DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Contd.)
Shortfall in physical performance of the Company during 2016-17 is due to the following:
a. Planned shutdown of primary crusher of Malanjkhand mine was taken up for 14 days.
b. Less availability of high grade ore due to widening of open pit. Delay in U/G project requires widening of the open
pit to sustain production up to 2020.
c. London Metal Exchange (LME) prices of copper remained under pressure during most of the period of FY-2016-17.
The average LME price during the year was 5154 USD/T against 5215 USD/T in 2015-16.
d. Surda Mine (Jharkhand) operation affected due to poor performance of the contractor.
e. ICC smelter furnace is in the last leg of its current campaign life. Last shutdown for major overhauling was undertaken
in May, 2013. Repeated failure of the refractory and waste heat boiler of the furnace has affected the production of
cathode.
Remedial actions taken to improve the performance are as under:
a. Increased thrust on excavation at Malanjkhand mine to widen upper benches to sustain production upto the year
2020.
b. Construction of Banwas mine at Khetri Copper Complex has been completed and production ramp up from the
mine will commence in 2017-18.
c. Action has been initiated for award of new contract for the operation and maintenance of Surda Mine. Thereafter
the production from Surda mine will improve.
d. Cathode production will improve as production ramp up from newly acquired Gujarat Copper Project (GCP)
will improve further. The Kaldo furnace of the Unit will be made operational in the second quarter of fiscal year
2017-18.
2. Dividend

operator route. Environmental clearance has been obtained on 1.8.2014, stage -II forest clearance obtained. Chapri-
Sideshwar mine fall within the Rakha and Kedadih mining lease.
vi. Manufacturing of Copper through Hydrometallurgy Technology - The Company has plans to set up a plant of capacity
1.0 lakh tonne per annum to manufacture copper cathode through cost effective hydro-metallurgy technology. The site of
the project has been finalized and investment in the project is ` 3025 crore. The investment proposal after approval of the
Board has been sent to the Ministry to obtain CCEA approval.
vii. Extraction of minerals from copper ore tails (MP)- The Company has awarded contract to install and commission a
commercial scale plant of capacity 3.3 million tonne per annum at Malanjkhand at cost of `200 crore to extract valuable
minerals and metals from copper ore tails.
5. Significant or material orders passed by the Regulators or Courts or Tribunals:
Malanjkhand Copper Project (MCP) of the Company operates Copper Mines and Concentrator Plant at its project site
with electricity obtained from M.P. State Electricity Board. The electricity duty charged from HCL/MCP for both Mines
and Concentrator Plant was at the rate applicable to mines although the Concentrator Plant was registered as a 'Factory'
with the State Government on 19.12.1986. As per applicable laws, the electricity duty chargeable for 'Factory' was at a
lower rate than that applicable to mines. HCL/MCP represented the matter before the State Government Authorities in
this regard but the matter was not resolved. Thereafter, the issue was agitated by HCL/MCP in the Courts of Law
between 1998 to 2016, namely MP High Court at Jabalpur by way of Writ and the Hon'ble Supreme Court by way of SLPs
from time-to-time.
The moot issues to be decided in the matter were as under.
1. Interpretation of the word "Adjacent" occurring in the Explanation (b) to Section 3 of the M.P. Electricity Duty
Act, 1949.
2. Whether 'concentrate' is a 'mineral' and whether explanation to Part-B of the M.P. Electricity Duty Act, 1949
applied even through the manufacturing process is involved to bring it into existence.
In the finality, the Hon'ble Supreme Court while examining our SLP No. 10643-10645 of 2012 in the matter, by its Order
dated 10.11.2016, examined the aforesaid issue and thus ordered.
The Court in its judgment gave the word 'adjoining' a wider connotation. It would include close proximity such as being
in the same locality. The Court in its findings also noted that the word 'processing' used in the Explanation has to be
interpreted in the context and for the purpose of the said item. Process can be given either a wide or a narrow meaning.
The learned judges applied the rule of noscitur a sociis which means that the meaning of the word is to be judged by the
11
company it keeps. It relied on several precedents, and by giving it a narrow meaning in the present case, it ruled that the
process to create concentrate and alloy comes under manufacturing and not under processing which is an allied activity
to mining. The Court also held that Copper Concentrate is not a mineral but a manufactured product. Summing up its
judgment, the Court held that the High Court was not correct in its analysis. The said High Court judgment was set aside
and the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed to levy the tariff as meant for the manufacturing unit. It further stated that if
any amount had already been paid by HCL to the revenue, the same should be adjusted towards future demands.

