PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
In this Preliminary Placement Document, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates or implies,
references to ‘you’, ‘your’, ‘offeree’, ‘purchaser’, ‘subscriber’, ‘recipient’, ‘investors’, ‘prospective investors’ and
‘potential investor’ are to the prospective investors in this Issue, references to the ‘Company, ‘Supreme’ or ‘Issuer’ are

Joint Ventures and associate companies on a consolidated basis.
In this Preliminary Placement Document, references to ‘US$’, ‘USD’ and ‘U.S. dollars’ are to the legal currency of the
United States of America, references to ‘OMR’ are to legal currency of the Sultanate of Oman, and references to ‘₹’,
‘INR’, ‘Rs.’, ‘Indian Rupees’ and ‘Rupees’ are to the legal currency of India. All references herein to the ‘US’ or ‘U.S.’
or the ‘United States’ are to the United States of America and its territories and possessions. All references herein to
“India” are to the Republic of India and its territories and possessions and the ‘Government’ or the ‘Central
Government’ or the ‘State Government’ are to the Government of India, central or state, as applicable.
References to the singular also refers to the plural and one gender also refers to any other gender, wherever applicable,
and the words “lakh” or “lac” mean “100 thousand” and the word “million” means “10 lakh” and the word “crore”
means “10 million” or “100 lakhs” and the word “billion” means “1,000 million” or “100 crores”.
The financial year of the Company commences on April 1 of each year and ends on March 31 of the following year,
and, unless otherwise specified or if the context requires otherwise, all references to a particular ‘Fiscal Year’ or ‘fiscal’

standalone financial statements of the Company as of and for the six month period ended September 30, 2014, included
herein have been prepared in line with the accounting principles generally accepted in India and have been audited by

The Company publishes its financial statements in Indian Rupees. Unless the context otherwise requires, all financial
data in this Preliminary Placement Document are derived from our Company’s consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. Indian GAAP differs in certain significant respects from International
Financial Reporting Standards (the “IFRS”) and U.S. GAAP. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of U.S.
GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Preliminary Placement Document, nor do we provide a
reconciliation of our financial statements to those of U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Each of U.S. GAAP and IFRS differs in
significant respects from Indian GAAP. See the section “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Company and Our
Business - significant differences exist between Indian GAAP, used throughout our financial information and other
accounting principles with which investors may be more familiar” on page 52 of this Preliminary Placement Document.
Accordingly, the degree to which the financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP included in this
Preliminary Placement Document will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of
familiarity with the respective accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting
practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Preliminary Placement Document should accordingly be limited.
In this Preliminary Placement Document, certain monetary thresholds have been subjected to rounding adjustments;
accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede
them.
11
INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Information included in this Preliminary Placement Document regarding market position, growth rates and other
industry data pertaining to our businesses consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by government bodies,
professional organisations and analysts, data from other external sources and knowledge of the markets in which we
operate. Unless stated otherwise statistical information included in this Preliminary Placement Document pertaining to
the various sectors in which we operate has been reproduced from trade, industry and government publications and
websites. We confirm that such information and data has been accurately reproduced, and that as far as they are aware
and are able to ascertain from information published by third parties, no facts have been omitted that would render the
reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.
This information is subject to change and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and
reliability of the raw data and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. In many cases, there is
no readily available external information (whether from trade or industry associations, government bodies or other
organisations) to validate market-related analysis and estimates, so we have relied on internally developed estimates.
Neither we nor the Book Running Lead Managers have independently verified this data, nor do we or the Book Running
Lead Managers make any representation regarding the accuracy of such data. Similarly, while the Company believe its
internal estimates to be reasonable, such estimates have not been verified by any independent sources, and neither we
nor the Book Running Lead Managers can assure potential investors as to their accuracy.
12
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Preliminary Placement Document that are not statements of historical fact
constitute ‘forward-looking statements’. These statements express views of the management of the Company and
expectations based upon certain assumptions regarding trends in the Indian and international financial markets and
regional economies, the political climate in which the Company operates and other factors. Prospective investors can
generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘continue’, ‘can’,
‘could’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘may’, ‘objective’, ‘plan’, ‘potential’, ‘project’, ‘pursue’, ‘shall’, ‘should’, ‘will’,
‘would’, or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the strategies, objectives, plans
or goals of the Company are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of
identifying forward- looking statements.
All statements regarding the Company’s or the Groups’ expected financial conditions, results of operations, business
plans and prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements as to the
Company’s/ group’s business strategy, planned projects, revenue and profitability (including, without limitation, any
financial or operating projections or forecasts), new business and other matters discussed in this Preliminary Placement
Document that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements and any other projections contained in this
Preliminary Placement Document (whether made by the Company or any third party), are predictions and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or other projections. All forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Important factors that could cause the actual
results, performances and achievements of the Company to be materially different from any of the forward-looking
statements include, among others:
general, political, social and economic conditions in India and elsewhere;
our ability to manage growth effectively;
our ability to effectively manage our business
delays in the completion of construction of current and future projects
volatility in cost of raw materials;
our ability to compete effectively;
technological changes
changes in laws and regulations and governmental policies;
availibility of adequate debt and equity financing at reasonable terms;
changes in Indian or international interest rates; and
our dependence on, and ability to retain, our senior management team.
