 PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL, INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Certain Conventions
All references in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus to India are to the Republic of India and all references to
the U.S., U.S.A or United States are to the United States of America.
Unless stated otherwise, all references to page numbers in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to the page
numbers of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Financial Data
Unless stated otherwise, the financial information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from our
Restated Financial Statements in accordance with the Companies Act and Indian GAAP and restated in accordance
with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Our Companys Financial Year commences on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the following year. Accordingly,
all references to a particular financial year, unless stated otherwise, are to the 12 month period ended on March
31 of that year. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to a year in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
are to a calendar year and references to a financial year are to March 31 of that calendar year.
Certain figures contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including financial information, have been subject
to rounding adjustments. All decimals have been rounded off to two or one decimal places. In certain instances,
(i) the sum or percentage change of such numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the
sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that
column or row.
Our Restated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. There are significant
differences between Indian GAAP, Ind AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide reconciliation
of its financial information to Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those
differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is
urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data.
Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will
provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the readers level of familiarity with Indian accounting
policies and practices, the Companies Act, the Indian GAAP and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by
persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Our annual financial statements for periods
subsequent to April 1, 2016, will be prepared and presented in accordance with Ind AS. Given that Ind AS differs
in many respects from Indian GAAP, our financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind AS
may not be comparable to our historical financial statements prepared under the Indian GAAP.
We have published Ind AS financial statements on December 14, 2016, comprising of selective financial
information in the format as prescribed under SEBI circular number CIR/IMD/DF1/69/2016 dated August 10,
2016 (SEBI Circular). The Ind AS financial statements have been prepared and published in order to comply
with the requirements prescribed under Regulation 52 of the SEBI Listing Regulations since our secured bonds
are listed on the BSE. The Ind AS financial statements comprise of selective financial information which have
been (i) audited as of September 30, 2016; and (ii) unaudited as of September 30, 2015. As the results for the prior
period ended September 30, 2015 are unaudited in compliance with the SEBI Circular, such Ind AS financial
statements cannot be included and do not form part of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
On February 16, 2015, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Ind-AS Rules for the purpose of enacting
changes to Indian GAAP that are intended to align Indian GAAP further with IFRS. The Ind-AS Rules provide
that the financial statements of the companies to which they apply shall be prepared in accordance with the Indian
Accounting Standards converged with IFRS, although any company may voluntarily implement Ind AS for the
accounting period beginning from April 1, 2015.

We have not made any attempt to quantify or identify the impact of the differences between Indian GAAP and
Ind AS applied to our financial statements and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding the impact
of difference, if any, on financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
For details in connection with risks involving differences between Indian GAAP and IFRS see Risk Factors
Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP, Ind AS
and IFRS, which may be material to investors assessments of our financial condition on page 35 and for risks
in relation to Ind AS, see Risk Factors Public companies in India, including us, are required to compute Income
Tax under the Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (the ICDS). The transition to ICDS in India is

12
very recent and we may be negatively affected by such transition. on page 35 and Significant Differences
between Indian GAAP and Ind AS on page 230.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, as set forth in Risk Factors, Our Business,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditional and Results of Operations on pages 17, 114
and 236, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of
our Restated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Companies Act, Indian accounting policies and
practices and Indian GAAP and restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as aim, anticipate, believe, expect,
estimate, intend, objective, plan, project, will, will continue, will pursue or other words or
phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans, prospects or goals
are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions about us that 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 the forward-looking statements due to risks or
uncertainties associated with the expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to
the industries in India in which our Company operates 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 or investments, the
monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence 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 Companys expectations
include, but are not limited to, the following:
Dependence of commercial shipbuilding on the growth of global economy and global economic conditions;

Dependence on limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue and loss of our major
customers;

Commissioning of our new proposed Dry Dock or the new ISRF in a timely manner or without cost overruns;

Non accuracy of the cost estimates by the Dry Dock Project Consultant and the ISRF Project Consultant;

of losses under our fixed price contracts as a result of cost overruns, delays in delivery or failures to meet
contract specifications;

Our future growth and expansion being limited by our production capacities and the location at which we
operate;

The loss of, or shutdown of, our operations at our shipyard in Kochi from which our entire business operations
are based;

Non yielding of benefits, expected by us, from our strategic cooperation agreements;

Inability to successfully execute our growth strategies;

Inability to attract or retain key personnel; and

Any adverse change in laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties.

For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations, see Risk
Factors, Our Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations on pages 17, 114 and 236, respectively. 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 the 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 on the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on the managements 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.
Neither our Company, our Directors, the BRLMs nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to

15
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 requirements, our Company and BRLMs will ensure that the Bidders in India are informed of material
developments until the time of the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchanges.
In accordance with SEBI requirements, our Company and the Selling Shareholder shall severally ensure that
investors in India are informed of material developments from the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in
relation to the statements and undertakings made by them in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus until the time of
the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchanges for this Issue. Further, in accordance with
Regulation 51A of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company may be required to undertake an annual updation
of the disclosures made in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus and make it publicly available in the manner specified
by SEBI.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

Risk relating to Our Business and Our Industry

1. Worldwide demand and pricing in the commercial shipbuilding industry are highly dependent upon global
economic conditions. If the global economy fails to grow at an adequate pace, it may adversely impact the
commercial shipbuilding industry which may negatively affect our business, financial condition and
growth prospects.

The commercial shipbuilding industry is highly cyclical in nature and is also sensitive to the cyclical nature of the
industries it serves such as the oil, natural gas, shipping, transportation and other trade-related industries.
According to the CRISIL Report, a fall in the price of crude oil contributed to a recession in the shipbuilding
industry as international oil companies reduced capital expenditure, and delayed or cancelled orders for drill ships
and offshore production facilities.

The demand and pricing of our vessels are highly sensitive to global and regional economic conditions particularly
in India, China, South Korea, the Middle East, Western Europe and the USA, as well as seasonal and regional
changes in demand and changes in the global fleet size. CRISIL has noted that there has been a sharp decline in
the global shipbuilding order book after 2011. Particularly in relation to our commercial shipbuilding business,
continued economic growth in the world economy that exceeds growth in the global fleet size will be necessary
to sustain a continued demand for new ships.

However, there can be no assurance that such economic growth will continue in the future or sustain or improve
the performance of the shipbuilding and ship-repair industry. Any future deterioration in global economic
conditions as well as downward trends in trade-related industries, and our failure to accurately predict these cycles
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

2. Loss of any of our major customers or a reduction in their orders, or failure to succeed in tendering for
shipbuilding or ship repair projects for the Indian Navy in the future, despite our previous track record
will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth
prospects as we are dependent on a few of our major customers.

Our top two customers accounted for 87.69%, 82.46%, 89.94% and 73.16% of our revenue from operations in
Fiscals 2014, 2015, 2016 and the half year ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Further, we are currently
building Indias first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) for the Indian Navy and this forms a significant part of

17
our current order book. In the past we have undertaken complex and sophisticated repairs to ships of the Indian
Navy, Indian Coast Guard and merchant navy. Although part of our business strategy includes focusing on the
expected growth in the requirements of the Indian Navy for new ships, we do not have any contractual
arrangements with the Indian Navy or GoI to construct or repair naval ships.

Although we have more than 10 years of experience working with these customers, and have current orders from
these customers, we cannot assure you that these customers will continue to engage us or that we will continue to
sustain the general level of revenues that we have secured from them in the past. For example, recently a new
order for a series of FPVs was placed by the Indian Coast Guard with a private shipyard for the first time. Our
customer, in the ship building and ship repair industry, follow the competitive bidding process and due to such
procurement policy and competition we may suffer loss of new business from existing clients. If any of our major
customers ceases to have business dealings with us or materially reduces the level or frequency of their orders for
new vessels from us and we are unable to secure new orders from other sources to replace such a loss or reduction,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.

3. We cannot assure you that our proposed Dry Dock or International Ship Repair Facility will become
operational as scheduled, or at all, or operate as efficiently as planned. If we are unable to commission
our new proposed dry dock or the new ship repair facility in a timely manner or without cost overruns, our
business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

In addition to our existing dock, we are in the process of building a Dry Dock at a total estimated cost of `
17,989.91 million (based on a conversion rate of 1 USD = ` 67.83). The length of the Dry Dock will be greater
than the length of our existing docks. The larger size of our proposed Dry Dock will enable us to build and repair
ships of higher capacity and large naval vessels such as aircraft carriers. Further, the higher width of our proposed
Dry Dock will also enable us to undertake building and repair of rigs, within our shipyard.

In relation to our proposed Dry Dock, HaskoningDHV India Private Limited has prepared a Detailed Project
Report (DPR) dated October 5, 2016. We have also completed the Environmental Impact Assessment study
and have obtained environmental clearance dated November 9, 2016 (Environment Clearance) from the
Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC). However, the Environmental Clearance is
subject to certain conditions including obtaining prior clearance of the wildlife from the standing committee of
the National Wildlife Board and the outcome of an ongoing litigation in the Supreme Court of India. For more
details, see Risk Factor The environmental clearance for our new Dry Dock is subject to the final order in the
matter of Goa Foundation v. Union of India and amongst others, the prior clearance of the Standing Committee
of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 20.

Our Company has been provided the permission to file this DRHP without the receipt of the clearances set out
above pursuant to the SEBI Letter. However, the SEBI Letter, among other conditions, mandates that our
Company shall obtain all the approvals required for the Dry Dock project prior to the filing of the Red Herring
Prospectus. There can be no assurance as to whether we will receive all these approvals in a timely manner or at
all.

We entered into an agreement for development and operation of an international ship repair facility dated
December 24, 2012 with Cochin Port Trust under which we are in process of setting up. The agreement inter-alia
contains provisions for liquidated damages, indemnity and termination. The ISRF will be established on 16.90
hectares of land and about 15.60 hectare of water body. Out of this, we have taken on lease approximately 8.12
hectares of land and 15 hectares of water body from Cochin Port Trust (CoPT), including their existing ship-
repair facility, for a period of 30 years pursuant to the lease deed dated April 12, 2013. Since then, we have begun
using the existing Dry Dock and allied facilities in the leased area for carrying out ship repair in a limited way.
Our Company will have to comply with the conditions set out in the lease deed before it can obtain the lease for
the remaining part of the land. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the lease for the
remaining part of the land from CoPT.

The ISRF will comprise of a ship-lift, transfer system and allied facilities to be built at an estimated cost of `
9,694.1 million. We have appointed a consortium of Inros Lackner SE and Tata Consulting Engineers Limited as
project consultants. A detailed project report was prepared by the project consultants and received the GoI
approval on May 19, 2016. The Expert Appraisal Committee has already recommended for environmental
clearance for the project from the MoEFCC. However, we have not yet received the environmental clearance for
the ISRF project. We have also applied to national board for wildlife clearance, MoEFCC (Wildlife Division) and
for stage-I forest clearance.

18
The implementation of Dry Dock project and the ISRF is contingent upon the receipt of the pending approvals.
However, we cannot assure you that the construction of our proposed Dry Dock or ISRF, will be completed as
scheduled, or will become operational as soon, or operate as efficiently, as planned. For further details of pending
approvals, see Government and Other Approvals on page 271. Our Company has been provided the permission
to file this DRHP without the receipt of these clearances pursuant to the SEBI Letter. However, these clearances
must be obtained by us prior to filing of the Red Herring Prospectus.
The SEBI Letter has also provided us an exemption from the disclosure of the implementation schedule in this
DRHP. However, we are required to disclose the schedule of implementation in the Red Herring Prospectus, in
accordance with the SEBI Letter.

4. The cost estimates by the Dry Dock Project Consultant and the ISRF Project Consultant have been derived
from and benchmarked against similar maritime and dry dock/shipyard projects carried out by the Dry
Dock Project Consultant and the ISRF Project Consultant respectively in recent years and may not be
accurate.

The anticipated cost of construction of our proposed Dry Dock will be `17,989.91 million (based on a conversion
rate of `67.83 for one USD). The anticipated cost of the ISRF will be ` 9,694.1 million. Our anticipated costs for
our proposed Dry Dock and the ISRF are based on the DPRs prepared by the project consultants based on their
estimates, budgets and numerous assumptions, and has not been appraised by any bank, financial institution or
other independent organisation.

The Dry Dock Project Consultant maintains a confidential detailed in-house database of actual shipyard and
maritime construction costs based on all the construction projects they have been involved with. The cost estimates
provided under the DPR can be considered to be accurate to within +/-25% at DPR stage. The cost estimate also
excludes buildings that are not included within the scope of Dry Dock Project Consultant.

The cost estimate for our proposed Dry Dock project has been carried out by the Dry Dock Project Consultant in
February 2016. We shall tender work in relation to the civil work and plant and machinery on the basis of the
DPR and thus the final cost incurred by our Company may vary from the cost estimate provided by the Dry Dock
Project Consultant. The actual cost of the project may vary from the cost estimate provided by the Dry Dock
Project Consultant due to inflation and change in price of the equipment/ raw material/ man-power.

Further, the ISRF Project Consultants have estimated the capital construction costs based on applicable unit rates
for similar works as on September 2014. For pricing specific material (i.e. special maritime and onshore
equipment), the ISRF Project Consultants have considered imports from eligible countries. The ISRF Project
Consultants have considered price escalations up to March 31, 2017.

The actual costs of construction of our facilities may exceed such budgeted amounts due to a variety of factors
such as construction delays, adverse changes in raw material costs, interest rates, labour costs, foreign exchange
rates, regulatory and environmental factors, weather conditions and our financing needs. We are yet to obtain
quotations for the actual construction of our proposed Dry Dock and the ISRF and we are yet to place orders for
major civil contracts and plant and machinery for both the projects. Our financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity would be materially and adversely affected if our project or construction costs materially exceed
such budgeted amounts.

Further, we cannot assure you that the construction of our proposed Dry Dock or ISRF, will be completed as
scheduled, or will become operational as soon, or operate as efficiently, as planned. For further details of the
scheduled operational dates of our proposed Dry Dock and the ISRF, see Objects of the Issue on page 78.

If there are delays in the construction of our proposed Dry Dock or the ISRF, problems with their facilities or for
other reasons, our proposed Dry Dock or the ISRF does not function as efficiently as intended, or our utilisation
of our proposed Dry Dock or the ISRF is not optimal, we may not be able to take additional orders to produce
anticipated or desired revenue as planned. As a result our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

5. We could incur losses under our fixed price contracts as a result of cost overruns, delays in delivery or
failures to meet contract specifications which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our shipyard operations are subject to risks including, among others, the breakdown, failure or sub-standard
performance of machinery, natural disasters like floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, other natural disasters, long

19
periods of adverse weather, social unrest, disruptions in transportation and strikes, which may result in operational
disruptions. Although we believe we have taken an insurance cover that is typical for our business, any material
operational disruptions will adversely affect our ability to meet our construction schedules and cause delays in the
delivery of vessels to our customers.

We are dependent on our suppliers for the timely delivery of raw materials, the most important of the raw materials
being steel, bought out equipment and components such as pumps, propellers and engines. Additionally, we
outsource certain aspects of our shipbuilding work scope, such as fabrication work, vessel sub-assemblies etc.,
from time to time, to our subcontractors. We also rely heavily on imports of steel and marine equipment and other
shipping related components that are not manufactured domestically or due to pricing advantages. Sometimes, we
have to compete with our competitors for these components, resulting in delays in the delivery of such
components. We are also dependent on the timely completion of sub-contracted works by our subcontractors when
we use their services. We may encounter situations where we are unable to deliver our products on a timely basis
due to, amongst other reasons, late or lack of delivery of raw materials from our suppliers, delivery of wrong
material or sub-standard material, or late completion of subcontracted works by our subcontractors. In addition,
we are also dependent on subcontract labour and production workers for the construction of our vessels. If we are
unable to source such raw materials, equipment and components from alternative suppliers on a timely basis, our
production schedule may be delayed, thereby delaying the delivery of the vessel to our customers. In addition, our
profitability may also be adversely affected if we are unable to secure alternative sources of such raw materials,
equipment and components in a cost efficient manner or if we are unable to recover liquidated damages from the
defaulting suppliers.

Most of our shipbuilding contracts are fixed-price contracts. In the case of IAC which is presently under Phase II
construction, the yard effort (work scope) is covered under fixed-price contracts and all procurement is on a cost
plus mark-up basis. In relation to small, medium and large vessels, we typically enter into contracts for a period
ranging from 18-24 months, 20-36 months and 40-72 months, respectively, prior to the scheduled delivery. All
costs including labour and raw materials costs are forecasted by us when we enter into such fixed-price contracts.
In case of cost variances from such estimates, we are permitted to retain all cost savings on completed contracts
but are liable for the full amount of all cost overruns. In the past, we have witnessed cost overruns in the case of
some of our contracts and we may also continue to witness the same in the future. The actual costs incurred on a
fixed-price contract may vary from our estimates due to factors such as:

unanticipated variations in labour and equipment productivity over the term of a contract;
unanticipated increases in labour, raw material, subcontracting and overhead costs, including as a result of
bad weather;
delivery delays and corrective measures for poor workmanship; and
equipment failures.
We cannot assure you that these contracts, if secured, can be completed profitably. Significant cost overruns on
our fixed price contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.

Depending on the size of the project, variations from estimated contract performance could significantly reduce
our earnings, and could result in losses, during any quarter of a fiscal or entire fiscal. All of our fixed price
contracts provide for liquidated damages for late delivery. In the past, we have been required to re-negotiate some
of the terms, such as price, date of delivery, scope of work, of our shipbuilding contracts due to a delay in delivery
of the vessel owing to a combination of internal as well as external factors beyond our control. We have also had
to pay liquidated damages for delay in delivery and for quality issues. There can be no assurance that our customers
in future will not rescind their shipbuilding contracts with us if there is a delay in delivery beyond the time
stipulated in the contract or we may need to renegotiate some of our shipbuilding contracts. This may have an
impact on our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.

6. The environmental clearance for our new Dry Dock is subject to the final order in the matter of Goa
Foundation v. Union of India and amongst others, the prior clearance of the Standing Committee of the
National Board for Wildlife.

In relation to our Dry Dock project, we have received an environmental clearance dated November 9, 2016 from
the MOEFCC (the Environmental Clearance). The Environmental Clearance is subject to, amongst other
conditions, obtaining prior clearance of the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. Further, as

20
part of the general conditions, the Environment Clearance is also subject to the final order of the Supreme Court
of India in the matter of Goa Foundation vs Union of India in writ petition no. 460 of 2004 (the Goa Foundation
PIL), as may be applicable to the Dry Dock project. There is no assurance that clearance from the Standing
Committee of the National Board for Wildlife will be available in time, or at all, to enable us to successfully
complete this project. Further, any adverse order by the Supreme Court of India in this matter may negatively
affect our ability to obtain the Environment Clearance.

Even in the event such clearance or order is obtained, we may be required to temporarily or permanently
discontinue the Dry Dock project or meet additional compliance or other project associated costs (including costs
after completion of the project) which cannot be currently ascertained or quantified.

Failure to receive the Environmental Clearance due to one of these reasons or a requirement to incur additional
costs as one of the conditions of the Environmental Clearance may adversely affect our business, financial
conditions, reputation and results of operations. For further details in relation to the Goa Foundation PIL, see
Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments Details of pending litigation involving any other
person whose outcome could have material adverse effect on the position of our Company on page 269.

7. Our future growth and expansion is limited by our production capacities and the location at which we
operate.

Our production capacity is limited by, amongst other things, the size of our shipyard, the number, size and
capacities of our berths, docks and our plant and equipment. See Our Business - Our Operations on page 123
for a discussion of our facilities. In addition, the size and capacity of the vessels we construct is limited by our
location at which we operate. Our proposed Dry Dock will be constructed within our current premises and the
new ISRF facility will be constructed on land leased from Cochin Port Trust. Post the construction of our proposed
Dry Dock we will not be able to undertake any further expansion activities on our premises due to a lack of
additional space.

Further the operations of the cranes at the proposed Dry Dock will be subject to the restrictions specified in the
letter dated December 20, 2016 issued by the Ministry of Defence to inter alia our Company. Currently, we are
limited to the construction of vessels up to 110,000 DWT and repair of ships up to the size of 125,000 DWT at
our shipyard. In the event that we are unable to relocate or increase our production capabilities to enable us to
construct such vessels, we may lose business opportunities and our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects will be adversely affected.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage the future expansion of our facilities effectively. Any failure
on our part to do so will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.

8. Our entire business operations are based out of a single shipyard at Kochi. The loss of, or shutdown of,
our operations at our shipyard in Kochi will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our shipbuilding and other facilities are based out of single premises in our shipyard in Kochi. Accordingly, we
rely exclusively on our facilities at our shipyard in Kochi to earn revenues, pay our operating expenses and service
our debt. Any significant interruption to, or loss or shutdown of, operations at our shipyard in Kochi would
adversely affect our business. Our shipbuilding, ship repair, and other business activities, may be subject to
unexpected interruptions, including from natural and man-made disasters. Our facilities and operations could be
adversely affected by, among other factors, breakdown or failure of equipment, difficulties or delays in obtaining
spare parts and equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency,
obsolescence, labour disputes, natural disasters, raw material shortages, fire, explosion and other unexpected
industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities.

Furthermore, any significant interruption to our operations directly or indirectly as a result of industrial accidents,
severe weather or other natural disasters could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Similar adverse consequences could follow if war, or war-like situation were to prevail,
terrorist attacks were to affect our related infrastructure, or if the Government of India were to temporarily take
over the facility during a time of national emergency. In addition, any disruption in basic infrastructure, such as
in the supply of electricity from the State of Kerala or in our water supply could substantially increase our
manufacturing costs. We do not maintain business interruption insurance and will not be covered for any claims
or damages arising out of such disruptions. Any disruption of our existing supply of basic infrastructure services
such as power or water, our failure to obtain such additional supplies as required by us or an increase in the cost

21
of such supplies may result in additional costs to us. In such situations, our production capacity may be materially
and adversely impacted. In the event our facilities are forced to shut down for a significant period of time, our
earnings, financial condition and results of operation would be materially and adversely affected.

9. Our strategic cooperation agreements with various business partners may not yield the benefits we expect.

We have entered into a number of strategic cooperation agreements with some of our customers. For example, we
signed a MoU with Lakshadweep Development Corporation Limited (LDCL) on April 12, 2013 for routine &
dry-dock repairs and to also attend to emergency/afloat repairs to vessels. We have also entered into MoUs with
DGLL for dry dock repairs of many of their ships, DCI for repairs of dredgers, Wartsila for the setting up of a
workshop within our premises. We expect to enter into more strategic cooperation agreements during the
development of our business. However, some of these strategic cooperation agreements may not actually bring us
benefits as we expected. Furthermore, a strategic cooperation agreement may not be implemented as we expected.
If our strategic cooperation partners refuse to adhere to the relevant strategic cooperation agreements or enter into
individual contracts with us in relation to a specific matter, we may not have legal rights to hold them liable for
our damages or loss of profits. Therefore, a strategic cooperation agreement may not convey any actual benefit to
us. You should not rely on the strategic cooperation agreements to evaluate our results of operations and financial
condition.

10. There are outstanding legal and tax proceedings involving our Company. Further, in one of the
outstanding legal proceedings, the Chairman and Managing Director of our Company has also been made
a performa party. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may expose us to liabilities or penalties and
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are involved in certain civil and tax (direct and indirect)
proceedings, which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals, forums and
appellate authorities. We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour. Decisions
in proceedings adverse to our interests may have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. In relation to tax proceedings, in the event of any adverse outcome, we may
be required to pay the disputed amounts along with applicable interest and penalty and may also incur additional
tax incidence going forward.

developments arise, such as a change in Indian law or rulings against us by appellate courts or tribunals, we may
need to make provisions in our financial statements that could increase our expenses and current or long term
liabilities. For further details, see Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments on page 265.

11. The delivery of IAC which forms a significant portion of our current order book has been delayed. Future
delays may materially and adversely affect our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

We are building Indias first IAC for the Indian Navy. The publicly available CAG report on this matter titled
Union Defence Services Navy and Coast Guard tabled on July 26, 2016 states that IACs delivery with
completion of all delivery-related activities is likely to be achieved only by 2023.

This delay has been attributed by the CAG Report to several reasons including late procurement of key parts,
further delayed supply of key raw materials including steel and other bought out components and frequent changes
to and lack of design information. The Indian Navy has claimed that many changes to the design which led to the
delay were proposed by us.

The CAG report also cites our lack of experience both in relation to vessel type and size and the complexity of
the project. While we do not agree with CAGs assessment of this matter, further delay and disagreements in
relation to this project may materially and adversely affect our reputation, results of operations and financial
condition.

12. We may be unable to attract and retain sufficient skilled or qualified personnel. Our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to recruit and retain
suitable staff for our operations.

Our operations require highly skilled and qualified personnel, such as engineers, skilled workmen and other
technicians. Further, we will require additional employees and subcontract labour and production workers at our
proposed Dry Dock and ISRF facilities. However, competition for skilled shipyard labour in India is intense. Our
competitors may also be expanding their operations and may require additional workers. As a result, we may from
time to time, experience difficulties in attracting and retaining highly skilled employees. For example, our
engineers are instrumental in analysing the design blueprints of new vessels and play a central role in designing
the hull, electrical and piping system and producing the production engineering drawings. They also play a critical
role in our cost management system, as we are dependent on them to formulate production design plans that will
allow for the efficient utilisation of our raw materials. Our inability to maintain a sufficient number of skilled and
qualified personnel to handle the more sophisticated and technology-intensive processes, or our inability to pay
substantially higher salaries to procure these personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Labour shortages could increase the cost of labour and hinder our productivity and ability to complete the
construction of our vessels on time, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.

We believe that the present salary levels of our employees are high compared to average industry standards in
India. An increase in labour costs or minimum wage laws in Kerala may further increase our employee and labour
costs. Employee compensation in India has historically been lower than employee compensation in the United
States and Western Europe and in Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan, for comparably skilled
professionals, which has been one of our competitive strengths. Employee compensation increases in India may
reduce some of this competitive advantage and may negatively affect our profit margins. Furthermore, as per the
CRISIL Report, the effective cost of labour in Indian shipyards is higher as compared to Japanese and Korean
shipyards, due to a lack of automated systems in Indian shipyards augmenting the production process. Although
labour costs in India are lower, they may increase at a faster rate than in the aforementioned countries and regions,
which could result in increased costs relating to engineers, managers and other mid-level professionals. We may

23
need to continue to increase the levels of our employee compensation to retain key employees and manage
attrition. Such increase may have an adverse effect on our business, profitability and financial condition.

Further, we utilise contract labour in our shipyard on a regular basis. In the event that we are unable to secure our
required contract labour through these arrangements, or if the costs for such services increase, our business, and
results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition)
Act, 1970, as amended, we may be required to absorb a number of such contract labourers as permanent
employees. Any such order from a regulatory body or court may have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

13. Our growth rate, the number of orders we have received in the past and our current order book may not
be indicative of our future growth rate or the number of orders we will receive in the future.

Our order book on hand, as of a certain date, represents the total nominal value of the contracts that have not been
completed, excluding the portion of revenue in respect of those orders that we have recognized as of such date.
As of September 30, 2016, our shipbuilding order book consisted of nine vessels with an aggregate outstanding
revenue value of ` 30,783.28 million. The successful conversion of these orders into our revenue depends on a
number of factors including, among other things, absence of adverse changes in the Indian and global shipping
markets, the availability of funds to ship-owners, competition, our production capacity, our research and
development and our ability to deliver the vessels on time. Some of the factors are beyond our control and by
nature, are subject to uncertainty. Going forward, our order book may be affected by delays, cancellations and the
renegotiations of the contracts, if any, therefore we cannot assure you that we will be able to deliver all of our
existing orders on schedule and successfully turn them into our revenue. Therefore, you should not consider our
order book as an accurate indicator of our future performance or future revenue.

As of September 30, 2016, our ship repair order book had a total outstanding revenue value of ` 4,019.42 million.
While we currently do not have any ships on order in which we have a lack of experience or expertise, in the
future we may contract orders for new products or we may diversify our products into lines in which we have no
experience and in such circumstances we cannot assure you that we may not encounter delays in the delivery of
these vessels or that these vessels will not have defects, poor workmanship or non-conformity to specifications.

