COVID-19 AND
SUGAR BUSINESS
Within 72 hours of the lockdown across the country,
with our operations designated as essential commodity
manufacturing, we were able to go contactless with
over 3,00,000 farmers that we interact with, and
thousands of other people who form a part of our supply
chain. This, coupled with detailed processes for social
distancing and safety in place, allowed us to operate our
units in an environment of great safety and security for
all individuals concerned.

The need for a responsive strategy was required during


the COVID-19 outbreak that impacted industries and
businesses across the country in the last quarter of the
fiscal year. The Sugar industry, given its classification as
an essential commodity, continued to get Government
support during the lockdown period and, therefore,
continued its operations unabated. However, the impact
on demand was palpable as the demand from the
institutional buyers declined severely. A total impact
of ~0.5 million tonnes is estimated on all India sugar
consumption for the current sugar year.

Distilleries continued to operate at full capacity during


the challenging lockdown period due to support from Oil
Marketing Companies despite pruned fuel consumption.

In view of the grave situation prevailing due to


COVID-19, the Government of India permitted sugar
industry to manufacture hand sanitizers to meet the
unprecedented demand in the country to combat the
spread of Coronavirus. We started manufacturing hand
sanitizers based on WHO recommended formulation at
our state-of-the-art distillery at Muzaffarnagar within a
short span after the Government’s announcement. We
supplied our hand sanitizer, “GermCare”, free of cost to
the District Administrations and various bodies in the
regional ecosystem.

We accord the highest priority to the safety and health


of our employees, customers and partners. We follow
very strict and advanced protocols at all our offices
and manufacturing facilities, and have implemented
stringent processes for ensuring preventive measures
for COVID-19 at all levels to keep the risk under control.
By leveraging digital technology, we successfully shifted
our work online, while ensuring our availability to all our
stakeholders at all times.

OUR ENGINEERING
STRATEGY

In the Engineering businesses, our clear and


comprehensive strategy remains focussed on
enhancement of our product range as well as
expansion into new markets and segments of growth,
in India and internationally. Our strategic thrust in
this business is on recognising the opportunities with
growth potential and seizing the relevant ones. Our
continuous thrust on technology leads to developing
improved and more cost-effective products, solutions
and services for our customers.

In our Gears business, we are focussed on identifying


and leveraging growth avenues in terms of product
offerings as well as new markets. In the aftermarket
business, we are providing expert service solutions
for our own brand as well as for other makes of
gearboxes. We are expanding our reach globally,
targeting new geographies and markets.

We have entered into the Defence and Built to Print


business segments in recent years and have been
working relentlessly to establish our brand to capture
more business opportunities in these two segments.

In the Water business, amid the ever increasing


scarcity and pollution of water resources globally, we
have been working with industrial companies as well
as municipal authorities to provide effective solutions
for efficient water management. Our strategy is not
only to provide treatment of water but also to monitor
its quality at each stage in the cycle - from extraction
to discharge and back into the natural environment.
Our water technology protects resources and
encourages recycling and reuse of water by large
cities and industries.

Water market is moving towards recycling and reuse


of wastewater, which requires tertiary treatment
technologies. Water business is well poised to
target recycling, reuse and zero liquid discharge
opportunities because of its experience in several
projects.

Annual Report 2019-20

COVID-19 AND
ENGINEERING BUSINESSES

Our engineering facilities were also under lockdown as


part of a nation-wide plan since March 25, 2020. The
Gears facility partially reopened after about 3 weeks and
ramped up to normal strength by the 2nd week of May
2020. Likewise, the project sites of our Water Business
were also operational by the middle of May 2020. We are
strictly following the guidelines issued by the Ministry
at all of our facilities to avoid spread of COVID-19 and
to keep our employees safe. Usage of digital and other
technology tools enabled the Company to continue its
business even during the lockdown period, including with
our potential customers. The impact on the order booking
and cancellation/deferment of orders by our customers
would depend on how the disease is kept under check
in various geographies and the challenges which our
customers may face with respect to return of normalcy,
liquidity, pricing pressure, supply chain and logistics etc.

A strong driver of our growth in


Water business is our strategic
tie-ups with the world’s leading
technology providers for various
products, processes and solutions,
such as Ultra Filtration (UF), Reverse
Osmosis (RO), Moving Bed Bio
Reactor (MBBR) etc.

WHAT SETS US APART!

Our Sugar business has the advantage of strategically


located manufacturing units in fertile, sugarcane-rich areas
of UP, that are fed through canal irrigation. Proximity to the
country’s major sugar consuming markets enables better
price realisation because of optimal costs of transportation
and other logistics.

We share decades old partnerships with over three


lakh sugarcane farmers. We support the farmers with
dissemination of information, tools and scientific techniques
in order to improve their productivity which enhances their
income. We have also undertaken many other activities
under our sugarcane development programme, such as soil
mapping, creating awareness on better irrigation methods,
providing mechanised equipment, changes in varietal
balance by propagation of high yielding and high sucrose
varieties of sugarcane etc. We distribute nutrients, fertilisers
and pesticides under crop health management programmes.
We also partner with the Government sugarcane research
centres to introduce the latest scientific methods of farming,
nurturing of seeds, and programmes for eradication of
pests and diseases. We do continuous monitoring through
real-time data capturing, which leads to on-time and faster
decision-making. Our teams are dedicated to ensure that
farm-level productivity is higher and we maintain cut-to-
crush time, leading to higher gains to the farmers.

Going forward, we shall focus on intensifying this strategy


to further augment our differential edge. This will be done
through development of new areas under sugarcane
cultivation in our command areas, and by consistently
improving yields of sugarcane across the units.

Various efficiency changes and R&D initiatives are undertaken


continuously on the processing side for enhancing
operational efficiencies. We also undertake continuous
machinery upgradation at the plants, and regularly monitor
the consumption of process materials etc. by following the
highest environmental standards.

MESSAGE FROM THE


CHAIRMAN

Our major business portfolio -


Sugar and Co-products, being
essential goods, were not
impacted during the lockdown
period and operated normally.

Dear Shareholders,
It is with mixed emotions that I am addressing you at this critical
juncture: At the one end of the spectrum, there is a sense
of pride and accomplishment over the record performance
posted by the Company during the year, whereas at the other
end is the COVID-19 pandemic which has caught the world
under its fold, costing countless human lives and disrupting
the entire cycle of global economy. We have not faced a more
uncertain environment before, but I do believe that we have the
ability to combat the pandemic, and emerge as the winner, even
stronger than before.

Our major business portfolio - Sugar and Co-products, being


essential goods, were not impacted during the lockdown
period and operated normally. During the lockdown period,
the businesses were managed with extensive use of digital
technology, which will now replace the conventional ways
of working in many ways. These are expected to bring about
not only improvement in productivity but significant cost
efficiencies also. It will be our endeavour to keep our employees
and other stakeholders safe without compromising our quality

on a consolidated basis. These
numbers reflect the overall
positivity in the business, across
segments, amid the challenging

Overall, has the performance of the Company


been in line with your projections? What were
the key factors that led to improved performance
across the segments?