ANNEXURE - I TO THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT
MANGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
I. Industry Structure and Development

Global Business Scenario
During 2016, Global mine production was 20.21 million tonnes (copper content), thus registering a growth of 6% over
2015 despite weak copper Prices. The strong growth was mainly due to new and expanded capacity brought on-stream in
Mexico and Peru and the low frequency of supply disruptions due to strikes, accidents or adverse weather conditions. In
the year 2017, mine production is impacted by the significant supply disruptions that occurred in the 1st quarter of the
year notably in Chile, Indonesia and Peru. According to International Copper Study Group (ICSG), world mine production
is expected to decline by 1% in 2017 and remain essentially unchanged in 2018.
World refined production in 2016 was 23.31 million tones registering a growth of 2% over 2015. In coming years, although
world refined production is expected to grow by around 2%. In 2017, the refined copper production is forecasted to at
23.75 million tonnes. In coming years, although world secondary refined production is expected to increase, it is anticipated
that growth in electrolytic refined production might be lower constrained by the availability of concentrate. China will
remain the biggest contributor to world refined production growth in 2017 and 2018. Refined production is expected to
register growth in both years mainly as a result of China bringing on additional capacity through existing and new
electrolytic refineries.
In 2016, world copper demand was 23.45 million tonnes. China remains the largest consumer of refined copper in world
consuming around 50% of the world demand. World refined usage is expected to increase by around 2% in 2017 and 2018.
Sustained growth in world copper demand is expected to continue because copper is essential to economic activity and
even more so to the modern technological society. Infrastructural development in major countries like China and India
will continue to sustain growth in copper demand. Improvement is anticipated for the world economy for 2017 and 2018
which, although modest, should support copper demand growth. As per ICSG forecast, it is projected that there will be a
deficit of about 150,000 metric tonnes in 2017, and about 170,000 metric tonnes in 2018.
Indian Copper Scenario
Mining - Reserves & Production:
As of 1.4.2010, total reserves are estimated (in metal terms) at 4.8 million tonnes and probable resources at 12.3 million
tones. The copper reserves and resources are largely located in three copper belts, namely, Khetri copper belt in Western
India, Singhbhum copper belt in Eastern India and Malanjkhand copper belt in Central India. All the operating mining
leases are presently held by HCL, a state owned copper producing company. To increase production, HCL has chalked
out an expansion plan to increase mine production from 3.2 million tonne per annum to 12.4 million tonnes per annum by
2018-19.
In FY 2016-17, Mine ore production of HCL, (the only copper mining company in the country) was 3.85 million tonnes as
compared to 3.9 million tonnes in 2015-16. In metal terms the production was 30,587 MT as compared to 31,578 MT in
2015-16.
Refined Copper Production:
Currently, three major players dominate the Indian Copper Industry. HCL in Public Sector, M/s Hindalco and
M/s Sterlite Industries in Private Sector. HCL is the only vertically integrated copper producer in the country, while
M/s Hindalco at Dahej in Gujarat and M/s Sterlite Industries in Tuticorn in Tamil Nadu have setup port based smelting
and refining plants which depend on imported mineral in the form of concentrate. India has total installed capacity of
999,500 tonnes of refined copper production per annum. HCL has shut down its one of the smelter & refining plant
(Khetri Plant) of annual capacity 31,000 due to economic reasons. Refined copper (copper cathode) production in FY 2016-
17 was 7,96,171 tonnes, as compared to 7,95,000 tonnes in FY 2015-16. In addition there are a few installations to
produce Electro-won Copper but their capacities are still very low, and production is inconsistent.
Refined Copper Usage:
During FY 2016-17, refined copper usage (including cathode and wirerod) is around 6.65 lakh tonnes. Copper consumption
growth rate is likely to increase around 6 to 7% due to improvement in growth rate of manufacturing, housing &
infrastructure sectors. The key growth drivers are in continuing demand from power and construction sectors. Electrical
& power sectors account for nearly one-third (35%) of the refined copper consumption, followed by 11% by the transport
(Auto and Railways) industry, 8% each by construction & consumer durables industry. The growing environment
consciousness and emphasis on using more energy-efficient appliances would also help to protect demand for copper in
India. India is self sufficient in refined copper production and has emerged as net exporter of refined copper.
16
ANNEXURE - I TO THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Contd.)
Import & Export:

