2.3 Provisions
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow or resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. There are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
2.4 Contingent Liabilities
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is more likely than not that there will be an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not discounted to its present value, and are determined
based on the management's best estimate of the amount of obligation required at the year end. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current management estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that have arisen from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events not wholly within the control of the Company. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation where the likelihood of an outflow of resources is remote, no disclosure or provision is made.
2.5 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of Financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the material accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
a) Revenue from contracts with customers
The management applied judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, such as identifying performance obligations, uncertainty of variable consideration and estimates on the contract costs.
b) Valuation of accounts receivable and contract assets in view of credit losses
Accounts receivable and contract assets are material items in the Company's financial statements. The
Company has concentration of credit exposure on a particular customers, being a government organisation, where there could be delays in collection to various reasons. The management periodically assess the adequacy of provisions recognised , as applicable, on receivables and contract assets, based on factors such as credit risk of customer, status of project, discussions with the customer and underlying contractual terms and conditions. This involves significant judgement.
c) Financial Instruments
Classification and measurement - Refer note 1.4 ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Financial Statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Estimation of contract cost and revenue recognition
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised over a period of time in accordance with IND AS 115, "Revenue from contracts with Customers". The contract revenue usually extends over a period 1 to 2 years and the contact prices are fixed and in few cases subject to clauses with price variances and variable consideration. In accordance with the Input method prescribed under IND AS 115, the contract revenue is measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total costs. This method required the Company to perform an initial assessment of total estimated costs and reassess the total construction cost at the end of each reporting period to determine the appropriate percentage of completion. The estimation of total cost to complete the contract involves significant judgement and estimation throughout the period of contract, as it is subject to revision as the contract progresses- based on latest available information including physical work done on ground, changes in cost estimates and need to accrue provision for onerous contracts if any. Besides recognition of revenues based on actual cost and estimated cost to complete the work at the period end, the measurement recognition of contract assets (unbilled revenue) and contract liabilities (unearned revenue) related to each of the contract is also depended on the cost.
b) Investments and Loans to Subsidiaries
The Company has extended loans to subsidiaries. Due to the nature of business in the infrastructure projects the Company is exposed to heightened risk in respect of the impairment of loans granted to the aforementioned related parties. There is significant judgment and estimation uncertainty involved in assessing the impairment of above loans made to related parties because it is dependent on number of infrastructure projects being completed as per the schedule timeline and generation of future cash flows.
The carrying amount of investment in subsidiaries held at cost less impairment. These investments are associated with significant risks in respect of valuation. Changes in business environment could have a significant impact of the valuation. The investments are carried at cost less any impairment in value of such investments. These investments are unquoted and hence it is difficult to measure the recoverable amount. The Company perform annual assessment of impairment to identify any indicators of impairment which are derived from forecasted cash flows which require management to make significant estimated assumptions related to future revenue growth, concession period, operation cost, discount rate and the assessment of the status of the project and cost to complete balance work.
c) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefit)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate are current best estimates of the expected mortality rates of plan members, both during and after employment. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market. Refer Note 41 for further details.
d) Useful life of assets of Property, Plant and Equipment
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed at each financial year end. Refer Note 1.3 and 3 for further details.
e) Calculation of loss allowance
When measuring ECL the Company uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive.
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
f) Adoption of new accounting principles
Onerous contracts - cost of fulfilling a contract (amendment to Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets)
The amendment clarified that the ’costs of fulfilling a contract' comprise both the incremental costs and allocation of other direct costs. The Company has adopted this amendment effective 1 April 2022 and the adoption did not have any material impact on its financial statements.
g) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
On 31 March 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 effective from 1 April 2023. Following are the key amended provisions which may have an impact on the financial statements of the Company:
Disclosure of accounting policies (amendments to Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements)
The amendments intend to assist in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in the financial statements. The amendments to Ind AS 1 require entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their Material accounting policies. The amendments provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Definition of accounting estimate (amendments to Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors)
The amendments distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (amendments to Ind AS 12 - Income taxes)
The amendments specify how to account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases. The amendments clarify that lease transactions give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences and financial statements should reflect the future tax impacts of these transactions through recognizing deferred tax. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment, if any, in its financial statements.
Other amendments included in the notification do not have any significant impact on the financial statements.
Corporate Guarantee given to SPV namely M/s Ceigall Bathinda Dabwali Highways Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs. 1,860 millions is unconditional and irrevocable Corporate Guarantee as per bank sanction letter, shall be provided till receipt of first two full annuities.
The Company as part of its various commitments to be fulfilled under Construction Contracts has provided Bank Guarantees to various parties.
(b) Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgments/decisions pending with various forums/authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its Standalone Financial Statement. The company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position.
Level 2: This level includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: This level includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
C. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company's Finance team monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by diversification of investments, credit limit to exposures, etc. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company's activities are not exposed to it except interest rates risk/ liquidity which impact returns on investments. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Foreign currency risk management
The company does not have any exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
D. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is only dealing with government authorities which results in mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk, principally consist of balance with banks, investments in bonds, trade receivables and loans and advances.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectations of recovery. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized as income in Statement of profit and loss.
The company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experiance and past trends
E. OTHER PRICE RISKS INCLUDING INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to risk of changes in market rate is limited to short term working capital loans at variable rate taken from banks as the Company's long term borrowings bear fixed interest rate.
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The Company manages the interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate borrowings.
Credit risk rating
The Company assesses and manages credit risk of financial assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
Note: The above loans were given to the subsidiaries for their normal business activities.
