Based on its internal assessment with regard to future operations and valuation assessment by an external expert during the year ended December 31, 2023, the management of the Company has fair valued its investments and for reasons as detailed in 5(3), 5(4), 5(5) and 5(6) below, the management is of the view that the fair values of the Company's investments in GEL are appropriate.

3 GMR Warora Energy Limited ('GWEL'), a subsidiary of GEL, is engaged in the business of generation and sale of electrical energy from its coal-based power plant of 600 MW situated at Warora. GWEL had accumulated losses of H 585.44 crore as at March 31, 2023 and the same has been reduced to H 391.52 crore as at March 31, 2024 .GWEL has generated profit of H 194.02 crore during the year ended March 31, 2024 (March 31, 2023: H 167.87 crore).

There have been delays in receipt of the receivables from customers which has resulted in delays in meeting its financial liabilities. GWEL had claimed compensation for coal cost pass through and various "change in law" events from its customers under the Power Purchase Agreements ('PPA') and have filed petitions with the regulatory authorities for settlement of such claims in favor of GWEL. GWEL has trade receivables,

other receivables, and unbilled revenue (net of impairment allowance) of H 491.21 crore and the payment from the customers against the claims including Interest on such claims which are substantially pending receipt. The management of GWEL based on its internal assessment, has accounted for an impairment allowance amounting to H 393.89 crore (March 31, 2023 H Nil) on the aforesaid outstanding receivables by making adjustments in the standalone financial statements of GWEL for the year ended March 31, 2024 and accordingly the management has performed valuation of GWEL after adjusting for these outstanding receivables.

Further, GWEL received notices from one of its customer disputing payment of capacity charges of H 132.01 crore for the period March 23, 2020 to June 30, 2020 as the customer had not availed power during the said period sighting force majeure on account of COVID 19 pandemic. GWEL responded and clarified that the said situation is not covered under the force majeure clause in view of the clarification by the Ministry of Power stating that Discoms will have to comply with the obligation to pay fixed capacity charges as per PPA. The customer is of the view that the aforesaid clarification by the Ministry of Power cannot override the terms of the PPA and continue to dispute the payment thereof.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, GWEL filed petition with Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ('CERC') for settlement of the dispute. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the said petition was decided in favour of GWEL vide CERC order dated January 20, 2022 wherein CERC directed the customer to pay the aforesaid outstanding capacity charges along with delayed payment surcharge within 60 days from the date of the aforesaid order. The customer has filed an appeal against the said CERC order before Appellate Tribunal for Electricity ('APTEL') during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, APTEL issued an interim order and directed the customer to pay 25% of the principal amount within a period of one week from the date of its interim order to GWEL and deposit the balance outstanding amount in an interest-bearing fixed deposit receipt with a nationalized bank. However, GWEL has not received any amount from the customer and the matter is pending conclusion. The management based on its internal assessment has accounted for impairment alowance on the aforesaid capacity charges during the year ended March 31, 2024.

Further, GWEL has sucessfully implimented Resolution plan under Prudential framework for Resolution of Stressed Assets, as prescribed by the RBI during the previous year ended March 31, 2023.

Accordingly, GWEL has generated profit after tax of H 194.02 crore during the year ended March 31, 2024 and the management of GWEL expects that the plant will generate sufficient profits in the future years and will be able to recover

the receivables and based on business plans and valuation assessment by an external expert during the year ended March 31, 2024, considering key assumptions such as capacity utilization of plant in future years based on current levels of utilization including merchant sales and sales through other long term PPA's and management's plan for entering into a new long-term PPA to replace the PPA earlier entered with one of its customers which has expired in June 2020 and the implementation of the Prudential Framework for resolution of stressed assets with the lenders of GWEL, the management is of the view that the carrying value of the investments in GWEL by GEL as at March 31, 2024 is appropriate.

4 GWEL entered into a PPA with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited ('MSEDCL') for sale of power for an aggregate contracted capacity of 200 MW, wherein power was required to be scheduled from power plant's bus bar. MSEDCL disputed place of evacuation of power with Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission ('MERC'), wherein MERC has directed GWEL to construct separate lines for evacuation of power through State Transmission Utility ('STU') though GWEL was connected to Central Transmission Utility ('CTU'). Aggrieved by the MERC Order, GWEL preferred an appeal with APTEL.

APTEL vide its interim Order dated February 11, 2014 directed GWEL to start scheduling the power from GWEL's bus bar and bear transmission charges of interstate transmission system towards supply of power.

GWEL in terms of the interim order scheduled the power from its bus bar from March 17, 2014 and paid inter-state transmission charges. APTEL vide its final Order dated May 08, 2015 upheld GWEL's contention of scheduling the power from bus bar and directed MSEDCL to reimburse the inter-state transmission charges hitherto borne by GWEL as per its interim order. Accordingly, GWEL has raised claim of H 616.33 crore towards reimbursement of transmission charges from March 17, 2014 till March 31, 2024.

