II Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks namely market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company’s risk management assessment & policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same.
Risk assessment & management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk assessment & management policies and processes.
The Company’s financial risk management policy is set by the management. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. The Company manages market risk which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The management recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior Management and the Audit Committee.
a.) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits, continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business and through regular monitoring of conduct of accounts. The Company also holds security deposits for outstanding trade receivables which mitigate the credit risk to some extent.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. The management believes that no further provision is necessary in respect of trade receivables based on historical trends of these customers.
The Company had one Customer (Central Govt. and State Govt. both) that owned the company more than ' 67,138.11 Lakhs (March 31, 2023 : ' 64,834.63 Lakhs) and accounted for approximately 60% (March 31, 2023 : 73%) of all the receivables outstanding.
The credit risk on liquid funds such as banks in current and deposit accounts is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings.
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and committed borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities and by monitoring rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest payments based on contractual undiscounted payments.
* The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities including interest that will be paid on those liabilities upto the maturity of the instruments, ignoring the call and refinancing options available with the Company, if any. The amounts included above for variable interest rate instruments for non-derivative liabilities is subject to change if changes in variable interest rates differ to those estimates of interest rates determined at the end of the reporting period.
The above excludes any financial liabilities arising out of financial guarantee contract.
In respect of financial guarantees provided by the company to banks and financial institutions, the maximum exposure which the company is exposed to is the maximum amount which the company would have to pay if the guarantee is called upon. Based on the expectation at the end of the reporting period, the company considers that is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the guarantees provided.
Financing facilities :
The Company has access to financing facilities as described in below Note. The Company expects to meet its obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds of maturing financial assets.
c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments and all short term and long-term debt. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, trade payables, trade receivables and other financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities.
i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. The Company has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk as it does not generally have any financial assets or liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than INR.
a. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis :
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in exchange rates of USD with INR, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non-designated foreign currency derivatives. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.
ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company’s investments in term deposits (i.e., margin money) with banks are for short durations, and therefore do not expose the Company to significant interest rates risk.
b. Interest rate sensitivity :
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on exposure to interest rates for borrowings at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in case of borrowings that have floating rates.
III Capital Risk Management Policies and Objectives
The Company’s objective while managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern (so that it is enabled to provide returns and create value for its shareholders, and benefits for other stakeholders), support business stability and growth, ensure adherence to the covenants and restrictions imposed by lenders and / or relevant laws and regulations, and maintain an optimal and efficient capital structure so as to reduce the cost of capital and to maximise shareholders value. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce debt, etc.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions or its business requirements and the requirements of the financial covenants.
The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowings in the current period.
IV Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities as per Ind AS 7 - Statement of cash flows
The major changes in the Company’s liabilities arising from financing activities are due to financing cash flows and accrual of financial liabilities. The Company did not acquire any liabilities arising from financing activities during business combinations effected in the current period or comparative period.
The Company disclosed information about its interest-bearing loans and borrowings. There are no obligations under finance lease and hire purchase contracts.
C. Basis of identifying operating segments, reportable segments, segment profit and definition of each reportable segment and segment composition:(i) Basis of identifying operating segments:
Operating segments are identified as those components of the Company (a) that engage in business activities to earn revenues and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the Company’s other components) (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as ‘unallocated’.
(ii) Reportable segments:
An operating segment is classified as reportable segment if reported revenue (including inter-segment revenue) or absolute amount of result or assets exceed 10% or more of the combined total of all the operating segments.
(iii) Segment profit:
Performance of a segment is measured based on segment profit (before interest and tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
(iv) Segment composition:
a) Revenue from construction contract
b) Lease Rental from Investment Property (Bus Terminal & Depot and Commercial Complex) at Kota
c) Other comprises Inventory PropertyD. Revenue from one customer (Central Govt. and State Govt. both)
in Construction Contract segment amounting to '2,27,533.57 Lakhs (March 31, 2023 : ' 2,16,201.74 Lakhs) and accounted for approximately 61% (March 31, 2023 : 77%) contributed to more than 10% of the entity’s total revenue.

56 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods
A. Significant Judgements in applying accounting policies
The judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see note below), that the Company has made in the process of applying its accounting policies and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements pertain to :
(i) Kota Project : Investment Property :
The Company has developed (Bus Depot and Commercial Complex at Kota) for Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) under an “Agreement to Develop” / License agreement at a cost of ' 13,010.51 lakhs spent till 31.03.2024 including discounted value of license fees of ' 2,992.77 lacs recognised on application of Ind AS 116 effective from 01.04.2019 (upto 31.03.2023'12,926.27 Lakhs) on the land belonging to RSRTC under license arrangement. The expenditure (construction cost) incurred has been shown in Balance Sheet under the main head “Investment Property” and sub-head “Right of Use Assets (Building)”. The Company has a right to Lease Right of Use Asset (Commercial Complex). The primary lease period of Commercial complex is 30 years which can be extended for a further period of 10 years at the option of the Company from the date of completion of the project. Thereafter, the Commercial Complex will be handed over to RSRTC.
Determination of applicability of Appendix A of Service Concession Arrangement (‘SCA’), under Ind AS - 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’:
This Interpretation applies to public-to-private service concession arrangements if:
(a) the grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and
(b) the grantor controls through ownership, beneficial entitlement or otherwise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement.”
In the given case, though RSRTC controls/ regulates what services the Company must provide with the infrastructure, rental of commercial complex in the given case. However it does not regulate: to whom the Company must provide them and at what price. Since the first condition is not met, the management has concluded that SCA does not apply in this case.
Determination of applicability of Ind As 40 - Investment Property:
In view of the fact that the Company constructed the building at its own cost and in view of the substantial rights entrusted with the Company, the substance of the legal agreements with RSRTC, in the judgement of the management, is that the Company is the beneficial owner of the Building though legal title vests with RSRTC and the license fees payable by the Company to RSRTC is in effect for use of land.
The cost of construction represents building held by the Company to earn rentals rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. The commercial complex is not intended for sale in ordinary course of business of the Company.
Accordingly, the management has concluded that Ind As 40 shall apply in its case and the cost of construction shall be accounted for as investment property under Ind AS 40.
(ii) 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 Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.
B. 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 :
(i) Impairment of trade receivables:
The impairment provisions for trade receivables are based on lifetime expected credit loss based on a provision matrix. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and the rates used in the provision matrix.
(ii) Fair value measurements of financial instruments:
In estimating the fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available.