We have grown steadily in the last few years. Our total revenues and PAT have increased from `14,737.01 million
and `1,553.28 million respectively in Fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29 million, respectively, in
Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25% and 16.47% respectively from Fiscal 2012 to Fiscal 2016. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to maintain our past growth rate or secure the same number of orders we have received in the
past. Our past growth rate or secured orders should not be relied upon as indicators of our future growth rate or
orders we will receive in the future. To the extent that we experience any significant decrease in demand for our
products, increase in competition or increase in the prices of raw materials, equipment and components, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Our continuous
growth depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the impact on demand
for our products resulting from the macroeconomic policies of the Indian government and governments in other
countries, the level of competition in India and sectors in which we conduct business and the prices we pay for
raw materials, equipment and components.

Furthermore, we face risks of a low growth rate of orders because the shipbuilding orders placed by our customers
are typically non-recurring in nature. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will receive the same number of
orders as or more orders than we have received in the past or that the contract value of the order book will remain
the same or increase. As a result, you should not take the number of orders we have received in the past or the
current value of our order book as an indicator of our performance or numbers of orders in the future.

14. We may face claims and incur additional rectification costs for defects and warranties in respect of our
vessels and offshore business structures which could have a negative effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

We may face claims by our customers in respect of defects, poor workmanship or non-conformity to our
customers specifications in respect of vessels and offshore business structures built by us and such claims could
be substantial. Such claims could also adversely affect our reputation and ability to grow our business. We
generally extend a warranty period of 12 months to our customers for new vessels from the date of delivery. We
are also generally required to give additional warranties for the time period between the completion of construction
and delivery of our vessels. Due to the length of the warranty period extended by us, we may be subject to claims
from our customers and we may incur additional costs if rectification work is required in order for us to satisfy
our obligations during the warranty period. We cannot assure that our warranty provisions will be sufficient to

24
cover the costs incurred for defects. If the costs of any rectification works exceed the warranty provisions we have
made, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

15. Our operations expose us to potential liabilities that may not be covered by insurance or greater than our
existing insurance cover. As a result should we incur substantial liability which our insurance does not
cover our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to inherent risks such as equipment defects, malfunctions and failures, equipment
misuse and natural disasters that can result in fires and explosions. We maintain a standard fire and special perils
policy but we do not have insurance for business interruption. Substantial portions of our activities involve the
fabrication and refurbishment of large steel structures, the operation of cranes and other heavy machinery and
other operating hazards. These risks could expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death,
product liability, property damage, pollution and other environmental damages. Although we have obtained
insurance for our employees as required by Indian laws and regulations, as well as our important properties and
assets, our insurance may not be adequate to cover all potential liabilities. We also maintain various other
insurance policies including: public liability insurance, a directors/officers liability policy, a marine hull policy,
ship repairers liability insurance policy and a builders risk insurance policy. We cannot assure you that insurance
will be generally available in the future or, if available, that the premiums will not increase or remain commercially
justifiable. If we incur substantial liability and the insurance does not, or is insufficient to, cover the damages, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

16. We may not be able to secure new contracts if we are unable to issue the requisite performance guarantees.

The shipbuilding industry is a capital intensive industry and as the contract prices for new vessels are generally
high, we are usually required to furnish our customers with performance guarantees as security for the fulfilment
of our contractual obligations under our shipbuilding contracts.

In order for us to secure performance guarantees, banks and financial institutions review, among other things, our
financial standing and creditworthiness. Generally, we arrange for banks to issue performance guarantees to our
customers from our available banking facilities. If we do not have available banking facilities to issue the
performance guarantees, we approach other banks or financial institutions to issue the performance guarantee.
While we have been able to procure performance guarantees for new contracts to date, in the event that we are
unable to do so and we are unable to satisfy the financial requirements prescribed by banks and financial
institutions, we will not be able to procure the requisite performance guarantees and as a result, we may be unable
to secure new contracts, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.

17. We face the risk of unsatisfactory quality of work performed by our subcontractors which could result in
a negative impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely substantially on subcontractors for our labour requirements. Instead of maintaining a large number of full
time employees, we employ a significant number of contract labour and production workers, which we can
increase or decrease to suit our requirements. We may outsource certain aspects of our shipbuilding work, such
as the production of certain vessel sub-assemblies and structural sections, from time to time, to our contractors.
Despite our best efforts, inspection supervision and quality management system, these subcontractors may use
poor quality or defective sub-components or underqualified or less skilled workers, and as a result, should a sub-
standard quality of vessel be delivered, this could adversely impact our reputation. Furthermore, our
subcontractors may not report safety concerns. This may lead to increased costs borne by us, which could
adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and our
relationships with our customers. In addition, should our subcontractors default on their contractual obligations
or be unable to complete their work according to specifications on schedule, our ability to deliver the vessels to
our customers in accordance with the quality or timing specifications in the shipbuilding contract may be
compromised, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects. Our Company also assumes liability for the work undertaken by the subcontractors in
connection with any design or engineering work and hence, any failure on the part of our sub-contractors to
perform their obligations in a timely manner or at all could adversely affect our operations, financial conditions
and cash flows.

18. Our businesses are dependent on our information technology infrastructure and we rely on third-party
licences for our business.

We are dependent on our information technology infrastructure to conduct our business activities, manage risks,

25
implement our internal control systems and manage and monitor our business operations. The key systems in
place include an enterprise resource planning system, which enables our management to more accurately assess
the inventory, production capacity, procurement requirements and performance of each of our departments and
assists them in allocating resources throughout our business and improves operational efficiency by enhancing
supply chain and distribution management. We also use third party software for creating detailed designs in
relation to the vessels we build. We rely on third party information technology service providers to maintain and
upgrade our systems and have contracted reputable information technology companies widely accepted in our
industry to construct and improve our information technology infrastructure. A failure or breakdown of any part
of our information technology infrastructure can interrupt our normal business operations, result in a slowdown
in operational and management efficiency and impact our ability to meet our construction schedules. A serious
dispute with our information technology service providers or termination of our licensing agreements or service
contracts can impact our ability to upgrade our information technology infrastructure on a timely and cost-
effective basis, which is critical to maintaining our competitiveness. If any of these events occur, our business,
financial condition and result of operations may be adversely affected.

19. Our planned capital expenditure may not yield the intended benefits or we may be unable to raise finances
to fund our planned capital expenditure which may negatively impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

We plan to use part of net proceeds, internal accruals, additional bank financing and future equity issuances to
fund our planned capital expenditure and future expansion (including the development of the Dry Dock). The
amount of such additional required funding will depend on whether these projects are completed within budget,
the timing of completion of the construction of the Dry Dock and the ISRF, expansion of our revenue generating
operations, any further investments we may make, and the amount of cash flow from our operations in the future.
If delays and cost overruns are significant, the additional funding we would require could be substantial.
Additional bank financing may not be available as and when required and, if incurred, would result in increased
debt service obligations and could result in additional operating and financing covenants, or liens on our assets,
that would restrict our operations. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our
shareholders.

As of January 31, 2017, our fund-based financial indebtedness was ` 1,230.00 million (tax free bonds excluding
interest). Our ability to obtain required funding on acceptable terms is subject to a number of uncertainties,
including:

limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, including as a result of prospective lenders evaluations of
our creditworthiness and pursuant to restrictions on incurrence of debt in our existing and anticipated credit
arrangements;
investors and lenders perception of, and demand for, debt and equity securities of shipbuilding companies
and companies engaged in the offshore business, as well as the offerings of competing financing and
investment opportunities in India by our competitors;
conditions in the Indian and international capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; and
economic, political and other conditions in India and internationally.
Further, State Bank of Travancore (SBT) has issued a letter of credit on our behalf with an amount outstanding
as on January 31, 2017 of ` 209.83 million. However, the related sanction letter has expired. As SBT is currently
in the process of being merged with the State Bank of India (SBI), the existing facility with SBT is unlikely to
be renewed, given our existing credit arrangements with SBI. However, SBT may withdraw the letter of credit or
recall it any time before the formal date of the merger or before entering into a new sanction letter. If SBT
withdraws the letter of credit, we may be forced to make alternative arrangements, which may adversely affect
our immediate cash flows.

We cannot assure you that necessary financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If we fail to raise additional funds in such amounts and at such times as we may need, we may be forced to reduce
our capital expenditures and construction to a level that can be supported by our currently available funding
sources and delay the construction of our proposed Dry Dock, and ISRF, which may result in our inability to meet
drawing conditions under our current loan facilities or default and exercise of remedies by the lenders under our
loan facilities. In that event, we may be unable to complete our projects under construction and could suffer a
partial or complete loss of our investments in our projects.

26
20. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our competitors and new
entrants to the industry. If we are unable to compete effectively in any of our business segments, it may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is highly competitive. We face competition from existing competitors located both in India and
elsewhere, and in particular in South Korea, Japan and China, as well as new entrants to this industry. For further
details, see Industry Overview on page 94. We compete on the basis of our ability to fulfil our contractual
obligations including the timely delivery of vessels constructed by us, our yards capacity and operational
efficiencies and the price and quality of the vessels we construct. Some of our competitors have more resources
than we have and some of our competitors may have lower costs of operations, including lower costs of raw
materials and manpower, than we have. In addition, some of our competitors may have competitive advantages
in building certain types of vessels compared to us given our current dock size and other facility constraints. Our
competitors, particularly those in India, from time to time, may engage in aggressive and unviable pricing and
delivery schedules in order to gain market share. Further, most of our clients follow competitive bidding processes
due to which we may not be able to effectively bid for future projects.

Moreover, our competitors outside India may be able to source cheaper raw materials given that indigenous
ancillary industries are virtually non-existent in India and therefore we are required to import a substantial portion
of our major raw materials and other equipment. In addition, a number of shipbuilding companies currently focus
on building different types of vessels than we do. Although these shipbuilding companies currently do not compete
with us, they may possess the capability to build the types of vessels we build and we cannot assure you that they
will not compete with us in the future. See Our Business - Competition for a description of our key competitors.

Further, due to recent liberalisation policies, private companies have been allowed to bid for vessels used in
defence-related projects. This may lead to increased competition and there can be no assurance that we will be
able to compete successfully against our competitors as well as new entrants in our industry in the future, or that
the shipbuilding and ship-repair companies that are not directly in competition with us now will not compete with
us in the future. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be
adversely and materially affected if we are unable to maintain our competitive advantage and compete successfully
against our competitors and any new entrants to our industry in the future.

21. We have had negative net cash flows in the past and may continue to have negative cash flows in the
future.

We had negative cash flow from our operating and financing activities and net cash and cash equivalent as set out
below:

(` in millions)
For the half year
For the Financial Year ended March 31,

For further details, see Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations on pages 162 and 236, respectively. We cannot assure you that our net cash
flow will be positive in the future.

22. We are exposed to the risk of increases in the price of our raw materials. Further, if we are unable to
source quality raw materials required for our business at competitive prices, our business, results of
operations and profitability may be adversely affected.

The major components of our expenditure include raw materials such as steel (the grade and quality of which, in
each project, depends on the applicable classification rules) and other materials, equipment and other components
such as pumps, propellers and engines. In Fiscals 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, our material consumption
costs constituted 54.37%, 64.51% and 63.65%, of our total costs, respectively. In particular, bought out

27
components accounted for more than 80% of our total raw material cost in these recent fiscals.

Shortages in the supply of the raw materials we use in our business may result in an increase in the price of these
raw materials. For example, there are supply-side constraints in relation to steel in India which we expect will
continue in the future. The Indian steel industry has been unable to compete globally due to which the GoI has
imposed significant duties on the import of steel from other countries such as China to protect the domestic steel
industry. This has adversely affected us by increasing our cost of procurement. In addition, the cost of certain raw
materials, such as steel, may fluctuate in line with any changes in their global supply and demand.

In the event that the price of our raw materials increase, we will not be able to pass these price increases to our
customers on our existing fixed contracts and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.

23. We are subject to stringent labour laws and our workmen are unionised under a number of trade unions.
Labour disputes could lead to lost production and increased costs.

India has stringent labour legislation that protects the interests of workers, including legislation that sets forth
detailed procedures for discharge of employees and dispute resolution and imposes financial obligations on
employers upon employee layoffs. As a result of such stringent labour regulations, it is difficult for us to maintain
flexible human resource policies, discharge employees or downsize, which may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Additional labour unrest could result due to the operative labour
union within our workforce. We cannot assure you that there will not be any face, strikes or work stoppages in
the future, which could have an adverse impact on our operations, particularly given our dependence on a large
workforce. For further details, see History and certain Corporate Matters Lock-out, Strikes, etc on page 138.

24. Certain properties, including the land on which we are constructing the ISRF, are not owned by us and
we enjoy only a leasehold right over certain of these properties. If we are unable to occupy and use this
land or fails to extend the lease period on lease expiry on reasonable terms, it may have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Company.

We do not own the land on which the ISRF and related facilities are being constructed and has been taken by us
on lease, pursuant to a lease agreement dated April 12, 2013 between the Cochin Port Trust and us for a term of
30 years, together with the right to use 15 hectares or thereabouts of adjoining water body. In the event that we
are unable to obtain an extension or the lease is terminated due to any reason or the lease expires after the original
period of lease of 30 years, we will have to transfer the ISRF facility to CoPT along with all the assets developed
in relation thereto on the basis of a third-party valuation of assets to be paid by CoPT.

Upon expiration of the lease agreement for our leased premises, we will be required to negotiate the terms and
conditions on which the lease agreement may be renewed. Termination of our lease may occur for reasons beyond
our control, such as breach of any terms of the lease agreement by the landlord of our premises. If we, our current
or future landlords breach the lease agreement, we may have to shut down our operations at this site. Shut down
of any part of our operations may cause disruptions to our business and may require significant expenditure, which
may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

25. We are subject to extensive government regulation and if we fail to obtain, maintain or renew our statutory
and regulatory licenses, permits and approvals required for our business, our results of operations and
cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation and we are required to obtain and maintain a
number of statutory and regulatory permits and approvals under central, state and local government rules in India,
generally for carrying out our business and for each of our manufacturing facilities. For details of applicable
regulations and approvals relating to our business and operations, see Regulations and Policies and
Government and Other Approvals on page 129 and 271, respectively.

A majority of these approvals are granted for a limited duration and require renewal. The approvals required by
our Company are subject to numerous conditions and we cannot assure you that these would not be suspended or
revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged noncompliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or
pursuant to any regulatory action. If there is any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulations or if the
regulations governing our business are amended, we may incur increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our
approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which could adversely affect our

28
business.

26. Our business is expected to become more diversified and our historical results of operations may not be
indicative of our future performance. Failure to successfully implement our new business model, execute
our new business strategies or develop new business may materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are presently constructing the first IAC for the Indian Navy. We have also obtained a licence to aid us in
building LNG carriers using the patented membrane containment system. As part of our growth strategy, we intend
to diversify our product offerings to include vessels such as LNG carriers and the second IAC.

As we do not have sufficient experience in manufacturing these new products and since our contracts typically
provide for liquidated damages for late delivery, we may encounter greater risks of cost overruns and delays in
delivery on these contracts than on those for the vessels we built in the past. These vessels are often more complex
in design and more difficult to build. We may be unable to spread the cost of design and research and development
among similar vessels or have a profit margin comparable to that from other vessels normally we build. We do
not yet have all the technological know-how or intellectual property rights to build these vessels and may have to
spend large amounts of fees to obtain licenses or invest a substantial amount of capital and human resources in
conducting research and designing and building prototypes. Development costs of these new products may be
excessive and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We derived the majority of our revenue from our shipbuilding business, which accounted for 83.62%, 82.19%
and 77.32% of our total revenue for Fiscals 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. We expect to gain the capacity to
manufacture complex products in the near future and a wider variety of other vessels in the long run. Even if we
acquire the capacity and capability in the new segment, there is no assurance that we will secure new orders in
this segment competing with overseas shipyards.

We are in the process of constructing our proposed Dry Dock at a total estimated cost of `17,989.91 million. We
are also setting up the ISRF at an investment of approximately `9,694.1 million. We do not have previous track
record or expertise in a project involving such capital expenditure. We cannot assure you that we will be successful
due to, among others, the following factors:

our failure to correctly identify relevant market trends including those relating to, customer demand for the
type of vessels that we propose to build on this basis, the cost of raw materials, movements in foreign
exchange rates and the price of such vessels;
our inability to properly manage our cash flow, financing resources and in relation to the new business model;
higher interest expense or reduced interest income due to funding the new business model using our own
capital;
our failure to manage construction costs and cost overruns; or
our inability to find customers to purchase or lease these vessels at prices acceptable to us.
Our expansion within a short period of time has imposed on us new operational, management and planning
demands, which are significantly different from those we encountered in operating our business and for which we
may require different expertise and experience.

The implementation of these strategies depends on a number of factors including, among other things, absence of
adverse changes in the Indian and global shipping markets, the availability of funds, less competition, government
policies and our ability to retain and recruit competent employees. Some of the factors are beyond our control and
by nature, are subject to uncertainty. There is no assurance that our strategies can be implemented successfully.
Any failure or delay in the implementation of any or all of these strategies may have a material adverse effect on
our profitability and prospects. There can be no assurance that our revenues or profits will continue to increase or
that our profit margin will not significantly decrease or that we will not experience losses from our new businesses.
As a result, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future performance.

27. Trade unions under which majority of our workmen are unionised have objected to the proposed Issue.
This may lead to strikes, lock-down or work stoppages which will adversely affect our operations,
reputation and financial condition.

29
Majority of our workmen have opposed the proposed Issue and have submitted their statement of objection
through their respective trade unions to us.

We cannot assure you that we will not face any strikes or work stoppages in the future or agitations by our
workmen against the proposed Issue, which may affect adversely affect our reputation and could have an adverse
impact on our operations.

28. We are dependent on the Cochin Port Trust (CoPT) for certain basic services required for daily
operations. If our relationship with CoPT is negatively affected in any manner or if CoPT is unable to
provide these services in the future, it may have an adverse impact on our operations.

We outsource certain basic services which are key to our daily operations such as pilotage, tugs and voyage
permits to CoPT. Timely availability of these services is a critical factor for successful execution of our daily
operations. There can be no assurance that CoPT will continue to provide us these services in the future on terms
favourable to us, or at all. If our relationship with CoPT is negatively affected in any manner or if CoPT is unable
to provide these services in the future, it may have an adverse impact on our operations.

29. The sea channel adjacent to our shipyard suffers from siltation which requires incurring additional
expenditure.

The Kochi port is a riverine port which is prone to higher than usual levels of siltation. Due to this, periodic
dredging and maintenance is required to keep the water channel functional for our use and needs. This requires
incurring of additional expenditure compared to shipyards in other parts of India. If we are required to incur
substantial expenditure on dredging in relation to this, it may affect our results of operations and financial
condition.

30. We depend on the contribution of key management personnel. The loss of their services may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued service of our key management personnel. If we
lose the services of any of our existing key management personnel without timely and suitable replacements, or
are unable to attract and retain new personnel with suitable experience as we grow, our financial performance and
operations may be materially and adversely affected. Our Chairman and Managing Director (Madhu S Nair) and
Director (Technical), (Sunny Thomas), Director (Finance) (Paul Ranjan), and Director (Operations) (Suresh Babu
N V), have been with us for over 20 years and have been instrumental in charting the business direction and
spearheading our growth. Accordingly, the loss of one or more members of our senior management team could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as these
persons may be difficult to replace.

31. Factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may cause our customers to terminate their
projects, postpone purchases from us or default on payments owed to us, which may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our customers retain the right to change/reduce the scope/terminate/indefinitely postpone their shipbuilding
contracts. In the event of a change/reduction in scope/termination/indefinite postponement of a shipbuilding
contract, the customer is generally required to pay for work performed and raw materials purchased up to the date
of termination, and in most cases, pay to us a termination fee representing our profit margin if the project had been
completed, which has to be agreed between the customer and us. However, any termination of a significant
contract would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.

Furthermore, factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may cause our customers to postpone
purchases from us. Due to the possibility of changes in project scope and schedule as a result of exercises of our
customers discretion or reasons outside the control of our customers, we cannot predict with certainty when, if
or to what extent a project will be performed.

Even where a project proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the contracting parties may default or otherwise
fail to pay amounts owed. Any reduction in scope, payment postponement or payment default in regard to order
book projects or disputes with customers in respect of any of the foregoing could materially harm our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

30
32. We have sought to renegotiate our agreements with some of our commercial shipping customers and we
are engaged in arbitration with an agent in respect of a terminated agency agreement.

We have sought to renegotiate some of our agreements with our commercial shipbuilding customers in the past.
This renegotiation has been primarily due to our failure to deliver the vessels on time. Such delay was caused due
to various factors including equipment failures, delay in supply of materials and other technical reasons.

We are also engaged in arbitration proceedings with an agent in respect of a terminated agency agreement and
their brokerage claim on a particular shipbuilding contract secured by us from Saudi Arabia. The arbitral tribunal
made an award against our Company. Aggrieved by the arbitral award, we have filed a petition in the civil court
for a stay of execution. The civil court has granted a stay of execution until the disposal of the original Petition.
The matter is currently pending. We cannot assure you that the outcome of the proceedings will be favourable to
us. An unfavourable outcome, in this matter may have an adverse effect on our business, profitability and financial
condition.

33. We have contingent liabilities in our balance sheet, as restated, at September 30, 2016. Further our
Company may be subject to certain proceedings in respect of ongoing tax litigations and our Company has
not presently provided for such disputed demands including penalties, if any, which may be imposed.
Realisation of our contingent liabilities may adversely impact our profitability and may have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The following are the contingent liabilities in our balance sheet, as restated, as at September 30, 2016. If any of
these actually occur in the future, they may adversely impact our profitability and may have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition:

various tribunals and our Company may also be subject to imposition of penalty by the Income Tax Department
in relation to such litigations. Our Company has not made provision for such penalties as may be imposed in its
contingent liabilities as the amount of penalty which may be imposed is not quantifiable.

34. Our quality control department and quality control assurance and monitoring procedures may not identify
all defects, poor workmanship or non-conformities to client specifications, which could adversely affect
our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to the various certifications received by us, we have established a quality control department
comprising of engineers and support personnel with significant experience in the shipbuilding industry and we
intend to further strengthen this department. We have established a set of quality control assurance and monitoring
procedures applicable to every stage of the vessel construction process. Testing and sea trials are also expected to
be conducted prior to delivery of the vessel to our customers. However, there can be no assurances that our quality
control department and quality control assurance and monitoring procedures will identify all defects, poor
workmanship or non-conformities to our customers specifications in respect of vessels and Offshore Business
structures built by us. If our quality control department and quality control assurance and monitoring procedures
do not to identify certain defects, poor workmanship or non-conformity to our customers specifications, claims
arising from such defects, poor workmanship or non-conformities could be substantial. Such claims could also
adversely affect our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

35. Our Company has applied for registration of certain trademarks including our corporate logo in its name.
Until such registrations are granted, we may not be able to prevent unauthorised use of such trademarks
by third parties, which may lead to the dilution of our goodwill and adversely affect our business.

We have filed applications for registration of four trademarks including our corporate logo, under the Trademarks

32
Act, 1999 (Trademarks Act), which is currently pending approval from the Registrar of Trademarks. Our
applications for registration of three of these trademarks have received objections. Although all the clarifications
sought by the registration authority have been provided by us, there can be no assurance that our trademark
applications will be accepted and the trademarks will be registered. Pending the registration of these trademarks
we may have a lesser recourse to initiate legal proceedings to protect our private labels. However, we may have
to incur additional cost in relation to this. In the event we are not able to obtain registrations due to opposition by
third parties or if any injunctive or other adverse order is issued against us in respect of any of our trademarks for
which we have applied for registration, we may not be able to avail the legal protection or prevent unauthorised
use of such trademarks by third parties, which may adversely affect our goodwill and business.

For further details on the trademarks which are pending registration, see Government and Other Approvals on
page 271.

36. We are subject to risks arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in currency exchange rates may influence our results of operations. Globally, a substantial part of all
worldwide ship sales transactions and purchase of offshore structures is generally conducted in USD. While only
a small portion of our total revenue in the last three and half years was received by us in currencies other than the
Rupee, this proportion may increase in the future. 3.96%, 0.04 % and 5.42% and 10.14% of our total revenue for
shipbuilding for Fiscals 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the half year ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were
recognised on due basis by us in foreign exchange. In respect of ship-repair, only 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.04% and 0.00%
of our total revenue for Fiscals, 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the half year ended September 30, 2016, respectively,
were recognised on due basis by us in foreign exchange. Since a significant part of our costs are incurred in Rupee,
depreciation of Rupee versus USD and EUR will result in lower revenues in Rupee terms, which could adversely
affect our profitability.

We have a foreign exchange policy pursuant to which every contract net inflow of foreign exchange is hedged.
As and when outflows are incurred, the required foreign exchange is bought from market at the then prevailing
exchange rate.

However in the case of import components in respect of shipbuilding/ship repair contracts denominated in Rupee
terms, our Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risk unless the contract with the ship owner provides
for an exchange variation reimbursement clause.

Our future capital expenditures, including raw materials, equipment and machinery, may be denominated in
currencies other than Rupee. Therefore, declines in the value of the Rupee against the USD or other foreign
currencies would increase the Rupee cost of servicing and repaying those borrowings and their value in our
balance sheet. The exchange rates between Rupee and USD and between Rupee and EUR have changed
substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Although we may in the
future enter into hedging arrangements against currency exchange rate risks, there can be no assurance that these
arrangements will successfully protect us from losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

37. We have not independently verified certain data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

We have not independently verified data from the Report titled A study on shipbuilding and ship repairing
industry dated March 2017 prepared by CRISIL contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and although we
believe the sources mentioned in the report to be reliable, we cannot assure you that they are complete or reliable.

Such data may also be produced on a different basis from comparable information compiled with regards to other
countries. Therefore, discussions of matters relating to India, its economy or the industries in which we operate
that is included herein are subject to the caveat that the statistical and other data upon which such discussions are
based have not been verified by us and may be incomplete, inaccurate or unreliable. Due to incorrect or ineffective
data collection methods or discrepancies between published information and market practice and other problems,
the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced elsewhere and should not
be unduly relied upon. Further, we cannot assure you that they are stated or compiled on the same basis or with
the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.

38. One of the forms filed by us is not traceable and there are discrepancies in some of the forms filed by us
with the RoC.

33
We have been unable to locate one of the prescribed forms filed by us with the RoC in respect of the allotment of
Equity Shares on June 17, 1988. We have undertaken a RoC search to locate this form as well. While we believe
that we had filed this form with the RoC in a timely matter, we have not been able to obtain a copy of the form,
including from the RoC. We cannot assure you that we will be able to locate this form in the future or that we will
not be subject to any penalty imposed by the relevant regulatory authority in this matter.

Furthermore, there are discrepanices in some of our Form-2 filings with the RoC in the past. We cannot assure
you that we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the relevant authority in this matter.

39. We may fail to enhance our market position by failing to improve our research and development
capabilities, access new markets and develop new relationships which complement our existing business
operations which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

As part of our expansion strategy, we intend to enhance our market position through improving our research and
development capabilities and accessing new markets and relationships which complement our existing business
operations. The implementation of such expansion strategy is subject to a number of risks, including, but not
limited to the risks of:

failing to assimilate new technology required for building the new products identified;
failure of new equipment and facilities installed for the expansion;
experiencing difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals;
being adversely affected by changes in market conditions and demands;
experiencing the diversion of our managements time and attention from other business concerns; and
experiencing difficulties in retaining the key employees of who are essential to successfully managing those
businesses.
If any of these uncertainties materializes, it may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

40. Failure or delays in obtaining required certification from classification societies may cause delays in our
delivery schedules and disruptions in our business.

