TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP

71st Annual Report

2015-2016

A. M. Naik
Group Executive Chairman

Dear Shareholders,
The year 2015-16 saw the Indian economy charting
a measured course towards objectives set out by the
Government two years ago. While investment momentum
is still muted in some sectors, the positives to have emerged
are the incremental but important steps taken by the
Government in scal correction, ination containment,
subsidy reduction, efforts to reinvigorate tax administration
and a thrust on increased investment in key infrastructure
sectors. Private sector and industrial capex, however,
remains subdued on account of paucity of funds in the
private sector.
The global scenario offers less cause for cheer. The
world economy encountered challenges at many levels
last year. These include signicant volatility, Eurozone
instability, depression in crude oil and commodity prices,

currency depreciation in emerging markets, and a

lingering slowdown in China. Indias GDP growth - 7.6%
as compared to 7.2% in the previous year - and reduced
scal decit of 3.9% sends out encouraging signals for
the future.
I believe that the forthcoming year holds promise
of improvement as far as investment momentum is
concerned. The Governments focus on a slew of recent
initiatives places your company in a favourable position.
Our capabilities in high-tech design and manufacture are
unmatched in industry. This enables us to extend the
Make in India theme to the upper end of the
technological spectrum, as well as to the strategic
sectors of defence, nuclear power and aerospace. Our
three-decade long association with national defence
1

organisations ensures that we have the credentials to

partner with them in the design and manufacture of
defence equipment. We also possess in-house capabilities
to design, equip and build the habitats of the future Smart Cities.
Performance Overview
While new order acquisitions have been muted due to your
Companys focus on disciplined bidding on infrastructure
projects, the nancial performance, as a whole, has been
encouraging and has been lauded by Capital Markets.
Order Inows, which are the mainstay of your Companys
dominance in the project business, clocked in at 136,858
crores at the Group level, which represents a decline
of 12% over the corresponding inows of the Previous
Year. The muted inows were the outcome of increased
competitive price pressures in the power generation and
hydrocarbon sectors.

are also focusing on select countries in Africa and some

parts of South East Asia. We believe that the opportunity
basket that is likely to be provided to us in international
markets will still be sufciently large enough to enable
a healthy, geographically-diversied revenue mix. The
unexecuted Order Book from international markets stood
at over 70,000 crores, which translates to 28% of the
total Order Book. This largely comprises orders from diverse
infrastructure areas such as metro rail, power transmission
& distribution, road & expressways and hydrocarbon
sectors.
Going Digital at L&T
Larsen & Toubro is implementing solutions using digital
technologies to make quantum improvements in all key
areas of work. A major step in this direction has been the
setting up of a Digital Group which will ideate, initiate and
implement solutions to deliver results to the business.

The unexecuted Order Book stood at an all-time high of

249,949 crores and represents a 7% growth over the
Order Book at the end of the Previous Year. This robust
Order Book position provides your Company with multiyear forward visibility on Revenues and Margins. The
Company grew revenues in 2015-16 to 102,632 crores,
despite challenges faced in project execution in the form
of delayed clearances and tardy progress payments from
customers. This represents a 12% growth over revenues
in the Previous Year. Losses incurred on Hydrocarbon
projects in 2014-15 were largely avoided in 2015-16 and
Prots after Tax at the Group level grew to 5,091 crores
representing a growth of 7% over the corresponding Prot
in 2014-15.

The areas where solutions are being developed and

deployed are Tracking and Monitoring performance on
all equipment deployed at construction sites by installing
sensors and gateways; improving productivity and safety of
workmen through tracking and tagging; optimising logistics
and material consumption through GPS and RFID; project
monitoring & control through data and visuals captured
in real-time, and use of modern geospatial technologies
including LiDAR and UAVs for surveys.

It gives me pleasure to announce that your Company has

recommended a Dividend of 18.25 per equity share on a
face value of 2 per share for the year. The corresponding
dividend during the previous scal was at 16.25 per
equity share.

As technologies and business processes evolve, the group

will continue to develop breakthrough solutions and
evangelize the digital transformation.

Internationalisation
GCC countries, our staple international markets, are
experiencing scal stress due to low oil prices, and
opportunities in the hydrocarbon space have been
reduced. Core infrastructure such as power transmission
& distribution, hospitals, urban infrastructure, roads and
rail networks, however, continue to see investment and
these areas have yielded signicant order wins for us. We

Another key area is Analytics that will pull in the data

from all these initiatives into an Analytics engine to deliver
trends, actionable insights and forecast scenarios for
proactive and corrective action.

Talent Management
Your Company views its people as the cornerstone of
business and its Human Resources policy is geared towards
developing individuals along with the organisation. The
Company has a 7-step leadership development program
which aims to build a leadership pipeline at various levels of
management.
Sustainable Development
Your Company is committed to conserving natural

resources and enhancing social equity to achieve

sustainable progress, while creating value for stakeholders.
Signicant initiatives have been undertaken in the areas of
climate change and water conservation. Your Companys
sustainability performance in energy conservation and
carbon emission intensity reduction was showcased in the
UN - Paris Climate Change Summit 2015. The Companys
campuses in different parts of the country are focused on
becoming water-positive and zero wastewater discharge
units.
Your Companys CSR programmes focus on health,
education, skill development and water & sanitation
interventions to contribute to a better quality of life for
the needy.
The total spends on CSR initiatives in 2015-16 by your
Company amounted to 120 crores under eligible items as
dened in the Companies Act which translates to 2.36%
of the average annual net prots of the Company over the
last 3 years.
Outlook
The thrust given by the Government on core infrastructure
and Make in India initiatives continues to give us a healthy
basket of opportunities to tap. Increased allocations by
the Centre and States on infrastructure spending, higher
levels of outlay by cash-rich Public Sector enterprises and
signicant funding of infrastructure projects by
bi-lateral and multi-lateral lending agencies is propelling the
investment momentum forward. Several upcoming projects
provide us with a broad perspective of the opportunity
horizon opening up for us in 2016-17.
Segments that hold promise in FY17 include
1) Infrastructure:
a) Roads The new political dispensation at the helm
of affairs has kick-started investment in roads and
FY16 saw a signicant uptick in ordering of EPC
road contracts by the National Highways Authority
of India. We expect this impetus to continue and to
be augmented by investments in specialised bridges
and tunnels as well as highway orders in some
Middle East countries.
b) Railways In FY16, your Company continued to
build on its success in bagging orders for the
Dedicated Freight Corridor program currently being
piloted by the Indian Railways. The balance of

orders in this program are likely to be ordered out

in FY17 and your Company will participate in those
bids as well. Some Middle East countries are also
planning investments in conventional rail networks
and your Company will participate in those
programs as and when the opportunity arises.
c) Metro Rail Your Company has been successfully
executing Metro Rail projects in multiple cities over
the last few years. Urban development authorities
are increasingly viewing metro rail networks as the
ideal solution to urban trafc decongestion and
our assessment is that this area is likely to see
increased spending in FY17 and beyond, through
the launch of new projects in a number of cities
across the country. Execution of 2 large metro rail
projects won in Saudi Arabia and Qatar in FY14 is
progressing well.
d) Urban Infrastructure While private sector
investments in Urban Infra have seen lower
investments, particularly in residential real estate,
your Company continues to see a healthy pipeline
of prospects in affordable housing, hospitals, ofce
space for IT majors and facilities for educational
institutions.
e) Smart World and Communication
Larsen & Toubro has consistently aligned its
capabilities to national priorities. Presently, there
is a growing need for creating Digital India and
smarter, secure and intelligent solutions to enhance
quality of life. This has led to the rise of smart
cities, advanced security solutions and
communication infrastructure.
In response to this, L&T has integrated its range of
comprehensive offerings in this sector to set up a
dedicated Smart World & Communication business
vertical which offers end-to-end solutions as a
Master Systems Integrator in the areas of Security
Solutions, Communications Network and Telecom
Infrastructure and Smart Infrastructure. With
adequate data and superior analytics, these smart
world solutions will empower city leaders and
planners to make better, more informed decisions,
anticipate problems to resolve them proactively,
coordinate resources to operate more effectively
and efciently, thereby enhancing the overall quality
of life.

f) Water Infrastructure This area has seen relatively

poor investments over the last decade and such
under-investment in basic water management
resources is leading to seasonal water shortages
across the country. Recognising this critical need,
the Government has increased allocations in this
essential sector recently and your Company expects
to see a surge in revenues from the increased
spends. This will be augmented by the opening
up of fresh investment avenues in the allied
segments of Waste Water Management and Lift
Irrigation programs.

processing and associated pipeline networks in the

Middle East.
5) Defence Sector:
The current Government has made the most credible
effort so far, to indigenise the manufacture of defence
equipment. For L&T, with its long-standing association
with the Ministry of Defence, extensive R&D and
manufacturing muscle, this presents a major
opportunity. We are participating in several bids
for ships and artillery guns, among other programs.
Any order wins for naval vessels will help improve the
capacity utilisation at the Kattupalli Shipyard.

2) Thermal Power Generation:

This sector has been constrained with overcapacity in
the manufacturing of boilers and turbines, delayed
environmental clearances, dearth of fuel availability,
increased difculty in obtaining water linkages as well
as long-term funding. FY16, however, saw a number
of projects being ordered which your Company could
not win due to intense price competition. FY17 is likely
to witness ordering of projects aggregating around
8-10 GW and your Company is hopeful of garnering a
signicant share.

6) Heavy Engineering:
The domino effect of the fall in crude prices has led
to shrinking orders for oil & gas projects globally and
under-utilisation of manufacturing facilities for
hydrocarbon equipment. The integrated steel-making
& forging facility set up to meet the needs of the
hydrocarbon and nuclear power sectors has also been
negatively impacted. The Civil Liability for Nuclear
Damages Act has been a major roadblock and the
same is now being resolved with the formation of a
1,500 crore insurance pool, thus opening up
opportunities for establishing new nuclear power
plants in the near future, for which your Company is
well placed. This could spark a resurgence in nuclear
power investments which would augur well for your
Companys heavy engineering business.

3) Power Transmission & Distribution:

FY16 continued to see strong ordering by Central and
State power transmission utilities as well as by
countries in the Middle East. Your Company has
secured major orders in this sector and expects the
investment momentum to continue into FY17.
4) Hydrocarbon:
Low oil prices have dampened investments in oil
production facilities. Some Government enterprises,
however, continue to invest in oil production with a
view to bolstering Indias fuel security, offering
opportunities for your Company to leverage its EPC
capabilities.
With Indias commitment made in Paris on climate
change, investment in clean fuel projects is likely to
give opportunities to the Hydrocarbon business.
We are also eyeing opportunities in the domestic
fertiliser sector, as plants opt for capacity
augmentation. On the international front, your
Company is eyeing opportunities in gas production,

7) Metallurgical & Material Handling:

With global overcapacities in steel and a fall in
commodity prices, investment in the ferrous and
non-ferrous sectors in India has shrunk considerably.
This has adversely affected a business which is already
impacted by underutilisation.
Fortunately, the outlook is more positive. The green
shoots of recovery in the mining sector is expected to
provide a llip to the Material Handling segment. The
business expects to improve utilisation in 2016-17.
8) Electrical & Automation (E&A):
The Electrical & Automation business has registered
muted growth in 2015-16 due to sluggish demand
from the industrial, agriculture and building sectors.
The Companys array of best-in-class low-voltage and
medium-voltage products continues to provide a

competitive edge, enabling the company to make the

most of the expected revival of domestic demand.
During the year, your Company launched a series of
contemporary Final Distribution products in the
categories of MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), RCCBs
(Residual Current Circuit Breakers), Control Accessories
and Distribution Boards as well as a full programme
of Bus-bar trunking systems for modern buildings and
Intelligent Controllers for agricultural markets. With a
focus on operational excellence, the business expects
to continue delivering protable growth
9) Realty:
This business, which was launched by your Company
a few years ago, continues to contribute to revenues
and margins through delivery of superior quality
projects. Projects under execution in Mumbai and
Navi Mumbai are progressing well and a residential
housing project launched recently in Bangalore has
been received favourably by way of advance bookings.
The business is slated to shortly launch another project
in Chennai as well as the second phase of its project in
Powai, Mumbai. With a substantial land bank for
development in hand, this business is expected to
deliver steady and protable revenues over the next
few years.
10) Information Technology and Technology Services
(IT&TS):
The IT&TS business vertical continues to grow and
prosper and your Company intends to list these
businesses through Public Offerings in 2016-17. With
the focus on client mining and growth seen in multiple
verticals such as BFSI, Automotive, Aerospace,
Industrial Products and Process Engineering sectors,
the business is slated to register continued growth and
protability.
11) Financial Services:
This business, which was listed in 2011, continues to
grow and had a loan book of over 57,000 crores at
the end of FY16. The business is focusing on portfolio
rationalisation, right-sizing of manpower, and
improving the quality of assets in an effort to enhance
Return on Equity.

assets in the areas of roads, power generation &

transmission, and a metro rail. Most of these projects
are operational and as such, the infrastructure projects
portfolio is going through a major restructuring
exercise for the Company to continue its efforts to
become more asset light. The metro rail project in
Hyderabad, which is one of the largest
transit-oriented-development projects in the country,
is progressing satisfactorily and is likely to be fully
comissioned in FY19.
13) Strategic Plans:
Your Company has recently concluded deliberations
on the strategy for the next 5 years and has nalised
the contours of this plan. Highlights of this plan
include:
Focus on execution of the large Order Book in
hand, while selectively participating in new bids
Gearing up to tap emerging opportunities in the
Defence, Railways, Mining, Smart Cities and Digital
business
Consistently growing revenues over the plan period
Steady reduction of Net Working Capital levels
Exit from the General Insurance business
Monetisation of road, port and power assets within
the plan period
These steps are expected to result in improved Free Cash
Flows, Prot after Tax and Return on Equity.
In conclusion, I would like to thank my fellow Board
Members, L&T-ites, customers, vendors and other
stakeholders who have collectively enabled sustainable and
protable growth of the business.

Thank You

Corporate Social Responsibility

Education and skill development are the foundations upon which self-sufficient livelihoods are built.

Since the Companys inception, care

and concern for the underprivileged
communities has been a core
value at L&T. Reaching out to the
disadvantaged with a view to
positively impacting the quality
of their lives is a spontaneous
and natural process across L&Ts
establishments. Through our CSR
programmes, we contribute to the
nations developmental agenda as
well as align with the UN Social
Development Goals and address
the most pressing needs water,
14

sanitation, education, health and

skill development. For our CSR
programmes, the implementation
process is as critical as our goals
and their impact. We view our
beneciaries as partners on a journey
towards betterment. Developmental
plans are devised in consultation with
NGOs who understand their needs
best. Architects of their own future,
the disadvantaged are intensely
motivated to sustain our programmes
and ensure their success.
Life is a circle, and the joy we give

others is our gift to ourselves.

The Joy of Clean Water

Many villages in India have to
struggle for water and sanitation.
The unavailability of safe drinking
water leads to increasing morbidity
and mortality rates. It also
negatively impacts educational
attainments, migration and livelihood
opportunities.
Our Integrated Community

Development Programme has

been launched in three states,
to begin with, and focuses on
holistic development in water
and sanitation, education, health
and skill development, based on
need-assessment. We are working
towards enabling water-stressed rural
communities to be self-sufcient in
water for drinking, sanitation and
agriculture.

we have built check dams to ensure

water supply during the dry months.
Cultivating two crops a year instead
of one, the villagers now need not
migrate to cities for seasonal work.
By helping meet the basic need
for water and sanitation, we lay
the foundation for progress and
development.

In several of Maharashtras

Our initiatives in mother-and-child care, womens health and skill development help empower underprivileged women.

Teacher schools help children

improve their learning rates. We
support pre-schools, set up computer
laboratories, provide teaching aids
and uniforms and augment teacher
capacity.
We believe that education is best
imbibed when presented in ways
that spark interest. We, therefore,
infuse joy into learning in many
small ways. Our Science-on-Wheels

can be the core differential that

enables families to lead productive
and prosperous lives. Often,
economically backward communities
are further pushed into poverty due
to poor health and the rising costs of
medical care.
We have set up community
health centres at our facilities at
Ahmednagar, Chennai, Coimbatore,
Kansbahal, Mumbai, Surat and
Vadodara. They focus on reproductive
health, and conduct diagnostic and
clinical camps and programmes
that support maternal and child
healthcare, immunisation and health
education.

L&Ts HIV/AIDS management

initiatives include awareness camps
(particularly for high-risk groups),
Anti-Retroviral Therapy, counselling
and testing.
Articial kidney dialysis centres for
the underprivileged have been set up
at L&Ts Health Centres at Chennai,
Mumbai, Thane and Vadodara.
By putting smiles on the faces of
mothers and children, by preventing,
detecting and curing disease,
by educating people on matters
pertaining to health, we help
spread joy.

and help the nation to reap the

benets of the demographic dividend
of having a large young population,
L&T has set up vocational institutes
and has in place programmes
that impart skills in several trades
to enhance the employability of
underprivileged youth.
Our Construction Skills Training
Institutes at nine locations impart
free training to rural and urban youth
in basic construction trades. To
empower underprivileged women,
we organise vocational training
programmes in the areas of tailoring,
beautician skills, home nursing and
food processing. Trade in hand,
they are able to supplement their
family income as well as invest in
the education and health of their
families, especially the children.

Vocational training enables these

people to become self-sufcient,
elevates their social standing and lls
their lives with joy.

The Joy of L&T-eering

We are proud of our employees, our
L&Teers, who contribute resources
such as time and skills for the benet
of the underprivileged. All across our
facilities, we have been providing
employees with more and more
opportunities to volunteer and boost
employee engagement with a social
cause.
L&Teers dedicatedly teach English
and Maths to children at Community
Learning Centres and have been
mentoring them as well, encouraging
them to realise their potential

despite the odds. Short science lms

have been dubbed into regional
languages so that many more
children can access quality science
education. Educational trips and
creativity workshops organised by
L&Teers are both entertaining and
educational. Blood donations and
community health camps saw the
participation of many employees.
L&T-ites passionately supported
various causes through Marathons
and melas in which items made by
the underprivileged are displayed.
Volunteering activities help our
people to relate better to each
other as well as to the organisation,
and gives them a sense of deep
satisfaction.

PRINCIPLE 1: BUSINESSES
SHOULD CONDUCT AND
GOVERN THEMSELVES WITH
ETHICS, TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY
L&T is a professionally managed
Indian multinational, committed
to total customer satisfaction and
enhancing value for all stakeholders.
The Companys philosophy on
corporate governance is built on a
rich legacy of fair and transparent
governance and disclosure
practices. This includes respect for
human values, individual dignity
and adherence to honest, ethical
and professional conduct. Our
commitment to these values is
articulated through the Companys
Vision and policies, which are
extended to the operations of
all subsidiaries and associate
companies.
L&T-ites are guided by the Code of
Conduct (CoC), which is featured on
the Companys Intranet. Every new
employee is introduced to the CoC
through a detailed online module of
the Companys Any Time Learning
(ATL) System. The critical areas of
the CoC are also included in the HR
Orientation Training. In a unique
initiative, each individual employee
of the Company is required to
confirm his/her acceptance of
the Code of Conduct, Corporate
Governance policies and guidelines
in writing or online. This is a once
a year requirement, which creates
awareness on the CoC, policies
and guidelines, and encourages
employees to take responsibility for
their actions.

22

The Board members and senior

management complies with the
CoC. The Group Executive Chairman
makes an Annual Declaration to the
shareholders on compliance with
the Companys CoC by the senior
management.
The CoC Apex Committee,
constituted by the Executive
Management Committee (EMC) of
the Company, functions as the Apex
Body to interact, inform, advise
and coordinate with the EMC on
all issues relating to the CoC. It
consists of a minimum of five senior
members and is required to meet at
least twice a year. The Compliance
Officer acts as the Ex-Officio
Secretary of the Apex Committee.

The key function of the Committee

is to ensure implementation of the
CoC across the Company and deal
with instances of non-compliance,
apart from overseeing the
functioning of the unit-level CoC
Committees and advising the EMC.
Unit-level CoC Committees consist
of at least four members, headed
by the Unit Head, along with Head
of Accounts, Head of HR and a
senior member from Operations.
The Unit-level Committees are
required to meet at least once in a
quarter. The role of the Committee
is to create awareness of the CoC,
motivate employees to follow it,
monitor compliance and investigate
instances of non-compliance.

Codified policies publicly

affirm the organisations
commitment, govern
actions and provide clarity
of direction.

The Companys Whistle Blower

Policy encourages and enables
employees to report, without fear,
any wrongdoings or unethical
or improper practice which may
adversely impact the image and/
or the financials of the Company,

sustainability practices in the
supply chain is a key step towards
improving their environmental
and social performance. This year,
the Companys Heavy Engineering
business initiated a business-wide
environmental and social supplier
assessment programme.
The Company promotes recycling
and the use of alternative materials.
Our products are engineered to
order based on specific customer
requirements, limiting the scope
for material recycling. We utilise
alternative materials such as fly ash,
crushed sand and blast furnace
slag. Steel scrap, zinc waste, etc.,
are reclaimed as well. As a part of
our sustainability roadmap, we are
increasing recycling of products and
industrial waste at campuses and
project sites.

Our CSR Snapshot

Water & Sanitation
The unavailability of safe drinking
water results in increasing
morbidity and mortality rates. It
also negatively impacts educational
attainments, migration and
livelihood opportunities. For our
ICD programmes, locations for

interventions were identified as

water-stressed on the basis of water
availability, quality and uncertainty.
Further access to sanitation, health,
education, availability of drinking
water and Human Development
Index (HDI) were also taken into
consideration.
To begin with, districts and tehsils
were identified in the States of Tamil
Nadu, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
In these States, ICD Programmes
were launched. Replicable and
indigenous methods for augmenting
water supply are being adopted,
such as building check dams,
field bunds, and soil and water
conservation interventions. In
addition, through the Larsen &
Toubro Public Charitable Trust, we
have constructed 200 check dams,
which help in irrigation and ground
water recharge at Talasari Block near
Mumbai. The programme will also
enable the community to build and
utilise sanitation facilities.
Education
Our educational initiatives focus
on providing primary education,
developing infrastructure and
enhancing the learning experience
in the vicinity of our units across
India.
We enrich education in primary
schools through innovative learning
methodologies. We provide
infrastructure support to schools.
After-hours Single Teacher schools
help children improve their learning
levels. We support pre-schools, set
up computer laboratories, provide
teaching aids and uniforms and
augment teacher capacity.
Our Science-on-Wheels van
visits schools, giving children the
opportunity to experience the
hands-on experiments. Summer
camps and sports activities
help pupils develop social skills.
29

The social infrastructure we seek to build covers a wide spectrum - water, sanitation, education, health and skill development.