It has been a year of remarkable performance for the Company,


with some record-breaking numbers, notwithstanding the
challenging and uncertain situation triggered by COVID-19
towards the end of FY 20. Gross revenue for the year stood
at ` 4,436.6 crore and Profit after Tax at `  335.1 crore on a
consolidated basis. These numbers reflect the overall positivity
in the business, across segments, amid the challenging macro
environment.

In the Sugar business, we have further improved operational


efficiencies, notably with respect to sugarcane crush and
recovery. In the Sugar Season 2019-20, we achieved 10%
increase in sugarcane crush and our recovery improved by
18 basis points on comparable basis, excluding the impact of
B-heavy molasses, as compared to the previous sugar season.
Additionally, the series of interventions by the Government of
India (GoI) over the past few seasons has infused substantial
positive sentiment, helping in the stabilisation of the industry,
particularly on the pricing front.

SUGAR BUSINESS

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY


As one of the largest agro-based industries in India, with a total
turnover of over ` 1,00,000 crore, the Sugar industry, which
includes sugar and its co-products, contributes significantly to
the nation’s socio-economic development.

In the Sugar Season (SS) 2018-19 (October to September),


around 732 mills produced more than 33 million tonnes of
sugar, making India the world’s largest sugar producer. India
also maintained its leadership position as the world’s largest
consumer. The industry’s value chain encompasses around
50 million farmers, along with around 2.5 million farm and
industrial workers who are involved in sugarcane farming and
the sugar manufacturing value chain.

Having emerged as a major driver of the country’s progress,


the Sugar industry continues to be central to the Government
of India’s strategic focus. The Government’s proactive
interventions have been crucial for the industry, which faces
tremendous challenges due to excess production and carryover
stock. The Government reforms have, in fact, been critical to
the success of the sugar companies in recent years.

Among the key policy interventions of the Government are the


creation of buffer stock, provision of soft loans, establishment

The expansion of the global sugar deficit was also a positive


factor in raising global sugar prices, resulting mainly from
lower sugar production in Brazil and Thailand, thus leading
to supply side shocks. This has further augmented the Indian

its operations for four weeks, after which partial operations
commenced in adherence with the Central and State
Government guidelines, leading to complete opening in a

Raw Material Costs have increased by 9% commensurate with the increase in sugarcane crush by 9% and 17% increase in the
turnover of the engineering businesses. However, the raw material % to sales is not very indicative for sugar business as it is
directly linked to the production of sugar and not sale of sugar.

Despite higher turnover by 40%, Manufacturing expenses have reduced by 5%. In sugar business (including distillery), such costs
are directly linked to the production undertaken rather than to the sales. The savings in manufacturing costs is due to low costs
associated with manufacture of raw sugar which formed 24% of the total sugar production and reduced civil work quantum in the
projects executed by Water Business.

Due to increase in capacity, the production and turnover has increased substantially during the current year. Sales volumes in
March 2020 were impacted on account of COVID-19. Lower PBIT during the year is mainly on account of abnormally lower raw
material (molasses) prices last year, which have increased substantially during the year based on market dynamics. The Company
has for the first time produced B-heavy molasses at three of its sugar units for the production of Ethanol. It has helped the Company
in optimum utilisation of distillation capacity as well to capture higher ethanol prices as applicable to ethanol produced from
B-heavy molasses.

Average realisation price has improved by 11% as the Ethanol produced from B-heavy molasses fetches higher prices - ` 54.27/

which become due unconditionally (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Different businesses of the Company have their different credit terms [refer note 41 (i)].

Contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses is compared with the progress billings
raised on the customer - any surplus is considered as contract assets and shown as amounts due from customers under
construction contracts, whereas any shortfall is considered as contract liabilities and shown as the amounts due to
customers under construction contracts. Amounts of revenue earned for work performed pending billing on customers
is considered as contract assets and shown as unbilled revenue. Amounts billed for work performed which will become
due upon fulfillment of specified conditions is considered as contract assets and shown as customer retentions.
Amounts received before the related work is performed is considered as contract liabilities and is shown as advances
from customers.

(b) Significant changes in contract assets and liabilities:


Decrease in contract assets (Due from customers under construction contracts) is mainly attributable to sewage
treatment projects in the municipal segment, where substantial work was performed by the Company during the last year
against which bills were raised on the customer during the current year upon achievement of contractual milestones.

I ncrease in contract assets (customer retentions) is mainly attributable to wastewater sewage treatment projects in the
industrial municipal segment which were started during last year, where significant billing is done during the current
year with the progress in project work but will become due upon fulfillment of specified conditions.

wastewater sewage treatment projects in the industrial municipal segment, where major billing done based on
achievement of contractual milestones is in excess of revenue recognised in accordance with Ind AS 115 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.
Decrease in contract liabilities (Advances from Customers) is mainly attributable to adjustment of mobilsation advances
against billings under water waste-water treatment projects.

NOTE 38: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


(i) Defined contribution plans
(a) The Company contributes to certain defined contribution retirement benefit plans under which the Company pays fixed
contributions to separate entities (funds) or financial institutions or state managed benefit schemes. The Company has
no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Following are the schemes covered under defined
contributions plans of the Company:

Provident Fund Plan & Employee Pension Scheme: The Company makes monthly contributions at prescribed rates
towards Employee Provident Fund Employee Pension Scheme administered and managed by the Government of
India. The Company had also set up a Provident Fund Trust, to secure the provident fund dues in respect of a specific
establishment of the Company. During the year, the Company has voluntarily applied for surrender of the exemption under
section 17(1)(a) of Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 granted to the said establishment.
Pursuant to the directions subsequently received from the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Meerut (RPFC) to
comply as an unexempted establishment, the Company has started depositing provident fund contributions in relation
to such establishment with the RPFC w.e.f. 1 November 2019 (i.e. contributions pertaining to the salary payable for the
month of October 2019) and has also initiated the process of transferring the accumulated balances standing to the
credit of all the members of the said Provident Fund Trust into their respective member accounts to be maintained
in future under the Employee Provident Fund Scheme administered and managed by the Government of India. The
Company is committed to ensure that all such accumulated balances of the members are credited with the interest
calculated at the applicable rate announced by the Government of India till the date of settlement. Any shortfall arising
to the Trust (after considering amounts receivable on account of disposal realisation transfer of investments held by
it) in meeting such obligation, shall be met by the Company. The Company has accordingly, during the year, provided for
an amount of ` 189.50 lakhs on an estimate basis (included in contribution to provident and other funds shown under
employee benefits expense), towards meeting such shortfall, which has mainly arisen due to diminution in the value of
bonds issued by certain private sector non-banking financial companies in view of their delinquencies defaults.

Employee State Insurance: The Company makes prescribed monthly contributions towards Employees State
Insurance Scheme.