We are required to construct our vessels in accordance with contractual specifications and requirements and the
rules and regulations of the classification societies. Depending on the requirements of our customers, we need to
obtain certification from a particular classification society that is allowed to conduct statutory surveys on behalf
of the register of shipping subject to the latters authorisation for each vessel. The classification society may refuse
to allow us to use the certificate if we fail to resolve issues it raises. As a result, we may experience delays and
disruptions in our shipbuilding process which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

41. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on number of factors, including, our profit after tax
for the fiscal year, utilisation of the profit after tax towards reserves, our future expansion plans and capital
requirements, our financial condition, our cash flows and applicable taxes, including dividend distribution
tax payable by our Company, and the payments shall be subject to the CPSE Capital Restructuring
Guidelines.

Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on number of factors, including our profit after tax for the
fiscal year, utilisation of the profit after tax towards reserves, our future expansion plans and capital requirements,
our financial condition, our cash flows and applicable taxes, including dividend distribution tax payable by our
Company. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of
our Board and subsequent approval of shareholders and will depend on factors that our Board and shareholders
deem relevant. We may decide to retain all our earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business
and, therefore, may not declare dividends on our Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay
dividends in the future.

In accordance with the CPSE Capital Restructuring Guidelines, our Company is required to pay a minimal annual
dividend of 30% of its PAT or 5% of its net worth, whichever is higher, unless an exemption is provided in

34
accordance with this guideline. For further details, see Dividend Policy on page 161.

42. If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls and compliances our
business and reputation could be adversely affected.

We manage regulatory compliance by monitoring and evaluating our internal controls, and ensuring that we are
in compliance with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that
deficiencies in our internal controls and compliances will not arise, or that we will be able to implement, and
continue to maintain, adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls, in a
timely manner or at all. As we continue to grow, there can be no assurance that there will be no other instances of
such inadvertent non-compliances with statutory requirements, which may subject us to regulatory action,
including monetary penalties, which may adversely affect our business and reputation.

43. Invocation of refund guarantees by our customers could impact our results of operation and we may face
potential liabilities from lawsuits or claims by customers in the future.

Although there have not been any invocation of refund guarantees by our customers in the past, cancellation or
delays in accepting of orders by our clients may lead to invocation of refund guarantees.

Pursuant to the terms of our existing shipbuilding contracts, we are required to provide advance and progress
payment guarantees issued by a financial institution acceptable to our customers in respect of each instalment of
the contract price that is paid to us by our customers. If the customer rejects the vessel upon sea trial or the
contract is terminated by the customer under certain circumstances, the customer has the right to invoke such
refund guarantees and the entire amount that has been paid by the customer to us may become payable together
with interest. If the refund guarantees are invoked by a customer, we would be required to repay these amounts
to the financial institution which furnished such guarantees.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

44. Public companies in India, including us, are required to compute Income Tax under the Income
Computation and Disclosure Standards (the ICDS). The transition to ICDS in India is very recent and
we may be negatively affected by such transition.

The Ministry of Finance has issued a notification dated March 31, 2015 notifying ICDS which creates a new
framework for the computation of taxable income. Subsequently, the Ministry of Finance, through a press release
dated July 6, 2016, deferred the applicability of ICDS from April 1, 2015 to April 1, 2016 and is applicable from
Fiscal 2017 onwards and will have impact on computation of taxable income for Fiscal 2017 onwards. ICDS
deviates in several respects from concepts that are followed under general accounting standards, including Indian
GAAP and Ind AS. There can be no assurance that the adoption of ICDS will not adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

45. The GoI may implement a new national tax regime by imposing GST. We are unable to quantify the impact
of this development at this stage due to limited information available in the public domain. If we are taxed
at a higher rate than the current tax rates, our financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.

The GoI has proposed a comprehensive national goods and services tax (GST) regime that will combine taxes
and levies by the Central and State Governments into a unified rate structure. Although the legislative bill has
been passed by both houses of Parliament, we are unable to provide any assurance as to the exact date of when
GST is to be introduced or any other aspect of the tax regime following implementation of the GST. Further, any
disagreements between certain state governments may also create further uncertainty towards the implementation
of the GST. Any such future increases or amendments may affect the overall tax efficiency of companies operating
in India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.

46. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP,
Ind AS and IFRS, which may be material to investors assessments of our financial condition.

Our Company is required to prepare annual and interim financial statements under Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) from the current financial year as required under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with
Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated March 31, 2016. We have not attempted to quantify the impact

35
of US GAAP, Ind AS or IFRS 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, Ind AS or IFRS. US GAAP, Ind AS
and IFRS differ in significant respects from Indian GAAP. Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP
financial statements, which are restated as per SEBI ICDR Regulations included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the readers level of familiarity with
Indian accounting practices. 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. For further details, see
Significant Differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS on page 230.

47. The exit by the UK from the European Union has and could further impact global financial markets which
could in turn adversely affect the trading prices of our Equity Shares.

The exit by the UK from the European Union (EU) may impact the trading prices of our Equity Shares after
listing. As a result of the referendum held in the UK on June 23, 2016, which resulted in a vote in favour of the
exit from the EU, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility and may continue to
experience volatility. In addition, the UK and member countries in the EU may face increased economic and
financial volatility. Such economic and financial volatility may further impact global financial markets, which
may adversely affect the trading prices of our Equity Shares.

48. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the
Competition Act could in turn adversely affect our business.

The Competition Act was enacted for the purpose of preventing practices that have or are likely to have an adverse
effect on competition in India and has mandated the CCI to separate such practices. Under the Competition Act,
any arrangement, understanding or action, whether formal or informal, which causes or is likely to cause an
appreciable adverse effect on competition is void and attracts substantial penalties.

Further, any agreement among competitors which, directly or indirectly, involves determination of purchase or
sale prices, limits or controls production, or shares the market by way of geographical area or number of
subscribers in the relevant market is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect in the relevant market in India
and shall be void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. On March
4, 2011, the Central Government notified and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control)
provisions under the Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require acquisitions of
shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover
based thresholds to be mandatorily notified to, and pre-approved by, the CCI. Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the
CCI issued the Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction of Business Relating to
Combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended, which sets out the mechanism for implementation of the merger
control regime in India.

The Competition Act aims to, among other things, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an
appreciable adverse effect in India. Consequently, all agreements entered into by us could be within the purview
of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive
conduct or combination occurring outside of India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an appreciable
adverse effect in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered
into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. We are not currently party to any outstanding
proceedings, nor have we received notice in relation to non-compliance with the Competition Act or the
agreements entered into by us. However, if we are affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or
interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or
any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or
substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.

49. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws
and regulations, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by unfavourable changes in or
interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations applicable to our business and
operations.

There can be no assurance that the GoI may not implement new regulations and policies which will require us to

36
obtain approvals and licenses from the GoI or other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and
conditions on our business and operations. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the
implementation of the new regulations may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash
flows. In addition, we may have to incur capital expenditures to comply with the requirements of any new
regulations, which may also affect our results of operations and cash flows. See Regulations and Policies on
page 129 for details of the laws, rules and regulations currently applicable to us.

The regulatory and policy changes, including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition and prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and
comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy.

Further, the General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) are proposed to be effective from April 1, 2017. The tax
consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement could result in denial of tax benefits
among other consequences. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is
uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to our Company, it may have an adverse tax impact on us.

50. Our business is substantially affected by prevailing economic, political and others prevailing conditions in
India.

Our Company is incorporated in India, and almost all our assets and employees are located in India. As a result,
we are highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operations are significantly
affected by factors influencing the Indian economy. Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and
hence our results of operations, may include:

any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;

any exchange rate fluctuations;
any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse impact on economic conditions in
India and scarcity of financing of our developments and expansions;
prevailing income conditions among Indian consumers and Indian corporations;
volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, Indias principal stock exchanges;
changes in Indias tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies;
political instability, terrorism or military conflict in India or in countries in the region or globally, including
in Indias various neighbouring countries;
occurrence of natural or man-made disasters;
prevailing regional or global economic conditions, including in Indias principal export markets;
any downgrading of Indias debt rating by a domestic or international rating agency;
financial instability in financial markets; and
other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its natural gas sector.
Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy, could
adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition and the price of the Equity Shares.

51. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law
and thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under Section 62 of the Companies Act, a company incorporated in India must offer its equity shareholders pre-
emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages prior to issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived
by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution.

However, if the laws of the jurisdiction that you are in do not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights
without our filing an offering document or a registration statement with the applicable authority in such
jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights. If we elect not to file an offering document or
a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for your

37
benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of any such securities and the related transaction costs
cannot be predicted. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights available in respect of the
equity shares, your proportional interests in our Company may be reduced by the new equity shares that are issued
by our Company.

52. Natural disasters, acts of war, political unrest, epidemics, terrorist attacks or other events which are beyond
our control, may cause damage, loss or disruption to our business and have an adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

We generally bear the risk of loss of raw materials or equipment and components in transit after our suppliers ship
the supplies to us. We may face the risk of loss or damage to our properties, machinery and inventories due to
natural disasters, such as snow storms, typhoons and flooding. Acts of war, political unrest, epidemics and terrorist
attacks may also cause damage or disruption to us, our employees, our facilities and our markets, any of which
could materially and adversely affect our sales, costs, overall operating results and financial condition. The
potential for war or terrorist attacks may also cause uncertainty and cause our business to suffer in ways that we
cannot predict. In addition, certain Asian countries, including Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Thailand, have
encountered epidemics such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS and incidents of avian influenza, or
H5N1 bird flu. Past occurrences of epidemics have caused different degrees of damage to the national and local
economies in India. A recurrence of an outbreak of SARS, avian influenza or any other similar epidemic could
cause a slowdown in the levels of economic activity generally, which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In the event any loss exceeds our insurance coverage or is not covered by our
insurance policies, we will bear the shortfall. In such an event, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.

53. We are highly dependent on the growth of India and global trade activities for raw materials such as crude
oil, coal and iron ore.

The commercial shipbuilding industry has traditionally experienced fluctuations in freight and charter rates and
vessel values, depending on factors including the demand for, and supply of, shipping capacity, which in turn has
been largely influenced by global demands for, and supplies of raw materials such as crude oil, coal and iron ore.
Our product offerings are concentrated on IAC, FPVs, PSVs, barges and bulk carriers.

The price and supply of crude oil is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including
geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil-producing countries and regions, regional
production patterns and environmental concerns. As a result, an increase in the price of crude oil may adversely
affect our profitability. In the last decade, the prices for crude oil have been increasing as well as volatile. A
significant or sustained increase in the price of crude oil or reduction in supply could increase our operating
expenses and we may not be able to successfully pass on the costs to our customers and have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

As far as the commercial ships like bulk carriers and PSVs are concerned, it is expected that sustained economic
growth in the India and worldwide would create a growing demand for these raw materials, the prices and volumes
of which have largely determined the growth of the global shipping industry. The expected increase in demand
for crude oil in India and worldwide would necessitate further exploration of new reserves in deep seas, which
would in turn create a demand for offshore support vessels. We cannot assure you that the demand for raw
materials can be sustained or will continue to grow or will not decrease. A decrease in demand in India or globally
may cause a reduction in demand for the bulk carriers, and offshore support vessels which we build and this
decrease may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

54. Our costs may increase due to changes in regulations pertaining to the shipbuilding industry.

The shipbuilding industry is heavily regulated by both Indian and international regulations. Among other things,
the vessels we construct for our customers are required to meet the standards and requirements of the classification
society specified by our customer and the rules applicable to the type and size of vessels promulgated by the
relevant regulatory authorities that may comprise maritime authorities of the country of registry and of nations
which the vessel is likely to trade or transit through, such as the Panama and Suez canals. Furthermore,
construction of certain shipyard facilities is subject to approvals from the Indian government. Due to the rapid
expansion of our business, our existing licenses, permits, authorisations or approvals may not match our growth
and we may need to apply for new licenses, permits, authorisations or approvals. For example, we may need

38
goliath gantry cranes with lifting capacities higher than the existing ones at our shipyard for the construction of
large vessels or customized offshore engineering products. If we cannot obtain the requisite licenses, permits,
authorisations or approvals, we may not be able to construct such new gantry cranes or may be ordered to remove
any such existing facilities.

If Indian or international regulations applicable to the shipping industry become more stringent in the future or
additional regulations or controls requiring the adoption of new construction requirements are introduced that we
cannot satisfy in a cost efficient manner or we are unable to pass any additional costs resulting from these new
requirements to our customers, our costs will increase. Any significant increase in cost due to changes in
regulations in the shipbuilding industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

55. Any future issuance of our Equity Shares may dilute your shareholdings and sales of our Equity Shares
may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

Any future equity issuances by us may lead to the dilution of investors shareholdings in our Company. In addition,
any sales of substantial amounts of our Equity Shares in the public market after the completion of the Issue, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares and could
impair the future ability of our Company to raise capital through offerings of our Equity Shares. We also cannot
predict the effect, if any, that the sale of our Equity Shares or the availability of these Equity Shares for future sale
will have on the market price of our Equity Shares.

56. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law, which may adversely
affect the market price of our Equity Shares.

Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of equity shares between non-
residents and residents are permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with inter alia, the pricing
guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of equity shares is not in compliance
with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements, or falls under any of the prescribed exceptions, prior
approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Indian Rupee proceeds
from a sale of equity shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate any such foreign currency from India will
require a no-objection/tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that
any required approval from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained in a timely manner or on
any particular terms or at all. Owing to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in our Equity
Shares may be prevented from realising gains during periods of price increase or limiting their losses during
periods of price decline.

57. You will not be able to immediately sell any of our Equity Shares you purchase in the Issue on an Indian
Stock Exchange.

Our Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions must be
completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading may commence. Investor book entry, or demat
accounts, with depository participants in India are expected to be credited within two working days of the date on
which Allotment is approved by the designated stock exchange. Thereafter, upon receipt of final listing and trading
approval from the Stock Exchanges, trading in the Equity Shares is expected to commence within six Working
Days from the date of Bid/Issue closure.

We cannot assure you that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors demat accounts, or that trading in the
Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified above.

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

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of our Equity
Shares are generally taxable in India. Any gain realised 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 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 realised on the sale of equity shares held for more than 12 months, which are sold
other than on a recognised stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid to an Indian resident, will be
subject to long term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares held
for a period of 12 months or less which are sold other than on recognised stock exchanges and on which STT has

39
been paid, 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
Indias 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 our Equity Shares.

59. GoI will continue to control us post listing of our Equity Shares.

Upon the completion of this Issue, the GoI will hold approximately 101,952,000 Equity Shares, or approximately
75% of our post-Issue paid up equity share capital. Consequently, the President of India, acting through the
Ministry of Shipping, will continue to control us and will have the power to elect and remove our directors and
determine the outcome of most proposals for corporate action requiring approval of our Board or shareholders,
such as proposed five-year plans, revenue budgets, capital expenditure, dividend policy, transactions with other
GoI controlled companies. Under the Companies Act, this will continue to be a public sector undertaking which
is owned and controlled by the President of India. This may affect the decision making process in certain business
and strategic decisions taken by our Company going forward.

60. The interests of the GoI as our controlling shareholder may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Under our Articles of Association, the President of India, by virtue of holding a majority of our Equity Share
capital may issue directives with respect to the conduct of our business or our affairs for as long as we remain a
government company, as defined under the Companies Act. The interests of the President of India may be different
from our interests or the interests of other shareholders. As a result, the President of India may take actions with
respect to our business and the businesses of our peers and competitors that may not be in our or our other
shareholders best interests. The President of India could, by exercising its powers of control, delay or defer or
initiate a change of control of our Company or a change in our capital structure, delay or defer a merger,
consolidation, or discourage a merger with another public sector undertaking.

61. Announcements by the GoI or the Kerala Government relating to increased wages for government and
public sector employees will increase our expenses and may adversely affect our financial condition in the
years of implementation.

Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) only related to above has required government enterprises to
implement salary increases for employees below board level executives as determined by the respective boards
and management of the relevant government enterprises within a certain guideline set by the DPE. These
governmental measures increase our labour costs and the next pay revision for non-unionised officers and
employees was due w.e.f. January 1, 2017 and a revision of the wage settlement agreement with unionised
workmen w.e.f. April 1, 2017. Although no further directives have been received from the GoI in relation to this
and no wage negotiations have begun, any announcements by the GoI relating to increased wages for government
and public sector employees will increase our expenses and may adversely affect our operating results and
financial condition.

62. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against our Company.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of India. Our Companys Directors and Key Management Personnel
are residents of India and our assets are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to affect
service of process upon our Company or such persons in jurisdictions outside India, or to enforce against them
judgments obtained from courts outside India. India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in
civil and commercial matters with only a limited number of jurisdictions, which include the United Kingdom,
Singapore and Hong Kong. The United States has not been declared as a reciprocating territory for the purposes
of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Civil Code) and thus a judgment of a court outside India may be enforced
in India only by a suit and not by proceedings in execution. In order to be enforceable, a judgment from a
jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Civil Code. The Civil Code only permits the
enforcement of monetary decrees, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges,
fines or penalties and does not include arbitration awards. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money
rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the
general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be enforceable in India. Even if an investor obtained a
judgment in such a jurisdiction against us, our officers or directors, it may be required to institute a new proceeding
in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court. However, the party in whose favour such final judgment is
rendered may bring a fresh suit in a competent court in India, based on a final judgment that has been obtained in

40
a non-reciprocating territory, within three years of obtaining such final judgment. It is unlikely that an Indian court
would award damages on the same basis, or to the same extent, as was awarded in a final judgment rendered by a
court in another jurisdiction, if the Indian court believes that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or
inconsistent with public policy in India. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is
required to obtain prior approval of the RBI, to repatriate any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of the
judgment.

63. 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.

64. Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.

As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such
regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources for our projects and hence could constrain our ability to obtain
financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that any
required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign currencies will be granted to us without onerous conditions,
or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our business growth, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.

65. 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.

Pursuant to the SEBI 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 operation 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 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.

Global Shipping Industry

Seaborne Trade

According to a 2016 UNCTAD report, global seaborne trade increased by 2.1% to 10,048 million tonnes in 2015.
Dry bulk cargo comprised the largest share at 54%. Developing economies accounted for the largest share of
seaborne trade, in volume terms, at an estimated 60%. Developing countries have become global manufacturing
centres with growing demand for capital and consumer goods, and are no longer viewed as only suppliers of raw
materials. In terms of a regional comparison, Asia was the largest loading and unloading region, followed by the
Americas, Europe, Oceania and Africa. As of January 2016, the global commercial fleet stood at 90,917 vessels,
totalling 1.8 billion DWT. Dry bulk carriers comprised the largest share at 43.1% followed by the oil tanker
segment with a share of approximately 27.9%.

Fleet

The respective shares of oil tankers and general cargo vessels in the global fleet have declined over the years,
while those of dry bulk carriers and container ships have increased. As of January 2016, the dry bulk carriers, with
a 43% contribution in terms of gross registered tonnage (GRT), was the largest vessel category in the global fleet.
The share of oil tankers, which made up for 50% of the global fleet in 1980, has declined to 28% in 2016. Over
this period, the share of container vessels increased from 2% to 14%, following Chinas manufacturing-led
growth as well as the shipping industrys strategy to reduce costs using economies of scale. The fall in the oil
tanker share was due to a change in the pattern of trade and demand, primarily due to a decline in the refining
capacity in Europe and a corresponding increase in Asia and the Middle East.

43
Indian Shipping Industry

Fleet

The Indian commercial fleet saw an addition of 42 vessels with approximately 0.2 million GRT in 2015. In 2015,
Indias total fleet strength was 1,246 vessels with a GRT of 10.51 million. The majority of the Indian fleet is
deployed for costal trade, with approximately 70% of the registered vessels used for coastal trade, while the
remaining 373 vessels are engaged in overseas trade. However, in tonnage terms, the fleet deployed for coastal
trade is approximately 1.5 million GRT, while that for overseas trade is approximately 9 million GRT.

In terms of GRT, more than half of the fleets tonnage is accounted for by oil tankers. Over the past decade, oil
tankers have continued to account for a majority share.

According to the Indian Ministry of Shipping, the total overseas cargo handled at Indian ports was approximately
879.6 million tonnes in 2014-15. The vessels carrying Indian flags contributed approximately 7.5% of overseas
cargo tonnage. Even as the total overseas cargo handled at Indian ports increased, the contribution of vessels
carrying Indian flags in terms of tonnage declined in absolute terms as well as in percentage terms. Meanwhile,
ships above the age of 20 years comprised over 40% of the Indian fleet, as ship owners preferred to maintain the
existing fleet due to uncertainty in global trade. However, approximately 20% of the ships in the Indian fleet are
below the age of five years, indicating that new vessels have been added during the recent past.

 SUMMARY OF BUSINESS
Overview

We are the largest public sector shipyard in India in terms of dock capacity, as of March 31, 2015, according to
the CRISIL Report. We cater to clients engaged in the defence sector in India and clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide. In addition to shipbuilding and ship repair, we also offer marine engineering
training.

As of January 31, 2017, we have two docks dock number one, primarily used for ship repair (Ship Repair
Dock) and dock number two, primarily used for shipbuilding (Shipbuilding Dock). Our Ship Repair Dock is
one of the largest in India and enables us to accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT
(Source: CRISIL Report). Our Shipbuilding Dock can accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 110,000
DWT (Source: CRISIL Report).

We are in the process of constructing a new dock, a stepped dry dock (Dry Dock). This stepped dock will
enable longer vessels to fill the length of the dock and wider, shorter vessels and rigs to be built or repaired at the
wider part. We are also in the process of setting up an International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF), which includes
setting up a shiplift and transfer system.

In the last two decades, we have built and delivered vessels across broad classifications including bulk carriers,
tankers, Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTSs), barges, bollard
pull tugs, passenger vessels and Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs). We are currently building India's first Indigenous
Aircraft Carrier (IAC) for the Indian Navy. We have also grown our ship repair operations and are the only
commercial shipyard to have undertaken repair work of Indian Navy's aircraft carriers, the INS Viraat and INS
Vikramaditya.

Our diversified offerings to the Indian clients engaged in the defence sector and to clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide have allowed us to successfully adapt to the cyclical fluctuations of our industry.
Over the last five Fiscals, the break-down of our average operating revenues is set out below:

Clients engaged in the

Activity Commercial clients
defence sector
Shipbuilding 64.74% 20.60%
Ship repair 7.46% 6.70%
Other operating revenue 0.47% 0.03%

Our current shipbuilding order book includes Phase-II of the IAC for the Indian Navy, two 500 passenger cum
150 ton cargo vessels and two 1,200 passenger cum 1,000 ton cargo vessels for the Andaman and Nicobar
Administration (A&N Administration), two Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) vessels for the Kochi Municipal
Corporation and a vessel for one of the Government of India's (GoI) projects. Our current ship repair order
book includes vessels from our key clients.

We recently delivered a large deck cargo cum launch barge to the National Petroleum Construction Company,
Abu Dhabi (NPCC) and the last FPV (in a series of 20) to the Indian Coast Guard.

We are a wholly-owned GoI company, incorporated on March 29, 1972 and were conferred the 'Miniratna' status
in 2008, by the Department of Public Enterprises, GoI. Our shipyard is strategically located along the west coast
of India, midway on the main sea route connecting Europe, West Asia and the Pacific Rim, a busy international
maritime route. In addition, our shipyard is located close to the Kochi port as well as to offshore oil fields on the
western coast of India and relatively close to the Middle East.

We commenced our operations in 1975 and have over four decades of experience in shipbuilding. We have in
the past delivered two of Indias largest double hull oil tankers, each of 92,000 DWT (Source: CRISIL Report)
to the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI). Over the years, we have successfully responded to fluctuations in
the shipbuilding requirements of the markets we operate in and have evolved from building bulk carriers to
building smaller and more technically sophisticated vessels such as PSVs and AHTSs. We have worked with
several leading technology firms in our industry including Rolls Royce Marine (Norway), and GTT (Gaztransport
& Technigaz) SA (GTT). We believe this has added to our credibility in the international markets. Our key
shipbuilding clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard and the SCI. We have also exported 45

45
ships to various commercial clients outside India such as NPCC, the Clipper Group (Bahamas) and Vroon
Offshore (Netherlands) and SIGBA AS (Norway).

We began our ship repair operations in 1978 and have undertaken repairs of various types of vessels including
upgradation of ships of the oil exploration industry as well as periodical maintenance, repairs and life extension
of ships. Our shipyard has, over the years, developed capabilities to handle various repair jobs. We have entered
into MoUs with various clients including with the Lakshadweep Development Corporation Limited (LDCL),
Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships (DGLL) and the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI)
giving us the opportunity to undertake ship repair work for these organisations on a bulk volume basis. Our key
ship repair clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, SCI, the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC) and DCI. We have also partnered with Techcross Inc. for technical support, engineering, service
support and sharing of information in relation to the Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) products.

Our Marine Engineering Training Institute at Kochi began in 1993, where we conduct marine engineering training
programs. These programs are approved by Director General of Shipping (DGS), GoI. We also operate a
material testing laboratory, which was established in 1972. Our material testing laboratory has been accredited
by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and is one of the leading
laboratories in Kerala in the field of chemical, mechanical and non-destructive testing of various materials
including metals, welds and alloys.

We have several certifications including the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2004 -
Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management
System. Our listed debentures have been rated AA+ by since 2014 by various agencies including India Ratings
and Research Private Limited (IRRPL) and CARE. We were also adjudged the Shipbuilding Company of the
Year in 2015 by the Gateway Awards. For further details of awards we have received, see History and Certain
Corporate Matters Awards and Recognition on page 136.

Our Company has posted profits continuously in the last five Fiscals. Our total revenues and PAT has increased
from `14,737.01 million and `1,553.28 million respectively, in Fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29
million, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25% and 16.47%, respectively. For the half year ended
September 30, 2016, our total revenues and PAT were `10,274.61 million and `1,845.24 million, respectively.

Competitive Strengths

We believe we benefit from a number of strengths that together differentiate us from our competitors:

One of India's leading public-sector shipyards catering to both commercial clients as well as clients engaged
in the defence sector with a multitude of offerings for a broad range of vessels across life cycles

We are the largest public sector shipyard in India in terms of dock capacity, as of March 31, 2015, according to
the CRISIL Report. We have catered to both commercial clients and clients engaged in the defence sector
evidenced by our revenues from shipbuilding and ship repair operations in recent Fiscals as set our below:

(in ` million)
Activity Fiscal 2014 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2016
Shipbuilding
Clients engaged in the defence sector 14,572.34 12,338.08 15,053.09
Commercial Clients 991.63 1,331.69 1,179.35
Total 15,563.97 13,669.77 16,232.44
Ship repair
Clients engaged in the defence sector 1,062.48 536.78 2,818.33
Commercial Clients 1,224.03 1,440.92 822.21
Total 2,286.51 1,977.70 3,640.54
Grand Total 17,850.48 15,647.47 19,872.98

Shipbuilding for clients engaged in the defence sector is complex and time-consuming, whereas commercial
shipbuilding, while relatively less complex, is subject to business cycles. Catering to both commercial clients and
clients engaged in the defence sector has helped us to address these issues relatively better. We are currently
building India's first IAC for the Indian Navy and have recently delivered the last FPV (in a series of 20) to the

46
Indian Coast Guard prior to the delivery date. We have also built two of Indias largest double hull oil tankers,
each of 92,000 DWT (Source: CRISIL Report) for SCI and recently delivered a large deck cargo cum jacket
launch barge for NPCC.

In addition to shipbuilding, we also undertake ship repair for the Indian Navy and repaired about 15 Indian Naval
Ships, on an average in the Fiscals 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively where our scope of work varied from
normal wear and tear to complex repairs. We also recently completed refits of INS Aditya, INS Sukanya, INS
Shardul, INS Viraat and INS Vikramaditya for the Indian Navy. We have also undertaken major revamping and
refurbishing of oil rigs involving steel renewal, up-gradation of drilling, cementing, mechanical, HVAC and
piping systems in almost all the major offshore vessels and rigs of ONGC.

Our top customers include the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard. These top two customers together
accounted for 87.69%, 82.46%, 89.94% and 73.16% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2014, 2015, 2016
and the half year ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Indian Navy has praised us for our high production
standards, quality construction and timely delivery. (Source: https://www.indiannavy.nic.in/content/vikrant-
navys-first-indigenous-aircraft-carrier-launched)

Our Marine Engineering Training Institute began in 1993 and we facilitate the DGS approved GME residential
course for mechanical and naval architect engineering graduates. We also have a NABL accredited material testing
laboratory.