In view of the favorable Order from APTEL, receipt of substantial amount towards reimbursement of transmission charges and legal expert advice, GWEL has recognized the reimbursement of transmission charges of H 616.33 crore relating to the period from March 17, 2014 to March 31, 2024. Further the cost of transmission charges as stated with effect from December 2020 is directly invoiced by PGCIL to DISCOMS and has been disclosed as contingent liability in the financials of GWEL pending the final outcome of the matter in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

The payment from the customers against the claims is substantially pending receipt as at March 31, 2024. Based on certain favorable interim regulatory orders with regard to its petition for 'Tariff Determination' and 'Tariff Revision' with its customers, the management is confident of a favorable outcome towards the outstanding receivables of GKEL. The Management of GKEL based on its internal assessement , external opinion and certain regulatory favourable is of the view that the carrying value of trade receivables and unbilled revenue as at March 31, 2024 is appropriate.

Further GKEL has signed PPA for supply of 102 MW round the clock to TANGEDCO for a period of five years through the aggregator M/s PTC India Limited. Further GKEL is actively pursuing its customers for realization of claims.

GKEL has signed fuel supply agreement with Coal India Limited for supply of coal from its Mahanadi Coal Field Mines for 3.64 million ton, which is within a distance of 15 KM from the plant site. In addition to the above, GKEL has won the bid (Shakti-III) for supply of 0.40 million ton of coal for balance 150 MW. There has been an improvement in tariff and higher demand on Exchange, as evidenced by higher profits during the year ended March 31, 2024. Further, GKEL had entered an agreement with SEPCO in 2008 for the construction and operation of coal fired thermal power plant. There were certain disputes between the parties in relation to the delays in construction and various technical issues relating to the construction and operation of the plant. SEPCO served a notice of dispute to GKEL in March 2015 and initiated arbitration proceedings.

The Arbitral Tribunal has issued an opinion (the Award) on September 07, 2020 against GKEL. Since there were computation/ clerical/ typographical errors in the Award, both parties (GKEL and SEPCO) immediately applied for correction of the award under Section 33 of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act 1996 (as amended). The Arbitral Tribunal considered the applications of both the parties and has pronounced the corrected award on November 17, 2020. GKEL already accounted for the aforementioned liability as per the award pertaining to the retention money, unpaid invoices and the Bank Guarantee revoked. GKEL had challenged the award under section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa on February 15, 2021 and December 31, 2021 respectively.

The Hon'ble High Court of Orissa vide its judgement and order dated June 17, 2022 has dismissed the petition filed by GKEL on February 15, 2021 to put aside the Final Award on the basis that impugned award does not fall under the category which warrants interference under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act. GKEL has challenged judgement by filing special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India on grounds; a) Violation of Principles of Natural Justice, b) Judgement is in violation of the guidelines laid by the Hon'ble Supreme Court for timely pronouncing of judgements c) Violation of due process of law and others.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the hearing on July 25, 2022 has issued notice and stayed the operation of the Section 34 Judgment. Vide its order dated May 15, 2023, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has disposed of SLP by allowing GKEL to approach the Commercial Appellate Division Bench, as constituted by the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa by way of an appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration Act with liberty to raise all grounds and contentions. It had further directed that the aforesaid stay shall continue till June 30, 2023.

In furtherance of the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, GKEL has filed an appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration Act before the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa on June 09, 2023, challenging Section 34 judgement and the Award. The Hon'ble High Court of Orissa pronounced its judgement on September 27, 2023 wherein it has allowed the Section 37 appeal and set aside Section 34 judgement and the Award. Further, during the current year, SEPCO has filed a special leave petition (SLP) with Supreme Court on December 21, 2023 which was registered on January 30, 2024 by Supreme Court and will be listed for hearing in due course. GKEL has also raised and filed its preliminary objections to the very maintainability of the SLP filed by SEPCO.

Based on legal advice the liability including interest and other costs under the Final Award has been set aside until the claims are raised again by SEPCO basis the available legal recourse GKEL in its books has made provisions in view of the disputes between SEPCO and GKEL, based on generally accepted accounting practices. Irrespective of the heads under which they appear or their nomenclature/ heading/ title/ narration, etc., such provisions do not make GKEL liable for payment since liability is disputed. GKEL expects to have a favourable outcome in the aforesaid pending litigations, hence resulting in reduction of liabilities towards SEPCO. Consequently, pending conclusion, GKEL has retained liabilities towards SEPCO as per the Arbitration award dated September 07, 2020.

In view of these matters explained above, business plans and valuation of GKEL performed by an external expert using the discounted future cash flows method which is significantly dependent on the achievement of certain key assumptions

considered in aforementioned valuation such as expansion and optimal utilization of existing plant capacity, timing and amount of settlement of disputes with customers and capital creditors which are outstanding as on March 31, 2024, the management is of the view that the carrying value of the investments in GKEL held by GEL as at March 31, 2024 is appropriate."

6 GMR Bajoli Holi Hydropower Private Limited ('GBHHPL'), a joint venture of GEL has set up 180 MW hydro based power plant in Chamba, District of Himachal Pradesh. It had experienced delays in the completion of construction and incurred costs overruns. During the Previous year ended March 31, 2023, GBHHPL has commenced commercial operations.