Superannuation Scheme: The Company contributes towards a fund established to provide superannuation benefit
to certain employees in terms of Group Superannuation Policies entered into by such fund with the Life Insurance
Corporation of India.

National Pension Scheme: The Company makes contributions to the National Pension Scheme fund in respect of certain
employees of the Company.

(b) The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plans are as follows:

related administration and other expenses of ` 4.19 lakhs (31 March 2019: ` 8.44 lakhs) towards Provident Fund Trust
set up to secure the provident fund dues in respect of a specific establishment of the Company [see (i)(a) above].

(ii) Defined benefit plan (Gratuity)


(a) The Company operates a defined benefit retirement plan under which the Company pays certain defined benefit by
way of gratuity to its employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement
termination of employment or upon death of an employee, based on the respective employees’ salary and years of
employment with the Company.

(b) Risk exposure


The plan typically exposes the Company to number of actuarial risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risk: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with references to government bond yields
as at end of reporting period; if plan assets under perform compared to the government bonds discount rate, this
will create or increase a deficit. The investments in plan assets are made in accordance with pattern of investment
prescribed by central government and ensures that the funds are invested in a balanced mix of investments comprising
central government securities, state government securities, other debt instruments as well as equity instruments. Most
of the plan investments is in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. The Company has a
risk management strategy which defines exposure limits and acceptable credit risk rating.

Interest risk: A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this is expected to be partially
offset by an increase in the value of the plan’s debt instruments.
Life expectancy: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of
the mortality of plan participants during their employment. A change in the life expectancy of the plan participants will
impact the plan’s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Attrition rate: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is impacted by the rate of employee turnover,
disability and early retirement of plan participants. A change in the attrition rate of the plan participants will impact the
plan’s liability.

(c) The significant actuarial assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
Valuation as at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Discounting rate 6.60% 7.55%
Future salary growth rate 5.50% for next 8.00%

*Assumptions regarding future mortality are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics (i.e. IALM 2012-14
Ultimate). These assumptions translate into an average life expectancy in years at retirement age.

The investible funds of the Gratuity Plan are invested in accordance with the investment pattern and norms prescribed
by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The investment pattern mandates that the investible funds are
invested across the permitted investments in the prescribed pattern, whereby the investment risk is spread across
various categories of investment comprising sovereign government securities, state development loans monitored
by the Reserve Bank of India, investment grade rated debt securities issued by private and public sector companies,
fixed-deposit with banks fulfilling the prescribed norms, units of debt and equity mutual funds. The investments
made are generally on held-to-maturity basis. It is the endeavour of the Company to mitigate risk by investing only in
high-quality debt securities and in mutual funds after undertaking due diligence. There has been no change in the
process used by the Company to manage its risks from prior periods.

(h) Sensitivity analysis


The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation (gratuity) to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

Change in Impact on defined benefit obligation (gratuity)


assumption Increase/ Increase in assumption Decrease in assumption
by decrease 31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19 31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Discounting rate 0.50% in ` lakhs (167.32) (156.33) 177.44 165.89

Mortality rate 10.00% in ` lakhs (0.90) (0.30) 0.90 0.30
in % -0.02% -0.01% 0.02% 0.01%

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In
practise, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. The methods and types of
assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

(i) Defined benefit liability (gratuity) and employer contributions


The Company remains committed to fund all gratuity payments falling due and shall strive to gradually reduce the deficit
in funding of its obligation in the coming years.

financial year.
The weighted average duration of the defined gratuity obligation (on discounted cash flow basis) as at 31 March 2020 is
6 years (31 March 2019: 7 years).

The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted defined benefit obligation (gratuity) as at 31 March 2020 is as follows:
Less than Between Between Over Total

NOTE 40: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


For the purpose of capital management, capital includes net debt and total equity of the Company. The primary objective of the
capital management is to maximize shareholder value along with an objective to keep the leverage in check in view of cyclical
capital intensive sugar business of the Company.
One of the major businesses of the Company is the sugar business, a seasonal industry, where the entire production occurs in about
five to six months which is sold throughout the year. Thus, it necessitates keeping high levels of sugar inventory requiring high
working capital funding. Sugar business being also a cyclical business, it is prudent to avoid high leverage and the resultant high
finance cost. It is the endeavour of the Company to prune down debts to acceptable levels based on its financial position.
The Company may resort to further issue of capital when the funds are required to make the Company stronger financially or to
invest in projects meeting the ROI expectations of the Company.
The Company monitors capital structure through gearing ratio represented by debt-equity ratio (debt total equity). The gearing
ratios for the Company as at the end of reporting period were as follows:
As at As at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Non-current borrowings (note 16) 44359.64 37349.54
Current borrowings (note 20) 94343.87 123540.95
Current maturities of long-term borrowings (note 17) 14306.72 7544.25
Total debt 153010.23 168434.74
Add: Deferred revenue arising from government grant related to borrowings 2805.32 4155.65
(refer note 19)
Less: Cash and cash equivalents [note 12(a)] (3058.30) (1367.60)
Net debt 152757.25 171222.79
Total equity (note 14 & note 15) 127065.34 107828.80
Net debt to equity ratio 1.20 1.59
Long term debt equity ratio 0.48 0.45

In addition to the above gearing ratio, the Company also looks at operating profit to total debt ratio (EBITDA Total Debts) which gives
an indication of adequacy of earnings to service the debts. The Company carefully negotiates the terms and conditions of the loans
and ensures adherence to all the financial covenants. With a view to arrive at the desired capital structure based on the financial
condition of the Company, the Company normally incorporates a clause in loan agreements for prepayment of loans without any
premium. During the year, majority of the long term debts availed by the Company are with interest subvention under various
schemes of the Government.
Further, no changes were made in the objectives, policies or process for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2020
and 31 March 2019.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 41: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT


The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose
of the financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade
and other receivables and cash and bank balances that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds investments
measured at fair value through profit or loss and enters into derivative transactions, which are not extensive.
The Company’s activities expose it mainly to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The monitoring and management of such
risks is undertaken by the senior management of the Company and there are appropriate policies and procedures in place through

198
Annual Report 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

which such financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The
Company has specialised teams to undertake derivative activities for risk management purposes and such team has appropriate
skills, experience and expertise. It is the Company policy not to carry out any trading in derivative for speculative purposes. The
Audit Committee and the Board are regularly apprised of these risks every quarter and each such risk and mitigation measures are
extensively discussed.

(i) Credit risk


Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations to pay, resulting in financial loss to the Company.
The Company is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables. The credit risks in respect of
deposits with the banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments are nominal.

