Significant accounting policies

2.1 Statement of compliance:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
(as amended from time to time).

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation:

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical
cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain
financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act''), including
presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to
the Companies Act, 2013 (Ind AS Compliant Schedule III),
as applicable to the standalone financial statements (to
the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are
prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule
3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 (as amended from time to time). Historical cost is
generally based on the fair value of the consideration given
in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date,
regardless of whether that price is directly observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating
the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into
account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market
participants would take those characteristics into account

when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in
these financial statements is determined on such a basis
and measurements that have some similarities to fair value
but are not fair value, such as a net realisable value in Ind
AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based
on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value
measurements are observable and the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which
are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included
within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or
liability.

2.3 Interest in Joint Operations:

A joint operation is a joint arrangement where by the
parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating
to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists
only when decisions about the relevant activities require
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

When a company undertakes its activities under joint
operations, the company as a joint operator recognises in
relation to its interest in a joint operation:

1. Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly,

2. Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities
incurred jointly,

3. Its revenue, including its share of any revenue arising
jointly.

4. Its expenses, including its share of any expenses
incurred jointly.

The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues,
and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation
in accordance with the Ind AS applicable to the particular
assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

2.4 Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when
control of the goods or services are transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services.

A single performance obligation is identified in the
construction projects that the Company engages in, owing
to the high degree of integration and customisation of the
various goods and services to provide a combined output
which is transferred to the customer over time and not at a
specific point in time, since the entity''s performance creates
or enhances as asset that the customer controls as the asset
is created or enhanced.

With respect to the method for recognising revenue over
time (i.e. the method for measuring progress towards
complete satisfaction of a performance obligation), the
Company has established certain criteria that are applied
consistently for similar performance obligations. In this
regard, the method chosen by the Company to measure the
value of goods or services for which control is transferred
to the customer over time is the output method based on
surveys of performance completed to date (or measured
unit of work), according to which revenue is recognised
corresponding to the units of work performed and on the
basis of the price allocated thereto. In cases where the
work performed till the reporting date has not reached the
milestone specified in the contract, the Company recognises
revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that the
customer will acknowledge the same. This method is applied
as the progress of the work performed can be measured
during its performance on the basis of the contract. Under
this method, on a regular basis, the work completed under
each contract is measured and the corresponding output is
recognised as revenue.

Contract modifications are accounted for when additions,
deletions or changes are approved either to the scope
or price or both. Goods/services added that are not
distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis.
Goods / services those that are distinct are accounted
for prospectively as a separate contract, if the additional
goods/services are priced at the standalone selling price
else as a termination of the existing contract and creation
of a new contract . In cases where the additional work has
been approved but the corresponding change in price has
not been determined, the recognition of revenue is made

for an amount with respect to which it is highly probable
that a significant reversal will not occur.

If the consideration promised in a contract includes a
variable amount, this amount is recognised only to the
extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in
the amount recognised will not occur.

Contract costs

Costs related to work performed in projects are recognised
on an accrual basis. Costs incurred in connection with the
work performed are recognised as an expense.

Cost to fulfill the contract

The Company recognises asset from the cost incurred to
fulfill the contract such as set up and mobilisation costs and
amortises it over the contract period on a systematic basis
that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the
goods or services to which the asset relates.

Provision for future losses

Provision for future losses are recognised as soon as it
becomes evident that the total costs expected to be
incurred in a contract exceed the total expected revenue
from that contract.

Contract balances

i) Contract assets

A contract asset is recognised for amount of work
done but pending billing/acknowledgement by
customer or amounts billed but payment is due on
completion of future performance obligation, since it
is conditionally receivable. The provision for Expected
Credit Loss on contract assets is made on the same
basis as financial assets as stated in note no. 2.19.

ii) Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Company''s right to an
amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e.,
only the passage of time is required before payment of
the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies
of financial assets in section Financial instruments -
initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

iii) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods
or services to a customer for which the Company has
received advance payments from the customer. If a

customer pays consideration before the Company
transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract
liability is recognised when the consideration received.

2.5 Other income:

a) Dividend Income : Dividend income from Investments
is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive
payment has been established.

b) Interest income : Interest income from a financial
asset is recognised when it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company and the
amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest
income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the
principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected
life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying
amount on initial recognition.

c) Rental income : Rental income from operating leases
is generally recognised over the term of the relevant
lease.