Further, during the Previous year i.e. with effect from July 13,

2022, GBHHPL has terminated its agreement with Gammon Engineers and Contractors Private Limited ('the contractor') in respect of the hydropower project as GBHHPL noticed repeated slippages by the contractor in achieving the targets and multifarious breaches under the work orders.

The construction had to be completed by June 2018, however the project was delayed and as a part of one time settlement with the contractor, extension was granted till May 31, 2020. Even after such time extension and payment of huge unadjusted advances, the contractor could not finish the critical components of civil works within the extended date and further delayed the completion of the project. As a consequence of such delay, GBHHPL had recovered its dues including due to liquidated damages and unadjusted advances from the contractor by way of invoking available bank guarantees (BGs) provided by the contractor, amounting to H 128.89 crore and accordingly GBHHPL has adjusted it against such advances.

Further on June 10, 2022, GBHHPL invoked arbitration against the contractor to recover their further dues (capital advances) amounting to H 273.00 crore (assumed at discounted value of H 196.56 crore, GPUIL's share H156.97 crore). However counter claims were also filed by the contractor before the arbitration tribunal towards costs and damages on account of prolongation of the Contract. GBHHPL filed its reply to the Statement of Defense and counter claims on March 01, 2023. Subsequently, consolidated statement of claims and counter claims were directed to be filed by the Arbitration Tribunal which have been filed in the month of August 2023. Next hearing date is yet to be decided. Currently, the matter is pending adjudication before the Arbitral Tribunal.

Based on the assessment of such claims and upon consideration of advice from the independent legal consultant, the management believes that GBHHPL has reasonable chances of recovery of its dues from the contractor in the future and accordingly, based on the valuation assessment carried out by an external expert during the period ended December 31,

2023, is of the view that the carrying value of its investments

of H 257.48 crore (March 31, 2023 H 273.71 crore) in GBHHPL held by GEL as at March 31, 2024 is appropriate.

7 The Company together with GMR Highway Limited ("GMRHL") a subsidiary of the Company, has invested in GMR Hyderabad Vijayawada Expressways Private Limited ('GHVEPL') amounting to H 1,136.54 crore. Based on its internal assessment with regard to future operations and valuation assessment by an external expert during the year ended December 31, 2023, the management of the Company has fair valued its investments and for reasons as detailed below, the management is of the view that the fair values of the Company's investments in GHVEPL is appropriate.

GHVEPL a step down subsidiary of the Company, has been incurring losses since the commencement of its commercial operations and has accumulated losses of H 1,803.99 crore (March 31, 2023 H1,653.86 crore) as at March 31,

2024. The management believes that these losses are primarily due to loss of revenue arising as a result of drop in commercial traffic on account of bifurcation of State of Andhra Pradesh and ban imposed on sand mining in the region. The management of the Group based on its internal assessment and a legal opinion, believes that these events constitute a Change in Law as per the Concession Agreement and GHVEPL is entitled to a claim for losses suffered on account of the aforementioned reasons and accordingly filed its claim for the loss of revenue till the year ended March 31, 2017 with National Highways Authority of India ('NHAI').

The claim of GHVEPL was rejected by NHAI and accordingly during the year ended March 31, 2018, GHVEPL had decided to proceed with arbitration and accordingly Arbitral Tribunal was constituted and claims were filed.

On October 09, 2009 GHVEPL and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) entered into the concession agreement for the project highway. The project was initially developed from existing 2 lanes to 4 lanes to be further developed to 6 laning subsequently (before 14^th anniversary of the appointed date). If 6 laning is not carried out (if so required by NHAI/desired by GHVEPL), concession period would be restricted to 15 years as against 25 years. GHVEPL has been amortising intangible assets over the concession period of 25 years.

The Arbitral Tribunal vide its order dated March 31, 2020, had pronounced the award unanimously, upholding GHVEPL's contention that bifurcation of state of Andhra Pradesh and ban on sand mining in the region constitutes Change in Law event and GHVEPL is entitled for compensation for the loss of revenue arising as a result of drop in commercial vehicles. Majority of the Tribunal members have directed NHAI to constitute a committee for determining the claim amount based on data/ records available with GHVEPL and NHAI.

The minority member in the Tribunal however was of the opinion that Tribunal should have constituted the Committee instead of directing NHAI, which is against the principle of natural justice. GHVEPL, aggrieved by the findings, had filed applications under Section 9 and 34 of the Arbitration Act, 1996, before Delhi High Court challenging the award on the limited ground of (i) constitution of the committee by NHAI for quantification of compensation and (ii) for interim measures by restraining NHAI, demanding premium and taking coercive / precipitate measures under the Concession Agreement. Vide order dated August 4, 2020, the Hon'ble Delhi High Court upheld the decision of the Arbitral Tribunal that there was a change in law due to ban on sand mining and State bifurcation.

The Hon'ble Delhi High Court has also held that GHVEPL is entitled for compensation due to Change in Law and the application of NHAI was dismissed. For quantification of claim of GHVEPL, the committee to be appointed by NHAI has been struck down and in its place the Court has appointed a retired judge of Supreme Court as sole arbitrator to quantify the claims.