Additional factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially
include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the sections “Risk Factors”, “Industry Overview”, “Business” and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 36, 87, 94 and 68
respectively of this Preliminary Placement Document. The Company and the BRLMs expressly disclaim any obligation
or undertaking to release publically any updates or revision to any forward looking statements contained herein to effect
any changes in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances
on which any such statements are based.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Preliminary Placement Document are based on the beliefs of
13
management, as well as the assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management of the Company.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at this
time, it cannot assure investors that such expectations will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. In any event, these statements speak only as
of the date of this Preliminary Placement Document or the respective dates indicated in this Preliminary Placement
Document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new
information, future events, changes in assumptions or changes in factors affecting forward looking statements or
otherwise. If any of these risks and uncertainties materialise, or if any of the Company’s underlying assumptions prove
to be incorrect, the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company could differ materially from that
described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable
to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these cautionary statements. The
forward-looking statements appear in a number of places throughout this Preliminary Placement Document and include
statements regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of the Company concerning, amoung other things,
the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and dividend policy of the
Company and the industry in which we operate. In addition even if the result of operations, financial conditions,
liquidity and dividend policy of the Company and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent
with the forward-looking statements contained in this Preliminary Placement Document, those results or developments
may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
14
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. All the Directors and the key managerial
personnel named herein are residents of India and all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such
persons are located in India. As a result, it may be difficult or may not be possible for investors outside India to effect
service of process upon the Company or such persons in India, or to enforce judgments obtained against such parties
outside India.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Civil
Procedure Code (as defined below), on a statutory basis. Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code provides that a foreign
judgment shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or parties
litigating under the same title, except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent
jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of
the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognise the law
of India in cases in which such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were
opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; and (vi) where the judgment sustains a
claim founded on a breach of any law then in force in India.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.
However, Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code provides that a foreign judgment rendered by a superior court
(within the meaning of that section) in any jurisdiction outside India which the Government has by notification declared
to be a reciprocating territory, may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been
rendered by a competent court in India. However, Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code is applicable only to
monetary decrees not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or
in respect of a fine or other penalties and does not include arbitration awards.
Each of the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong has been declared by the Government to be a reciprocating
territory for the purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code, but the United States of America has not been so
declared. A judgment of a court in a jurisdiction which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced only by a fresh
suit upon the judgment and not by proceedings in execution. The suit must be brought in India within three years from
the date of the foreign judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is
unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action is brought in India.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages
awarded as excessive or inconsistent with public policy of India. Further, any judgment or award in a foreign currency
would be converted into Rupees on the date of such judgment or award and not on the date of payment. A party seeking
to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to execute such a judgment or
repatriate outside India any amount recovered, and we cannot assure that such approval will be forthcoming within a
reasonable period of time, or at all, or that conditions of such approvals would be acceptable and any such amount may
be subject to income tax in accordance with applicable laws. We cannot assure that Indian courts and/ or authorities
would not take a longer amount of time to adjudicate and conclude similar proceedings in their respective jurisdictions.
15
EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupee and the foreign currencies will affect the foreign currency
equivalent of the Rupee price of the Equity Shares traded on the Stock Exchanges. These fluctuations will also affect
the conversion into foreign currencies of any cash dividends paid in Rupees on Equity Shares.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information with respect to the exchange rate between the
Rupee and the U.S. dollar (in Rupees per U.S. dollar) The exchange rates are based on the reference rates released by
the RBI, which are available on the website of the RBI. No representation is made that any Rupee amounts could have
been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at any particular rate, the rates stated below, or at all.
On January 19, 2015, the exchange rate (RBI reference rate) was ₹ 61.70 to US$ 1.00. (Source: www.rbi.org.in)
(₹ per USD 1.00)

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS
Overview
We are a civil engineering construction company involved in the construction of roads, highways bridges, flyovers,
commercial and residential buildings, water infrastructure, power projects and railway infrastructure. We provide
construction services as an EPC contractor, principal contractor and sub-contractor across various states in India and we
undertake our road projects on a BOT basis. We have been listed on the BSE and the NSE since 2007. Our Company’s
consolidated revenue for FY 2014, FY 2013 and FY 2012 amounted to ₹ 25,904.74 million, ₹ 23,382.94 million and ₹
17,307.39 million, respectively, and for the six months period ended September 30, 2014 on a standalone basis, amounted
to ₹ 7,026.10 million.
The business of our Company is segregated into the following independent business verticals:
Roads Division: Over the past decade, our Company has developed core expertise in the field of construction of roads
and highways. Our roads division undertakes the construction, realignment, widening, strengthening, rehabilitation,
upgrading and maintenance of highways, carriageways and roads in India. Under this business vertical we are also
engaged in the construction of flexible pavements. As on September 30, 2014 the outstanding order book of the roads
division of our Company was ₹ 20,663 million. We undertake to design and execute construction projects to our
client’s requirement on a turnkey basis. In the roads and highway sector, we also undertake to work on a ‘build,
operate and transfer’ or BOT basis through our subsidiary companies viz. Supreme Infrastructure BOT Private
Limited and Supreme Infrastructure BOT Holdings Limited.
Bridges Division: Our bridges division has undertaken projects for design and construction of flyovers, and
underpasses. We have also undertaken special bridges projects like the stay cable bridges. As on September 30, 2014
the outstanding orders of the bridges division of our Company was ₹ 3,964 million.
Buildings Division: Our Company has undertaken the construction of commercial buildings, information technology
parks, hospitals, residential townships for the Indian army, temples, schools, and construction and strengthening of
nallahs. As on September 30, 2014 the order book of the buildings division stood at ₹ 20,102 million.
Power Division: Our Company has undertaken work for distribution of power at the domestic user end by means of
cable laying and installation of step-down & step-up voltage stabilizers on EPC basis. As on September 30, 2014, the
outstanding order book of the power projects of our Company was ₹ 2,277 million.
Water Infrastructure Division: Our water infrastructure division has undertaken integrated engineering and design
works for various water work related projects such as design & construction of water pumping stations, sewage

well as sewage and storm water systems are also executed by our Company. We also undertake works for
implementing irrigation projects such as canal lining and other allied works. As on September 30, 2014 the
outstanding order book of the water infrastructure division of our Company was ₹ 5,132 million.