2.6 Foreign exchange translation and foreign currency
transactions:

The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee.
These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees
(rounded off to crores).

Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the
exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions. Gains
and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign currency
transactions remaining unsettled at the end of the year are
translated at year end rates. The difference in translation of
monetary assets and liabilities and realised gains and losses
on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

The exchange difference on restatement of long term
receivables / payables from / to foreign operations that
are considered as net investments in such operation
are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the
separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the
individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as
appropriate.

Foreign branches functional currency is other than
reporting currency of its parent and foreign branch financial
statements are translated into reporting currency of its
parent using the following procedures.

Assets and Liabilities (both monetary and non-monetary)
are translated at the closing rate at the year end. Income
and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate
at the end of the respective month. All resulting exchange
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income
till the disposal of the net investment.

2.7 Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs include interest and exchange differences
arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent
they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the
extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying
assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss
over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to
and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period
from commencement of activities relating to construction
/ development of the qualifying asset upto the date of
capitalisation of such asset are included in the cost of the
assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended
and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during
extended periods when active development activity on the
qualifying assets is interrupted.

2.8 Employee Benefits:2.8.1 Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits:

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans
are recognised as an expense when employees have
rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Superannuation

The Company''s contribution to superannuation fund is
considered as defined contribution plans and are charged
as an expense based on the amount of contribution
required to be made and when services are rendered by the
employees.

Provident Fund

Contribution to Provident fund (a defined contribution
plan) made to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner are
recognised as expense.

Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the projected unit
credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at
the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement,
comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the
changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on
plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately
in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in
other comprehensive income in the period in which they
occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive
income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and
is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of
a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying
the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net
defined benefit liability or asset.

2.8.2 Compensated Absences:

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to
certain limits, for future encashment, as per the policy of
the Company.

The liability towards such unutilized leave as at the
end of each balance sheet date is determined based on
independent actuarial valuation and recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

In respect of employees of overseas branch, end of
service benefit is accrued in accordance with the terms of
employment. Employees entitlements to annual leave and
gratuity are recognised on actual basis and charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.9 Taxation:

Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax

2.9.1 Current tax:

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable
income for the year as determined in accordance with the
applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income-tax
Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period in the countries where the Company operates and
generates taxable income.

2.9.2 Deferred tax:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases

used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for
all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if
the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition
(other than in a business combination) of assets and
liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable
profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax
liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based
on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to
the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year.
The deferred tax asset is recognised for MAT credit available
only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned
company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed
to be carried forward. In the year in which the company
recognises MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of
credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part
of deferred tax asset. The company reviews the "MAT credit
entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down
the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it
will pay normal tax during the specified period.

2.9.3 Current and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred taxes are recognised in Statement of
Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity respectively.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the
tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.

2.10 Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
The cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises of
purchase price, applicable duties and taxes, any directly
attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for
its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition/construction of
qualifying PPE, that takes a substantial period of time to get
ready for its intended use, upto the date the asset is ready
for its intended use. The initial estimate of the costs of
dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on
which it is located is required to be included in the cost of the
respective item of property plant and equipment and Cost
of major inspections is recognised in the carrying amount
of property, plant and equipment as a replacement, if
recognition criteria are satisfied and any remaining carrying
amount of the cost of previous inspection is derecognised.
PPE retired from active use and held for sale are stated at
the lower of their net book value and net realisable value
and are disclosed separately.

An item of PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the
disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and
equipment is determined as the difference between the
sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognised in statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Depreciation and Amortisation:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or
other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual
value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment and
investment property have been provided on the straight line
method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to
the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction
accessories (6 years), some of the mining equipments such
as Excavators upto 3.1 cum capacity (7 years), Tippers (6
years), Dozers & Motor Graders (8 years) working in Mining
projects, in whose case the life of the assets and the residual
value has been assessed based on technical assessment,
taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated
usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset,
past history of replacement, anticipated technological
changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint
venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/
Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed
in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Intangible Assets are amortised, on straight line method
based on the useful life as assessed by the Management.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for
an intangible asset is reviewed every year.

