Unless stated otherwise, industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been
obtained or derived from publicly available information as well as various industry publications and
sources. These publications typically state that the information contained therein has been obtained
from sources believed to be reliable but their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their

methodologies and assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources.

Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, investment decisions should not be based solely on such information.

All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, expectations and assumptions about
us that may vary, some or all of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the relevant forward- looking statement.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements due to risks or

the industries in India in which we operate and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully
implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market
risks, general economic and political conditions in India which have an impact on its business activities

in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the
financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in
competition in the industries in which we operate.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s expectations
assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. General economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate and in the local,
regional and national economies;
2. Dependence on business transaction with the government entities and agencies for a significant
portion of our revenue;
3. Competitive bidding process;
4. Competition from other oil and gas infrastructure companies;
5. Delays or cost overruns in the execution of the projects;
6. Changes in technology and our ability to manage any disruption or failure of our technology
systems;
7. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

non- compliance with and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws and other applicable
regulations, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.

For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations,
please refer to the chapter titled “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 31, 119 and 240
respectively of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are
only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result,
actual gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated.
We cannot assure Bidders that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove
to be correct. Given these uncertainties, Bidders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of our Company as of the date of this DRHP and
are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on the management’s beliefs and
assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Although we believe the
assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these
assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these
assumptions could be incorrect. Our Company, our Directors, members of the Syndicate or any of their
respective affiliates or advisors do not have any obligation to, and do not intend to, update or otherwise
revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company and the BRLM will ensure that investors in
India are informed of material developments from the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus until
the time of the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchanges for the Issue.

 SECTION II – RISK FACTORS

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described
below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. In making an investment decision,
prospective investors must rely on their own examination of our Company and the terms of this Issue
including the merits and risks involved. Any potential investor in, and subscriber of, the Equity
Shares should also pay particular attention to the fact that we are governed in India by a legal and
regulatory environment in which some material respects may be different from that which prevails in
other countries. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks and
uncertainties we currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business. If any of the following
risks, or any other risks that are not currently known or are currently deemed immaterial, actually
occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, the price of our
Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or any part of your investment. Additionally, our
business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or
that we currently consider as immaterial to our operations.

Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify
or quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein. Unless otherwise
stated, the financial information of our Company used in this section is derived from our Restated
Standalone Financial Information prepared in accordance with Ind AS and the Companies Act and
restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. To obtain a better understanding, you
should read this section in conjunction with the chapters titled “Our Business” beginning on page
119, “Our Industry” beginning on page 97 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 240 respectively, of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus as well as other financial information contained herein. For capitalized
terms used but not defined in this chapter, refer to the chapter titled “Definitions and Abbreviation”
beginning on page 1 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Materiality:

The Risk Factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have
been considered for determining the materiality of Risk Factors:

• Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively;
• Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively; and
• Some events may not be material at present but may have material impact in future.

The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been
disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are risk factors where the impact may
not be quantifiable and hence the same has not been disclosed in such risk factors. The numbering of
the risk factors has been done to facilitate ease of reading and reference and does not in any manner
indicate the importance of one risk factor over another.

In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between total and sums of the
amount listed are due to rounding off.
In this section, unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to “we”, “us” or “our” refers to
Likhitha Infrastructure Limited.

The risk factors are classified as under for the sake of better clarity and increased understanding:

31
INTERNAL RISK FACTORS:

1. There are certain outstanding legal proceedings pending against our Company, our Promoters
and our Directors. Any adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may adversely affect our
profitability and reputation and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.

Our Company, Promoter and Directors are currently involved in certain tax proceedings in India
which are pending at different levels of adjudication before the concerned authority/ forum. We
cannot assure you that these tax proceedings will be decided in favour of our Company, Promoter or
Directors, as the case may be. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may render us liable to
penalties and may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and
results of operations. Additionally, during the course of our business we are subject to risk of
litigation in relation to contractual obligations, employment and labour law related, personal injury
and property damage, etc.

A classification of these outstanding litigations is given in the following table:

Sr. No. Outstanding Litigations No. of Financial

Outstanding implications to

Prospectus.

32
 2. Our business is dependent on a few clients and the loss of, or a significant reduction in purchase
orders from such clients could adversely affect our business and financials. We depend on a
limited number of clients for a significant portion of our revenue. The loss of any of our major
client due to any adverse development or significant reduction in business from our major client
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects.

There are limited players in the oil and gas distribution business and we have derived a significant
portion and we may continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from limited number of
client groups. As per our Restated Financial Statements, our revenue from our few client groups
constituted whole or substantially whole of our total revenue for the period ended September 30,
2019 and the Fiscals 2019, 2018 and 2017. As our business is currently concentrated to a select
number of client groups, any adverse development with such client groups, including as a result of a
dispute with or disqualification by such major client group, may result in us experiencing significant
reduction in our cash flows and liquidity. If our client groups are able to fulfil their requirements
through any of our existing or new competitors, providing services with better quality and / or
cheaper cost, we may lose significant portion of our business. Furthermore, we do not have firm
commitment in the form of long-term supply agreements with our client groups and instead rely on
work orders and long-term framework agreements to govern the volume and other terms. There can
be no assurance that upon expiry of the long-term framework agreements, our clients will re-enter
into such agreements with us in a timely manner and at terms favorable to us or at all. Consequently,
there is no commitment on the part of our major client groups to continue to give new orders to us
and as a result, our cash flow and consequent revenue may fluctuate significantly from time to time.

Such concentration of our business on a few projects or clients may have an adverse effect on our
results of operations.

3. The contracts entered into by us are usually standard in nature and may contain terms that
favour our clients, which may enable them to terminate our contracts prematurely under various
circumstances beyond our control and as such, we have limited ability to negotiate terms of such
contracts and may have to accept unusual or onerous provisions.

The work contracts entered into by us are usually in the form and manner as approved by our clients.
As a result, we have a limited scope to negotiate the terms of such work contracts, some of which terms
may be more favourable to our clients.
The contractual terms may present risks to our business, including:
- risks we must assume and lack of recourse to our client where defects in site or geological
conditions were unforeseen or latent from our preliminary investigations, design and
engineering prior to submitting a bid;
- liability for defects arising after the termination of the agreement;
- clients’ discretion to grant time extensions, which may result in project delays and/or cost
overruns;
- our liability as a contractor for consequential or economic loss to our clients;
- Commitment of the government to secure encumbrance free land, utility shifting and delay in
obtaining approvals.
Such onerous conditions in the contracts may affect the efficient execution of these projects and may
have adverse effects on our profitability.

33
4. Our business is dependent on a continuing relationship with our clients.

Our business is dependent on oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation
projects undertaken by large conglomerates and governmental authorities. Our business is therefore
significantly dependent on developing and maintaining relationships and pre-qualified status with
certain major clients and obtaining a share of contracts from such clients. Our business and results of
operations will be adversely affected if we are unable to develop and maintain a continuing relationship
or pre-qualified status with certain of our key clients. The loss of a significant client or a number of
significant clients may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

5. We may not be able to realize the amounts reflected in our order book which may materially and
adversely affect our business, prospects, reputation, profitability, cash flows, financial condition
and results of operation.

As on December 31, 2019, our Company’s order book size was approx. Rs. 66,127.06 Lakhs. Future
revenue related to the performance of projects in the order book may not be realized and although the
projects in the order book represent business that is considered firm, cancellations or scope or schedule
adjustments may occur. We may also encounter problems executing the project as ordered or executing
it on a timely basis. Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our clients may postpone a
project or cause its cancellation, including delays or failure to obtain necessary permits, authorizations,
permissions, right-of-way, and other types of difficulties or obstructions. Due to the possibility of
cancellations or changes in scope and schedule of projects, resulting from our clients’ discretion or
problems we encounter in project execution or reasons outside our control or the control of our clients,
we cannot predict with certainty when, if or to what extent a project forming part of our order book will
be performed. Delays in the completion of a project can lead to clients delaying or refusing to pay the
amount, in part or full, that we expect to be paid in respect of such project. Even relatively short delays
or surmountable difficulties in the execution of a project could result in our failure to receive, on a
timely basis or at all, the payments due to us from under a work contract. Any delay, reduction in scope,
cancellation, execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment default in regard to our order
book projects or any other incomplete projects, or disputes with clients in respect of any of the
foregoing, could adversely affect our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.

6. Our actual cost in executing a project may vary from the assumptions underlying our bid. We
may or may not be unable to recover all or some of the additional expenses, which may have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Under the terms and conditions of work order, we generally agree to pay to, or receive contract price
on the basis of quotation given at the time of bidding (subject to contract variations covering changes in
the client’s project requirements). Our actual expense in executing the contracts may vary substantially
from the assumptions underlying our bid for various reasons such as unanticipated increases in the cost
of construction materials, fuel, labour or other inputs, unforeseen conditions, including the inability
of the client to obtain requisite approvals resulting in delays and increased costs, delays caused by local
weather conditions and suppliers’ failures to perform, etc. Our ability to pass on any increase in the
costs to the client may be limited under the contracts with limited or no price escalation provisions and
we cannot assure you that these variations in cost will not lead to financial losses to us. Further, other
risks generally inherent to the oil and gas infrastructure may result in our profits from a project being
less than as originally estimated or may result in us experiencing losses due to cost and time

34
overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition
and results of operations.

7. We are required to furnish financial and performance bank guarantees as part of our business.
Our inability to arrange such guarantee or the invocation of such guarantees may result in
forfeiture of bid security or earnest money deposit and termination of the relevant contract
thereby affecting results of our operations, financial condition and other prospects.

As per the terms of the work contracts executed by us, we are required to provide financial and performance
bank guarantees in favor of the clients to secure our financial/performance obligations under the respective
contracts for our projects and are also required to ensure that the performance bank guarantees are valid and
enforceable until the expiry of the contract or until we remedy any defects during the defects liability period or
until such other period as is stipulated under the relevant contract. As on September 30, 2019, we have provided
bank guarantees amounting to Rs. 5315.43 Lakhs, towards securing our financial/performance obligations under
our ongoing projects. We may be unable to fulfil any or all of our obligations under the contracts entered into by
us in relation to our ongoing projects due to unforeseen circumstances which may result in a default under our
contracts resulting in invocation of the bank guarantees issued by us. If any or all the bank guarantees are
invoked, it may result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Further, if we are not able to provide/extend the performance bank guarantee within the stipulated period with
respect to the project, then the relevant contract may be terminated and the bid security or the earnest money
deposit provided can be encashed, which could have a material adverse effect on our prospects.

We may not be able to continue obtaining new financial and performance bank guarantees in sufficient
quantities to match our business requirements. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the
financial bank guarantees, performance bank guarantees, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain
adequate supplies could be limited. Providing security to obtain financial and performance bank guarantees also
increases our working capital requirements.

8. Some or all of our ongoing projects may not be completed within their agreed completion dates.
Such delays may adversely affect our business, results or operations and financial conditions

The industry in which our Company operates is prone to time and cost over-runs. The development of our
projects involves various implementation risks including construction delays, delay or disruption in supply of
raw materials, delays in obtaining certain property rights and government approvals and consents, unanticipated
cost increases, adverse environmental and weather conditions, natural disasters, force majeure events or delays
in securing required licenses, authorizations or permits.

In the past, we have experienced delays in implementation of some of our projects and work orders. Further,
there have been instances of time over-run in the execution of our ongoing projects . While, till date there has
been no litigation consequent to such delay in execution of our ongoing projects however, we cannot assure you
that no penalties or liquidated damages may not be levied upon us on account of such extension for completion.
Similarly, our future projects may also be subject to delays and time and cost over-run on account of reasons
which are beyond our control. Such modification and changes to the project completion timelines may have
significant impact on our ongoing and future projects and consequently, we may be penalized and be required to
pay damages to our clients, which may have an adverse effect on our business, clients relations, our credibility,
results of operation and financial conditions. While we may seek to minimize the risks from any unanticipated
events, it cannot be assured that all potential delays can be mitigated and that we will be able to prevent any
time and cost over-runs and any loss of profits resulting from such delays, shortfalls and disruptions.

35
9. Our contracts in hand may be delayed which could have a material adverse effect on our cash
flow position, revenues and earnings.

Our contracts in hand do not necessarily indicate future earnings. We may also face problems in
executing the project as agreed under the contract. Moreover, sometimes factors beyond our control
or the control of our clients may delay a project or cause change of scope, including delays or
failures to obtain necessary permits, authorizations, permissions and other types of difficulties or
obstructions. We cannot predict with certainty when, if or to what extent a contract will be
performed. Delays in the completion of a project can lead to delayed payments from our clients.
Any delay, reduction in scope, execution, difficulty or delay in payment in respect of our contract or
any disputes with clients in respect of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on
our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.

10. We could become liable to clients, suffer adverse publicity and incur substantial costs as a result
of defects in our services, which in turn could adversely affect the our reputation and our future
prospects could be affected if we are associated with negative publicity.

Any failure or defect in our services could result in a claim against us for damages, regardless of our
responsibility for such a failure or defect. Although we attempt to maintain quality standards, we cannot assure
that all our project related services would be of uniform quality, which in turn could adversely affect the value
of our reputation and future prospects could be adversely affected if we are associated with negative publicity.
Also, our business is dependent on the trust that our clients have in the quality of our project related services.
Any negative publicity regarding our Company, reputation or project related services, including those arising
from a drop-in quality of our vendors or any unforeseen event, could affect our reputation and our results from
operations.

11. Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

Our business operations may be affected by seasonal factors which may restrict our ability to carry on
activities related to our projects and fully utilize our resources. Heavy or sustained rainfalls or other
extreme weather conditions such as cyclones could result in delays or disruptions to our operations
during the critical periods of our projects and cause severe damages to equipment. In particular, the
monsoon season may restrict our ability to carry on activities related to execution of our projects and
fully utilize our resources, which may affect our revenues and consequently, profit recognition to
subsequent quarters. Adverse seasonal developments may also require the evacuation of personnel,
suspension or curtailment of operations, resulting in damage to sites or delays in the delivery of
materials. Such fluctuations may adversely affect our revenues, cash flows, results of operations and
financial conditions.

12. We face competition in our business from other oil and gas infrastructure companies.

We operate in a competitive environment. Our competition varies depending on the size, nature and
complexity of the project and on the geographical region in which the project is to be executed. We
compete against major as well as smaller regional oil and gas infrastructure companies. While service
quality, technological capacity and performance, health and safety records and personnel, as well as
reputation and experience, are important considerations in client decisions, price is a major factor in
most tender awards.
We are currently qualified to bid for projects up to a certain value and therefore, are unable to compete
with large pipeline infrastructure conglomerates for high value contracts. Some of our competitors are

36
larger than us and have greater financial resources. They may also benefit from greater economies of
scale and operating efficiencies. Competitors may, whether through consolidation or growth, present
more credible integrated and/or lower cost solutions than we do, causing us to win fewer tenders. If we
do not succeed in being awarded the contracts for projects, we could fail to increase, or maintain, our
volume of order intake and operating revenues. There can be no assurance that we can continue to
effectively compete with our competitors in the future and failure to compete effectively may have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

13. Given the long-term nature of many of our projects, we face various implementation risks and
our inability to successfully manage such risks may have an adverse impact on the functioning
of our business.

Most of the projects that we undertake are by their nature long term and consequently expose us to a
variety of implementation risks, including construction delays, delay or disruption in supply of raw
materials, unanticipated cost increases, and cost overruns. While we believe that we have successfully
managed the implementation risks we have faced in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to continue to effectively manage any future implementation risks, which may or may not be of a
nature familiar to us. Our future results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to
effectively manage the implementation risks we face.