Extra-curricular outings help

widen childrens horizons. The
distribution of colorful school kits
is one more step in ensuring that
children have resources to study
at home. Employees volunteer
their time and talent to mentor
these children. Currently, the
Company is supporting over 250
schools across India and reaching
out to over 2 lakh underprivileged
children - in addition to undertaking
interventions in over 100 balwadis
and anganwadis.
Health
To help the economically weak
stay healthy despite the high cost
of healthcare, the Company has

an Independent Director, for the

Company.
Except Mr. Kumar, being the
appointee, none of the Directors
and Key Managerial Personnel of
the Company and their relatives
are concerned or interested, in the
resolution set out at Item No. 16.
Item No. 17:
The Company requires adequate
capital to meet the needs of
growing business. While it
is expected that the internal
generation of funds would partially
finance the need for capital and
debt raising would be another
source of funds, it is prudent for
the Company to have approvals
to raise a part of the funding
requirements for the said purposes
as well as for such other corporate
purposes as may be permitted
under applicable laws through the
issue of appropriate securities as

defined in the resolution, in Indian

or international markets.
The fund raising may be through
a mix of equity/equity-linked
instruments, as may be appropriate.
Members approval is sought
for the issue of equity shares,
securities linked to or convertible
into Equity Shares or depository
receipts of the Company. The SEBI
(Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015
also provide that the Company
shall, in the first instance, offer all
Securities for subscription pro-rata
to the Shareholders unless the
Shareholders in a General Meeting
decide otherwise. Members
approval is sought for issuing any
such instrument as the Company
may deem appropriate to parties
other than the existing shareholders.
Whilst no specific instrument has
been identified at this stage, in
the event the Company issues any
equity linked instrument, the issue
will be structured in a manner such
that the additional share capital that
may be issued would not be more
than 5% of the paid-up capital of
the Company (as at the date when
the Board recommended passing
of the Special Resolution). The
equity shares, if any, allotted on
issue, conversion of Securities shall
rank in all respects pari passu with
the existing Equity Shares of the
Company.
The Company may also opt for
issue of securities through Qualified
Institutions Placement (QIP). A
QIP of the shares of the Company
would be less time consuming and
more economical than other modes
of raising capital.
Accordingly, the Company may
issue securities by way of a QIP
in terms of Chapter VIII of the
Securities and Exchange Board of

India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure

Requirements) Regulations, 2009
(SEBI Regulations). These securities
will be allotted only to Qualified
Institutional Buyers (QIBs) as per the
SEBI Regulations and there will be
no issue to retail individual investors
and existing retail shareholders. The
resolution proposed is an enabling
resolution and the exact price,
proportion and timing of the issue
of the securities will be decided
by the Board based on an analysis
of the specific requirements after
necessary consultations. Therefore
the proposal seeks to confer upon
the Board the absolute discretion
to determine the terms of issue
in consultation with the Lead
Managers to the Issue.
As per Chapter VIII of the SEBI
Regulations, an issue of securities
on QIP basis shall be made at a
price not less than the average of
the weekly high and low of the
closing prices of the related shares
quoted on the stock exchange
during the two weeks preceding the
relevant date. The Board may, at
its absolute discretion, issue equity
shares at a discount of not more
than five percent or such other
discount as may be permitted under
applicable regulations to the floor
price as determined in terms of the
SEBI Regulations, subject to Section
53 of the Companies Act, 2013.
As the pricing of the offer cannot
be decided except at a later stage, it
is not possible to state the price of
shares to be issued.
However, the same would be in
accordance with the provisions
of the SEBI Regulations, the
Companies Act, 2013, or any other
guidelines/regulations/ consents as
may be applicable or required.
In case of issue of convertible
bonds and/or equity shares through
57

depository receipts the price will

be determined on the basis of the
current market price and other
relevant guidelines.
The relevant date for the above
purpose, shall be i)

ii)

in case of allotment of equity

shares, the date of Meeting
in which the Board decides to
open the proposed issue
in case of allotment of eligible
convertible securities, either the
date of the Meeting in which
the Board decides to open
the issue of such convertible
securities or the date on which
the holders of such convertible
securities become entitled to
apply for the equity shares,
as may be determined by the
Board.

The Stock Exchange for the same

purpose is the BSE Limited / National
Stock Exchange of India Limited.
The Shareholders through a
resolution passed at their Meeting
held on September 9, 2015, had
approved issue of Securities for
an aggregate sum up to US$600
Million or INR 3600 Crore, if
higher. However, Shareholders
resolution for QIP issuance is valid
for a period of 12 months from the
date of passing of the resolution.
Accordingly, the Shareholders
approval is sought for the same.
The Directors recommend this
Resolution for approval of the
Shareholders.
None of the Directors and Key
Managerial Personnel of the
Company and their relatives are
concerned or interested, in the
resolution set out at Item No. 17.
Item No. 18:

58

industrial goods, heavy engineering,

infrastructure projects and other
activities which require a sizeable
investment and continuous

including by way of issuance of debt
instruments.
Section 42 of the Companies
Act, 2013 read with Rule 14 of
the Companies (Prospectus and
Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014
deals with private placement of
securities by a company. Sub-rule
(2) of the said Rule 14 states that

debentures on private placement
basis, the Company shall obtain
prior approval of its shareholders

par or otherwise.

resolution passed at their Meeting
held on September 9, 2015,
approved issue of debentures upto
an amount not exceeding 6000
crore in aggregate. However, such
resolution is valid only for a period
of 12 months from the date on
which the approval is granted by
the shareholders. Accordingly, the
Shareholders approval is sought for
the period of next 12 months from
the date of passing this resolution.

resolution and authorizes the

Board of Directors of the Company
to offer or invite subscription for
non-convertible debentures, as may
be required by the Company, from
time to time for a year from the
date of passing this resolution.
The Directors recommend this

Company and their relatives are
concerned or interested, in the
resolution set out at Item No. 18.

and associate companies of those business divisions) and (c) leadership initiatives undertaken during the year.

Management Discussion and Analysis 2015-16

Overview of World Economy:

World economic output is
recovering at a slow pace with
the expectations of achieving sub
3% growth in calendar year 2016.
Though emerging economies from
Asia could continue to drive growth,
there is a potential downside risk in
terms of continued slow growth in
China, weak domestic consumption
in Japan, volatile currency
movements and sustained level of
low commodity prices. There is an
uncertainty over the future growth
prospects of commodity driven
economies like Brazil and Russia.
GCC countries are also facing fiscal
weakening from low crude oil
prices.
The world economy is witnessing
subdued corporate profits and
investments, sluggish exports
and manufacturing activities, and
lower commodity prices. Credit
growth is tepid and accommodative
policies adopted by central
bankers have not yet yielded the
desired outcome. Prevailing fragile
business sentiment is also adversely
impacted by geopolitical tensions,
protectionist policies adopted by
some of the countries and climate &
environmental concerns.
Overview of Indian Economy:
Amidst the low global growth
environment, the Indian economy
showed resilience and grew by
7.6% for the year 2015-16, driven
mainly by the service sector.
Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

sector, which employs more than

50% of labour force of the country
grew by 1.2%. Despite a muted
agricultural growth occasioned by
poor monsoons, Indias domestic
consumption remains strong on the
back of favorable demographics.
India has been a beneficiary of
low oil prices which has helped
to improve the Governments
fiscal position and has improved
the profitability of PSU oil & gas
marketing companies. Decline in the
oil prices also underpinned lower
Inflation by offsetting higher food
inflation caused by poor monsoon
in the previous year. Consequently,
RBI has reduced interest rates by
75 basis points during 2015-16
as compared to 50 basis points in
2014-15. The INR has depreciated
against the US Dollar by around
6.5% (from a level of 62 to a level
of 66) during 2015-16. FII flows
were net negative in Debt & Equity
markets in 2015-16 echoing the
anticipation of interest rate hikes
by the US Fed. Chinas currency
devaluation stance added to
weakness of the INR.
The fall in commodity prices has
also had a negative impact on the
Indian economy in terms of reduced
profitability of metal and mining
companies leading to financial
stress of several businesses. This
has resulted in a curtailment of
fresh capital investments and
some defaults in servicing debt
obligations.

Capital investment spending in

India has been muted. There is a
strong intent from the Government
to push investments and growth.
However, policy implementation is
progressing at a measured pace.
2016-17 appears more promising
mainly due to the expectations
of a good monsoon and revival
of the investment cycle led by
favorable government policies such
as increased budgetary allocations
on infrastructure projects, pushing
investment through cash rich
PSUs, thrust on Make In India,
increased drive on building a strong
domestic manufacturing base for
Defence equipment, emphasis on
increasing investments in nuclear
power, initiatives to revive weak
state power distribution utilities
through the UDAY scheme, focus
on build out of Smart Cities, Power
for All programs and robust plans
to increase investments in metro
rails and roads. It is also expected
that the GST Bill will be passed in
parliament in 2016-17.
Business Scenario:
The Company sees good prospects
in the domestic economy with
the thrust on infrastructure
development. The Company
has invested in building up the
capacities over the years and
has also mapped the emerging
opportunities with the internal
capabilities. Increase in the pace of
implementation of various initiatives
by the government and revival
of the investment cycle would be

135

conducive for achieving the growth

aspirations of the Company.
The Company has identified key
focus areas and strategic initiatives
to make the most out of the
upcoming opportunities. Major
thrust areas are enumerated below:
Key performance themes and
focus areas for 2016-17.
Cost competitiveness through
operational efficiency:
The Company is analysing all
the aspects of its operations
to improve efficiency and
competitiveness on an ongoing
basis. Operational Excellence
programs are underway for
identified areas of cost reduction
and productivity improvements
without compromising on
quality of products and services.
Employees and subcontractors
play a very vital role in Companys
endeavor on performance

136

improvements and are well

sensitised, motivated and
connected through a collaborative
approach.
Working capital reduction:
Working capital requirements
have been on the rise given the
tight liquidity position and tepid
business environment. Special
efforts are being taken to release
cash blocked in working capital.
The aim is to make each project
cash positive and self-funded
during the execution cycle. The
focus will be on faster collections
from the customers.
Maximise benefits to the
stakeholders through
business value unlocking:
The Company has invested in
building capacities in nuclear
power forgings, shipbuilding as
well as in some business segments
having longer gestation periods
such as power plants, ports and
roads concessions. It also has

created a significant scale in

service businesses in the areas of
financial services and information
technology. All these businesses
have a potential to generate
promising returns as the growth
cycle of Indian economy picks
up. The company is continuously
exploring opportunities to unlock
value from these businesses
to maximise returns to its
stakeholders.
Project execution within
time schedule and costs: The
Company has a large order book
of close to 2500 billion to
be executed over the next few
years. On-going projects are led
by proficient project managers,
project directors and sponsors,
ensuring timely project execution
within targeted costs. Improved
monitoring of projects under
execution for achieving profitable
growth is one of the major thrust
areas.

Infrastructure Business

Terminal 2, Mumbai International Airport - an iconic structure which integrates world-class design, architecture and operational efficiency. L&T has built several
airports in India and in the Middle East.

Infrastructure Business Scenario

- India:
The Indian E&C sector continues to
remain highly pro-cyclical. On an
aggregate level, some improvements
have been witnessed after many
quarters of stagnant or negative
growth however, interest cost
remains high. Government-led
CAPEX has just started to pick
up through disbursement of new
orders. The construction industry
appears to be at the far end of

the recovery curve with delays for

Government investments to trickle
down as revenue.

Going forward, there is a strong

possibility of the CAPEX cycle
recovering within 2-3 quarters.

Competitive Landscape: Many

companies have resorted to the sale
of assets to tide over debt obligations.
Overall, the industry CAPEX upturn
continued to be elusive, given the
existing overcapacity and inability to
invest further. Overall competition
among existing players has become
more intensive.

Companies with strong balance

sheet and execution capabilities are
likely to sail through the current
scenario.
Middle East:
Middle East economies are
posting lower growth figures. The
sustained low and falling oil prices
137

have affected their economies

adversely and continue to pose
a challenging scenario. Almost
all GCC countries are resorting
to fiscal consolidation measures,
trying to diversify the economy
and increase their revenue streams.
With oil fiscal breakeven point for
balance budget for GCC countries
like Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE
hovering around $90~$100/bbl,
and Qatar and Kuwait between
$50~ $55/bbl, most of the Middle
East countries are raising debt from
domestic and international sources
while preserving their currency peg.
Geopolitical uncertainties continue
to be the worry spot. However,
most of the GCC players including
Qatar, UAE, and Oman continue
to pursue long term infrastructure
development programs which
augers well for the construction
industry.

DLF Mall of India, near Delhi.

Global:
Current trend shows that the
global Construction Industry could
continue to perform modestly. There
have been marked cancellations
of a number of projects in the
Middle East owing to lower oil
revenues. Global contractors are
focusing outside home markets
and consequently flocking to select
growth markets, resulting in fierce

138

competition. MENA order awards

have seen only a moderate pick-up
during Q1 of calendar 2016 Y-o-Y
and some sluggishness remains.
Impact of Digital technologies:
Digital technologies have the
potential to create new business
models, dramatically alter
business processes and improve
operations. While this has been
demonstrated and visible in
many consumer facing sectors,
the opportunities in construction
projects and manufacturing are also
significant.
L&T proposes to implement digital
technology solutions to make
significant improvements in the
key areas of work. The Digital
Group has been formed which
will extensively focus on conceiving,
initiating and implementing
digital solutions to facilitate
desired business results. Digital
solutions are being developed
for better project monitoring and
controls by installing sensors and
gateways on all the equipment
deployed at project sites for
tracking and monitoring the
performance. Other major areas
where digital solutions would be
implemented are improvement in
workmen productivity and safety
through tagging and tracking,
use of GPS and RFID for tracking
to optimise logistics and material
consumption, capturing of
real-time data and visuals from
the project sites through the use
of mobile application and modern
geospatial technologies including
LiDAR & UAVs for surveys, analysis
of data pulled in from all the
initiatives into digital engine to
deliver trend, actionable insights
and forecast scenarios. The

Group will continue to develop

breakthrough solutions for
business transformation with the
evolving technologies and business
processes.

BUILDINGS AND
FACTORIES
Overview:
L&Ts Buildings & Factories (B&F)
is a business vertical that has the
requisite expertise to undertake
Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) of airports, IT
parks, office buildings, institutional
spaces, hospitals, stadiums, hotels,
elite residential buildings, high rise
structures, mass housing complexes,
factory structures, cement plants
and industrial warehouses. The
business is pioneer in offering Total
engineering solutions right from
concept to commissioning across all
the business lines cited above.
The competitive advantages of
the business include dedicated
engineering design centres,
competency cells, advanced
formwork systems, mechanised
project execution, wide network of
consultants and vendors, digitised
project control and a talented pool
of employees.
Business Environment:
Year 2015-16 continued to be
challenging for the construction
industry. Many of the customers
of the business deferred their
investment plans due to the liquidity
crunch and low demand in the
realty sector. In the international
arena, the dip in crude oil prices
had a major impact on investments
in GCC region. The slowdown in
China due to excess inventory has

Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
Four projects secured awards from
the British Safety Council. Ten
projects secured awards from the
National Safety Council, India.
Two projects secured awards from
the Indian Concrete Institute. Two
projects secured the Construction

impacted the manufacturing sector

in India. Initiatives like Make in
India and Housing for All have led
to major investment plans. However,
the pace of development has been
far from satisfactory.
Against all odds, Buildings
& Factories has registered a
steady growth and has continued
to maintain its leadership position
in the industry and have also
expanded footprint in the Middle
East to diversify the business
portfolio.
Significant Initiatives:
The business implemented
operational excellence initiatives
across all levels to enhance
profitability, like the introduction
of value engineering techniques
to cut down costs and improve
productivity. Project cycle times
were brought down by embracing
technology and mechanised
execution. The organisation was
strengthened to improve the
operational efficiency.
Safety is imbibed as a way of
life and implemented across all
projects to educate and sensitise

all stakeholders on hazardous

project activities and corresponding
preventive measures. A safety
innovation school was set up to
impart the EHS related training. This
school is the first-of-its-kind by any
construction company in India.
A team of experts has been formed
to study futuristic businesses and
formulate suitable strategies for a
competitive edge.
The projects executed by the
business continued to bag various
awards and recognitions during
2015-16. Four projects secured

Major Orders Secured and Under

Execution:
The business has secured prestigious
projects in almost all their business
lines like IT parks, office buildings,
residential, factories, etc.
Leadership has been maintained
in the construction of IT parks
and office spaces in the country.
Major projects were secured in the
northern and southern parts of
India.
Major orders were secured from
its esteemed customers for the
construction of elite high rise
residential towers in western and
southern India.
Some of the key projects
commissioned by the business

Cognizant Technology Solutions, Chennai.

139

this year are IT facilities and

campuses for IT companies,
international airports at Chandigarh
and Cochin, hospitals and medical
colleges for ESIC, NMC and the
Government of West Bengal, high
rise residential towers in various
parts of the country and cement
plants for Orient and Wonder
Cement.
Outlook:
The GoI has a deep focus
towards improving the countrys
infrastructure and has taken some
good measures for improving the
countrys economy. The business
is upbeat on this scenario and
well positioned to capture the
momentum. A few positive factors
are as follows:
The realty sector will stimulate
growth in view of easing out of
interest rates, relaxation in FDI
norms and revival of investor
sentiments.
Housing for all coupled with
rapid urbanisation and a rising
middle class will drive demand for
affordable houses.
The Make in India initiative
is expected to bolster the
manufacturing industry.
Rising healthcare quality and
awareness are expected to
generate more investments.
Strong IT & BPO industry growth
will drive commercial space
requirements.
In the international arena, though
falling oil prices may have some
impact on the Middle East economy,
the business is hopeful that
infrastructure spending will continue

for stadiums, metro systems and

healthcare related projects.
The business is poised for sustained
growth in the forthcoming years
against the backdrop of a reviving
economy, an improving business
climate, a healthy order book, a
wide customer network, a strong
organisational setup, an efficient
supply chain management, requisite
resources and a skilled workforce.
Larsen & Toubro Oman LLC (LTO):
Subsidiary Company
LTO, set up in collaboration with
Zubair Corporation LLC, has been
providing engineering, construction
and contracting services for nearly
a decade in the Sultanate of Oman.
The Company has an excellent track
record in civil projects and continues
to enjoy customer preference in the
country. L&T, through its whollyowned subsidiary L&T International
FZE, holds a 65% stake in the
Company.
Against stiff competition from
international players, LTO
successfully secured a major airport
project.

The Oil price impact has limited

the investment plans in the
country. LTO is witnessing limited
business prospects in segments like
hospitals and commercial buildings.
However, considering companys
past performance, it is confident of
maintaining the business portfolio in
the region.

Cell gives the business an edge over
its competitors and help it serve the
customers needs from concept to
commissioning.

infrastructure industry did not show

robust growth due to decline in oil
prices. Moreover, GCC is promoting
participation of the private sector
via PPPs to compensate for the
deficit. Bhutan and Bangladesh have
proved promising for the Hydro
Power and Special Bridge segments.

L&Ts construction expertise has been offered for the elevated and underground sections of
the Chennai Metro, including ballastless track work and a massive depot.

Business Environment:
The current year witnessed a mixed
performance by the business.
Revenue and order book remained
strong regardless of a low-spirited
market. Margins have improved
overall, driven by strong cost
cutting, restructuring and efficiency
improvement initiatives.
Despite the GoIs attempts to boost
growth through several measures
in the infrastructure segment,
there was a slump faced primarily
due to distressed demand from
the infrastructure sector. However,
major orders materialised in the
third and fourth quarter with the
GoIs boost on foreign funding.
The business increased its market
share in both the Metros and Special
Bridges segments. The business
grew faster than its competitors
in the sector. A major order from
the Bihar State Road Development
Corporation Limited (BSRDCL) for
the Design & Construction of a
Greenfield Six-Lane extra-dosed
cable bridge over the river Ganga
near Kachchi Dargah (Bihar) was a
crowning achievement.

One of the goals of the business

as part of the new medium term
business plan is to revitalise
and reinforce core construction
operations. Being adaptable
to meet market shifts, the
business has established a sound
construction work system to raise
productivity levels. The business
plans to leverage the development
of an automated system in the
construction sector. This will
reinforce the competitive advantage
of the business and expand the
portfolio.
In the International market more
particularly in the Middle East the

Tunnel-boring on the Doha Metro.

Metro Rail and Defence Sectors:

Metro rail projects in India are
booming rapidly, especially in Tier
2 cities, but the environment is
becoming more challenging due to
commoditisation of the elevated
metro projects. This has influenced
the strategic outlook towards the
business resulting in enhanced
focus towards underground metro
projects.
The Chennai Elevated Metro, the
Delhi Badarpur to Faridabad
Corridor and the Hyderabad Metro
Stage 2 have been successfully
handed over.
Riyadh and Doha Metro projects
which are being operated with
a JV structure are progressing
reasonably.
The Indian Defence industry is a
strategically important sector. The
current profile of infrastructure

suggests the Government needs
to make serious efforts towards
upgrading defence resources, by
the modernisation, upgradation and
maintenance of the existing setup
and that has helped the business to
see immense opportunities. With
massive investments planned by the
Ministry of Defence, opportunities
are abundant and the business
is well placed and well equipped
to offer turnkey design and build
proposals for the entire Defence
sector. The business has recently
bagged an order for a project to
resurface and extend the Air force
runway at Hyderabad.