As of now, there is a high level of deficit in the mining capacity and surplus in the refining capacity. Domestic production
of concentrate accounts for only 4% of the total requirement. Consequently, India imported around 2,748,933 tonnes of
copper concentrate (about 824,000 tonnes of metal) in FY 2016-17. However, India is self sufficient in refined copper
production and has emerged as net exporter of refined copper. There is, however, also a cross trading in the import /
export of refined copper, and during the FY 2016 -17, around 350,000 tonnes of refined copper was exported as compared
to 335,000 tonnes in 2015-16.
II. SWOT Analysis
Strength
Only Company having ownership of all copper mines in India
Fully developed infrastructure facilities
Fully integrated operations from mining of copper ore to pure metal
Skilled and experienced work force
Established brand value
Weakness
High cost of logistics due to multi- location units
Relatively smaller sized plants
Aged equipment /old technology
Limited value added products
Opportunity
Scope for expansion of mine capacity
Opportunity to explore new deposits
Ready market for copper concentrate in India due to large smelting/refining capacity
Threat
High volatility of LME price of copper
Rising cost of inputs
Continuous attrition of skilled manpower
III. Segment-wise or product-wise performance
Covered in the main report.
IV. Outlook:
India's copper market is expected to remain positive with strong growth in key user segments such as power, construction
and engineering. Copper demand is expected to grow at the rate of 6 to 7 % in coming years due to improved economic
activity in the country. Such high demand is a result of increasing urbanization, development of industrial corridors,
smart city project, housing for all by 2022, National highway development project, Rail project, Defense production policy
to encourage indigenous manufacture, India energy plan 2022- 100GW solar, 32GW wind, 260GW thermal & nuclear, 62
GW hydro. In addition to this there is plan for green energy corridor for transmission of renewable energy. The per capita
copper consumption in India is expected to increase from the current level of 0.5 Kg to 1 kg by 2025. The per capita copper
consumption of China is 6 Kg and world average is 2.7 kg. Import of finished copper is increasing over the years. Free
trade agreements with copper producing countries have posed a challenge to the Indian copper industry. In coming days,
the industry needs to be innovative on product and cost to meet the forthcoming challenges.
V. Risks and concerns
The Company has laid down risk management framework keeping the Company's objectives, growth strategy and process

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Hindustan Copper Limited

Report on the Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Hindustan Copper Limited ("the Company"), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2017, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive
income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of
the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as "Ind AS financial
statements").
Management's Responsibility for the Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the
Act") with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and
changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under
Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the Ind AS financial statements
that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates
made by the Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the Ind AS financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS
financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Ind AS, of the state of affairs (financial
position) of the Company as at 31st March, 2017, and its profit (financial performance including other comprehensive
income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the Note No 39-General Notes on Accounts to the Ind AS financial statements:
1) Vide Clause No. 2 (i) which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome of various lawsuits filed and
claims of demand raised against the Company by various authorities/parties and its financial impact on the
Ind AS financial statements of the company. The Company has treated those demands as disputed and not
acknowledged as debt in the books and treated the same as Contingent Liabilities, the total amount of which
comes to `38566.91Lac
2) Vide Clause No. 10 which describes the balances under the head Sundry Creditors, Claims Recoverable, Loans
& Advances, Sundry Debtors and Deposits from and with various parties/Govt. Dept. etc. have not been confirmed
in number of cases.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

ANNEXURE- III TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR`S REPORT

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan Copper Limited ("the Company") as of 31st
March 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence
to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit
of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting
included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of
the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk
that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has in place, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2017, based on
the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India.