14. We rely on effective and efficient project management. Any adverse change in our project
management procedures could affect our ability to complete projects on a timely basis or at all,
which may cause us to incur liquidated damages for time overruns pursuant to our contracts.

Our project-based businesses depend on the proper and timely management of our projects. Although
we focus on project management in a number of ways, including by appointing project managers at
our sites and by obtaining progress reports periodically, ineffective or inefficient project management
could increase our costs and expenses and thus, materially and adversely affect our profitability.

We typically enter into contracts which provide for liquidated damages for time overruns.
Additionally, in some contracts, in case of delay, our clients may have the right to appoint a third party
to complete the work and to deduct additional costs or charges incurred for completion of the work
from the contract price payable to us. In case we are unable to meet the performance criteria as
prescribed by the clients and if penalties or liquidated damages are levied, our financial condition and
results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

15. An inability to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.

We have experienced high growth in recent years and expect our business to grow significantly as a
result of favorable government policies and increased demand of oil and natural gas. We expect this
growth to place significant demands on us and require us to continuously evolve and improve our
operational, financial and internal controls across the organization. In particular, continued expansion
increases the challenges involved in:
 maintaining high levels of client satisfaction;
 recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled management, technical and marketing
personnel;
 adhering to health, safety and environment and quality and process execution standards that meet
client expectations;
 preserving a uniform culture, values and work environment in operations within and outside
India; and

37
  developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial,
operational, communications and other internal systems.

Any inability to manage our growth may have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.

16. We may be unable to obtain the requisite approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to
develop and operate our businesses or may be unable to renew them in a timely manner, which
may affect our operations adversely

We are governed by various laws and regulations for our business and operations. We are required,
and will continue to be required, to obtain and hold relevant licenses, approvals and permits at the
local, state and central government levels for doing our business. While we believe that we have
obtained the necessary and material approvals, licenses, registrations and permits from the relevant
authorities, there could be instances where we may not have applied/ applied with a delay for certain
requisite approvals, applicable to us. We also need to apply for renewal, from time to time, of certain
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits, which expire or seek fresh approvals, as and when
required, in the ordinary course of our business.
There can be no assurance that the relevant authority will issue an approval or renew expired
approvals within the applicable time period or at all. Any delay in receipt or non-receipt of such
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits could adversely affect our related operations. Further,
under such circumstances, the relevant authorities may initiate penal action against us, restrain our
operations, impose fines/penalties or initiate legal proceedings for our inability to renew/obtain
approvals in a timely manner or at all.
Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the approvals, licenses, registrations and permits issued to us
will not be suspended or cancelled or revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged non-
compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. We have, in the
past, received notices from statutory authorities in relation to alleged non-compliance with certain
labour legislations which pre-dominantly include non-maintenance of registers, under applicable laws,
non-display of copy of license at our work sites, etc. Further, we have not, in the past, taken registration
as required under the applicable professional tax statute(s). We cannot assure you that non-
compliances will not occur in the future or that we may not be subject to any penalties in relation to
such non-compliances which may affect our profitability, business, financial condition and results of
operations. Further, any suspension or revocation of any of the approvals, licenses, registrations and
permits that has been or may be issued to us may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
For further information, please refer to chapter titled “Outstanding Litigations and Material
Developments” and “Government and Other Approvals” beginning on page 257 and 265 of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.

17. Our business is manpower intensive and we are dependent on the supply and availability of a
sufficient pool of contract labourers from sub-contractors at our project locations.
Unavailability or shortage of such a pool of contract labour or any strikes, work stoppages,
increased wage demands by workmen or changes in regulations governing contractual labour
may have an0020adverse impact on our cash flows and results of operations.

Our business is manpower intensive and we are dependent on the availability of a sufficient pool of
contract labour from our sub-contractors to execute our projects. The number of contract labourers
employed by us varies from time to time based on the nature and extent of work contracted to us and the

38
availability of contract labour. We may not be able to secure the required number of contractual
labourers required for the timely execution of our projects for a variety of reasons including possibility
of disputes with sub-contractors, strikes, less competitive rates to our sub-contractors as compared to
our competitors or changes in labour regulations that may limit availability of contractual labour. We
are subject to laws and regulations relating to employee welfare and benefits such as minimum wage,
working conditions, employee insurance, and other such employee benefits and any changes to existing
labour legislations, including upward revision of wages required to be paid under statutes to the
workmen, limitations on the number of hours of work or provision of improved facilities, such as food or
safety equipment, may adversely affect our business and results of our operations.
There can be no assurance that disruptions in our business will not be experienced if there are strikes,
work stoppages, disputes or other problems with sub-contractors or contract labourers deployed at our
projects. This may adversely affect our business and cash flows and results of operations.
In respect of labour cost and overhead cost components in such contracts, based on our internal
estimates and belief, we include appropriate escalation provisions in the cost estimates at the time of
bidding for a project and our contracts do not usually contain any clause for price adjustment for
increase in labour costs. Any such increase in labour costs or any circumstances that render our
estimates inaccurate or incorrect, may have an adverse impact on our profitability.
If our labour does not complete its obligations in a timely and satisfactory manner, our costs could
increase and our reputation, business, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.

18. Our Company does not have any formal long-term arrangements with its suppliers. Any
significant variation in the supply may adversely affect the operations and profitability of our
Company.

Major raw materials used for our operational activities include electrodes, coating sleeves, and warning mats etc.
These raw materials are procured from various local manufacturers traders from whom we conduct business on
regular basis and sometimes certain raw materials are also imported based on the client’s requirements. Our
Company maintains a list of registered and unregistered suppliers from whom we procure the materials on order
basis. Owing to wide availability of suppliers and traders across India and the said materials being easily
available, we have not entered any long-term arrangement or contracts with any of the parties which oblige them
to maintain their business with us. Our ability to maintain close and satisfactory relationships with our suppliers
may impact our supplies and affect our production process. Further, there is no assurance that the suppliers will
continue to supply raw materials to us on reasonably acceptable terms.

19. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by any disputes with our employees.

As of November 30, 2019, we employed directly work force of approximately 774 employees on our
payroll. In addition to the above, we also hire temporary contract labour at our project sites depending
on the project requirements. While we believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees
and contract labor, there can be no assurance that we will not experience future disruptions to our
operations due to disputes or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our
business and results of operations. The number of contract laborers vary from time to time based on the
nature and extent of work contracted to independent contractors. We enter into contracts with
independent contractors to complete specified assignments. All contract laborers engaged at our
facilities are assured minimum wages that are fixed by local government authorities. Any upward
revision of wages required by such governments to be paid to such contract laborers or offer of
permanent employment or the unavailability of the required number of contract laborers, may adversely
affect our business and results of our operations.

39
20. We have certain contingent liabilities which may adversely affect our financial condition.

As on September 30, 2019, our Company had the following contingent liabilities:
Sr. Particulars Amount (Rs. In
No. Lakhs)
1 Guarantees issued by Banks 5315.43
2 Demand under Rule 17(1)(e) of the APVAT Rules, 2005 6.14
Financial Year 2008-09 (Rs.307,190/- was paid under protest)
3 Demand under Rule 17(1)(e) of the APVAT Rules, 2005 15.36
Financial Year 2009-10 (Rs.767,828/- was paid under protest)

In the event that any of these contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition may be adversely
affected. For further information, please refer chapter titled “Financial Information” beginning on
page 181 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

21. Our Company has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in the Financial
Year 2016-17:

Our net cash flow from operating activities in the Financial Year 2016-17 was Rs. (334.19) Lakhs and we may
incur negative cash flows in the future as well which may have an adverse effect on our business, prospects,
results of operations and financial condition.

For details on the cash flows on restated financial statements for the last three Fiscals and for the
period ended September 30, 2019, please refer chapter titled “Financial Information” beginning on
page 181 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

22. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Key Management
Personnel. Any loss of our Key Management Personnel or our ability to attract and retain them
could adversely affect our business, operations and financial conditions.

We depend on the management skills and guidance of our Key Management Personnel for development
of business strategies, monitoring its successful implementation and meeting future challenges. The
success of our business is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced staff
(including senior and middle management with professional qualifications). We are led by a dedicated
senior management team with several years of industry experience. In addition, we have an
experienced and qualified team of employees. We are dependent on our experienced Promoter,
management team and employees and also the ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled personnel to
effectively implement our Company’s strategy and serve our clients.
Many of our personnel possess skills that would be valuable to other companies engaged in one or more
of our business lines. Whilst we offer compensation in line with the demand for such skills some of our
competitors may be able to pay our employees more than we are able to pay to retain them. Our ability
to profitably operate is substantially dependent upon our ability to locate, hire, train and retain our
personnel. We may, therefore, incur additional costs in order to attract talented individuals and to
retain existing experienced staff. Although we may not have experienced difficulty locating, hiring,
training or retaining our employees to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our
current personnel, or that we will be able to attract and assimilate other qualified personnel in the
future. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified and experienced staff, our ability to operate and
expand our business may be affected and our operating costs may increase. The loss of any of the
members of our senior management team or other key personnel or our inability to recruit and retain

40
qualified and experienced staff or to manage the attrition levels in different employee categories may
limit our competitiveness, interrupt our operations and/or cause client dissatisfaction, any of which
could reduce our revenue and profitability.

23. Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing agreements
could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations.

As of December 31, 2019, we had total outstanding fund based debt (excluding auto loans) of Rs.
738.16 Lakhs and total bank guarantee of Rs. 5549.69 Lakhs. In addition to the above, we may incur
additional indebtedness in the future. Our indebtedness could have several important consequences,
including but not limited to the following:
 a portion of our cash flow may be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will
reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;

 our ability to obtain additional financing in the future at reasonable terms may be restricted;

 fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as some of our
indebtedness are at variable interest rates;

 there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations if we are unable to service our indebtedness or otherwise comply with financial and
other covenants specified in the financing agreements; and

 we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to withstand
competitive pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business,
regulatory and economic conditions.

Most of our financing arrangements are secured by the lenders by creating a charge over our movable
and immovable assets. These loans are repayable in accordance with any agreed repayment schedule
and may be recalled by the relevant lenders at any time. Any such unexpected demand or accelerated
repayment may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows and financial condition.
Many of our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require us to
obtain lender consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions.
Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our
business and operations. Specifically, we require, and may be unable to obtain, lender consents to incur
additional debt, issue equity, change our capital structure, increase or modify our capital expenditure
plans, undertake any expansion, provide additional guarantees, change our management structure, or
merge with or acquire other companies, whether or not there is any failure by us to comply with the
other terms of such agreements.
We believe that our relationships with our lenders are good and we have in the past obtained consents
from them to undertake various actions and have informed them of our activities from time to time.
Compliance with the various terms is, however, subject to interpretation and we cannot assure you that
we have requested or received all consents from our lenders that are required by our financing
documents. As a result, it is possible that a lender could assert that we have not complied with all terms
under our existing financing documents. Any failure to comply with the requirement to obtain a consent
or other condition or covenant under our financing agreements that is not waived by our lenders or is
not otherwise cured by us, may lead to a termination of our credit facilities, acceleration of all amounts
due under such facilities and trigger cross default provisions under certain of our other financing

41
agreements and may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations or implement
our business plans.

24. One of our Promoters has limited experience in our line of business

One of our Promoters, namely Ms. Likhitha Gaddipati has limited experience in our present line of
business which may affect the profitability of our business and may make it more difficult to attract and
retain our customers which could have a material adverse effect on or business prospects.

25. Our Company has not received “No Objection” certificate from some of our lenders to
undertake this Issue. Non receipt of such “No Objection” certificate could lead to non -
compliance of the terms of the loan agreements entered into by our Company with said lenders.

We have entered into agreements for availing debt facilities from lenders which may contains
restrictive covenants to obtain prior approval or permission from our lenders in certain conditions.
As on the date of this DRHP, we have not received “No Objection” certificate from some of our
lenders for this Issue. We cannot assure you that the said lenders will grant us the “No Objection”
certificate for this Issue. Non receipt of such No Objection certificate may be treated as non-
compliance of the terms of the loan agreements entered into by our Company with such lenders.

26. Members of our Promoter group will continue to retain majority control in the Company after
the Issue, which will enable them to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders
for approval.

Upon completion of this Issue, members of the Promoter group will have substantial shareholding of
our post-Issue equity share capital. As a result, the Promoter group will have the ability to control our
business including matters relating to any sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the timing and
distribution of dividends and the election or termination of appointment of our officers and directors.
This control could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company, impede a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company, or discourage a
potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company
even if it is in the Company’s best interest. In addition, for so long as the Promoter group continues to
exercise significant control over the Company, they may influence the material policies of the Company
in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. The Promoter group may
have interests that are adverse to the interests of our other shareholders and may take positions with
which we or our other shareholders do not agree.
27. Our Group Company has incurred loss in the last three financial years.

Our Group Company have incurred losses in the last three financial years. The profit/ (loss) figures for
the preceding three financial years of such Group Company are as follows:
(Rs. in lakhs)
Name of loss-making group company Profit/(loss) after tax for the fiscal
2019 2018 2017
Veriedge Technologies Private Limited (1.18) (0.40) (3.69)

We cannot assure that our Group company will not incur losses in the future. For further details
of our Group Companies, please see chapter titled "Our Group Companies" beginning on page
178 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

42
28. Our Promoters and Promoter group members have provided guarantees for loans availed by us.

Our Promoter, Mr. Srinivasa Rao Gaddipati, and some Promoter group members have issued personal
guarantees in relation to certain borrowings availed by our Company. In the event of default on such
borrowings, these guarantees may be invoked by our lenders thereby adversely affecting the respective
Promoter and Promoter group members’ ability to manage the affairs of our Company which in
turn, could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, if any of these guarantees are revoked by our Promoter and Promoter group members, our
lenders may require alternate securities or guarantees and may seek early repayment or terminate such
facilities. Any such event could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For
further details of loans availed by us, please refer the chapter titled “Financial Indebtedness”
beginning on page 252 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

29. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the
future.

We have in the past entered into transactions with certain Promoters/relatives of our Promoters/entities
promoted by our Promoters. Furthermore, it is likely that we may enter into related party transactions
in the future. While we believe that all such transactions have been/would be conducted on an arm's
length basis, there can be no assurance that we might not have achieved/may not achieve more
favorable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties. There can be no
assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations. For further details, please see note Annexure VI, Note
31(G) to our Restated Financial Statements appearing under chapter titled “Financial Information”
beginning on page 181 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

30. Our Registered Office is not owned by us, if we are required to vacate the same, due to any
reason whatsoever, it may adversely affect our business operations.

Our Company’s registered office is situated at Flat No. 701, Plot No.8-3-940 and 8-3-940/A to E,
Tirumala Shah Residency, Yellareddy Guda, Ameerpet, Hyderabad-500073, Telangana, India, that is
owned by Mr. Kutumba Rao Gaddipati, member of our Promoter group and director of our Company.
The premises have been taken on leasehold /leave and license basis by our Company. There can be no
assurance that the term of the agreements in relation to the above premises will be continued/ renewed
and in the event of expiry, non-renewal or early termination of the lease/ leave and license
arrangement or in case of disassociation of our Promoter Group Member with our Promoters, we may
be required to vacate the above premises and identify alternative premises which may have an adverse
impact on our business and operations. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled "Our
Business " beginning on page 119 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

31. Certain agreements may be inadequately stamped or may not have been registered or may not
have necessary disclosure as a result of which our operations may be adversely affected.

Few of our agreements such as those relating to immovable properties, may not be stamped
adequately or registered or may not have the necessary disclosures. The effect of inadequate stamping
is that the document is not admissible as evidence in legal proceedings and parties to that agreement
may not be able to legally enforce the same, except after paying a penalty for inadequate stamping.
The effect of non-registration of documents required to be registered, is that such document will not
have any effect on the property or be eligible to be received as evidence in legal proceedings. Any

43
potential dispute due to non-compliance of local laws relating to stamp duty and registration may
adversely impact the operations of our Company.