There have been developments

on the tie-ups of the business
with global players since Indias
nuclear power agency has cleared
a long-delayed nuclear policy for
reactors, marking a significant leap
in the countrys ambitious plans
to become one of the worlds top
nuclear power generators.

opportunities pertaining to
construction of barrages are
expected in Telangana. A conducive
working environment is available at
Bhutan where existing projects are
progressing well. In Nepal, public
sector undertakings and private
players are showing interest for the
development of Hydro Projects.

The bridge over the river Ganga in

Patna, Bihar, once constructed, will
be the longest extra-dosed bridge
in India. The business has entered
the international market by winning
the contract for the construction
of the Rupsha Bridge in Khulna,
Bangladesh.

Tunnels: The GoI is focusing on

developing strategic and all weather
tunnels. Opportunities may also
arise for Underground Storage
Caverns for crude oil storage and
Under Sea Tunnels. Opportunities
also exist in the Middle East region
but low oil prices may delay these
projects.

Nuclear and Special Bridges:

India is fast-tracking its shift
towards nuclear power. The
Government of India has planned to
source 25 percent of its electricity
from nuclear reactors by 2050. The
nuclear business of the company
has seen some potential orders
- IGCAR for the construction of a
Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Facility at
Kalpakkam.

In the coming years, this segment

is poised for further growth. Many
bridge projects are expected across
India.
Hydel, Ports & Tunnels sector:
Hydel: Domestic Hydro projects
are stuck at various levels due
to pending clearances and
local protests. However, some

The majestic 9.76-km Kachi Dargah Bridge across the mighty Ganga
in Bihar will be Indias longest extradosed bridge.

Ports: The GoI has launched the

Sagar Mala Project initiative and
is focusing on the upgradation
and development of new ports.
Opportunities are expected for
Marine Infrastructure projects
involving Dry-docks, Marine intake
structures and Defence Naval Base
projects as well.

Significant Initiatives
During the year, IC has taken several
initiatives to improve operational
efficiency as a prime focus as under:
Engineering Design and
Research Centre: On the
Engineering front, the business
undertook key initiatives towards
digitisation, automation and
adoption of modular techniques for
construction. Building Information
Modelling (BIM) and design
automation are being implemented
across business segments to
provide optimal solutions. Modular
construction techniques were
successfully implemented in Nuclear
Power Plant construction resulting
in significant time optimisation.
Risk Management: The business
emphasises on achieving the
corporate strategic objectives by
following best practices in Risk
Management.
A paradigm shift has occurred in
the way the business views risk
management and the trend has
moved towards a holistic view of
risk management. The business

has developed an efficient Conflict

Management System which
expedites resolution of issues
with clients. The business has also
initiated an analysis of mitigated
activities depending on project
specifics and disputes. The business
believes in the re-evaluation of
the project status when significant
changes occur (scope, delivery
method and schedule).
Environment Health & Safety
(EHS): Striving to achieve a goal
of zero harm, the business has
launched the Corporate EHS
Strategic Plan 2015-16 with
key EHS deliverables that have
been implemented across all its
operations. As part of the EHS
Strategy, the following significant
initiatives were taken up during
2015-16:
Successful recertification of EHS
Integrated Management Systems
conforming to international
standards: OHSAS 18001 & ISO
14001.
Key EHS training initiatives
include IOSH Managing Safely

EHS Risk Management is

an integral part of the EHS
management system and the
business has revamped the
IMS procedure and introduced
monthly EHS Risk Management
audits to facilitate and monitor
implementation across all its
projects.
Precast elements lifting strategy
was launched with inputs
from all stakeholders and
training workshops were held
at relevant projects to facilitate
implementation.
Many EHS awards and honours
are received at different levels
and categories from national
and internationally renowned
organisations.
Workmen Management Centre:
During 2015-16, the business
trained 8045 subcontractors
workmen at various sites through
On Job Training (OJT) programs
on form work, bar bending and
masonry by experienced trainers to
enhance their skill level for speedy
and effective execution of jobs while
emphasising on safety, quality and
productivity.
Quality Department: The business
aims for excellence in quality,
increasing the satisfaction of
customers and other stakeholders
through effective goal deployment,
cost reduction and process
improvements.

143

The business has started the Quality

Management System transition to
ISO 9001: 2015, which allows the
implementation of best practices
in the industry. Monthly direct
customer feedback on product
quality from projects has been its
praxis.
A new product of polycarbonatebased admixture for water
conservation in concreting, in-house
resistance heating techniques for
preheating of pipe joints of massive
sizes and the use of semiautomatic
welding processes in nuclear
projects such as GMAW (Gas Metal
Arc Welding) were added into its
standard practices.
Training is a necessary parameter
for growth and the business has
prioritised the training of its staff on
the latest QMS. Also, the setting up
of an in-house facility for welders
qualification instead of testing
by external providers has been
initiated.
People Power: Growth in
operations is helping the business
to grow people internally and
moving towards a role-based
organisation. All talent investments
are focused on increasing
productivity, efficiencies, building
a robust leadership pipeline and
an orientation towards mega
projects. The Frontline Supervisor
Trainees program has taken root
and continues to add value to the
business.
The Organisation Transformation
initiative through OD Labs continues
and till date, the business has
covered around 500 employees.
The business has also started
the Institution-building initiative
THIRD-i, which aims to build a
144

future-ready business. 65 employees

have been identified as part of
the leadership building initiative
for tackling mega projects. Year
2016-17 will be the Year of the
People with special focus on
engagement and building the
leadership pipeline.
Outlook
The international market has
truncated, particularly in the Middle
East, which continues to face its
adverse impact because of declining
oil prices. Unless the GCC countries
revamp their business strategies,
the construction sector might do a
volte-face on its growth plan.
On the domestic front, the Union
Budget 2016 indicated a positive
outlook towards the Infrastructure
sector. The budget included the
formation of a National Investment
and Infrastructure Fund with an
annual allocation of USD 3.25 bn.
The Indian nuclear market has
picked up pace both in the
implementation of Indigenous
PHWR and imported LWR
programs. The special bridges
market continues to boom. Good
business prospects are seen in

the Western and Eastern parts

of India. The elevated metros
market has become commoditised.
Though the business sees ample
opportunities in Tier-II cities, its
participation will be very selective
on large size orders. Underground
Metros will be the main playing
field of the business. The thrust
of the Government of India on
Defence spending continues
and there is an expectation that
prospects will materialise. The
prospects of hydropower market
on the domestic front continues to
be bleak with growing concerns
of environmental issues, land
acquisition problems and local
agitations. The underground space
is going to be the key market for
the business in the years to come.
The business expects increased
domestic investments for All
Weather Tunnels.
The business is focusing on
increased diversity in man power.
Diversity is the key to increased
involvement, commitment, and a
better understanding of the needs
of clients and society.
The business is confident of
achieving the revenue targets for

2016-17 backed by a strong order

book. The business is resilient on
efficiency and cost control which
remain key drivers of profit and
performance.

Significant Initiatives:
The thrust on operational excellence
continued through digitalisation
of equipment for quality
improvement, timely completion,
cost optimisation, efficient resource
utilisation and enhancement of
safety measures by adopting
improved engineering models like

Metro electrification & signaling project.

Inclinometers, Compactometers,
GPS system and LIDAR surveys etc.
On the international front, the
business is exploring new markets
such as East Africa and Kuwait
through business tie-ups with
local partners. Special focus is
being given to the selection of
international consortium partners to
be pre-qualified for mega projects in
the GCC countries. Various strategic
initiatives have been undertaken
in the international business to
strengthen procurement, asset
management & cost control teams
to provide immediate onshore
support to projects.
Outlook:
With signs of a recovery in the
Roads sector, new projects are being
awarded. On the domestic front, the
prospects for pipeline looks bright.
The Government has given a thrust
to accelerate the development
of infrastructure. Lower oil prices
have fulled the growth of the
domestic market. The rate of road
construction has been targeted to
increase from the current rate of

17 Km per day currently to 40 Km

per day and the Government has
plans of awarding 1,00,000 Km of
National Highways which is a 20%
rise over last year.
The Ministry of Road Transport &
Highways has taken up a detailed
review to improve road connectivity
to coastal / border areas, backward
areas, religious places and tourist
places under Bharat Mala program.
In addition, there are Connectivity
Improvement Programs for CharDham (Kedarnath, Badrinath,
Yamunothri and Gangothri in
Uttarakhand). Prospects of Navi
Mumbai, MoPA Goa and Dholera
are also on the horizon.
In the Railway Budget, the capital
expenditure for 2016-17 has been
pegged at 1.21 Lakh crore.
The Railway Budget has announced
fast tracking of projects like track
laying (new/doubling/tripling
projects), Railway Electrification
projects, gauge conversion, last
miles connectivity projects and
emphasis on decongesting existing
routes mainly targeting port
connectivity. Commissioning of the
2,600 Km of Broad Gauge track and
2,000 Km of Railway Electrification
is also proposed in 2016-17. Three
more new freight corridors (North
South, East West and East coast)
totalling about 5,700 Km with an
estimated value of 2.7 Lakh crore
have been proposed in the Railway
Budget.
Metro Rail Projects in Tier 2
cities and high speed railway
lines between Ahmedabad and
Mumbai will provide more business
opportunities for this segment.

On the International front, drop

in oil prices has affected the
construction business. However, it is
expected that Qatar and Kuwait will
continue to invest in infrastructure
development and GCC will invest
in rail infrastructure such as long
distance rail projects.

Business Environment:
In 2015-16, the distribution sector
in India maintained the momentum
it gained during the past two years
backed by several governmental
initiatives. Supported by central
funding agencies, state utilities have
laid emphasis on strengthening their
respective distribution networks for
better efficiency, accountability and
management. The business did well
to capitalise on these opportunities
and was successful in maintaining
its leadership position.
The EHV substation related
opportunities in 400kV & 765kV
GIS/AIS segments were steady as
central and select state utilities were
concentrating on Power System
Strengthening Schemes to meet
their demands. Though there were
positive signs on the policy front,
the general lack of investments in
conventional power generation and
industry segments continued.
The interest shown by major
players in transmission corridors
awarded through the Tariff based
Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process
marks the advent of changing
clientele from utility-based to
investor-based. State Utilities are
increasingly concentrating on
strengthening the transmission
network aided by funding from
multilateral agencies.
Transmission line projects have
been executed for the Central
Transmission Utilities like PGCIL,
NHPC, etc. and for various State
Transmission Utilities like those in
Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West
Bengal, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, etc.
The business has dedicated and

across the country.

Sub-Saharan region, with the

business establishing its presence in
Algeria, Kenya, Malawi and Ethiopia
and selectively pursuing identified
focus countries.

In the Middle East, though the

macro economic and political
scenarios were mixed during
2015-16, the business witnessed
significant investments aided by
FIFA 2022 related investments in
Qatar, Expo 2020 related plans in
UAE and stable T&D investment
plans by Kuwait and Oman. Key
focus on Saudi Arabia has resulted
in substantial growth for its T&D
business as its central power
utility has gone ahead with its
vast expansion plans so as to meet
its demand forecast. Spend cuts
induced by the oil price drop and
continuing unrest in neighbouring
regions caused a sense of anxiety in
the business climate. However, the
business secured 51 substations,
633 Km of overhead lines and
624 Km of cabling projects in the
year.

The efforts by the business in

the ASEAN market for T&D
business yielded results providing
breakthrough orders in Malaysia
and Thailand. The ASEAN market is
steadily opening up opportunities
for the business with new power
generation and evacuation schemes
to meet the electricity demands in
the region.

The African market has started

opening up in northern and

The large scale investments made

in improving the T&D network in
Odisha providing opportunities
for major orders for the domestic
segment of the business. It could
secure several packages in different
phases of the Odisha Distribution
System strengthening project
related works. The urban and rural
electrification orders from Uttar
Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha
under the erstwhile Restructured
Accelerated Power Development
and Reforms Program (RAPDRP) and
Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran

Yojna (RGGVY) schemes too are

noteworthy. Apart from securing
the 765kV Aligarh GIS order, the
business also secured a STATCOM
order which is a breakthrough
project in terms of technology.
In the Transmission Line business,
major orders have been secured
from the private sector in
Chattisgarh and Telangana regions.
Another major order from KPTCL
for the 400kV D/C Quad line in the
Bellary region also involves design
and testing of towers. An order has
been secured from the Tamil Nadu
Transmission Corporation Limited
(TANTRANSCO) for a 107Km long
400kV D/C Quad line from Kamudhi
to Karaikudi. The Kanchipuram
Testing centre has been booking
orders from reputed global
customers like Dominion Virginia
Power from USA, Rohas from
Malaysia, etc. Having secured orders
from Power Grid Corporation of

India Limited (PGCIL) and the state

utilities of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh
and West Bengal, the business
has emerged as one of the largest
market share holders in 2015-16.
The Middle East business sustained
its winning streak by securing major
EHV GI substation orders in Qatar
including 3 packages from its key
customer, KAHRAMAA. Another
significant order was for design
and build of 5 substations with
associated cabling from Lusail. The
business has also secured several
Substation and Transmission Line
projects at the 132kV level in Saudi
Arabia. EHV GIS orders from private
customers were secured in UAE.
The business continues to make
good strides in its Africa initiative.
The business received two major
substation orders in the East African
market: one for constructing a
400kV AI Substation (AIS) in Addis

Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia

from Ethiopian Electric Power and
the other for a 400kV Substation at
Lilongwe in Malawi from Millenium
Challenge Account, an organisation
funded by US Government.
There were breakthroughs in
the ASEAN market through four
major orders. In Malaysia, a 500kV
Transmission Line order from Tenaga
Nasional Berhad (TNB) and two
275kV GI & AI substations from
Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) were
secured. In Thailand, a 500kV
Transmission Line order from
Electricity Generating Authority of
Thailand (EGAT) was received.
The business is proud to have
been given an opportunity to
light up thousands of households
in economically backward areas
and electrify hundreds of villages.
In a large number of towns, it
has improved the power quality

230 kV double-circuit transmission line at Abu Ali, Saudi Arabia. L&T is the industry leader in turnkey construction of power transmission and

and 220 kV & 132kV Lines for
MPPTCL (225Km). The TLTRS facility
at Kanchipuram achieved a major
milestone by successfully testing the
Saudi Electricity Companys tower
measuring 101.3m high, the tallest
tower ever to be tested.
The Solar business commissioned
200 MWp a rare feat to be
accomplished by an EPC in a year. It
commissioned Indias largest tracker
based solar PV plant in Tamil Nadu.
In the International market, the
Middle East business commissioned
18 substations, 2 cable projects
and an Overhead Transmission Line.
Having qualified for the highest
voltage levels in its lines of business,
it also added five new customers.

Significant Initiatives:
Having identified Digitalisation as
a key enabler, the business rolled
out mobility device based project
monitoring tools in its Saudi Arabia
projects. Several operational
excellence initiatives in the areas
of on-time delivery, profitability
enhancement, effectiveness checks
of process implementation, working
capital management and risk
management were pursued. The
domestic back office for engineering
and design to cater to international
projects has been strengthened.
A new Transmission Line Tower
manufacturing facility is also
proposed.
To enhance safety in its operations,
the initiatives undertaken include
upgrading Safe Operating

technology on a large scale in one
of its projects. It also tested other
technological advancements such
as Seasonal Tilt technology and E-W
technology.
As part of its internationalisation
strategy to expand into key African
and ASEAN economies, the business
has strengthened its talent base to
execute ongoing jobs, vigorously
pursuing emerging potential and
creating corporate brand awareness
and preference. The business
intends to develop long-term
relationships with its customers

Outlook:
The focus of the Central
government on visible results in
key programs such as Electricity
for All, Make in India, etc.,
augur well for the growth for

Power Transmission & Distribution

business. The improving financial
health of State Utilities thanks
to the Ujwal DISCOM Assurance
Yojana will mean increased
distribution opportunities through
Integrated Power Development
Scheme (IPDS) and Deen Dayal
Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana
(DDUGJY) schemes. To reduce AT&C
losses in general and especially
in cyclone affected areas, there
is continued focus on converting
overhead lines to underground
cables. Further, the business expects
continued investments in the Extra
High Voltage substation segment
from PGCIL and select state utilities
especially in 765kV & 400 kV levels
with thrust on GIS. Some of the
states are planning EHV cable links
too. Power quality improvement
projects such as STATCOM, new
clientele out of TBCB players,
state utilities strengthening their
networks with funding from
multilateral funding agencies etc.
are expected to provide much
needed impetus.
However, GoIs push towards
mobilisation of major equipment
and material for distribution projects
in a centralised manner may
significantly reduce the package size
available for the EPCs and increase
the physical scatter of work scope
for a given package size.
In the Transmission Business, while
the state and central utilities will
continue to award routine packages
for grid strengthening, major
transmission packages shall also
be witnessed through Tariff based
Competitive Bidding.
While intensified competition,
strategic median packaging

151

and reverse auction in PGCIL

projects may become a dampener,
Transmission Lines for solar
parks and lift irrigation schemes,
reconductoring packages and multi
circuit lines with High Transmission
Low Sag (HTLS) conductors
are expected to provide new
opportunities. Statutory changes in
land acquisition will have an impact
on the Right of Way clearances
in transmission line projects.
Commodity prices having bottomed
out late in 2015-16, the emerging
upward trend may exert pressure on
costs.
With its experience and expertise,
the business is in an ideal position
to exploit opportunities in both
transmission and distribution.
The business is poised to pursue
opportune prospects in Solar PV
plants in the backdrop of GWs of
planned solar capacity addition,
solar parks being created by states
like Telangana and Karnataka,
favourable policy changes through
Renewable Energy Act, etc.
In the Middle East, the business is
cautiously optimistic in its outlook.
The slow recovery of the oil price is
not expected to hamper investments
in the T&D sector though there
may be policy measures like
taxation and currency de-pegging.
Infrastructure development will
continue as part of diversifying the
economy and aided by events like
FIFA 2022. GCC grid formation,
upgradation to higher voltage
levels, integration of renewable
energy sources to the existing
power grid and interconnections
of transmission networks are
expected to fuel growth in
power distribution throughout
the Middle East. New investment
152

opportunities may unfold with

Aramcos stock divestment plans.
Though the de-subsidising of oil
prices may increase the input costs
in medium term, such expectation
hastens decision making on project
awards to take advantage of
lower commodity prices. While
competition from European players
may intensify, the established
credentials of the business in terms
of prequalification and project
delivery will help maintain its
leadership position.
Africas economic growth has
been impressive and is predicted
to remain robust. To sustain and
support high growth rates expected
for sub-Saharan Africa through
economic diversification and
industrial development, closing the
current gap in power infrastructure
will be crucial. Regional integration,
such as power pools, system
strengthening projects and
promotion of renewable generation
could shape the energy landscape in
sub-Saharan Africa. There are visible
commitments from Governments
to expand installation capacity and
increase electrification access rates
substantially. The eagerness from
multilateral funding institutions to

sponsor infrastructure projects either

directly through utilities or through
infrastructure developers bodes
well. The business has established
its presence in some of the key
growth economies of Africa and is
currently executing Transmission and
Distribution projects. The business is
concentrating on key economies of
Africa that have a clear road map to
build Substations and Transmission
Lines to meet increasing demand.
Power Infrastructure is being
ramped up by the ASEAN countries
driven by growth prospects
attributable to regional economic
integration and strategic location.
The rising power demand paves
the way for significant investments
in grid interconnections, grid
development and strengthening
in countries such as Malaysia,
Thailand, Myanmar and Indonesia.
The overall outlook for the PT&D
sector remains promising on both
the domestic and international
fronts. The business looks forward
to consolidate its position in
established markets and gain
significantly in new growth areas;
ably supported by its initiatives on
cost leadership and smart delivery.

L&Ts rural electrification expertise has brought electricity to over 24,000 Indian villages.

Power Business

2x800 MW supercritical thermal power plant at Krishnapatam, Andhra Pradesh. L&T has manufactured critical equipment for supercritical power plants across India.

Overview:
Power business provides integrated
concept-to-commissioning of coal
and gas-based power plants on
turnkey basis.
The business has project
management centres in Vadodara,
Faridabad and Chennai along with
state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities in Hazira for ultrasupercritical / supercritical Boilers,
Turbines & Generators, Axial Fans,

Air-Preheaters and Electrostatic

Precipitators. These factories,
coupled with talented staff and
decades of unparalleled experience
in executing complex projects,
are its competitive advantage in
building the best-in-class power
assets in India and abroad.
During the year, capacity worth
2,228 MW built by the business
achieved commercial operation. The
business has also made significant

headway in Bangladesh by winning

three prestigious projects for
gas-based plants, one each in the
last three years.
Business Environment:
The business environment was a
mixed bag during the year with
promising as well as challenging
developments.
The domestic market witnessed a
sharp increase in tendering activity
159

in 2015-16. Projects worth 21 GW

were decided either through
bidding or nomination route. Out of
this, close to 10 GW were awarded
out, with formal orders for the rest
yet to be placed. This increased
activity was, however, marred by
severe competitive pressures with
aggressive pricing by competitors.
The year also saw the rise of a trend
of multiple state-owned utilities
placing orders on nomination
basis (Close to 6 GW) bypassing
the established norm of inviting
competitive bids.
During the year, the business
fully established its footprint in
Bangladesh by securing its third
EPC order in as many years for
BPDB 400 MW Bibiyana CCPP. In
the previous years, it won orders for
NWPGCL 360 MW Bheramara CCPP
and BPDB 225 MW Sikalbaha CCPP
in Bangladesh.
The execution of the current coal
and gas-based projects on hand
also progressed satisfactorily in
2015-16, with internal execution
records being surpassed in terms of
time taken for achievement of major
project milestones like erection of
boiler structures and ceiling girder
jack-up.
Significant Initiatives:
The business has recently drawn
up Lakshya 2021 its 5 year
strategic plan. Under this exercise,
major strategic initiatives have
been identified which will lead the
business to greater success under
the plan period. These initiatives
have been drawn up after detailed
deliberations and reviews both
internally as well as with external
consultants to maximise the benefits
to the company.

exercise has been initiated under
this plan, to improve the profitability
of its current project portfolio and
improve its competitiveness for
future bids.

to the sector. On the other hand,

the increasing focus on nuclear
power and renewables like solar
can fundamentally alter the power
source mix in the nation.