On February 28, 2022, the Sole Arbitrator had submitted his report to Hon'ble Delhi High Court by determining the claim amount at H 1,672.20 crore, as against claimed amount of H 1,676.34 crore, up to March 31, 2020 with direction to follow the same methodology and formula for claims for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 and onwards. Further, the Sole arbitrator has also granted interest on claim amount in terms of Clause 47.5 of the Concession Agreement.

The report submitted by the Sole arbitrator has been taken on record by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court and the Court has fixed the next hearing on July 10, 2024. On March 29, 2022, NHAI has made an application before the Sole arbitrator seeking correction of computational error in his report submitted to the Hon'ble High Court. On October 20, 2022 the sole arbitrator has passed an order dismissing the application made by NHAI. NHAI, in the interim has also filed an application u/s 34 of Arbitration Act before Hon'ble Delhi High Court against the report of Sole Arbitrator which is posted for hearing in September 2024.

NHAI has challenged the aforesaid Order dated August 04, 2020 before divisional bench of Hon'ble Delhi High Court, wherein the Hon'ble Delhi High Court has clarified that the sole arbitrator shall continue to discharge his duties subject to final outcome of the appeal however in the interim order dated September 14, 2021 the Hon'ble Court has formed a prima facie view that it would only be fair that NHAI should secure the Premium payable by the GHVEPL till the issues are resolved. Aggrieved the said order of Divisional Bench, the GHVEPL filed a Special leave petition before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, wherein the Supreme Court vide its Order dated March 10, 2022 has quashed the impugned interim order with the request directing the Hon'ble Delhi High Court to decide the matter as expeditiously as possible. The Divisional Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Delhi has

pronounced its judgement on May 07, 2024 wherein it has upheld the order dated August 04, 2020.

On May 08, 2020, GHVEPL has received a notice from NHAI stating that it is satisfied that six-laning is not required for the project highway and four laning is sufficient for operating the project highway thereby restricting the concession period to 15 years pursuant to Clause 3.2.2 of the Concession Agreement dated October 09, 2009. GHVEPL has filed a response with NHAI on May 26, 2020, June 16, 2020, August 31, 2020 and October 19, 2020 seeking material on record on the basis of which NHAI has decided that six-laning is not required, since in terms of GHVEPL's assessment, six-laning shall be required considering the current traffic flow on the project highway. NHAI, however vide its letter dated June 24, 2020 and October 15, 2020 has stated that the contention of GHVEPL is unmerited and due reasons have been conveyed, even though no substantial information is provided on the basis of which such decision is taken. In this regard, GHVEPL has obtained a legal opinion from its Counsel handling NHAI matter in Honorable Delhi High Court which has opined that with the majority findings of the Arbitral Award in favour of GHVEPL, issuance of Notice dated May 08, 2020 and letter dated June 24, 2020 / October 15, 2020 by NHAI is in bad light and arbitrary.

Legal Counsel opined that NHAI being aware of the financial implications of the Notice dated May 08, 2020 trying to somehow avoid quantifying and making any payment of the claim to GHVEPL under Change in Law. The Counsel further opined that, NHAI after having failed in its series of coercive steps including the notices for recovery of alleged Premium, suspension notice and notices in relation to non-compliance of O & M requirements has, on May 08, 2020, issued the Notice under Article 3.2.2 of the Concession Agreement and that too in the middle of extensive arguments in the aforesaid petitions before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court, only to make GHVEPL to somehow give up its claims and avoid determination of claims.

GHVEPL on October 30, 2020 has issued Notice of Dispute under Article 44.2 read with Clause 44.1.2 of the Concession Agreement to NHAI for amicable settlement as a first step in dispute resolution, which has been declined by NHAI on December 04, 2020. Pursuant to the notice dated April 06, 2021, the Arbitrators have been appointed and the Arbitral Tribunal has held its first hearing setting procedural timelines for hearing the litigation.

The Hon'ble Tribunal vide interim order dated September 29, 2021 has stayed the letter and the matter is in process. NHAI subsequently has suggested resolving all the disputes through the process of conciliation and the matter was referred to Committee of Conciliation of Independent Experts (CCIE-III) constituted by NHAI on approval from GHVEPL.

The Committee has held two hearings, and in the hearing held on April 25, 2022, GHVEPL had given a proposal for amicable settlement to which the Committee granted one month's time to NHAI to discuss internally and inform the Committee of its decision, which has not reached any effective conclusion and hence discontinued. In view of the same, , the Arbitral Tribunal has been reconstituted. The arguments and submissions are completed before the Arbitral Tribunal and the matter is currently reserved for pronouncement of award.

The legal counsel has also opined that GHVEPL is in good position to assert for concession period of 25 years. Accordingly, considering the matter is sub-judice, concession life of 25 years with six laning has been considered for the purposes of the amortization of Intangibles considering the initiation of Arbitration Proceedings challenging the communication/notice by NHAI / Regulator restricting the period to 15 years with four-laning.

GHVEPL has been recognizing a provision of additional concession fees (premium) of H 1,627.82 crore including interest payable thereon till March 31, 2024 (March 31, 2023: H 1,291.57 crore), which is unpaid pending finality of litigation proceedings as detailed above.