32. We do not have access to records and data pertaining to certain secretarial information in
relation to certain disclosures

Our Company does not have access to records pertaining to certain historical and secretarial data or
information as the same are not available with us or with the Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad.
Certain annual filing forms, forms for change in directors and financial statements of the Company
prior to 2004 are not available with the Company or with the ROC. We cannot assure you of the
accuracy and completeness of such internal records maintained by our Company.

33. There have been some instances of non-filing/ delayed filing/ incorrect filings in the past with
the Registrar of Companies. Further, our Company may not have complied with certain
statutory provisions under the Companies Act. Such non-compliances/ lapses may attract
penalties.

Our Company is required to make filings under various rules and regulations as applicable under the
Companies Act, few of which may either have not been done or have been done with certain
discrepancies/ inaccuracies/ clerical mistakes and/ or delays in filing within the stipulated time
period. In case of delay in filing the statutory forms with RoC, the Company had made the
requisite filings along with additional fees, as specified by RoC.

Further, in the year 2007, our Company had availed financial assistance for a sum of Rs. 325.00 Lakhs
from Centurian Bank of Punjab Limited which was secured by a charge created in favour of Centurian
Bank of Punjab Limited. Despite having repaid the said loan, the charge created in favour of
Centurian Bank of Punjab Limited on the Company’s assets continues to be reflected in the index of
charges of the Company maintained with the MCA portal which is not in compliance with the
provisions of the Companies Act.

Although, there have been no penalty levied on the Company for such delays/ defaults, however, it
cannot be assured that even in future no such penalty shall be levied. Therefore, if the concerned
authorities impose monetary penalties on us or take certain punitive actions against our Company or its
directors / officers in relation to the same, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.

34. We have not sought consents from some of our Promoter group members of the Company for
including their names in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus

Certain persons have been disclosed as part of our Promoter group on the basis of them being an
immediate relative of our Promoters. Such persons however do not maintain any relationship,
arrangement, dealing with our Company, neither have they entered into any financial transactions
with us nor have any interest in the business activities of our Company and no consent has been
sought from such Promoter group members for being named in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus or
to make accurate disclosures in relation to them in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In the absence
of consent from them, there can be no assurance regarding the accuracy of information in the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus pertaining to such Promoter group members or that they will not object to
their name being included in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus without their consent. For further
information, kindly refer to the chapter “Promoters and Promoter Group” on page 173 of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.

44
35. There may be possible conflicts of interest between us and our Promoters or our Group
Company, or with entities in which our Promoters & directors are interested.

Our Promoter, Mr. Srinivasa Rao Gaddipati, is actively involved in the management of both our
business and the business operations of our Promoter Group Companies. Any diversion of attention
by our Promoter to our Promoter Group Companies may distract or dilute management attention
from our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Though our Promoter Group Companies are not having business objects similar to those
of our Company, there can be no assurance that our Promoters or Promoter Group Companies, in
future, will not provide comparable services, expand their presence or acquire interests in competing
ventures in the locations in which we operate. Further, we do not enjoy contractual protection by
way of a non–compete or other agreement or arrangement with such Promoter Group Companies.
Such eventualities may lead to conflict of interest between our Company and our Promoter Group
Companies which have been promoted and / or controlled by our Promoters. For more details
regarding our Promoters and Group Companies, please refer chapters titled "Our Promoters and
Promoter Group" and "Group Companies" beginning on page 173 and 178 respectively of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus respectively.

36. Our Company’s logo is not registered as on date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. However,
an application for registration our trademark has been filed with the trademarks authority. We
may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and/or be subject to claims
alleging breach of third-party intellectual property rights.

As on date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have made application under the Trademarks Act,

1999 for registration of our logo " ", for getting it registered in the name of our Company by the
trademark authority and hence, we do not enjoy the statutory protections accorded to a registered logo
and the same has been marked as objected by the relevant authority. We cannot assure you that our application
for registration of our logo will be granted by the relevant authorities in a timely manner or at all. Our logo is
significant to our business and operations. The use of our logo by third parties could adversely affect our
reputation, which could in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations. In the event, our
application is rejected by trademarks registry, our business, results of operation and financial condition would
be adversely affected. Obtaining, protecting and defending intellectual property rights can be time consuming
and expensive, and may require us to incur substantial costs, including the diversion of the time and resources of
management and technical personnel.

Further, while we endeavour to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others,
there can be no assurance that we will not face any intellectual property infringement claims brought
by third parties that may require us to introduce changes to our operations. Any claims of
infringement, regardless of merit or resolution of such claims, could force us to incur significant costs
in responding to, defending and resolving such claims, and may divert the efforts and attention of our
management and technical personnel away from our business. We could be required to pay third party
infringement claims. In such cases, our financial conditions and business operations may be adversely
impacted.

37. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate and this may have as adverse effect on our
business and revenue.

45
We have not taken any insurance coverage for our Registered Office premises. Further, our existing
insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover all damages, whether foreseeable or not. Our
insurance policies are also subject to certain deductibles, exclusions and limits on coverage. We
cannot assure you that the terms of our insurance policies will be adequate to cover any damage or
loss suffered by us or that such coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be
available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim
coverage as to any future claim. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that
exceeds our available insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, including premium
increases or the imposition or a larger deductible or co-insurance requirement, could adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the price of our Equity
Shares to decline. For details on insurance policies taken by our Company please see page 119 in
chapter titled “Our Business” of Prospectus.

38. Our Company has during the preceding one year from the date of the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus have allotted Equity Shares at a price which is lower than the Issue Price.

In the last twelve months, we have made allotments of Equity Shares through bonus issue of shares
to the shareholders, which are given without any consideration to the shareholders. For details
relating to number of shares issued, date of allotment etc. please refer to chapter titled “Capital
Structure” beginning on page 69 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

39. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters could be lower than the floor
price.

Our Promoters average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company could be lower than the
Floor Price of the Price Band as may be decided by the Company in consultation with the Book
Running Lead Manager. For further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by
our Promoters in our Company and build-up of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company,
please refer chapter title “Capital Structure” beginning on page 69 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.

40. There is no monitoring agency appointed by our Company and the deployment of funds are at
the discretion of our Management and our Board of Directors, though it shall be monitored by
our Audit Committee

As per SEBI ICDR Regulations, appointment of monitoring agency is required only for Issue size above
Rs. 10,000.00 Lakhs. Hence, we have not appointed any monitoring agency to monitor the utilization of
Issue proceeds. However, the audit committee of our Board will monitor the utilization of Issue
proceeds in terms of SEBI LODR Regulations. Further, our Company shall inform about material
deviations in the utilization of Issue proceeds to the stock exchanges and shall also simultaneously make
the material deviations / adverse comments of the audit committee public.

External Risk Factors

41. Financial instability in other countries, particularly countries with emerging markets, could
disrupt Indian markets and our business and cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to
decrease.

46
 The Indian financial markets and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market
conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. Although economic
conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can
have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of
investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause volatility in Indian
financial markets and in the Indian economy. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a
negative effect on the Indian economy. Accordingly, any significant financial disruption could have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

42. Significant differences exist between Ind AS, Indian GAAP and other accounting principles,
such as US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which investors
may be more familiar with and consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.

Our restated summary statements of assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2019 and restated summary
statements of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), cash flows and changes in
equity for the Fiscals 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards
notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Ind AS Rules and restated in
accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the SEBI Circular and the Prospectus Guidance Note.

We have not attempted to quantify the impact of US GAAP, IFRS or any other system of accounting
principles on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a
reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP, IFRS or any other accounting
principles. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant respects from Ind AS and Indian GAAP.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Restated Financial Information included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of
familiarity with Ind AS, Indian GAAP and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not
familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.

43. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of
corporate and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects.

The regulatory and policy environment in India is evolving and subject to change. Such changes in applicable
law and policy in India, including the instances described below, may adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations, performance and prospects in India, to the extent that we are not able to suitably
respond to and comply with such changes. For instance, in November 2016, the Government of India
demonetized certain high-value denominations of currency. Trading and retail businesses in India were
impacted for a limited period of time on account of such demonetization. Such businesses have subsequently
needed to introduce additional point of sale instruments to improve their collection process. The Government of
India implemented a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”) regime that combines taxes and
levies by the central and state governments into a unified rate structure from July 1, 2017, which we believe will
result in fundamental changes to India’s third-party logistics industry. The implementation of the new GST
regime has increased the operational and compliance burden for Indian companies and has also led to various
uncertainties. Any future increases and amendments to the GST regime may further affect the overall tax
efficiency of companies operating in India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable. Our
business and financial performance could be adversely affected by any unexpected or onerous requirements or
regulations resulting from the introduction of GST or any changes in laws or interpretation of existing laws, or
the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations relating to GST, as it is implemented. Further, as GST is
implemented, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to comply with additional procedures
and/or obtain additional approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies or that they

47
will not impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. Any such changes and the related
uncertainties with respect to the implementation of GST may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

44. Civil unrest, acts of violence including terrorism or war involving India or other countries could
materially and adversely affect the financial markets and our business.

Any major hostilities involving India or other countries or other acts of violence, including civil
unrest including acts of terrorism or similar events that are beyond our control, could have a material
adverse effect on the Indian and/or global economies and our business. Terrorist attacks and other
acts of violence may adversely affect the Indian stock markets, where our Equity Shares will trade
and the global equity markets generally. Such events could also potentially lead to a severe economic
recession, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in India's economy.

India has witnessed civil disturbance in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well
as other social, economic and political events in India could have a negative impact on our business.
Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a
higher degree of risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and the price of our Equity
Shares.

45. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters may adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes,
fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military
actions, may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. The potential impact of a
natural disaster on our results of operations and financial position is speculative and would depend on
numerous factors. In addition, an outbreak of a communicable disease in India or in the particular
region in which we have projects would adversely affect our business and financial conditions and the
result of operations. We cannot assure prospective investors that such events will not occur in the
future or that our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will not be
adversely affected.

46. Political instability and significant changes in Government policy could adversely affect
economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.

Changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, Government policies, taxation, social and
ethnic instability and other political and economic developments in and affecting India may have an
adverse effect on our results of operations.

India has a mixed economy with a large public sector and an extensively regulated private sector.
The role of the Government and that of the state governments in the Indian economy and their effect
on producers, consumers, service providers and regulators has remained significant over the years.
Both state and central governments have, in the past, among other things, imposed controls on the
prices of a broad range of goods and services, restricted the ability of businesses to expand existing
capacity and reduce the number of their employees and determined the allocation to businesses of
raw materials and foreign exchange. Since 1991, successive Governments have pursued policies of
economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions in the private sector.

48
 Nevertheless, the role of the Government and state governments in the Indian economy as producers,
consumers and regulators has remained significant. There can be no assurance that the Government’s
past liberalization policies or political stability will continue in the future. Elimination or substantial
change of such policies or the introduction of policies that negatively affect the security service
industry could have an adverse effect on our business. Any significant change in India’s economic
liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India
generally and our business in particular.

47. We are subject to regulatory, economic and social and political uncertainties and other factors
beyond our control.

We are incorporated in India and we conduct our corporate affairs and our business in India. Our
Equity Shares are proposed to be listed on the BSE and the NSE, subject to the receipt of the final
listing and trading approvals from the respective Stock Exchanges. Consequently, our business,
operations, financial performance and the market price of our Equity Shares will be affected by
interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability and other political and
economic developments affecting India.

Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations may
include:

• the macroeconomic climate, including any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation
• any exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls and restrictions on the right
to convert or repatriate currency or export assets;
• any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse effect on economic
conditions in India and scarcity of financing for our expansions;
• prevailing income conditions among Indian clients and Indian corporations;
• political instability, terrorism, military conflict, epidemic or public health issues in India or in
countries in the region or globally, including in India’s various neighboring countries;
• macroeconomic factors and central bank regulation, including in relation to interest rates
movements which may in turn adversely impact our access to capital and increase our
borrowing costs;
• Instability in financial markets and volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading
activity on, India’s principal stock exchanges;
• decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves which may affect liquidity in the Indian economy;
• downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by rating agencies;
• difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on commercially
acceptable terms and/or a timely basis.
• changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies; and
• other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its logistics
sector.

Moreover, a fall in the purchasing power of our clients, for any reason whatsoever, including rising
consumer inflation, availability of financing to our clients, changing governmental policies and a
slowdown in economic growth may have an adverse effect on our clients’ revenues, savings and could
in turn negatively affect their demand for our products. For instance, demonetization of 500 and 1,000
currency notes was announced in November 2016. The immediate impact of the announcement led to
people depositing their cash in banks and the Indian economy was drained out of liquid cash for a
brief period. In addition, any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific

49
sectors of the Indian economy, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition and the price of the Equity Shares.

48. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources.

We are not a listed company. We have not been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs
by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company.
As a listed company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other
expenses that we did not incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the Equity Listing
Agreements with the Stock Exchange which will require us to file audited annual and half yearly
reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may
fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and
accordingly report any changes in our results of operations as promptly as other listed companies.

Further, as a listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including
keeping adequate records of daily transactions to support the existence of effective disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and
improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required.

As a result, our management’s attention may be diverted from business concerns, which may
adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we
may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate listed company
experience and technical accounting knowledge but cannot assure that we will be able to do so in
a timely and efficient manner.

49. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could adversely affect
our business.

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by domestic or
international rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing, and
the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This
could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance, ability to obtain
financing for capital expenditures and the price of the Equity Shares.

50. The trading volume and market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile following the Issue.

The market price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among other things, the
following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
• quarterly variations in our results of operations;
• results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
• results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;
• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by
research analysts and investors;
• a change in research analysts’ recommendations;
• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint
operations or capital commitments;
• announcements by third parties/ governmental entities of significant claims/ proceedings
against us;

50
 • new laws and governmental regulations applicable to our industry;
• additions or departures of key management personnel;
• changes in exchange rates;
• changes in the price of oil or gas;
• fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; and
• general economic and stock market conditions.

Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of the
Equity Shares.

RISK RELATING TO THE EQUITY SHARES

51. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked securities
by us and any sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters or significant shareholders may dilute
your shareholding and adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity
Shares by us may dilute your shareholding in our Company, adversely affect the trading price of
the Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our securities. In addition,
any perception by investors that such issuances or sales may occur, including complying with the
minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India, may significantly
affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that we will not issue
further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber
the Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity Shares by any of our significant shareholders, or the
perception that such sales may occur, may significantly affect the trading price of the Equity
Shares.

52. There are restrictions on daily/ weekly/ monthly movements in the price of the Equity Shares,
which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell or the price at which it can sell, Equity
Shares at a particular point in time.

Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breaker imposed by Stock Exchange on which the
Company is listed, which does not allow transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in
the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based
market- wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on different Stock Exchanges. The
percentage limit on circuit breakers is set by the Stock Exchange based on the historical volatility
in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The Stock Exchange do not inform us of
the percentage limit of the circuit breaker in effect from time to time and may change it without
our knowledge. This circuit breaker limits the upward and download movements in the price of
the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no assurance may be given regarding your
ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares
at any particular time.

53. The Issue price of our Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity
Shares after the Issue and the market price of our Equity Shares may decline below the issue
price and you may not be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price

The Issue Price of our Equity Shares will be determined by Book Built method. This price is be
based on numerous factors (For further information, please refer chapter titled “Basis for Issue
Price” beginning on page 90 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus) and may not be indicative of

51
 the market price of our Equity Shares after the Issue. The market price of our Equity Shares could
be subject to significant fluctuations after the Issue and may decline below the Issue Price. We
cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
Among the factors that could affect our share price include without limitation. The following:

• Quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as earnings per share,
net income and revenues;
• Changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
• Speculation in the press or investment community;
• General market conditions; and
• Domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our
performance.