During the year, the business also

initiated groundwork for firming
up technology partnerships in new
areas like Flue Gas Desulphurisation
(FGD) and Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) and is well placed
to take advantage of emerging
opportunities.

Notwithstanding the emergence

of these alternative sources, coal
will remain the mainstay of the
domestic power sector. The primary
concern, however, will continue to
be the supply glut in the coal power
segment. There are prospects worth
~7 GW in the domestic coal market
for 2016-17, against the annual
domestic manufacturing capacity
of 24 GW. While this overcapacity
will continue to keep prices under
pressure, the business expects the
irrational pricing to finally ebb, as
competitors may bid responsibly
because of the mounting financial
distress evident from their books in
2015-16.

Outlook:
The power sector in the country
is in a state of flux today. The
countrys growth and proactive
government policies are expected
to provide much needed boost

For 2016-17, the situation is

expected to improve on policy and
economic fronts. On the policy
side, the Government has issued
rules on environmental protection
relating to curbing the emissions

Exports of products, services

and projects have been selected
as another major focus area. The
business has made significant
progress in cultivating overseas
customers for its engineering wing
as well as supply of boiler and
turbine components.

of coal-based power plants. These

are expected to open up new
high-value business opportunities
for FGD and SCR. The company is
getting geared to offer these as
part of its product portfolio. The
Ujjwal Discom Assurance Yojana
(UDAY) implemented by the Central
Government is also expected to
provide relief to the sector by
de-stressing the discom balance
sheets and reviving demand. The
Government also plans to bid out
at least two UMPPs during 2016-17
to developers. This will generate
sizeable market for the business in
subsequent periods.
The domestic gas-based power
plant market is not expected to
revive in the near future considering
the already stranded commissioned
capacity. However, the South
East Asian market is expected to
generate opportunities for gas
based plants in the coming year.
With the good experience of
three Bangladesh projects under
execution, the company is preparing
to enter these new markets in South
East Asia.

margins for Indian steel producers in
spite of the low raw material prices.
Debt serviceability had been a major
163

concern in the year 2015-16 for

a majority of the steel and power
companies. All these factors have
impacted investments in new
projects with no major steel and
power plant expansions announced
by companies.
Recent Government initiatives like

transparency in mining allocation,
coupled with an upward trend in
global steel prices have brought
some hope for the steel and power
sectors and investments in the
mining sector have commenced.
However, there are risks associated
with the positive sentiment on steel
which include raw material and steel
price volatility, removal of regulatory
support by the Government under
the pressure from WTO, significant
rise in domestic utilisation rates and
weak demand which can all play
spoil sport.
Coal India has been able to achieve
the production of 536 million MT
in 2015-16. The Coal Ministry plans
to become self-sufficient in power
plant fuel in next two to three years.
Major investments in Coal Handling
and Washery are likely in the near
future by CIL, SCCL, MDOs, etc.
Indias iron ore production is
expected to reach 199 million MT
by 2020, opening opportunities in
beneficiation and material handling
sectors. Investments are planned for
iron ore handling and beneficiation
plants by the operators of captive
mines namely SAIL and TATA.
The emphasis of all steelmakers
will be on improving operational
efficiencies. This is expected to

The Product business is fully
equipped to manufacture highend equipment involving heavy
fabrication, precision machining and
critical assembly and testing.
In the year 2015-16, Kansbahal
received a repeat order from Rio
Tinto for a 1600 TPH rotary breaker
type crusher for Mount Thorley
Mines at Singleton, Australia.
This was based on satisfactory
performance of the first machine
supplied in 2014-15. Another
prestigious international order
from Awam Minerals, Oman for
custom-built skid mounted gypsum
crushing plant was successfully
commissioned.
L&T Kansbahal introduced the very
first surface miners in Northern
Coalfields Limited (NCL) coal mines
in 2015-16. It also continued to
maintain its dominance in supplying
Limestone Crushing plants to major
cement plants in India.
The fabrication shop at
Kanchipuram continues to provide
the support and strength of critical
and heavy fabrication and assembly
works for Material Handling
Equipment like Stackers, Reclaimers
and a host of other mid precision
level equipment catering to the
Steel, Mining, Power and other
process plants.
Significant Initiatives:
The business has made strategic
alliances with leading global

technologists as a part of its

business line diversification across
various segments.
The ferrous business has taken
strategic initiatives in certain parts
of the value chain to develop
in-house technology capabilities and
position itself as a LSTK player for
those process plants. The nonferrous sector has started to expand
its portfolio into by-product plants
for Zinc and Copper.
As part of a business augmentation
drive, MMH has envisaged
opportunities in Ash Handling,
EPC support for MDO (Mining,
Development and Operation) and
Material Handling systems.
Kansbahals manufacturing facility
is strategically planning to further
augment its product portfolio with
the introduction of new products
like advanced sand manufacturing
plants, cone crushers and mobile
crushers.
During the year, the business
completed the restructuring of its
operations by closing cluster offices.
The business aggressively pursued
optimisation of resources like staff,
equipment, materials and formwork
along with cost reduction measures
to create a lean organisation and
improve operational performance.
Operational excellence initiatives
continued to enhance productivity.
Key success factors for the
business are customer satisfaction,
operational efficiency and consistent
performance. The business has also
established offices in the Gulf (UAE,
Oman and KSA), Africa and South
East Asia to address international

customer needs and further increase

its business potential.
Human Resources: During the year,
the business continued its thrust to
bring in Operation excellence in the
areas of site execution and supply
chain management. Interventions
for advancing the skill levels of
the employees were implemented
through a string of strategic training
programs, both technical and
behavioural at various project sites.
Going forward, these initiatives will
enhance organisational capabilities
for meeting emerging challenges on
all fronts.
Outlook:
The Steel sector is currently facing
sectoral challenges with global
steel prices yet to stabilize and
a high level of industry debt
across steel players. Some of the
positive regulatory interventions
such as allocation of coal mines
and imposition of SGD and MIP
on steel have, however, started
to show signs of improvement
in the domestic steel sector. The
Introduction of the 5:25 refinancing
scheme has given some confidence
and given a breather to the steel
industry. All these factors have
raised hopes of an improving
profitability trajectory for Indian
steel players in Q3 and Q4 of
2016-17.
Focus on capacity utilisation,
improving efficiency, securing
raw material availability and
environmental factors are exerting
a positive pressure on the steel
companies, triggering investment
in steel sector (rebuilds and
de-bottlenecking). As Zinc has
traditionally followed steel, the

165

prospects in Zinc will follow steel

investments. Coal under the
purview of the environmental
concerns, efficiency improvement
pressures and mining clearances
is going to see investments in
2016-17. Mining clearances and
environmental concerns will pave
way for Alumina refineries in
2016-17.

166

The Power sector has an investment

potential of more than USD 200 Bn.
in the next five years. 35-45 GW
coal based thermal power capacity
order finalisation is expected by
2021. Retrofits and replacement
of old sub-critical units by supercritical units are also planned by
various power producers. Stringent
environmental norms will provide

opportunities for the material

handling sector. All these initiatives
are expected to provide a lot of
opportunities for MMH business.
The business envisages
opportunities overseas in material
handling and downstream metal in
the near future.

Heavy Engineering Business

A coal-gasifier being transported. L&T has built the worlds largest coal-gasifier, for export to China.

Overview:
The Heavy Engineering (HE) business
designs, fabricates and integrates
custom designed, engineered
critical equipment and systems
to core sector industries like
Fertiliser, Refinery, Petrochemical,
Chemical, Oil & Gas, Thermal &
Nuclear Power, Aerospace and for
Defence applications. The business
has a track record of executing
large size and complex projects
with capabilities that include

in-house engineering, equipped

fabrication facilities, R&D centres,
an experienced project team and a
safe work culture.
The business is structured into two
Strategic Business Groups (SBGs):
Process Plant Equipment and
Nuclear
Defence and Aerospace

The Process Plant Equipment and

Nuclear (PP&N) SBG is involved in
the manufacture of large complex
equipment such as hydro-processing
reactors and high-pressure heat
exchangers for process plants and
equipment for the nuclear power
sector. Heavy manufacturing is
undertaken at work centres located
in Mumbai, Hazira and Sohar in
Oman. Precision fabrication in
stainless steel and titanium on the
process plant side is handled by the
167

Vadodara manufacturing facility.

During the year, the business of
fabricating critical piping spools for
applications in the power, refinery,
petrochemical, fertiliser and
chemical sectors (for high-pressure,
temperature and corrosive services)
was brought within the purview
of the Heavy Engineering business,
while it was earlier within the
purview of Power business. The
Piping business unit has a track
record of export of piping spools to
USA and Canada and forecasts good
opportunities in supplies to EPCs in
USA, Canada, Japan and Europe.
The Defence and Aerospace
(D&A) SBG is involved in design,
development and realisation of
Naval Platforms, Artillery systems,
Land & Naval Weapon systems, Fire
Control systems, Naval equipment
and systems, Engineering systems
for Land and Marine forces, Military
Bridging systems, Communication
systems, Missile sub systems and
Rocket Motors for Space launch
vehicles. The SBGs operations span
three dedicated work-centres at
Talegaon near Pune, Coimbatore
and Bengaluru besides production
facilities at Hazira for manufacture
of critical units for the strategic
program, Ranoli for Advanced
Composites and Powai for prototype
development and testing, besides
the site at Vishakhapatnam
operated as a GOCO model for a
strategic program.
Business Environment:
During the year 2015-16, the
Process Plant Equipment segment
has been impacted by a weak
global economic scenario triggered
by slump in the oil prices, falling
commodity prices, depreciation
of emerging markets currencies

168

vis--vis USD, financial market

uncertainty, deferred capital
investment plans, geo-political
situations and delayed policy
implementation in India. The
sudden and steep drop in oil prices
has resulted in the cancellation,
suspension and deferment of
capital expenditure projects
of oil-producing countries.
Competitors having idle capacities
offered very aggressive pricing in a
shrunk market. Localisation policies,
preference to local suppliers and
mandatory requirement of sourcing
equipment from the Export
Credit Agencies (ECA) financing
countries by EPCs also impacted the
Process Plant Equipment business.
International sanctions on Russia
and Iran deprived the SBG of
business opportunities. The nuclear
business was affected by the delay
in matters related to nuclear liability
and insurance as per The Indian
Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage
Act. PP&N SBGs order inflow and
revenues were therefore adversely
impacted. This caused underutilisation of facilities resulting in

under-recovery of fixed expenses. In

addition cost over-runs on certain
jobs also impacted the profitability
of the SBG.
Defence and Aerospace is a
strategic segment, and Government
of Indias (GoI) procurement in
this segment follow the Defence
Procurement Procedure (DPP). With
an aim to achieve self-reliance as
well as boost in defence exports in
the medium and long term, the GoI
has driven several initiatives in fiscal
year 2015-16 aimed at attracting
investments from both foreign and
Indian companies and creating a
level playing field for Indian private
sector companies in defence.
Through structured and detailed
consultations with all stakeholders,
a simplified DPP 2016 has been
released in March 2016, which
addresses the requirements of the
Ministry of Defence and Industry.
Considering the long procurement
cycle time, the benefits of the
impact of the new DPP would be
realised from the year 2017-18

onwards. In fiscal year 2015-16,

the continuing linkage to earlier
procedures and resultant slower
pace of decision making resulted in
deferment of repeat orders for Very
Low Frequency (VLF) Transmitter
project, Pinaka Artillery Systems and
Weapons and Equipment package
for Indian Navys warships, thus
resulting in reduced order inflow.
However, significant progress has
been achieved in certain other
programs, orders for which are
likely to be concluded in the near
term. During the year, the SBG also
embarked upon a drive for reducing
capital employed in operations
with added focus on productivity
improvement and efficient execution
to shorten the order to cash cycle,
resulting in better cash generation.

The OE team facilitates the

implementation of identified
improvement programs across
Heavy Engineering. Initiatives
like Productivity Management,
Total Productive Maintenance of
machines, Six Sigma for process
improvements, Workplace
Management Systems, Knowledge
Management, creation and update
of Standards and Procedures and
Cost Control measures harness
the technical and business acumen
of the business. The culture of
continuous improvements in
operations helps the business
attain global benchmarks. In-house
competency and leadership
development are undertaken
through Employee Engagement and
Talent Development Programmes.

Significant Initiatives:
In order to maintain leadership
position in the Process Plant
and Defence sectors, focussed
team initiatives are taken under
Organisational Excellence (OE).

Sustainability and CSR is enshrined

in the Vision of the business and
has long been a part of its way of
giving back to society at large. The
sustainability and CSR initiatives

are undertaken at each of the units

of the business based on the local
needs. Developmental programs
are identified in keeping with its
thrust areas like global warming,
conservation of electricity, fuels,
water and reuse and recycle of
material and resources.
More than 50,000 people from
underprivileged and economically
backward communities have been
benefitted through health check-up
campaigns and medical care.
Over 20,000 children have gained
from its education promotion
programs by way of building
school infrastructure and providing
educational aids. Environment,
Health and Safety policies and
programs help in increasing
awareness amongst employees,
community and its stakeholders.

manufacturing technology.
These Centres are engaged in
deploying technologies related to
process industries, manufacturing,
mechanical systems, defence
electronics and submarine designs.
The Centres focus specifically
on the following technology
domains -welding and metallurgy,
composite material, heat transfer,
hydrodynamics, computational fluid
dynamics, stress analysis, drives,
microwave and RF, embedded
systems, high availability systems
and military communication. The
steering group, comprising the top
management of the business, plans,
oversees and monitors all these
initiatives through regular review
meetings.
For the D&A segment, the Product
& Technology Development
Centres focus on development
of niche products and solutions
either for internal development
projects or through participation
in opportunities presented under
Make & Buy & Make Indian
category programs. The SBG
has also successfully partnered
with foreign Original Equipment
Manufacturers for engineering,
development and realisation of
artillery gun systems customised for
the requirement of Indian Army.
In the Defence segment, the
business has collaborated with
national laboratories such as DRDO
and ISRO as technology partners for
indigenous technology development
for the various defence and space
launch programs, besides in-house
programs such as the Autonomous
Underwater Vehicle. The business
is also a partner to defence public
sector undertakings such as Bharat
Electronics Limited, Bharat Dynamics
Limited, Mazgaon Docks Limited,
170

K 9 Vajra T 155/52-calibre self propelled howitzer, designed for all terrains.

Garden Reach Shipbuilders and

Engineers Limited etc. for detailed
engineering & production of various
weapon delivery & engineering
systems. This augurs well for the
business in future, as it aligns with
the GoIs Make in India initiative.
Outlook:
The business outlook for Process
Plant sector looks challenging
due to uncertain macro-economic
environment coupled with dropping
oil prices and cut on capital
expenditure across the sector. The
overall investment climate remains
cautious with the overhang of
excess capacity. However, the recent
financial distress of Korean and
Chinese fabricators may force EPCs
to explore other low-cost countries
including India. Given its execution
capabilities and proven track
record, the PP&N SBG is prepared
to harness business prospects as
they emerge and stay focused on
profitable execution.
In the refinery space, oil supply
has outpaced oil demand growth
in 2015-16, putting significant
pressure on oil prices. The declining
trajectory seems likely to continue
in 2016-17 and will gradually

rebalance boosting demand and

dampening supply. The majority
of the investments are likely to be
in Asia and Middle East region.
However, opportunities are seen
in the medium term due to
implementation of clean fuel norms
in India Bharat IV by 2017, Bharat
VI by 2020 and announcement
to set-up new greenfield refinery
by PSU oil majors. Overseas
opportunities include KNPC-Al Zour
Refinery Project in Kuwait, Dangote
Refinery Project in Nigeria, Hengli
Refinery Project in China, PMB
Hengyi Refinery Project in Brunei,
TAKREER Refinery Project in the
UAE, BAPCO Refinery Project in
Bahrain, PEMEX Refinery projects in
Mexico, etc.
In the petrochemical sector, the
uncertainty in the investment is
prevailing due to fall in oil prices.
US Shale gas has the advantage
of lower and shorter investment
cycles compared to conventional
oil, which makes US shale more
responsive to oil prices. Availability
of cheap LNG and US shale gas as a
feedstock will boost investment in
the petrochemical sectors (ethylene
capacity additions).

In the Fertiliser space, global

fertiliser demand is forecasted to
expand marginally in fiscal year
2016-17. Greenfield and brownfield
projects are expected in USA,
Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Nigeria,
Algeria and Russia. Expected
domestic greenfield and brownfield
investments in the fertiliser sector
shall provide business opportunities.
Also, opportunities to export for
upgradation projects in Iran seem to
be opening up.

into effect from 1st April, Defence

procurement is expected to gain
traction and programs worth
200000 crore are expected to
be ordered with preference to the
Indian industry. The preference
to buy Indigenously Designed
Developed and Manufactured
(IDDM) products will also result in
opportunities in newer domains.
With FDI at 49%, competition in the
form of foreign OEMs with Indian
industry is likely to be increased.

In the Nuclear space, the Indian

Nuclear Insurance Pool (INIP)
launched in June 2015 and the draft
Operators Policy and Suppliers
Special Contingency Policy (against
Right of Recourse) is being
reviewed by the concerned parties
(including foreign technology
providers). Further, the government
approved the Nuclear Liability Fund
of 2000 crore which is an addition
to INIP. The Company has entered
into strategic teaming agreement
/ MoU with the concerned foreign
technology suppliers and can look
forward to a global presence in this
industry. Due to stiff competition
in international markets, foreign
OEMs are looking at cost effective
solutions through plant upgrades
and de-bottlenecking, and this
opens up opportunities for the
business. In view of the same,
procurement process (re-tendering)
for critical equipment is expected to
begin in 2016-17.

Over the next 2 to 3 years,

significant opportunities are
envisaged in programs for newbuild naval platforms, refit of
conventional submarines, artillery
and air defence guns, close-inweapon system, military bridging
systems, missile programs and subsystems for space launch vehicles.
The business is future-ready to play
a proactive role towards self-reliance
of our nation through a successful
Make in India initiative.

A track record spanning three

decades of the D&A SBG with
emphasis on indigenous technology
development distinctly positions the
Company as a market leader, on
its own steam and in the forefront
in the defence and aerospace
sector. With the DPP 2016 coming

Major Subsidiary Companies

is a joint venture (JV) of Larsen &
Toubro Limited (L&T) and Nuclear
Power Corporation of India Limited
(NCPIL), with L&T and NPCIL holding
74% and 26% stakes respectively.
The JV was formed to set up a fully
integrated forging facility (from
steel scrap to finished forgings of
alloy steels, carbon steel & stainless
steels) with a capacity to produce
a single piece ingot up to 300 MT
and forgings up to 120 MT in the
first phase. These are required for
critical equipment in nuclear power

and hydrocarbon industry, for

rotors in power industry, blocks for
oil & gas segment and for general
engineering applications. The JV
is a major strategic step towards
achieving Indias independence
from imports of heavy forgings for
hydrocarbon industry and ensuring
timely supply of heavy forgings for
nuclear power plants.
Business Scenario:
The demand for heavy forgings
is a derived demand dependent
on the outlook of the end use
segments comprising refineries,
petrochemicals, thermal and nuclear
power, wind and hydro power
and other industries like steel. The
Company has been witnessing fierce
competition from global established
players having excess capacities.
This has been aggravated post the
Fukushima nuclear disaster. Due to
very low crude oil prices, the forging
demand from oil & gas sector has
also diminished.
The Company has been successful in
getting approvals and qualifications
from many key customers. This
opens a window of opportunities
going forward in various
segments. The Company has been
successful in manufacturing of
high quality Stainless Steel grade
forgings required for International
Thermonuclear Experimental
Reactor (ITER). In yet other major
milestone, the Company has
successfully manufactured most
of the heavy forgings for steam
generators, pressurizers of 700 MW
PHWR reactors for NPCIL designed
nuclear plants.
The Company has also made heavy
forgings shells, tube sheets,
dished ends required for refineries,

171

fertiliser plants and heavy shafts for

the mining segment. The Company
has made successful supplies of
Blow out Preventers (BOP) and
forged blocks required for oil & gas
segment.
The Company is focusing on
stabilising the production processes
and improve manufacturing
efficiencies so as to remain
competitive in the market. A series
of initiatives have been initiated
in the area of cost control and
improving process efficiencies. A
total focus on reduction of fixed
costs has brought down the fixed
costs by over 30%.
The Company has embarked on
establishment of Quality Systems
in the new facility, complying with
ISO 9001. The Company has been
accredited by NABL certification for
laboratories and also received the
U, U2 stamps from ASME, USA. This
will help company in getting shop
approvals from prospective reputed
customers.
The strategic focus of the Company,
in line with its vision, is to fill
the technological and resultant
manufacturing gap in the country
for critical heavy forgings for
the nuclear and other strategic
sectors like defence. The Company
has demonstrated its capability
to manufacture critical forgings
for the Indian Pressurized Heavy
Water Reactor (PHWR) plants. It
has also taken up the development
of the critical forgings for the
next generation IPWR - nuclear
plants. Discussions are at an
advanced stage with foreign
technology partners for possible
development of forgings to meet
their specifications for future Indian
nuclear installations.

organisations across India for their
contribution in harnessing the
countrys intellectual capital and
creating an eco-system that boosts
creativity and innovation.
During the year, Electrical Standard
Products Business put its thrust
on ramping up its capabilities to
increase the production of its new
products such as its new range of
modular products and other MCCBs.
The two major developments for
the year were introduction of AHF
(Automatic Harmonic Filter) and the
Smart Comm solution (powered
by iVisionmax Indigenous
automation software). Smart Comm
is a unified software platform for
supporting all the products of
the business including meters,
MCCBs, MCBs, relays, releases, ac
drives, soft starters, IO modules
and building automation products,
communicating to a control
room through Ethernet, Modbus
TCP/IP, IEC 61850 and BACNet.
Smart Comm is scalable to meet
requirements of all sizes of facilities
and plants and it allows integration
of third party devices on open
standard protocols.
In 2015-16, the Metering &
Protection System business
introduced new products like New
1-phase Meter with IrDA, 3-Phase
Meter with IrDA, 1-Phase Pre-Paid
Meter (Taurus), 3-Phase Pre-Paid
Meter (Atria), 1-Phase Smart Meter
(Aurora), 3-Phase Smart Meter
(Regor), 3-Phase Digital Panel Meter

(Nova), New Trip Supervision Relay

(TCS01-nX) & Motor Protection
Relay (MPR200). The introduction
of the Smart and Prepaid meter will
show results in the coming years
as India is implementing Smart
Cities a key initiative taken by the
Government.
During the year, the Control and
Automation business made an entry
into the Solar business with help of
a tie-up with an Italian Company
for L&T-branded Solar inverter
completing the portfolio for solar
solution. Also, Electrical System
and Equipment business developed
L&Ts Outdoor Compact substation
N-Qube which will cater to the
rapidly growing infrastructure
sector.
Outlook:
Even with the new reforms initiated
by the government, the core sectors
continue to show no signs of
pickup. However, with the launch
of schemes like DDUGJY and IPDS
which target central procurement
of meters throughout the country,
there is a hope for a movement
toward premium products like AMR,
Prepaid and Smart Meters in the
coming years. Also, Scheme UDAY
will improve health of DISCOMS and
will lead to higher investment by the
utilities.
The overall market will remain
competitive as liquidity with major
customers continues to be a cause
of worry. The business has also
witnessed a financial crunch at
major industrial houses due to
which new plants/expansion are
not being announced. Overall the
industrial sector shows a muted
trend. However, the business sees an
upward trend in the infrastructure
sector (Metro, Airports, Railways,

etc.) and is optimistic that its

efforts in launching products for
infrastructure sector in 2015-16 will
yield result although the margins in
infrastructure sector are negligible
due to competition from local
players.
The business also sees an
improvement in demand from agro
/ food processing industries. The
Marine business sees a positive
sentiment through the Make
in India initiative taken by the
government which emphasises
on indigenous content, giving
the business an edge over foreign
suppliers. Also the Indian Navy has
reckoned the company as a strategic
partner resulting in thrust on setting
up Life Cycle Support facilities in its
Navi Mumbai factory.
With continuous low oil prices,
the business sentiments are being
affected on the international front.
Projects are expected to be deferred
or delayed further. However, social
infrastructure projects like hospitals
and metros are expected to
continue as planned and new high
end infrastructure projects are being
announced in the Dubai market for
Expo 2020 and the Qatar market for
FIFA 2022. The dedicated focus of
the business on GCC metro projects
is expected to yield results in
2016-17. Also,pursuant to unrest in
the Middle East and Africa regions,
respective government priorities
are shifting toward defence related
initiatives.
The South East Asia market looks
attractive as major investments
are seen in the building sector in
Indonesia and the power sector in
Bangladesh.