Further, the valuation expert based on the assumptions that it would be receiving the compensation in the future and expected future traffic flow over a concession period of 25 years had determined value in use of GHVEPL assets as at March 31, 2024 (i.e. valuation date) which is higher than the carrying value of assets.

The management, based on its internal assessment, legal opinion, certain interim favourable orders and valuation assessment made by an external expert, is of the view that the carrying value of the aforesaid investment of the Company together with GMRHL in GHVEPL, taking into account the matters described above is appropriate and accordingly, no adjustments to the aforesaid balance have been made in the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.

There were certain amendments to the original arrangement between the Company, GEL and the PE investors. As per the latest amended Subscription and Shareholder Agreement executed in May 2016, preference shares held by the PE investors were converted into equity shares of GEL. Post conversion, the PE investors held 17.85% of equity shares in GEL with an exit option within the timelines as defined in the aforesaid amended agreement. As the said timelines have expired, the PE investors have sort for an exit without any further extensions and consequently, the Company has recognized the financial liability of H 205.28 crore (March 31, 2023: H 996.93 crore) in the standalone financial statements.

Out of the 17.85% additional stake 12.52% holding has been transferred to the Company as at March 31, 2024 (2.13% holding transferred to the Company as at March 31, 2023).

29 Income Tax

Business loss can be carried forward for a maximum period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year to which the loss pertains. Unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

On September 30, 2019, the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019 ('the Ordinance') was passed introducing section 115BAA of the IT Act which allowed domestic companies to opt for an alternative tax regime from financial year 2019-20 onwards. As per the regime, companies can opt to pay reduced income tax @22% (plus surcharge and cess) subject to foregoing of certain exemptions. Central Board of Direct taxes vide circular number 29/2019 clarified that companies opting for lower rates of taxes will not be allowed to carry forward minimum alternate tax (MAT) credit and also will not be allowed to offset brought forward losses on account of additional depreciation.

The Company has already opted for the aforementioned regime. Deferred tax is the effect of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.

30 Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit/ loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders (after adjusting for interest on the convertible securities) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.

(i) During the year ended March 31, 2016, GIL had issued FCCB (attributable to the Demerged Undertaking stands vested to the Company pursuant to the Demerger), however, the same has not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for period ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively because they are anti-dilutive. (also refer note 16(1))

31 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company's standalone financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

Significant judgements and estimates relating to the carrying values of assets and liabilities include fair value measurement of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, provision for employee benefits and other provisions, recoverability of deferred tax assets, commitments and contingencies and recognition of revenue on long term contracts.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Standalone Financial Statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

a. Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the same can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Refer note 10 and 29 for further disclosures.

b. Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. The cash flow projections used in these models are based on estimates and assumptions relating to conclusion of tariff rates, operational performance of the plants and coal mines, life extension plans, availability and market prices of gas, coal and other fuels, restructuring of loans etc in case of investments in entities in the energy business, estimation of vehicle traffic and rates and favourable outcomes of litigations etc. in the expressway business which are considered as reasonable by the management. Fair value of investment in SEZ sector is determined based on available data for similar immovable property/ investment or observable market prices less incremental cost for disposing of the immovable property/ investments. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility, as applicable. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer note 5 and 36 for further disclosures.

c. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal and contractual claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

In respect of financial guarantees provided by the Company to third parties, the Company considers that it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the guarantees provided. Refer note 34 for further disclosure.

d. Revenue recognition

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised good or service to a customer.

The Company uses the percentage of completion method in accounting for its fixed price contracts. Use of the percentage of completion method requires the Company to estimate the costs incurred till date as a proportion of the total cost to be incurred. Costs incurred have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship. Provision for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

e. Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 37.

a. The Company has provided securities by way of pledge of investments for loans taken by certain companies.

b. The Holding Company has pledged certain shares held in the Company as security towards the borrowings of the Company and related parties. (refer note 5)

c. Also refer note 5 on non-current investments and current investments.

d. Also refer note 16 for long term non-current borrowings and current borrowings as regards security given by related parties for loans availed by the Company.

e. As the liability for gratuity and leave encashment is provided on actuarial basis for the Company as a whole, the amount pertaining to the directors are not included.

f. In the opinion of the management, the transactions reported herein are on arm's length basis.

g. The amount of the outstanding balances as shown above are unsecured and will be settled in due course.

d) Increase/ decrease in net contract balances:

The movement in receivables and in contract assets is on account of invoicing and collection during the year.

e) Revenue recognised during the year from the performance obligation satisfied upto previous year (arising out of contract modifications) amounts to H 211.13 crore (March 2023: H 256.03 crore).

f) The company has received revenue from EPC contracts and other services majorly from customers domiciled in India. Further the Company has received 10% or more of its revenue from a single customer (refer note 32).

h) The Company has a process whereby periodically long term contracts are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under the law/accounting standards for the material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts has been made in the books of accounts amounting to H 2.77 crore ( as per audit report). Further, the Company does not have any derivative contracts at the end of the year.

i) The Company and SEW Infrastructure Limited had incorporated a Joint venture, GIL- SIL JV (the "JV") and entered into a contract with Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited ("DFCCIL") in 2015 for execution of design and construction of civil, structures and track works for double line railway involving formation in embankments/ cuttings, ballast on formation, track works, bridges, structures, buildings, yards, integration with existing railway system and testing and commissioning on design-build lump sum basis for Mughalsarai-New Karchana Station (including) of Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor Project (Contract

Package - 201) and New Karchana (excluding) - New Bhaupur Station (excluding) of Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor Project (Contract Package - 202) (hereinafter together referred as 'DFCC project') to the JV.