(a) Credit risk management


The customer credit risk is managed by each business subject to the Company’s established policy, procedure and
controls relating to customer credit risk management. Various businesses require different processes and policies to be
followed based on the business risks, industry practice and customer profiles.
In the case of Sugar business, majority of the sales are made either against advance payments or on very short credit
period upto 7-10 days to established sugar agents whereas in Cogeneration and Distillery, most of the sales are made
to Government customers, such as, State Electricity Board (UPPCL) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). There may be
delays, generally not exceeding one year, in receiving payments from UPPCL but the risk in respect of realisation of dues
is minimal. In Gear business, it is the policy of the Company to receive payment prior to delivery of the material except in
the case of some well established OEMs, including group companies and public sector undertakings, where the credit up
to 90 days is extended. Water business is engaged in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) business in the
municipal and industrial sectors where it is customary to have prescribed retentions which are payable upon completion
of the project and after satisfactory performance of the plant.
In order to contain the business risk, creditworthiness of the customer is ensured through scrutiny of its financials,
status of financial closure of the project, if required, market reports and reference checks. The Company remains vigilant
and regularly assesses the financial position of customers during execution of contracts with a view to restrict risks of
delays and default. In view of its diversified business profile and considering the size of the Company, credit risks from
receivables are well contained on an overall basis.
The impairment analysis is performed on each reporting period on individual basis for major customers. In addition, a
large number of receivables are grouped and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation of impairment loss
is based on historical data of losses, current conditions and forecasts and future economic conditions. The Company’s
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each financial asset as detailed in note
6, 7, 8, 9 and 12.
The business wise receivable position as at the end of the year is provided here below:

(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

In the case of Cogeneration and Water business, the % receivables to external sales is high whereas the overall ratio for
the Company is much lower. In the case of Cogeneration, the entire receivables are pertaining to UP Government owned
UPPCL as the surplus power is exported to it in accordance with the long term PPA executed with it. Though there have
been delays in receiving payments from UPPCL, there has never been any default. In the case of EPC projects undertaken
by Water business, the receivables are high as per the norms of the industry and terms of the tender. Majority of projects
are executed for the municipalities and before bidding for any contract, the Water business carries out due-diligence to
ensure that the customer has made satisfactory funding arrangements.
Overall, the credit risk from receivable is low in view of diverse businesses and government customers.

(b) Provision for expected credit losses


Basis as explained above, life time expected credit loss (“ECL”) is determined on trade receivables except in cases
where advance payment terms are prescribed or payment is due from Central State Government or Government
Authorities entities where there is no track record of short receipts. ECL arising from delays in receiving payments
from the Government customers pursuant to sale of goods or under construction contracts are not considered if such
delays are commonly prevalent in the industry and or the delays are not exceeding one year. All other short receipts,
other than arising from expense claims, are duly considered in determining ECL. In view of the business model of the
Company’s engineered-to-order products and the profile of trade receivables, the determination of provision based
on age analysis may not be realistic and hence, the provision of expected credit loss is determined for the total trade
receivables outstanding as on the reporting date. This provision for ECL is made in addition to the specific credit losses,
if any, provided on specific financial assets.
Provision matrix (%, amounts) of ECL for trade receivables (other than specific credit losses separately recognised) is as under:
ECL amount ECL amount
Business % ECL
as at 31-Mar-20 as at 31-Mar-19
Sugar Nil Nil Nil

(ii) Liquidity risk


The Company uses liquidity forecast tools to manage its liquidity. The Company operates capital intensive sugar business
and has obligation to timely make cane price payments within the statutory time period. The Company is able to organise
liquidity through own funds and through working capital loans. The Company has good relationship with its lenders and has
not defaulted at any point of time in the past, as a result of which it does not experience any difficulty in arranging funds from
its lenders. However, when the sugar fundamentals are unfavourable, either due to market forces or due to excessive cane
pricing by the Government, the payment of cane price gets delayed. However, it is the endeavour of the Company to make cane
payment on a priority basis. It is the objective and focus of the Company to reduce debts to be able to meet the cyclicalities of
the sugar business.

Apart from cyclical sugar business, the Company has alternate revenue streams in the form of cogeneration, distillery and
engineering business, which, to a large extent, offset the impact of sugar cyclicalities.

Table hereunder provides the current ratios of the Company as at the year end
As at As at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Total current assets 268153.86 256652.85
Total current liabilities 209391.84 217698.16
Current ratio 1.28 1.18
In view of seasonal nature of sugar business, which is a dominant business of the Company, there is a peak build-up of sugar
inventories at the year end, resulting in peak working capital requirement. With the liquidation of such inventories over the
year, the working capital requirement is gradually reduced. Thus, the current ratio computed at the year end is not a reflection
of average and realistic ratio for the year.

(a) Maturities of financial instruments


Maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities:

repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of

(iii) Market risk


The Company is exposed to following key market risks:
(a) Interest rate risk on loans and borrowings
(b) Sugar price risk
(c) Other market risks

(a) Interest rate risk


Most of the borrowings availed by the Company are subject to interest on floating rate basis linked to the MCLR (Marginal
Cost of funds based Lending Rate) or LIBOR (London Interbank Offer Rate). In view of the fact that the total borrowings of
the Company are quite substantial, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk.
The strategy of the Company to opt for floating interest rates is helpful in maintaining market related realistic rates.
Further, most of the loans and borrowings have a prepayment clause through which the loans could be prepaid without
any prepayment premium. The said clause helps the Company to arrange debt substitution to bring down the interest
costs or to prepay the loans out of the surplus funds held. The interest rate risk is largely mitigated as 99% of the long
term debts as at 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019 : 92% of long term debts), comprises loans carrying concessional
interest rates interest subvention.
While declining interest rates would be beneficial to the Company, adverse interest rate fluctuations could increase the
finance cost. The total impact, in respect of borrowings on floating interest rate basis, is limited as per sensitivity analysis
provided here under:

Year ended Year ended


31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Total debt as at the end of the year 153010.23 168434.74
Debt at floating rate of interest as at the end of the year 124478.82 134542.04
Average availment of borrowings at floating rate of interest 127516.81 79427.21
Impact of 1% interest rate variation 1275.17 794.27

The above sensitivity has been computed after excluding the impact of change in interest rates of the floating interest
rate foreign currency borrowing having balance of USD 1,792,114.69 @ 4.833% p.a. (i.e. 6 months LIBOR plus 1.95%) as
at 31 March 2019, fully repaid during the current year, since same has been hedged through interest rate swap @ fixed
interest rate 8.5% p.a.

(b) Sugar price risk


The sugar prices are dependent inter-alia on domestic and global sugar balance - higher supplies lead to softening of
sugar prices whereas higher demand than available supplies lead to hardening of sugar prices. The Company sells most
of its sugar in the domestic market where there are no effective mechanism available to hedge sugar prices in view of
limited breadth in the commodity exchanges. The Company also exports sugar in the years of surplus production based
on Government policy and incentives being offered.

Adverse changes in sugar price impact the Company in the following manner:
- The Company values sugar stocks at lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). In the event, the cost of production
of sugar is higher than the NRV, the stocks are written down to NRV leading to recognition of loss on such inventory.
- The Company is a large producer of sugar and even a small variation in the sugar price leads to significant impact
on the profitability of the Company.