Major Subsidiary Companies

TAMCO GROUP OF COMPANIES:
TAMCO is the leading manufacturer
of Medium Voltage switchgear in
South East Asia with manufacturing
facilities in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Its products are widely used in the
power, oil & gas, construction and
manufacturing industries. Through
extensive R&D and advanced
manufacturing technology, TAMCO
has been able to deliver high
quality, safe, reliable and cost
effective products and solutions.
Its strength lies in the flexibility to
develop and adapt products to meet
customers needs and, therefore, it
has a high reference list across the
globe.
The business environment in
2015-16 was tough with the steep
fall in oil prices as TAMCOs main
markets are in oil producing nations.
Even the Malaysian market was
badly affected with projects getting
delayed and the government cutting
its OPEX budget. Jobs were few
and this affected the price levels
too. However, the depreciation of
the local currency (Ringgit) gave
the company an advantage in the
global market and it could protect
its market share and margins.
The Chairman of Saudi Electricity
Company visited the company
and encouraged it to build the
switchgears in KSA. Consequently
TAMCO invested 25% stake in
LTEASA and have completed type
tests to get its products approved.
Also UK approved for the E&A
business to opening doors to utility
market in the UK. The companys
Australian operations were not
able to generate business and
were making losses over the last
two years. Accordingly, operations
in Australia were stopped and

separation of all employees was

carried out except the service
engineers.
The Malaysian economy is showing
signs of recovery. The local utility
is coming out with a few tenders
in the coming year and the
Company expects to benefit from
this opportunity. Also the outlook
for Indonesian economy looks
encouraging and a large numbers
of infrastructure and power projects
are seen in the pipeline. With
projects drying up in core markets
like UAE, Qatar and Malaysia, the
Company saw a need to develop
a retrofit solution for these
geographies where its product and
solution population is high. With
some concrete efforts, the Company
has developed retrofit solutions
to cater to these requirements.
Another key strategy for TAMCO
would be to foray into European
markets, Iran and other South-

East Asia countries like Vietnam

following an OEM model.

leading to shortfalls in budgeted

incomes for all oil economies in
the region compounded with
heightened security concerns due to
increased political disturbance in the
region, there is a general slowdown
in pace of O&G project investment.
Nevertheless, O&G investments
continued in Kuwait and Oman,
while Qatar and KSA governments
primarily are committed to
improving their infrastructure.
Airport, Metro / Railway, Hospital
related investment continued to
gain importance.
The Company has had a bad year
in terms of achievements. The
costs surpassed the estimation on
the projects, leading to a negative
bottom line. With increasing
number of System Integration
companies in the market, the
markets have become extremely
competitive. As a result, LTEAFZE
saw drop in Process Automation

associated products viz., PLCs,
Drives, Transformers, cables, etc.,
to offer a one window solution
to customers. The company been
approved by almost all major end
users in the Kingdom eg SABIC and
Saudi Aramco.
The Company had a bad year in
terms of achievements. During the
year 2015-16, LTEASA saw lower
order inflow in view of deferment
and cancellation of projects which
lead to drying up of the order
book and lower sales, leading to a
negative bottom line.
The Saudi economy is expected to
grow slowly at 1.9 % in calendar
year 2016 down from 3.4% in
calendar year 2015. The non-oil
private sector will continue to grow
albeit at a slower pace, as reduced
government spending will most
likely have a negative impact on

177

business activity. However, growth

in all sectors in the non-oil private
economy will remain positive.
The fiscal year 2016-17 will be a
tough year for LTEASA. The key
focus areas for LTEASA during the
year would be getting LV and MV
approvals from SEC, Aramco and
other consultants in KSA, providing
better reach in Saudi market. As
major growth opportunities will be
generated from non-oil markets,
the key focus area would be the
infrastructure sector, especially
mega metro and airport projects.

specialised studies and engineering
for special applications (such as
reformers, cryogenic systems
and modular solutions) while the
Faridabad Centre specialises in a
broad range of detailed engineering
and project management functions.

The Engineering Services vertical

has a large resource pool of over
3.5 million engineering man hours.
A large portfolio of industrystandard software tools, robust
IT infrastructure and in-house
R&D facility further augment
its capabilities. Benchmarked
through leading certification
and accreditation systems, the
engineering work processes offer
consistent product quality with
on-time delivery. Backed by decades
of experience and rich domain
knowledge, the team is geared to
provide value-added services to
customers across the hydrocarbon
sector.
Business Environment:
The volatility and sharp fall
in crude oil prices during the
year created an environment of
investment uncertainty for the
entire hydrocarbon industry, with
international offshore segment
being affected the most. New field
development plans were deferred
and most of the private sector
players announced reduction
in capex spends. This shrinkage
of market opportunities is less
pronounced in the Middle East.
Gas-based projects have been
relatively less affected by the
decline in oil prices and national
oil companies continue to tender
these type of projects. However,
there is an increasing thrust on
local in-country value add by
governments and national oil
companies.
In the domestic sector, the
government announced a new
Hydrocarbon Exploration &
Licencing Policy (HELP) providing
for unified open acreage licensing
policy, i.e. allowing producers

to exploit conventional and

unconventional hydrocarbons (CBM/
shale/hydrates) under a single
license. Simultaneously, a new gas
pricing formula was announced
providing for market linked prices
for deepwater & Ultra deepwater
fields to incentivise exploration
activity. During the year, ONGC
continued its capex projects
notwithstanding the fall in crude
prices. However, predatory pricing
was seen from a few South East
Asian players with idle capacity.
On the flip side, lower crude prices
have led to a boost in refining and
petrochemical expansion plans.
Reduced naphtha and gas prices
have also led to the revival of LNG
Re-gasification Terminal projects &
fertiliser projects, primarily, in the
nature of upgradation and energy
efficiency.
In light of the above challenging
external environment and multiple
headwinds, the business has done
well to maintain order inflow at
previous year levels of approx.
10000 crore.
Significant Initiatives:
Fiscal year 2015-16 has been a year
of transformation and turnaround
for the hydrocarbon business. There
were several top leadership changes
starting with appointment of
Mr. Subramanian Sarma, a veteran
in global oil & gas contracting
industry, as the CEO & MD of L&T
Hydrocarbon Engineering Limited.
A business re-organisation and
transformation plan was unveiled
during the year with a view to
avoid silos, reduce costs, improve
competitiveness and aid profitable
execution.

The entire hydrocarbon business

operations have been re-grouped
as five business verticals with
targeted revenue streams, catering
to global opportunities across
the hydrocarbon value chain,
including creation of two new
verticals, viz., Modular Fabrication
Services & Engineering Services to
provide growth impetus for the
future. Consolidation of erstwhile
geographically dispersed operations
into India-centric verticals has been
accomplished. A new risk/reward
sharing model has been adopted
to create better alignment amongst
verticals and rationalisation of profit
centers. Tie-ups with global majors
are under negotiation to address
Indian deepwater projects, subsea
manifolds, engineering services,
augment utilisation of yards, etc.
Manpower rationalisation and
relocation initiatives are expected
to result in annualised savings of
over 200 crore from 2016-17
onwards. The business development
set-up has been consolidated with
distinct focus groups for product as
well as geographies. The proposal
and estimation group has been
centralised and the estimation
process has been streamlined to
improve bid-win ratio. Initiatives
have also been undertaken for
consolidating key resources to
create centres of excellence
and identifying and addressing
leadership gaps. As a result of these
initiatives, the hydrocarbon segment
is poised to improve its bottom-line
significantly from 2016-17 onwards.
Risk Management & Internal
Controls:
Pro-active Risk Management has
been identified as a key strategic
initiative to ensure sustainable

183

growth. Risk Management is

an integral part of the overall
governance process to identify,
segregate, mitigate, control and
monitor various risks at business,
individual bid and operational
levels. The risk management policy
and guidelines incorporates global
best practices and procedures
which enables building the ability
to anticipate challenges and
opportunities for achieving strategic
objectives.
The major risks such as limited
investments due to falling oil
prices, onerous contract terms by
client, tight schedule, stringent
localization requirements, forex
exposure, etc. are mitigated through
specific actions like operational
excellence initiatives, alliances,
cost optimisation, improved
customer relationship, compliance
with stringent HSE standards,
proactive forex hedging, strong
contract & claims management and
identification of key personnel and
talent at the pre-bid stage.
All projects undergo a structured
pre-bid risk review by the Apex Risk
Management Committee (ARMC)
at business and at corporate level
as per well-defined authorisation
limits. This process involves a
detailed assessment of risks and
deliberation on mitigation measures
by the ARMC. Periodically risk
reviews are conducted for ongoing
projects. Project managers/
selected project team members
undergo a certified Risk Induction
Programme conducted by ECRI
(Engineering & Construction Risk
Institute) on a continuous basis to
become acquainted with industrys
best practices.During the year,
a dedicated Business Assurance

184

Group has been established to

institutionalise execution risk
management on a pro-active basis.

multiple in-house IT capabilities for

managing various Hire to Retire
processes.

A strong Internal Control

framework is an important part
of operations and corporate
governance. The management
has established internal control
systems commensurate with the
size and complexity of the business.
The internal control manual
provides a structured approach
for identification, rectification,
monitoring and reporting of gaps
in the internal control systems and
processes. The Group follows well
documented Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) and the operating

Business Environment:
The Global IT-BPM Market as noted
by NASSCOM saw increasing
number of firms using custom
application development as a means
to enhance customer service with
tailored solutions. The need to
differentiate their company and
188

competitors and the need to comply

mandates are driving growth in
the segment. CADM services are
using cloud computing and mobility
considered as a strategic tool to
enhance business processes and
improve customer satisfaction and
acquisition. SMAC adoption across
industries became all pervasive
driving growth in IT services.
The year was marked by spinoffs,
buyouts, divestitures and focused
acquisitions among service providers
which helped bolster the bottom
line for the vendors and their
customers. Technology M&A deals
in volume registered a record
high of USD 713 Bn. in 2015 on a
global basis. Driven by increased
competition, some other firms took
the restructuring of businesses route
to improve profits and reduce costs.
Significant Initiatives:
Focus on emerging technologies:
L&T Infotech has established
business relationships with
a number of players in the
digital space and, in addition
to its existing capabilities, such
relationships will further enable
it to develop sophisticated
ecosystems along with its partners
as a value-added proposition to its
clients. Further, it plans to invest
seed capital in startups, which will
allow them to benefit from their
innovation capabilities and digital
offerings. The Company believes
this will help them enhance their
digital offerings and in turn, give
a platform and opportunity to
scale up to startups. In addition,
as part of its strategic focus in
India, it is inter alia positioning
itself to cater to Smart Cities
opportunities that it has identified
therein.

L&T Infotech regularly tracks new

technologies, industry segments
and market trends in the IT
solutions market and believes
that digitalisation will increasingly
become systematically critical in
the future. It looks to assist its
clients to engage the future
through its focus on emerging
technologies. The Company
invests in new technologies
and tracks new business trends,
and believes that every industry
will increasingly adopt digital
as a key component of its
overall IT solutions and services
expenditure. It defines digital
business as solutions and services
offered to clients through the
fusion of new age technologies
for disruptive business
transformations, including as
part of its Thought Partnership
program. Such transformations
are enabled by creating innovative
business models leading to
enhancing client experiences and
greater operational efficiencies.
Over the past few years, the
Company has aligned its areas
of expertise and have created
focused initiatives in developing
capabilities in emerging
technologies, which it eventually
intends to offer under a specific
brand. The Companys investment
in the digital practice is focused
on providing its clients with
a competitive edge, as well
as giving them a competitive
advantage in the market. Its
digital assets have received
multiple industry recognitions.
Focus on a targeted client
portfolio and higher total contract
values: L&T Infotech continues
building long-term sustainable

L&T Infotechs facility in Bengaluru.

business relationships with

its clients to generate greater
revenues. This involves inter
alia increasing the scope of
engagements with its existing
clients; selling additional services
to them; deploying project
managers, delivery specialists and
other professionals to provide
value-added business solutions;
and eventually become a thought
partner with them in terms of
their existing and future business
needs by identifying priority
solutions in consultation with
industry experts.It has a track
record of high client retention
and as its client relationships
matures and deepens, it seeks
to expand the scope of services
offered to those clients to achieve
incremental revenue growth. Its
ability to establish and strengthen
client relationships and expand
the scope of services it offers to
clients will help grow its revenues
and profits.
The Company is targeting clients
who have the potential to offer

opportunities with large total

contract values. It intends to
originate large engagements by
either identifying opportunities
with its client accounts or by
targeting new clients whose
existing engagements with IT
vendors will be up for renewal.
It plans to achieve a higher
value client portfolio by focusing
on annuity applications and
infrastructure management
service deals, which tend to be
long-term in nature.
Expand focus on infrastructure
management service (IMS)
offerings:
L&T Infotechs IMS service
practice offers a wide spectrum
of end-to-end services covering
IT infrastructure consulting,
design, managed services,
migration services, operational
support, desktop support, and
Cloud enablement, hosting and
migration. It aims to leverage
its Business 1st approach
with respect to IMS, which
provides extensive services to

clients inter alia using application

development, maintenance,
support and testing services,
which collectively help its
clients automate their business
processes through customised
service delivery plans that are
aligned with their business
needs and objectives. Similar
to its approach in relation to
emerging technologies, the
Company has agreements with
a number of players in delivering
its IMS service offerings in a
technologically-agnostic way.
This approach is beneficial to
clients and helps establish its
credibility with them with a view
to eventually becoming their
thought partners and long-term
service providers. In addition, the
Company is currently looking for
strategic acquisition opportunities
in relation to its IMS business. It
is specifically looking to acquire
a complementary business,
technology, service or product
that can provide it with access to
new markets, capabilities or assets
in relation thereto.
Expand geographical presence:
L&T Infotech markets and
distributes its solutions directly
through its global delivery model.
It has historically been dependent
on North America and Europe
for most of its revenues. While it
intends to continue expanding its
presence in the United States and
Europe, it also plans to expand
its geographical reach in other
markets that it has identified
as having potential, including
Australia, Singapore, Japan, South
Africa, India and the Middle East.
It is in the process of augmenting
its teams in these markets to

189

further explore the opportunities

therein.
With respect to the Companys
operations in South Africa, the
Nordic region and the Middle
East, the Company views these
regions as gateways to the rest
of Africa, Eastern Europe/the
Baltic region and the Middle East/
North Africa region, respectively.
As such, it intends to allocate
resources to these markets
not only for pure-play market
opportunities therein, but also
as stepping-stones to other
client opportunities that it can
identify through greater regional
experience, expertise and client
referrals. viz., in South Africa, it
recruits local nationals to assist
in market penetration efforts, in
addition to complying with local
regulatory requirements. In the
Middle East, the Company intends
to leverage the strong presence of
the L&T Group, which is engaged
in the oil and gas, construction
and transportation sectors.
The Company has identified
Germany, France and the
Nordic region as important
markets going forward and
it would like to enhance its
capabilities and address gaps
in language capability, industry
expertise, technical expertise and
geographic coverage in these

190

countries. As such, it is also

currently contemplating pursuing
strategic acquisitions in these
markets.
Focus on greater internal
operational efficiency:
L&T Infotech plans to continue
developing and investing in
frameworks, accelerators,
in-house proprietary solutions and
customised software processes to
drive efficiencies internally. It also
plans to increase its profitability
by streamlining cost structure
with a focus on high employee
utilisation and optimising resource
mix. To this end, business process
digitalisation is important in
streamlining cost structure to
make them more operationally
efficient. It plans to automate
various project delivery processes
as well as internal IT service
processes to enhance human
productivity and once various
tools are developed in relation
thereto, it plans to institutionalise
their usage across its business
units, which will provide them
with the appropriate business
platform to be more efficient.
The company also plans to
introduce specific business
process digitalisation initiatives in
relation to its business verticals
and service lines for them to
realise operational cost savings.

It believes that the foregoing

initiatives will allow them to move
up the value chain with respect to
services offered.
Outlook
Enterprise applications are becoming
increasingly consumer oriented with
mobile and on-the-go applications
delivery mechanism shifting
to cloud-based environment.
Demand for migration, porting
and re-platforming of traditional
on premise application to SaaS
from both clients and ISVs provide
significant opportunity. Agile testing
is growing in acceptance even
though it is yet to fully mature.
Crowd-sourced testing is gaining
popularity and testing automation
as well as data management are
adapting to the new technology
demands. Key drivers for third party
and GICs are cloud based testing,
IP-led testing, testing-as-a-service,
automated testing and testing in
domain-specific niche services along
with transformational programs
using SMAC and IoT.

With the appropriate mix of

initiatives in emerging technologies,
client focus and geography
expansion, L&T Infotech is optimistic
of its prospects in the near to
medium term.

During the year 2015-16, with

deficient monsoons and mounting
delinquencies, the tractor market
posed severe challenge to growth.
Although the tractor market shrank
by 11%, the Companys market
share decreased by 3%. Despite
a strong tie-up with notable
manufacturers, the slowdown in the
tractor market let to this decline in
market share. To counteract this,

the Company focussed on financing

pre-owned tractors and refinancing
opportunities. This constituted more
than 15% of disbursements during
the year. In the area of two-wheeler
loans, while the industry volume
increased by 3% during 2015-16,
the Companys volumes grew by
14%, leading to an increase in its
market share. This performance was
facilitated by better penetration
in existing locations and active
efforts to extend reach to new
markets. In a strategic move, the
Company de-emphasised its focus
on S&LCV and car loans. Given the
extant mismatch in the risk-return
paradigm of these products, the
Company believes that they are not
suited to managements vision of
delivering superior return on equity
to shareholders.
The SME segment, especially the
supply chain segment, has been
fast emerging as another flagship
segment for the Company. During
the year under review, the Company

Corporate & Housing Finance
Business:
The business of the retail platform
including retail, corporate and
housing finance businesses is
carried out by the Companys
wholly-owned subsidiaries, L&T
Finance Limited, Family Credit
Limited and L&T Housing Finance
Limited. These comprise loans
for income generation as well
as for the purchase of consumer
assets, working capital loans for
SMEs, term loans for medium
and large companies, loans under

three parameters influence the
ultimate choice of the Companys
product offerings, for which it has
earned admiration in the wider
marketplace.