Subsequently the JV had sub-contracted significant portion of such contract to the Company. During the execution of the project, DFCCIL failed to fulfil its obligations in a timely manner and as a consequence of such non-fulfilment, the execution of DFCC project got significantly delayed. In view of the aforementioned delay, the JV sought extension as per Clause 8.4 of the General Conditions to the Contract and DFCCIL had granted such extensions from time to time.

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the JV had submitted its claim against DFCCIL for the period of delay i.e. from January 2019 to December 31, 2021, DFCCIL has rejected such claim citing the amendments made in the contract, while granting the extensions of time. JV has invoked the dispute resolution process and accordingly Dispute Adjudicating Board (DAB) is constituted.

As per directions of DAB, JV had submitted its Statement of Claim ('SoC') before DAB on May 22, 2023 for an amount of H 449.01 crore for Contract Package 202 and on June 09, 2023 for an amount of H 398.63 crore for Contract Package 201 respectively (excluding interest and GST) for cost incurred during the period from January 21, 2019 to September 30, 2022. Further, JV has reserved its right to claim further additional cost for the damages to be suffered during the period (i.e. September 30, 2022 till completion of the project) to be computed in the same manner as set out in the SoC.

DFCCIL has submitted its Statement of Defense ('SoD') and has also filed counter claims for both the Contract Packages.

As per the revised timelines set forth by DAB, both JV and DFCCIL has submitted their revised statement of defense and rejoinders. Presently , the arguments by both the parties before DAB are in progress.

Based on internal assessment and review of the technical and legal aspects by independent experts, the management of the JV and the Company recognized such claim in its books of account and basis back-to-back agreement with the JV, the Company has also included an incremental budgeted contract revenue of H 461.18 crore (out of total claim amount of H 1,826.46 crore) for determination of the revenue recognition in accordance with Ind AS 115 and has recognized in the current year ended March 31, 2024 and preceding year ended March 31, 2023.

The managment of the JV and the Company is confident of the favourable outcome of such claims and considers the unbilled revenue recognized amounting to H 454.25 crore for the aforesaid claims as fully recoverable.

II Contingent liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Company faces claims and assertions by various parties. The Company assesses such claims and assertions and monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis with the assistance of external legal counsel, wherever necessary. The Company records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters in its financial statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered possible, but not probable, the Company provides disclosure in the Standalone Financial Statements but does not record a liability in its accounts unless the loss becomes probable.

The indirect taxes under dispute against the Company primarily represent ongoing litigation related to the Service Tax matters. These claims are mainly on account of ineligible input tax credit, reverse tax charge liability tax, etc. These matters are pending before various indirect tax authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

The following is a description of claims and assertions where a potential loss is possible, but not probable. The Company believes that none of the contingencies described below would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Pursuant to Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement ('the scheme') as sanctioned by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Bench at Mumbai vide its order dated December 22, 2021, the Company is in the process of executing guarantee agreements with the lenders, giving effect to the transfer of guarantees from GIL to the Company as may be applicable.

1. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries had entered into a Framework agreement in favour of IDBI Bank Ltd (as the Lead Bank) wherein the Company had guaranteed the obligations of unsustainable debt of GMR Rajahmundry Energy Limited in form of Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) amounting to H 940.59 crore. Redemption of CRPS is due on March 31, 2035 for H 235.15 crore, March 31, 2036 for H 235.15 crore, March 31, 2037 for H 235.15 crore and March 31, 2038 for H 235.14 crore. Hence there is no immediate contingent liability on the Company.

2. This includes, certain corporate guarantees extended by GIL amounting to H 2,353.20 crore and outstanding balance H 1,777.95 crore (discounted value H 1,354.29 crore) [March 31, 2023 : H2,353.20 crore and outstanding balance H 1,910.08

crore (discounted value H 1,427.53 crore)] pertaining to the demerged undertaking which has been transferred to the Company pursuant to the Scheme. However, GIL has passed board resolutions/ executed undertakings with the Company pursuant to which it is in the process of executing guarantees wherein both, the Company and GIL shall jointly continue to remain liable for the aforementioned guarantees. This guarantee is not yet executed and the same is in further discussion with the lenders.

3. This includes, corporate guarantees jointly extended by GIL and the Company (sanctioned amount of H 50.00 crore and outstanding amount of H 30.00 crore) [ March 31, 2023 : H 2,092.20 crore (outstanding amount of H 1,569.10 crore)] in favour of lenders of its subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries.

The Company will update its provision, on receiving further clarity on the subject.