We believe that our diverse experience and multiple offerings put us in a good position to benefit from the recent
Make in India initiative introduced by the GoI pursuant to which a steady pipeline of future orders and
opportunities is expected from Indian clients engaged in the defence sector as well as the Indian PSUs.

Modern facilities and infrastructure and integrated capabilities to deliver quality products and services

We believe that the state of the art infrastructure and facilities available at our shipyard combined with our vast
expertise give us a significant edge over our domestic peers. While our proposed Dry Dock project will be set up
on our existing shipyard premises, the ISRF will be set up on land near our shipyard leased from the Cochin Port
Trust (CoPT). We believe that our modern facilities and infrastructure and integrated capabilities have helped
us built a strong reputation for quality and timely delivery over decades of doing business with both our Indian
and international clients.

Our integrated shipbuilding infrastructure at the shipyard allows us to undertake structural, machinery and
electrical design and to prepare detailed production engineering drawings. During the shipbuilding design process
3D hull, piping and electrical models are created, ensuring optimum, error free ship designs. Inputs for various
NC equipment are also generated on these systems. Quay III, which is used for shipbuilding, has a length of 630m
and has two LLTT cranes with capacities of 40T and 20T, respectively.

Our ship repair facilities include our Ship Repair Dock measuring 270m x 45m x 12m that enables us to undertake
the repair of vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT. Our shipyard currently has one of the largest
ship repair capacities among the Indian public sector shipyards (Source: CRISIL Report). Additionally, we have
two quays, Quay I with a length of 290m and a 15T cranage and Quay II with a length of 208m and a 10T cranage.
Both quays have LLTT cranes.

Order book with a strong customer base of reputable ship owners and marquee clients

Shipbuilding

We have built a variety of vessels ranging from bulk carriers, tankers and passengers ships to offshore support
vessels and port crafts. In the last five years, we have built and delivered over 35 vessels to clients worldwide.
We have built and repaired vessels and provided other offshore project services to some of the biggest corporates,
both in India and globally. Our Indian clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, SCI, ONGC,
DGLL and DCI. Our key foreign clients include NPCC, the Clipper Group, Vroon and SIGBA AS.

We are currently building India's first IAC for the Indian Navy. We are also currently constructing two 500
passenger cum 150 ton cargo vessels and two 1200 passenger cum1000 ton cargo vessels for the A&N
Administration, two Ro-Ro vessels for the Kochi Municipal Corporation and a vessel for one of GoI's projects.

47
Ship repair

We commenced ship repair operations in 1978 and have, over the years, developed adequate capabilities to handle
complex and sophisticated repair jobs. We have also entered into special MoU arrangements to enhance our ship
repair business. For example, we repaired LDCL and DCI vessels under our respective MoUs with them.

In Fiscal 2016, major repair works for commercial clients included work on the GTV Samudra Sarvekshak and
the WSV Samudhra Nidhi for SCI, and on the Dredge VIII and Dredge XIX for the DCI and MV Kavaratti for
LDCL. In the last Fiscal, we believe our docks were running at full capacity due to which we had to turn away
certain new requests.

Competitive cost structure and efficient operations

We believe that we offer our clients competitive cost structures for their shipbuilding and ship repair needs. We
have implemented measures to help ensure that our operations run efficiently. We seek to achieve optimum
utilisation of our full capacity through effective production planning and scheduling and have delivered or are in
the process of delivering all the vessels we have contracted for, including in certain cases, delivery ahead of
schedule such as some of the FPVs for the Indian Coast Guard and deck cargo cum launch barge for NPCC. In
some cases where we were able to deliver the vessels ahead of schedule to our customers, we were able to secure
additional bonuses over and above the cost of the ship including from the Clipper Group as well as repeat orders
from satisfied clients. We are committed to the timely delivery of vessels and place great emphasis on the quality
of our construction. This helps to minimise the need to undertake rectification works for defects or non-
compliance with our customers specifications, and reduces our exposure to liquidated and other damages under
our shipbuilding contracts.

We believe we have achieved further cost savings through our cost management activities. We operate an efficient
system of sub-contracting which aids multiple repair projects and production planning. For example, rather than
maintaining a large number of full time employees, we employ a significant number of contract labour workers,
enabling us to keep the size of our workforce flexible based on our requirements. As of January 31, 2017, we had
1,836 full time employees, one employee on deputation from other government organisations and 589 contract
employees. As of January 31, 2017, we also employed a minimum of 2,597 sub-contract workers on a daily basis.
We also seek to manage the cost of the engines and other equipment used in our vessels by obtaining quotes from
our approved vendors and the cost of our raw materials and components through the selection of suppliers and
subcontractors based on several criteria, including the pricing and the quality of their products and reliability of
their services. Generally, we avoid buying from intermediaries and prefer to deal directly with manufacturers so
as to form long-term relationships with these manufacturers, and wherever possible, obtain better pricing terms.

Our shipyard is strategically located along the west coast of India, on the main sea route connecting the Persian
Gulf to Asia, and is approximately 610 nautical miles from Mumbai, a busy international maritime route that is
conveniently located for ships travelling on this route in need of repair. In addition, our shipyard is located close
to the offshore oil fields on the western coast of India and relatively close to the Middle East, which we believe,
will be an advantage in tapping the offshore rig market. Due to our shipyard's proximity to the Kochi port, we
are well-positioned to benefit from the ports infrastructure facilities such as its approach channel and navigation
facilities.

Led by a dedicated board, long serving and experienced senior management backed by a strong pool of
experienced professionals

We are one of India's leading shipyards, making us an employer of choice and providing a better incentive to our
management to continue to pursue excellence in our businesses. Each of our key management staff has, on
average, more than 25 years of experience in the industry and has been with our Company for an average of two
decades. Some of our senior management have grown within our organisation from trainee positions to head their
respective departments. We believe that our organisational culture and experienced board and senior management
have been instrumental in helping us achieve a low cost structure, continuous profit margins, efficient operations,
short delivery schedules, relatively lower attrition and fewer employee disputes.

We have a large pool of experienced naval architects, engineers and draftsmen. We believe that our employees
are instrumental to our success including for the quality of our products and services and our ability to operate in
a cost-efficient manner. We focus on the overall development of our employees through the implementation of
training programmes to enhance employee loyalty, reduce attrition rates, improve skills and service standards and

48
increase productivity. For example, we provide regular in-house training for our employees such as skill
development programs for various specialised tasks. We also have a MoU with Cochin University of Science and
Technology (CUSAT) that provides two seats for their M. Tech degree course in marine engineering annually
for executives or officers sponsored by us.

Continuous profits leading to robust financial performance

We are a profitable and dividend paying shipyard. Our Company has posted profits continuously in the last five
Fiscals. Our total revenues, and PAT have increased from `14,737.01 million and `1,553.28 million, respectively,
in fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29 million, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25%,
and 16.47%, respectively. For the half year ended September 30, 2016, our total revenues and PAT were
`10,274.61 million and `1,845.24 million respectively. Additionally, we have continuously delivered positive
RoE margins over the last four Fiscals.

We paid dividends to our shareholders at rates of 15%, 15%, 15%, 15% and 76.50% in Fiscals 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015 and 2016. Our strong liquidity position in terms of total cash of ` 21,191.54 million as of January 31, 2017,
enables us to continue to stay invested in our business and to consistently pay our suppliers on time and benefit
from supplier goodwill.

The strength of our balance sheet in terms of liquidity and indebtedness provides us with a number of competitive
advantages, such as lower finance costs and better financial terms for our future borrowing needs. As of January
31, 2017, we had fund based indebtedness in the form of tax free infrastructure bonds amounting to `1,230.00
million (excluding interest due on these bonds). Apart from this, our Company had availed of non-fund based
facilities of `1,009.89 million and USD26.46 million. Our listed debentures has been rated AA+ since 2014 by
various agencies including IRRPL and CARE.

Our Strategies

Our objective is to enhance our market position by expanding our capabilities, capitalising on opportunities both
in domestic and international markets in our industry and to enhance our competitiveness. Our business strategies
are:

Expand our capabilities through our proposed Dry Dock and International Ship Repair Facility

We are in the process of developing our Dry Dock and ISRF. Once developed, we believe that these new
facilities will expand our existing capabilities significantly and help us build and repair a broader variety of
vessels including new generation aircraft carriers and oil rigs, which are expected to be key growth drivers in
the short to near long term. The process of setting up an ISRF will allow us to undertake repair of a broader
range of vessels.

Dry Dock

In addition to our existing dock, we are in the process of building a Dry Dock at a total estimated cost of `17,989.91
million. The length of the Dry Dock will be greater than the length of our existing docks. The larger size of our
proposed Dry Dock will enable us to build and repair ships of higher capacity and large naval vessels such as
aircraft carriers. Further, the greater width of our Dry Dock will also enable us to undertake building and repair
of rigs, within our shipyard.

In relation to our proposed Dry Dock, HaskoningDHV India Private Ltd has prepared a Detailed Project Report
dated October 5, 2016. We have also completed the Environmental Impact Assessment study and have obtained
environmental clearance from the MoEFCC. The environmental clearance is subject to certain conditions
including obtaining prior clearance of the wildlife from the standing committee of the National Wildlife Board.
For more details, see Risk Factors The environmental clearance for our new Dry Dock is subject to the final
order in the matter of Goa Foundation v. Union of India and amongst others, the prior clearance of the Standing
Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 269 and see Governmental and Other Approvals on
page 271.

ISRF

We entered into an agreement for development and operation of an international ship repair facility dated

49
December 24, 2012 with Cochin Port Trust under which we are in process of setting up an ISRF which inter-alia
contains provisions for liquidated damages, indemnity and termination. For the ISRF, we have leased
approximately 8.12 hectares of land and 15 hectares of water body from CoPT, including their existing ship-repair
facility, for a period of 30 years pursuant to the lease deed dated April 12, 2013. Since then, we have begun using
the existing dry dock and allied facilities in the leased area for carrying out ship repair in a limited way.

The ISRF will comprise of a ship-lift, transfer system and allied facilities to be built at an estimated investment
of ` 9,694.1 million. We have appointed a consortium of Inros Lackner SE and Tata Consulting Engineers Limited
as project consultants. A detailed project report was prepared by the project consultants and received the GoI
approval on May 19, 2016. The Expert Appraisal Committee has already recommended for environmental
clearance for the project from the MoEFCC.

Build a strong order book by bidding vigorously for projects to be awarded by the Indian PSUs and defence
sector pursuant to Make in India initiative

We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the recent Make in India initiative pursuant to which the GoI
is keen to encourage defence manufacturing in India. Policy initiatives such as granting infrastructure status to
shipbuilding, granting right of first refusal to Indian shipyards for shipbuilding and ship repair work of the Indian
PSUs and support through the new financial assistance scheme are expected to provide a steady pipeline of orders
and become key drivers of growth.

Our proposed Dry Dock and ISRF will increase our ability to build, repair and service a broader range of vessels
including vessels of larger capacities. As we are one of the very few commercial shipyards to have won defence
orders from the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard in the past, and have been able to deliver successfully
on these mandates, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of future orders placed by the Indian
Navy and other Indian PSUs. We believe that we have an advantage over other defence PSUs, as they currently
do not have the capacity to construct certain types of ships especially those of bigger dimensions such as the IAC.

The GoI also plans to promote inland water transportation and coastal shipping. We believe that this will present
several opportunities including building high speed ferry crafts, dredgers, ropax vessels and large capacity
passenger ships. This will create demand for shipbuilding and ship repair services, which we believe we are well
equipped to deliver. For example, we have recently bid in respect of a tender by Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers
Ltd (HDPEL), a GoI enterprise, for the upgradation, operation, maintenance and management of two of its
shipyards at Salkia and Nazirgunge located at Howrah, West Bengal.

Continue to enhance our construction quality and delivery time and enhance our price competitiveness in
order to increase our market share

We believe that our emphasis on quality of construction and timely delivery has been a key factor in our ability
to attract new customers and to retain our existing customers. For example, we recently delivered seven FPVs for
the Indian Coast Guard ahead of the contractual delivery schedule. The final FPV (in a series of 20) was delivered
on December 30, 2016, ahead of the scheduled delivery date of March, 2017. We believe that we are achieving
the highest standards in India across in many areas of shipbuilding, such as plate preparation and cutting
processes, block fabrication, hull erection, outfitting, design and engineering, sourcing, procurement, and project
management.

Furthermore, with the rising production cost globally, we believe there will be greater demand for offshore
support vessels and other commercial vessels that are built by shipyards with a competitive cost structure and
which can offer vessels at competitive prices. With our in-house fabrication workshops, we intend to continue to
develop in-house capabilities in various manufacturing processes, thereby enabling us to lower our costs of
production and maintain our price competitiveness. We also believe our operations will benefit from our business
partnerships with firms like GTT.

We believe that continuing to enhance our production planning and sequencing processes and inventory
management will also help us to maintain our cost competitiveness and further reduce the construction period of
ships.

Strengthen our market leadership by continuously adding upgraded and new vessel models to our offerings
and expanding customer services

50
Leveraging our experience in building other vessels, we plan to expand our product offerings. We believe that
we are strong contenders for building the next aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy, due to our unique experience
in constructing such vessels. With this experience we will also be able to bid for other defence projects.
Furthermore, we believe that we are well-positioned to pitch for opportunities in the rig building and repair
business owing to our proximity to offshore locations.

With the construction of our proposed Dry Dock and ISRF, we will also be able to build and repair new vessel
models. We are well-positioned to follow the latest domestic and international standards for our new offerings.
We also plan to expand our operations to cover the entire life cycle of a broader range of vessels.

Continue to leverage our market position and our relationships with customers, suppliers and other business
partners to support our growth and improve our competitiveness

We plan to use our leading position in the Indian shipbuilding and ship repair industry to develop new relationships
with banks, suppliers, universities and colleges, technical schools, classification societies, ship design institutes,
as well as companies in upstream and downstream, oil and offshore services industries, and to create a favorable
environment for our sustainable development.

We plan to further strengthen our long-term cooperation with well-known universities, such as CUSAT, to jointly
provide training, carry out research and development, and develop a potential workforce to support our future
growth. We have also set up a section for the preparation of basic designs to enhance our design capabilities and
to cater to future design requirements.

We believe that these initiatives will also help us in attracting the best talent to Kochi by creating a network of
shipbuilding and ship repair experts and helping Kochi to become as an important center for shipping and related
businesses.

A. Setting up of Dry Dock
Our Company proposes to set up a Dry Dock, to augment its shipbuilding/ ship repair capacity essentially required
to tap the market potential of building specialized and technologically advanced large vessels such as Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) vessels, indigenous aircraft carriers of higher capacity, jack up rigs, drill ships, large
dredgers and repairing of offshore platforms and larger vessels. The Dry Dock shall be located at the northern end
of the existing site premises of our Company and accordingly there will be no additional cost, in relation to
lease/purchase of land, for setting up the new Dry Dock. For further details of our property, see Our Business
on page 114.
HaskoningDHV India Private Limited (Dry Dock Project Consultant) has prepared a detailed project report
dated October 5, 2016 (DD DPR) for setting up of a new dry dock within our Companys premises.
The Dry Dock is proposed to be a stepped dock with a minimum clear length of 310 metre, width of 75 metre at

79
the wider part, and width of 60 metre at the narrower part. The dock depth would be 13 metre with a draught of
up to 9.5 metre. This stepped dock is proposed to be used for enabling longer vessels to fill the length of the Dry
Dock and wider, shorter vessels and maritime equipment such as rigs to be constructed or repaired at the wider
part of the Dry Dock.
The cost of development of the Dry Dock was estimated by the Dry Dock Project Consultant to be US$ 265.23
million. (`17,989.91 million, based on a conversion rate of `67.83 for one US$, as on February 6, 2016). This
estimate includes the civil, mechanical, electrical, allied services and equipment associated with the Dry Dock.

The breakdown of the cost estimate as on February 2016 is as follows:

7 Contingency at 3% 6.87
Total 265.23

The estimate is accurate within +/- 25.00% at DD DPR stage and includes contingency value for unforeseen items
or items of risk. The estimate excludes buildings that are not included within the scope of the Dry Dock Project
Consultant. The Dry Dock Project Consultant has assumed that there shall be no further cost in relation to any
ground improvement or piling with reference to the civil and structural work other than the dry dock area and
grand assembly area. Furthermore, the additional goliath gantry crane is optional and its cost is based on the
budget cost that is provided by a European supplier and a Korean supplier. Moreover, taxes are included in the
above stated estimates within +/-25.00% accuracy.
For details of the government and other approvals in relation to setting up of the Dry Dock, see Government and
Other Approvals on page 271. Further, the DD DPR mentions certain risks applicable to our Company in relation
to setting up of the Dry Dock. For further details on certain risks disclosed in the DD DPR, see Risk Factors

81
carries out shift work to increase the time to task. The critical part of the construction phase is the main dock wall
construction, temporary entrance cofferdam and the excavation of the dock, piling work, underground substations
and pump room. It is to be noted that these constructions are also dependant on weather and the contractor will be
required to use regular and efficient methods for transporting the excavated material off-site, after which the
construction of pump house including the fitting of mechanical, electrical and control systems shall follow.
B. Setting up of ISRF
A consortium of Inros Lackner SE and Tata Consulting Engineers Limited (ISRF Project Consultant) has
prepared a detailed project report dated May 21, 2015 (ISRF DPR) for setting up of ISRF.
The ISRF project shall be established on 16.90 hectare of land and about 15.6 hectare of water area. Our Company
has leased 8.12 hectare of land and 15 hectare or thereabout of adjoining water body from Cochin Port Trust vide
the lease deed dated April 12, 2013 for a period of 30 years. For further details of the lease and certain risks in

The ISRF envisages the construction of a ship lift for vessels, a transfer system, six work stations, approximately
eight afloat berths (depending on the availability and size of vessels for repair), jetties, administrative buildings
and allied facilities and upgradation of the existing workshops. The envisaged ship lift would be designed for
vessels up to a length of 130 metre with a lifting capacity of 6,000 tonnes. The cost of development of the ISRF,
including the main technological equipment required for shipyard repair process, was estimated by the ISRF
Project Consultant to be ` 9,694.1 million. The estimated capital construction costs are based on the price that is
applicable to the date of submission of the ISRF DPR on May 21, 2015 along with a price escalation which is
considered up to December 2016.
The ISRF DPR estimated the capital cost in relation to the construction of ship lift, seaside, landside, mechanical
and electrical work and technological equipment for the ISRF in the premises of Willingdon Island, Cochin Port
Trust, Kochi. The breakdown of the capital cost estimate, in the ISRF DPR, is as follows:

The estimated maximum demand of power for the existing dry dock and the proposed ISRF is 4,849kVA. To cater
to this power requirement, several electrical facilities such as 11kV receiving yard, 11kV indoor switchgear, 11kV
HV cabling system, LV cabling system, distribution transformer, LT panels of 440V (60Hz), 415V (50Hz) and
380V (50Hz), 110V (50Hz) and 24V (50Hz), APFC panels, frequency converter, indoor and outdoor lighting
system, earthing and lightning protection system, static UPS system, DC system and FDAS system are required
to be installed.
5. Technological equipment and ship lift
The detailed breakdown of the cost, is as set forth below:

Sr. No. Particulars Amount (in ` million)

1. Various workshops proposed at ISRF 162.5
2. Ship lift/ transfer system/work stations/ dry dock/ jetties 2,296.6
3. Transport equipment 26.5
4. Cost for delivery, installation, commissioning and training 249.2
5. Blacksmith / Foundry 2.0
6. Blasting and Painting Works, Final Coating 4.1

The requirements of the ship repair production areas are calculated on the final annual repair throughput of 84
vessels. The ISRF DPR assumes that the ISRF shall work independently and autonomously from the workshops
of the main yard. Therefore, necessary workshops are planned and determined, in the ISRF DPR, to achieve the
full repair capacity. The aforesaid workshops include pipe shop/ boiler shop, electrical and electronic shop, steel

84
fabrication/ locksmith shop, engine repair shop, carpentry and sawing shed, rigger shop as well as the maintenance
and service workshop.
Further, since the material handling equipment is crucial, transport operations are one of the key processes at ship
repair facilities. The number of cranes as well as the type and number of suitable forklifts and trucks are essential
for the effectiveness of the ship repair and have been accordingly factored in the ISRF DPR.
C. General corporate purposes

Global Shipping Industry

Seaborne Trade

According to a 2016 UNCTAD report, global seaborne trade increased by 2.1% to 10,048 million tonnes in 2015.
Dry bulk cargo comprised the largest share at 54%. Developing economies accounted for the largest share of
seaborne trade, in volume terms, at an estimated 60%. Developing countries have become global manufacturing
centres with growing demand for capital and consumer goods, and are no longer viewed as only suppliers of raw
materials. In terms of a regional comparison, Asia was the largest loading and unloading region, followed by the
Americas, Europe, Oceania and Africa. As of January 2016, the global commercial fleet stood at 90,917 vessels,
totalling 1.8 billion DWT. Dry bulk carriers comprised the largest share at 43.1% followed by the oil tanker
segment with a share of approximately 27.9%.

Fleet

The respective shares of oil tankers and general cargo vessels in the global fleet have declined over the years,
while those of dry bulk carriers and container ships have increased. As of January 2016, the dry bulk carriers, with
a 43% contribution in terms of gross registered tonnage (GRT), was the largest vessel category in the global fleet.
The share of oil tankers, which made up for 50% of the global fleet in 1980, has declined to 28% in 2016. Over
this period, the share of container vessels increased from 2% to 14%, following Chinas manufacturing-led
growth as well as the shipping industrys strategy to reduce costs using economies of scale. The fall in the oil

94
tanker share was due to a change in the pattern of trade and demand, primarily due to a decline in the refining
capacity in Europe and a corresponding increase in Asia and the Middle East.

Indian Shipping Industry

Fleet

The Indian commercial fleet saw an addition of 42 vessels with approximately 0.2 million GRT in 2015. In 2015,
Indias total fleet strength was 1,246 vessels with a GRT of 10.51 million. The majority of the Indian fleet is
deployed for costal trade, with approximately 70% of the registered vessels used for coastal trade, while the
remaining 373 vessels are engaged in overseas trade. However, in tonnage terms, the fleet deployed for coastal
trade is approximately 1.5 million GRT, while that for overseas trade is approximately 9 million GRT.

In terms of GRT, more than half of the fleets tonnage is accounted for by oil tankers. Over the past decade, oil
tankers have continued to account for a majority share.

According to the Indian Ministry of Shipping, the total overseas cargo handled at Indian ports was approximately
879.6 million tonnes in 2014-15. The vessels carrying Indian flags contributed approximately 7.5% of overseas
cargo tonnage. Even as the total overseas cargo handled at Indian ports increased, the contribution of vessels
carrying Indian flags in terms of tonnage declined in absolute terms as well as in percentage terms. Meanwhile,
ships above the age of 20 years comprised over 40% of the Indian fleet, as ship owners preferred to maintain the
existing fleet due to uncertainty in global trade. However, approximately 20% of the ships in the Indian fleet are
below the age of five years, indicating that new vessels have been added during the recent past.

95
Global Shipbuilding Industry

The shipbuilding industry comprises construction and modification of ships, offshore vessels, rigs, liquefied
natural gas (LNG) carriers and vessels for clients engaged in the defence sector. The broad categories of ships
built are passenger carriers, offshore vessels, dry bulk carriers, tankers (including LNG carriers), container ships
and vessels for clients engaged in the defence sector. On average, it takes 15-18 months to build a conventional
vessel, i.e. a bulk carrier, tanker or container ship, and 28-32 months to construct a LNG vessel, and offshore rig
and support vessel.

Over the past few decades, the shipbuilding industry has shifted from Europe to Asia due to a number of factors
including, cheap labour, competitive manufacturing and steel-making sectors, and state support.

Following factors have enabled China, the Republic of Korea and Japan to dominate the shipbuilding industry:

Typically, a shipyard requires a working capital of approximately 25-35% of the cost of the ship during the
entire construction period. The interest rates presently offered to shipyards in these aforesaid countries are
significantly low.
In addition to the cost advantage that China and South Korea have, their respective governments provide
discounts or subsidies at the time of sale of ships, which represent approximately 5-10% and approximately
15-20% of the total ship cost in case of China and South Korea respectively. This helps shipyards in these
countries to bid at a lower price in international tenders.
In 2015, China, South Korea and Japan, together, accounted for 91% of the global industry (in terms of deliveries),
with China comprising the largest share at 36%, followed by South Korea and Japan at 34% and 21%, respectively.

Order Book Trends

I. Year-wise
In line with falling shipyard capacity and the stretched finances of owners and banks, the global order book
declined for most vessel types in 2015 and 2016. Between 2012 and 2016, the global order book declined at a
CAGR of 7.7%. The order books for container ships, oil tankers, dry bulk carriers and general cargo have declined
46%, 51%, 61% and 82%, respectively from their peak values in 2008 and 2009. According to CRISIL, the
sluggishness was primarily due to a combination of excess supply and low demand, especially in the dry bulk and
container segments.

96
II. Vessel-wise

Dry bulk and oil tankers together account for more than 80% of the global order book. While the share of dry bulk
has seen a downward trend over the four year period from April 2012 to April 2016, the shares of oil tanker and
container ship segments has improved.

During the year to January 1, 2016, the total dry bulk order book declined on account of surplus capacity that still
exists and uncertainties concerning the demand for dry bulk commodities from China. The tanker order book has
remained at a similar level between 2012 and 2015 even as excess capacity and volatility in crude oil prices
persisted, due to a rise in demand on account of oil stockpiling, especially by Asian countries (such as China),
increases in refinery runs, slow expansion in the oil fleet supply, slow steaming and changes in trading pattern.
Over the same period, the LNG order book declined due to oversupply amid persistent fleet additions while charter
rates were high, and the container order book declined due to excess capacity, cascading (ship capacity moved
from main or artery lanes to secondary routes), uncertainty about the future of slow steaming and the alignment
of major container ship operators in four mega-alliances, listed below:

2M - Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC);

CKYHE - Cosco Shipping, K-Line, Yang Ming Marine Transport, Hanjin Shipping and Evergreen Shipping
Agency;
G6 - American President Lines (APL), Hapag Lloyd, Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), Nippon
Yusen (NYK), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and Hyundai Merchant Marine Co.; and
Ocean Three - CMA CGM, China Shipping (CSCL), United Arab Shipping Company (UASC), Hamburg
Sud (through vessel share).
These alliances have been formed to create economies of scale by sharing space on mega-vessels, which reduce
the operating cost due to their sheer volume.

97
Revenue trends

South Koreas large shipbuilders, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering
Co., reported heavy losses in 2015. This was largely because South Koreas shipyards bid aggressively in recent
years for overseas oil rigs and energy platforms to fill their order books and to avoid direct competition with
Chinese shipbuilders, who had the advantage of cheap labour to make low-profit tankers.

The global recession dented overall demand for shipping, thus lowering demand for new ships. A fall in the price
of crude oil resulted in a challenging business environment for global shipbuilders as international oil companies
reduced capital expenditure, and delayed or cancelled orders for drill ships and offshore production facilities.
These factors, along with considerable excess capacity, resulted in a recession in the shipbuilding industry.

Indian Shipbuilding Industry

Overview

Based on the types of ships built, the Indian shipbuilding industry can be broadly categorized as follows:

(i) Large ocean-going vessels catering to overseas as well as coastal trade;

(ii) Medium size specialized vessels such as port crafts, fishing trawlers, offshore vessels, inland and other
smaller crafts and;
(iii) Defence/ naval crafts and vessels for the coast guard.