2.Significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention from the books of accounts maintained
under accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and in accordance
with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Companies Act, 2013.
2.2 Application of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS)
All companies (listed or unlisted) having net worth of `50,000 Lakhs or more are required to adopt Ind AS. The
requirement to present comparatives implies that phase 1 companies will require an Ind AS compliant opening

(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 ("Ind AS Rules"), of the Companies Act, 2013 and are mandatorily
effective for the accounting period that begins on or after 1 April 2016.

101 - First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from the previous
accounting principles generally accepted in India (IGAAP) to the current Ind AS and its effect with reconciliation
and description have been summarised in Note No. I,II & III.
2.3 Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in
future periods.
2.4 Revenue Recognition
Sale of Products
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined.
Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive
to customers. In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper
Concentrate of Khetri and Malanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on
provisional basis as per standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are
recorded only on receipt of actual. This is as per consistent practice followed by the company.
Sale of Services
Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched.When the outcome
of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction
shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at
the end of the reporting period
Other Income
a.Interest from Customers
Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on accrual basis.
b.Claims
Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) on actual basis including receivables
72
NOTES TO IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd.)
from Government towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, insurance claims etc, where it is
reasonably certain that these assets will be realised.
c.Dividend and Interest from Investments
Dividend income and interest income from investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the
right to receive the same has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company
and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
d.Profit on Sale of Investment
Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference
between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.
e.Penalty and Liquidated Damages
Penalty and liquidated damages are accounted for as and when these are realised and/or considered recoverable by
the company.
f.Others
Any other income is recognised on accrual basis.
2.5 Employees Benefit
Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have
rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit
credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-
measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable)
and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position
with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement
recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified
to Statement of Profit or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan
amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net
defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
i. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, etc.);
ii.Net interest expense or income; and
iii.Re-measurement.
The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'employee
benefits expense'.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or
surplus in the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions
to the plans.
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the
offer of the termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick
leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in
exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up
to the reporting date.
73
Deficit in Provident Fund

Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the
Trust is accounted for as a charge to Revenue.
2.6 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest
expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to
the borrowing costs
2.7 Depreciation and Amortization
The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognisation of Plant, Property and
Equipment (PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.
The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part
C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of
the company, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial
year-end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is
depreciated separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are 'Put to Use' till
the date of sale and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.
An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset. Certain consumable items of small value whose useful life is very limited are directly
charged to revenue in the year of purchase..
From the date Ind AS came into effect, the carrying amount of an asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life
of the asset as per estimate of remaining useful life. Wherever, the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the
carrying amount is recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings after retaining the residual value.
2.8 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax
The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented
in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income
Tax Act 1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized
for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to
be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which
the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current and Deferred Tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
74
2.9(a) Property Plant and Equipments