Railway Division: Our Company is involved in the construction of funicular railway bridges, extension of bridges,
extension of platforms and construction of car sheds. As on September 30, 2014 our Company has a railway projects
order book of ₹ 543 million.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the following as our principal competitive strengths:
Experience and know how
With over 10 years of experience in executing road and highway projects, beginning with the road sector including
highways, and subsequently expanding to the building, power, water infrastructure and railway infrastructure sectors
across the country, we believe we have developed in depth industry expertise across infrastructure projects. We have
undertaken multiple projects on a BOT basis as well. Prior experience in BOT projects is an important prequalification
criterion for certain of the more significant BOT projects. This track record enables us to meet the technical
prequalification requirements for bidding for potential projects.
26
Strong Order Book and diversified portfolio across various sectors and geographic locations
Our Company’s total outstanding Order Book as on September 30, 2014 was ₹ 52,681 million, diversified across sectors
and geographies.
Our projects are geographically dispersed across various states in the country. Through a presence in different sectors and
in different regions of the country, we believe we are able to mitigate concentration risks associated with operations in
specific segment and specific regions. We have a presence across India and currently provide services across various
states. Our operations are supported by our corporate headquarters in Mumbai, our regional offices in Gurgaon and
Kolkata.
We believe we have created a diversified and sustainable business model, which has grown our revenues. We also believe
that such a diversified business portfolio diminishes the risks associated with the dynamics of any particular sector while
also simultaneously helping us to benefit from the synergies of operating diverse businesses.
Backward Integration
Our Company has 7 quarries and several crusher plants, RMC plants and asphalt plants. We have undertaken backward
integration to manufacture ready mix concrete, asphalt and wet mix mecadam which is used for our construction activity.
The availability of the ready mix transit mixers enables us to service multiple locations for our contracts from a single
nodal point. This in turn helps us in timely servicing of multi-location requirements. Use of ready mix for various projects
undertaken by the Company and sale of this ready mix to third parties results in augmenting our revenues and margins.
We also have access to raw materials that are produced in house. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted supply of raw
materials enabling timely delivery of projects and higher margins. This also reduces the effect of increasing prices of the
raw materials. We handle diverse construction projects, each having its own set of requirements and technical challenges.
Having such an asset base provides assurance on quality of supplies and is advantageous for our business giving us an
edge over our competitors.
Proven execution capabilities
On-time performance
We have received appreciation from our clients for on time completion in relation to the following projects:
North and South Kasheli Bridge Project; and
Jaipur Flyover
Additionally, we follow cost per mile – program evaluation and review technique for allocation of time used for
completion of a project, thereby clearly demarcating the time lines for various activities.
Demonstrated ability to work successfully in partnerships
We have demonstrated our ability to work successfully with various domestic partners, such as Petron Engineering
Construction Limited, MBL Infrastructures Limited, Zanders Engineers Limited and Brahmaputra Infrastructure Limited
on a wide variety of projects in India.
We have established good working relationships with many sub-contractors supporting our various divisions. Such
relationships facilitate an efficient deployment of human resources and extend our execution capabilities.
Large fleet of owned machineries and equipment
In the infrastructure sector timely completion of projects is of utmost importance. Ownership on machinery and
equipment significantly decreases dependence on external sources for equipment supplies. We own a number of plants
and equipment required for construction activities such as tippers, transit mixers, backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel
loaders, concrete pumps, motor graders, pick and carry planes, crawler cranes, hydraulic rotary rigs, rollers, tractors,
water tankers, trailers and milling machines.
Acknowledged reputation
We have received several awards from various industry bodies. These include:
27
‘Fastest Growing Construction Company (mid-size – 1st Rank)’ at the 10
th Construction World Awards in 2012;
Industry Honour for ‘Outstanding Contribution in Specialised Construction (EPC Category) at the 3rd
EPC
World Awards 2012;
‘Fastest Growing Construction Company (Small Category – 2nd
Rank)’ at the 9th
Construction World Annual
Awards 2011;
‘Most Admired Corporate in Infrastructure Development’ at the Infrastructure Excellence Awards 2010.
‘Fastest Growing Construction Company (Small Category – 2nd
Rank)’ at the 8th
Construction World Annual
Awards 2010
Experienced management team and highly qualified staff
As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately 889 permanent employees and approximately 1,235 temporary
employees for our operations. This manpower comprises of an experienced management team and a qualified and skilled
work force. Our employees are qualified in terms of technical expertise and have experience in handling contracts which
enables us to accurately estimate and manage costs for the projects for which we bid. We provide our staff with a high
growth environment and continuous training programmes. Our Managing Director, Mr. Vikram Sharma has been
awarded the ‘Infra Person of the Year’ at the EPC World Awards 2013.
Strategy
Our vision is to be a leading construction and infrastructure enterprise in India, committed to quality, timely completion of
projects, customer satisfaction, continuous learning and enhancement of stakeholders’ value. To achieve this goal, we
have identified 3 primary strategic objectives for our future development:
Enhance our execution capabilities
Quality of product and timely completion of projects are critical to success in the construction industry. As a result, we
aim to:
consistently deliver a quality product meeting all relevant specifications and requirements;
achieve enhanced customer satisfaction through cost effective and timely completion;
increase the size and capabilities of our in house design and engineering teams;
motivate and train our staff for continual improvement of productivity and quality standards; and
update and implement our procedures in line with developments in international standards.
Leverage and strengthen our market position to benefit from growth factors in our current core markets, and to
expand and diversify into new sectors.
We intend to undertake technically complex, turnkey and design-build projects either alone or through joint ventures if
required. Further, we also intend to continue to control operating and overhead costs to maximize our operating margins.
To facilitate efficient and cost-effective decision-making, we intend to continue to strengthen our internal systems. This
enables us to have better operating margins. Efficient use of the raw material and our fleet of construction equipment
ensure that we maintain high operating margins
We believe that we have developed a reputation for undertaking challenging construction projects from both, the
government as well as private companies. We intend to continue focusing on performance and project execution
capabilities in order to maximize client satisfaction.