Sector-wise classification

The Indian shipbuilding industry can be divided into three segments:

(i) Public-sector shipyards [in the commercial segment]: Historically Indias major shipyards have been public-
sector shipyards, which primarily build merchant-class ships and naval vessels. Public-sector shipyards
include Cochin Shipyard, Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers.
(ii) Defence shipyards: Four naval shipyards come under the purview of the Indian Ministry of Defence, namely
Hindustan Shipyard, Mazagon Dock, Goa Shipyard and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers.
(iii) Private-sector shipyards: The three publicly listed private-sector shipyards are Bharati Defence and
Infrastructure Ltd., ABG Shipyard and Reliance Defence and Engineering (RDEL) Shipyard (formerly
Pipavav). Larsen & Toubro Ltd is another major private sector shipyard. In addition, there are a number of
smaller private shipyards building smaller ships and vessels, including coastal vessels, barges, tugs, patrol
ships and fishing ships.
As of March 2015, the private sector accounted for approximately two-thirds of the total shipbuilding order book
in terms of the number of ships with outstanding orders for 199 ships amounting to a combined tonnage of 2,567
thousand DWT. In fiscal 2015, private sector shipyards delivered 24 ships with a combined tonnage of
approximately 98 thousand DWT.

Among public-sector shipyards, key names include Cochin Shipyard, Hindustan Shipyard and Mazagaon Dock.
Large private-sector shipyards include ABG Shipyard, Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Ltd. and RDEL
Shipyard and Larsen & Toubro Shipyard.

98
Capacity Trends

The shipbuilding capacity of public-sector shipyards marginally declined between fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015. In
fiscal 2015, Goa Shipyard increased its capacity by more than double from 4,500 DWT to 10,000 DWT. The
private-sectors shipbuilding capacity, on the other hand, increased at a CAGR of approximately 3% between
fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2015. The capacity enhancement of the private-sector was due to new shipyards such as
Larsen & Toubro who entered in 2014 with a capacity of 30,000 DWT, Sembmarine Kakinada who started
operations in 2015, with a capacity of 50,000 DWT, and Chidambaranar Shipcare who set up a shipbuilding
facility with a capacity of 3,500 DWT.

99
Shipbuilding capacities of major shipbuilders (as of fiscal 2015) are shown below:

As per a report released by the Ministry of Shipping, within the public sector, Cochin Shipyard possessed a
maximum ship-building capacity of approximately 110,000 DWT, followed by Hindustan Shipyard (80,000
DWT) and Alcock Ashdown Ltd (15,000 DWT), as of fiscal 2015, as shown below.

The private sector holds the largest share of overall capacity of shipyards in India. Among private sector shipyards,
RDEL has a maximum capacity of approximately 400,000 DWT, followed by Bharati Defence and Infrastructure
Ltd. at approximately 70,000 DWT, as of fiscal 2015, as shown below.

100
Shipbuilding capacity of companies by type and size (as of fiscal 2015)

Cochin Shipyard is in the process of expanding its capacity in order to build large ships such as LNG vessels,
large container vessels and new generation aircraft carriers.

Commercial Order book Trends

The shipbuilding order book position declined during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015 due to a number of factors such
as persistent excess supply and weak global trade.

101
I. Vessel -wise

The share of dry cargo segment rose significantly in fiscal 2013, mainly because RDEL Shipyards orders were
reclassified from bulk cargo to dry cargo. Between fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2015, the order book of public sector
shipyards was lower than that of private sector shipyards due to the vessels for clients engaged in the defence
sector in their order book. However, execution of the order book of private shipyards remains uncertain due to the
stressed financial position of major shipyards like ABG Shipyard, RDEL Shipyard and Bharati Defence and
Infrastructure Ltd.

According to industry interactions, some orders of commercial vessels placed with private-sector shipyards have
either been cancelled or put on hold. Additionally, the majority of orders of ships for clients engaged in the defence
sector have been placed with the public-sector shipyards.

As of fiscal 2015, Indian shipbuilders had orders for 292 ships, with an aggregate tonnage capacity of 2.68 million
DWT. Of these, 57 ships, with an aggregate capacity of 1.385 million DWT, were export orders. In DWT terms,
domestic orders comprised a greater share of the order book of the public-sector, while the private-sector order
book is more evenly distributed.

Domestic orders contributed a major part of the order book for public-sector in terms of number of ships, however,
the order book was equally shared by domestic and export orders in terms of DWT. Considering the order book
as of March 2015, the average capacity (in DWT) of export orders is more than that of the domestic orders.

The public-sector shipyards were limited in their ability to take up large export orders due to inadequate capacity
and pending orders.

102
As of March 31, 2015 Goa Shipyard and Cochin Shipyard are the only public-sector shipyards who have received
export orders. In the public-sector, Cochin Shipyard has the largest export order book. In the Dry bulk and offshore
segment, ABG Shipyard has the largest domestic order book among private-sector shipyards.

II. Public-sector company-wise

As of March 31, 2015 Hindustan Shipyard has typically contributed approximately half of the public-sectors
order book. However, its order book size (in DWT) saw a sharp decline during fiscal 2014 and remained at similar
level in fiscal 2015. The order book size (in DWT) of Cochin Shipyard and Mazagaon Dock increased marginally
from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2015. Among public-sector shipyards, the average tonnage (DWT) per ship on order is
highest for Cochin Shipyard followed by Hindustan Shipyard.

III. Private-sector company-wise

The order book of private-sector is largely contributed by two shipyards, ABG Shipyard and RDEL Shipyard.
However, the order books of RDEL Shipyard and ABG Shipyard declined at a CAGR of 7% and 14% respectively,
from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2015.

103
Commercial Delivery Trends

The number of ships delivered by the private-sector, as well as in DWT terms, declined after fiscal 2012. With
the exception of fiscal 2014, public-sector deliveries outpaced those of private-sector shipyards in DWT terms.
Among public-sector shipyards, GRSB delivered the most ships, in DWT terms, from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015.

Defence Order Book Trends

Naval shipbuilding is a sub-segment of the Indian shipbuilding sector. It is characterised by a value addition of
65% during the construction of ships, which is contributed by ancillary industries including steel producers, main
engine builders and equipment suppliers. Growth of the domestic shipbuilding sector, which imports 45% of its
input requirement, can become a significant factor for large-scale indigenisation of heavy-engineering products
and ancillaries.

Traditionally, even as naval ancillary components have been acquired from outside India, the shipbuilding activity
has been carried out indigenously. However, over the years, the Indian government has pursued a policy towards
greater indigenisation of defence equipment.

The domestic defence shipbuilding industry primarily caters to two sub-segments, the Indian Navy and the Indian
Coast Guard. Both Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard currently possess a large fleet.

Defence Public-Sector Units (DPSUs) account for the major portion of the scheduled new fleet additions to the
naval fleet. These DPSUs currently have a large order book for ships for clients engaged in the defence sector.
Mazagaon Dock, Goa Shipyard, Garden Reach Shipping & Engineers and Hindustan Shipyard are major PSUs
catering to the defence sector sub-segment. A significant number of orders have been placed with these DPSUs
over the past two years.

In fiscal 2015, Goa Shipyards order book had five offshore patrol vessels and was also nominated to build 12
mine counter measure vessels for `326 billion. Mazagaon Dock is executing orders for three destroyers of project
P15-A, four destroyers of plan 15-B, four frigates of project P17-A, and six Scorpene-class submarines. Cochin

104
Shipyard is executing the order for one aircraft carrier and a series of fast patrol vessels. Garden Reach Shipping
& Engineers has an order book that includes three stealth frigates under project P-17A, four Anti-Submarine
Warfare Corvettes (ASCs), four Water Jet Fast Attack Crafts (WJFACs) and eight Landing Craft Utilities (LCUs).

The order book for the Indian shipbuilding industry is expected to receive a boost on account of the ship
acquisition plans of Indian Navy and Coast Guard. Ship orders for clients engaged in the defence sector are
expected to increase between fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2021, with the Indian Navys and Coast Guards ambitious
plans for a 200-ship fleet each.

The Indian shipbuilding industry is expected to deliver 14,000 to 17,000 DWT by fiscal 2021 through the partial
or full execution of orders for both the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard. CRISIL Research expects delivery
of some of the most important orders, such as, Scorpene-class submarines, P15-A, P15-B and P17-A vessels
within this timeframe. Most of these ships are currently at various stages of completion.

Defence Delivery Trends

The defence fleet has seen significant additions from the domestic shipbuilding industry in the past two years.
Goa Shipyard handed over one naval offshore patrol vessel and Mazagaon Dock delivered INS Kochi, the second
ship of plan 15-A. Cochin Shipyard delivered a series of FPVs to the Indian Coast Guard. Cochin Shipyard and
Garden Reach Shipping & Engineers received and executed orders for ships for foreign clients engaged in the
defence sector. The Garden Reach Shipping & Engineers delivered one ASC, INS Kamorta, and also completed
its export order of CGS Barracuda, an offshore patrol vessel to the government of Mauritius. As of fiscal 2016,
Goa Shipyard has an export order book of approximately `12,000 million, comprising patrol vessels and
interceptor boats for Mauritius and the Sri Lankan Navy. Among private shipyards, ABG Shipyard completed its
delivery of one pollution control vehicle to the Indian Coast Guard.

Global Ship-repair Industry

According to a report published by the Ministry of Shipping at the India Maritime Summit 2016, the global ship
repair market is approximately US$ 12 billion. Shipyards in Singapore, Bahrain, Dubai and Middle East account
for a major share of this market. These locations have achieved a dominant position despite higher cost of ship
repair services compared to other Asian countries, largely due to the availability of a skilled workforce and the
latest technology, which allows these shipyards to attract demand from other low cost locations like India,
Malaysia and Indonesia. According to the Ministry of Shipping at the India Maritime Summit 2016, Indian ship
repair industrys market potential is approximately US$1.5 billion (`102 billion).

Indian Ship-repair Industry

Market size

According to the Statistics of Indias Ship Building and Ship Repair Industry, published by the Ministry of
Shipping, the total market size of the Indian ship-repair industry in fiscal 2015 was approximately `5,043 million.
From fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015, the market size has remained constant except for during fiscal 2013, when it
crossed the `10,000 million level in part due to Mazagaon Docks high value orders. This was an isolated case,
as Mazagon Dock does not typically undertake ship repairing.

105
The share of the public-sector in the revenues earned through ships repaired is much higher compared to the
private-sector. The average realisation per ship repaired by the public-sector is higher compared to that of the
private-sector.

Market share

Cochin Shipyard, accounting for approximately 39% of the total revenues earned in fiscal 2015 through ship-
repair, is the leading shipyard in the ship-repair industry. It is followed by Goa Shipyard with a share of
approximately 20% in the revenues earned in fiscal 2015 through ship-repair. The private-sector shipyards in this
segment are Sembmarine Kakinada, Larsen & Toubro and ABG Shipyard.

In terms of market size, the share of the public-sector remained higher than the private-sector from fiscal 2011 to
fiscal 2015. The number of ships repaired by the public and private-sectors increased at a CAGR of 18% and 52%
respectively, during this period.

Capacity Trends

The public-sector had a largely stable ship-repair capacity between fiscals 2011 and 2015. GSL contributed with
a major capacity addition in fiscal 2015, which more than doubled its capacity from 4,500 DWT to 10,000 DWT.
The ship-repair capacity of the private-sector improved following the commencement of operations of two new
shipyards viz. Larsen & Toubro Ltd with 30,000 DWT and Sembmarine Kakinada with 54,000 DWT capacity.

I. Region-wise
The western coast of India houses almost 60% of the overall ship-repair capacity of the country. As the shipyards
are located along the sea coast, there are no shipyards in northern India. The majority of the shipyards on the
western coast are located in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala and Goa while major shipyards in the east are
concentrated in West Bengal.

106
II. Company-wise
The public-sector owns nine dry docks and three wet docks. Cochin Shipyard and Garden Reach Shipbuilders &
Engineers have two and five dry docks, respectively. Only Hindustan Shipyard and Garden Reach Shipbuilders
& Engineers have both dry as well as wet docks.

Some shipyards also provide other repairing facilities such as a jetty, shiplift, slipway, submersible ship or
platform and quay. Among private-sector shipyards, ABG Shipyard has two and NN Shipbuilders and Engineers
has three slipways.

Cochin Shipyard had the largest ship-repair capacity within the public sector as of fiscal 2015, followed by
Hindustan Shipyard. Within the private sector, RDEL Shipyard had the largest ship-repair capacity, followed by
Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Ltd, as shown below.

III. Port-wise
Kandla, Mumbai, Mormugao, Cochin, V O Chidambaranar, Visakhapatnam, Paradip and Kolkata are the major
ports in India. The Kolkata port has four dry docks, while the rest have one each. The Mormugao and
Visakhapatnam ports have eight workshops each, while the Paradip port has only one. In terms of dimensions,
Mumbai port is the largest. All major ports, except the V O Chidambaranar port, have cranes.

In fiscal 2015, the Mumbai port recorded the highest number of ship-repairs while the Kolkata port had the highest
occupancy of dry docks, among the major ports.

Future outlook

107
The ship-repair industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8 to 10% between fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2021. Indian
ship-repair yards will be driven by greater focus towards diversifying their revenue streams to withstand the
slowdown in ship building.

Indian yards are expected to benefit from the increasing strength of the Indian Navy and the Coast Guards
operational and support fleet, which will drive the repairs business. Moreover, higher indigenisation in ships for
clients engaged in the defence sector are expected to augment the revenue per refit and repair, driving growth and
increasing the proportion of defence repairs over the next five years.

Revenue generated through repairs of foreign vessels is also expected to improve in the wake of service tax
exemptions granted by the central government in 2014 and a reduction of central excise duty on capital goods raw
materials and spares used for the repair of ocean going vessels. Indian shipyards are facing increasing competition
from foreign shipyards as their shipbuilding capacities remain underutilised. Also, major Indian shipyards are
sceptical about taking in foreign vessels as the average ticket sizes are lower despite similar capacity requirements.

Key drivers

Strategic positional advantage

Indias strategic position along the east bound and west bound international trade routes offers an opportunity to
cater to vessels plying on these routes. A main container route connecting America and Europe to the East passes
very close to the Indian coastline presenting a major opportunity for repairs.

Capacity additions

Cochin Shipyard is in the process of adding one more dry dock of size 310 x 75/60 x 13 M, which will enable
it to undertake repairs of vessels like LNG carriers, semi-submersibles, jack up rigs, and drill ships.
Full commissioning of the international ship repairing facility at Cochin port with state of the art ship repair
facilities will enable Cochin to position itself as a major ship repair hub. The target is to enhance Cochin
Shipyards ship-repair capability by 70-90 ships per annum.
Phase 3 and 4 of development (the expansion and upgradation of infrastructure at Goa Shipyard) are under
progress. This development is expected to enhance its capabilities for the repair of ships for clients engage in
the defence sector.
The construction of a floating dry dock facility at V O Chidambaranar port is in the feasibility study phase.
This facility would enhance its capacity to carry out underwater repairs of tugs, launch boats and other
watercrafts.
The project to modernise ship repairing facilities at Kolkata dock is expected to improve its capabilities to
service both Indian and foreign vessels. The project is still in the planning stages.
There is a proposal underway for refurbishment of the existing Hughes dry dock at Mumbai port. This project
aims to provide adequate wet berth facilities to complement dry docks to cater to afloat repairs.
In order to create adequate dry docking facilities and maintenance capacities for vessels plying through
Andaman and Nicobar waters, a project to create a ship repair facility (ship lift/slipway) capable of handling
5000 DWT vessels is underway and is in the pre-feasibility stage, according to a report published at the
Maritime India Summit 2016.

Indian Defence Sector

Budgetary allocation trends

108
The Indian budgetary allocation for defence in 2015-16 was `2,467 billion, which is approximately 1.75% of the
countrys GDP. From fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2016, the allocation for defence increased at a CAGR of 9%. During
this period, revenue expenditure remained largely constant while capital expenditure increased at a CAGR of
approximately 11%.

Defence budget (fiscal 2016)

In fiscal 2016, the Indian Army accounted for the highest share of the defence budget followed by the Indian Air
Force and then the Indian Navy, which accounted for approximately 18% of the total defence budget.

Indian Navy

During fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2016, the budgetary allocation for the Indian Navy was in the range of between 14-
17% of the total budget. The allocation to the Indian Navy has declined over the last two years in absolute terms.

109
Key GoI Initiatives

The Indian government has taken the following key initiatives to develop and promote the domestic shipbuilding
industry:

New Shipbuilding Policy (December 2015)

The Indian cabinet approved the new shipbuilding policy in December 2015, granting financial assistance and
infrastructure status to the industry. The government has set aside `40 billion to implement the scheme over the
next 10 years.

Key policy features include:

Granting financial assistance to both state-owned and private shipbuilders on each ship they build, except for
smaller boats and fishing vessels. However, financial assistance given would be scaled down by three
percentage points every three years, starting with 20% in the first three years, down to 11% in the 10th year;
The assistance will be given on the contract price or fair price, whichever is lower;
Both state-owned and private shipyards will get the assistance only after they construct and hand over to the
ship to the buyer;
Indian shipyards will have the right of first refusal for government purchases, implying that even if the
shipyard is not the lowest bidder, an option is provided to the shipyard to match the lowest foreign bid and
secure the contract; and
Granting infrastructure status to the shipbuilding and ship-repair industry, making it entitled to various
government incentives and tax benefits.

Indirect tax incentives (November 2015)

The government issued a notification in November 2015, highlighting the indirect-tax incentives proposed to be
provided to the industry:

Exemption from customs and central excise duties on all raw materials and parts for use in the manufacture
of ships, vessels, tugs and pusher crafts.
Currently, certain specified vessels are exempt from the basic customs duty and central excise duty.
Consequently, for such vessels manufactured in export-oriented units and cleared to the domestic tariff area,
they are not eligible for exemption on raw materials and parts of such vessels. A suitable amendment is being
made to the relevant notifications to provide this exemption, even if such vessels are exempt from the basic
customs duty and central excise/CV duty.

110
 The requirement of manufacture of ships, vessels, tugs and pusher crafts in a custom-bounded warehouse to
avail of the customs and excise-duty exemptions has also been removed. Instead, these exemptions will now
be subject to actual user conditions.
Central excise duty exemption on inputs used in the repair of ocean-going vessels has been granted in the
Union Budget for fiscal 2017.

The financial assistance policy coupled with the exemption from customs and central excise duties on all raw
materials and parts for use in the manufacture of ships, vessels, tugs or pusher crafts will reduce the cost of
manufacturing ships in India, thus improving the competiveness of Indian shipbuilders. However, the impact of
the policy is not great enough to offset weak global commercial demand.

The financial assistance policy of 2015 provides assistance post-delivery of the vessel, as against 30% assistance
on booking the order as per the ship building subsidy scheme 2002, which led to India garnering an approximate
1.2% share of the global order book. In a situation where major private shipyards are facing financial issues owing
to high working capital needs, the new policy might not be as effective.

Following a freight revival in the shipping market, competition from major global shipyards is expected to
intensify to an extent that offsets the excess cost competitiveness gained through financial assistance and tax
exemptions.

National Investment and Infrastructure Fund

Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, announced the creation of a National Investment and Infrastructure Fund
(NIIF) in Union Budget 2015-16, which would receive an annual flow of `20,000 crore. This will enable the trust
to raise debt, and in turn, invest in infrastructure finance companies such as IRFC and NHB (National Housing
Bank). The infrastructure finance companies can then leverage this extra equity manifold.

With a view to attracting investments from Qatar under the umbrella of NIIF, a memorandum of understanding
(MOU) was signed with Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) on June 5, 2016. The objective of the MOU is to
facilitate QIA to study investment opportunities in the infrastructure sector in India, develop a framework for the
exchange of information with regard to such investments opportunities, and enable both sides to decide on joint
investments. It will remain in effect for 12 months, during which both parties will discuss and agree on the terms,
principles and criteria for such investments. NIIF shall share with QIA a pipeline of investment opportunities
available in the infrastructure sector in India.

Make in India Initiative

Gas Authority of India has signed contracts to buy LNG from suppliers in the US. Transporting this gas will
require large specialised LNG carriers. As part of the Make in India campaign, the Government of India is keen
that one-third of the total number of ships should be built by Indian shipyards.

Deregulation

The Ministry of Shipping has taken steps to improve the ease of doing businesses, such as:

rescinding 13 obsolete and unnecessary rules under the Merchant Shipping Act. Of these 13 rules, six have
been rescinded and seven have been pre-published before rescindment.
eliminating the requirement for registration of ship repair units with the Directorate General of Shipping. The
Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry have now been instructed to extend
concessions and facilities to ship repair units without such registration.
allowing re-rolled steel from re-cycling yards and ship breaking units to be certified for use in the construction
of inland barges, river sea vessels (type 1 and 2) and port and harbour crafts, after ascertaining its sourcing
and processing, which will help lower the cost of construction.

Sagarmala Project

According to the national perspective plan, the Sagarmala project aims to transform existing ports and create new
ones with world-class technology and infrastructure. The project is also expected to integrate ports with industrial
clusters and the hinterland through rail, road, inland and coastal waterways. The government is expected to invest

111
US$16 billion for the projects completion.

The project is expected to tackle underutilised ports by focussing on port modernisation, efficient evacuation, and
coastal economic development. It will also complement the Golden Quadrilateral project and provide sea
connectivity to major industrial centres.

Development of Inland Waterways Transport

Inland waterways transport will be an alternative for the existing mode of transportation. This will decongest the
existing modes and bring advantages in the form of fuel and cost savings. The proposed 101 inland waterways
will require an estimated investment of US$5.5 billion over the next two years.

Inland waterways accounts for only 3% of Indias total transport, compared with 47% in China and 44% in the
European Union. The governments initiative to develop inland waterways is a big business opportunity for the
Indian shipbuilding industry in the form of future orders building dredgers and small bulk carrier vessels.

Defence Sector Liberalisation

The Indian government has taken steps to encourage the domestic defence shipbuilding industry. In August 2014,
the foreign direct investment limit was increased from 26% to 49% to cut imports by indigenising defence
production. India is among the top ten defence spenders in the world and such a move to encourage domestic
manufacturing bodes well for Indian shipbuilders with a defence presence.

In line with the Indian governments vision of Make in India, the Indian Navy has prepared a guideline
document, the Indian Naval Indigenisation Plan (INIP) 2015-2030, to enunciate the need for developing various
advanced systems for its platforms. This plan recognises that the industry, including the private-sector, can play
a vital role in meeting the sophisticated needs of the armed forces through cost-effective utilisation of its know-
how and existing infrastructure, in pursuance of the government of Indias vision of Make in India.

The Indian Navy has achieved approximately 90% indigenisation in the FLOAT category and approximately 50
to 60% in MOVE category, depending upon the type of propulsion and in the FIGHT category they have
achieved approximately 30% indigenisation. Some of the major equipment currently imported, which holds much
scope for indigenisation, are weapons, sensors, propulsion systems (especially gas turbines), marine diesel engines
for main propulsion and gear boxes under the MOVE category.

The unavailability of domestic equipment manufacturing ancillary companies hinders Indian shipbuilding
companies as these costs represent approximately 50-55% of the total shipbuilding costs and these materials have
to be ultimately imported. Labour is another major cost for shipbuilding accounting for approximately 10-15% of

112
the total costs. According to CRISIL, the lower cost of labour in India, compared to China, South Korea and Japan
could aid in competitiveness ahead of increasing levels of indigenisation.

In addition, over the last few years, major private shipyards such as RDEL Shipyard, ABG Shipyard and Bharati
Defence and Infrastructure Ltd, have had to opt for corporate debt restructuring on account of the inherent
disadvantages like the unavailability of cheap raw materials and limited government support compounded by
economic downturn, a decline in global trade and a liquidity crunch.

Defence Procurement Policy (DPP 2016)

The new defence procurement policy was introduced in March 2016 to initiate a new procurement regime for
defence equipment. The following are some of the key features:

Buy (Indian-IDDM) Procurement Category: Pursuant to the Make in India initiative in defence production,
DPP 2016 has introduced a new procurement category, Buy (Indian Indigenously-Designed, Developed and
Manufactured), or Buy (Indian-IDDM). In terms of prioritisation, the new category, which would also be
used for procurement of all locally designed and developed items under the revamped Make procedures, is
placed above the existing Buy (Indian) category which, in turn, is placed above the other categories, namely
the Buy and Make (Indian), Buy and Make and Buy (Global).
Under the new category, indigenously designed equipment with a 40% Indigenous Content (IC), or
equipment not necessarily designed in house but having a 60% IC, is intended for procurement from the
domestic industry.
The new DPP has divided the Make projects into two categories, Make-I (Government Funded) and Make-
II (Industry Funded), apart from giving a decisive say to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
For Make-I projects, the government would lead in funding prototype development by the industry; whereas
for Make-II projects, which are largely confined to import substitution, the industry that would bear the full
costs of development.
Introduction of L1-T1 methodology for award of contracts: In a significant change from the past, DPP 2016
has introduced the L1-T1 methodology for selecting the supplier of military goods under the Buy and Buy
and Make schemes. Under this methodology the final bidder would not necessarily be selected on the basis
of lowest price quoted by the technically compliant vendors (the so-called L1 methodology), but by a
combination of price and superior technology offered by the qualified vendors.
An increase in the offset threshold limit: DPP 2016 has raised the offset threshold limit from `3 billion to `20
billion.

with effect from April 1, 2016, we are required to prepare our financial statements in accordance with the Ind AS.
References to restated below are to our restated financial information for the Fiscals 2014, 2015, 2016 and the
half year ended September 30, 2016 prepared under the Indian GAAP.

Overview

We are the largest public sector shipyard in India in terms of dock capacity, as of March 31, 2015, according to
the CRISIL Report. We cater to clients engaged in the defence sector in India and clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide. In addition to shipbuilding and ship repair, we also offer marine engineering
training.

As of January 31, 2017, we have two docks dock number one, primarily used for ship repair (Ship Repair
Dock) and dock number two, primarily used for shipbuilding (Shipbuilding Dock). Our Ship Repair Dock is
one of the largest in India and enables us to accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT
(Source: CRISIL Report). Our Shipbuilding Dock can accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 110,000
DWT (Source: CRISIL Report).

We are in the process of constructing a new dock, a stepped dry dock (Dry Dock). This stepped dock will
enable longer vessels to fill the length of the dock and wider, shorter vessels and rigs to be built or repaired at the
wider part. We are also in the process of setting up an International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF), which includes
setting up a shiplift and transfer system.

In the last two decades, we have built and delivered vessels across broad classifications including bulk carriers,
tankers, Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTSs), barges, bollard
pull tugs, passenger vessels and Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs). We are currently building India's first Indigenous
Aircraft Carrier (IAC) for the Indian Navy. We have also grown our ship repair operations and are the only
commercial shipyard to have undertaken repair work of Indian Navy's aircraft carriers, the INS Viraat and INS
Vikramaditya.

Our diversified offerings to the Indian clients engaged in the defence sector and to clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide have allowed us to successfully adapt to the cyclical fluctuations of our industry.
Over the last five Fiscals, the break-down of our average operating revenues is set out below:

Clients engaged in the

Activity Commercial clients
defence sector
Shipbuilding 64.74% 20.60%
Ship repair 7.46% 6.70%
Other operating revenue 0.47% 0.03%

Our current shipbuilding order book includes Phase-II of the IAC for the Indian Navy, two 500 passenger cum
150 ton cargo vessels and two 1,200 passenger cum 1,000 ton cargo vessels for the Andaman and Nicobar
Administration (A&N Administration), two Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) vessels for the Kochi Municipal
Corporation and a vessel for one of the Government of India's (GoI) projects. Our current ship repair order
book includes vessels from our key clients.

We recently delivered a large deck cargo cum launch barge to the National Petroleum Construction Company,
Abu Dhabi (NPCC) and the last FPV (in a series of 20) to the Indian Coast Guard.

We are a wholly-owned GoI company, incorporated on March 29, 1972 and were conferred the 'Miniratna' status
in 2008, by the Department of Public Enterprises, GoI. Our shipyard is strategically located along the west coast
of India, midway on the main sea route connecting Europe, West Asia and the Pacific Rim, a busy international
maritime route. In addition, our shipyard is located close to the Kochi port as well as to offshore oil fields on the
western coast of India and relatively close to the Middle East.