54. QIB and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms
of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted
to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any
stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/
Issue Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/ Issue Closing Date. While our Company is
required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Issue within six Working Days from the Bid/
Issue Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares,
including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial,
political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations or financial condition may
arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the
Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the Bidders
ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Issue or cause the trading price of the
Equity Shares to decline on listing.

55. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares
in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity
shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months will not be subject to capital gains tax
in India, up to an amount of Rs. 1 lakh, if Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”) has been paid on
the transaction. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the
equity shares are sold. Any gain realized on the sale of equity shares held for more than 12
months to an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange and on
which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India. Further, any
gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be
subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity
Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India
is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident.
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a
result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own
jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares. In addition, changes in the terms of tax
treaties or in their interpretation, as a result of renegotiations or otherwise, may affect the tax
treatment of capital gains arising from a sale of Equity Shares.

52
 Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to
attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-
residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions), if they comply with
the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares,
which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting
requirements or falls under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then the prior approval of
RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale
of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a
no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot
assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can
be obtained on any particular terms or at all. For further details, please refer to chapter titled
"Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities" beginning on page 311 of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.

56. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition,
working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants of our financing
arrangements.

Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on a number of factors, including but not
limited to the earnings, working capital requirements, contractual obligations, applicable legal
restrictions and overall financial condition of our Company. We may decide to retain all of our
Company’s earnings to finance the development and expansion of our Company’s business and
therefore, our Company may not declare dividends on the Equity Shares. Any future
determination as to the declaration and payment of dividend will be at the discretion of our Board
and will depend on factors that our Board deems relevant, including among others, our future
earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other financing
arrangements. For details of dividends paid by our Company in the past, please refer to chapter
titled "Dividend Policy" beginning on page 180 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

57. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.

Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities,
and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another
jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not
be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company
than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.

58. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an
adverse effect on the value of the Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

On listing, the Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any
dividends in respect of the Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently
converted into the relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement
in currency exchange rates during the time that it takes to undertake such conversion may reduce
the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange
rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares,

53
 for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of
Equity Shares may reduce the proceeds received by equity shareholders. For example, the
exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years
and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on
the trading price of the Equity Shares and returns on the Equity Shares, independent of our
operating results.

59. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile or an active trading market for our Equity
Shares may not develop.

Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. The trading price of
our Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue due to a variety of factors, including our results
of operations and the performance of our business, competitive conditions, general economic,
political and social factors, the performance of the Indian and global economy and significant
developments in India’s fiscal regime, volatility in the Indian and global securities market,
performance of our competitors, the Indian capital markets, changes in the estimates of our
performance or recommendations by financial analysts and announcements by us or others
regarding contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments.
In addition, if the stock markets experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our
Equity Shares could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or
operating results. The trading price of our Equity Shares might also decline in reaction to events
that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of
these factors, among others, could materially affect the price of our Equity Shares. There can be
no assurance that an active trading market for our Equity Shares will develop or be sustained
after this Issue or that the price at which our Equity Shares are initially offered will correspond to
the prices at which they will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.

Justification for “Holding Period” levels:

The justifications for the holding levels mentioned in the table above are provided below:

Assets- Current Assets

Work-in-Progress and stores and spares: Holding level of inventories was 52.62 days
in Financial Year 2018-19 and 61.18 days during the Financial Year 2019-20 based on
the ongoing utilization. On the basis of estimation and projection, the holding period is
assumed to be 76.28 and 76.13 days in Financial Years 2020-21 and 2021-22
Inventories respectively, taking into consideration the size of orders in hand, existing systems,
projected activity schedule and various factors involved in the execution of projects and
processing bills thereto such as site-inspection, confirmation, approval to raise running
account bills and processing of the bills.

Receivables realization period was 37.53 days in Financial Year 2018-19 and slight
increase to 40 days estimated for Financial Year 2019-20. Taking into consideration the
time period for processing the bills by our Oil and Gas distributor customers particularly
in relation to big orders, the realization period for debtors has been expected to increase
Trade to 60 days for the Financial Years 2020-21 and 2021-22.
Receivables
Earlier the size/ quantum of the projects on which the Company was working, were
comparatively smaller in size. In big projects the bills will be released only after the
completion and certification of the third party QC teams.

85
 Assets- Current Liabilities
The credit period in Financial Year 2018-19 was 55.06 days and is expected decrease to
38.92 days during Financial Year 2019-20. It is estimated to decrease to 17.26 days for
Financial Year 2020-21 and projected to further decrease to 15.76 days for Financial
Trade Year 2021-22 based on the financial estimation and projections prepared. This is
Payables because the quantum of materials used by the Company in its project execution are
minimal and do not exceed around 10% of the project cost. For cash purchases of
inventory/ spares/ other raw materials the Company get discounts ranging from 5% to
10% thus it is preferred.

The above estimates are based on the generally accepted norms of our bankers. The Board at its meeting
held on [●], approved the plan of utilization of Issue Proceeds as stated hereinabove. This amount is based
on our management’s current estimates of the amounts to be utilized towards the respective objects.
However, the actual deployment of funds will depend on a number of factors affecting our results of
operation, financial condition and access to capital. Further, in the event that there is a surplus under any
head, such amount shall be utilized towards general corporate purpose.

b) General Corporate Purposes

Our Company intends to deploy the balance Net Proceeds aggregating to Rs. [●] Lakhs for General
Corporate Purposes as decided by our board, we have flexibility in applying the remaining proceeds after
meeting issue expenses for general corporate purpose including but not restricted to, meeting operating
expenses, strengthening of our business development and marketing capabilities, meeting exigencies which
the Company in the ordinary course of business may not foresee or any other purpose as approved by our
board of Directors, subject to compliance with the necessary provisions of the Companies Act.

Indian Economy:

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top
three economic powers of the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its strong democracy and
partnerships. India’s nominal GDP growth rate is estimated at 12 per cent in 2019-20. The estimate for
2018-19 was 11.5 per cent. During Q1 of 2019-20, GDP (at constant 2011-12 prices) grew by 5 per cent.
India has retained its position as the third largest startup base in the world with over 4,750 technology
startups, with about 1,400 new start-ups being founded in 2016, according to a report by NASSCOM.

The World Bank has stated that private investments in India is expected to grow by 8.8 per cent in FY
2018-19 to overtake private consumption growth of 7.4 per cent, and thereby drive the growth in India's
gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 2018-19. India is expected to retain its position as the world’s leading
recipient of remittances in 2018, with total remittances touching US$ 80 billion, according to World Bank’s
migration and development brief.

India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to reach US$ 6 trillion by FY27 and achieve upper-
middle income status on the back of digitization, globalization, favorable demographics, and reforms.
India's revenue receipts are estimated to touch Rs 28-30 trillion (US$ 385-412 billion) by 2019, owing to
Government of India's measures to strengthen infrastructure and reforms like demonetization and Goods
and Services Tax (GST).

India is also focusing on renewable sources to generate energy. It is planning to achieve 40 per cent of its
energy from non-fossil sources by 2030 which is currently 30 per cent and also have plans to increase its
renewable energy capacity from to 175 GW by 2022.

India is expected to be the third largest consumer economy as its consumption may triple to US$ 4 trillion
by 2025, owing to shift in consumer behaviour and expenditure pattern, according to a Boston Consulting
Group (BCG) report; and is estimated to surpass USA to become the second largest economy in terms of
purchasing power parity (PPP) by the year 2040, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Global Oil and Gas Industry Scenario:

Global energy consumption in 2018 increased at nearly twice the average rate of growth since 2010,
primarily driven by a robust global economy and higher heating and cooling needs in some parts of the
world. Higher electricity demand was responsible for over half of the growth in energy needs. Demand for
all fuels increased, led by natural gas, even as solar and wind posted double digit growth.

Though world is making progress along a lower carbon emission path, oil and gas would continue to be
leading energy sources for the decades ahead, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) being
plentiful, accessible, cost-effective and –especially in the case of natural gas – cleaner-burning. Oil demand
provided a relatively stable backdrop, continuing to grow robustly, increasing 1.4 Mb/d last year. In an
absolute sense, the growth in demand was dominated by the developing world, with China (0.7 Mb/d) and
India (0.3 Mb/d) accounting for almost two thirds of the global increase. But relative to the past 10 years or
so, the big outlier was the US, where oil demand grew by 0.5 Mb/d in 2018, its largest increase for well over
10 years, boosted by increased demand for ethane as new production capacity came on stream.

The increased importance of petrochemicals in driving oil demand growth was also evident in the global
product breakdown, with products most closely related to petrochemicals (ethane, LPG and naphtha)
accounting for around half of the overall growth in demand last year. Against this backdrop of steady
demand growth, on supply side global production grew by a whopping 2.2 Mb/d, more than double its
historical average. The vast majority of this growth was driven by US production, which grew by 2.2 Mb/d –
the largest ever annual increase by a single country. Since 2012 and the onset of the tight oil revolution, US
production (including NGLs) has increased by over 7 Mb/d – broadly equivalent to Saudi Arabia's crude oil
exports – an astonishing increase which has transformed both the structure of the US economy and global oil
market dynamics. Largely as a consequence, US net oil imports shrunk to less than 3 Mb/d last year,
compared with over 12 Mb/d in 2005.

For natural gas, 2018 was a good year with both global consumption and production increasing by over 5%,
one of the strongest growth rates in either gas demand or output for over 30 years. The main actor here was
the US, accounting for almost 40% of global demand growth and over 45% of the increase in production.

Indian Oil and Gas Industry:

The oil and gas sector is among the eight core industries in India and plays a major role in influencing
decision making for all the other important sections of the economy.

India’s economic growth is closely related to energy demand; therefore, the need for oil and gas is
projected to grow more, thereby making the sector quite conducive for investment.

The Government of India has adopted several policies to fulfil the increasing demand. The government has
allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in many segments of the sector, including natural
gas, petroleum products, and refineries, among others. Today, it attracts both domestic and foreign
investment, as attested by the presence of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Cairn India.

Gas pipeline infrastructure in the country stood at 16,226 km at the beginning of February 2019.
Government of India is planning to invest Rs 70,000 crore (US$ 9.97 billion) to expand the gas pipeline
network across the country.

98
Energy demand of India is anticipated to grow faster than energy demand of all major economies, on the
back of continuous robust economic growth. Consequently, India’s energy demand as a percentage of
global energy demand is expected to rise to 11 per cent in 2040 from 5.58 per cent in 2017.

Crude oil consumption is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.60 per cent to 500 million tonnes by 2040 from
221.76 million tonnes in 2017.

Natural Gas consumption is forecasted to increase at a CAGR of 4.31 per cent to 143.08 million tonnes by
2040 from 54.20 million tonnes in 2017.

Natural Gas Infrastructure in India:

The Indian economy presently is believed to have established itself on a healthy growth path and this would
increase going forward the energy consumption in the country. This increase in consumption is expected to
be supplemented by an alteration in the primary energy mix of India because of the substitution of oil by
natural gas. The share of natural gas in the energy mix of India is expected to increase to 20% in 2025 as
compared to 11% in 2010. However, given that all the plans for expansion in natural gas supply in the
country with the help of additional RLNG terminals, nationwide transmission pipeline network and
transnational pipelines are expected to materialize by 2025, it is envisaged that the share of natural gas in
the primary energy mix would reach 20% until 2030 if not more.

In recent years the demand for natural gas in India has increased significantly due to its higher availability,
development of transmission and distribution infrastructure, the savings from the usage of natural gas in
place of alternate fuels, the environment friendly characteristics of natural gas as a fuel and the overall
favourable economics of supplying gas at reasonable prices to end consumers. Power and Fertilizer sector
remain the two biggest contributors to natural gas demand in India and continue to account for more than
55% of gas consumption. In future, the natural gas demand is all set to grow significantly at a CAGR of
6.8% from 242.6 MMSCMD (Million Metric Standard Cubic Meter Per Day) in 2012-13 to 746
MMSCMD in 2029-30.

This demand represents the Realistic Demand for natural gas in India. Gas based power generation is
expected to contribute the highest, in the range of 36% to 47%, to this demand in the projected period
(2012-13 to 2029-30). The contribution to the overall demand from the CGD sector is set to increase from
6% to 11% during the projected period.

The supply of natural gas is likely to increase in future with the help of increase in domestic gas production
and imported LNG. However, the expected increase in domestic production at present is significantly lower
than earlier projections due to a steady reduction in gas output from the KG D6 field. The capacity of
RLNG terminals in India is expected to increase from 17.3 MMTPA in 2012-13 to 83 MMTPA in 2029-30
assuming all the existing and planned terminals in India would materialize. Natural gas availability through
non-conventional sources like Shale Gas and Gas Hydrates has not been considered in gas supply
projections in the absence of clarity on key variables like data as most of India remains
unexplored/underexplored, regulatory policy and lack of domestic infrastructure. The total supply of
natural gas is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2012 to 2030 reaching 400 MMSCMD by 2021-
22 and 474 MMSCMD by 2029-30.

India, currently, has a network of about 13,000 km of natural gas transmission pipelines with a design
capacity of around 337 MMSCMD. This pipeline network is expected to expand to around 28,000 Kms
with a total design capacity of around 721 MMSCMD in next 5-6 years, putting in place most of the

99
national gas grid that would connect all major demand and supply centre in India. This would ensure wider
availability across all regions and also potentially help to achieve uniform economic and social progress.
The design capacity of pipeline network in India is expected to reach 815 MMSCMD in 2029-30. However,
considering the addition of capacity directly linked to the existing/planned sources of natural gas in the
country, the gas grid capacity in India (pipeline emanating from source) is expected to reach 582
MMSCMD in 2029-30 from the present 274 MMSCMD. This capacity is expected to take care of the
natural gas supply scenario in the projected period. In addition to the trunk lines regional gas pipelines,
similar to the intra-state network of Gujarat, are recommended for highly industrialized states. It is
expected that going forward the Southern and Northern part of India would catch-up with the Western part
in terms of pipeline infrastructure while Eastern and North Eastern part of the country would lag behind
and would require policy boost for industrial development to attract more investments.

Today, the natural gas sector is at the threshold of rapid growth in India supported by ever increasing
demand for natural gas in the country, increased exploration efforts under NELP, commissioning of the
LNG import terminals in the West Coast, projected upcoming LNG terminals and the Government’s
initiatives in the direction of development of a nation wide natural gas pipeline grid.

Certain regulatory reforms remain critical to the development and efficient usage of natural gas
infrastructure In India. A fair and transparent access to the pipeline infrastructure is a key for movement of
gas volumes. Currently the regulations provide for open access and have mandated accounting separation
between transportation and marketing activities. To further develop the market the regulator should
unbundle (legal unbundling) the marketing and transportation activities in next 2-3 years’ time. This would
prevent restrictions imposed by pipeline companies through non-price measures on competition. Post legal
unbundling the timing of ownership separation can be determined by the regulator based on factors like
transparency adopted by transportation companies in dealing with their trading affiliates, number of
shippers in the business and the choice exercised by consumers.

Based on the plans for expansion in natural gas supply in the country with the help of additional RLNG
terminals, nationwide transmission pipeline network and transnational pipelines expected to materialize in
next 5 to 10 years, it is envisaged that the share of natural gas in the primary energy mix would reach 20%
till 2030. However, to achieve a 20% share of natural gas in the primary energy it is required to attract and
sustain investments in the gas infrastructure including the Cross-Country Pipelines.

