2.15 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised 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. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
Warranty
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on technical evaluation, historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.
Onerous contract
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before such a provision is made, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Restructuring
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the board has approved a detailed formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly.
Decommission cost
In accordance with the applicable legal requirements, a provision for decommission of assets, which are taken on lease, is recognised as per the terms of contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the best estimate of the cost of restoration.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the standalone financial statements.
2.16 Exceptional items

under common control. This approach is considered by management to best reflect the economic substance of the transaction. Under this method:
• Any gain or loss arising from the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the transferred business calculated in accordance with Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement and determined by an independent fair value specialist is recognised in profit or loss.
• Any difference between the fair value and the actual consideration received is recognised in equity.

27. Revenue from operations (Contd..)
Disclosure given pursuant to Ind AS 115:
Revenue recognised/(reversal) during the current year from performance obligation satisfied [arising out of contract modifications and / or change in estimates) in the previous periods ? (501.0) million (previous year 303.7 million] (net).
Performance obligation
Information about the company's performance obligation are summarised below:
(i) Execution of construction contracts
Construction contracts are ordinarily presumed to consist of combined obligations which are not distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., single performance obligation). This is highly attributed to the long-term construction-nature of the projects, whereby deliverables are typically highly interrelated and combined. The typical scope of long term contracts arrangements includes a composite range of activities viz. engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and servicing etc. of power plants and equipment. Revenue from contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and other consideration, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method.
(ii) Execution of sale of products
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the products passes to the customer.
(iii) Execution of sale of services
Sale of services are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.
Remaining performance obligation
As of 31 March 2025, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was ? 26,623 million (previous year t 15,870 million). The conversion to revenue is highly dependent on meeting the delivery schedules, contractual terms and conditions with customers, availability of customer sites, changes/variation in scope /price etc. In view of these, it is not practical to define the accurate percentage of conversion to revenue.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses.
II) Provident fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered through a trust. The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by the Trust to it's members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Company has obtained an actuarial valuation of the provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly the Company has recognised a provision of ? Nil million (previous year ? Nil million) towards provident fund liability.
35. Segment information
An operating segment is a component that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. The operating results of each of the functions are not considered individually by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the functions do not meet the requirements of Ind AS 108. Therefore Company's business activity falls within a single operating segment i.e. Power Generation equipment and related services.
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of Company is the Managing Director, along with the Board of Directors, who review the periodic results of the Company.
42. Financial instruments and fair value measurements - accounting classification
Accounting classifications and fair values
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities with short term maturities is considered as approximate to respective carrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non-current financial assets and liabilities has not been disclosed as there is no significant difference between carrying value and fair value.
Measurement of fair values
Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
43. Financial risk management
Financial risk relates to Company's ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, including volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, including risk related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from a customer or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company faces credit risk in its industrial businesses, as well as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual or contingent financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Company financial condition or overall safety and soundness.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
(i) Credit risk management
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assesses customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and contract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset its accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gains insight into future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through its knowledge of the installed base of equipment and the close interaction with its customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements and collection plan and available press information about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables :
With regards to all financial assets including security deposit amounting ? 62.1 million (previous year ? 69 million) and other financial assets other than security deposits ? 122 million (previous year ?103 million) with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk.
The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables
Based on assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ credit rating available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in the range of 8.7%-13.1%.
The amount of total allowance for credit loss is disclosed in Note 13 and the movement thereof during the years ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 is tabulated below:
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (?). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into derivatives such as forward contracts. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of hedging, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the foreign currency exposure.
Ratios for variances have been explained for change by more than 25% as compared to the previous year.
45. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under any law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts) has been made in the books of account.
46. Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is total debt (including short term debt) divided by total capital plus debt.
47. Exceptional items

Since, the transaction price of ? 1 is higher than the fair value of negative ? 609.0 million, in accordance with the Accounting Policy of the Company, the gain of ? 2,369.9 million, difference between the net liability and the fair value, has been credited to the statement of profit and loss as an exceptional item and the difference between transaction price and fair value has been credited to equity.