114
We commenced our operations in 1975 and have over four decades of experience in shipbuilding. We have in
the past delivered two of Indias largest double hull oil tankers, each of 92,000 DWT (Source: CRISIL Report)
to the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI). Over the years, we have successfully responded to fluctuations in
the shipbuilding requirements of the markets we operate in and have evolved from building bulk carriers to
building smaller and more technically sophisticated vessels such as PSVs and AHTSs. We have worked with
several leading technology firms in our industry including Rolls Royce Marine (Norway), and GTT (Gaztransport
& Technigaz) SA (GTT). We believe this has added to our credibility in the international markets. Our key
shipbuilding clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard and the SCI. We have also exported 45
ships to various commercial clients outside India such as NPCC, the Clipper Group (Bahamas) and Vroon
Offshore (Netherlands) and SIGBA AS (Norway).

We began our ship repair operations in 1978 and have undertaken repairs of various types of vessels including
upgradation of ships of the oil exploration industry as well as periodical maintenance, repairs and life extension
of ships. Our shipyard has, over the years, developed capabilities to handle various repair jobs. We have entered
into MoUs with various clients including with the Lakshadweep Development Corporation Limited (LDCL),
Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships (DGLL) and the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI)
giving us the opportunity to undertake ship repair work for these organisations on a bulk volume basis. Our key
ship repair clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, SCI, the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC) and DCI. We have also partnered with Techcross Inc. for technical support, engineering, service
support and sharing of information in relation to the Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) products.

Our Marine Engineering Training Institute at Kochi began in 1993, where we conduct marine engineering training
programs. These programs are approved by Director General of Shipping (DGS), GoI. We also operate a
material testing laboratory, which was established in 1972. Our material testing laboratory has been accredited
by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and is one of the leading
laboratories in Kerala in the field of chemical, mechanical and non-destructive testing of various materials
including metals, welds and alloys.

We have several certifications including the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2004 -
Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management
System. Our listed debentures have been rated AA+ by since 2014 by various agencies including India Ratings
and Research Private Limited (IRRPL) and CARE. We were also adjudged the Shipbuilding Company of the
Year in 2015 by the Gateway Awards. For further details of awards we have received, see History and Certain
Corporate Matters Awards and Recognition on page 136.

Our Company has posted profits continuously in the last five Fiscals. Our total revenues and PAT has increased
from `14,737.01 million and `1,553.28 million respectively, in Fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29
million, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25% and 16.47%, respectively. For the half year ended
September 30, 2016, our total revenues and PAT were `10,274.61 million and `1,845.24 million, respectively.

Competitive Strengths

We believe we benefit from a number of strengths that together differentiate us from our competitors:

One of India's leading public-sector shipyards catering to both commercial clients as well as clients engaged
in the defence sector with a multitude of offerings for a broad range of vessels across life cycles

We are the largest public sector shipyard in India in terms of dock capacity, as of March 31, 2015, according to
the CRISIL Report. We have catered to both commercial clients and clients engaged in the defence sector
evidenced by our revenues from shipbuilding and ship repair operations in recent Fiscals as set our below:

(in ` million)
Activity Fiscal 2014 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2016

Clients engaged in the defence sector 14,572.34 12,338.08 15,053.09
Commercial Clients 991.63 1,331.69 1,179.35
Total 15,563.97 13,669.77 16,232.44

 (in ` million)
Activity Fiscal 2014 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2016
Commercial Clients 1,224.03 1,440.92 822.21
Total 2,286.51 1,977.70 3,640.54
Grand Total 17,850.48 15,647.47 19,872.98

Shipbuilding for clients engaged in the defence sector is complex and time-consuming, whereas commercial
shipbuilding, while relatively less complex, is subject to business cycles. Catering to both commercial clients and
clients engaged in the defence sector has helped us to address these issues relatively better. We are currently
building India's first IAC for the Indian Navy and have recently delivered the last FPV (in a series of 20) to the
Indian Coast Guard prior to the delivery date. We have also built two of Indias largest double hull oil tankers,
each of 92,000 DWT (Source: CRISIL Report) for SCI and recently delivered a large deck cargo cum jacket
launch barge for NPCC.

In addition to shipbuilding, we also undertake ship repair for the Indian Navy and repaired about 15 Indian Naval
Ships, on an average in the Fiscals 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively where our scope of work varied from
normal wear and tear to complex repairs. We also recently completed refits of INS Aditya, INS Sukanya, INS
Shardul, INS Viraat and INS Vikramaditya for the Indian Navy. We have also undertaken major revamping and
refurbishing of oil rigs involving steel renewal, up-gradation of drilling, cementing, mechanical, HVAC and
piping systems in almost all the major offshore vessels and rigs of ONGC.

Our top customers include the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard. These top two customers together
accounted for 87.69%, 82.46%, 89.94% and 73.16% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2014, 2015, 2016
and the half year ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Indian Navy has praised us for our high production
standards, quality construction and timely delivery. (Source: https://www.indiannavy.nic.in/content/vikrant-
navys-first-indigenous-aircraft-carrier-launched)

Our Marine Engineering Training Institute began in 1993 and we facilitate the DGS approved GME residential
course for mechanical and naval architect engineering graduates. We also have a NABL accredited material testing
laboratory.

We believe that our diverse experience and multiple offerings put us in a good position to benefit from the recent
Make in India initiative introduced by the GoI pursuant to which a steady pipeline of future orders and
opportunities is expected from Indian clients engaged in the defence sector as well as the Indian PSUs.

Modern facilities and infrastructure and integrated capabilities to deliver quality products and services

We believe that the state of the art infrastructure and facilities available at our shipyard combined with our vast
expertise give us a significant edge over our domestic peers. While our proposed Dry Dock project will be set up
on our existing shipyard premises, the ISRF will be set up on land near our shipyard leased from the Cochin Port
Trust (CoPT). We believe that our modern facilities and infrastructure and integrated capabilities have helped
us built a strong reputation for quality and timely delivery over decades of doing business with both our Indian
and international clients.

Our integrated shipbuilding infrastructure at the shipyard allows us to undertake structural, machinery and
electrical design and to prepare detailed production engineering drawings. During the shipbuilding design process
3D hull, piping and electrical models are created, ensuring optimum, error free ship designs. Inputs for various
NC equipment are also generated on these systems. Quay III, which is used for shipbuilding, has a length of 630m
and has two LLTT cranes with capacities of 40T and 20T, respectively.

Our ship repair facilities include our Ship Repair Dock measuring 270m x 45m x 12m that enables us to undertake
the repair of vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT. Our shipyard currently has one of the largest
ship repair capacities among the Indian public sector shipyards (Source: CRISIL Report). Additionally, we have
two quays, Quay I with a length of 290m and a 15T cranage and Quay II with a length of 208m and a 10T cranage.
Both quays have LLTT cranes.

Order book with a strong customer base of reputable ship owners and marquee clients

Shipbuilding

116
We have built a variety of vessels ranging from bulk carriers, tankers and passengers ships to offshore support
vessels and port crafts. In the last five years, we have built and delivered over 35 vessels to clients worldwide.
We have built and repaired vessels and provided other offshore project services to some of the biggest corporates,
both in India and globally. Our Indian clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, SCI, ONGC,
DGLL and DCI. Our key foreign clients include NPCC, the Clipper Group, Vroon and SIGBA AS.

We are currently building India's first IAC for the Indian Navy. We are also currently constructing two 500
passenger cum 150 ton cargo vessels and two 1200 passenger cum1000 ton cargo vessels for the A&N
Administration, two Ro-Ro vessels for the Kochi Municipal Corporation and a vessel for one of GoI's projects.

Ship repair

We commenced ship repair operations in 1978 and have, over the years, developed adequate capabilities to handle
complex and sophisticated repair jobs. We have also entered into special MoU arrangements to enhance our ship
repair business. For example, we repaired LDCL and DCI vessels under our respective MoUs with them.

In Fiscal 2016, major repair works for commercial clients included work on the GTV Samudra Sarvekshak and
the WSV Samudhra Nidhi for SCI, and on the Dredge VIII and Dredge XIX for the DCI and MV Kavaratti for
LDCL. In the last Fiscal, we believe our docks were running at full capacity due to which we had to turn away
certain new requests.

Competitive cost structure and efficient operations

We believe that we offer our clients competitive cost structures for their shipbuilding and ship repair needs. We
have implemented measures to help ensure that our operations run efficiently. We seek to achieve optimum
utilisation of our full capacity through effective production planning and scheduling and have delivered or are in
the process of delivering all the vessels we have contracted for, including in certain cases, delivery ahead of
schedule such as some of the FPVs for the Indian Coast Guard and deck cargo cum launch barge for NPCC. In
some cases where we were able to deliver the vessels ahead of schedule to our customers, we were able to secure
additional bonuses over and above the cost of the ship including from the Clipper Group as well as repeat orders
from satisfied clients. We are committed to the timely delivery of vessels and place great emphasis on the quality
of our construction. This helps to minimise the need to undertake rectification works for defects or non-
compliance with our customers specifications, and reduces our exposure to liquidated and other damages under
our shipbuilding contracts.

We believe we have achieved further cost savings through our cost management activities. We operate an efficient
system of sub-contracting which aids multiple repair projects and production planning. For example, rather than
maintaining a large number of full time employees, we employ a significant number of contract labour workers,
enabling us to keep the size of our workforce flexible based on our requirements. As of January 31, 2017, we had
1,836 full time employees, one employee on deputation from other government organisations and 589 contract
employees. As of January 31, 2017, we also employed a minimum of 2,597 sub-contract workers on a daily basis.
We also seek to manage the cost of the engines and other equipment used in our vessels by obtaining quotes from
our approved vendors and the cost of our raw materials and components through the selection of suppliers and
subcontractors based on several criteria, including the pricing and the quality of their products and reliability of
their services. Generally, we avoid buying from intermediaries and prefer to deal directly with manufacturers so
as to form long-term relationships with these manufacturers, and wherever possible, obtain better pricing terms.

Our shipyard is strategically located along the west coast of India, on the main sea route connecting the Persian
Gulf to Asia, and is approximately 610 nautical miles from Mumbai, a busy international maritime route that is
conveniently located for ships travelling on this route in need of repair. In addition, our shipyard is located close
to the offshore oil fields on the western coast of India and relatively close to the Middle East, which we believe,
will be an advantage in tapping the offshore rig market. Due to our shipyard's proximity to the Kochi port, we
are well-positioned to benefit from the ports infrastructure facilities such as its approach channel and navigation
facilities.

Led by a dedicated board, long serving and experienced senior management backed by a strong pool of
experienced professionals

We are one of India's leading shipyards, making us an employer of choice and providing a better incentive to our

117
management to continue to pursue excellence in our businesses. Each of our key management staff has, on
average, more than 25 years of experience in the industry and has been with our Company for an average of two
decades. Some of our senior management have grown within our organisation from trainee positions to head their
respective departments. We believe that our organisational culture and experienced board and senior management
have been instrumental in helping us achieve a low cost structure, continuous profit margins, efficient operations,
short delivery schedules, relatively lower attrition and fewer employee disputes.

We have a large pool of experienced naval architects, engineers and draftsmen. We believe that our employees
are instrumental to our success including for the quality of our products and services and our ability to operate in
a cost-efficient manner. We focus on the overall development of our employees through the implementation of
training programmes to enhance employee loyalty, reduce attrition rates, improve skills and service standards and
increase productivity. For example, we provide regular in-house training for our employees such as skill
development programs for various specialised tasks. We also have a MoU with Cochin University of Science and
Technology (CUSAT) that provides two seats for their M. Tech degree course in marine engineering annually
for executives or officers sponsored by us.

Continuous profits leading to robust financial performance

We are a profitable and dividend paying shipyard. Our Company has posted profits continuously in the last five
Fiscals. Our total revenues, and PAT have increased from `14,737.01 million and `1,553.28 million, respectively,
in fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29 million, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25%,
and 16.47%, respectively. For the half year ended September 30, 2016, our total revenues and PAT were
`10,274.61 million and `1,845.24 million respectively. Additionally, we have continuously delivered positive
RoE margins over the last four Fiscals.

We paid dividends to our shareholders at rates of 15%, 15%, 15%, 15% and 76.50% in Fiscals 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015 and 2016. Our strong liquidity position in terms of total cash of ` 21,191.54 million as of January 31, 2017,
enables us to continue to stay invested in our business and to consistently pay our suppliers on time and benefit
from supplier goodwill.

The strength of our balance sheet in terms of liquidity and indebtedness provides us with a number of competitive
advantages, such as lower finance costs and better financial terms for our future borrowing needs. As of January
31, 2017, we had fund based indebtedness in the form of tax free infrastructure bonds amounting to `1,230.00
million (excluding interest due on these bonds). Apart from this, our Company had availed of non-fund based
facilities of `1,009.89 million and USD26.46 million. Our listed debentures has been rated AA+ since 2014 by
various agencies including IRRPL and CARE.

Our Strategies

Our objective is to enhance our market position by expanding our capabilities, capitalising on opportunities both
in domestic and international markets in our industry and to enhance our competitiveness. Our business strategies
are:

Expand our capabilities through our proposed Dry Dock and International Ship Repair Facility

We are in the process of developing our Dry Dock and ISRF. Once developed, we believe that these new
facilities will expand our existing capabilities significantly and help us build and repair a broader variety of
vessels including new generation aircraft carriers and oil rigs, which are expected to be key growth drivers in
the short to near long term. The process of setting up an ISRF will allow us to undertake repair of a broader
range of vessels.

Dry Dock

In addition to our existing dock, we are in the process of building a Dry Dock at a total estimated cost of `17,989.91
million. The length of the Dry Dock will be greater than the length of our existing docks. The larger size of our
proposed Dry Dock will enable us to build and repair ships of higher capacity and large naval vessels such as
aircraft carriers. Further, the greater width of our Dry Dock will also enable us to undertake building and repair
of rigs, within our shipyard.

In relation to our proposed Dry Dock, HaskoningDHV India Private Ltd has prepared a Detailed Project Report

118
dated October 5, 2016. We have also completed the Environmental Impact Assessment study and have obtained
environmental clearance from the MoEFCC. The environmental clearance is subject to certain conditions
including obtaining prior clearance of the wildlife from the standing committee of the National Wildlife Board.
For more details, see Risk Factors The environmental clearance for our new Dry Dock is subject to the final
order in the matter of Goa Foundation v. Union of India and amongst others, the prior clearance of the Standing
Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 20 and see Governmental and Other Approvals on
page 271.

ISRF

We entered into an agreement for development and operation of an international ship repair facility dated
December 24, 2012 with Cochin Port Trust under which we are in process of setting up an ISRF which inter-alia
contains provisions for liquidated damages, indemnity and termination. For the ISRF, we have leased
approximately 8.12 hectares of land and 15 hectares of water body from CoPT, including their existing ship-repair
facility, for a period of 30 years pursuant to the lease deed dated April 12, 2013. Since then, we have begun using
the existing dry dock and allied facilities in the leased area for carrying out ship repair in a limited way.

The ISRF will comprise of a ship-lift, transfer system and allied facilities to be built at an estimated investment
of ` 9,694.1 million. We have appointed a consortium of Inros Lackner SE and Tata Consulting Engineers Limited
as project consultants. A detailed project report was prepared by the project consultants and received the GoI
approval on May 19, 2016. The Expert Appraisal Committee has already recommended for environmental
clearance for the project from the MoEFCC. For more details, see Risk Factors The environmental clearance
for our new Dry Dock is subject to the final order in the matter of Goa Foundation v. Union of India and amongst
others, the prior clearance of the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 20 and see
Governmental and Other Approvals on page 271.

Build a strong order book by bidding vigorously for projects to be awarded by the Indian PSUs and defence
sector pursuant to Make in India initiative

We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the recent Make in India initiative pursuant to which the GoI
is keen to encourage defence manufacturing in India. Policy initiatives such as granting infrastructure status to
shipbuilding, granting right of first refusal to Indian shipyards for shipbuilding and ship repair work of the Indian
PSUs and support through the new financial assistance scheme are expected to provide a steady pipeline of orders
and become key drivers of growth.

Our proposed Dry Dock and ISRF will increase our ability to build, repair and service a broader range of vessels
including vessels of larger capacities. As we are one of the very few commercial shipyards to have won defence
orders from the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard in the past, and have been able to deliver successfully
on these mandates, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of future orders placed by the Indian
Navy and other Indian PSUs. We believe that we have an advantage over other defence PSUs, as they currently
do not have the capacity to construct certain types of ships especially those of bigger dimensions such as the IAC.

The GoI also plans to promote inland water transportation and coastal shipping. We believe that this will present
several opportunities including building high speed ferry crafts, dredgers, ropax vessels and large capacity
passenger ships. This will create demand for shipbuilding and ship repair services, which we believe we are well
equipped to deliver. For example, we have recently bid in respect of a tender by Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers
Ltd (HDPEL), a GoI enterprise, for the upgradation, operation, maintenance and management of two of its
shipyards at Salkia and Nazirgunge located at Howrah, West Bengal.

Continue to enhance our construction quality and delivery time and enhance our price competitiveness in
order to increase our market share

We believe that our emphasis on quality of construction and timely delivery has been a key factor in our ability
to attract new customers and to retain our existing customers. For example, we recently delivered seven FPVs for
the Indian Coast Guard ahead of the contractual delivery schedule. The final FPV (in a series of 20) was delivered
on December 30, 2016, ahead of the scheduled delivery date of March, 2017. We believe that we are achieving
the highest standards in India across in many areas of shipbuilding, such as plate preparation and cutting
processes, block fabrication, hull erection, outfitting, design and engineering, sourcing, procurement, and project
management.

119
Furthermore, with the rising production cost globally, we believe there will be greater demand for offshore
support vessels and other commercial vessels that are built by shipyards with a competitive cost structure and
which can offer vessels at competitive prices. With our in-house fabrication workshops, we intend to continue to
develop in-house capabilities in various manufacturing processes, thereby enabling us to lower our costs of
production and maintain our price competitiveness. We also believe our operations will benefit from our business
partnerships with firms like GTT.

We believe that continuing to enhance our production planning and sequencing processes and inventory
management will also help us to maintain our cost competitiveness and further reduce the construction period of
ships.

Strengthen our market leadership by continuously adding upgraded and new vessel models to our offerings
and expanding customer services

Leveraging our experience in building other vessels, we plan to expand our product offerings. We believe that
we are strong contenders for building the next aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy, due to our unique experience
in constructing such vessels. With this experience we will also be able to bid for other defence projects.
Furthermore, we believe that we are well-positioned to pitch for opportunities in the rig building and repair
business owing to our proximity to offshore locations.

With the construction of our proposed Dry Dock and ISRF, we will also be able to build and repair new vessel
models. We are well-positioned to follow the latest domestic and international standards for our new offerings.
We also plan to expand our operations to cover the entire life cycle of a broader range of vessels.

Continue to leverage our market position and our relationships with customers, suppliers and other business
partners to support our growth and improve our competitiveness

We plan to use our leading position in the Indian shipbuilding and ship repair industry to develop new relationships
with banks, suppliers, universities and colleges, technical schools, classification societies, ship design institutes,
as well as companies in upstream and downstream, oil and offshore services industries, and to create a favourable
environment for our sustainable development.

We plan to further strengthen our long-term cooperation with well-known universities, such as CUSAT, to jointly
provide training, carry out research and development, and develop a potential workforce to support our future
growth. We have also set up a section for the preparation of basic designs to enhance our design capabilities and
to cater to future design requirements.

We believe that these initiatives will also help us in attracting the best talent to Kochi by creating a network of
shipbuilding and ship repair experts and helping Kochi to become as an important center for shipping and related
businesses.

certification society with which the vessel is intended to be certified. Typically, we are permitted to subcontract
any portion of the construction work of the vessel to subcontractors, other than few major sub-contract tasks such
as the main hull structure and superstructures for which we require the prior approval of the client.

Our Product Offerings

Shipbuilding

We are one of the largest public-sector shipyards in India, with a shipbuilding capacity of 110,000 DWT. Our
shipbuilding operations consist of the construction of vessels for clients engaged in the defence and in the
commercial sector shipping industry. Vessels built by us include tankers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels,
barges, buoy tender vessels, FPVs, passenger vessels, and aircraft carriers.

We also run a NABL-accredited material testing laboratory which operates as an independent test house. All
sections of the laboratory have been designed and equipped with instruments to cater to our quality assurance
activities and to extend similar services to the neighbouring institutions, industries and government organisations.

Some of the vessels we have built in the past or are currently in the process of building include:

Clients engaged in the defence sector

IAC: Indias first IAC is being designed by the Indian Navy and built by us. It is one of the Ministry of
Defences most prestigious warship projects. It is India's first IAC.

FPV: We recently constructed 20 FPVs for the Indian Coast Guard. The primary role of these vessels includes
fisheries protection and monitoring, patrol within Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), coastal patrol, anti-
smuggling, search and rescue operations and anti-piracy operations. These vessels also provide
communication links & escort convoys during time of war and hostility. These high speed boats are weight
sensitive and require extensive use of aluminium. We have developed special techniques to ensure high

shipyard. We have successfully completed the offshore project for spudcan repairs of Sagar Ratna at Bombay
High by loading her on a self-propelled submersible barge which required a high level of project management
efficiency with coordination of various activities and logistical support. Another project of similar nature was the
clamp on project of ONGC at HB, HD & HE platforms in Heera fields.

Our Operations

Shipbuilding Process

Construction and delivery of a vessel can generally range between 12 to 48 months depending on the type of ship.
We undertake new shipbuilding contracts taking into account the existing delivery schedules of our ongoing
projects.

The following diagram illustrates our shipbuilding process:

Payment Terms

The contract price is typically payable in instalments. Typically, 10-20% is paid at the time of signing of the
agreement and keel laying and the rest is paid immediately before the delivery of the vessel. The contracts also
usually provide for liquidated damages in the event of any delay in delivery. In certain instances, the contracts
also provide for an additional bonus payment in the event of construction and delivery ahead of schedule. We are
typically required to insure the vessel against all risks, typically from the time of keel-laying to the date of delivery
of the vessel to our customer. We typically provide a warranty period of 12 months following the delivery of the
vessel, which covers all parts of the vessel and equipment manufactured, furnished or supplied by us.

Quality Assurance and After Sales Service

We believe that the quality of our vessels and the services that we provide to our customers are crucial for our
continued growth. As of January 31, 2017, our quality control department consists of 60 personnel and is headed
by S Varadarajan, who has more than 30 years of experience in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry. As of
January 31, 2017, the department comprises of 14 officers and various support personnel.

Every commercial vessel built by us is certified by a qualified shipping classification society. A classification
society certifies that a vessel has been built in accordance with the rules of the society. Our ability to construct

123
vessels that conform to the different standards and requirements of these classification societies reflects our ability
to construct vessels that are acceptable worldwide.

We have an established set of quality control assurance and monitoring procedures applicable to every stage of
the vessel construction process. Visual inspections are conducted throughout the construction process for
adherence to the production and design blueprints. Weld joints are tested by various non-destructive testing
(NDT) procedures in accordance with the plan approved by the client and the relevant classification society.
We use advanced design software in our construction process. Equipment testing, system trials and sea trials are
conducted prior to delivery of the vessel to our customers. If rectification work is required as part of our
contractual arrangement, retrials are undertaken prior to delivery to ensure that the vessel meets all requirements
and specifications required.

In relation to ship repair, a quality control cell has been established which ensures quality in hull and machinery
repair. Quality control in hull repairs is ensured through testing of weld joints through NDT procedures in the
presence of representatives of classification societies. Quality of machinery repairs is ensured through testing of
systems and equipment in the presence of the owner's representative and with the help of OEM engineers.

Competition

We operate in a competitive environment and we expect to face greater competition from existing competitors
located both in India and globally, and in particular from shipyards in China, South Korea and Japan. We compete
on the basis of our ability to fulfil our contractual obligations including the timely delivery of vessels constructed
or repaired by us, our shipyard's capacity and capabilities and the price and quality of the vessels we construct.
Some of our competitors have more resources than us, while certain competitors may have lower cost of
operations. In addition, certain competitors may have competitive advantages in building or repairing certain
types of vessels compared to us. Our competitors in defence shipbuilding are Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders
Limited, Goa Shipyard Limited, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineering Limited, L&T Shipyard, and
Reliance Defence and Engineering limited. Our competitors in commercial shipbuilding in India include Bharati
Shipyard, ABG Shipyard, Reliance Defence and Engineering and L&T Shipyard.

We also face competition from L&T Shipyard, Reliance Defence and Engineering Limited and Hindustan
Shipyard in the defence ship repair segment and from Colombo dockyard, Dubai dry dock, Arab ship repair yard
and Keppel, Singapore in the commercial ship repair segment. For further details, see Industry Overview on
page 94.

Sales and Marketing

As of January 31, 2017, our business development department had 13 employees. We also use reputed
international ship brokers to develop business in foreign markets. We focus on targeting existing customers and
strive to further develop our relationship with our customers by providing a proactive after-delivery service and
responding to feedback. We believe that our customer-driven philosophy of quality, service and integrity leads
to close customer relationships, which provides us with opportunities to be invited to bid for new projects.

Human Resources

We have a group of dedicated, committed and highly skilled personnel and staff. As of January 31, 2017, our
Company employed a total workforce of 1,836 full-time employees, which comprised of 315 officers, 180
supervisors and 1,341 workmen and 990 trainees in various departments. All our employees are based in Kochi.
As of January 31, 2017, we also employed a minimum of 2,597 contract labour. Our contract workforce strength
undergoes regular change based on the necessity and work involved.

A significant number of our employees are unionized. We have collective agreements with various trade unions
that our employees are a part of. We believe that the relationship between our management and our employees is
good and we have not experienced any significant disputes with our employees in the last decade.

Employee Training

We recognise that our employees are an invaluable resource and that the competency and dedication of our
employees has been instrumental to our success. To help ensure that our employees are equipped with the
necessary skills and expertise, we conduct various training programs for our employees. Such training programs
are either conducted in-house by our senior staff or external faculty and they involve both classroom lessons and
on-the-job training by qualified instructors.

Property

Our registered office and corporate office are located on the same premises as our shipyard, which is on land
owned by us. The Dry Dock is proposed to be situated on our owned premises. However, we plan to set up the
ISRF on land leased, and to be leased, from the CoPT.

Insurance

Our shipbuilding contracts require us to maintain a builder's risk insurance policy and insure our vessels (including
all machinery, materials, equipment, appurtenances and outfit that are to be delivered to our customers for their
vessels or built onto, or installed in or upon their vessels, including supplies provided by our customers) against
all risks, typically from the time of keel-laying to the date of delivery of the vessels to our customers. The amount
insured is typically at least equivalent to the aggregate of the payments made to us by our customers or the contract

126
price. These insurance policies are in accordance with our shipbuilding contracts and we believe that they are
adequate for our business operations.

In relation to our ship repair contracts, we hold a ship repairer's liability insurance policy covering all vessels
under repair, which is renewed annually. We also arrange warranty insurance policies for the vessels delivered to
cover the guarantee obligations of our shipyard, on a case by case basis.

Furthermore, we maintain a standard fire and special perils insurance policy covering the whole factory and
associated assets, which is renewed every year in addition to our public liability insurance, directors and officers'
liability insurance and marine hull insurance.

We are required to contribute to social security contributions including provident fund contributions, gratuity,
pension, medical insurance and group personal accident insurance covering death, permanent partial disability or
permanent total disability due to work related accidents or otherwise of our employees in accordance with the
Indian legal and regulatory requirements. Except for the aforementioned policies which are required by law, we
have not taken up any other policies for our employees.

Health, Safety and Environment

We have an effective risk management system with self-regulatory processes and procedures for ensuring that
the business is conducted in a risk conscious manner. Under our risk management system, operational,
contractual, financial, business and reputational risks arising are assessed by the respective risk owners and
suitable mitigating measures are taken in advance.

We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe work environment on an ongoing basis. We are subject to
extensive health, safety and environmental laws, regulations and production process safety and environmental
technical guidelines which govern our processes and facilities. For further details, see Regulations and Policies
on page 129. We have implemented a health and safety system to inform new employees of our work and safety
policies. Our employees holding supervisory positions are required to ensure that all employees comply with
these policies.

We also focus on raising safety awareness among our employees and subcontractors workmen through various
in-house and onsite training programs. For example, in 2016, first aid training was given to employees across
departments to make the workplace safer, improve the team members' ability to save a life and prevent an injury
from becoming serious.