There are presently three major pipeline entities engaged in natural gas transportation across India namely
GAIL, RGTIL/RGPL and GSPL. GAIL is operating about 11411 km of trunk pipelines in India comprising
70% of the pan-India pipeline network. This includes HVJ, DVPL, DUPL/DPPL, Dadri-Bawana-Nangal
and Dabhol-Bengaluru trunk pipelines to evacuate domestic gas as well as imported RLNG. In addition,
GAIL also operates regional gas pipeline networks in Maharashtra, K.G.Basin, Cauvery Basin and Gujarat.
RGTIL and RGPL are operating 1784 km of pipelines (about 11% of pan India network), namely the East-
West Pipeline (EWPL) to evacuate gas from KG-D6 field in Andhra Pradesh and the Shadol-Phulpur
Pipeline respectively. GSPL is mainly focused in the state of Gujarat consisting of about 2692 km gas
pipelines (about 16% of total).

The spread of pipeline network of different transporters is as under:

S. no. Transporter Length in km Percentage share
1 GAIL 11411 69.9%
2 RGTIL / RGPL 1784 10.9%
3 GSPL 2692 16.5%
4 AGCL/DNPL 297 1.8%

100
 5 IOCL 140 0.9%
Total 16324 100.0%

The natural gas is primarily sourced from KG-D6, Mumbai offshore, Cambay Basin, Ravva Offshore, KG
Basin, Cauvery basin and through import of LNG.

Crude Oil Infrastructure in India:

India has been the third largest energy consumer in 2017. India has 23 refineries, out of which 18 are in the
public sector, two in the joint sector and three in the private sector. As of 2017, the country had 600 million
metric tonnes (MMT) of proven oil reserves. India had 4.5 thousand million barrels of proven oil reserves
at the end of 2018 and produced 39.5 million tonnes in 2018. Oil consumption has expanded at a CAGR of
5.24 per cent during 2007–18 to reach 5.16 MBPD by 2019. Due to the expected strong growth in demand,
India’s dependency on oil imports is likely to increase further. Rapid economic growth is leading to greater
outputs, which in turn is increasing the demand of oil for production and transportation. India’s domestic
crude oil production in July 2019 stood at 2,769 thousand metric tonnes (TMT). India’s crude oil demand is
expected to increase over 150 per cent to 10.1 million tonnes per day by 2040. The government is planning
to invest US$ 2.86 billion in the upstream oil and gas production to double the natural gas production to 60
BCM and drill more than 120 exploration wells by 2022.The government is planning to invest US$ 2.86
billion in the upstream oil and gas production to double the natural gas production to 60 BCM and drill
more than 120 exploration wells by 2022.

Crude oil throughput of public sector refineries has grown at a CAGR of 3.81 per cent from 108.03 MMT
in FY 2007 to 169.16 MMT in FY 2019. During the same time, crude oil throughput of private sector
refineries has grown at a CAGR of 8.40 per cent from 33.43 MMT to 88.04 MMT. The share of private
sector refineries’ throughput in total crude throughput has grown from 29.99 per cent in FY 2007 to 34.24
per cent in FY 2019.

Pipelines: Crude Pipeline Network

101
As of April 01, 2019, India had a network of 10,419 km of crude pipeline having a capacity of 145.6
MMTPA(1). In terms of length, IOCL accounts for 50.88 per cent (5,301 km) of India’s crude pipeline
network. In terms of actual capacities, ONGC leads the pack with a share of 41.62 per cent, followed by
IOCL at 33.38 per cent. Government of India is planning to invest Rs 70,000 crore (US$ 9.97 billion) to
expand the gas pipeline network across the country.

Present Demand Scenario-Natural Gas

Natural Gas demand has increased significantly in recent years due to the increase in the availability of gas,
development of transmission and distribution infrastructure, the savings from the usage of natural gas in
place of alternate fuels and the overall favourable economics of supplying gas at reasonable prices to end
consumers. It has become easier for the power, fertilizer and CGD sectors, as well as industrial and
commercial establishments, to switch over to natural gas for their energy requirements. In the near future,
power and fertilizer sectors are expected to remain the anchor segments for natural gas demand in India.
Going forward though, with the additional supply of gas, significant demand for natural gas is also
expected to come from the industrial (usage both in process and power generation - cogeneration) and CGD
segments.

Demand Projections
Natural gas demand from the power sector is expected to be driven, not only by the shortage of domestic
coal supply and the rising cost of its substitute i.e. imported coal but also by increased domestic gas supply
and power sector reforms. The process of addressing environmental concerns is expected to drive the
demand of natural gas from the industrial users as well as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) users in the
CGD segment. Factors like availability of domestic gas, import of LNG and development of requisite
infrastructure are also expected to push the growth of natural gas demand from the CGD user segment. The
key demand drivers for key user segments have been summarized below:
 Environmental concerns
 Subsidy burden
 Enabling policy framework
 Supply of domestic gas
 Availability of affordable RLNG

102
  Requisite infrastructure
 GDP / Household income

City Gas Distribution (CGD) sector in India has seen rapid growth in recent years due to relatively high
affordability and has the capacity to absorb prices of gas higher than power and fertilizer sectors. Usage of
natural gas has proved to be economical vis-a-vis competing fuels for most of the user segments within the
CGD space. Natural gas demand for CGD sector is expected to rise steadily due to the addition of gas
networks in new cities, price advantage of CNG and increased use of PNG in domestic, industrial and
commercial sectors. Environmental concerns will further push the use of natural gas especially in the
automotive and industrial segment (coal replacement).

For projecting the natural gas demand for this user segment a base demand of 13.6 MMSCMD has been
considered in 2010-11 which takes into account the gas consumption by all the existing CGD entities in
India. The cumulative sales volumes for three major CGD players IGL, MGL and GGCL grew at around
8%-9% from 2007 to 2011. However, this rate of growth is expected to slow down as the existing
businesses become mature on higher base effect. Therefore, the natural gas demand from the existing CGD
entities has been assumed to grow at a rate 20%-30% lower than their growth rate in the past five years till
the end of 13th five-year plan.

Additional CGD network has been assumed to be set up in ten Geographical Areas (GA) every year from
2016-17 till the end of the 13th five year plan, considering that out of more than 240 GA’s that are planned
to have a CGD network, the most feasible 60 GA’s would have a CGD network by 2021- 22. The
feasibility of a GA has been broadly assessed based on its population (more than 0.2 million) and its
proximity to an existing or a planned transmission pipeline. Natural gas demand of 0.3 MMSCMD has
been assumed for each of the 60 GAs in the first year of operation based on the experience of the existing
CGD networks. This demand has been assumed to grow at an annual rate of 5% considering that the new
CGD networks would have significantly lower demand to capture (due to high cost RLNG to be used by
CGD’s) when compared to the already established CGD.

Post 13th five year plan it has been assumed that the total demand for the CGD sector i.e. the demand
considering the CGD networks that exist today as well as those that would be setup till the end of 13 th five
year plan, assumed to grow at a rate of 8% annually. The total demand from CGD sector is expected to
grow from 15.3 MMSCMD in 2012-13 to 85.6 MMSCMD in 2029-30 at a CAGR of 10.7%.

Realistic
Demand

The total realistic natural gas demand is likely to grow from 242.66 MMSCMD in 2012-13 to 746 MMSCMD in
2029-30 (CAGR of 6.83%) over the projection period. The trajectory of growth in demand has been depicted in
Figure:

The share of natural gas demand for CGD sector in the total gas demand is expected to increase
significantly over the projection period from 6% in 2012-13 to about 11% in 2029-30.

Natural gas demand in India is expected to register a healthy growth in the years to come. However, the
growth in demand could be much more rapid than expected if the constraints linked to availability of
natural gas and infrastructure used for its transport are addressed in future.

Regional distribution of demand

Natural gas market in India could be divided into six regions based on geographic location. These areas
have been shown in below Figure.

proportion of the state wise demand as projected in the ICF report “Technical Assistance for the India
National Gas Grid Study” submitted to PPAC in July 2011. The estimated region wise demand projections
have been given below.

Currently the natural gas demand far exceeds domestic supply in India and the situation is likely to prevail
in future as well. Given that there are very few new domestic sources available, additional demand is likely
to be catered through RLNG in future or through transnational pipelines in absence of any large domestic
discoveries.

Natural Gas Infrastructure

India has a relatively under-developed gas pipeline infrastructure when compared to some developed
countries. However, it is growing rapidly in tune with increasing demand and growing natural gas supplies.
India, currently, has a network of 16,900 km of natural gas transmission pipelines. This network is
expected to expand to 35,000 kms of pipelines in next 2-3 years taking the country close to the formation of
a National Gas Grid connecting all major demand and supply centers in India. This will ensure wider and
uniform availability of gas across all regions for economic and social progress.

Present state of Infrastructure

GAIL India (“GAIL”) owns the largest network of the natural gas transmission infrastructure present in the
country. The company currently owns and operates 9,000km (approx.) of high-pressure natural gas
pipelines with a transmission capacity of more than 160mmscmd. At around 3,750 km in length, GAIL’s
Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline is the longest natural gas pipeline network in the country
operating at 100% capacity. With no free capacity, this network has been unable to meet the increase in
domestic natural gas supplies stemming from the commencement of production at the KG D6 field and the
increase in India’s overall RLNG capacity. To overcome this problem, GAIL has done expansion and
upgradation of its network. The rest of the country’s natural gas trunk pipelines network is owned by
Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL) and Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Limited (RGTIL)
with a small network owned by Gujarat Gas Company Limited (GGCL) and Assam Gas Company Limited
(AGCL). Although the gas pipeline coverage has increased, it is still inadequate to channelize the gas
supply to demand centers in the country. The present state of natural gas transmission infrastructure in the
country has been summarized in the table below.

Infrastructure Projection:

The buildup of natural gas infrastructure in India from 2012-13 to 2029-30 is projected based on the plan
document of the government. Gas infrastructure projects linked to the pipelines authorized in 2007 by the
central government and those authorized later through bidding route by PNGRB (that are slated for
completion in the next few years as well as the pipelines planned for future), have been considered in terms
of the length and design capacities of the corresponding pipelines in this document. Other possible
infrastructure additions as per the National Gas Grid (NGG) have also been considered for projecting
natural gas infrastructure in India till 2030. Gaps identified post factoring all these planned pipelines have
then been considered for completing the gas grid.

Pipeline Infrastructure – Development Plans

To address the regional imbalance of pipeline networks present in the country, MoPNG in the year 2007

By the end of the 13th five year plan, India is expected to have a natural gas pipeline network of around
31,432 kms with a design capacity of 782 MMSCMD with a nation wide gas grid and more uniform
pipeline network coverage in place.

At the end of the of the projection period in 2030, the design capacity of the natural gas pipeline network in
India is expected to touch 815 MMSCMD.

Scope for further development

India is expected to have circa 32,727 kms of natural gas pipeline with a design capacity of 815
MMSCMD in place by 2030. However, the addition of ‘capacity at source’ i.e. the capacity that actually
connects supply points to the markets is likely to increase to 582 MMSCMD only. This capacity indicates
the potential of the gas transport pipeline infrastructure to meet the demand in the country. The expected
demand, supply and pipeline capacity at source for the projection period has been provided in the Table.

While the capacity at source in India is likely to be higher than the gas supply for all the projection years,it
is likely to fall behind the total demand starting from 2023-24 till the end of the projection period in 2030
as shown in figure below.

Pipeline capacity compared to demand & Supply of gas

This suggests that further addition in pipeline infrastructure, in addition to the current plans, would be
required post 13th five year plan to meet the rising demand for natural gas in the country. Regional markets
with the biggest gap between the demand and planned addition in capacity need to be targeted for further
expansion of pipeline infrastructure so that the infrastructure keeps pace with the ever rising demand. The

110
expected share of each regional market in the total demand and planned pipeline capacity has been
provided in Table.

North Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal,
J&K, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi,
Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan 206.9 (25%) 215.1 (29%)
West Bengal, Bihar,

Central Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh 74.4 (9%) 37.1 (5%)
Total All 815 (100%) 746 (100%)

As can be seen above, the share of planned pipeline capacity for all regions is likely to meet the share of
demand for these markets till 2030. However, since the difference is not substantial and pipelines do
require additional capacities, more pipelines could be planned to cover these regional markets based on
actual progress in the buildup of demand. It should also be noted that the share of natural gas demand and
pipeline infrastructure in the eastern and north-eastern markets is significantly lower than that for the other
regions. There is a need to commit more resources towards stimulating demand in these regions so that
greater balance is achieved in terms of the availability of natural gas. The increase in natural gas demand in
the eastern and north-eastern regions resulting from additional initiatives and resources would need to be
coupled with addition of more natural gas pipeline infrastructure here to support the development of the
natural gas markets in these regions.

Capacity building (resources) to help development of natural gas infrastructure

Considering the exponential growth of gas transmission pipelines and CGD networks that India is expected
to see in near future, availability of skilled/semi-skilled work force is going to prove critical to the
materialization of the gas infrastructure development plans. Although technological developments have led
to reduction in manpower requirements for development of natural gas infrastructure over time, they have
not been able to totally offset the latter. At the same time, existing institutions have not been able to provide
the industry with a stable supply of skilled/semi-skilled man power as a result of which the gap between the
demand and supply of trained manpower has been increasing annually in recent years. Going forward, this
shortfall in trained manpower may lead to delays in projects and cost overrun thereby posing serious threat
to gas infrastructure development projects. Therefore, it is essential that policy initiatives be taken to set up
additional training institutes that can address the shortfall of skilled and semi-skilled workmen. The
initiative can also be taken by private/ public sector oil & gas companies as part of their Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) programmes.

Long Term gas tie ups:

The increasing usage of natural gas would not only be cleaner for the environment but it would also lead to
greater diversification of the energy/fuel basket of India thereby strengthening the country’s energy

111
security. But in order to increase the consumption of natural gas in the country on a sustained basis, long
term reliable supply arrangements/tie ups would be needed in addition to augmenting domestic energy
resource base. This can be either through transnational pipeline or import of LNG.

Hence to ensure long term energy security of India, Govt. of India and its agencies should work with its
political / diplomatic channels to provide necessary support to the importers of gas on tying up long term
resources in foreign country which can either flow through LNG route or through pipelines based on the
geographical proximity with the country

This is important since the issue assumes geopolitical overtones. Also all large consumers of gas like China
are working at the highest level in the government to ensure such suppliers for long term.

Natural Gas in India:

Share of Natural Gas in India’s energy basket is 6.2% as against 23.4% globally. In India, in the state of
Gujarat itself, it is 25%. The country aims to achieve share of Natural Gas in our energy basket from 6.2%
to 15%.In India, a very large number of households still depend upon wood, crop wastes, dung cakes for
kitchen fuel. These increase household pollution, severely impacting the health of women and children in
particular Natural Gas (as CNG) is cheaper by 54% and 41% as compared to petrol and diesel respectively.
PNG is safer than LPG. PNG being lighter than air, dissipates immediately in the air in case of leak. The
flow of PNG can be easily controlled by various safety checks/valves installed in the system. As PNG is
supplied through pipe, it is an uninterrupted supply round-the-clock. There is no need to store cylinders in
the kitchen and thus it is space economical. Existing LPG appliances with minor modification can be used
for PNG.

In the Union Budget 2019-20, Government of India, while presenting the budget proposed to make
available a blueprint for developing gas grids, water grids, i-ways, and regional airports. The
recommendations of the High-Level Empowered Committee (HLEC) on retirement of old and inefficient
plants, and addressing low utilisation of Gas plant capacity due to paucity of Natural Gas, will also be taken
up for implementation.