Annual Report 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

Sensitivity analysis in respect of sugar price risk is provided here below:


Year ended Year ended
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Annual production of sugar (MT) 971918 904663
Impact of sugar price variation by ` 1000 MT 9719.18 9046.63

However, in view of sugar operations being highly efficient, the cost of production is generally lower than the Minimum
Sale Prices (MSP) prescribed by the Central Government for sale of sugar and hence, chances of significant losses due
to inventory write down are low. Further, in view of floor prices being prescribed by way of MSP, the downside impact on
the Company is limited.

(c) Other market risks


The other market risks includes Equity price risk and Foreign currency risk.
Equity price risk in respect of listed and non listed equity securities which are susceptible to market price risk
arising from uncertainties about future value of the investment securities. In view of nominal value of investments being
held by the Company, other than in the subsidiaries and associates which are measured at cost, the magnitude of risk
is only nominal.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on account of foreign currency loans receivables and foreign
exchange trades.

Further, the impact of change in foreign currency rates (assuming forward premium to remain unchanged) on the fair
valuation of derivatives (excluding derivatives which have hedged the foreign currency denominated receivables and
payables) as at the end of the year, is demonstrated in the table below. However, apart from the impact on the profit or
loss due to fair value changes of the derivatives, the derivatives will help the Company in capturing the hedged rates
including forward premium and the budgeted profitability will remain unaffected.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that
are recognised and measured at fair value. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair
value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An
explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Annual Report 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted unadjusted market prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity
instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting date.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant
inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.

(iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value


Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the fair value of derivatives (viz. foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps)
is determined using market observable inputs, including prevalent forward rates for the maturities of the respective
contracts and interest rate curves as indicated by banks and third parties.
- the fair value of bonds is determined using observable market data of yield to maturity and coupon rates of securities.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2.

(iv) Valuation processes


The Corporate finance team has requisite knowledge and skills in valuation of financial instruments. The team headed by
Group CFO directly reports to the audit committee on the fair value of financial instruments.

(v) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are required)
Except as detailed in the following table, the management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial
liabilities recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values

(a) The fair values for trade receivables and trade payables which are expected to be settled after twelve months (including
those which are within the operating cycle) are computed based on discounted cash flows. They are classified as level
3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
The carrying amounts of the remaining trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be the same as their fair
values, due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 44: LEASES


As Lessee
The Company had acquired a land with original lease term of ninety years and had paid one-time payment of lease charges (i.e. the
market value of the land) in respect of this lease at the inception of lease. There are no further future lease maintenance payments,
no contingent rent or restriction imposed under the lease agreement and the Company has transfer rights in respect of such land.
In terms of criteria specified in previous accounting standard on leases i.e. Ind AS 17 Leases, such lease had been classified as
finance lease till last year. Consequent to the replacement of this accounting standard with Ind AS 116 Leases (refer note 49), the
land acquired under the aforesaid lease has been recognised as Right-of-use assets during the current year (refer note 3).

Apart from above mentioned lease, assets taken under lease mainly includes various residential, office and godown premises.
These are generally not non-cancellable leases (except for few premises) having unexpired period upto six years. The leases are
renewable by mutual consent and on mutually agreeable terms. The Company has given refundable interest free security deposits
under certain lease agreements. There is no contingent rent, sublease payments or restriction imposed in the lease agreement.
In terms of criteria specified in previous accounting standard on leases i.e. Ind AS 17 Leases, these leases had been classified as
operating lease and yearly lease payments under these leases were expensed off as rent expenses till last year (refer note 33).
Consequent to the replacement of this accounting standard with Ind AS 116 Leases (refer note 49), for some of these leases (i.e.
leases other than with short term period or low value assets), present value of all future lease payments has been recognised as
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with the charge for depreciation on Right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in
the statement of profit and loss during the current year (refer note 3 & 30) and for other leases, yearly lease payments continued
to be expensed off on straight line basis over lease term as rent expenses (refer note 33).

Amounts recognised as expense

Total cash outflow for leases during the year ended 31 March 2020 is ` 809.87 lakhs.

Commitments for short term leases as at 31 March 2020 is ` 26.39 lakhs.

As Lessor
The Company has given certain portion of its office factory premises under operating leases including lease of investment
property (refer note 4)]. These leases are not non-cancellable and are extendable by mutual consent and at mutually agreeable
terms. The gross carrying amount, accumulated depreciation and depreciation recognised in the statement of profit and loss in
respect of such portion of the leased premises are not separately identifiable. There is no impairment loss in respect of such
premises. No contingent rent has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss. There are no minimum future lease payments
as there are no non-cancellable leases. Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss under “Other income”
(refer note 25). Lease income earned by the Company from its investment properties and direct operating expenses arising on the
investment properties for the year is set out in note 4.

NOTE 49: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Ind AS 116 Leases was notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on 30 March 2019 and it replaced Ind AS 17 Leases, including
appendices thereto. Effective 1 April 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 Leases and applied the same to lease contracts
existing as at 1 April 2019. Accordingly, the Company has recognised Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities (refer note 3, 17 &
44). In the statement of profit and loss for the current year, the nature of expenses in respect of operating leases has changed from
Rent expense in previous year to Depreciation expense for the Right-to-use assets and Finance cost for interest accrued on lease
liabilities (refer note 3, 30 & 33). Ind AS 116 Leases has been applied using the cumulative effect method and hence the comparative
information is not restated. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the financial results of the Company.

(a) Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned as receipt of consideration is conditional on successful
achievement of milestones. Upon achievement of milestones contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.
A trade receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is billed on the customer and which
become due unconditionally (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Different businesses of the Group have their different credit terms [refer note 41 (i)].
Contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses is compared with the progress billings
raised on the customer - any surplus is considered as contract assets and shown as amounts due from customers
under construction contracts, whereas any shortfall is considered as contract liabilities and shown as the amounts
due to customers under construction contracts. Amounts of revenue earned for work performed pending billing on
customers is considered as contract assets and shown as unbilled revenue. Amounts billed for work performed which
will become due upon fulfillment of specified conditions is considered as contract assets and shown as customer
retentions. Amounts received before the related work is performed is considered as contract liabilities and is shown
as advances from customers
(b) Significant changes in contract assets and liabilities:
Decrease in contract assets (Due from customers under construction contracts) is mainly attributable to sewage
treatment projects in the municipal segment, where substantial work was performed by the Group during the last year
against which bills were raised on the customer during the current year upon achievement of contractual milestones.

I ncrease in contract assets (customer retentions) is mainly attributable to wastewater sewage treatment projects in the
industrial municipal segment which were started during last year, where significant billing is done during the current
year with the progress in project work but will become due upon fulfillment of specified conditions.

Increase in contract liabilities (Amount due to customers under construction contracts) is mainly attributable to
wastewater sewage treatment projects in the industrial municipal segment, where major billing done based on
achievement of contractual milestones is in excess of revenue recognised in accordance with Ind AS 115 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.