L&T Housing Finance fulfills the desire for home ownership in 44 markets across the country.

be able to deliver an enhanced

customer experience. It has already
considerably advanced its credit
delivery processes by developing
parameterised lending models that
ensure a fast turnaround time.
In the mid and large corporate
segment, the Company adopted a
selective strategy for its corporate
loans and leases and offered credit
only to well-rated companies with
tight monitoring of loan usage.
In the Housing Finance
segment, the Company has
undertaken several initiatives with
an objective to diversify distribution
channels, improve customer
experience and overall focus on
process improvement. It also scaled
up the business by increasing
geographical spread as well as
by increasing its market share in
existing markets.
The Microfinance segment is
another flagship business of the
Company. Robust risk control

processes and the ability to

raise liabilities to match growth
aspirations in a timely manner, gives
the Company a unique market
advantage in this segment.
Wholesale Platform:
The Wholesale Platform of the
Company comprises infrastructure
financing and non-infra wholesale
financing through three lending
entities viz. L&T Infrastructure
Finance Company Limited (L&T
Infra Finance), L&T FinCorp
Limited and L&T Infra Debt Fund
Limited (L&T IDF). The Companys
Wholesale Platform offers both
fund based and fee based products
and services. They are designed to
efficiently meet term finance needs
of infrastructure and industrial
projects/ players in India. The
Financial Advisory Services (FAS)
Group provides advisory services to
customers enabling the raising of
debt and equity capital from market
sources. The team also provides
financial structuring solutions to
customers to optimise their capital

and financing structure. The FAS

Group, which has been consistently
stepping up the range and depth
of offerings to clients, works in
close coordination with the Debt
Capital Market (DCM) Desk. The
latter provides structured funding
solutions to select clients in the
form of innovatively structured Non
Convertible Debentures (NCDs)/
Bonds that are initially subscribed
in full by one or more entities
within the Wholesale Platform and
subsequently sold down in smaller
tranches to eligible investors. During
the year, the FAS Group and DCM
Desk together generated an income
of 100 crore by way of fees and
capital gains.
The Wholesale Platform team,
which possesses the requisite skill
set and experience, has over the
years, honed its project appraisal
skills such that it has emerged as a
preferred choice for mid-sized infra
players particularly those setting
up solar and wind power projects.
Its robust, internally developed
risk assessment framework
enables the Platform to offer to
underwrite entire term debt needs
of meritorious renewable power
projects. Given that implementation
timelines for such projects are rather
fine, this offering of one-stop-debt
funding solution with suitably
structured tenors, reflective of
realistic assessment cash-flows
enables the developers compress
their project gestation periods
and thus enhance their equity
returns. Similarly, under L&T IDFs
lead, successfully operating road
projects are offered optimally priced
refinance packages often having
extended tenures that are based
on conservative estimates of the
(residual) economic life of projects.

as compared to 22497 crore for

the corresponding period in the
previous year. This was achieved
through a combination of consistent
fund performance, building scale
in existing product offerings and
improving acceptance in various
distribution channels.
During 2015-16, the Investment
Management business of
the Company continued the
momentum from 2014-15 and
managed to grow at a better
pace than the industry. The
growth was contributed by equity
assets which grew 21% over the
previous year while debt assets grew
at an encouraging 13%.The equity
mix for the company increased to
44% (Equity and Arbitrage) this
year from 42% in the previous
year thereby leading to an increase
in equity market share to 2.59%
from 2.4%. The asset growth and
increase in market share was a
result of strong gross and net sales,
acceptance amongst the investor
community as well as quality fund
performance. The company closed
2015-16 with an overall market
share of 2.01%.

Of particular note is the level of new

business done by the L&T IDF during
the year. Its book has recorded a
sharp growth wherein the business
assets as at March 31, 2016
crossed the 2350 crore mark as
compared to a modest 350 crore
as the end of previous year. This
was attributable inter alia to
more number of operational PPP
projects now becoming eligible
to seek assistance from L&T
IDF consequent to RBIs decision
to include additional sectors that
can be financed by L&T IDF without
execution of a tripartite agreement.
Notwithstanding this liberalised
regulation, it would be L&T IDFs
endeavour to ensure an optimal
blend of operational PPP projects
in its portfolio so as to preserve its
AAA rating.

Consequently, renewable
energy, annuity and toll road and
transmission projects which
constitute the Wholesale Platforms
niche business areas accounted for
a major part of the disbursements
made during 2015-16. Further, the
focus has been on ensuring that
operational projects comprise a
significantly high proportion of total
loan assets so as to contain well the
element of underlying risk in the
portfolio.

L&T Infra Finance has emerged as one of

Indias leading financiers in key sectors,
including renewable energy.

On the assets quality front, the

Wholesale Platforms management
has remained pro-active in dealing
with the stressed assets portfolio.
However, given the rather slow
economic revival coupled with
the highly leveraged position
of promoters/ borrowers, the
challenges being faced by all
lenders are not expected to abate
in the near term. Nevertheless,
the Wholesale Platforms on-going
strategy of pursuing resolutions
through closer co-ordination with
both promoters and co-lenders
such that credit costs are brought
down will be continued.

and investments, providing advice
on financial products and services,
including equities, debt, structured
products, investments in alternate
asset classes etc., to the High Net
Worth Individuals based in the UAE
and the neighbouring countries.
Significant Initiatives:
During the year 2015-16, the
Company undertook several
initiatives with an objective to
enhance market reach and customer
centricity, build scalability, manage
risks effectively, attain process
excellence, business continuity, aid
cost flexibility and result in providing
shareholder their fair returns.
Mobility solutions: Loan
origination and collection
in the Consumer and Auto
Finance as well as Microfinance
business are completely based
on mobility solutions. Loan
origination is carried out
through Android based tablets/
mobile handsets that aim to
drive sales effectiveness through
use of technology for reducing
turnaround time. Collections
are carried out through mobile
phones coupled with thermal
Bluetooth printers to issue
receipts.
A mobile based rule engine, with
a predictable and steady approval
rate, has been developed to
improve TAT. Minimising human
handoff reduces the chances of
error based on minimum human
underwriting interventions.
Productivity, maximising
cost efficiency and customer

convenience as central themes were

embedded into routine business as
well as new initiatives during the
year. Back-office operations are
now consolidated into two hubs
viz. Mumbai and Chennai through
extensive workflow automation and
centralisation to make the branches
hub for sales and service.
Outlook:
Indian rural economy is dependent
on monsoon to a large extent.
With the expectation of a good
monsoon, consensus outlook on
the farm industry remains positive
for the year 2016-17. There is
also a growing trend in the levels
of rural income and therefore,
demand for ownership of personal
vehicles is also rising. The Company
is confident of capitalising the
expectation of growth in rural
economy for its three key retail
products farm equipment
finance, two-wheeler finance and
microfinance. In the infrastructure
space, GOI has taken several steps
to speed up decision making and
fast-tracked project clearances.
Nevertheless, concerns on the asset
quality still remain which may take
several quarters to resolve.
As the norms for recognition of
Non-Performing Assets in the
coming year gets advanced to 120
days of delinquency as against
150 days of delinquency as per RBI
norms, credit costs may remain
elevated in the coming year.
The Financial Service businesses
have implemented a strategy
called Transform. Focus.
Deliver. The crux of the strategy
is to transform the portfolio by
focussing on key businesses in
order to deliver superior returns on

a result, three businesses have
been identified as the key growth
drivers rural finance (farm

against property and developer
finance) and wholesale finance
(infrastructure finance and
structured corporate lending). The

Business Environment:
General insurance industry
(excluding specialised insurers such
as AIC and ECGC) has reported a
growth of 13.63% in the top line
from 80584 crore in 2014-15
to 91564 crore in 2015-16. The
growth in premium has improved
from 9.83% to 13.12% in 2015-16
for private players and from 10.3%
to 12.1% in 2015-16 for PSUs.
The market share of private players
increased marginally from 47%
to 48% in 2015-16. All lines of
the business except Marine and
Fire have shown improvement
in the growth rate compared to
the previous year. Health, PA and
Liability have grown at a higher
rate than the market growth rate.
The motor segment continues to
dominate the market with a 46%
share in the overall premium and
the share of Health has increased
from 25% to 27%. While the
top line grew, profitability of the
industry was negatively impacted by
the devastating floods in Tamilnadu.

Outlook:
With increase in the permissible
FDI under the Insurance
Laws (Amendment) Act 2015, this
year saw many foreign partners
increasing their stake in their
joint ventures, thereby showing
commitment to expand their
presence in India. IRDAI has
issued several regulations
including some revisions aimed
at driving the transparency,
improving accountability,
increasing penetration and
creating a favourable ecosystem
for all the stakeholders. These
regulations amongst others
include regulations on corporate
agency, point of sale person,
insurance marketing firms,
expenses of management,
surveyor and loss assessor,
dismantling of the declined pool,
implementation of Indian accounting
standards etc.

Business Environment
The high economic growth
witnessed by India during the
last decade was accompanied by
realisation of the need for enhanced
investment in infrastructure.
Rapid urbanisation and industrial
growth led to demand for basic
infrastructure such as water supply
and sanitation, transportation
and energy. Rapid growth in
purchasing power in the rural areas
simultaneously meant a need for
improving connectivity and services
for attaining a seamlessly integrated
network of logistics and facilities. In
order to augment economic growth,
the government initiated several
policies and enabling measures to
support the creation of high-quality
infrastructure and efficient delivery
of services to its citizens.
The recent slowdown of PPP
projects could be attributed to a
combination of events, namely
the global economic slowdown,
weak regulatory and institutional
frameworks, delay in issue of
clearances by authorities, financing
issues (over-leveraged debt and
paucity of equity), acquisition
of land, aggressive bidding by

developers, contractual issues,

including long drawn out dispute
resolution arising in a maturing PPP
landscape, inadequate diligence
and appraisal by lenders, and
lack of flexibility in contractual
arrangements.
Road Sector
L&T BPP Tollway Limited (BPP)>
The Beawar - Pali - Pindwara road
in Rajasthan is a mega highway
project covering a stretch of
244.12 Km traversing three districts
in Rajasthan. It provides crucial
connectivity between North India
and Gujarat. BPP achieved COD
on June 11, 2015 for the entire
length. L&T Devihalli Hassan Tollway
Limited (DHTL) has obtained COD
for the residual 2.976 km vide letter
dated October 6, 2015 from the
independent engineer. With this,
the total project length of 77.228
kms is now fully operational and
tolled.
Construction is in full swing on
Deccan Tollways Limited (DTL) in
Telangana and Sambalpur Rourkela
(SRTL) in Odisha. The two road
projects are expected to commence
tolling in the financial year 2017-18.
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad)
Limited
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited
(L&T MRHL) was incorporated on
24th August, 2010 as a special
purpose vehicle to undertake the
business to construct, operate and
maintain the Metro Rail System
including the Transit Oriented
Development in Hyderabad under
Public-Private Partnership model
on Design, Build, Finance, Operate
and Transfer (DBFOT) basis. The
Company entered into a Concession
Agreement with the erstwhile

Government of Andhra Pradesh on

4th September, 2010.
The Metro Rail system is being
constructed on three elevated
corridors from Miyapur to L.B.Nagar,
Jubilee Bus Station to Falaknuma
and from Nagole to Shilparamam
covering a total distance of
71.16 Km. The concession period of
the project is for 35 years including
the initial construction period of
5 years. The concession period is
extendable for a further period of
25 years subject to the fulfillment of
certain conditions by the Company
as set out in the Concession
Agreement.
The estimated project cost is
16375 crore which includes the
cost of rail system and 6 million
Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
which is to be funded by a term
loan of 11478 crore, equity share

capital of 3439 crore and Viability

Gap Fund from Government
of 1458 crore. The Company
has tied up the entire debt and
achieved financial closure on
1st March, 2011.
In terms of the Concession
Agreement, both the Government
of Telangana (State Govt) and
L&T MRHL are required to comply
with certain conditions precedent
for the occurrence of appointed
date which shall be the date for
commencement of concession
period. The State Govt has declared
the appointed date as 5th July,
2012 upon fulfillment of the
condition precedents (CP) from
both the parties i.e., L&T Metro Rail
(Hyderabad) Limited and the State
Govt.
The Company has achieved its
4th Project milestone as per the

Concession Agreement and has

expended 50% of the project
cost by 5th July, 2015. The
Company is executing the project
covering a total distance of 71.16
Km in three different corridors.
This entire distance is further
sub-divided into six stages for
ease of implementation. CMRS
(Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety)
approval has been obtained for
Stage 1 of the project and is fully
ready for commissioning. Stage 2
is expected to be ready by October
2016. The overall physical progress
of the project as at 31st March,
2016 is 61%. Construction works in
Stages 3, 4 and 5 are going on at a
brisk pace.
During the year 2015-16, the
Company successfully obtained
two tranches of Viability Grant
of Funding (VGF) amounting to
around 660 crore from the Central

Government. This confirms the

certainty of Central Government
participating in the project in the
form of VGF.
There is an encouraging
environment for commercial real
estate with a few major IT and IT
enabled companies announcing big
plans during past few months to set
up shops or expand their business
plans. This would help the project
to market its real estate products in
retail and office segments at better
prices.
Significant initiatives:
To provide a safe highway to
users and to reduce maintenance
costs due to overloaded vehicles,
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system
was implemented during December
2015 at L&T BPP Tollway Limited.
This calculates the load of each axle
of the vehicle which moves on the
platform. A penalty is charged at
Pay Axis (Toll Booth) if the vehicle is
found to be overloaded.
Pursuant to the Investment
Agreement of June 2014, the
Canada Pension Plan Investment
Board (CPPIB) made an initial
investment of 1000 crore in L&T
IDPL in December 16, 2014 and
the second tranche of 1000 crore
was made in December 15, 2015 by
way of subscription to compulsorily
convertible preference shares.
The Company has entered into
a Share Purchase Agreement on
April 4, 2016 for sale of its stake
in L&T Infrastructure Development
Projects Lanka (Private) Limited.
The divestment was completed in
May 2016 and has received the sale
proceeds.

204

Outlook:
The recovery in the sector is likely
to be gradual as most players
are still burdened with leveraged
balance sheets even as the volume
of stalled or slow moving projects
remains sizeable. In addition,
aggressive bidding in the past and
inability or limited ability to raise
equity for Build-Operate-Transfer
(BOT) projects have impacted the
viability of infrastructure projects
and reduced the risk appetite
of developers for new projects.
Further, structural constraints like
uncertainty in land acquisition,
delays in approvals and inadequacy
of long-term funding avenues, if
not tackled expeditiously, can slow
down recovery in the infrastructure
sector. The pace of recovery in
the construction sector is likely
to be slow and will be linked to
the ground impact of the policy
measures taken as well as the
availability of funds.
The Group is expecting to improve
toll revenues by replacing the old
tolling system in some of the plazas
with more robust systems and by
implementation of weight-based
tolling in a few more projects.
Improvement in traffic is also
expected on account of the revival
in the economy. However, WPI has
been in the negative territory in
the second year which has led to
reduction in toll rates in some of
the projects. The negative trend in
WPI is expected to partially offset
the benefits accrued from traffic
growth and lower interest costs.
The Company will also actively
participate in policy advocacy to
improve and strengthen the PPP
sector. The Company will continue
to look for opportunity to churn its
portfolio and would refinance some

of the road projects during the year.

Once the termination matters are
resolved, the Company is expected
to participate in the bids coming up
in the road and transmission line
sectors.

Thermal Power Projects Nabha

Power Limited (NPL)
NPL is a 2X700 MW supercritical
thermal power plant at Rajpura,

Punjab. This is the first development

project and the first power plant to
be owned and operated by L&T. All
the power generated from this plant
is contracted with Punjab State
Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL)
for a period of 25 years under a
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The plant is built on super critical
technology of Mitsubishi, Japan. It is
the first Made in India supercritical
power plant to be commissioned
and operational in India.
The plant sources its fuel from
South Eastern Coalfields Ltd.
(Subsidiary of CIL - Coal India
Limited) under a 20 year Fuel Supply
Agreement (FSA). The Company also
secured approvals to arrange coal
from alternative sources to make
up for any shortage in supply of
coal under the FSA. Bhakra-Nangal
distributary is the perennial source
of water for the plant under an
allocation by the state irrigation.
The plant is operated by an in-house
experienced team of operations and
maintenance professionals.
The power plant has been running
successfully for over two years

with a technical plant availability of

over 90%. NPL has been the most
reliable source of power for the
state of Punjab and has supported
the state with an uninterrupted
supply during peak season. NPL
also happens to be the lowest cost
power producer in Punjab with
benchmark operational efficiency
which is amongst the best in the
country.
Business Environment:
Fiscal year 2015-16 witnessed
muted growth in demand for power
with an all India plant load factor
at around 62%. Punjab state also
registered a modest growth in
demand. PSPCL undertook power
banking transactions creating an
additional demand during lean
seasons. Punjab joined Ujwal
DISCOM Assurance Yojana
scheme of the Central Government
during the year. UDAY scheme is
aimed at operational and financial
turnaround of the DISCOMs.
Coal India Limited ended the
financial year with an output of
536.5 million tonnes, 8.6% higher

than preceding year. However,

the output was short of targeted
production by 2.4%. SECL, which
supplies coal to NPL, registered a
production of 135.6 million tonnes
with a growth of 5.8%. Availability
of railway rakes for transportation
of coal from SECL to NPLs plant in
Punjab improved during the year.
Regulatory environment continued
to pose challenges to the IPPs
(Independent power producers)
particularly in tariff related areas.
Significant Milestones &
Initiatives:
91.79% availability achieved
Railway siding operational on 4th
February, 2016
Operational efficiency measures
implemented and monitored to
improve efficiency
Unit start-up procedure optimised
to reduce the time and cost
ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001
certification awarded

The 56.17-km six-lane stretch of NH 8A between Samakhiali and Gandhidham in Gujarat connects the important port towns of Kandla and
Mundra to north India.

 Achieved 87% materialization of

linkage coal during large part of
2015-16
NIL availability loss on account of
shortage of coal
99% of dry fly ash disposal
achieved
Effective financing strategies and
refinancing iterations helped to
maintain Interest costs at sub 9%
CSR initiatives in the area
of development of village
infrastructure, education, skill
building, gender equality,
health and environment were
implemented during the year.
Outlook:
Increased private participation in
the power sector is expected to
play an important role in future
capacity additions. Lower per capita

206

consumption continues to promise

robust long term demand. On the
fuel side coal production capacity
is expected to further increase in
2016-17 up to around 600 million
tonnes registering 11% growth over
the preceding year.
Punjab is expected to witness a flat
growth of around 5% in demand
for electricity during 2016-17. NPL
is likely to remain the lowest cost
power producer amongst the IPPs in
the state which will translate into a
higher plant load factor in fiscal year
2016-17 at around 70%.
Major focus areas for NPL in
coming year are maximising plant
availability, improving operational
efficiency, enhancing fuel quality
and settling the regulatory issues.
Focus area for the hydel business
would be expediting construction
activities at its Singoli-Bhatwari
hydel project.

Financial Review 2015-16

I. L&T CONSOLIDATED
A. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Companys performance during the year has been
satisfactory driven by revenue growth with stable margins
despite testing business conditions characterised by global
slowdown, declining commodity prices, volatile currency
movements and geopolitical uncertainties. Indian economy
though growing at relatively faster pace did not witness
pick up in investment cycle.
The Company has been focusing on conversion of
order book and achieving operational excellence, cash
conservation and monetising Companys non-core assets
to maximise shareholder value.
As at March 31, 2016, L&T Group comprises of 125
subsidiaries, 8 associates and 22 joint venture companies.
Most of the group companies are strategic extensions
of the project and product businesses of L&T. Majority
of the subsidiaries support L&Ts core businesses and
enable access to new geographies, products and business
segments. While certain distinct service businesses
such as Information Technology, Technology Services,
Developmental Projects and Financial Services are housed
in separate subsidiary and associate companies of L&T,
project business catering to the hydrocarbon sector is also
housed in a separate group of companies to provide the
sector specific focus.

20.1% y-o-y, as the investment climate remained subdued

during the year. While capital spending by private sector
was muted on account of lower commodity prices,
weak demand and large excess capacities, investments
in infrastructure development picked up in the second
half of the year. The International segment grew 12.4%
y-o-y and contributed 32.1% of total order wins during
the year as compared to 25.2% in previous year. Order
inflows of Power, Metallurgical & Material Handling and
Heavy Engineering businesses were adversely affected.

segment contributed 75% of the consolidated order
book, comprising mainly Buildings & Factories 22.7%,
Transportation Infrastructure 15.8%, Heavy Civil
Infrastructure 15.3%, Power Transmission & Distribution
12.3% and Water, Smart World & Communication 8.9%.
The order book grew by 7.4% over the previous year.

compared to 27.9% in the previous year.
207

Sales, Administration & Other expenses increased by

12.7% y-o-y to 6138 crore mainly due to higher
provisions towards doubtful debts and non-performing
assets (NPAs) and expenses on account of increased
international business.
The Group operating profit (PBDIT) grew by 9.6% y-o-y at
12343 crore for the year 2015-16, while the operating
margin for the year declined by 20 basis points to 12.0%.
Depreciation & Amortisation charge

Infrastructure segment clocked gross revenue of

50387 crore for the year 2015-16 registering 12.3%
growth over the previous year. Revenue growth was driven

Distribution and Water, Smart World & Communication
businesses on the back of the execution of the jobs from
the opening order book. Revenue from international
operations constituted 28.8% of the total revenues of the
segment during the year as compared to 24.1% in the
previous year.
Infrastructure Segment operating profit was higher by
18.6% y-o-y at 5684 crore for 2015-16. Operating
margins improved by 60 basis points at 11.7% during the

settlement of variation claims.

Segment revenue grew 47.4% y-o-y at 7011 crore, as

the jobs under execution achieved substantial progress
during the year. Revenue from International projects at
1870 crore represented 26.7% of total revenue.
Operating profit margins declined 450 basis points
to 11.6% during the year ended March 31, 2016 as
compared to 16.1% in 2014-15. Drop in margins reflects
changing job mix and the relative status of the stage of
completion of the projects.

The Funds employed by the segment at 18101 crore

as at March 31, 2016 increased by 28.0% vis--vis
March 31, 2015, largely representing net working capital.
2. Power Segment
Power segment bagged orders worth 2702 crore as
compared to 15125 crore in the previous year. The
segment was challenged by intense competition for rather
limited opportunities.
210

The Funds employed by Power segment remains elevated

at 2801 crore as at March 31, 2016 higher by 36.7%
as compared to the position as at March 31, 2015.
This is mainly due to the increase in the construction
work-in-progress, pending completion of contractual
billing milestones.
3. Metallurgical and Material Handling Segment (MMH)

Funds employed by the segment at 3191 crore as at

March 31, 2016 remained at elevated levels due to delay
in collecting milestone payments from customers.
4. Heavy Engineering Segment (HE)
Heavy Engineering segment recorded order inflow of
2295 crore during 2015-16 reflecting a reduction
of 54% y-o-y as domestic order prospects in Process,
Plant & Nuclear (PP&N) and Defence & Aerospace (D&A)
businesses did not materialise. International orders
constituted 62% of the total order inflow.