Policy Enablers to Promote Gas Usage in India

 Regulatory interventions
o CNG in public transport in certain cities
o Ban on Pet coke and Furnace Oil - Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan
 Domestic gas allocation for PNG (Domestic) and CNG (Transport)
 CGD granted “Public Utility” status
 State Governments commitment for facilitation of CGD networks
 Government’s drive to connect 10 million households to PNG by 2020

Pipeline Infrastructure Projects O&M Services

PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE:

Our pipeline infrastructure business comprises of undertaking projects for laying of pipelines in Cross-
Country Pipeline projects as well as for setting up City Gas Distribution network and construction of
associated facilities.

Cross-Country Pipeline Projects and associated facilities:

Our Cross-Country Pipeline projects entail laying of oil and gas pipelines over long distances across the
country. It includes oil and gas pipeline laying along with construction of associated facilities which
comprises of providing fabrication, erection, installation, testing and commissioning of the underground
pipelines including associated mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation and optical fibre
works. Advanced measures such as Global Positioning System (GPS) aided surveys, 3 LPE joint coating
for pipelines, development of Flux-cored Arc Welding (FCAW) Semi-Automatic Welding Technique and
advanced NDT techniques are adopted depending on the requirements of the project.

As on April 1, 2019, there were three major pipeline entities engaged in natural gas transportation across
India namely GAIL, RGTIL/RGPL and GSPL, where GAIL was operating about 11411 Kms of trunk
pipelines in India comprising 70% of the pan-India pipeline network. 1 Natural gas is primarily sourced
from KG-D6, Mumbai offshore, Cambay Basin, Ravva Offshore, KG Basin, Cauvery basin and through
import of LNG.

The other associated services with CCP Projects include:

121
1. Civil work:

We undertake civil works at our sites for the execution of our projects as per the requirements of the
project. Our work includes earth work such as area cleaning, grading, excavation, filling, RCC supports
and foundations for above ground piping, pump sheds, warehouses, control rooms buildings and
equipment installation, etc. carried out as per scope and specifications of the project. This also includes
structural works for various equipment, piping and other structures.

2. Mechanical and Piping works:

Up on receipt of piping material at site, pre-fabrication of piping is done, above ground pipes are
fabricated and erected on the foundations. Equipment and valves are installed. Prior to erection of the
above ground pipes, these pipes are properly leveled and sand blasted and applied with one coat of
primer as per standards and specifications. After erection, alignment fitment on the foundations,
welding and NDT and hydro testing are carried out. Final painting, of the above ground piping, fittings
and valves are carried out. Cold insulation works are carried out by an approved agency.

Underground pipes are laid after excavation which is carried out to the required depth and width. Joint
coating is done and again the joint coated area is tested by the holiday detector. Pipes are lowered.
Hydro testing and backfilling operation are carried out and the necessary valves, fittings, scrapper
launcher and receiver are installed.

3. Electrical, instrumentation and optical fibre works:

We also carry out electrical, instrumentation & optical fibre works at our sites which include various
types of field pressure instruments and temperature instruments, panels and cathodic protection works as
per contractual requirement. All instruments are supplied and installed at the sites provided by client.
Cabling, earthing, termination, testing and commissioning works are carried out as per contractual
requirements.

Pipeline laid for a Cross-Country Project

City Gas Distribution along with PNG Network & CNG Stations:

CGD projects entail transportation or distribution of natural gas to consumers in domestic, commercial or
industrial and transport sectors through a network of pipelines. In other words, CGD projects cater to the

122
 following segments viz. domestic household use; commercial use such as manufacturing industry, power
generation, hotels, hospitals, restaurant and offices; and transport sector use in vehicles. Petroleum &
Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) rolls out bidding rounds for setting up City Gas Distribution
(CGD) networks in cities and districts across the country to cover areas which could receive supply through
the pipeline network. Post the 10th CGD Bidding Round, the Government has notified 228 regions as
Geographic Areas (GAs) comprising of 402 districts covering 52.73% and 70.47% of India’s area and
population respectively.

The primary network of steel pipelines provides the core backbone connecting CGS to various PRS / DRS
where the pressure levels range between 26 bar(g) to 19 bar(g). Secondary network system consisting of
MDPE pipelines generally operates at pressure level between 4 bar(g) to 1 bar(g). MDPE pipeline network
is generally planned for cluster of industrial, commercial or domestic units at low pressure.

The following stations are involved in CGD networks:

- City Gate Station (CGS)
- Pressure Reduction Station (PRS)
- District Regulating Station (DRS)
CGS for the network is generally located at tap off point of the main transmission line or otherwise
connected by a spur-line to the main transmission line. The gas transported at City Gate Station is at a high
pressure, the primary reduction from 49 Bar (g) to 26 Bar (g) is carried out at CGS. Further, additional PRS
for the network is installed /located in industries to further reduce the pressure, as per requirement of the
concerned industry / establishment. DRS for the network is located at strategic locations which are
sometimes also known as Field Regulating Stations to meet various demand centres for domestic/ industrial
segment. The three interfaces can be described as follows:
- The City Gate- interface between high pressure and medium pressure
- The Pressure Reducing Station- interface between medium pressure and low pressure
- The Service Connection- interface between network and end-user pressure.
As compared to CCP projects which are conventionally linear in nature, CGD networks involve complex
structure of different routes of varying lengths and sizes and catering to different end users.

Our Company’s scope of work in CGD projects includes laying of High Pressure Gas Steel Pipelines and
Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Pipelines for industrial / commercial, Compressed Natural Gas
(“CNG”) network and Piped Natural Gas (“PNG”) network, Construction of CNG Stations including civil,
mechanical, electrical & instrumentation works, connectivity to household, commercial and industrial
segments through High Pressure Gas Steel Pipelines, MDPE pipelines, Galvanized Iron pipes, copper
tubing, etc. as per the project requirements.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE SERVICES:

Our Company also provides Operations & Maintenance Services to CGD Companies. Our Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) Services business includes management services for CGD networks, other repairs,
modernization, scheduled shutdowns, as well as overhauling and maintenance of existing pipelines.
Operation & Maintenance activities involves deploying manpower and tools required for replacement of
existing pipelines, emergency repair and maintenance, shifting and compressor hook up of pipelines with
associated facilities. Based on the past track record, majority of the O&M contracts get extended, from time
to time.

We have commenced O&M Services business in the year 2014 and have generated revenues of Rs. 54.55
Lakhs, Rs. 642.67 Lakhs, Rs. 1978.94 Lakhs and Rs. 792.85 Lakhs for the fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019 and
for the period ended September 30, 2019 respectively, representing 0.51%, 7.38%, 14.40% and 11.03%
respectively of our total revenue from operations during such periods. We are presently providing
comprehensive O&M services in various regions in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru.

Our Business Process:

Contracts are primarily awarded through “Competitive Bidding” Tender method based on combination of
factors amongst which technical qualifications, proposed project team, schedule, past performance on
similar projects, the bid amount are the major determining factors. The process requires each bidder to pre-
qualify for the activities by meeting criteria that includes technical capabilities and financial strength.
Given below is our project execution process:

124
125
PRE-EXECUTION STAGE:

Our Company procures work orders primarily through open bidding process of the oil and gas companies.

Our tendering team keeps track of the tenders floated and identifies the projects suitable for our Company
on the basis of project timelines, technical and financial parameters, estimation, scale of projects, etc. Post
identification of target projects, our Company refers the pre-qualification requirements of tender bidding
and ensures the fulfillment of the same. Pre-qualification requirements include financial position, location
of bidder, status of completed projects, track record, etc.

After satisfying the pre-qualification requirements, our team undertakes basic feasibility study on the basis
of the estimated cost involved in projects and other resources required. On the basis of cost estimation, we
identify the ideal bidding quotation for the tenders. After estimation of cost, our team completes the details
and documents as per the forms and formats provided in tender documents. Our Company also refers the

Our Strengths:

1. We have a strong presence in India and significant experience:

We are one of the well-established oil & gas pipeline infrastructure companies in India with diversified
operations spread across various Geographical regions such as Karnataka, Delhi-NCR, West Bengal,
Gujarat, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar,
Chandigarh, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Our experience and operations in these regions has enabled us to
establish contacts with local clients and suppliers. We believe that we enjoy an established track record for
successful completion of the projects undertaken by us. Our Geographical diversity enables us to achieve
operating efficiencies, focus on our Projects and Regions where we can be competitive and obtain adequate
margins with the appropriate level of contractual and geo-political risk.

Having over 20 years of experience in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure, we believe that we are one of the
few oil and gas pipeline infrastructure companies, having good track record of timely delivery of supply
chain in all the business areas.

Currently, our Company is working on multiple projects simultaneously which range from Cross-Country
pipelines projects to City Gas Distribution projects and providing O&M services, each of which poses its
own degree of complexity spread across the country. We are proud to have executed 10.75” OD x 69
Kms Petroleum Product Pipeline for the first ever Trans-National Cross-Country Pipeline of South-
East Asia connecting India to Nepal for supply of petroleum products. Some of our other notable
projects include:

 12” x 125 Kms Pipeline Laying Works for Dobhi- Durgapur- Haldia Pipeline Section along with
Spur-lines under Jagdishpur-Haldia-Durgapur-Bokaro Pipeline Project
 12” x 40 Kms Laying & Construction of Pipeline along with associated work for Bantumilli &
Ullampura Pipeline Project
 24” x 95 Kms laying works for Barauni-Guwahati Pipeline Project

2. Efficient Business Model

Our growth is largely attributable to our efficient business model which involves careful identification
and assessment of the project with emphasis on cost optimization which is a result of executing our
projects with careful planning and strategy. Generally, as per terms of the contract awarded, our client
provides us with the sizable portion of the raw materials (gas meters, regulators, fuse & machines,
generator sets, pipes and fittings, etc.) required for execution of the projects and a relatively smaller
portion of the raw materials is required to be procured by our Company resulting into low cost of
operations and consequently, enables us to have better profit margins. Further, the scope for disputes and
litigation with our client on account of installation of materials not being compliant with the technical
specifications is reduced.

3. Strong financial performance

We strive to maintain a strong financial position with emphasis on having a strong balance sheet and
increased profitability. Between fiscal 2015 and 2019, our income from operations increased at a CAGR of
45.50 % from Rs. 3111.92 Lakhs in fiscal 2015 to Rs. 13948.41 Lakhs in fiscal 2019, while our profit after
taxation, as restated, increased at a CAGR of 73.22 % from Rs. 198.34 Lakhs in fiscal 2015 to Rs. 1,785.51
Lakhs in fiscal 2019. Our total income from operations during the six months ended September 30, 2019
was Rs. 7191.21 Lakhs while our profit after taxation, as restated, was Rs.777.76 Lakhs.

132
 In fiscal 2017, 2018, 2019 and the six months ended September 30, 2019, we have also had strong cash
flows from operations. Our net cash flow from operations was Rs. (334.19) Lakhs, Rs. 401.55 Lakhs, Rs.
318.67 Lakhs and Rs. 535.71 Lakhs, respectively, reflecting our strong financial operations. Our RONW
for equity shareholders in fiscal 2017, 2018, 2019 and the six months ended September 30, 2019 was
31.30%, 22.09%, 35.49% and 13.41%, respectively. While our ROCE was 51.78%, 30.73%, 53.04%
and 20.18%, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 our long term debt equity ratio was 0.08:1 while it was
0.05:1as on September 30, 2019. Our debtor holding period was 80.70, 83.44, 37.45 and 60.20 days in the
fiscal 2017, 2018, 2019 and the six months ended September 30, 2019 respectively.

Our strong balance sheet, high ROCE, positive operating cash flows, shorter debtor holding period, enable
us to fund our strategic initiatives, pursue opportunities for growth and better manage unanticipated cash
flow variations. Our financial strength provides us a valuable competitive advantage in terms of access to
bank guarantees and letters of credit, which are factors critical to our business.

4. Scalability of operations

Initially, in City Gas Distribution market, around 30 cities were notified by PNGRB as CGD Geographical
Areas (GAs) for laying CGD network in such areas by the authorized entities. As per the recent
Government policies, PNGRB has increased the number of Geographical Areas (GAs) to 228 comprising
of 402 districts spread over 27 States and Union Territories, covering 70% of Indian population and 53%
of its area. The recent Government initiatives have provided lucrative opportunities for work execution
company such as ours, who is already having a good presence in City Gas Distribution Projects along with
construction of CNG Stations.

5. Strong Project execution capabilities

We believe that our large equipment base, technically qualified and experienced employee pool,
comparatively lower cost center of operations and strong project management systems and capabilities
enable us to execute large as well as complex projects. As of December 31, 2019, we have been engaged
on more than 26 on-going projects across India. We have a significant equipment base including Pipe
layers (Side-boom), Excavators, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Machines, etc. which enables us

Clients, despite the increase in competition. Our Clients include major Oil and Gas Companies, spread
across the country and we have been associated with some of them on long term basis. We believe that we
constantly try to address our clients’ requirements which help us to maintain a long-term working
relationship with our Clients and improve our retention strategy. We believe that our existing relationship
with our Clients represents a competitive advantage in gaining new Clients and increasing our business.
The experience gained from execution of existing projects enables us to better understand our Client’s
requirements, evaluate the scope of work and risks involved in future projects that we may bid for.

133
7. Highly experienced Management Team

Our Company is managed by a team of professionals led by our Promoter. We believe that the leadership
and vision of our Promoter, Mr. Srinivasa Rao Gaddipati, has been instrumental in driving our growth and
implementing our business strategies. Our management team has the requisite experience to manage the
current scale of business as well as the expansion plans for the future. The team comprises of personnel
having technical, operational and business development experience. We believe that we have achieved a
measure of success in attracting an experienced senior management team with operational and technical
capabilities, management skills, business development experience and financial management skills. In
addition, our board includes a strong combination of management as well as independent members that
bring significant business experience to our Company. For further details, please see “Our Management”
on page 153 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

8. Diverse fleet of sophisticated equipment

Our Company owns and maintains a diverse range of equipment such as Pipe Layers (Side-boom),
Excavators, Horizontal Directional Drilling Machines, Compressors, Generator sets, Welding Machines,
etc. which allows us to meet majority of the requirements for our on-going projects. Our equipment base
is properly managed, maintained and operated. Majority of the works in the pipeline infrastructure
business are carried out through trenchless technology. We have a substantial fleet of horizontal
directional drilling machines, which makes us more cost effective as compared to our competitors, who
hire machines on rental basis, which in turn increases their cost of execution.

Our Business Strategies:

The key elements of our business strategy are as follows:

1. Continue to expand our operations

Our objective is to expand and enhance our presence in regions where we have previously developed a
strong base of operations by our established contracts with local clients and suppliers, and familiarity with
local working conditions. Increase in demand for natural gas in India in the recent period is expected to
result in vast opportunities for the pipeline infrastructure business. In addition, favorable government
policies may act as a catalyst for boosting the further growth of this industry.

We intend to strengthen our presence all over the country and play a bigger role in CGD system as the
Government is focusing to substantially increase the CGD network and also to become a prominent player
in O&M operations of CGD network.

In pursuing our strategies, we seek to identify markets where we believe we can provide cost and
operational advantages to our clients and distinguish ourselves from other competitors. In order to expand
our operations, we also seek to identify acquisition targets and/or joint venture partners whose resources,
capabilities and strategies are complementary to and are likely to enhance our business operations in such
regions. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement with M/s. PT Citra Panji Manunggal, a Company incorporated under the laws of Indonesia, for
one of our project.