Decrease in contract liabilities (Advances from Customers) is mainly attributable to adjustment of mobilsation advances
against billings under water waste-water treatment projects.

(c) Revenue recognised in relation to contract liabilities:

contract liabilities and how much relates to performance obligations that were satisfied in a prior year.

Upon review of alternatives available to the Company, the current tax charge has been arrived at without opting for the lower tax rate
and attendant conditions prescribed under section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as introduced by The Taxation Laws (Amendment)
Act, 2019. Based upon the assessment carried out by the Company as to when it expects to opt for the lower tax rate, the Company has
remeasured its deferred tax liabilities in accordance with Ind AS 12 Income Taxes, using the dual tax rates as presently enacted and as a
consequence, the deferred tax charge for the year is lower by ` 4059.47 lakhs.

Further, with the change in taxation laws relating to taxability of dividend and removal of dividend distribution tax, the Company
has provided deferred tax charge of ` 1394.70 lakhs in respect of its share in the undistributed profits of its associate, net of
reversal of impact of dividend distribution tax considered in arriving at Company’s share in the undistributed profits of the said
associate in earlier years.

NOTE 38: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


(i) Defined contribution plans
(a) The Group contributes to certain defined contribution retirement benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed
contributions to separate entities (funds) or financial institutions or state managed benefit schemes. The Group has no
further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Following are the schemes covered under defined
contributions plans of the Group:
Provident Fund Plan & Employee Pension Scheme: The Group makes monthly contributions at prescribed rates towards
Employee Provident Fund Employee Pension Scheme administered and managed by the Government of India. The
Group had also set up a Provident Fund Trust, to secure the provident fund dues in respect of a specific establishment
of the Group. During the year, the Group has voluntarily applied for surrender of the exemption under section 17(1)
(a) of Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 granted to the said establishment. Pursuant
to the directions subsequently received from the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Meerut (RPFC) to comply
as an unexempted establishment, the Group has started depositing provident fund contributions in relation to such
establishment with the RPFC w.e.f. 1 November 2019 (i.e. contributions pertaining to the salary payable for the month of
October 2019) and has also initiated the process of transferring the accumulated balances standing to the credit of all
the members of the said Provident Fund Trust into their respective member accounts to be maintained in future under
the Employee Provident Fund Scheme administered and managed by the Government of India. The Group is committed
to ensure that all such accumulated balances of the members are credited with the interest calculated at the applicable
rate announced by the Government of India till the date of settlement. Any shortfall arising to the Trust (after considering
amounts receivable on account of disposal realisation transfer of investments held by it) in meeting such obligation,
shall be met by the Group. The Group has accordingly, during the year, provided for an amount of ` 189.50 lakhs on an
estimate basis (included in contribution to provident and other funds shown under employee benefits expense), towards
meeting such shortfall, which has mainly arisen due to diminution in the value of bonds issued by certain private sector
non-banking financial companies in view of their delinquencies defaults.

Employee State Insurance: The Group makes prescribed monthly contributions towards Employees State Insurance
Scheme.

Superannuation Scheme: The Group contributes towards a fund established to provide superannuation benefit to
certain employees in terms of Group Superannuation Policies entered into by such fund with the Life Insurance
Corporation of India.

National Pension Scheme: The Group makes contributions to the National Pension Scheme fund in respect of certain
employees of the Group.

(b) The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plans are as follows:

related administration and other expenses of ` 4.19 lakhs (31 March 2019: ` 8.44 lakhs) towards Provident Fund Trust

(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

(ii) Defined benefit plan (Gratuity)


(a) The Group operates a defined benefit retirement plan under which the Group pays certain defined benefit by way of
gratuity to its employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement termination
of employment or upon death of an employee, based on the respective employees’ salary and years of employment with
the Group.

(b) Risk exposure


The plan typically exposes the Group to number of actuarial risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risk: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with references to government bond yields
as at end of reporting period; if plan assets under perform compared to the government bonds discount rate, this
will create or increase a deficit. The investments in plan assets are made in accordance with pattern of investment
prescribed by central government and ensures that the funds are invested in a balanced mix of investments comprising
central government securities, state government securities, other debt instruments as well as equity instruments. Most
of the plan investments is in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. The Group has a risk
management strategy which defines exposure limits and acceptable credit risk rating.

Interest risk: A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this is expected to be partially
offset by an increase in the value of the plan’s debt instruments.
Life expectancy: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of
the mortality of plan participants during their employment. A change in the life expectancy of the plan participants will
impact the plan’s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Attrition rate: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is impacted by the rate of employee turnover,
disability and early retirement of plan participants. A change in the attrition rate of the plan participants will impact the
plan’s liability.

(c) The significant actuarial assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
Valuation as at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Discounting rate 6.60% 7.55%
Future salary growth rate 5.50% for next 8.00%

*Assumptions regarding future mortality are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics (i.e. IALM 2012-14
Ultimate). These assumptions translate into an average life expectancy in years at retirement age.

The investible funds of the Gratuity Plan are invested in accordance with the investment pattern and norms prescribed
by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The investment pattern mandates that the investible funds are
invested across the permitted investments in the prescribed pattern, whereby the investment risk is spread across
various categories of investment comprising sovereign government securities, state development loans monitored
by the Reserve Bank of India, investment grade rated debt securities issued by private and public sector companies,
fixed-deposit with banks fulfilling the prescribed norms, units of debt and equity mutual funds. The investments made
are generally on held-to-maturity basis. It is the endeavour of the Group to mitigate risk by investing only in high-quality
debt securities and in mutual funds after undertaking due diligence. There has been no change in the process used by
the Group to manage its risks from prior periods.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In
practise, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. The methods and types of
assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

(i) Defined benefit liability (gratuity) and employer contributions


The Group remains committed to fund all gratuity payments falling due and shall strive to gradually reduce the deficit in
funding of its obligation in the coming years.
The Group expects to contribute ` 841.31 lakhs to the defined benefit plan relating to gratuity during the next
financial year.
The weighted average duration of the defined gratuity obligation (on discounted cash flow basis) as at 31 March 2020 is
6 years (31 March 2019: 7 years).