Industrial Security

The physical security of our shipyard has been entrusted to an external body. As per the security arrangements,
we have round-the-clock waterfront patrolling, with armed personnel and wireless CCTV surveillance systems
covering all critical locations and installations in our shipyard. We also have a biometric access control system
for various categories of persons entering our shipyard. There is a visitors facilitation centre for the scrutiny
and verification of the credentials of visitors to our Company.

Apart from this, additional special systems and measures continue to be employed for the complete security of
the IAC, such as an exclusive entry pass and special surveillance system and a special waterside security net.
We also have a cyber security policy in place.

Our security systems have not experienced any security breach or incident in the last three Fiscals. An industrial
security audit is conducted and a joint survey is conducted by us through an external agency annually.

Information Technology

Information technology is an essential element of our operations infrastructure. We invest in information

technology as its use directly lowers cost, enables scalable operations, improves efficiency, reduces business
continuity risks and enables a secure enterprise.

We use an integrated information technology system through ERP, which covers major aspects of our business,
including shipbuilding, ship repair and other areas of the shipyard as well as our administrative and corporate
departments. The stabilisation phase of our ERP system was completed in December, 2014. Our information

127
technology systems provide for the real time exchange of accurate information between our departments.

Awards and Accolades

2015. For further details, see History and Certain Corporate Matters Awards and Recognition on page 136.

Certifications

We have been accredited with ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System Standard, ISO 14001:2004
Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management
System.

Intellectual Property

We have filed applications for registration of four trademarks including our corporate logo, under the Trademarks
Act, which is currently pending approval from the Registrar of Trademarks. For more details, see Governmental
and Other Approvals on page 271.

We believe we are one of the first Indian companies to obtain a license from GTT to use the patented membrane
containment system known as the Mark III Flex Membrane Technology to construct liquefied gas carriers. This
license allows us to utilise any of GTT's integrated tank techniques for transporting liquid gas, particularly
liquefied natural gas.

Our business or profitability is not materially dependent on any patent, grant of license from third parties,
industrial, commercial or financial contract (including a contract with a customer or supplier) or new production
process.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We believe in corporate responsibility and contributing to the communities in which we operate. While being
focussed on sustained financial performance, we are also aware of the necessity and importance of social
stewardship. We seek to enrich the lives of future generations through our efforts to improve the lives of less

owner or handler is also required to take out an insurance policy insuring against liability under the legislation.
The rules made under the Public Liability Act mandate that the employer has to contribute towards the
environment relief fund, a sum equal to the premium paid on the insurance policies. This amount is payable

sectors), a new sub-category of shipyard was added under the category of transport. As the RBI
notification dated November 25, 2013 harmonised the RBI definition of infrastructure lending with the
Harmonised Master List of Infrastructure sub-sectors, the inclusion of shipyard as a new sub-category

rates of interest and for a longer tenure and issuance of bonds for meeting working capital requirements.
Further, RBI has recently brought in significant changes to the external commercial borrowing guidelines
(the ECB Guidelines) with respect to companies in the infrastructure and other related sectors. As per the
revised framework for the ECB Guidelines published vide A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 32 dated November
30, 2015 (Revised Framework for ECB Guidelines), companies in infrastructure sector have been placed
under track-II, i.e. long term ECB which effectively means that overseas borrowings by such entities shall
need to comply with 10 year minimum average maturity, unless ECB is denominated in INR. The term
infrastructure sector, for the purpose of the Revised Framework for ECB Guidelines, is defined as per the
Harmonised Master List of Infrastructure sub-sectors. Also, as per the Revised Framework for ECB
Guidelines, the restriction in respect of raising of ECB for general corporate purposes (including working
capital) has been done away with. The individual limits under automatic route for companies in infrastructure
and manufacturing sectors is upto USD 750 million or equivalent.

2. Changes in Accounting Policies:

There has been no change in Accounting Policies during the half year ended 30 th September 2016 , Fiscal
years ended 31st March 2016, 31st March 2015, 31st March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012

3. Other Adjustments

In the financial statements for the half year ended 30 th September 2016 ,Fiscal years ended 31st March
2016, 31st March 2015, 31st March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012, certain items of
income/expenses have been identified as adjustments pertaining to earlier years. These adjustments were
recorded in the year in which they were identified. However, for the purpose of Restated Financial
Statements, such adjustments have been appropriately recorded in the respective years to which the
transactions pertain. Adjustments related to financial years prior to year ended 31 st March 2012 have
172
been adjusted against the opening balance of the Restated Summary Statement of Profit and Loss
Account as at 1st April 2011. The details of such adjustments are as under:

(i) Prior Period Items

In the Financial statements for the half year ended 30th September 2016 ,Fiscal years ended 31st
March 2016, 31st March 2015, 31st March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012, certain
items of income/expenses have been identified as prior period items. For the purpose of this
statement, such prior period items have been appropriately adjusted in the respective years.

(ii) Depreciation and amortisation

Pursuant to the notification of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 (the 2013 Act), by the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs effective 1 April 2014, the Management has internally reassessed
and changed, wherever necessary the useful lives to compute depreciation, to conform to the
requirements of the 2013 Act, for Companies incorporated in India. Consequently, the carrying
amount as at 1st April 2014 is being depreciated over the revised remaining useful life of the
asset.

Accordingly, an amount of ` 38.51 millions (net of deferred Tax of ` 19.83millions)

representing the written down value of fixed asset with nil revised remaining useful life as at 1 st
April 2014 was reduced from the retained earnings as at such date. The same has been adjusted
in the respective years and in the balance brought forward in Profit and Loss Account as at 1 st
April 2011.

(iii) Effect of Indian Navy Acquired Asset restated

The claim for asset acquired/constructed to augment the construction of Indigenous Aircraft
Carrier ( Quay III expansion and allied works) was initially denied by Indian Navy and hence
accounted as Company's asset and repairs expense and depreciation claimed in the accounts
during the financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15.Later on during the financial year 2015-16 ,
after lot of deliberations Indian Navy accepted the claim. In the financial year 2015-16, when
Indian Navy agreed to fund these assets and paid off ` 81.18 millions to the Company, the
Company wrote back/credited back the depreciation and repairs charged during the two
previous years, and treated the asset as Indian Navy acquired asset in the Financial statements.
For restatement purpose, items such as depreciation written back, fixed assets, Indian Navy
acquired asset (asset on infrastructure), depreciation and repairs expense have been adjusted, so
as to reflect the original transaction of charging the asset as Indian Navy funded asset.

(iv) Excess Provision written back

In the financial statements for the half year ended 30 th September 2016, Fiscal years ended 31st
March 2016, 31st March 2015, 31st March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012, certain
Provisions created in earlier years were written back. For the purpose of Restatement, the said
provisions, wherever required have been appropriately adjusted in the respective years in which
the same were originally created and the balance brought forward in Profit and Loss Account
as at 1st April 2011.

In the case of ship repair contracts completed and invoices settled during the year, income
recognized is net of reductions due to price variation admitted. In the case of unsettled invoices,
the income is recognised net of estimated amount of reductions. Differences, if any, on
settlement are adjusted against income in the year of settlement. For the purpose of Restatement,
the said differences have been adjusted in the respective years in which income is recognized.

(v) Materialisation of Contingent Liabilities

In the financial statements for the half year ended 30 th September 2016, Fiscal years ended 31st
March 2016, 31st March 2015, 31st March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012,
contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to accounts and are not recognized in the books
of accounts . However during the said periods certain contingent liabilities had subsequently
materialised and were provided for only in the subsequent year. For the purpose of Restatement,
the said liabilities have been adjusted to the respective year in which the liability relates to,
including adjustment to the balance brought forward in Profit and Loss Account as at 1 st April
2011.

173
 (vi) Liabilities Provided related to earlier Years
During the years under consideration, certain liabilities have been identified by the Company,
which were required to be provided in earlier years. For the purpose of Restated Financial
Statements, provisions for liabilities pertaining to earlier years accounted for during the half
year ended 30th September 2016, Fiscal years ended 31st March 2016, 31st March 2015, 31st
March 2014, 31st March 2013 and 31st March 2012 have been adjusted in the respective financial
years to which they pertain and in the balance brought forward in Profit and Loss Account as at
1st April 2011.

(vii) Change in Contract Terms

In respect of Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) income, pending the signing of Phase II
Contract, the income in respect of Phase II activities completed during financial years 2013-14
and 2012-13 were recognised in financial year 2013-14 at the rate of Phase I Contract and the
same is qualified in Auditors Report 2013-14. Since the contract for phase II has been signed
between Indian Navy and the Company on 16-12-2014 (2014-15), the difference between Phase
I Rate and Phase II Rate is applied on Phase II activities performed during financial years 2012-
13 and 2013-14, and income is recognised in the financial year 2014-15 for the same. For

 SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDIAN GAAP AND IND AS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, which differs in certain material
respects from IND AS.
The following table summarizes certain of the areas in which differences between Indian GAAP and IND AS could
be significant to our financial position and results of operations. This summary should not be taken as an
exhaustive list of all the differences between Indian GAAP and IND AS. No attempt has been made to identify all
recognition and measurement, disclosures, presentation or classification differences that would affect the manner
in which transactions or events are presented in our financial statements (or notes thereto). Certain principal
differences between Indian GAAP and IND AS that may have a material effect on our financial statements are
summarized below. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided to investors that our financial statements would
not be materially different if prepared in accordance with IND AS.
Potential investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between
Indian GAAP and IND AS and how those differences might affect the financial information disclosed in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our
restated financial information which is included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The following discussion
and analysis of our financial condition is based on our restated financial statements for the half year ended
September 30, 2016 and the Fiscals ended March 31, 2016, March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 including the
related notes and reports, prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. Our restated financial statements have been derived from our audited financial statements. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects our current views with respect to future events and
financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors such as those described under Presentation of Financial, Industry and
Market Data, Risk Factors and Forward Looking Statements on pages 12, 17 and 15, respectively, and
elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Indian
accounting standards, which differ in material respects from IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

We have published Ind AS financial statements on December 14, 2016, comprising of selective financial
information in the format as prescribed under SEBI circular number CIR/IMD/DF1/69/2016 dated August 10,
2016 (SEBI Circular). The Ind AS financial statements have been prepared and published in order to comply
with the requirements prescribed under the SEBI Listing Regulations since our secured bonds are listed on the
BSE. The Ind AS financial statements comprise of selective financial information which have been (i) audited as
of September 30, 2016; and (ii) unaudited as of September 30, 2015. As the results for the prior period ended
September 30, 2015 are unaudited in compliance with the SEBI Circular, such Ind AS financial statements cannot
be included and do not form part of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For further details, see Risk Factors -
Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP, Ind AS
and IFRS, which may be material to investors assessments of our financial condition. and Significant
Differences Between Indian GAAP and Ind AS on pages 35 and 230 respectively.

Overview

We are the largest public sector shipyard in India in terms of dock capacity, as of March 31, 2015, according to
the CRISIL Report. We cater to clients engaged in the defence sector in India and clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide. In addition to shipbuilding and ship repair, we also offer marine engineering
training.

As of January 31, 2017, we have two docks dock number one, primarily used for ship repair (Ship Repair
Dock) and dock number two, primarily used for shipbuilding (Shipbuilding Dock). Our Ship Repair Dock is
one of the largest in India and enables us to accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT
(Source: CRISIL Report). Our Shipbuilding Dock can accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 110,000
DWT (Source: CRISIL Report).

We are in the process of constructing a new dock, a stepped dry dock (Dry Dock). This stepped dock will
enable longer vessels to fill the length of the dock and wider, shorter vessels and rigs to be built or repaired at the
wider part. We are also in the process of setting up an International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF), which includes
setting up a shiplift and transfer system.

In the last two decades, we have built and delivered vessels across broad classifications including bulk carriers,
tankers, Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTSs), barges, bollard
pull tugs, passenger vessels and Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs). We are currently building India's first Indigenous
Aircraft Carrier (IAC) for the Indian Navy. We have also grown our ship repair operations and are the only
commercial shipyard to have undertaken repair work of Indian Navy's aircraft carriers, the INS Viraat and INS
Vikramaditya.

Our diversified offerings to the Indian clients engaged in the defence sector and to clients engaged in the
commercial sector worldwide have allowed us to successfully adapt to the cyclical fluctuations of our industry.
Over the last five Fiscals, the break-down of our average operating revenues is set out below:

Clients engaged in the

Activity Commercial clients
defence sector
Shipbuilding 64.74% 20.60%

236
 Clients engaged in the
Activity Commercial clients
defence sector
Ship repair 7.46% 6.70%
Other operating revenue 0.47% 0.03%

Our current shipbuilding order book includes Phase-II of the IAC for the Indian Navy, two 500 passenger cum
150 ton cargo vessels and two 1,200 passenger cum 1,000 ton cargo vessels for the Andaman and Nicobar
Administration (A&N Administration), two Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) vessels for the Kochi Municipal
Corporation and a vessel for one of the Government of India's (GoI) projects. Our current ship repair order
book includes vessels from our key clients.

We recently delivered a large deck cargo cum launch barge to the National Petroleum Construction Company,
Abu Dhabi (NPCC) and the last FPV (in a series of 20) to the Indian Coast Guard.

We are a wholly-owned GoI company, incorporated on March 29, 1972 and were conferred the 'Miniratna' status
in 2008, by the Department of Public Enterprises, GoI. Our shipyard is strategically located along the west coast
of India, midway on the main sea route connecting Europe, West Asia and the Pacific Rim, a busy international
maritime route. In addition, our shipyard is located close to the Kochi port as well as to offshore oil fields on the
western coast of India and relatively close to the Middle East.

We commenced our operations in 1975 and have over four decades of experience in shipbuilding. We have in
the past delivered two of Indias largest double hull oil tankers, each of 92,000 DWT (Source: CRISIL Report)
to the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI). Over the years, we have successfully responded to fluctuations in
the shipbuilding requirements of the markets we operate in and have evolved from building bulk carriers to
building smaller and more technically sophisticated vessels such as PSVs and AHTSs. We have worked with
several leading technology firms in our industry including Rolls Royce Marine (Norway), and GTT (Gaztransport
& Technigaz) SA (GTT). We believe this has added to our credibility in the international markets. Our key
shipbuilding clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard and the SCI. We have also exported 45
ships to various commercial clients outside India such as NPCC, the Clipper Group (Bahamas) and Vroon
Offshore (Netherlands) and SIGBA AS (Norway).

We began our ship repair operations in 1978 and have undertaken repairs of various types of vessels including
upgradation of ships of the oil exploration industry as well as periodical maintenance, repairs and life extension
of ships. Our shipyard has, over the years, developed capabilities to handle various repair jobs. We have entered
into MoUs with various clients including with the Lakshadweep Development Corporation Limited (LDCL),
Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships (DGLL) and the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI)
giving us the opportunity to undertake ship repair work for these organisations on a bulk volume basis. Our key
ship repair clients include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, SCI, the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC) and DCI. We have also partnered with Techcross Inc. for technical support, engineering, service
support and sharing of information in relation to the Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) products.

Our Marine Engineering Training Institute at Kochi began in 1993, where we conduct marine engineering training
programs. These programs are approved by Director General of Shipping (DGS), GoI. We also operate a
material testing laboratory, which was established in 1972. Our material testing laboratory has been accredited
by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and is one of the leading
laboratories in Kerala in the field of chemical, mechanical and non-destructive testing of various materials
including metals, welds and alloys.

We have several certifications including the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2004 -
Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management
System. Our listed debentures have been rated AA+ by since 2014 by various agencies including India Ratings
and Research Private Limited (IRRPL) and CARE. We were also adjudged the Shipbuilding Company of the
Year in 2015 by the Gateway Awards. For further details of awards we have received, see History and Certain
Corporate Matters Awards and Recognition on page 136.

Our Company has posted profits continuously in the last five Fiscals. Our total revenues and PAT has increased
from `14,737.01 million and `1,553.28 million respectively, in Fiscal 2012 to `20,992.84 million and `2,858.29
million, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 at a CAGR of 9.25% and 16.47%, respectively. For the half year ended
September 30, 2016, our total revenues and PAT were `10,274.61 million and `1,845.24 million, respectively.

The following is a discussion of certain factors that have had, and continue to have, a significant effect on our
financial results:

Global and domestic demand and pricing for commercial and defence vessels

Demand for commercial vessels

Demand for commercial vessels of the type that we manufacture and sell depends principally upon overall trends
in the commercial shipping industry. The principal factors affecting shipbuilding demand in the segments in which
we operate include:

Global GDP growth and seaborne trade growth;

Prevailing commercial freight rates;
Age and condition of existing fleet of commercial vessels;
The cost of building new vessels compared to the cost of purchasing and/or repairing existing vessels;
Changes in laws or regulations that affect the types of ships that can be used to transport specified cargo, such
as crude oil; and
Viability of other modes of transport.

We believe that growth in the global economy and increases in world trade have brought about the recent growth
in the shipping industry and increased demand for vessels. Bulk carrier fleet demand is affected primarily by
growth in global seaborne trade. Bulk carrier operators have enjoyed robust freight rates in the last few years and
have steadily increased their fleets to take advantage of these favourable freight rates. We believe that the
Government of India intends to promote inland waterways and marine transportation with the development of 101
inland waterways, which may lead to the increase in demand for dredgers and small bulk carrier vessels.

We also expect a growth in demand for commercial vessels from regional port trusts, Indian PSUs and corporates
globally.

Demand for defence vessels

We expect a steady growth in demand for vessels for clients engaged in the defence sector in the near to short
term due to India's stated defence procurement policy. We believe that our leading position as a commercial
shipyard in India, multiple offerings and advanced capabilities put us in a good position to benefit from the recent
Make in India initiative introduced by the GoI pursuant to which a steady pipeline of future orders and
opportunities is expected from the defence sector as well as Indian PSUs.

The IAC we are building for the Indian Navy will form a substantial portion of our order book in the next few
years.

Ship-repair

Ship-repair is a key component of our business, in addition to shipbuilding, as we believe it provides us with good
margins. We enjoy a degree of exclusivity in the ship-repair business as only few of our competitors in India have
a ship-repair offering of our size and capability. We believe that the GoI intends to promote inland waterways and
marine transportation, which may lead to growth in the number of ship-repair orders. To be able to cater to this
growing demand, we are in the process of setting up the ISRF, a new facility exclusively for ship-repairing near
our existing premises.

Pricing

New vessel prices are largely determined by the supply of shipbuilding berths and demand for new vessels.
Various other factors also influence the price of new vessels, including:

Vessel prices vary according to the particular specifications of the new vessel. For example, custom designed
vessels built to meet a buyers specific requirements typically cost more than ships ordered in accordance
with a shipyards standard specifications;

238
 Certain shipbuilding countries have a competitive advantage over their competitors due to lower costs,
enabling their shipyards to offer customers lower prices. We benefit from low-cost skilled labour vis--vis
overseas yards and various incentives and subsidies the Indian government has offered and intends to offer
in the future; and

The size of a particular order can also have an impact on price. Shipbuilders can achieve economies of scale
associated with larger orders, both in respect to the size of the vessel and the number of vessels, and therefore
are generally willing to offer price discounts for larger orders.

New vessel prices for different ship types move, to a large extent, in parallel with one another so that a reduced
demand in one sector may reduce prices in another sector. New vessel prices are a function of the supply of berths
to the whole market and not just to individual sectors.

Capacity limitations

Our production capacity is limited by, amongst other things, the size of our shipyards, the number, size and
capacities of our slipways, berths, docks (including the New Dry Dock and the ISRF which are under construction)
and our plant and equipment. In addition, the size and capacity of the vessels we construct is limited by the
locations at which we operate. Currently, we are limited to the construction of vessels of up to 110,000 DWT and
ship-repairing of up to 125,000 DWT at our existing facilities. These limitations have restricted our ability to
expand our business by constructing larger vessels, for which we believe there is greater demand and on which
we believe we can achieve better profit margins, and by increasing our annual output.

Upon completion of the New Dry Dock, we anticipate that we will be able to build higher capacity vessels and
repair of Offshore Rigs. See Risk Factors The environmental clearance for our new Dry Dock is subject to
the final order in the matter of Goa Foundation v. Union of India and amongst others, the prior clearance of the
Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 20 for a description of certain risks related to
our New Dry Dock.

Order backlog and new orders

We accept orders for different types of ships based on a number of factors, including:
the margins we expect to achieve on the different types of vessels we construct;
the reputation of the ship-owners placing the orders;
our projected capacity utilisation level during the period in which the vessel would be required to be
constructed; and
status of order book and order backlog at the time of receiving orders.

The new orders that we receive for the construction of vessels and our order backlog, or order book, have a
significant effect on our future revenues. We generally accept orders for construction of vessels to be delivered
up to 12 months to 48 months from the date of the order. As of January 31, 2017, we had orders for vessels to be
delivered from 2017 through 2020.

Productivity

Our production volumes, margins and profitability depend to a significant extent on our production efficiencies.
We use a combination of man-hours available and our tonnage capacity to estimate our productivity. Our
productivity is also affected by the number of hours we operate. We are constrained in our ability to increase the
number of shifts at our shipyard. Although we have not experienced any significant shutdowns in the past, any
significant shutdowns in the future would adversely affect our productivity.

Cost of skilled labour

Competition for skilled shipyard labour and engineers in India is intense and as we and others expand our and
their operations, this competition may increase. We may from time to time, experience an inability to attract and
retain highly skilled employees or increased costs to do so. Labour shortages could increase our production cost
and hinder our productivity and ability to meet our customers delivery schedule. Further, we utilise subcontract
labour and production workers in our shipyard on a regular basis. In the event that we are unable to secure required
subcontract labour and production workers at an acceptable cost or with the required skill sets, we may face an

239
increase in cost, delay in delivery schedule and a decrease in quality of our vessels which could lead to an adverse
impact on our results of operations.

Changes in Segment Contribution to Revenue

The contribution of a particular segment to our total revenue for each year depends on the orders we receive from
customers, the scheduled delivery dates of vessels and the contract prices that we are able to secure for the different
types of vessels. A major portion of our order book in the near-term will be the IAC we are building for the Indian
Navy. The division of our revenues from defence and commercial projects depends on our order book. Once our
New Dry Dock is ready, we will able to build other types of vessels as well given our increased capacity and we
plan to increase our product lines to build larger, more complex vessels with higher profit margins and more
advanced technology. Results of our performance may change as the mix of our vessels changes and our past
performance may not be indicative of our future results. We expect a greater volume of ship repair orders in the
near future which may result in lower revenue but higher margins.

Depreciation and amortisation expenses

We had net block of fixed assets of `3,682.21 million as of September 30, 2016 and ` 3,702.19 million as of
March 31, 2016, that was subject to depreciation. Our total depreciation and amortisation expenses in the six-
month period ended September 30, 2016 and Fiscals 2016, 2015 and 2014 were ` 188.40 million, ` 371.93 million,
` 376.98 million and ` 253.22 million, respectively. We expect our depreciation expenses to increase as a result
of the construction of our New Dry Dock and ISRF.

Taxation

The Government of India has proposed a comprehensive national GST regime that will combine taxes and levies
by the Central and state Governments into a unified rate structure. Given the limited availability of information in
the public domain concerning GST, we have not been able to do an impact analysis of GST on our business and
results of operations and we are unable to provide any assurance as to the tax regime following implementation
of GST. The implementation of this new structure may be affected by any disagreement between certain state
Governments, which could create uncertainty. Any such future amendments may affect our overall tax efficiency,
and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.

Significant accounting policies

(i) Basis of preparation of financial statements

1. The Restated Financial Statements have been prepared under Indian Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (IGAAP) and in accordance with the requirements of:

(a) section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 4 to Rule 6 of the
of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014;

(b) item (IX) of Part A of Schedule VIII of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of
Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 as amended to date in pursuance of
provisions of Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 read along with the SEBI
circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated March 31, 2016 on Clarification
regarding disclosures in Offer Documents under the SEBI Regulations issued by the Securities
and Exchange Board of India in connection with the Proposed Initial Public Offering of Equity
Shares of the Company.

(ii) Use of estimates

In the preparation of financial statements, the management makes estimates and assumptions in
conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India. Such estimates and assumptions
are made on reasonable and prudent basis taking into account all available information. However actual
results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and such differences are recognized in the
period in which results are ascertained.

(iii) Depreciation on Tangible Assets

Tangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and impairment if any.
Cost comprises of purchase price, inward freight, duties, taxes and any attributable cost of bringing the

240
 assets to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on existing fixed
assets is added to their book value only if such expenditure increases the future benefits from the existing
assets beyond their previously assessed standard of performance Capital work in progress comprises of
the cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date. Depreciation on
fixed assets is provided on straight-line method based on useful life of the asset as prescribed in Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following items:

For the assets acquired from Cochin Port Trust for ISRF, depreciation is provided on the basis of useful
life as assessed by technical experts.

(iv) Amortisation of Intangible Assets

Cost incurred on Design Development which are not directly chargeable on a product are capitalized as
Intangible Asset and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of five years. Cost of software
which is not an integral part of the related hardware acquired for internal use is capitalised as intangible
asset and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of three years. Up- front fee paid for securing
right to use of land and other facility is capitalized as intangible asset and amortised on a straight line
basis over the period of 30 years for which the right has been obtained. Cost of internally generated
software is capitalized as 'Intangible Asset' and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of three
years.

(v) Impairment of Assets

The company assesses the impairment of assets with reference to each cash generating unit, at each
Balance Sheet date. If events or changes in circumstances based on internal and external factors indicate
that the carrying value may not be recoverable in full, the loss on account and the recoverable amount is
accounted for accordingly.

(vi) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the
date of such investments are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as
Non-current. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Non-current investments are
valued at cost unless there is a permanent diminution in the value thereof.

(vii) Revenue Recognition

Contracts for the construction of ships and small crafts (Other than Defence Vessels)

The income from ship building is recognized on percentage of completion method, in proportion to the
cost incurred for the work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract cost,
considering the physical progress or financial progress, whichever is lower. Where current estimates of
total contract costs and revenue indicate a loss, provision is made for the entire loss, irrespective of the
amount of work done.

Construction of Defence vessels

Income from the construction of vessels which are on fixed price basis is recognized on percentage of
completion method, in proportion to the cost incurred for the work performed up to the reporting date
bear to the estimated total contract cost, considering the physical progress or financial progress,
whichever is lower. Where current estimates of total contract costs and revenue indicate a loss, provision
is made for the entire loss, irrespective of the amount of work done.

Construction of Indigenous Aircraft Carrier

In the case of construction of IAC which is partly fixed price basis and partly cost plus basis, the income
from fixed price part is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Income from cost plus
part of the contract activities for design outsourcing and material procurement are recognized when the
activities are performed / materials received/ payments made. Cost of material and other expenses
incurred for the vessel which are recoverable separately from Navy is charged off to the statement of
Profit and Loss and are grossed up with the value of work done and recognized as income.

Contracts for repair of ships/ offshore structures

Income from repair of ships /offshore structures is recognized based on proportionate completion method
when proportionate performance of each ship repair activity exceeds 75%. The proportionate progress is

241
 measured by the Companys technical evaluation of the percentage of physical completion of each job.
Revenue is recognized after taking into consideration possible contingencies with reference to the
realisable value of work done. In the case of ship repair contracts completed and invoices settled during
the year, income recognized is net of reductions due to price variation admitted. In the case of unsettled
invoices, the income is recognised net of estimated amount of reductions. Differences, if any, on
settlement are adjusted against income in the year of settlement.

Excise Duty
The products manufactured by the Company such as ships / ship repair are exempted from the purview
of excise duty.

Liquidated damages and interest on advances

No income has been recognized on account of (a) interest on advances given and (b) liquidated damages,
where the levies depend on decisions regarding force majeure condition of contract. These are accounted
for on completion of contracts and / or when final decisions are taken.

Others
Dividend income is recognized when the Companys right to receive is established.

(viii) Inventories
(a) Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at weighted average cost method or net
realisable value whichever is lower. Provision for obsolescence / non- usability / deterioration is
determined on the basis of technical assessment made by the management. Goods in transit are
valued at cost. Stock of materials in respect of construction of vessels for clients engaged in the
defence sector wherein the cost incurred is reimbursed by the owner are shown as reduction from
the advances paid by the owner for construction of the vessel.