We have catered to a range of sectors, which has contributed in increasing our technical knowhow, capabilities, and
spectrum of service offerings. This has also enabled us to de-risk our business model and we plan to further diversify our
portfolio by extending our services to newer sectors. Using our design build model and turnkey capabilities, we intend to
concentrate on projects and geographies where we can retain a competitive edge and seek better margins. For instance, we
have in the recent past increased our portfolio of private projects yielding higher margins, as well as expanded into new
segments such as solar power.
28
Develop and maintain strong relationships with our clients and strategic partners
Our services significantly depend on procuring construction contracts undertaken by the government, semi-governmental
authorities and other projects by private companies. Our business is also dependent on developing and maintaining
strategic alliances with other contractors with whom we may want to enter into project-specific joint ventures or
subcontracting relationships for specific purposes. We will continue to develop and maintain these relationships in both
the client and vendor space. We intend to establish relationships and share risks with companies whose resources, skills
and strategies are complementary to our business and are likely to enhance our opportunities.

Summary of reservations or qualifications or adverse remarks in the auditors’ report in the last 5 (five) Financial Years
immediately preceding the year of filing this Preliminary Placement Document and in the auditors’ limited review report
on the Company’s unaudited standalone interim financials as at and for the six months ended September 30, 2014
Financial Year Reservations or Qualifications or Adverse Remarks Management’s response
2010 As stated in note B.5 of schedule 20 to the Financial Statements, a
search was conducted on September 24, 2009 at the premises of the
Company by the Income tax authorities under section 132 of the
Income tax act, 1961. Further, certain records and files containing
invoices were seized and are not available for our inspection.
Subsequent to the search, the Company’s assessments for the financial
years 2003-04 to 2008-09 have been reopened. Pending completion of
these assessments, the impact of the additional tax liability, if any, is
presently not ascertainable.
Post completion of the
assessments , the said
qualification was dropped
in the subsequent audit
report
2010 Clause IX (a) of the Independent Auditors Report
Undisputed statutory dues including provident fund, investor education
and protection fund, employees’ state insurance, income-tax, sales-tax,
wealth tax, service tax, custom duty, excise duty, cess and other
material statutory dues, as applicable, have not been regularly
deposited with the appropriate authorities and there have been
significant delays in a large number of cases. Further, no undisputed
amounts payable in respect thereof, which were outstanding at the
year-end for a period of more than six months from the date they
became payable.
The same have been paid
subsequent to the year
end.
2011 Clause IX (a) of the Independent Auditors Report
Undisputed statutory dues including provident fund, investor
education and protection fund, employees’ state insurance,
income-tax, sales-tax, wealth tax, service tax, custom duty, excise
duty, cess and other material statutory dues, as applicable, have not
been regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities and there
have been significant delays in a large number of cases. Further, no
undisputed amounts payable in respect thereof, which were
outstanding at the year-end for a period of more than six months
from the date they became payable.
The same have been paid
subsequent to the year
end.
2012 Clause IX (a) of the Independent Auditors Report
Undisputed statutory dues including provident fund, investor
education and protection fund, employees’ state insurance,
income-tax, sales-tax, wealth tax, service tax, custom duty, excise
duty, cess and other material statutory dues, as applicable, have not
been regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities and there
have been significant delays in a large number of cases. Further, no
undisputed amounts payable in respect thereof, which were
outstanding at the year-end for a period of more than six months
from the date they became payable.
The same have been paid
subsequent to the year
end.
2014 Clause IV of the Independent Auditors Report
In our opinion there are adequate internal control systems
commensurate with the size of the Company and nature of its business
for the purchase of fixed assets. However, the internal control system
for purchase of inventory and sale of goods and services is inadequate,
since the purchase order in certain cases were prepared after receiving
the invoice and sales are not being updated in the Company’s financial
reporting system on timely basis; however, we have not observed any
continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in internal control
system of the Company.
During the year, we had
started operations at
Kolkata and there were
delays in setting up of the
internal control systems by
the Company and hence
the same was qualified by
the statutory auditors. We
believe we currently have
put in place adequate
internal audit controls to
bring the same in lines
with the internal control
systems of the Company.
2014 Clause IX (a) of the Independent Auditors Report The same have been paid

Undisputed statutory dues including investor education and

The company’s trade receivables and work-in-progress as at 30
September 2014 include amounts aggregating Rs. 8,352 lakhs and Rs.
916 lakhs respectively, in respect of projects which were
closed/terminated by the client and where the matters are currently
under negotiations/litigation; being considered good and recoverable
by the management. However in absence of sufficient appropriate
evidence we are unable to comment upon the recoverability of the
aforesaid amounts, and the consequential impact, if any, on the
statement that may arise on settlement of the aforesaid matters.
1. Trade receivables and
Unbilled
Work-in-Progress as at
30 September 2014
includes ₹ 10.66
millon and ₹ 9.16
million, respectively in
respect of a contract
which client has
terminated and
recovered the advances
through encashment of
bank guarantee. The
Company has
preferred an appeal in
the High Court for
restoration of contract
35
and providing stay on
bank guarantee
invoked by the client.
The Company is also
communicating with
the client and is
hopeful of resolving
this matter amicably.
2. Trade receivables as at
30 September 2014
includes ₹ 72.86
million which are
overdue for a
substantial period of
time. The Company is
in the process of
negotiation with the
customers. Based on
the contract terms and
ongoing negotiations,
the management is
reasonably hopeful of
recovery of these
amounts. Had the
same been considered
in the interim financial
statement of the
Company the profit for
the period would have
been lower by ₹
926.80 million,
Reserves and Surplus

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks and
other uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information contained in this Preliminary Placement
Document, before making any investment decision relating to the Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the following
events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future
prospects and cause the market price of the Equity Shares to fall significantly resulting in loss of all or a part of your
investment and/or our Company’s ability to pay dividends could be impaired. Additional risks not described below or not
currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect the market price of the Equity
Shares and that an investor could consequently lose all or a part of his investment in the Equity Shares. In particular, any
potential investor in or purchaser of the Equity Shares should pay particular attention to the fact that our Company is a
company governed by Indian legal and regulatory requirements which may differ from those which prevail in other
countries. Prospective investors should also note that certain statements in this Preliminary Placement Document,
including information with respect to our Company’s plans and strategy, constitute “forward-looking statements” as
discussed in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”.
Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial or other
implication of any of the risks described in this section. The numbering of the risk factors has been done to facilitate the
ease of reading and reference, and does not in any manner indicate the importance of one risk factor over another.
In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of our Company and the
terms of the Issue, including the merits and risks involved.
Risks Relating to our Company and our Business
1. There are outstanding litigation proceedings against our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters and Directors, an
adverse outcome in which could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
Our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters and Directors are involved in certain legal proceedings. A summary of all
material litigation and disputes against our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters and Directors involving potential
financial implication on the net worth of our Company, is in the following tables:

Total 2 433.21
Please see the section “Legal Proceedings” on page 168 of this Preliminary Placement Document for further details
of the aforementioned legal proceedings.
These legal proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. The
amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable and include amounts claimed
jointly and severally from us and other parties. Such proceedings could divert management time and attention, and
consume financial resources in their defence or prosecution. Should any new developments arise, such as any change
in applicable Indian law or any rulings against us by appellate courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in
our financial statements that could increase expenses and liabilities. An adverse outcome in any such proceedings
may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
2. We have incurred substantial indebtedness which exposes us to various risks which may have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2014 , our total secured and unsecured indebtedness (including current portion of long term
borrowings) was ₹ 30,902.63 million. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future. The level of
our indebtedness could have several important consequences, including but not limited to the following:
a substantial portion of our cash flow will be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will reduce the
availability of cash flow to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general
corporate requirements;
current and future defaults of payment and other obligations under our financing arrangements may result in an
event of default, acceleration of our repayment obligations and enforcement of related security interests over our
rigs, receivables and other assets;
a substantial portion of our indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest. Fluctuations in market interest
rates may require us to pay higher rates of interest and will also affect the cost of our borrowings;
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future or renegotiate or refinance our existing indebtedness on
terms favorable to us may be limited; and
we may be limited in our ability to expand our business and therefore, we may be limited in our capability to
withstand competitive pressures.
For further details regarding our indebtedness, please see section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation-Indebtedness” on page 79 of this Preliminary Placement Document.
3. We have experienced certain adverse developments including having to enter into debt restructuring scheme
owing to defaults by our Company of various loans. Such events may result in loss of our Company’s reputation
and adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows, and may also result in additional equity
capital funding from our Promoters thereby diluting your equity stake in our Company.
38
Delays in collection of receivables coupled with delays in the commissioning of certain projects being executed by us
have put considerable financial pressure on the Company and, in particular, on our cash flows. Consequently, there
have been irregularities in the repayment of banking facilities such as delay in principal / interest payment on the
outstanding term loans and working capital loans. The majority of the lenders of our Company formed a Joint
Lenders’ Forum (“JLF”) and are under the process of entering into a Master Joint Lenders Forum Agreement
amongst themselves. The objective of the JLF is to restructure our Company’s debt under RBI’s framework for
revitalizing distressed assets notified by RBI vide its circular RBI/2013-14/503 dated February 26, 2014. The JLF
has, agreed for a restructuring approach through JLF route for the Company with cut-off date as October 1, 2014. The
impact of the restructuring scheme is difficult to predict and there can be no assurance that we will be able to turn
around our financial performance. Further, the restructuring scheme may also result in additional equity capital
funding from our Promoters and, consequently, your equity stake in our Company may be diluted to such extent. For
further details, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
— Debt Restructuring Scheme” on page 85 of this Preliminary Placement Document.
4. Given the long-term nature of many of our projects, we face various implementation risks and our inability to
successfully manage such risks may have an adverse impact on the functioning of our business.
Some of the projects that we undertake are by their nature long term and, consequently expose us to a variety of
implementation risks, including construction delays, delay or disruption in supply of raw materials, delays in
acquisition of land, unanticipated cost increases, cost overruns and disputes with our joint venture partners. While we
believe that we have successfully managed the implementation risks we have faced in the past, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to continue to effectively manage any future implementation risks, which may or may
not be of a nature familiar to us. Our future results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to
effectively manage the implementation risks we face.
5. Increased cost of raw materials and their non availability on time may affect our operations.
Our business is significantly affected by the availability, supply, cost and quality of raw materials which exposes us to
market demand and supply fluctuations. The price and the supply of the raw materials depend on factors beyond our
control, which include economic conditions, consumer demand, production levels, transportation costs and import
duties. The price of cement and steel, our primary raw materials are subject to significant volatility. Such variations in
the cost structure affect our operations. Moreover, we contract to provide services mostly on the basis of a fixed price
per unit of work or a lump sum price for the projects we undertake and with the increase in the cost of our raw
materials, our profitability may be adversely affected.
6. Delays in the completion of construction of current and future projects could lead to termination of the
concession agreements or cost overruns, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Our projects are subject to specific completion schedules and we provide the concessioning authorities with
securities or bank guarantees which are valid for varied periods as stipulated in the concession agreements. Our
BOT projects are required to achieve commercial operation no later than the scheduled commercial operation dates
specified under the relevant concession agreements, or by the end of the extension period, if any is granted by the
concessioning authority. Subject to certain customary exceptions such as (i) occurrence and continuance of force
majeure events that are not within the control of our project companies, or (ii) delays that are caused due to reasons
solely attributable to the concessioning authority, failure to adhere to contractually agreed timelines or extended
timelines could require us to pay liquidated damages as stipulated in the concession agreement or lead to
encashment and appropriation of the bank guarantee or performance security. The concessioning authority may also
be entitled to terminate the concession agreement in the event of delay in completion of the work if the delay is not
on account of any of the agreed exceptions. With respect to some of our projects, in the event of termination for any
of the aforesaid reasons, we may only receive partial payments under such agreements and such payments may be
less than our estimated revenues from such projects. Further, we may not be able to obtain extensions for projects
on which we face delays or time overruns.