2.12 Investment property: Investment properties are
properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital
appreciation (including property under construction for
such purposes). Investment properties are measured
initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, investment properties are measured
in accordance with the Ind AS16''s requirement for cost
model.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or
when the investment property is permanently withdrawn
from use and no further economic benefits expected from
disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
property is included in Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period in which the property is derecognised.

2.13 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the
Company controls the asset, it is probable that future
economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to
the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably
measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired
intangible assets are recognised at cost. Following initial
recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization
method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with
the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for
on a prospective basis.

2.14 Inventories:

Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares
are valued at weighted average cost or net realisable value,
whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the
materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties
and taxes.

2 Significant accounting policies:2.1 Statement of compliance:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation:

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act''), including presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (Ind AS Compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the standalone financial statements (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time). Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as a net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3 Interest in Joint Operations:

A joint operation is a joint arrangement where by the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

When a company undertakes its activities under joint operations, the company as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

1. its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly,

2. its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly,

specific point in time, since the entity''s performance creates or enhances as asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

With respect to the method for recognising revenue over time (i.e. the method for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation), the Company has established certain criteria that are applied consistently for similar performance obligations. In this regard, the method chosen by the Company to measure the value of goods or services for which control is transferred to the customer over time is the output method based on surveys of performance completed to date (or measured unit of work), according to which revenue is recognised corresponding to the units of work performed and on the basis of the price allocated thereto. In cases where the work performed till the reporting date has not reached the milestone specified in the contract, the Company recognises revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that the customer will acknowledge the same. This method is applied as the progress of the work performed can be measured during its performance on the basis of the contract. Under this method, on a regular basis, the work completed under each contract is measured and the corresponding output is recognised as revenue.

Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the scope or price or both. Goods/services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis. Goods / services those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively as a separate contract, if the additional goods/services are priced at the standalone selling price else as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract . In cases where the additional work has been approved but the corresponding change in price has not been determined, the recognition of revenue is made for an amount with respect to which it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, this amount is recognised only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount recognised will not occur.

Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling ( if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

2.8.2Compensated Absences:

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognised for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognises MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

2.9.3 Current and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred taxes are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the

tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

2.10 Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises of purchase price, applicable duties and taxes, any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition/construction of qualifying PPE, that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is required to be included in the cost of the respective item of property plant and equipment and Cost of major inspections is recognised in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as a replacement, if recognition criteria are satisfied and any remaining carrying amount of the cost of previous inspection is derecognised. For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of PPE measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2015.

PPE retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately.

An item of PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Depreciation and Amortisation:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment and investment property have been provided on the straight line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction accessories (6 years), some of the mining equipments such as Excavators upto 3.1 cum capacity (7 years), Tippers (6 years), Dozers & Motor Graders (8 years) working in Mining projects, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Intangible Assets are amortised, on straight line method based on the useful life as assessed by the Management. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset is reviewed every year.

2.12 Investment property: Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16''s requirement for cost model.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of Investment property measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 01, 2015.

2.13 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.14 Inventories:

Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

Properties Under Development:

Properties under development are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost comprises all direct

development expenditure, administrative expenses and borrowing costs.

2.15 Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures: On initial recognition, these investments are recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequently, they are measured at cost.

2.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:

The Company recognises provisions when there is present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for Contingent liabilities is made in the notes on accounts when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when flow of economic benefits is probable.

2.17 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

2.18 Financial assets:

Financial asset is

1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,

2. Contractual right to -

a) receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Entity.

2.19 Subsequent measurement of the financial assets:

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in case where the company has made an irrevocable selection based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

(iv) The Company recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit and loss.

2.20 Financial liabilities:

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

a) deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Entity.

The company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

2.21 Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities:

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

2.22 Derecognition of financial instruments:

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company''s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.23 Fair value of financial instruments:

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may or may not be realized.

2.24 Impairment of Assets:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment: Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

2.25 Fair value measurement:

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

b. In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

2.26 Leases :

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except short-term leases and low value leases.

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the Company''s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives.

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of premises and construction equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date or the adoption of Ind AS 116 and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.27 Earnings Per Share :

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects

of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.28 Cash Flow Statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.29 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies:

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.