2. Further growth in our O&M services offerings

134
 We believe that the significant increase in pipeline projects in India and the aging of existing pipeline
projects should result in a significant increase in demand for our O&M Services business, which include
AMC services, repairs and modernisation, scheduled shutdowns and overhauling of existing pipelines
projects. Revenue from our O&M Services business was Rs. 54.55 Lakhs, Rs.642.67 Lakhs, Rs. 1978.94
Lakhs and Rs. 792.85 Lakhs in fiscal 2017, 2018, 2019 and for the period ended September 30, 2019,
representing 0.51%, 7.38%, 14.40% and 11.03%, respectively, of our total revenue from operations in
these periods. We have experienced a significant growth in our O&M Services business in recent years
which grew at a CAGR of 503.79% between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2019. Presently, O&M Services offer
relatively better margins as compared to pipeline infrastructure projects and taking into consideration the
present phase of CGD business, the business of O&M Services is expected to further increase. Further,
the level of competition for O&M contracts is relatively lower than that in case of Pipeline Infrastructure
Projects due to technical requirements.

3. Retaining Skilled Manpower

We strive for effectiveness and high level of productivity in our actions and work performance. We are
determined to grow as individuals in the working environment as well as improving personal well-being.
We strive to enhance the pipeline infrastructure industry by providing all possible solutions and expertise
to projects. We have assembled an experienced management team with expertise in areas that are
important to our business. We believe the successful implementation of our business and growth
strategies depends on our ability to hire and cultivate experienced, motivated and well-trained members
of our management and employee teams. We intend to continue to recruit, retain and train qualified
personnel.

4. Optimum Utilization of Resources

Our Company constantly endeavors to improve our business operations to optimize the utilization of
resources. We have invested significant resources and intend to further invest in our activities to develop
customized systems and processes to ensure effective management control. We regularly analyze our
existing policies to be carried out for operations of our Company which enable us to identify the areas of
bottlenecks and correct the same. This helps us in improving efficiency and putting resources to optimal
use.

5. Continue to develop Client relationship and expand our Client base

We plan to grow our business primarily by increasing the number of clients and retaining the existing
client base, as we believe that increased client relationships will add stability to our Business. We intend
to retain existing relationships and also focus on bringing new Clients into our portfolio. Our Company
believes that our business is a by-product of relationship maintained with our clients and try to maintain
long-term relationship with our clients. Long-term relations are built on trust and continuous meeting
with the requirements of the clients.

6. Focus on Performance and Project Execution

We believe that we have developed a reputation for undertaking challenging projects and completing
projects within the stipulated deadlines. We intend to continue to focus on performance and execution of
projects in order to maximize client satisfaction and margins. For better performance we focus on
advanced technologies, designs and project management tools to increase productivity and maximize
asset utilization. Through our comparatively lower cost center of operations in India, we continue to
optimize operating and overhead costs to maximize our operating margins.

135
 To facilitate efficient decision making, we intend to continue to strengthen the information and
communication infrastructure for our operations in order to deliver satisfactorily on commitments to our
clients.

7. Continue to focus on safety and environment standards

We intend to continue to focus on health, safety and environment management and quality management
standards as we believe that these elements of performance measurement have become important
competition differentiators and key criteria for prequalification of contractors by potential clients.

Our objective is to adhere complete safety standards and specifications in the pipeline infrastructure
industry with a positive attitude and approach by adopting environmental friendly and latest technologies
and to protect the health and safety of personal involved in our Company while minimizing damage
caused to environment by controlling the hazards and impacts associated with our operations.

 Annexure V: Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting policies

1) General Information:

Likhitha Infrastructure Limited (the company) domiciled and Incorporated in India in the state of Telangana,
India in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is engaged in the business
of laying gas supply pipe lines and irrigation canals, building bridges over the canals and related maintenance
works. The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2) Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies:

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation of Financial Statements:

The Restated financial statements of Assets and Liabilities as at 30 th September, 31 March 2019, 31 March
2018 and 2017 and Restated Statement of Profit and Loss, Restated Statement of Cash Flows and the Restated
Statement of Changes in Equity for the period ended 30 th September and for the years ended 31 March 2019,
31 March 2018 and 2017 (together referred to as “Restated Ind AS Financial Information”) have been
compiled by the Company from the Audited Financial Statements to which further adjustments are made to
comply in all material aspects with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of
Disclosure and Capital Requirements) Regulations, 2009, as amended (the “ICDR Regulations”).
Accordingly, these Restated Ind AS Financial Information have been prepared after incorporating adjustments
for the material amounts in the respective financial years to which they relate as explained later. There were
no exceptional items that needed to be disclosed separately for the respective years under consideration.
The restated Ind AS financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian
Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read
with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
(Amendment) Rules, 2016 and other relevant provisions of the Act.

This Restated Ind AS Financial Information has been prepared for inclusion in the Offer Document to be filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) in connection with proposed Initial
Public Offering of its equity shares, in accordance with the requirements of:

a) Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Act read with Rules 4 to 6 of Companies (Prospectus and
Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014; and

b) Relevant provisions of the ICDR Regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(‘SEBI’) on 26 August 2009, as amended from time to time in pursuance of the Securities and Exchange
Board of India Act, 1992.

2.2 Basis of Measurement:

These Restated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual
basis, except for the following material items in the balance sheet:
• Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost depending on
the classification;
• Employee defined benefit assets / (liability) are measured at fair value of plan assets, less present value of
defined benefit obligations.
• Long-term borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current based on the operating cycle of less than

192
 twelve months or based on the criteria of realisation/settlement within twelve months period from the balance
sheet date.
2.3 Use of estimates and judgments:
The preparation of Restated Ind AS Financial Information in conformity with Ind AS and IND AS requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
restated statement of assets and liabilities date and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the
reporting period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in
circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial information in the
period in which changes are made and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Restated Ind AS Financial
Information is included in the following notes:

 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;

 Impairment of non-financial and financial assets;
 Financial instruments;
 Employee benefits;
 Provisions, contingencies; and
 Income taxes.
2.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The Restated Ind AS Financial Information have been prepared using the accounting policies and
measurement basis summarized below.
A. Functional and presentation currency:
These financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR or ₹), which is also the functional currency of
the Company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest lakhs.

B. Current and noncurrent classification:

All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or noncurrent as per the Company’s normal
operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS 1,
Presentation of financial statements.

Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
 It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating
cycle;
 It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
 It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
 It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting date.
Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
 It is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
 It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

193
 It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
 The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its
settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Current assets/ liabilities include the current portion of noncurrent assets/ liabilities respectively. All other
assets/ liabilities are classified as noncurrent. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always disclosed as
non-current.
C. Foreign Currency Transaction:
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at
the reporting period are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies which are carried at historical cost are reported
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair
value or any other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange
rates at the date when the fair value was measured.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates
different from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss
in the year in which they arise.

D. Fair Valuation:

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset
or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability at the measurement
date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the financial asset
or settle the financial liability takes place either:
 In the principal market, or
 In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. A fair value
measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use. Fair value measurement and / or disclosure purposes
in the Restated Ind AS Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for measurements that
have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value
in use in Ind AS 36.
The Company- uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing
the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Restated Ind AS Financial
Information are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
 Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.

194
 Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities
which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on
the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above.
E. Prior Period Error:
Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the entity’s financial statements for one or
more prior periods arising from a failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that:
a. Was available when financial statements for those periods were approved for issue; and
b. Could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into account in the preparation and
presentation of those financial statements. Such errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes,
mistakes in applying accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts, and fraud
Retrospective restatement is correcting the recognition, measurement and disclosure of amounts of
elements of financial statements as if a prior period error had never occurred.
The material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively in the first set of financial statements
approved for issue after their discovery by:
(a) Restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or
(b) If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets,
liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented except in the following circumstance:
A prior period error shall be corrected by retrospective restatement except to the extent that it is impracticable
to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the error.
When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an error on comparative information for
one or more prior periods presented, the entity shall restate the opening balances of assets, liabilities and
equity for the earliest period for which retrospective restatement is practicable (which may be the current
period). When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect, at the beginning of the current period,
of an error on all prior periods, the entity shall restate the comparative information to correct the error
prospectively from the earliest date practicable.

F. Revenue Recognition:
Effective April 1, 2018, the company has applied Ind AS 115 which establishes a comprehensive
framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognised. Ind AS 115 replaces
Ind AS 18 Revenue and Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts. The company has adopted Ind AS 115 using
the cumulative catchup method. The effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of
initial application (i.e. .April 1, 2018).

The standard is applied retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed as at the date of initial
application and the impact of adoption of the standard on the financial statements of the Company is
insignificant.

Revenue is recognized when the company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised
good or service to its customers. The company considers the terms of the contract and its customary
business practices to determine the transaction price. Performance obligations are satisfied at the point of
time when the customer obtains controls of the asset.

195
 Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, stated net of discounts, returns and Goods and Service tax. Transaction price is recognised
based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales incentives / discounts. Accumulated
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts/ right of return, using the expected value
method.

Other Operating Income:

Other Operating income consists of commissions, ancillary and allied service income. Revenue from other
operating services is recognized when the company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring
promised services to its customers.

Other Income
Other Income is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
Interest Income
Finance income consists of (a) interest income on funds invested in Banks and
(b) Dividend earned on investment in Mutual Funds.

(a) For all debt instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest
rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the
expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying
amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective
interest rate, the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the
financial instruments but does not consider the expected credit losses.

Interest Income mainly comprises of interest on Margin money deposit with banks relating to bank
guarantee. Interest income should be recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). However, the amount
of margin money deposits relating to bank guarantee are purely current in nature, hence effective interest
rate has not been applied. Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, based on rates implicit
in the transactions.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established. Dividend
income on Mutual Funds is recognized when the right to receive dividend from such funds is established.

G. Property Plant & Equipment

Recognition and measurement:

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated
depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset i.e., freight, duties and taxes applicable and other expenses related to acquisition
and installation. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and other costs directly
attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs that are
directly attributable to the construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost
of that asset.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses upon disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing
the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized

196
 net within in the statement of profit and loss.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount
of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the
Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of repairs and maintenance are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Items of property, plant and equipment acquired through exchange of non-monetary assets are measured at
fair value, unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or the fair value of either the asset
received or asset given up is not reliably measurable, in which case the asset exchanged is recorded at the
carrying amount of the asset given up.

Depreciation:

Depreciation on items of PPE is provided on written down value basis, computed on the basis of useful
lives as mentioned in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Assets acquired under finance leases are
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the
Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land and land under perpetual lease
are not depreciated.

Depreciation on additions / disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from / up to the date on which asset
is ready for use / disposed-off.

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Type of Asset Estimated useful life

Plant & Machinery 25
Plant & Machinery (IML) 25
Plant & Machinery (Vinegar) 25
Electrical Installations 25
Furniture & Fixtures 10
Office Equipment 5
Computers 6
Vehicles 8

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date is
disclosed as capital advances under other noncurrent assets. The cost of property, plant and equipment not
ready to use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. Assets not ready for use are
not depreciated.

H. Investment Property:

Investment property is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held to earn rentals or for
capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

(a) Use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or

(b) Sale in the ordinary course of business.

197
 Recognition and measurement: An investment property shall be recognised as an asset when and only
when:

(a) It is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow
to the entity; and
(b) The cost of the investment property can be measured reliably.

An investment property shall be measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial
measurement. The company adopted cost model prescribed in IND AS 16 for accounting its investment
property.

Cost Model:
After recognition as an asset, an item of investment property shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation:
Depreciation on items of Investment Property is provided on written down value basis, computed on the basis
of useful lives mentioned in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on additions / disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from / up to the date on which asset is
ready for use / disposed-off.

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Type of Asset Estimated useful life
Buildings 30
Land NA

I. Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, such intangible assets are measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized
only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other
expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in statement of
profit or loss as incurred.

J. Inventories:
Inventories consist of raw materials, stores and spares, work-in-progress and finished goods. Cost includes
expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in
bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of finished goods and work-in-
progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity
The method of valuing the inventories is as follows:
 Raw-materials, Stores, Packing materials, Spare parts are valued at cost.
 Finished goods are valued at cost / Net realizable value, whichever is less.
 Stock in process is valued at cost or Net realizable value, whichever is less.
 Waste is valued at net realizable value.
 Cost of inventories is ascertained on FIFO basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses. The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to

198
the selling prices of related finished products.

K. Financial Instruments:

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets:
Initial recognition and measurement:

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the
date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement
Debt instrument at Amortised Cost

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at Amortized Cost.

Investment in equity instruments:

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held
for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind
AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an
irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The
Company makes such election on an instrument by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial
recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to
the statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Equity instruments i.e., investments in equity shares within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value
with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets)
is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:
 The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
 The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-

199
through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor
transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the
Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that
the Company has retained.

Impairment of trade receivables:

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on the trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another
financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115. Expected credit loss
model takes into consideration the present value of all the cash shortfalls over the expected life of a financial
instrument. In simple terms, it is weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default
occurring as weights. The credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an
entity as per the contract and all the contractual cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted to the
effective interest rate. The Standard presumes that entities would suffer credit loss even if the entity expects to
be paid in full but later than when contractually due. In other words, it simply focuses on DELAYS in
collection of receivables.
For the purpose of identifying the days of delay, the Company took into consideration the weighted average
number of delays taking into consideration the date of billing, the credit period and the collection days.

Financial liabilities:

Initial recognition and measurement:

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective
hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent Measurement:
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Loans and borrowings:

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities
are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit
and loss.

L. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that
have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, an impairment test is performed each year at March
31.

200
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use
and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit. For the purpose of impairment testing,
assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use
that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating
unit”).
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an
asset or its cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of
cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units
and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses
recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased
or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

M. Cash & Cash Equivalents:

Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks, demand deposit,
short-term deposits and Margin Money deposits. For this purpose, “short-term” means investments having
maturity of three months or less from the date of investment. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand
and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents
for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. The Margin money deposits shall be disclosed as restricted
cash balances.

N. Employee Benefits:

Short term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the
amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount
as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Defined Contribution Plan:

The Company’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit and loss as
and when the services are received from the employees.

Defined Benefit Plans:

The liability in respect of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the
projected unit credit method consistent with the advice of qualified actuaries. The present value of the defined
benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates based
on prevailing market yields of Indian Government Bonds and that have terms to maturity approximating to the
terms of the related defined benefit obligation. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognized
in the statement of profit and loss in employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit
obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements.
Past service costs are recognized immediately in income. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the
discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is
included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising

201
from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed, without
realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal
retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary
redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Company
has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the
number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.

Other long-term employee benefits:

The Company’s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is
discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss
in the period in which they arise.

O. Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs consist of interest, ancillary and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds and interest relating to other financial liabilities. Borrowing costs also include exchange
differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

P. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined
by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities:
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation
that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a
present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or
disclosure is made.

Contingent assets:
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed
continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related
income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

Q. Tax Expenses:
Tax expense consists of current and deferred tax.

Income Tax:
Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items
recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable

202
on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and
any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences
when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

R. Earnings Per Share:

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its equity shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

In a capitalisation or bonus issue or a share split, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased
without an increase in resources. The number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for
the proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period presented.

S. Segment Reporting:

In the opinion of the management, the company operates in only one segment i.e. laying of oil and gas pipe
lines and development of allied infrastructure. Accordingly, disclosure of segment information as prescribed
in the Indian accounting standard 108 “Operating segments” is not applicable.

-Basic EPS 17.28 39.68 15.92 17.57
`Diluted EPS 17.28 39.68 15.92 17.57

Basic Earnings per share (EPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity
holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity
shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.

During the financial year 2017-18 the Company has allotted 35, 00,000 of INR 10 fully paid-up equity shares
as bonus shares to the existing equity share holders of the Company in the ratio of 3.5:1.