In addition to the risk of termination by the concessioning authority, delays in completion of development may
result in cost overruns, lower or no returns on capital and reduced revenue for the project companies thus affecting
the project’s performance, as well as failure to meet scheduled debt service payment dates and increased interest
costs from our financing agreements for the projects. Such delays could have adverse effects on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
39
Further, for our projects in the development stage, the concession agreements require us to complete the financing
for the project within the period specified in the relevant concession agreement. In the event of delay in completing
the financing for the project, the concessionaire is typically entitled to a limited extension subject to payment of
damages to the concessioning authority calculated at a specified rate of the performance security for each day of
delay.
Timely completion of construction of our projects is subject to various execution risks as well as other matters,
including receipt of relevant approvals for such projects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the
financing for the project to the satisfaction of the concessioning authority as provided in the concession agreements
or complete our current and future projects within specified schedules or at all, which may have an adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
7. On fixed-price, lump-sum or turn-key contracts, the Company is exposed to increases in the cost of construction
materials, fuel, and equipment other than for specified force majeure events which cannot be passed on. This may
affect our margins and in turn our operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We contract to provide services mostly on the basis of a fixed price per unit of work or a lump sum price for the
project as a whole and rarely on a cost-plus-fee basis. Under the terms and conditions of such fixed-price or
lump-sum contracts, we generally agree to a fixed price for providing engineering, procurement and construction
services for the part of the project contracted to us. In the case of turnkey contracts, we generally agree to deliver
completed facilities which are in a ready-to-operate condition. Increases in the costs of materials and labour as well
as changes in applicable taxation structures or change in the scope of work resulting in an increase in the expenditure
are sometimes covered by suitable escalation clauses under such contracts. However, in contracts that lack such
provisions or in which the escalation clauses are only limited, we bear all or a portion of the risks of such increases,
a factor which we take into account when determining our contract prices. Contract prices are based on a number of
assumptions underlying our bids for such contracts. If any of these estimates prove to be inaccurate, or
circumstances change, cost overruns could occur and we would experience reduced profits or, in some cases, losses.
Variations in the costs from those estimated by us could be caused by various factors, including:
changes in economic conditions;
increases in the price and availability of labour, equipment and materials;
unanticipated changes in engineering design of the project;
inaccuracies of drawings and technical information provided by clients on which bids were based;
unforeseen design and engineering construction conditions, site and geological conditions, which may result in
delays;
inability of the clients to obtain requisite environmental and other approvals;
delays in the delivery of equipment and materials to the project site;
unanticipated increases in equipment costs;
changes in applicable taxation structure;
delays caused by local and seasonal weather conditions; and
suppliers’ and/or subcontractors’ failure to perform
Under item rate contracts, we quote rates for individual items of work based on a schedule of quantities or bill of
quantity (“BOQ”), which is furnished by our customers. The BOQ is an estimate of the quantity of activities
involved and these quantities may be varied by the parties during the course of the project.
Although the additional costs associated with the variation in quantities may not pass to us, we would still bear risks
associated with any increase in actual costs for construction activities exceeding the agreed rate, unless such item
rate contracts contain price escalation clauses which adequately address our increased rates.
These factors could adversely affect our profitability on the affected contracts, and may result in reduced
profitability or losses on our project. Depending on the size of such projects, the resulting deviation from estimated
contract performance could have a significant effect on our results of operations.
8. Some of the projects that our company enters into are high value projects and provide for levy of penalties in case
of delay in completion or the desired performance criteria is not met. Due to delay in the completion of current and
future projects we may also be subject to cost overruns, lower returns on capital and reduced revenue which could
have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
The contracts awarded by the Central and State Government agencies include terms and conditions relating to the
40
timely execution of the project and performance criteria. Penalties are levied by these agencies in case there are
delays in completion of the project due to the fault of the party executing the contract. In case there is any delay in the
completion of such project for which our Company is accountable, levy of penalties may adversely affect the
financial and operational performance of the Company. In case we are not able to meet expected performance criteria,
receipt of further contracts by our Company from such authority may be jeopardized.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete our current and future projects within specified schedules
or at all. Timely completion of these projects is subject to various execution risks as well as other matters, including
securing financing and the relevant approvals for such projects. For infrastructure projects under development or in
the award stage, the agreements or the letters of award also require that the project companies achieve financial
closure by a date specified in the relevant concession agreement. We may have to apply for extensions of project
completion dates in certain of our contracts. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to pay penalties in
relation to these extensions.
Delays may result in cost overruns, lower returns on capital and reduced revenue for the project companies, as well as
failure to meet scheduled debt service payment dates and increased interest burdens from our financing arrangements
for the projects. Our clients, pursuant to the terms of the agreements, may impose penalties in respect of delays and
deduct these amounts from the contractual price payable to us. Our project lenders may also impose additional
restrictive covenants or other less favourable terms where existing financing arrangements have to be rescheduled or
restructured due to delays. Moreover, any loss of goodwill could also adversely affect our ability to pre-qualify for
future projects.
9. Our Company substantially depends on its revenues from government contracts. If there is any change in the
government, or budgetary allocations by governments, or downturn of available work in a particular sector as a
result of shifts in government policies or priorities or exhaustion of government’s development budgets, or if
contracts awarded by the government are terminated, our financial results and business prospects may be
adversely affected.
Demand for our construction services is principally dependent on sustained economic development in the regions in
which we operate. In addition, demand for our infrastructure services is largely dependent on government policies
relating to infrastructure development and budgetary allocations made by governments for such development, as well
as funding provided by international and multilateral development financial institutions for infrastructure projects.