The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted defined benefit obligation (gratuity) as at 31 March 2020 is as follows:

NOTE 40: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


For the purpose of capital management, capital includes net debt and total equity of the Group. The primary objective of the capital
management is to maximize shareholder value along with an objective to keep the leverage in check in view of cyclical capital
intensive sugar business of the Group.
One of the major businesses of the Group is the sugar business, a seasonal industry, where the entire production occurs in about
five to six months which is sold throughout the year. Thus, it necessitates keeping high levels of sugar inventory requiring high
working capital funding. Sugar business being also a cyclical business, it is prudent to avoid high leverage and the resultant high
finance cost. It is the endeavour of the Group to prune down debts to acceptable levels based on its financial position.
The Group may resort to further issue of capital when the funds are required to make the Group stronger financially or to invest in
projects meeting the ROI expectations of the Group.
The Group monitors capital structure through gearing ratio represented by debt-equity ratio (debt total equity). The gearing ratios
for the Group as at the end of reporting period were as follows:

As at As at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Non-current borrowings (note 17) 44359.64 37349.54
Current borrowings (note 21) 94343.87 123540.95
Current maturities of long-term borrowings (note 18) 14306.72 7544.25
Total debt 153010.23 168434.74
Add: Deferred revenue arising from government grant related to borrowings 2805.32 4155.65
(refer note 20)
Less: Cash and cash equivalents [note 12(a)] (3203.61) (1461.57)
Net debt 152611.94 171128.82
Total equity (note 14, 15 & 16) 133866.84 114052.48
Net debt to equity ratio 1.14 1.50
Long term debt equity ratio 0.46 0.43

In addition to the above gearing ratio, the Group also looks at operating profit to total debt ratio (EBITDA Total Debts) which
gives an indication of adequacy of earnings to service the debts. The Group carefully negotiates the terms and conditions of the
loans and ensures adherence to all the financial covenants. With a view to arrive at the desired capital structure based on the
financial condition of the Group, the Group normally incorporates a clause in loan agreements for prepayment of loans without any
premium. During the year, majority of the long term debts availed by the Group are with interest subvention under various schemes
of the Government.
Further, no changes were made in the objectives, policies or process for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2020
and 31 March 2019.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 41: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT


The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose
of the financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other
receivables and cash and bank balances that derive directly from its operations. The Group also holds investments measured at
fair value through profit or loss and enters into derivative transactions, which are not extensive.
The Group’s activities expose it mainly to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The monitoring and management of such risks
is undertaken by the senior management of the Group and there are appropriate policies and procedures in place through which

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

such financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. The Group
has specialised teams to undertake derivative activities for risk management purposes and such team has appropriate skills,
experience and expertise. It is the Group policy not to carry out any trading in derivative for speculative purposes. The Audit
Committee and the Board are regularly apprised of these risks every quarter and each such risk and mitigation measures are
extensively discussed.

(i) Credit risk


Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations to pay, resulting in financial loss to the Group.
The Group is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables. The credit risks in respect of
deposits with the banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments are nominal.

(a) Credit risk management


The customer credit risk is managed by each business subject to the Group’s established policy, procedure and controls
relating to customer credit risk management. Various businesses require different processes and policies to be followed
based on the business risks, industry practice and customer profiles.
In the case of Sugar business, majority of the sales are made either against advance payments or on very short credit
period upto 7-10 days to established sugar agents whereas in Cogeneration and Distillery, most of the sales are made
to Government customers, such as, State Electricity Board (UPPCL) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). There may be
delays, generally not exceeding one year, in receiving payments from UPPCL but the risk in respect of realisation of dues
is minimal. In Gear business, it is the policy of the Group to receive payment prior to delivery of the material except in the
case of some well established OEMs, including public sector undertakings, where the credit up to 90 days is extended.
Water business is engaged in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) business in the municipal and industrial
sectors where it is customary to have prescribed retentions which are payable upon completion of the project and after
satisfactory performance of the plant.
In order to contain the business risk, creditworthiness of the customer is ensured through scrutiny of its financials,
status of financial closure of the project, if required, market reports and reference checks. The Group remains vigilant
and regularly assesses the financial position of customers during execution of contracts with a view to restrict risks
of delays and default. In view of its diversified business profile and considering the size of the Group, credit risks from
receivables are well contained on an overall basis.
The impairment analysis is performed on each reporting period on individual basis for major customers. In addition,
a large number of receivables are grouped and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation of impairment
loss is based on historical data of losses, current conditions and forecasts and future economic conditions. The Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each financial asset as detailed in note
6, 7, 8, 9 and 12.
The business wise receivable position as at the end of the year is provided here below:

Annual Report 2019-20

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

In the case of Cogeneration and Water business, the % receivables to external sales is high whereas the overall ratio for
the Group is much lower. In the case of Cogeneration, the entire receivables are pertaining to UP Government owned
UPPCL as the surplus power is exported to it in accordance with the long term PPA executed with it. Though there have
been delays in receiving payments from UPPCL, there has never been any default. In the case of EPC projects undertaken
by Water business, the receivables are high as per the norms of the industry and terms of the tender. Majority of projects
are executed for the municipalities and before bidding for any contract, the Water business carries out due-diligence to
ensure that the customer has made satisfactory funding arrangements.
Overall, the credit risk from receivable is low in view of diverse businesses and government customers.

(b) Provision for expected credit losses


Basis as explained above, life time expected credit loss (“ECL”) is determined on trade receivables except in cases
where advance payment terms are prescribed or payment is due from Central State Government or Government
Authorities entities where there is no track record of short receipts. ECL arising from delays in receiving payments
from the Government customers pursuant to sale of goods or under construction contracts are not considered if such
delays are commonly prevalent in the industry and or the delays are not exceeding one year. All other short receipts,
other than arising from expense claims, are duly considered in determining ECL. In view of the business model of
the Group’s engineered-to-order products and the profile of trade receivables, the determination of provision based
on age analysis may not be realistic and hence, the provision of expected credit loss is determined for the total trade
receivables outstanding as on the reporting date. This provision for ECL is made in addition to the specific credit losses,
if any, provided on specific financial assets.
Provision matrix (%, amounts) of ECL for trade receivables (other than specific credit losses separately recognised) is as under:
ECL amount ECL amount
Business % ECL
as at 31-Mar-20 as at 31-Mar-19
Sugar Nil Nil Nil

(ii) Liquidity risk


The Group uses liquidity forecast tools to manage its liquidity. The Group operates capital intensive sugar business and
has obligation to timely make cane price payments within the statutory time period. The Group is able to organise liquidity
through own funds and through working capital loans. The Group has good relationship with its lenders and has not
defaulted at any point of time in the past, as a result of which it does not experience any difficulty in arranging funds from
its lenders. However, when the sugar fundamentals are unfavourable, either due to market forces or due to excessive cane
pricing by the Government, the payment of cane price gets delayed. However, it is the endeavour of the Group to make cane
payment on a priority basis. It is the objective and focus of the Group to reduce debts to be able to meet the cyclicalities of the
sugar business.

Apart from cyclical sugar business, the Group has alternate revenue streams in the form of cogeneration, distillery and
engineering business, which, to a large extent, offset the impact of sugar cyclicalities.

Table hereunder provides the current ratios of the Group as at the year end:
As at As at
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Total current assets 273105.18 257549.94
Total current liabilities 210714.55 218593.00
Current ratio 1.30 1.18
In view of seasonal nature of sugar business, which is a dominant business of the Group, there is a peak build-up of sugar
inventories at the year end, resulting in peak working capital requirement. With the liquidation of such inventories over the
year, the working capital requirement is gradually reduced. Thus, the current ratio computed at the year end is not a reflection
of average and realistic ratio for the year.