In a capitalisation or bonus issue or a share split, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased
without an increase in resources. The number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for
the proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period presented. Since only bonus share have been allotted, no weighted average
calculation has been made.

i) The management assessed that fair value of trade receivables, trade payables and other liabilities
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
ii) The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could
be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The
method and assumption used to estimate the fair values is Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate
receivables/advances given are evaluated by the company based on parameters such as Interest rates, risk
factors and individual creditworthiness of the customer based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into
account for the expected credit losses of the receivables.

I. Fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

All financial assets and liabilities have been fair valued using Level 3 hierarchy except cash and bank balance
which is fair valued using Level 1.

J. Financial Risk Management:

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these
financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include
trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents those are derived directly from its operations.

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and
Market risk. The Company’s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to
identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor
such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Board of
Directors, risk Management committee and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s
risk assessment and management policies and processes.

(a) Market Risk:-

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other
price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk are deposits with Banks.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and
other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market
risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at September 30, 2019, March 31,
2019, March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

(i) Interest Rate Risk:-

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The company believes that the working capital available is
sufficient to meet its current requirements. The company's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from
deposits with Banks.

(ii) Foreign Currency Risk:-

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange

227
rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities i.e. Cost of material which is denominated in a
foreign currency though the same is payable in INR.
As the Company doesn't have significant transactions in foreign currency hence there is no impact on the
financial statements because of foreign currency risk except as stated above.

Total 100 1,595.18 100 4,145.69 100 1,943.31 100 1,957.47

(b) Credit Risk:-

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial
institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
In the opinion of the Management of the Company the loss due to credit risk has no significant impact on
financial statements as majority of company’s customers are Government companies. From past experience of
realizing financial assets company does not foresee any Expected credit loss (ECL) on trade receivables
(c) Liquidity Risk:-
The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds using a liquidity planning tool.
The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the
use of bank overdrafts, trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet
its obligations. The Company’s approach to managing liability is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will
always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
The company believes that the available working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual
undiscounted payments.

 P. First-time Adoption of Ind AS:

The financial statements, for the year ended 31st March 2019, are the first set of financial statements the
Company has prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS).For periods up to and
including the year ended 31st March 2018, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with
accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of
the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).

The Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for periods ending on
30th September 2019 and on 31st March 2019, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year
ended 31st March 2018, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these
financial statements, the Company’s opening balance sheet was prepared as at 1st April 2017, i.e., the
Company’s date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in
restating its Indian GAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at 1st April 2017 and the
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31st March 2018.

Exemptions Applied:
Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain
requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

The Company adopted not to measure any item of property, plant and equipment at its fair value at the
Transition Date. The Company has elected to continue with the net carrying value of all its property, plant and
equipment recognized as of April 1, 2017 (transition date) as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying
value as its deemed cost.Similarly the net carrying amount of the investment property as per the previous
GAAP is considered as deemed cost for IND AS purposes.

Estimates:
The estimates at 1st April 2017 and at 30th September 2019 are consistent with those made for the same dates
in accordance with Indian GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies) apart
from the following items where application of Indian GAAP did not require estimation:
• FVTPL – Quoted equity shares
• Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model (“ECL model”)
The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with Ind AS reflect conditions at
1st April 2017, the date of transition to Ind AS and as of 31st March 2019.

Financial assets:
Under Indian GAAP, the Company accounted for long term investments in quoted equity shares as investment
measured at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary diminution in the value of investments, if
any. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated such investments as FVTPL investments. Ind AS requires
FVTPL investments to be measured at fair value. At the date of transition to Ind AS, difference between the
instruments fair value and Indian GAAP carrying amount has been recognized as a separate component of
equity, in the retained earnings.

Deferred tax:
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the statement of profit and loss approach, which focuses
on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to
account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between
the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12
approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required
under Indian GAAP.

(I) Proforma IND AS Financial Information:

The Proforma Financial Information of the Company as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017, is prepared
in accordance with requirements of SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated March 31, 2016
As envisaged by the SEBI Circular, the Company has followed the same accounting policy choices (both
mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions availed as per Ind AS 101) as initially adopted on its Ind AS
transition date (i.e. April 1, 2017) while preparing the proforma financial information for the FY 2016-17 and
accordingly suitable restatement adjustments in the accounting heads have been made in the proforma
financial information.

This proforma Ind AS financial information has been prepared by making Ind AS adjustments to the audited
Indian GAAP financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017 as described in this Note. The
impact of Ind AS 101 on the equity under Indian GAAP as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and the
impact on the profit or loss for the year ended March 31,2017due to the Ind- AS principles applied on

Notes to the reconciliation:

1. Financial assets measured at amortised cost:

Under previous GAAP, interest free refundable lease security deposits are recorded at their transaction value.
Under IndAS, all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value. On the date of initial recognition,
the difference between the transaction amount and the fair value has been recognised as prepaid rent. The
security deposits have been subsequently amortised under effective interest rate method and the prepaid rent
on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. This has resulted an impact on retained earnings on April 1,
2016 and in profit and loss account for year ending 2017.

2. Deferred Tax on Ind AS adjustments:

Under Previous GAAP, deferred taxes were recognized for the tax effect of timing differences between
accounting profit and taxable profit for the year using the income statement approach. Under Ind AS, deferred
taxes are recognized using the balance sheet for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The above difference, together with the
consequential tax impact of the other Ind AS transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. Deferred
tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings \ Profit
or Loss or through other comprehensive income.

Note:
In a Capitalisation or bonus issue or a share split, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased
without an increase in resources. The number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted
for the proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred
at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Since only bonus share have been allotted, no weighted
average calculation has been made.
On 23/12/2019 the company has issued 1,01,25,000 bonus shares to the existing equity shareholders in
the ratio of 2.25:1. In case of a bonus issue the ordinary shares are issued to existing shareholders for no
additional consideration. Therefore, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased without an
increase in resources. The number of equity shares outstanding before the bonus issue are adjusted for
the proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at
the beginning of the earliest period presented. Accordingly in the statement of accounting ratios with
bonus effect the number of equity shares increased to 1,46,25,000 from existing outstanding equity
shares of 45,00,000 in order to take the bonus issue effect into consideration.

236
 Notes to Accounting Ratios:
a) Formulas used for calculating above ratios are as under:
(i) Basic Earnings Per Share (Rs.) = Restated PAT attributable to Equity Shareholders/ Weighted Average Number
of Equity Shares outstanding during the period ended 30.09.2019
(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share (Rs.) = Restated PAT attributable to Equity Shareholders/ Weighted Average
Number of Diluted Potential Equity Shares outstanding during the period ended 30.09.2019
(c)Return on Net Worth (%) = Restated PAT attributable to Equity Shareholders/ Closing Net Worth as Restated X
100
Note:- (i)
Weighted Average Number of equity shares is the number of equity shares outstanding at the beginning of the year
adjusted by the number of equity shares issued during the year multiplied by the time weighting factor. The time
weighting factor is the number of days for which the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion to total number
of days during the year.
In a Capitalisation or bonus issue or a share split, the number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased without
an increase in resources. The number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the
proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of
the earliest period presented. Since only bonus share have been allotted, no weighted average calculation has been
made.
Note:- (ii)
Earnings Per Share calculation are in accordance with Ind AS-33 "Earnings Per Share"
Note:- (iii)
Net Worth = Equity Share Capital + Reserve and Surplus (including Net profit in the Statement of Profit & Loss)
Note:- (v)
The figures disclosed above are based on the Restated Financial Statements of the Company

Competitive Conditions

We operate in an industry which is highly competitive and fragmented and we compete with a range of
organized and unorganized players, both on the national and regional level. Further, while we have an
expanding portfolio of services requiring us to allocate resources across these verticals, our competitors may
have the advantage of focusing on one or fewer product verticals. Further, we compete against a few listed
companies also, which may have greater access to financial, technical and marketing resources and expertise
available to them than us in the products and services that compete against them. Additionally, we face
competition from other established national players as well as global players with a presence in India

Further, industry consolidation may affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially
stronger competitors in the markets in which we compete. Our competitors may further affect our business by
entering into exclusive arrangements with our existing or potential clients. For details, please refer to the
chapter titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 31 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Increase in income

Based on the continuous successful completion of the projects over a period of several years the Company
has been able to get higher-qualification to participate big amount tenders as well as big size pipe-line
works. Due to higher qualification the Company is able to bid for big size projects thereby the Company has
been able achieve better turnover year on year except in the FY 2018 as there was delay in the processing
and awarding tenders due to problems faced in GST implementation.

Status of any Publicly Announced New Products or Business Segments

Except as disclosed elsewhere in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have not announced and do not expect
to announce in the near future any new products or business segments.

Seasonality of Business

Considering the trend of business of the Company for fast several years, the execution of the works will be
higher in the second half of the financial year in comparison to first half year caused due to various factors
such as rainy season and delay in the approval of budgets of the customers in the first half.

Significant dependence on a single or few suppliers or customers

Majority of the orders come from gas & oil companies which are majorly oil and gas distribution companies
Recently, various private companies won number of geographical areas for City Gas Distribution (CGD). This
may slightly reduces the dependence on the oil and gas distribution companies. At present to major extent the
business of the Company depends on the oil & gas distribution companies.

Stock Market Data of the Equity Shares

Our Company is an “Unlisted Issuer” and the issue is “Initial Public Offering” in terms of the SEBI ICDR

The Agreement between the Registrar to the Issue and our Company provides for retention of records with
the Registrar to the Issue for a period of at least 3 years from the Issue Closing Date, to enable the investors
to approach the Registrar to the Issue for redressal of their grievances.

redressal of routine investor grievances shall be fifteen (15) Working Days from the date of receipt of the

entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of the death of the original holder(s), shall be entitled to the same
advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the Equity Share(s).

1, 2019, the UPI Mechanism for RIIs applying through Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) was
made effective along with the then existing process and existing timeline of T+6 days. This phase continued
until June 30, 2019. Thereafter, with effect from July 1, 2019, for applications by RIIs through Designated
Intermediaries, the then existing process of physical movement of forms from Designated Intermediaries to
SCSBs for blocking of funds has been discontinued and RIIs submitting their Application Forms through
Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) shall use only the UPI Mechanism with the existing timeline
of T+6 days until March 31, 2020 or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later (“UPI
Phase II”). Subsequently, the final reduced timeline of T+3 will be made effective using the UPI
Mechanism for applications by RIIs (“UPI Phase III”), as may be prescribed by SEBI.

Book Building Procedure

The Issue is being made through the Book Building Process in accordance with Regulation 6(1) of the
SEBI ICDR Regulations, wherein not more than 50% of the Issue shall be allocated on a proportionate
basis to QIBs. Our Company may, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager, allocate up to
60% of the QIB Portion to Anchor Investors at the Anchor Investor Allocation Price, on a discretionary
basis in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, out of which one-third shall be available for
allocation to domestic Mutual Funds, subject to valid Bids being received from domestic Mutual Funds at
or above the Anchor Investor Allocation Price. In the event of under-subscription, or non-allocation in the
Anchor Investor Portion, the balance Equity Shares shall be added to the QIB Portion. Further, 5% of the
QIB Portion (excluding the Anchor Investor Portion) shall be available for allocation on a proportionate
basis only to Mutual Funds, and the remainder of the QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a
proportionate basis to all QIB Bidders other than Anchor Investors, including Mutual Funds, subject to
valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. Further, not less than 15% of the Issue shall be
available for allocation to Non-Institutional Bidders and not less than 35% of the Issue shall be available
for allocation to RIBs in accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations, subject to valid Bids being received at
or above the Issue Price.

Subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price, under-subscription, if any, in any category
except in the QIB Portion, would be allowed to be met with spill-over from any other category or
combination of categories, at the discretion of our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead
Manager and the Designated Stock Exchange and subject to applicable laws.

The Equity Shares, on Allotment, shall be traded only in the dematerialised segment of the Stock
Exchanges.

Bidders should note that the Equity Shares will be Allotted to all successful Bidders only in dematerialised
form. The Bid cum Application Forms, which do not have the details of the Bidders’ depository account,
including DP ID, Client ID, UPI ID (in case of RIBs using the UPI Mechanism) and PAN, shall be treated
as incomplete and will be rejected. Bidders will not have the option of being Allotted Equity Shares in
physical form.

Phased implementation of UPI for Bids by RIBs as per the UPI Circulars

SEBI has issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of equity shares and
convertibles by introducing an alternate payment mechanism using UPI. Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, UPI
has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking
funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under the ASBA) for applications by RIBs through
intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six
Working Days to up to three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes
to the systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI
Circulars have introduced and implemented the UPI payment mechanism in three phases in the following
manner:

a) Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five
main board public issues, whichever is later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of
Phase I was extended until June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a RIB also had the option to submit
the ASBA Form with any of the intermediary and use his / her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking
of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing would continue to be six Working
Days.

291
 b) Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and will continue until March 31,
2020 or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. Under this phase, submission
of the physical ASBA Form by a RIB through intermediaries to SCSBs for blocking of funds has
been discontinued and replaced by the UPI payment mechanism. However, the time duration from
public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days during this phase. Bids in the
Issue may be made under Phase II or Phase III.

c) Phase III: The commencement period of Phase III is yet to be notified. In this phase, the time
duration from public issue closure to listing would be reduced to be three Working Days.

All SCSBs offering facility of making application in public issues shall also provide facility to make
application using UPI. The issuers will be required to appoint one of the SCSBs as a sponsor bank to act as
a conduit between the Stock Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or
payment instructions of the RIBs using the UPI.

For further details, refer to the General Information Document available on the websites of the Stock
Exchanges and the Book Running Lead Manager.

 RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES

Foreign investment in Indian securities is governed by the provisions of the FEMA Rules. Foreign
investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian companies, either through the
automatic route or the approval route, depending upon the sector in which foreign investment is
sought to be made. The DIPP makes policy announcements on FDI through press notes and press
releases. In case of any conflict, the FEMA Rules prevail. The regulatory framework, over a period of
time, thus, consists of acts, regulations, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other
amendments. The consolidated FDI policy circular of 2017, dated August 28, 2017 issued by the
DIPP (“FDI Circular”) consolidates the policy framework which was in force as on August 28, 2017
and reflects the FDI Policy as on August 28, 2017. Further, the FDI Circular consolidates and
subsumes all the press notes, press releases, and clarifications on FDI issued by DIPP. As per the FDI
Circular the cap for foreign investment in petroleum and natural gas industry, is 100% under the
automatic route. However, downstream investments by a resident entity which is ‘foreign-owned and
controlled’ within the meaning of the FDI Circular are treated as foreign investment for the purposes
of the FDI Circular.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior
approval of the RBI or any other relevant authority, provided that (i) the activities of the investee
company are under the automatic route under the FDI Circular and the transfer does not attract the
provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral
limits under the FDI Circular; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by
the SEBI and RBI.

As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Issue.

The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, or
any state securities laws in the United States, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold
within the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in the United
States. Accordingly, the Equity Shares are being offered only outside the United States in offshore
transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and the applicable laws of the
jurisdiction where those offers and sales occur.

Investors are advised to confirm their eligibility under the relevant laws before investing and / or
subsequent purchase or sale transaction in the Equity Shares of our Company. Investors cannot offer,
sell, pledge or transfer the Equity Shares of our Company to any person who is not eligible under
applicable laws, rules, regulations, guidelines. Our Company, the Underwriters and their respective
directors, officers, agents, affiliates and representatives, as applicable, accept no responsibility or
liability for advising any investor on whether such investor is eligible to acquire Equity Shares of our
Company.

The above information is given for the benefit of the Applicants. Our Company and the Book
Running Lead Manager are not liable for any amendments or modification or changes in applicable
laws or regulations, which may occur after the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Applicants
are advised to make their independent investigations and ensure that the Applications are not in
violation of laws or regulations applicable to them and do not exceed the applicable limits under the