(b) Work in progress

(i) For Ship Building: Work in progress is recognised only when the percentage of physical
completion is less than the financial completion, in which case the cost proportionate to excess
of percentage of financial completion over physical completion is treated as Work in progress.
In the case of Indigenous Aircraft Carrier since all the materials belongs to Indian Navy, work
in progress is not recognized.

(ii) Work in progress of ships/offshore structures under repair, which have not reached 75% stage
of physical completion and general engineering jobs are valued at cost. Work- in- progress of
ships where physical construction has not started is also valued at cost.

(c) Loose tools stock is valued at cost and tools in use are revalued after providing for loss on revaluation
estimated at 30% of book value.

(d) Stock of scrap is valued at net realisable value after adjusting customs duty, if any, payable on the
scrap.

(ix) Advance/progress payments received

Advance/progress payments received from customers in respect of repair work of ships/offshore
structures are shown as deduction from the amount of work in progress in respect of income recognized
under proportionate completion method. In the case of ship building, the advance payment received is
adjusted only when the ship is invoiced.

(x) Employee benefits

(a) Liability in respect of defined benefit plan is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation as on the
date of Balance Sheet. The method of actuarial valuation adopted is the Projected Unit Credit
method.

(b) Liability for payment of gratuity is determined by actuarial valuation as per Accounting Standard 15
(Revised) and funded to Employees Group Gratuity Trust as per Rules.

242
 (c) Defined contribution to Employees PF and Employees Pension Scheme, 1995 are made on a
monthly basis as per respective statutes.
(d) Liability in respect of leave entitlement is made on actuarial valuation basis at the year end and
provided for as per Accounting Standard 15 (Revised).

(xi) Borrowing cost

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition/ construction or production of
qualifying assets are capitalized as part of cost of such assets upto the date when such assets are ready
for intended use. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready
for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period in which they are incurred.

(xii) Prior period adjustment

Prior period adjustments and extra ordinary items having material impact on the financial affairs of the
Company are disclosed.

(xiii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded adopting the exchange rate prevailing on the dates of
respective transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies existing as on
the Balance Sheet date are translated at the exchange rate prevailing as at the Balance Sheet date. The
exchange difference arising from the settlement of transactions during the period and effect of
translations of assets and liabilities at the Balance Sheet date are recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss account.

Derivative instruments and hedge accounting

The company uses foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign
currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions.
The company designated these as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles
set out in the Accounting standards 30 - Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement, issued by
the ICAI. The use of foreign currency and derivative contracts is governed by the Companys policies
approved by the Board of directors which provide written principles on the use of such financial
derivatives consistent with the Companys risk management strategy. The company does not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Foreign currency derivative instruments are
initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in the fair
value of these derivatives that are designated as effective cash flow hedges are recognized in Hedge
Reserve Account under Shareholders Funds and the ineffective portion is recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for
hedge accounting are recognized in the Statement of profit and Loss as and when they arise. Hedge
accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no
longer qualifies for hedge accounting. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net
cumulative gain or loss recognized in reserves is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(xiv) Earnings Per Share

Basic/diluted Earnings per share reported is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax for the year
(including post tax effect of any extraordinary items) by the weighted average number of equity
shares/dilutive potential equity shares outstanding as at the end of the year as the case may be.

(xv) Taxes on Income

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year computed
in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax liability or assets is
recognized at subsequently enacted tax rates, subject to the consideration of prudence, on timing
difference, being the difference between the taxable income and accounting income that originate in one
period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized
only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available,
except that deferred tax asset that arising due to unabsorbed depreciation and losses are recognized if
there is a virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realise the same.

243
(xvi) Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal 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 the best estimate of the outflow of economic benefits
required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Provision towards guarantee claims in respect of
ships/ small crafts delivered wherever provided /maintained is based on technical estimation. As per
revised policy, for ships delivered, the guarantee claims are covered by way of insurance policies
covering the guarantee period on case to case basis, where ever required. Contingent liability is disclosed
when the company has a possible obligation or a present obligation and it is probable that a cash flow
will not be required to settle the obligation. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the
accounts.

(xvii) Segment Reporting

Identification of segments
The Companys operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of
products and services provided.

Unallocated items
Unallocated items include general income and expense items which are not allocated to any business
segment.

(xviii) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (Loss) before extraordinary items
and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past
or future of cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities
of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015

Revenue from operations

Our total revenue increased to `20,992.84 million in Fiscal 2016 from `16,632.30 million in Fiscal 2015 which
was an increase by 26.22% due to the reasons described below:

Revenue from operations: Our revenue from operations increased by 25.61% to `19,924.50 million in Fiscal 2016
from `15,861.57 million in Fiscal 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the revenue from
building the IAC by `3,955.46 million and from repair of vessels by `1,662.84 million which was partially off-
set by a decrease in the revenue from building of other vessels by `1,392.79 million.

Other Income: Our other income also increased by 38.61% to `1,068.34 million in Fiscal 2016 from `770.73
million in Fiscal 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income from bank deposits of
`460.11 million. Our other income as a percentage of total income was 5.09% for Fiscal 2016 as compared to
4.63% for the Fiscal 2015.

246
Expenses
Our total expenditure increased by 6.78% to `16,564.47 million in Fiscal 2016 from `15,513.09 million in Fiscal
2015, due to the factors described below:

Cost of material consumed: Our cost of material consumed increased by 5.35% to `10,543.22 million in Fiscal
2016 from `10,008.08 million in Fiscal 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the cost of steel
consumed by `641.38 million, due to the higher volume of shipbuilding and ship-repair work, which was partially
offset by a decrease in the cost of bought out components by `220.27 million.

Change in Inventory of Work in Progress: Our change in inventory of work-in-progress decreased by 14.48% to

building of the IAC by `3,165.36 million (due to delayed signing of the Phase-II contract) and from the repair of
fewer vessels by `308.81 million. This was partially off-set by an increase in the revenue from building of other

Liquidity and capital resources

Over the past three years and six months, we have been able to finance our working capital requirements through
cash generated from our operations and bank loans and facilities. We have relied on cash from internal resources
and loans from banks to finance the expansion of our business and operations. We believe that after taking into
account the expected cash to be generated from our business and operations and the proceeds from our bank loans,

248
we have sufficient working capital for our present requirements and anticipated requirements for capital
expenditures and other cash requirements for 12 months following the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
As of September 30, 2016, we had `17,190.92 million of cash and bank balances.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

General
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or to 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
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, 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, foreign currency payables and debt.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Changes in currency exchange rates influence our results of operations. A major portion of our revenues,
particularly relating to our international orders, is denominated in currencies other than Indian Rupees, most
significantly the U.S. dollar. The appreciation of the Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar and other foreign
currencies may adversely affect our results of operations. We incur currency transaction risks whenever we enter
into a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than our functional currency such as in relation to the
import of raw materials. Although we enter into hedging transactions to minimize our currency exchange risks,
there can be no assurance that such measures will enable us to avoid the effect of any adverse fluctuations in the
value of the Indian Rupee against the relevant foreign currencies.

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to market risks related to the volatility in the price of our raw materials like steel, pipe and paint
and bought out components. Our financial results can be affected significantly by fluctuations in these prices,
which depend on many factors, including demand for these materials, changes in the economy, worldwide
production levels, worldwide inventory levels and disruptions in the supply chain.

Credit Risk
Any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, or worldwide, resulting in an adverse impact on economic
conditions may impinge upon our ability to finance our developments and expansions.

Inflation Risk
Our Company is incorporated in India, and almost all our assets and employees are located in India. As a result
we are highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operations are significantly
affected by factors influencing the Indian economy. Any increase in inflation in India may adversely affect our
results of operations by increasing our costs such as the price of raw materials, the cost of power and transportation
costs.

Reservations, qualifications and adverse remarks

There are no reservations, qualifications and adverse remarks by our statutory auditor for the half year ended
September 30, 2016 and the Fiscals 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, except as follows:

assessment of physical completion. The auditors have placed reliance on the technical assessment and activity
based cost estimates provided by the Company for the purpose of income recognition.

estimate.

Fiscal 2014

confirmation by the parties.

Fiscal 2013 and 2012

Liabilities towards unsettled and incomplete sub-contract work, at the end of the year have been accounted

Effect of using estimates for arriving at the total cost of the contract for the purpose of recognition of income
from ship building contracts under percentage completion method, recognition of anticipated loss on ship
building contracts and for recognition of income from ship repair activities under proportionate completion
method and reduction from invoice value for arriving at the ship repair turnover and the consequent impact,
if any, on the profitability and current assets as on the balance sheet date is not ascertainable.

India has decided to adopt the Convergence of its existing standards with IFRS not IFRS. These IFRS based/
synchronised Accounting Standards are referred to in India as Ind AS. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs,
Government of India, has through a notification dated February 16, 2015, set out the Ind AS and the timelines for
their implementation. Accordingly, our Company is required to prepare its financial statements in accordance with
Ind AS from April 1, 2016. Given that Ind AS is different in many respects from Indian GAAP under which our
financial statements are currently prepared, our financial statements for the period commencing from April 1,
2016 may not be fully comparable to our historical financial statements.

See Risk Factor Public companies in India, including us, are required to compute Income Tax under the Income
Computation and Disclosure Standards (the ICDS). The transition to ICDS in India is very recent and we may
be negatively affected by such transition. on page 35. The key highlights of this transition to Ind AS are set out
in Significant Differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS on page 230. This is an indicative list of significant
line items only and is provided for convenience only. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Investors should
seek specific advice from their advisors in relation to the impact of transition to Ind AS.

 SECTION VI: LEGAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
OUTSTANDING LITIGATION AND OTHER MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS
Except as stated in this section, there are no outstanding: (i) criminal proceedings; (ii) actions by statutory/
regulatory authorities; (iii) indirect and direct tax proceedings; and (iv) other material litigations; involving our
Company and Directors. Our Board, in its meeting held on January 24, 2017, adopted a policy on identification
of group companies, material creditors and material litigations (Materiality Policy).

As per the Materiality Policy, for the purposes of (iv) above, all the outstanding litigation involving our Company:
(a) where the amounts involved in such litigation exceed 5% of the net profit after tax of our Company (as per the
latest audited financial statements of our Company) are to be considered as material pending litigation; (b) where
the decision in one case is likely to affect the decision in similar cases, even though the amount involved in an
individual litigation does not exceed 5% of the net profit after tax of our Company (as per the latest audited
financial statements of our Company); and (c) and other litigation which does not meet the criteria set out in (a)
and (b) above and whose adverse outcome would materially and adversely affect the operations or financial
position of our Company, have been disclosed in this Section.

Additionally, as per the Materiality Policy, for the purposes of (iv) above, all outstanding litigation involving our
Directors, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect the reputation, operations or
financial position of our Company, have been considered as material litigation and disclosed in this section.

Accordingly, the materiality threshold for (iv) above, for our Company is ` 137.52 million (i.e. 5% of the net profit
after tax of our Company i.e., ` 2,750.31 million, as per the audited financial statements of our Company) for
Fiscal 2016.

Further, except as stated in this section, there are no: (i) pending proceedings initiated against our Company for
economic offences; (ii) default and non - payment of statutory dues by our Company; (iii) inquiries, inspections
or investigations initiated or conducted under the Companies Act or any previous companies law in the last five
years against our Company from the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus; (iv) material frauds committed
against our Company in the last five years; (v) overdues to banks or financial institutions by our Company; (vi)
defaults against banks or financial institutions by our Company; (vii) fines imposed or compounding offences
against our Company; (viii) proceedings initiated against our Company for economic offences; (ix) matters
involving our Company pertaining to violation of securities law, and (x) outstanding dues to material creditors
and material small scale undertakings.

As per the Materiality Policy, outstanding dues to creditors in excess of 5% of the total trade payables as per last
audited financial statements of our Company are to be considered as material outstanding dues. Accordingly, the
threshold for material dues would be 5% of total trade payable as at September 30, 2016 i.e. 5% of ` 3,557.15
million which is ` 177.86 million. For ease of disclosure, our Board has determined the outstanding dues in excess
of ` 177.86 million to be material dues and the same has been accordingly disclosed in this section. Further, all
outstanding dues have been disclosed in a consolidated manner in this section. Details of material outstanding dues
to creditors and details of outstanding dues to small scale undertakings and other creditors are disclosed on our
website at http://cochinshipyard.com/investors.htm.

Court). The special leave petition was allowed and the matter was heard as civil appeal bearing

Goa Foundation (Petitioner) filed a public interest litigation (writ petition bearing number 460 of
2004), against the Union of India before the Supreme Court of India (the Court) in relation to
operation of certain units which had not obtained prior environmental clearance in contravention of a
Central Government notification dated January 27, 1994. The Court, pursuant to an order dated February
21, 2005, directed the Central Government to issue requisite orders for the closure of all defaulting units
continuing in violation of environmental laws. Accordingly, the Central Government issued an order
dated March 2, 2005, directing the defaulting units to be closed down. The March 2, 2005 order was
subsequently stayed by the Court pursuant to an order dated March 11, 2005 since some of the
applications for the grant of environmental clearance were pending with the Ministry of Environment
and Forests (MoEF). The MoEF subsequently assisted the Court in identification of defaulting units
which were subsequently closed pursuant to an order dated May 11, 2005. The May 11, 2005 order did
not apply to certain coal mines, units which had obtained a valid environmental clearance and units
whose environmental clearance were being deliberated by the MoEF. The Petitioner had subsequently
contended that the MoEF while granting environmental clearances to units situated in close proximity
to wildlife sanctuaries had not considered a decision dated January 21, 2002 of the Indian Board of
Wildlife, to notify the areas within 10 kilometres of the boundaries of national parks and sanctuaries as
eco-sensitive zones (the IBW Decision). The MoEF in its response stated that subsequent to the IBW
Decision, the MoEF had requested all Chief Wildlife Wardens of all States and Union Territories for
initiating measures for identification of suitable areas and submit detailed proposals at the earliest per
the IBW Decision. The MoEF further stated that some of the states had raised a concern that most of
the human habitation and other areas including important cities in these states would come under the
purview of eco-sensitive zones and would adversely affect development. The National Board for
Wildlife in its meeting held on March 17, 2005 had decided that delineation of eco-sensitive areas
would have to be site specific and relate to regulation, rather than prohibition, of specific activities.
The MoEF had also sent a letter dated May 27, 2005 to all the Chief Wildlife Wardens to initiate suitable
measures for the identification of the suitable areas and submit detailed proposals. The Court thereafter,
pursuant to its order dated December 4, 2006, directed the MoEF to give a final opportunity to the States
/ Union Territories to respond to the letter dated May 27, 2005 within four weeks failing which the
Court would implement the IBW Decision. The Court further directed that in all cases where
environmental clearances were granted for activities within the 10 kilometres zone such cases be
referred to the standing committee of the National Board for Wildlife. The Court further stated that the
letter dated May 27, 2005 is a departure from decision taken on January 21, 2002 and that this departure
is being considered in another case. The MoEF had subsequently filed an affidavit on the proposals
received by it from the various states. The MoEF has also released guidelines for declaration of eco-
sensitive zones around national parks and wildlife sanctuaries on February 9, 2011. The matter is
currently pending. For further details see Risk Factors The environmental clearance for our new Dry
Dock is subject to the final order in the matter of Goa Foundation vs Union of India and amongst others,
the prior clearance of the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. on page 20.

5.6 BASIS OF ALLOCATION
(a) The SEBI ICDR Regulations specify the allocation or Allotment that may be made to various
categories of Bidders/Applicants in an Issue depending on compliance with the eligibility
conditions. Certain details pertaining to the percentage of Issue size available for allocation to
each category is disclosed overleaf of the Bid cum Application Form and in the RHP/Prospectus.
For details in relation to allocation, the Bidder/Applicant may refer to the RHP/Prospectus.
(b) Under-subscription in any category (except QIB Portion) is allowed to be met with spill-over
from any other category or combination of categories at the discretion of the Issuer and in
consultation with the BRLMs and the Designated Stock Exchange and in accordance with the
SEBI ICDR Regulations. Unsubscribed portion in QIB Category is not available for
subscription to other categories.
(c) In case of under subscription in the Net Issue, spill-over to the extent of such under-subscription
may be permitted from the Reserved Portion to the Issue. For allocation in the event of an under-
subscription applicable to the Issuer, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the RHP.
(d) Illustration of the Book Building and Price Discovery Process
Bidders should note that this example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the
Issue; it also excludes Bidding by Anchor Investors.
Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of `20 to
`24 per share, issue size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders, details of
which are shown in the table below. The illustrative book given below shows the demand for
the equity shares of the issuer company at various prices and is collated from bids received from
various investors.

Cumulative
Bid Quantity Bid Price (`) Subscription
Quantity
500 24 500 16.70%

333
 Cumulative
Bid Quantity Bid Price (`) Subscription
Quantity
1,000 23 1,500 50.00%
1,500 22 3,000 100.00%
2,000 21 5,000 166.70%
2,500 20 7,500 250.00%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the
issuer is able to issue the desired number of equity shares is the price at which the book cuts off,
i.e., `22.00 in the above example. The issuer, in consultation with the book running lead
managers, will finalise the issue price at or below such cut-off price, i.e., at or below `22.00.
All bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for
allocation in the respective categories.
(e) Alternate Method of Book Building
In case of FPOs, Issuers may opt for an alternate method of Book Building in which only the
Floor Price is specified for the purposes of Bidding (Alternate Book Building Process).
The Issuer may specify the Floor Price in the RHP or advertise the Floor Price at least one
Working Day prior to the Bid/ Issue Opening Date. QIBs may Bid at a price higher than the
Floor Price and the Allotment to the QIBs is made on a price priority basis. The Bidder with the
highest Bid Amount is allotted the number of Equity Shares Bid for and then the second highest
Bidder is Allotted Equity Shares and this process continues until all the Equity Shares have been
allotted. RIBs, NIBs and Employees are Allotted Equity Shares at the Floor Price and Allotment
to these categories of Bidders is made proportionately. If the number of Equity Shares Bid for
at a price is more than available quantity then the Allotment may be done on a proportionate
basis. Further, the Issuer may place a cap either in terms of number of specified securities or
percentage of issued capital of the Issuer that may be Allotted to a single Bidder, decide whether
a Bidder be allowed to revise the bid upwards or downwards in terms of price and/or quantity
and also decide whether a Bidder be allowed single or multiple bids.

SECTION 6: ISSUE PROCEDURE IN FIXED PRICE ISSUE

Applicants may note that there is no Bid cum Application Form in a Fixed Price Issue. As the Issue Price is
mentioned in the Fixed Price Issue therefore on filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, the Application so submitted
is considered as the application form.
Applicants may only use the specified Application Form for the purpose of making an Application in terms of the
Prospectus which may be submitted through the Designated Intermediary.
Applicants may submit an Application Form either in physical form to the any of the Designated Intermediaries
or in the electronic form to the SCSB or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs authorising blocking of funds that
are available in the bank account specified in the Application Form only (ASBA Account). The Application
Form is also made available on the websites of the Stock Exchanges at least one day prior to the Bid/ Issue Opening
Date.
In a fixed price Issue, allocation in the net Issue to the public category is made as follows: minimum 50% to Retail
Individual Bidders; and remaining to (i) individual investors other than Retail Individual Bidders; and (ii) other
Applicants including corporate bodies or institutions, irrespective of the number of specified securities applied
for. The unsubscribed portion in either of the categories specified above may be allocated to the Applicants in the
other category.
For details of instructions in relation to the Application Form, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the relevant section
of the GID.
SECTION 7: ALLOTMENT PROCEDURE AND BASIS OF ALLOTMENT
The Allotment of Equity Shares to Bidders/Applicants other than Retail Individual Bidders and Anchor Investors
may be on proportionate basis. For Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to
RHP/Prospectus. No Retail Individual Bidder will be Allotted less than the minimum Bid Lot subject to
availability of shares in Retail Individual Bidder Category and the remaining available shares, if any will be
Allotted on a proportionate basis. The Issuer is required to receive a minimum subscription of 90% of the Net
Issue (excluding any Offer for Sale of specified securities). However, in case the Issue is in the nature of Offer
for Sale only, then minimum subscription may not be applicable.

334
7.1 ALLOTMENT TO RIBs
Bids received from the RIBs at or above the Issue Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Retail
Category at or above the Issue Price, full Allotment may be made to the RIBs to the extent of the valid
Bids. If the aggregate demand in this category is greater than the allocation to in the Retail Category at
or above the Issue Price, then the maximum number of RIBs who can be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot
will be computed by dividing the total number of Equity Shares available for Allotment to RIBs by the
minimum Bid Lot (Maximum RIB Allottees). The Allotment to the RIBs will then be made in the
following manner:
(a) In the event the number of RIBs who have submitted valid Bids in the Issue is equal to or less
than Maximum RIB Allottees, (i) all such RIBs shall be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot; and (ii)
the balance available Equity Shares, if any, remaining in the Retail Category shall be Allotted
on a proportionate basis to the RIBs who have received Allotment as per (i) above for the
balance demand of the Equity Shares Bid by them (i.e. who have Bid for more than the minimum
Bid Lot).
(b) In the event the number of RIBs who have submitted valid Bids in the Issue is more than
Maximum RIB Allottees, the RIBs (in that category) who will then be Allotted minimum Bid
Lot shall be determined on the basis of draw of lots.
7.2 ALLOTMENT TO NIBS
Bids received from NIBs at or above the Issue Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. The Allotment to all successful NIBs may be made at or above the Issue
Price. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Non-Institutional Category at
or above the Issue Price, full Allotment may be made to NIBs to the extent of their demand. In case the
aggregate demand in this category is greater than the Non-Institutional Category at or above the Issue
Price, Allotment may be made on a proportionate basis up to a minimum of the Non-Institutional
Category.
7.3 ALLOTMENT TO QIBs
For the Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the SEBI ICDR
Regulations or RHP/Prospectus. Bids received from QIBs Bidding in the QIB Category (net of Anchor
Portion) at or above the Issue Price may be grouped together to determine the total demand under this
category. The QIB Category may be available for Allotment to QIBs who have Bid at a price that is equal
to or greater than the Issue Price. Allotment may be undertaken in the following manner:
(a) In the first instance allocation to Mutual Funds for up to 5% of the QIB Category may be
determined as follows: (i) In the event that Bids by Mutual Fund exceeds 5% of the QIB
Category, allocation to Mutual Funds may be done on a proportionate basis for up to 5% of the
QIB Category; (ii) In the event that the aggregate demand from Mutual Funds is less than 5%
of the QIB Category then all Mutual Funds may get full Allotment to the extent of valid Bids
received above the Issue Price; and (iii) Equity Shares remaining unsubscribed, if any and not
allocated to Mutual Funds may be available for Allotment to all QIBs as set out at paragraph
7.4(b) below;
(b) In the second instance, Allotment to all QIBs may be determined as follows: (i) In the event of
oversubscription in the QIB Category, all QIBs who have submitted Bids above the Issue Price
may be Allotted Equity Shares on a proportionate basis for up to 95% of the QIB Category; (ii)
Mutual Funds, who have received allocation as per (a) above, for less than the number of Equity
Shares Bid for by them, are eligible to receive Equity Shares on a proportionate basis along with
other QIBs; and (iii) Under-subscription below 5% of the QIB Category, if any, from Mutual
Funds, may be included for allocation to the remaining QIBs on a proportionate basis.
7.4 ALLOTMENT TO ANCHOR INVESTOR (IF APPLICABLE)
(a) Allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors at the Anchor Investor Issue Price will be at
the discretion of the Issuer in consultation with the Selling Shareholder and the BRLMs, subject
to compliance with the following requirements:
(i) not more than 60% of the QIB Category will be allocated to Anchor Investors;
(ii) one-third of the Anchor Investor Portion shall be reserved for domestic Mutual Funds,

335
 subject to valid Bids being received from domestic Mutual Funds at or above the price at

(iii) allocation to Anchor Investors shall be on a discretionary basis and subject to:
a maximum number of two Anchor Investors for allocation up to `100 million;
a minimum number of two Anchor Investors and maximum number of 15 Anchor
Investors for allocation of more than `100 million and up to ` 2,500 million subject
to minimum Allotment of ` 50 million per such Anchor Investor; and
a minimum number of five Anchor Investors and maximum number of 15 Anchor
Investors for allocation of more than ` 2,500 million, and an additional 10 Anchor
Investors for every additional ` 2,500 million or part thereof, subject to minimum
Allotment of ` 50 million per such Anchor Investor.
(b) An Anchor Investor shall make an application of a value of at least ` 100 million in the Issue.
(c) A physical book is prepared by the Registrar on the basis of the Anchor Investor Application
Forms received from Anchor Investors. Based on the physical book and at the discretion of the
Issuer in consultation with the BRLMs, selected Anchor Investors will be sent a CAN and if
required, a revised CAN.
(d) In the event that the Issue Price is higher than the Anchor Investor Issue Price: Anchor
Investors will be sent a revised CAN within one day of the Pricing Date indicating the number
of Equity Shares allocated to such Anchor Investor and the pay-in date for payment of the
balance amount. Anchor Investors are then required to pay any additional amounts, being the
difference between the Issue Price and the Anchor Investor Issue Price, as indicated in the
revised CAN within the pay-in date referred to in the revised CAN. Thereafter, the Allotment
Advice will be issued to such Anchor Investors.
(e) In the event the Issue Price is lower than the Anchor Investor Issue Price: Anchor Investors
who have been Allotted Equity Shares will directly receive Allotment Advice.
7.5 BASIS OF ALLOTMENT FOR QIBs (OTHER THAN ANCHOR INVESTORS), NIBs AND
RESERVED CATEGORY IN CASE OF OVER-SUBSCRIBED ISSUE
In the event of the Issue being over-subscribed, the Issuer may finalise the Basis of Allotment in
consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The allocation may be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as explained below:
(a) Bidders may be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for;
(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole may be arrived at
on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category
(number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for)
multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(c) The number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders may be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that
category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than the minimum Bid Lot decided per
Bidder, the Allotment may be made as follows: the successful Bidders out of the total Bidders
for a category may be determined by a draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of
Equity Shares Allotted in that category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in
accordance with (b) above; and each successful Bidder may be Allotted a minimum of such
Equity Shares equal to the minimum Bid Lot finalised by the Issuer;
(e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than the minimum Bid lot
but is not a multiple of one (which is the marketable lot), the decimal may be rounded off to the
higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5 it may be
rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all Bidders in such categories may be
arrived at after such rounding off; and
(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity
Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for

336
 Allotment may be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted Equity Shares
are not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The
balance Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment may be added to the category
comprising Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.

 RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India
and FEMA and the circulars and notifications issued thereunder. Unless specifically restricted, foreign investment
is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the
foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment.
The Consolidated FDI Policy consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications
on FDI issued by the DIPP that were in force and effect prior to June 7, 2016. The Government proposes to update
the consolidated circular on FDI Policy once every year and therefore, Consolidated FDI Policy will be valid until
the DIPP issues an updated circular. Subject to the provisions of the Consolidated FDI Policy, FDI is allowed
under the automatic route for companies engaged in the manufacturing sector.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the
FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the
Consolidated FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the Takeovers Regulations; (ii) the non-
resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with
the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
As per existing regulations, OCBs cannot participate in the Issue.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws in
the United States and 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. Accordingly, the Equity Shares are being offered and sold (i) in the United States only to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and referred to
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus as U.S. QIBs, for the avoidance of doubt, the term U.S. QIBs does not
refer to a category of institutional investor defined under applicable Indian regulations and referred to in the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus as QIBs) pursuant to Rule 144A or another available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) outside the United States only in offshore transactions in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act and pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where those offers
and sales occur.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other jurisdiction
outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such jurisdiction,
except in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. Our Company, the Selling Shareholder and the
Book Running Lead Managers are not liable for any amendments, modification, or changes in applicable laws or
regulations, which may occur after the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Bidders are advised to make
their independent investigations and ensure that the number of Equity Shares Bid for do not exceed the applicable