2. The Company has provided guarantee to Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited ('DFCCIL') on behalf of GIL SIL JV. The Company has agreed to settle the claims upto H 257.41 crore (March, 31 2023 ; H252.41 crore) of DFCCIL immediately on demand, irrespective of any dispute between GIL SIL JV and DFCCIL and to pay the claim amount to DFFCIL under the guarantee. The Company has agreed to be the principal obligor in respect of all payments due to DFCCIL.

36 Disclosures on Financial instruments

This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Company and provides additional information

on balance sheet items that contain financial instruments.

The details of significant accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2.2 (b) and 2.2 (n), to the standalone financial statements.

(a) Financial assets and liabilities

The following tables presents the carrying value and fair value of each category of financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023

(b) Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:

Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares, and mutual fund investments.

Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

(i) Short-term financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.

(ii) Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.

(iii) The fair values of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using a discounted cash flow model except in case of fair value of investment in SEZ sector which has determined based on available data for similar immovable property/ investment or observable market prices less incremental cost for disposing of the immovable property/ investments. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments. Based on the inputs provided by the management the independent external valuer performs the valuation of Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

(iv) There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

(v) Fair value of mutual funds is determined based on the net asset value of the funds.

(c) Financial risk management objectives and policies

In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management framework aims to:

(i) create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Company's business plan.

(ii) achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in 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 interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.

(a) Market risk- Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.

(ii) Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on the portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

(b) Market risk- Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's investing and financing activities. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes from operating activities is not material.

ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterpart's failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company has a policy of dealing only with credit worthy counter-parties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables/ unbilled revenue, loans receivables, investments in debt securities of group companies, balances with bank, bank deposits, derivatives and financial guarantees provided by the Company. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk except investment in preference shares/debentures made by the Company in its group companies and loans provided to its group companies. The credit risk in respect of such investments in preference shares/ debentures and loans are assessed on the basis of the fair value of the respective group companies determined based on their business plans. Also refer note 32 for the details of such instruments.

The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk was H 6,633.89 crore as at March 31, 2024 (March 31, 2023: H 6,608.87 crore ), being the total carrying value of investments, loans, trade receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits and other financial assets.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. The Company does not hold collateral as security. Further, the top 5 customers of the Company in the EPC segment contributes to more than 90% of the trade receivables during the year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Credit risk from balances with bank and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.

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 it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the guarantees provided.

iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. Furthermore, the Company has access to funds from debt markets through commercial paper programs, non-convertible debentures and other debt instruments. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and in mutual funds, which carry no or low market risk.

The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds on a regular basis. The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures, preference shares, sale of assets and strategic partnership with investors, etc.

The following table shows a maturity analysis of the anticipated cash flows (excluding interest obligations) for the Company's financial liabilities on an undiscounted basis, which therefore differ from both carrying value and fair value.

b) Defined benefit plan

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (based on last drawn basic) for each completed year of service.

The fund provides a capital guarantee of the balance accumulated and declares interest periodically that is credited to the fund account. Although we know that the fund manager invests the funds as per products approved by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India and investment guidelines as stipulated under section 101 of Income Tax Act, the exact asset mix is unknown and not publicly available. The Trust assets managed by the fund manager are highly liquid in nature and we do not expect any significant liquidity risks. The Trustees are responsible for the investment of the assets of the Trust as well as the day to day administration of the scheme.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the standalone statement of profit or loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the standalone balance sheet for gratuity benefit.

1. Plan assets are fully represented by balance with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

2. The expected return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors mainly the composition of the plan assets held, assessed risks of asset management, historical results of the return on plan assets and the Company's policy for plan asset management.

3. The estimates of future salary increase in compensation levels, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

4. As per Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) (modified) Ultimate

5. Plan Characteristics and Associated Risks:

The Gratuity scheme is a Defined Benefit Plan that provides for a lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at exit. The Plan design means the risks commonly affecting the liabilities and the financial results are expected to be:

a. Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

b. Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation

c. Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

38 Capital management

The Company's capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long term and short term goals of the Company.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan coupled with long term and short term strategic investment and expansion plans. The funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations and sale of certain assets, long term and short term bank borrowings and issue of non-convertible debt securities and strategic partnership with investors.

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, convertible preference shares and debentures, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital plus total debt. The Company's policy is to keep the gearing ratio at an optimum level to ensure that the debt related covenant are complied with .