Order Inflow of 3661 crore for the year was lower

by 40.3% y-o-y due to sluggish domestic business
environment. The soft commodity prices that prevailed
through 2015-16 impacted the Capex outlay of MMH
segment.
MMH segment recorded gross revenue of 2837 crore for
the year ended March 31, 2016, a decline of 17.2% over
the previous year, due to depleted order book and slower
implementation of projects by customers.
The Group Segment operating margins for the year
declined sharply by 500 basis points to 5.5% due to under
recoveries, slower project execution and cost overruns in
certain projects.
211

Reflecting depleted order book, the segment gross revenue

of 3323 crore fell 8.3% compared to the previous year.
Revenue from international operations constituted 42.6%
of the total revenue.
The segment incurred operating loss of 21 crore for
the year against an operating profit of 418 crore in
the previous year, due to cost & time overruns in certain
jobs in PP&N business, provision for debts doubtful of
realisation and continued under-recoveries in Forgings joint
venture.

Segment operating profit for the year fell 9% y-o-y to

646 crore. Consequently operating profit margins
declined by 90 basis points y-o-y to 13.9%. Groups
profitability was adversely impacted by competitive
pressures on pricing and losses incurred by Middle East
subsidiary companies.

6. Hydrocarbon Segment
Funds employed by the segment decreased by 21.5% y-o-y
at 3230 crore as at March 31, 2016 aided by growth in
customer advances and higher vendor credit.
5. Electrical & Automation Segment (E&A)
E&A segment recorded gross revenue of 5446 crore for
2015-16. Stable top line in conditions of weak demand,
tight liquidity and deferment of projects underscored the

international operations continued to be around 31.1%
of the total revenue of the segment, same as compared to
31.8% in the previous year.

212

Hydrocarbon segment secured fresh orders aggregating to

10447 crore during the year maintaining the level similar
to that of the previous year. Low oil prices, geopolitical
uncertainties and currency volatility created a challenging
business environment in which capex investments by oil
producing companies were either slashed or deferred.
Consequently, International orders accounted for 32.8%
of total order inflow for 2015-16 as compared to 64.0% in
the previous year. Big ticket orders for fertilizer plant and
offshore oil field development helped domestic order flows
during the year.

revenue of the segment as compared to 51% in the
previous year.
The segment posted an operating profit of 197 crore as
compared to operating loss of 1128 crore in the previous
year. Close-out costs in international projects coupled with
under-recoveries contained the margin improvement.

The Segment Operating profit rose by 25.2% y-o-y to

1938 crore for the year 2015-16 with operating margin
improvement of 120 basis points on account of higher
manpower utilisation and favorable currency movement.

Funds employed by the segment at 2037 crore as at

Handling had significant decline in the revenue as order
book depleted. Electrical & Automation business witnessed
sluggish industrial demand and has reported marginal
growth in revenue for 2015-16 over the previous year.

L&T has a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management

(ERM) framework in place for identification, assessment,
treatment and reporting of risks. The Companys risk
management processes ensure that the Company accepts
risks as per the boundary conditions based on the risk
appetite of the organisation. The Audit Committee of
the Board oversees the efficacy of the risk management
processes. Business level risks and the mitigation plans for
each vertical are reviewed periodically by the respective
top management/Boards. The Corporate Risk Management
Committee appraises critical risks impacting the Company
and ensures adherence to policies.
The Company is predominantly in project business and
has developed robust project risk management processes.
The key processes include country clearance for entry
into a new country, Pre-bid risk reviews, Execution risk
reviews and project close out risk reviews. Pre-bid reviews
are carried out based on a bid authorisation matrix
as determined by the Risk Management Committees.
Execution risk reviews of the projects are held at regular
intervals for tracking the project performance, movement
of risks in the project and effectiveness of mitigation
measures. Close out risk reviews are held to capture key
learnings from the projects and what went right/wrong
analysis which helps in factoring the learnings in future
bids.
The Company has been conferred the prestigious Golden
Peacock Award for Risk Management for 2015 by the
217

Institute of Directors (IoD) in the Diversified category.

The Company emphasises on continuous learning and
has initiated several knowledge based initiatives to
improve risk awareness across the organization. One such
initiative is launching of an e-learning training program
on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) for employees to
enhance capabilities on risk management which will lead
to better business performance. It covers topics related
to basics of risk management, global risk management
frameworks, processes in L&T, case studies on risk
management etc. Periodic workshops on risk management
are also held across the company to spread awareness &
share learnings.

5.

Other Operational Risks:

a.

Execution challenges: Company faces execution

challenges like geological developments,
availability of work front, land acquisition & right
of way (ROW), pending approvals and clearances
from Government agencies, working in difficult/
harsh weather conditions/terrains, skilled
manpower availability etc. The Company closely
tracks the key risks for each project to effect
timely mitigation.

b.

Partner risks: Company partners with

different contractors (Joint Venture/consortium
projects) across businesses based on technical
requirements/local market conditions. Partners
performance and financial strength is crucial for
project success. Learnings from the past projects
are incorporated in the inter-se agreement with
the partners and clauses on liability of each
partner are carefully drafted after a legal due
diligence.

c.

Working capital challenges: Project delays

and adverse contractual payment terms lead
to increased working capital requirements.
Company has strengthened the process for close
monitoring of cash flows at the project level.
Company ensures regular follow up for delay
in payments by client. Improvement in working
capital is a key lever for achieving better ROE.

d.

Claims management: Company maintains a

strong documentation and follow up with clients/
sub-contractors/vendors for claims that are
submitted. Legal teams and insurance teams are
constantly consulted to ensure a robust process
of claims management.

e.

Talent Management: It is critical to fill

leadership roles in every project being executed
by the Company. Proper processes are in place
across the Company for hiring the best talent
across the Company and suitable retention
policies are constantly reviewed to minimise
attrition.

The top Enterprise level risks for the Company and the
mitigation measures being implemented are:

4.

218

Slow recovery of key sectors: Growth in some of

the sectors like Power, Metals & Minerals etc. has
been hampered by a number of constraints like fuel
shortages, environmental clearances, restrictions on
mining etc. Being a diversified conglomerate helps
mitigate the risk of such slowdown in some sectors as
we see compensating growth in certain other sectors.
Government initiatives like Project UDAY, Make in
India, revised Defence Procurement Policy (DPP),
renewed impetus to Infrastructure sector namely
roads and railways provide growth opportunities in
the near future.
Fall in oil price: It has resulted in budget constraints
in Middle Eastern Countries leading to decline/delay in
investment with some projects being put on hold. The
Company has started focusing on domestic business
and selectively foraying into new markets like Africa &
South East Asia.
Reputation and Brand: Corporate Governance and
Compliance policy is in place mandating adherence
to Code of conduct and Internal Controls. Regular
knowledge sharing across the organisation and review
& upgradation of appropriate controls ensure the
same.
Competition: It has been observed that competition
from foreign and domestic players has considerably
increased in the past few years. The Companys
engineering, procurement, and construction business
derives its competitive strength from its excellence
in executing projects of varying sizes, reputation for
quality, technology, cost-effectiveness and project
management expertise. This helps in gaining an edge
over competition.

The Company has institutionalised the risk

management processes to map and monitor the
risks across the businesses and respond effectively to
achieve the strategic objectives. The Company has
been successful in tapping the opportunities both in
domestic and international markets. The Company
sees risk management as a business enabler and
believes that risk is an integral part of every business

and promotes a culture of building the ability to

anticipate and manage risks effectively and converting
them into opportunities.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Capital Structure, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risks
The Company continues its policy of maintaining a
conservative capital structure which has ensured that it
retains the highest credit rating even amidst an adverse
economic environment. Low gearing levels also equip the
Company with the ability to navigate business stresses
on one hand and raise growth capital on the other. This
policy also provides flexibility of fund raising options for
future, which is especially important in times of global
economic volatility. Given the continuing tough economic
conditions in 2015-16, there has been an increase in the
working capital levels of the Company. The Company has
been investing capital into subsidiaries as scheduled and in
some cases to provide for deficits caused by the economic/
business/performance downturn, and also to optimise
overall Group interest rate risks and costs. The Company
continues to maintain adequate liquidity to deal with
economic cycles.
The Company judiciously deploys its periodical surplus
funds in short term investments in line with the corporate
treasury policy. The Company constantly monitors the
liquidity levels, economic and capital market conditions
and maintains access to the lowest cost of sourcing
liquidity through banking lines, trade finance and capital
markets. In line with above, the Company continued to
use a mix of short term and long term funding sources
for its working capital funding. The Company further
optimised the cost of debt by using subsidised export
financing scheme of RBI and issuing more of short dated
CPs. The Company dynamically manages interest rate
risks through a mix of fund raising products, investment
products and derivative products across maturity
profiles and currencies within a robust risk management
framework.
Foreign Exchange and Commodity Price Risks
The various businesses of the Company are exposed to
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity
prices. Additionally, it has exposures to foreign currency
denominated financial assets and liabilities. The business
related financial risks, especially involving commodity
prices, by and large, are managed contractually through
price variation clauses, while the foreign exchange
and residual commodity price risks are managed by an
appropriate choice of treasury products for balancing risks
and at the same time optimising the hedging costs.

The financial year 2015-16 was characterised by a

strong USD against most of the asset classes (currency /
commodities) as well as increased volatility on account
of sharp movements in commodity prices and Asian
currencies including more particularly the Chinese Yuan.
The rupee moved from 62.50 to 68.80 per US Dollar
during the year though it ended the year at 66.25. In spite
of the two way exchange rate volatility, the impact on the
Company was, however, muted given the robust financial
risk management process in place. Benign commodity
prices along with the analytical risk management
framework has benefited the Company.
IV. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Company continued its efforts in providing an
effective internal control environment where ethical
behavior, accountability, controls and assurance are
practiced. The Company has a robust framework for
Internal Controls, commensurate with the size and
complexity of its business. There is a system of periodically
apprising the senior management and the Audit
Committee of the Board on the internal processes of
the Company with respect to Internal Financial Controls,
Statutory Compliances and Assurance. Employees are
guided by the Companys Code of Conduct. The
Companys Whistle Blower policy enables the employees
to have direct access to the members of the Board of
Directors without interference from management.
Increasing focus on control and compliance requirements
under the Companies Act, 2013 and the new SEBI (Listing
Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
have led to reviewing the control design and effectiveness
across the organisation. The Company has laid down
Internal Financial Controls as detailed in the Companies
Act, 2013. These have been established at the entity and
process levels and are designed to ensure compliance
to internal control requirements, regulatory compliance
and appropriate recording of financial and operational
information. The Company has reviewed and ensured
sustained effectiveness of internal financial controls by
adopting a systematic approach to assess design and
operating effectiveness.
Heads of businesses and support functions are primarily
responsible for design, establishment of internal controls
and its operating effectiveness in their respective areas.
Operating framework and procedures are in place in
individual businesses of the Company in the form of
Internal Control Manuals, Standard Operating Procedures,
Accounting Guidelines and Authorisation Matrix for
financial transactions including regular management
reporting and monitoring thereof. Policies and procedures

219

are reviewed periodically and updated to factor in changes

in business processes as well as improvements necessitated
to strengthen the internal control systems.
Internal Control department at the corporate formulates
procedures and guidelines for areas of weaknesses
which are identified during internal audit or as triggered
by process owners or management based on internal
or external risk factors. The Company also periodically
engages independent professional firms to carry out
review of effectiveness of various control processes in
businesses and support functions.
The assurance function is carried out by the Corporate
Audit Services (CAS) which makes independent assessment
by conducting audit of all units of the Company and its
major subsidiaries at regular intervals. The audit inter alia
covers assessment of financial and operational efficiency
as part of the process. Further, it conducts operating
effectiveness testing of the internal financial controls with
the objective of providing an independent and reasonable
assurance to the Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors. The entire process is reviewed periodically by
the senior management and the Audit Committee which
oversees the internal audit function.
The Company continually aligns to the best practices in the
areas of control and compliance, to ensure high standards
of governance in both domestic and international
businesses.
V. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Company recognises the strategic imperative of
Information Technology (IT) for efficient conduct of its

220

business operations. The Company leverages IT as a key

enabler to improve productivity through collaboration
and integrate internal controls with business processes.
The Company implemented Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) and other solutions to run the various business
processes. Niche bolt on systems are being deployed for
Vendor Invoice Management, CRM on cloud, Advance
Planning and Optimisation to provide edge to Business.
Simultaneously, IT infra is continuously upgraded to deploy
the latest and best in class IT assets and technology. The
Company has initiated various Digital & IoT projects, in
the areas of risk mitigation and manufacturing to make its
business processes LEAN and contribute to the Companys
bottom line in todays ever challenging business scenario.
L&Ts dedicated Cloud infrastructure, created a few years
ago, is widely deployed across the Group companies. The
Company has taken steps to embrace Public Cloud, and
the latest office automation and collaboration applications
are being rolled out.
The Company has Disaster Recovery (DR) systems which
rescued the businesses from disruptions during the heavy
rains in Chennai in December 2015.
The Company has a program to do a comprehensive
review of its security systems and processes to address
growing IT/cyber security threats. The corporate IT function
of the Company has acquired Certification of ISO 27001
for Information Security Management. ISO 27001 (formally
known as ISO/IEC 27001:2005) is a specification for an
information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS
is a framework of policies and procedures that includes
all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an

222

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were
operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the
Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend
on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that
the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects,
an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were
operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company
considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Notes: The fair value of the plan assets under the trust-managed provident fund plan has been determined at amounts
based on their value at the time of redemption, assuming a constant rate of return to maturity.
*

Basis used to determine the overall expected return:

The trust formed by the Company manages the investments of provident funds and gratuity fund. Expected return on
plan assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its
existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in
the portfolio during the year. [Note Q(8)(ii)(f)(7)] infra.
The Company expects to fund 32.31 crore (previous year: 60.06 crore) towards its gratuity plan and
(previous year: 67.07 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2015-16.

General descriptions of defined benefit plans:

1. Gratuity plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent
to fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service
or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. The Companys scheme
is more favorable as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. A small part of the gratuity
plan, which is not material is unfunded and managed within the Company. The unfunded obligation towards
gratuity also includes gratuity payable to employees outside India under the applicable local laws.
2.

Post-retirement medical benefit plan:

The post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of
the employee at the time of retirement.

3.

Companys pension plan:

In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Company operates a post-retirement
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends
on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement.

4.

Trust-managed provident fund plan:

The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its employees which is permitted
under the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution
by employer and employees and guarantees interest at the rate notified by the provident fund authority. The
contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or
retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the
interest income on long term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest
obligation is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising
out of the investment risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognised as expense or income in
the period in which such loss/gain occurs. Further, the provision of 4.86 crore as on March 31, 2015 based on
actuarial valuation towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan has
been reversed in the current year as the balance in surplus account of the fund is higher than the interest obligation
of 9.87 crore as on March 31, 2016.

3.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised based on nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable
certainty of its recovery.
A.

Revenue from operations

a.

Sales & Service

i.

Sales and service include excise duty and adjustments made towards liquidated damages and price variation,
wherever applicable. Escalation and other claims, which are not ascertainable/acknowledged by customers, are not
taken into account.

ii.

Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.

iii.

Revenue from property development activity which are in substance similar to delivery of goods is recognised when
all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a
reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
Revenue from those property development activities which have the same economic substance as that of a
construction contract is recognised based on the Percentage of completion method (POC) when the outcome of a
real estate project can be estimated reliably upon fulfillment of all the following conditions:
a.

All critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained;

b.

When the stage of completion of the project reaches a reasonable level of development i.e., contract costs
for work performed bears a reasonable proportion to the estimated total contract costs. For this purpose,
a reasonable level of development is treated as achieved only if the cost incurred (excluding cost of land/
developmental rights and borrowing cost) is atleast 25% of the total of such cost;

c.

Atleast 25% of the saleable project area is secured by contracts or agreements with buyers;

d.

Atleast 10% of the total revenue as per the agreements of sale or any other legally enforceable documents are
realised at the reporting date in respect of each of the contracts and it is reasonable to expect that the parties
to such contracts will comply with the payment terms as defined in the contracts.

The costs incurred on property development activities are carried as Inventories till such time the outcome of the
project cannot be estimated reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled. When the outcome of the project
can be ascertained reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled, revenue from property development activity
is recognised at cost incurred plus proportionate margin, using percentage of completion method. Percentage of
completion is determined based on the proportion of actual cost incurred to the total estimated cost of the project.
For this purpose, actual cost includes cost of land and developmental rights but excludes borrowing cost.
Expected loss, if any, on the project is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of
the stage of completion of the contract.
iv.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant &
equipment is recognised as follows:
a.

Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin
as agreed with the customer.

b.

Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of cost incurred till such time the
outcome of the job cannot be ascertained reliably. When the outcome of the contract is ascertained reliably,
contract revenue is recognised at cost of work performed on the contract plus proportionate margin, using
the percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed
to-date, to the total estimated contract costs.

ii.

Defined benefit plans: The employees gratuity fund schemes, post-retirement medical care scheme, pension scheme and
provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Companys defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation
under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining
the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on government securities of a
maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the related obligations at the Balance Sheet date.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present
value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated
between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability
for each period.

ii.

Assets given under a finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
Lease income is recognised over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in

304

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
ii.

Assets carried at historical cost:

Depreciation on assets carried at historical costs is provided on straight line method on the basis of useful life as
specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets where the useful life was
determined by technical evaluation. The carrying amount of the assets as on April 1, 2014 is depreciated over the
remaining useful life. Where the useful life of the asset has expired, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2014 has been
charged to the retained earnings as on April 1, 2014.
Where cost of a part of the asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part
is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and
such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life. In respect of asset components, whose useful life has
expired as on April 1, 2015, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2015 has been charged to the retained earnings as on
April 1, 2015.

b.

iii.

Depreciation for additions to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata. Extra shift depreciation is provided on
a location basis.

iv.

Depreciation charge for impaired assets is adjusted in future periods in such a manner that the revised carrying amount
of the asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.

Leased assets:
i.

Lease transactions entered into prior to April 1, 2001:

Lease charge comprising statutory depreciation and lease equalisation charge is provided for assets given on lease
over the primary period of the lease equal to recovery of net investment in the lease. Accordingly, while the statutory
depreciation on such assets is provided for on straight line method as per Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, the
difference is adjusted through lease equalisation and lease adjustment account.

ii.

Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Where there is
reasonable certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets are
depreciated based on the useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or based on the useful life
adopted by the Company for similar assets.

iii.

Leasehold land
Land acquired under long term lease is classified under tangible assets and is depreciated over the period of lease.

life as follows:
a.

Specialised software: over a period of six years.

b.

Technical know-how: over a period of six years in case of foreign technology and three years in the case of indigenous
technology.

c.

Development costs for new products: over a period of five years.

Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of intangible assets are
allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as intangible assets under
development. Amortisation on impaired assets is provided by adjusting the amortisation charges in the remaining periods so as to
allocate the assets revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

305

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
11. Impairment of assets
As at each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested for impairment so as to determine:
a.

the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

b.

the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous periods, if any.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is
determined:
a.

in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use;

b.

in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of
the cash generating units net selling price and the value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its
disposal at the end of its useful life).
12. Investment
Trade investments comprise investments in subsidiary companies, joint ventures, associate companies and in the entities in which
the Company has strategic business interest.
Investments, which are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition, are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments.
Long term investments including trade investments are carried at cost, after providing for any diminution in value, if such
diminution is other than temporary in nature. Investments in integrated joint ventures are carried at cost net of adjustments for
Companys share in profits or losses as recognised.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. The determination of carrying amount of such investments is done
on the basis of weighted average cost of each individual investment.
Purchase and sale of investments are recognised based on the trade date accounting.
13. Inventories
Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:
a.

Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net
realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be
used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

b.

Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of weighted average cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In
some cases, manufacturing work-in-progress are valued at lower of specifically identifiable cost or net realisable value. In the
case of qualifying assets, cost also includes applicable borrowing costs vide policy relating to borrowing costs.

c.

Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net
realisable value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/ payable on such goods.

d.

Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of specifically
identifiable cost or net realisable value.

to borrowings, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings, to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventorised
as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that
necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised
as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
17. Employee stock ownership schemes
In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Companys Stock Options Scheme, the intrinsic value of the options (excess of
market price of the share over the exercise price of the option) is treated as discount and accounted as employee compensation
cost over the vesting period. The amount recognised as expense each year is arrived at based on the number of grants expected to
vest. If a grant lapses after the vesting period, the cumulative discount recognised as expense in respect of such grant is transferred
to the general reserve.
18. Foreign currency transactions, foreign operations, forward contracts and derivatives
a.

The reporting currency of the Company is Indian rupee.

b.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items, carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction.
Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet
date at the closing rate are:
i.

adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed by the borrowings contracted up to March 31, 2004 to which
the exchange differences relate

ii.

adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed by borrowings contracted between the period April 1, 2004 to
March 31, 2007 and to which the exchange differences relate, provided the assets are acquired from outside India

d.

Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted prior to April 1, 2004, are translated as follows:
i.

Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year.

ii.

Fixed assets as at April 1, 1991 at rates prevailing at the end of the year in which the additions were made. Subsequent
additions are at rates prevailing on the dates of the additions. Depreciation is accounted at the same rate at which the
assets are translated.

iii.

Other assets and liabilities at rates prevailing at the end of the year.

iv.

Net revenues at the average rate for the year.

Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted on or after April 1, 2004, are treated as integral

307

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
e.

Forward contracts, other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted firm commitments or highly
probable forecast transactions, are treated as foreign currency transactions and accounted accordingly as per Accounting
Standard (AS) 11 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Exchange differences arising on such contracts are
recognised in the period in which they arise.
Gains and losses arising on account of roll over/cancellation of such forward contracts are recognised as income /expense of
the period in which such roll over/cancellation takes place.

f.