Maturities of derivative financial instruments:


The Group enters into derivative contracts (viz. foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency swaps and interest
rate swaps) to manage some of its foreign currency exposures and interest rate exposures that are settled on a net basis.
Derivative liability (net) are of ` 2.19 lakhs as at 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019 : derivative asset (net) ` 65.11 lakhs),
shall mature within one year from reporting date.

(iii) Market risk


The Group is exposed to following key market risks:
(a) Interest rate risk on loans and borrowings
(b) Sugar price risk
(c) Other market risks

(a) Interest rate risk


Most of the borrowings availed by the Group are subject to interest on floating rate basis linked to the MCLR (Marginal
Cost of funds based Lending Rate) or LIBOR (London Interbank Offer Rate). In view of the fact that the total borrowings of
the Group are quite substantial, the Group is exposed to interest rate risk.
The strategy of the Group to opt for floating interest rates is helpful in maintaining market related realistic rates. Further,
most of the loans and borrowings have a prepayment clause through which the loans could be prepaid without any
prepayment premium. The said clause helps the Group to arrange debt substitution to bring down the interest costs or
to prepay the loans out of the surplus funds held. The interest rate risk is largely mitigated as 99% of the long term debts
as at 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019 : 92% of long term debts), comprises loans carrying concessional interest rates
interest subvention.
While declining interest rates would be beneficial to the Group, adverse interest rate fluctuations could increase the
finance cost. The total impact, in respect of borrowings on floating interest rate basis, is limited as per sensitivity analysis
provided here under:
Year ended Year ended
31-Mar-20 31-Mar-19
Total debt as at the end of the year 153010.23 168434.74
Debt at floating rate of interest as at the end of the year 124478.82 134542.04
Average availment of borrowings at floating rate of interest 127516.81 79427.21
Impact of 1% interest rate variation 1275.17 794.27

The above sensitivity has been computed after excluding the impact of change in interest rates of the floating interest
rate foreign currency borrowing having balance of USD 1,792,114.69 @ 4.833% p.a. (i.e. 6 months LIBOR plus 1.95%) as
at 31 March 2019, fully repaid during the current year, since same has been hedged through interest rate swap @ fixed
interest rate 8.5% p.a.

(b) Sugar price risk


The sugar prices are dependent inter-alia on domestic and global sugar balance - higher supplies lead to softening of
sugar prices whereas higher demand than available supplies lead to hardening of sugar prices. The Group sells most
of its sugar in the domestic market where there are no effective mechanism available to hedge sugar prices in view of
limited breadth in the commodity exchanges. The Group also exports sugar in the years of surplus production based on
Government policy and incentives being offered.

Adverse changes in sugar price impact the Group in the following manner:
- The Group values sugar stocks at lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). In the event, the cost of production of
sugar is higher than the NRV, the stocks are written down to NRV leading to recognition of loss on such inventory.
- The Group is a large producer of sugar and even a small variation in the sugar price leads to significant impact on
the profitability of the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


for the year ended March 31, 2020
(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

Sensitivity analysis in respect of sugar price risk is provided here below:


Year ended Year ended

Annual production of sugar (MT) 971918 904663
Impact of sugar price variation by ` 1000 MT 9719.18 9046.63

However, in view of sugar operations being highly efficient, the cost of production is generally lower than the Minimum
Sale Prices (MSP) prescribed by the Central Government for sale of sugar and hence, chances of significant losses due
to inventory write down are low. Further, in view of floor prices being prescribed by way of MSP, the downside impact on
the Group is limited.

(c) Other market risks


The other market risks includes Equity price risk and Foreign currency risk.
Equity price risk in respect of listed and non listed equity securities which are susceptible to market price risk arising
from uncertainties about future value of the investment securities. In view of nominal value of investments being held by
the Group, other than in associates which are accounted for using equity method, the magnitude of risk is only nominal.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on account of foreign currency loans receivables and foreign
exchange trades.

(ii) Fair value hierarchy


This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that
are recognised and measured at fair value. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair
value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An
explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

(All amounts in ` lakhs, unless otherwise stated)

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted unadjusted market prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity
instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting date.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant
inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.

(iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value


Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the fair value of derivatives (viz. foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps)
is determined using market observable inputs, including prevalent forward rates for the maturities of the respective
contracts and interest rate curves as indicated by banks and third parties.
- the fair value of bonds is determined using observable market data of yield to maturity and coupon rates of securities.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2.

(iv) Valuation processes


The Corporate finance team has requisite knowledge and skills in valuation of financial instruments. The team headed by
Group CFO directly reports to the audit committee on the fair value of financial instruments.

(v) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are required)
Except as detailed in the following table, the management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial
liabilities recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

(a) The fair values for trade receivables and trade payables which are expected to be settled after twelve months (including
those which are within the operating cycle) are computed based on discounted cash flows. They are classified as
level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit
risk. The carrying amounts of the remaining trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be the same as their
fair values, due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 46: LEASES


As Lessee
The Group had acquired a land with original lease term of ninety years and had paid one-time payment of lease charges (i.e. the
market value of the land) in respect of this lease at the inception of lease. There are no further future lease maintenance payments,
no contingent rent or restriction imposed under the lease agreement and the Group has transfer rights in respect of such land.
In terms of criteria specified in previous accounting standard on leases i.e. Ind AS 17 Leases, such lease had been classified as
finance lease till last year. Consequent to the replacement of this accounting standard with Ind AS 116 Leases (refer note 50), the
land acquired under the aforesaid lease has been recognised as Right-of-use assets during the current year (refer note 3).

Apart from above mentioned lease, assets taken under lease mainly includes various residential, office and godown premises.
These are generally not non-cancellable leases (except for few premises) having unexpired period upto six years. The leases are
renewable by mutual consent and on mutually agreeable terms. The Group has given refundable interest free security deposits
under certain lease agreements. There is no contingent rent, sublease payments or restriction imposed in the lease agreement.
In terms of criteria specified in previous accounting standard on leases i.e. Ind AS 17 Leases, these leases had been classified as
operating lease and yearly lease payments under these leases were expensed off as rent expenses till last year (refer note 34).
Consequent to the replacement of this accounting standard with Ind AS 116 Leases (refer note 50), for some of these leases (i.e.
leases other than with short term period or low value assets), present value of all future lease payments has been recognised as
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with the charge for depreciation on Right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in
the statement of profit and loss during the current year (refer note 3 & 31) and for other leases, yearly lease payments continued
to be expensed off on straight line basis over lease term as rent expenses (refer note 34).

of such portion of the leased premises are not separately identifiable. There is no impairment loss in respect of such premises.

appendices thereto. Effective April 1, 2019, the Group has adopted Ind AS 116 Leases and applied the same to lease contracts
existing as at April 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Group has recognised Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities (refer note 3, 18 & 46).

Rent expense in previous year to Depreciation expense for the Right-to-use assets and Finance cost for interest accrued on lease