42 The Company is in the process of conducting a transfer pricing study as required by the transfer pricing regulations under the IT Act ('Regulations') to determine whether the transactions entered during the year ended March 31, 2024, with the associated enterprises were undertaken at "arm's length price". The management confirms that all the transactions with associated enterprises are undertaken at negotiated prices on usual commercial terms and is confident that the aforesaid regulations will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

43 GMR Airports Infrastructure Limited (formerly GMR Infrastrcuture Limited) (the 'Demerged Company') had signed definitive share sale and purchase agreement ('SSPA') on September 24, 2020 which had been subsequently amended on March 31, 2021 for the sale of equity owned by its wholly owned subsidiary GMR SEZ & Port Holdings Limited ("GSPHL") of its entire 51% stake in Kakinada SEZ Limited ("KSEZ") to Aurobindo Realty and Infrastructure Private Limited ("ARIPL"). As part of the transfer of stake of KSEZ ("transaction"), the 74% equity stake of Kakinada Gateway Port Limited ("KGPL") held by KSEZ would also be transferred to ARIPL. The consideration for the aforementioned transaction comprised of H 1,692.03 crore upfront payment to be received on or before the closing date and H 1,027.18 crore to be received in next 2 to 3 years from the transaction date which is contingent upon achievement of certain agreed milestones primarily related to the sale of 2,500 acres of the land parcels by KSEZ at specified prices during the financial years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 basis the expectation of significant development Kakinada SEZ.

Based on assessment of the achievement of the aforementioned milestones by an independent property consultancy agency as at March 31, 2022, management had estimated the expected recoverable amount from such contingent consideration. Considering as at March 31, 2023, the aforementioned milestones have not been achieved, the management has reassessed the current situation and has provided for the balance consideration receivable amounting to H 313.21 crore during the year ended March 31,2023, which has been charged to Statement of Profit and Loss and disclosed under exceptional items.

44 The Code of Social Security, 2020 ("Code") relating to employee benefits during employment and post employment received Presidential assent in September 2020. Subsequently the Ministry of Labour and Employment had released the draft rules on the aforementioned code. However, the same is yet to be notified. The Company will evaluate the impact and make necessary adjustments to the financial statements in the period when the code will come into effect.

45 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has prescribed a new requirement for companies under the proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 inserted by the Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules 2021 requiring companies, which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account, shall use only such accounting software which has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in the books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.

The Company is using an accounting software for maintaining its books of account, which have a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the accounting software, except that the audit trail logs for direct changes in data at database level for accounting software used for maintaining all accounting records, is retained only for 7 days. The retention of edit logs for more than 7 days for the accounting software will require huge data space and accordingly, the Company has implemented additional control, wherein alerts generated through these logs are monitored at the Security operation Centre.

46 Operating segments are reported in such a manner which is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM'). As per the evaluation carried out by CODM, the Company has only one reportable business segment, viz., Engineering, Procurement and Construction ('EPC'). Accordingly, the amounts appearing in the standalone financial statements relate to the single business segment.

48. Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) had awarded an annuity based highway project to GMR Chennai Outer Ring Road Private Limited ('GCORR'). GOCRR had awarded EPC contract to Boyance Infrastructure Private Limited (BIPL) for the construction of highway project. Subsequently BIPL had sub-contracted significant portion of such contract to the Company. On May 30, 2015, BIPL and the Company entered into a novation agreement whereby all the right and obligation related to the execution of EPC contract lies with the Company. Due to various reason the project got delayed. Since the delay in completion of EPC Contract is due to factors which were attributable to GoTN and were beyond the control, time to time, GPUIL has raised claim to GCORR and in turn GCORR, has raised the claim on GoTN for an amount of H 675.00 crore plus interest. GoTN has disputed the amount claimed, hence GCORR has invoked Arbitration.

The Hon'ble Tribunal vide its order dated January 30, 2020, against a claim of H 675.00 crore have directed GoTN to pay H 340.97 crore within 3 months from the date of award failing which the same shall be payable with interest at 18% p.a. from the date of Award till date of realization. Time for payment by GoTN expires on April 30, 2020. GCORR had filed an application under section 34 of Arbitration Act, 1996, before Madras High Court restricting the challenge to non-grant of pendente lite interest as per contract.

GoTN has also challenged the award by filing an application under section 34 of Arbitration Act, 1996. The Ld. Single judge of Hon'ble Madras High Court, vide order dated November 17, 2021, has dismissed the challenge of Government of Tamil Nadu thereby upholding the Award in its entirety. The Ld. Single Judge has also partly upheld the challenge of GCORR by awarding pendent-lite interest at the rate of 9% p.a from the date of filing Statement of Claim till the date of Award and thereafter @ 18% p.a. as ordered by the Tribunal. Total amount (including interest) estimated to be received by virtue of the above order is H 597.00 crore approx.

GCORR has filed execution petition u/s 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 on January 05, 2022 before the Madras High Court for enforcement of Arbitral Award. Against the dismissal of appeal u/s 37 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 by Hon'ble Division Bench of Madras High Court vide order dated August 11, 2022, GoTN had filed Special Leave Petition. , The Hon'ble Supreme Court confirmed the Arbitral Award for an amount of H 340.97 crore plus interest @ 18% p.a., aggregating to H 510.47 crore (interest calculated upto November 02, 2022) and issued notice confining to the issue of Pendente Lite interest awarded by the Single Judge.

GCORR in the execution petition filed u/s 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 on January 05, 2022 , requested the Madras High Court for enforcement of the Award. GCORR also filed an application for directions to GoTN to deposit 100% of the amount confirmed by Hon'ble Supreme Court i.e. H 510.47 crore. Vide order dated November 08, 2022, the Hon'ble Madras High Court directed GoTN to deposit a sum of H510.47 crore with Registrar by February 20, 2023.