(i) Revenue recognition: The Company uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labour costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognised revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future , and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Items

requiring

significant

estimate

Assumption and estimation uncertainty

Review of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, depreciation method and residual value of property plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. During the current year, there has been no change in life, depreciation method and residual value considered for the assets.

Some of the Company''s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party / internal qualified valuers to perform the valuation . Finance team works closely with the qualified external / internal valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The Chief Financial Officer reports the valuation committee''s findings to the Board of Directors about the causes of fluctuations in the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Provision for doubtful receivables and contract assets

In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables and contracts assets, management''s judgement involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations and the likelihood of collection based on the terms of the contract.

Estimation of net realisable value of inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair value. In estimating the net realisable value / Fair value of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of future selling prices and costs necessary to make the sale.

Provision for

employee

benefits

The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting period . These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.

Provision for taxes

Significant judgments are required in determining the provision for income taxes, including the amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions. The company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

Items

requiring

significant

estimate

Assumption and estimation uncertainty

Indirect tax litigations

The Company is subjected to VAT assessments in various states where projects were executed. Basing on applicable VAT rules of various states the Company estimated the VAT liability and provided in the book of accounts. The VAT assessments in different states are at different stages and on some of the assessment orders, the Company made appeals and they are at various tribunals and courts.

2.30 Exceptional Items:

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

2.31 Operating cycle:

The Company adopts operating cycle based on the project period (including Defect Liability Period) and accordingly all project related assets and liabilities are classified into current and non current. Other than project related assets and liabilities, 12 months period is considered as normal operating cycle.

2.32 Recent accounting pronouncements:

2 Significant accounting policies:

2.1 Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time). Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as a net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

- Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3 Interest in Joint Operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement , which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

When a company undertakes its activities under joint operations, the company as a joint operator recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

1. its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly,

2. its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly,

3 its revenue from the sale of its share arising from the joint operation,

4. its share of the revenue from the joint operations, and

5. its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the Ind AS applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

2.4 Revenue Recognition

i) Project Division: Revenue from construction contracts is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined by survey of work performed and / or on completion of a physical proportion of the contract work, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the contracted. Future expected loss, if any, is recognized as and when assessed.

ii) Property Development: Revenue is recognized when the Company enters into an agreement for sale with the buyer and all significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer and there is no uncertainty regarding reliability of the sale consideration.

2.5 Other income:

a) Dividend Income : Dividend income from Investments is recognized when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established.

b) Interest income : Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

c) Rental income : Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized over the term of the relevant lease.

2.6 Foreign exchange translation and foreign currency transactions:

The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to million).

Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transactions. Gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions remaining unsettled at the end of the year are translated at year end rates. The difference in translation of monetary assets and liabilities and realized gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The exchange difference on restatement of long term receivables / payables from / to foreign operations that are considered as net investments in such operation are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate.

Foreign branches functional currency is other than reporting currency of its parent and foreign branch financial statements are translated into reporting currency of its parent using the following procedures.

Assets and Liabilities (both monetary and non-monetary) are translated at the closing rate at the year end. Income and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate at the end of the respective month. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income till the disposal of the net investment.

2.7 Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs include interest and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilized for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalization of such asset are included in the cost of the assets. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

2.8 Employee Benefits:

2.8.1 Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Superannuation

The Company''s contribution to superannuation fund is considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

Provident Fund

Contribution to Provident fund (a defined contribution plan) made to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner are recognized as expense.

Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling ( if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest) , is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

2.8.2 Compensated Absences

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment, as per the policy of the Company.

The liability towards such unutilized leave as at the end of each balance sheet date is determined based on independent actuarial valuation and recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In respect of employees of overseas branch, end of service benefit is accrued in accordance with the terms of employment. Employees entitlements to annual leave and gratuity are recognized on actual basis and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.9 Taxation

Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

2.9.1 Current Tax: Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

2.9.2 Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognized for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the concerned company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

2.9.3 Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

2.10 Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises of purchase price, applicable duties and taxes, any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets, upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is required to be included in the cost of the respective item of property plant and equipment and Cost of major inspections is recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as a replacement, if recognition criteria are satisfied and any remaining carrying amount of the cost of previous inspection is derecognized. For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of PPE measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2015.