Investment by the private sector in infrastructure projects is dependent on the potential returns from such projects and
is therefore linked to government policies relating to private sector participation and the sharing of risks and returns
from such projects. A reduction of capital investment in the building or infrastructure sectors for any reason could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in the Central Government and/or State Governments, scaling back of government policies, initiatives or
budgetary allocation, or the insufficiency of funds on the part of governmental entities could result in delays to our
projects with such entities. Government projects may also be subject to political or financial pressures that may lead
to such agreements being restructured or renegotiated by these entities, which could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
In addition, some of our government contracts contain unilateral termination provisions in favour of the
governmental entity. Such provisions generally state that the governmental entity has the right to terminate the
contract for convenience, without any reason, at any time after providing us with reasonable notice and
compensation. In the event that one or more of our material contracts are terminated, our business and results of
operations may be adversely affected, in particular if the compensation from the government is inadequate. In
addition, documentary closure or completion of government contracts, including the release of performance
guarantees, retention money and final acceptance notices, generally takes significant amounts of time and is subject
to delays, which also adversely affects our financial condition and results of operations.
10. Our revenues largely depend on acceptance of the bids submitted to the Government and other agencies. We may
not be selected for any of the projects for which we have submitted a bid and we may end up incurring significant
costs in preparation and submission of such bid. Our performance could be affected in case majority of the bids
are not accepted/ awarded.
Our business is substantially dependent on infrastructure projects undertaken by governmental authorities and other
entities funded by governments and multilateral development finance institutions. Contracts awarded by central, state
and local governmental authorities are awarded following competitive bidding process and satisfaction of other
prescribed pre-qualification criteria. Once the prospective bidders satisfy the pre-qualification requirements of the
41
tender, the project is usually awarded based on the price of the contract quoted by the prospective bidder. We
generally incur significant costs in the preparation and submission of bids, which are one-time costs. We compete
with various infrastructure companies while submitting the tender to government and other agencies. In case we do
not qualify or are not amongst the lowest bidders, we stand to lose the business which will adversely effect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure that any of the bids we submit would be
accepted/awarded to us; therefore our ability to procure the business by bidding at the lowest rates is crucial for our
revenues.
11. Our ability to negotiate the standard form of contracts for our projects may be limited and certain unusual or
onerous provisions may be imposed on us.
Our project agreements are typically with government entities and we have limited ability to negotiate the terms of
these contracts. The concession agreements with the NHAI are based on a model concession agreement prescribed
by the NHAI, which provides for a fixed term concession with no provisions for renewal of the concession
agreement after the expiry of the term. Further, the model concession agreement imposes certain onerous
provisions on the concessionaire in relation to minimum shareholding requirement, construction of competing roads
by the government and/or the concessioning authority, compliance with operation and maintenance requirements
and substitution of the concessionaire by the NHAI and the senior lenders in the event of default under the project
documents and financing documents, which may limit our flexibility in doing our business.
The form of the concession agreement has only evolved in the last decade and there is limited guidance available
on the interpretation of a number of terms and conditions of such concession agreements. In addition, certain terms
of the concession agreements are untested and accordingly, their interpretation by the NHAI or the relevant
concessioning authority may be different from ours. In the event that the interpretation of such concession
agreements is unfavourable to us, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. If we are unable
to comply with the unusual or onerous provisions which we have agreed to, our business, results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected.
12. Delays in the acquisition of private land or eviction of encroachments from Government owned land by the
Government may adversely affect the timely performance of our contracts leading to disputes with the
Government.
Projects undertaken as part of our business are dependent on procurement of unencumbered contiguous land.
Failure to acquire unencumbered contiguous land by the Central or State Governments or other concerned agencies
under the concession agreements could result in changes, delays or abandoning of the projects, which in turn could
adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Pursuant to the terms of our concession agreements, government entities are required to acquire or license or secure
rights of way over, tracts of land or to hand over unencumbered land, free of encroachments to us. Delays in any of
the foregoing may result in delay of project implementation prescribed by the relevant concession agreement and
cause consequent delays in commencement of construction or termination of the concession agreement on account
of a material default by the concessioning authority. Such events may also lead to disputes and cross-claims for
liquidated damages between us and the relevant government entity. Additionally, a failure to acquire land may lead
to a change of scope of the project or payment delays or disputes with the government entity. We will continue to
face risks associated with implementation which could be due to reasons including those beyond our control which
can include, among others, non availability of environmental clearances, delay in acquisition of land by the
government, or other delays from the concessioning authority.
Any delays or inability to complete such land acquisitions or other obligations by the government may also result in
increases in the price of construction materials from our original estimates, which we may not be able to pass on to
the users of toll roads. Further, we may be exposed to legal proceedings or claims by landowners objecting to the
acquisition of their lands for our projects. Such factors could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
13. Our Promoters and Promoter Group have pledged Equity Shares of our Company with certain lenders. If the
lenders exercise their rights and dilute the shareholding of our Promoter and Promoter Group, it may adversely
affect our business.
Our Promoters and Promoter Group have pledged Equity Shares equivalent to 45.27% of the Equity Share capital of
our Company as on January 2, 2015. If the pledges are enforced, the shareholding of our Promoters and Promoter
Group in our Company may be diluted and we may face certain impediments in taking decisions on certain key,
42
strategic matters, will entitle the lenders to attend general meetings of our Company, and exercise voting rights in
respect of the pledged equity shares which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
14. The Auditors’ limited review report in respect of our Unaudited Reviewed Standalone Interim Financial
Statements as at and for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and the audit reports for the last five financial
years contains certain qualifications.