All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted
firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the financial statements at fair value as on
the Balance Sheet date, in pursuance of the announcement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated
March 29, 2008 on accounting of derivatives. In addition, the derivative arrangements embedded in the contracts entered in
the course of business are accounted separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not
closely related to economic characteristics and risks of the host contract.
The Company has adopted Accounting Standard (AS) 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for
accounting of such derivative contracts, not covered under Accounting Standard (AS) 11 The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates, as mandated by the ICAI in the aforesaid announcement.
Accordingly, the resultant gains or losses on fair valuation/settlement of the derivative contracts (including embedded
derivatives) covered under Accounting Standard (AS) 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss or Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge
effectiveness. Where the hedge in respect of off-balance sheet items is effective, the gains or losses are recognised in the
hedging reserve which forms part of reserves and surplus in the Balance Sheet. The amount recognised in the hedging
reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains or losses in respect of ineffective hedges are recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss in the period in which such gains or losses are incurred.

g.

The premium paid/received on a foreign currency forward contract is accounted as expense/income over the life of the
contract.

ANNEXURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph f under Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2016,
we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Larsen & Toubro Limited (hereinafter referred to as the
Holding Company) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the Group), its associates
and jointly controlled entities incorporated in India, as of that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiaries, its associates and jointly controlled entities incorporated in
India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the Group considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities
include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring
the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective groups policies, the safeguarding of its assets,
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation
of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the
Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend
on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the subsidiaries,
associates and joint controlled entities, incorporated in India, in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below,

314

is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial
reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that
the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Holding Company, its subsidiaries,
its associates and jointly controlled entities incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at
March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls
over financial reporting insofar as it relates to 24 subsidiaries and 3 associates incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding
reports of the other auditors of such companies incorporated in India.
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls
over financial reporting insofar as it relates to 1 subsidiary and 2 associates incorporated in India, whose financial statements / financial
information are unaudited and our opinion on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial
reporting of the Group is not affected as these financial statements / financial information are not material to the Group.

Notes: The fair value of the plan assets under the trust managed provident fund plan has been determined at amounts
based on their value at the time of redemption, assuming a constant rate of return to maturity.
*
Basis used to determine the overall expected return:
The trust formed by the Company manages the investments of provident funds and gratuity fund. Expected return
on plan assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected
on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective
assets in the portfolio during the year. [Note 10(ii)(f)(7)] infra.
The Company expects to fund 66.85 crore (previous year: 91.43 crore) towards its gratuity plan and
145.15 crore (previous year: 198.84 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year
2015-16.

General descriptions of defined benefit plans:

1.

Gratuity plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent
to fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service
or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. The companys scheme is
more favourable as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. A small part of the gratuity
plan, which is not material is unfunded and managed within the Company. The unfunded obligation towards
gratuity also includes gratuity payable to employees outside India under the applicable local laws.

2.

Post-retirement medical care plan:

The Post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of
the employee at the time of retirement.

3.

Companys pension plan:

In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Company operates a post retirement
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends
on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement.

4.

Trust managed provident fund plan:

The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its employees which is permitted
under the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution by employer
and employees and guarantees interest at the rate notified by the provident fund authority. The contribution by
employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement
whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the
interest income on long term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest
obligation is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out
of the investment risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognised as expense or income in the
period in which such loss/gain occurs. Further, an amount of 9.87 crore (previous year: provision of 28.80 crore)
has been reversed based on actuarial valuation towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee
associated with the plan.

Q(21) One of the subsidiaries, which has been awarded a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project for construction of a bypass toll
road and a bridge over the River Noyyal in Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu State, under the Concession Agreement dated
October 3, 1997, had received a termination notice from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India,
(MORTH). The ground of termination was Government of Indias subsequent intention to go for four-laning of the existing
two lane road. The subsidiary had obtained injunction from Delhi High Court against the said notice of the Government and
is accordingly continuing to collect the toll. The tolling rights of the subsidiary are protected under the aforesaid concession
agreement.
The subsidiary had also filed an application opting for arbitration for resolution of disputes and an Arbitral Tribunal had been
constituted as provided in the concession agreement. The Arbitral Tribunal has pronounced the award on December 12, 2014 in
favour of the Company. The Tribunal has also awarded, interalia, compensation to be paid to the Company for loss of revenue at
Athupalam Bridge and suitable extension of the concession period.
The MORTH has challenged the award of March 12, 2015 seeking stay of the aforesaid Tribunal award before the Delhi High
Court. Since the matter is sub-judice, the compensation has not been recognised in the financial statements.
Q(22) There are no amounts due and outstanding to be credited to Investor Education & Protection Fund as at March 31, 2016.

Third Party Insurance Pool (IMTPIP) during the year. Reinsurance premium ceded is accounted in the year in which
the risk commences and over the period of risk in accordance with the treaty arrangements with the reinsurers.
Reinsurance premium ceded on unearned premium is carried forward to the period of risk and is set off against
related unearned premium. Premium on excess of loss reinsurance cover is accounted as per the terms of the
reinsurance arrangements.
Commission on reinsurance ceded is recognised as income on ceding of reinsurance premium.
Profit commission under reinsurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognised in the year of final determination
of the profits.
Claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding claims made following a loss occurrence
reported and estimated liability for claims Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) and claims Incurred But Not Enough
Reported (IBNER). Further, claims incurred also include specific claim settlement costs such as survey/legal fees and
other directly attributable costs.
Claims (net of amounts receivable from reinsurers/co-insurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on
estimates from surveyors/insured in the respective revenue accounts. Estimated liability for outstanding claims at
Balance Sheet date is recorded net of claims recoverable from/payable to co-insurers/reinsurers and salvage to the
extent there is certainty of realisation. Estimated liability for outstanding claims is determined by management on
the basis of ultimate amounts likely to be paid on each claim based on the past experience. These estimates are
progressively revalidated on availability of further information. IBNR represents that amount of claims that may have
been incurred during the accounting period but have not been reported or claimed. IBNR provision also includes

378

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
provision, if any, required for claims IBNER. Estimated liability for claims Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) and
claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER) is based on actuarial estimate duly certified by the appointed
actuary of the Company. IBNR/IBNER has been created on reinsurance accepted from Indian Motor Third Party
Insurance Pool (IMTPIP) based on actuarial estimates received from the IMTPIP.
b.

Other operational revenue

Other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised
when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

B.

4.

Other income
a.

Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.

b.

Dividend income is accounted in the period in which the right to receive the same is established.

c.

Other Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the related costs, are
recognised as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the matching costs are incurred.

d.

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises.

Principles of consolidation
a.

The financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding
together the book values of the like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after eliminating intra-group balances
and the unrealised profits/losses on intra-group transactions, and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as
the Parent Companys independent financial statements.

b.

Investments in associate companies have been accounted for, by using equity method whereby investment is initially recorded
at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted thereafter for post-acquisition change in the Companys share of net assets
of the associate. The carrying amount of investment in associate companies is reduced to recognise any decline which is
other than temporary in nature and such determination of decline in value, if any, is made for each investment individually.
The unrealised profits/losses on transactions with associate companies are eliminated by reducing the carrying amount of
investment.

c.

Goodwill on consolidation represents the difference between the Groups share in the net worth of a subsidiary, an
associate or a joint venture, and the cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary, the
associate or the joint venture as per Accounting Standard (AS) 21 Consolidated Financial Statements. For this purpose,
the Groups share of net worth is determined on the basis of the latest financial statements, prior to the acquisition, after
making necessary adjustments for material events between the date of such financial statements and the date of respective
acquisition. Capital reserve on consolidation represents negative goodwill arising on consolidation. Goodwill arising on
consolidation as per Accounting Standard (AS) 21 Consolidated Financial Statements is not amortised, however, it is tested
for impairment. In the event of cessation of operations of a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the unimpaired goodwill is
written off fully.

d.

Minority interest represents that part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests which
are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Further, Preference shares issued by the subsidiaries to stakeholders
outside the Group together with dividend accruals thereon also form part of minority interest in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

e.

The gains/losses in respect of part dilution of stake in subsidiary companies pursuant to issue of additional shares to minority
shareholders are recognised directly in capital reserve under reserves and surplus in the Balance Sheet. The gains/losses in
respect of part divestment of stake in subsidiary companies pursuant to sale of shares by the holding company are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

379

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
f.
The Companys interests in joint ventures are consolidated as follows:
Type of joint venture
Jointly controlled operations
Jointly controlled assets

Jointly controlled entities

Accounting treatment
Companys share of revenues, common expenses, assets and liabilities are included in
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities respectively.
Share of the assets, according to nature of the assets, and share of the liabilities are shown
as part of gross block and liabilities respectively. Share of expenses incurred on maintenance
of the assets is accounted as expense. Monetary benefits, if any, from use of the assets are
reflected as income.
The Companys interest in jointly controlled entities are proportionately consolidated on
a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses, after eliminating the unrealised profits/losses on intra-group transactions.

Joint venture interests accounted as above are included in the segments to which they relate.
5.

Extraordinary and exceptional items

Income or expenses that arise from events or transactions that are clearly distinct from the ordinary activities of the Company are
classified as extraordinary items. Specific disclosure of such events/transactions is made in the financial statements. Similarly, any
external event beyond the control of the Company, significantly impacting income or expense, is also treated as extraordinary item
and disclosed as such.
On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the
Company, is such that its disclosure improves an understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is
classified as an exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts.

6.

Research and development

a.

Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.

b.

Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:
i.

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

ii.

The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it

iii.

The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset

iv.

The manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for

v.

The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset and

vi.

The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably

The development expenditure capitalised as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.
Other development costs that do not meet above criteria are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
7.

Employee benefits
a.

Short term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee
benefits. The benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
ii.
Defined benefit plans: The employees gratuity fund schemes, post-retirement medical care scheme, pension scheme
and provident fund scheme managed by trust are the Companys defined benefit plans. The present value of the
obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit
Method.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on government
securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the related obligations at the
Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The interest element in the actuarial valuation of defined benefit plans, which comprises the implicit interest cost and
the impact of changes in discount rate, is classified under finance cost and balance charge is recognised as employee
benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced
from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or
settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the
benefits become vested.
c.

Long term employee benefits:

The obligation for long term employee benefits such as long term compensated absences, long service award etc. is
recognised in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b)(ii) supra.

d.

Termination benefits:
Termination benefits such as compensation under voluntary retirement cum pension scheme are recognised as expense in the
period in which they are incurred.

8.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative
impairment and those which were revalued as on October 1,1984 are stated at the values determined by the valuers less
accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment. Assets acquired on hire purchase basis are stated at their cash values.
Specific know-how fees paid, if any, relating to plant & equipment is treated as part of cost thereof.
Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to construction or acquisition of fixed assets
or bringing the fixed assets to working condition are allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the fixed assets.
Own manufactured assets are capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads.
Tangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
(Also refer to policy on leases, borrowing costs, impairment of assets and foreign currency transactions infra).

The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of
inception.
a.

Lease transactions entered into prior to April 1, 2001:

Assets leased out are stated at original cost. Lease equalisation adjustment is the difference between capital recovery included
in the lease rentals and depreciation provided in the books of account. Lease rentals in respect of assets acquired under leases
are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b.

Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:

Finance leases:
i.

Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present
value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated

381

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability
for each period.
ii.

Assets given under leases where the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to
lessee, are classified as finance leases. Where under a contract, the Company has agreed to manufacture/construct an
asset and convey, in substance, a right to the beneficiary to use the asset over a major part of its economic life, for a
pre-determined consideration, such arrangement is also accounted as finance lease.

iii.

Assets given under a finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
Wherever the asset is manufactured/constructed by the Company, the fair value of the asset, representing the net
investment in the lease, is recognised as sales revenue in accordance with the Companys revenue recognition policy.
Lease income is recognised over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in
the lease.

iv.

Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Operating leases:
i.

Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are

Revalued assets:
Depreciation on assets carried at revalued amount i.e., values determined by valuers is provided on straight line
method on the basis of useful life as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of
certain assets where the useful life was determined by technical evaluation.
With effect from April 1, 2015, the difference between depreciation provided on revalued amount and on historical
cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

ii.

Assets carried at historical cost:

Depreciation on assets carried at historical cost is provided on straight line method on the basis of useful life as
specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets where the useful life was
determined by technical evaluation. The carrying amount of the assets as on April 1, 2014 is depreciated over the
remaining useful life. Where the useful life of the asset has expired, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2014 has
been charged to the retained earnings as on April 1, 2014.
Where cost of a part of the asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of
that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined
separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life. In respect of asset components,
whose useful life has expired as on April 1, 2015, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2015 has been charged to the
retained earnings as on April 1, 2015.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
b. Leased assets
i.

Lease transactions entered into prior to April 1, 2001:

Lease charge comprising statutory depreciation and lease equalisation charge is provided for assets given on
lease over the primary period of the lease equal to recovery of net investment in the lease. Accordingly, while the

Act, 2013, the difference is adjusted through lease equalisation and lease adjustment account.

ii.

Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Where there is
reasonable certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such
assets are depreciated based on the useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or based
on the useful life adopted by the Company for similar assets.

iii.

Leasehold improvements:
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease.

iv.

Leasehold land:
Land acquired under long term lease is classified under tangible assets and is depreciated over the period of
lease.

B.

Foreign companies
Depreciation has been provided on methods and at the rates required/permissible by the local laws so as to write off the
assets over their useful lives.

11. Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortisation and cumulative
impairment. Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised as follows:
a.

Specialised software: over a period of three to ten years;

b.

Technical know-how: over a period of three to seven years;

c.

Development costs for new products: over a period five years;

d.

Customer contracts and relationships: over a period of seven to ten years;

e.

Toll collection rights obtained in consideration for rendering construction services represent the right to collect toll revenue
during the concession period in respect of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects undertaken by the Group. Toll collection
rights are capitalised as intangible asset upon completion of the project at the cumulative construction costs including
related margins (refer to policy on revenue recognition supra) plus obligation towards negative grants payable to National
Highway Authority of India (NHAI), if any. Till the completion of the project, the same is recognised as intangible assets under
development. The revenue towards collection of toll/other income during the period of construction is reduced from the cost
of intangible asset under development.
Toll collection rights in respect of road projects are amortised over the period of concession using the revenue based
amortisation method prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Under the revenue based amortisation
method, amortisation is provided based on proportion of actual revenue earned till the end of the year to the total projected
revenue from the intangible assets expected to be earned over the concession period. Total projected revenue is reviewed at
the end of each financial year and is adjusted to reflect changes in earlier estimate vis--vis the actual revenue earned till the
end of the year so that the whole of the cost of the intangible asset is amortised over the concession period.

f.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred for potential mineral reserves is recognised and reported as part of
intangible assets under development under intangible assets when such costs are expected to be either recouped in

383

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
full through successful exploration and development of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or when exploration
and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the
existence or otherwise of economically available reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are
continuing or are planned for the future. Exploration assets are re-assessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried
forward provided that at least one of the conditions outlined above is met. All other exploration and evaluation expenditure is
recognised as expense in the period in which it is incurred.
g.

Utility right to use costs are amortised over the period of agreement to use, but not exceeding 10 years.
Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of intangible assets are
allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as intangible assets under
development.
Amortisation on impaired assets is provided by adjusting the amortisation charges in the remaining periods so as to allocate
the assets revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

12. Impairment of assets

As at each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested for impairment so as to determine:
a.

the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

b.

the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous periods, if any.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
a.

in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use;

b.

in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of
the cash generating units net selling price and the value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its
disposal at the end of its useful life).
13. Investments
Trade investments comprise investments in entities in which the Company has strategic business interest.
Investments, which are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition, are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments.
Long term investments (other than associates) including trade investments are carried at cost, after providing for any diminution in
value, if such diminution is other than temporary in nature.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. The determination of carrying amount of such investments is done
on the basis of weighted average cost of each individual investment.
Investment in associate companies is accounted using equity method [Note R(4)(b)]. Purchase and sale of investments are
recognised based on the trade date accounting.
14. Inventories
Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:
a.

384

Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of cost or net realisable value.
However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished goods in which they will be used, are expected to
be sold at or above cost;

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
b.

Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In some cases,
manufacturing work-in-progress is valued at lower of specifically identifiable cost or net realisable value. In the case of
qualifying assets, cost also includes applicable borrowing costs vide policy relating to borrowing costs;

c.

Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost
includes related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods; and

d.

Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of specifically
identifiable cost or net realisable value.

Cost of inventories is computed either on a weighted average or on First-in-First-out (FIFO) basis.

15. Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and other bank
balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being not free from more than insignificant risk

Borrowing costs include interest, commitment charges, amortisation of ancillary costs, amortisation of discounts/premium related
to borrowings, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings, to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventorised
as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that
necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised
as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
19. Employee stock ownership schemes
In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Companys Stock Options Scheme, the intrinsic value of the options (excess of
market price of the share over the exercise price of the option) is treated as discount and accounted as employee compensation
cost over the vesting period. The amount recognised as expense each year is arrived at based on the number of grants expected to
vest. If a grant lapses after the vesting period, the cumulative discount recognised as expense in respect of such grant is transferred
to the general reserve.
20. Foreign currency transactions, foreign operations, forward contracts and derivatives
a.

The reporting currency of the Company is Indian Rupee.

b.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, using the exchange rate at the date

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
Non-monetary items, carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction.
Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet
date at the closing rate are:

c.

i.

adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed by the borrowings contracted upto March 31, 2004 to which the
exchange differences relate;

ii.

adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed by borrowings contracted between the period April 1, 2004 to
March 31, 2007 and to which the exchange differences relate, provided the assets are acquired from outside India;

iii.

recognised as income or expense in the period in which they arise, in cases other than (i) and (ii) supra.

Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted prior to April 1, 2004, are translated as follows:
i.

Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year.

ii.

assets are translated.

iii.

Other assets and liabilities at rates prevailing at the end of the year.

iv.

Net revenues at the average rate for the year.

d.

Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted on or after April 1, 2004, are treated as integral

arising on such translation are recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise.

e.

Financial statements of overseas non-integral operations are translated as under:

i.

Assets and liabilities at the rate prevailing at the end of the year. Depreciation and amortisation is accounted at the same
rate at which assets are converted.

ii.

Revenues and expenses at yearly average exchange rates prevailing during the year.

Exchange differences arising on translation of non-integral foreign operations are accumulated in the foreign currency
translation reserve until the disposal of such operations.
f.

Forward contracts, other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted firm commitments or highly
probable forecasted transactions, are treated as foreign currency transactions and accounted accordingly as per Accounting
Standard (AS) 11 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Exchange differences arising on such contracts are
recognised in the period in which they arise.
Gains and losses arising on account of roll over/cancellation of forward contracts are recognised as income/expense of the
period in which such roll over/cancellation takes place.

g.

All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted firm
commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions, are recognised in the financial statements at fair value as on the
Balance Sheet date, in pursuance of the announcement of the ICAI dated March 29, 2008 on accounting of derivatives. In
addition, the derivative arrangements embedded in the contracts entered in the course of business are accounted separately
if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to economic characteristics and
risks of the host contract.
The Company has adopted Accounting Standard (AS) 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for
accounting of such derivative contracts, not covered under Accounting Standard (AS) 11 The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates, as mandated by the ICAI in the aforesaid announcement.
Accordingly, the resultant gains or losses on fair valuation/settlement of the derivative contracts (including embedded
derivatives) covered under Accounting Standard (AS) 30 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss or Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
effectiveness. Where the hedge in respect of off-balance sheet items is effective, the gains or losses are recognised in the
hedging reserve which forms part of reserves and surplus in the Balance Sheet. The amount recognised in the hedging
reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of ineffective hedges are recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss in the period in which such gains or losses are incurred.
h.

The premium paid/received on a foreign currency forward contract is accounted as expense/income over the life of the
contract.

22. Taxes on income

a.

Indian companies:
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance
with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the income accounted in financial statements and the taxable
income for the year, and quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet
date.

387

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head capital gains are recognised
and carried forward to the extent there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Other deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
b.

Foreign companies:
Foreign companies recognise tax liabilities and assets in accordance with the applicable local laws.

23. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if
a.

the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event

b.

a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation and

c.

the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated

Reimbursement expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is recognised only when it is virtually certain
that the reimbursement will be received. Contingent liability is disclosed in case of
a.

a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation

b.

a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible

c.

a possible obligation arising from past events, where the probability of outflow of resources is not remote

Contingent assets are neither recognised, nor disclosed.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
24. Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure.
Commitments are classified and disclosed as follows:
a.

Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for

b.

Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid

c.

Funding related commitments to associate and joint venture companies and

d.

Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of
management.

Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive
details.
25. Operating cycle for current and non-current classification
Operating cycle for the business activities of the Company covers the duration of the specific project/contract/product line/service
including the defect liability period, wherever applicable and extends up to the realisation of receivables (including retention
monies) within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.
26. Deferred payment liabilities
The obligation towards additional concession fee payable to NHAI is recognised as deferred payment liability when the Company,
in its capacity of Concessionaire, becomes entitled to exercise the right and collect toll in accordance with the terms of the
concession agreement on Commercial Operations Date.

27. Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement is prepared segregating the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from
operating activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, the net profit is adjusted for the effects of:
a.

transactions of a non-cash nature

b.

any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and

c.

items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) are reflected as such in the Cash Flow Statement. Those cash and cash
equivalents which are not available for general use as on the date of Balance Sheet are also included under this category with a
specific disclosure.

Notes:
1. Significant influence is demonstrated by holding 20% or more of the voting power of the investee (Para 4 of AS 23 - Accounting for Investments in Associates)
2. The Incorporated joint venture is not required to be audited as per regulatory laws in Iran. Hence the management certified accounts have been considered for
consolidation.
3. The associate company operates under severe long term restrictions that significantly impair its ability to transfer funds to the company and hence the same has not
been considered for consolidation.
4. The associate company is under liquidation process and investment is fully provided in the accounts.
5. The Group has sold its stake in the associate companies during FY 2015-16.