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an
item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:
i. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts
and rebates.
ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management.
iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is
located, the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence
of having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during
that period.
The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After
recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Pending reconciliation/receipt of the final bills against capital items, capitalization is done on the basis of
cost booked and depreciation is charged accordingly. Price differences, if any, are adjusted in the year of
finalization of bills.
In respect of expenditure during construction/development of a new unit/project in a new location, all direct capital
expenditure as well as all indirect expenditure incidentals to construction are capitalized allocating to various
items of PPE on an appropriate basis. Expansion programme involving construction concurrently run with normal
production activities in an existing unit, all direct capital expenditure in relation to such expansion are capitalized
but indirect expenditure are charged to revenue. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that
necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
Expenses incurred for implementation of new projects are carried forward against respective projects till
execution. Expenses rendered in fructuous projects abandoned subsequently are provided for in the Statement of
Profit & Loss.
2.9(b) Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when the company controls the asset; it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with respective assets will be realized for more than one economic period. At initial recognition,
intangible assets are recognized at cost. Intangible assets are amortized on straight line basis over estimated
useful life from the date on which they are available on use. Intangible Assets other than Software are amortized
over estimated useful life which is equivalent to license period, generally not more than 5 years. However, Software
which are considered as Intangible Assets are fully amortised in the year in which the expenses are incurred.
2.10 Mine Development Expenditure
In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent
development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the
mineable ore reserves estimated from time to time.
In case of working mines, where development activities are going on simultaneously : Expenses are apportioned
between capital and revenue on the basis of in-house technical estimates.
In respect of open cast mines : The expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same
is depleted in relation to actual ore production during the year and the stripping ratio of the mine as determined
by the company at the weighted average rate. Subsequently, if any ore is reclaimed from overburden, the same is
valued on the basis of opening rate of mine development expenditure.
Expenditure incurred on exploration of new deposits is included in mine development expenditure. If subsequently
the exploration activities are found to be not viable, the expenditure on such exploratory work included in mine
development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is decided to abandon the project.
If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure
related to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend
75
operation of the mine. If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the company remains the owner
of the mines, the unamortized Mine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will
be written back in the books of accounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise
based on the estimated remaining life of that mine.
2.11 Overhauling Expenses
Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit &
Loss in the year of incurrence.
2.12 Mine Closure Expenditure
Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated
and the involvement , not being material, are charged off on actual incurrence.
2.13 Non Current Assets Held for Sale
The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will
be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. A non-current asset (or
disposal group) is classified as being held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal
group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are be
measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards.
2.14 Inventories
Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable
value and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost
to the unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools
when issued are charged off to revenue.
Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost
to the unit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc.
The value of slag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where
the said products have been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent
value of concentrate) and net realizable value.
The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the
year end London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery
and the treatment and refining charges.
Liability for excise duty on finished goods in stock lying at works or warehouses is provided in the accounts and
also considered in stock valuation.
The inventories out of inter-unit transfers at the close of the year are valued on the basis of cost to the
transferor unit.
Imported materials are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost. In the event
where final price is not determined valuation is made on provisional cost. Variations are accounted for in the year
of finalization.
Provision is made in the accounts every year, for non-moving stores and spares (other than insurance spares)
which have not moved for more than five years. Insurance spares are fully provided for on the expiry of the life of
the relevant Property Plant and Equipments.
Scrap sales are accounted for on delivery of material.
2.15 Grants-in-Aid
All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over
the period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.
2.16 Impairment of Assets
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount,
76
in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the
asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement
of Profit or Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.17 Foreign Exchange Transactions
Transactions in currencies other than the company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the
rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies
are re-translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that
are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Foreign currency monetary items (except overdue recoverable where realisability is uncertain) are converted using
the closing rate as defined in the Ind AS-21- The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Non-monetary
items are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The exchange difference gain/loss is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Liability in foreign currency loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as
defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized
in terms of exemptions given in paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange
differences on foreign currency loans of the company is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the
assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.
2.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event and it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation.
2.19 Contingent Liabilities/ Assets
Contingent Liabilities
Wherever no reliable estimate could be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent
liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not
require an outflow of resources.
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is
remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in the General Notes forming part of the accounts.
Contingent Assets
Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such
assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if
it's virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be
recognised in the financial statements.
2.20 Leasing
Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to
lessee are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Depreciation expenses are recorded if asset held under finance lease is depreciable.
77
Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss if they are not directly attributable
to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the company's general policy on
borrowing costs.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.21 Financial Instruments
Non Derivative Financial Instruments
(i) Initial Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from
the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent Recognition
a. Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive
income or fair value through profit or loss.
b. Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR)
method except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or
loss for the period.
2.22 Events Occurring after the Reporting Period
The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after
the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period.
However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances
that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are
disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