Property, Plant and equipment retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are disclosed separately.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment and investment property have been provided on the straight line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction accessories (6 years), in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Intangible Assets are amortized, on straight line method based on the useful life as assessed by the Management. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset is reviewed every year.

2.12 Investment property: Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16''s requirement for cost model.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of Investment property measured as per previous GAAP, accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1,

2015.

2.13 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognized at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.14 Inventories:

Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

Work in Progress:

Work-in-Progress is valued at the contracted rates less profit margin / estimates.

Properties Under Development:

Properties under development are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost comprises all direct development expenditure, administrative expenses and borrowing costs.

2.15 Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures:

On initial recognition, these investments are recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequently, they are measured at cost.

2.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :

The Company recognizes provisions when there is present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for Contingent liabilities is made in the notes on accounts when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when flow of economic benefits is probable.

2.17 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.

2.18 Financial assets

Financial asset is

1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,

2. Contractual right to -

a) receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the Entity.

2.19 Subsequent measurement of the financial assets

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in case where the company has made an irrevocable selection based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit and loss.

(iv) The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit and loss.

2.20 Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

a) deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Entity.

The company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

2.21 Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

2.22 Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.23 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may or may not be realized.

2.24 Impairment of Assets:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

2.25 Fair value measurement

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

b. In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

2.26 Leases :

The Company''s leasing arrangements are mainly in respect of operating leases for premises and construction equipment. The leasing arrangements range from 11 months to 10 years generally and are usually cancellable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.

2.27 Earnings Per Share :

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.28 Cash Flow Statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.29 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statement.

(i) Revenue recognition: The Company uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labour costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future , and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

2.30 Exceptional Items:

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

2.31 Operating cycle:

The Company adopts operating cycle based on the project period and accordingly all project related assets and liabilities are classified into current and noncurrent. Other than project related assets and liabilities, 12 months period is considered as normal operating cycle.

2.32 Recent accounting pronouncements:

Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted by the Company:

Ind AS 115, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

Ind AS 115 was notified on March 28, 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018. The Company has initiated to develop the modalities for implementation of Ind AS 115 relating to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and it continues to evaluate the changes to accounting system and processes, additional disclosure requirements that may be necessary. This amendment is effective from April 01, 2018. A reliable estimate of the quantitative impact of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible after completion of the implementation process.

Other amendments:

On March 28, 2018, the MCA, issued certain amendments to Ind AS. The amendments relate to the following standards:

- Ind AS 40, Investment Property

- Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

Up to the year ended March 31,2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the first Ind AS financial statements and the date of transition to Ind AS is April 1,2015. Reconciliations and description of the effect of the transition to Ind AS from Indian GAAP is given in Note 47.

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as a net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

- Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2.3 Interest in Joint Operations

2.9.2 Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

2.11 Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment has been provided on the straight line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of construction accessories (6 years), in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, maintenance, etc.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and equipment in joint venture operations provided on Straight Line Method/Written Down Value Method based on useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

2.13 Intangible Assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognized at cost. Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.14 Inventories: Raw Materials:

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost or under. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

2.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :

The Company recognizes provisions when there is present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for Contingent liabilities is made in the notes on accounts when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when flow of economic benefit is probable.

2.17 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

2.18 Financial assets

Financial asset is

1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,

2. Contractual right to -

a) receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the Entity.

2.19 Subsequent measurement of the financial assets

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in case where the company has made an irrevocable selection based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

(iv) The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit or loss.

2.20 Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

a) deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or

b) exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Entity.

2.21 Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

2.22 Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.23 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may or may not be realized.

2.24 Impairment of Assets:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment: Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

2.25 Fair value measurement

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

b. In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

2.26 Leases :

The Company''s leasing arrangements are mainly in respect of operating leases for premises and construction equipment. The leasing arrangements range from 11 months to 10 years generally and are usually cancellable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.

2.27 Earnings Per Share :

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.28 Cash Flow Statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.29 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statement.

(i) Revenue recognition: The company uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are the key assumptions concerning the future , and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

2.30 Exceptional Items:

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

2.31 Operating cycle:

The Company adopts operating cycle based on the project period and accordingly all project related assets and liabilities are classified into current and noncurrent. Other than project related assets and liabilities, 12 months period is considered as normal operating cycle.