TOTAL 547.40
16. As the life of open pit mine at MCP is limited, the Company, in addition to the open pit mine, has started
developing underground mine for its sustainability. Based on the ore estimates from time to time, calculation
of ore reserve and re-designing of mine pit is being done based on certain technical parameters and assumptions.
At the beginning of the financial year 2015-16, Unamortized Mine Development Expenditure (MDE) of MCP
open cast (surface) mine was `50086.41 lac. The company used to capitalize the total mining cost under the
head MDE and annual amortization amount was used to have been derived by applying the stripping rate
with the ore produced at average annual rate/ MT at the end of the year.
From the current financial year, accounting standards - IndAS has become mandatory on the company. It
provides that a first-time adopter of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) may apply the Appendix B of Ind
AS 16 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine from the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. on
01.04.2015. It further provides that at the transition date to Ind ASs, any previously recognized asset balance
arising out of the stripping activity undertaken during the production phase ('predecessor stripping asset')
shall be reclassified as a part of an existing asset to which the stripping activity related to the extent there
remains an identifiable component of the ore body with which the predecessor stripping asset can be associated.
Such balances shall be depreciated or amortized over the remaining expected useful life of the identified
component of the ore body to which each predecessor stripping asset balance relates. If there is no identifiable
component of the ore body to which predecessor stripping asset relates, it shall be recognized in opening
retained earnings at the transition date to Ind ASs as per exemption provided in other Ind ASs - Appendix B
of First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS-101).
Keeping in view of Ind AS on the issue of Unamortized Mine Development Expenditure at MCP it is evident
98
from the accounting records as on 01.04.2015 that Unamortized MDE of MCP open cast (surface) mine was
` 50086.41 lac with Overburden (OB) quantity of 48493188.79 MT. It is also observed that the opening OB
quantity of 48493188.79 MT consists of 45932188.79 MT of OB quantity valuing `47441.27 lac and 2561000.00
MT of Lean Ore valuing `2645.14. It implies that as against an amount of `47441.27 lac pertaining to OB
quantity there is no identifiable component of the ore body to which that predecessor stripping asset related.
In the given circumstances and in compliance with the mandatory accounting standards Ind AS coupled with
the fact that the company has already initiated development activity for underground mining and the life of
the open cast mine is limited to 6-7 years, the Company has written off an amount of `47441.27 lac relating to
OB quantity against Retained Earnings as on 01.04.2015 in order to give effect to Ind AS.
Accordingly, the stripping rate of open cast (surface) mine has been re-assessed with reference to identifiable
component of the ore body.
17. No fraud by the company or any fraud on the company by its officers and employees has been noticed or
reported during the current financial year.
18. The Company has closed / suspended many of its mining operations located at various places, Fertilizer Plant
at Khetri in different years due to their uneconomic operations. As per requirement of IND AS 105 on "Non-
current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" the following information for the year are furnished:

24. Financial Instrument

1. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company uses Commodity Futures Contracts to manage its commodity price risk . The Commodity Futures
Contracts are not designated as hedging instrumnets and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity
price risk exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The
foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods
consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.
Commodity price risk
The Company purchases copper blister/ anode on an ongoing basis for its operating activities in its Gujarat
Copper Project plant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices
in the international market has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts.
These contracts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price
fluctuations of copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Risk
Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1
and 4 months based on existing purchase agreements. The Company designated only the spot-to-spot movement
of the entire commodity purchase price as the hedged risk. It has been decided by the company not to follow
the hedge accounting for these instruments.
As at 31 March 2017, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is insignificant.
2. Financial Instruments by Categories

3. The management considers the Service fees of `200.00 lac paid on the Exim bank Term loan amounting to
`20000.00 lac drawn in June 2015 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee is only 0.16% of the Turnover of
the company and hence the same has not been considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at
initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109,
the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the
rate of interest of EXIM BANK loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan.
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts
and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments.
101
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could
be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally with
financial institutions having Investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and
commodity futures contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable
inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing .
4. Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets.
Level 2 - Level 2 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Level 3 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).

under the regulartory feramework of Reserve Bank of India. We review these banking relationships on an
ongoing basis.

Our liquidity needs are monitored on the basis of monthly and yearly projections. The company's principal
sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations.
We manage our liquidity needs by continuously monitoring cash inflows and by maintaining adequate cash
and cash equivalents. Net cash requirements are compared to available cash in order to determine any shortfalls.

cash equivalents to meet our short term liquidity requirements.