The limited review report for the six months ended September 30, 2014 on our Company’s unaudited standalone
interim financials contains a qualification. The Auditors have qualified the limited review report as the Company’s
trade receivables and work-in-progress as at September 30, 2014 include amounts aggregating ₹ 835.2 million and ₹ 91.6 million, respectively in respect of projects which were closed or terminated by the client of the Company and
where the matters are currently under negotiations or litigation and which the management of the Company has
considered good and recoverable. However, the Auditors have expressed inability in expressing an opinion upon the
recoverability of the aforesaid amounts, and the consequential impact, if any, on the unaudited standalone interim
financials that may arise on settlement of the aforesaid matters in the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence. For
further details of the aforesaid litigation, please see “Legal Proceedings – Litigations filed by the Company” on page
168 of this Preliminary Placement Document.
Further, the audit reports of the past five financial years contains certain qualifications. For instance, the respective
audit reports issued by our Auditors on the audited standalone financial statements of the Company included a
statement on certain matters specified in the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, which were qualified for
matters indicated as follows: (i) As of and for the year ended March 31, 2014 (a) Significant delays in large number of
cases in payment undisputed statutory dues, (b) Statutory dues outstanding for more than six month and (c)
Inadequate internal control system for purchase of inventory and sale of goods and services, (ii) As of and for the
years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (a) Significant delays in large number of cases in payment undisputed statutory
dues, and (iii) As of and for the year ended March 31, 2010 (a) Significant delays in large number of cases in payment
undisputed statutory dues and (b) Reopening of tax assesments and impact of tax liability due to such tax assesments
not ascertainable. For further details, please see “Summary of reservations or qualifications or adverse remarks in the
auditors’ report in the last 5 (five) Financial Years immediately preceding the year of filing this Preliminary
Placement Document and in the auditors’ limited review report on the Company’s unaudited standalone interim
financials as at and for the six months ended September 30, 2014” on page 33 of this Preliminary Placement
Document.
As a consequence of such qualifications our financial numbers may not reflect a true and accurate representation of
our financial condition. Further, our share price may be negatively affected due to such qualifications.There can be no
assurance that our auditors will not qualify their opinion in the future.
15. Projects included in our Order Book may be delayed, cancelled or not fully paid for by our clients, which could
materially harm our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.
Our order book does not necessarily indicate future earnings related to the performance of that work. Order Book
projects represent business that is considered firm, but cancellations or scope or schedule adjustments have occurred
in the past and may occur. Further, our Order Book includes projects in respect of which the Company is L1 (lowest
bidder), but where the final work order is yet to be received and there is a possibility that we may not finally get the
final work order due to various factors. The L1 bids amount to ₹ 7,828 million which is 14.86% of our Order Book as
on September 30, 2014. We may also encounter problems executing the project as ordered, or executing it on a timely
basis. Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our clients may postpone a project or cause its
cancellation, including delays or failures to obtain necessary permits, authorizations, permissions, right-of-way, and
other types of difficulties or obstructions. Due to the possibility of cancellations or changes in project scope and
schedule, as a result of exercise of our clients’ discretion, problems we encounter in project execution, or reasons
outside our control or the control of our clients, we cannot predict with certainty when, if or to what extent an Order
Book project will be performed. Delays in the completion of a project can lead to clients delaying or refusing to make
payment to us of some or all of the amounts we expect to be paid in respect of the project. Even relatively short delays
or surmountable difficulties in the execution of a project could result in our failure to receive, on a timely basis or at
all, the final payments due to us on a project.
These payments often represent an important portion of the margin we expect to earn on the project. In addition, even
where a project proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the contracting parties may default or otherwise fail to pay
amounts owed. Any delay, reduction in scope, cancellation, execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment
43
default in regard to order book projects or any other uncompleted projects, or disputes with clients in respect of any of
the foregoing, could materially harm our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.
16. Our inability to collect receivables from concessioning authorities on time or at all may adversely affect our cash
flows, business, results of operations and financial condition.
There may be delays associated with the collection of receivables from concessioning authorities and other third
parties, including government owned, controlled or funded entities and related parties. As of March 31, 2014, on a
consolidated basis ₹ 9,250.68 million of our total trade receivables were outstanding for a period exceeding six
months from the date of due payment. We cannot assure you that we will be able to collect our receivables in time
or at all which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
17. Rapid technological change could increase competition and require us to make substantial additional investments
in the business and we may not procure such funding at favourable terms resulting in limiting our ability to
compete effectively and decrease in demand for our products and services which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
We operate in an industry in which significant technological change developed or obtained by a competitor could
negatively impact the demand for our products and services. We must anticipate and adapt to such technological
change and develop and introduce, on a timely basis, competitively priced products and services that meet changing
industry standards and customer preferences. As new technologies are developed, we may be required to implement
these new technologies at a substantial cost in order to remain competitive. We may not have, and may not be able to
secure, adequate resources or funding to develop such technologies or may fail to direct our product development in
the right technologies, which may lead us to incur significant costs. Such equipment may be subject to breakdowns
and defects, which may result in interruption of the manufacturing process. In addition, our competitors may have
greater resources available to develop new technologies and may implement them before us, which may allow them
to provide lower-priced or better-quality products and services. If we do not keep pace with rapid technological
advances, we could lose market share and it could limit our ability to compete effectively and, as a result, decrease
demand for our products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
18. Any material decrease between the actual traffic volume and our forecasted traffic volume for a toll based
project could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our BOT portfolio consists of 11 toll based road concessions in India. For toll based projects, our revenue is
derived from toll receipts, which are dependent on traffic volumes and traffic mix on the toll roads. Traffic volumes
are directly or indirectly affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including toll fees,
volume of vehicles, affordability of automobiles, convenience and extent of a toll road’s connections with other
parts of the local and national highway networks, availability and cost of alternative means of transportation,
including rail networks and air transport, level of commercial, industrial and residential development in areas
served by our projects, adverse weather conditions and seasonal holidays.
When preparing the tender for a toll based project, particularly to determine the bid undertaking for such toll based
project or contract, we forecast the traffic volume for the road in order to arrive at our expected revenue over the
concession period. If the actual traffic volume is significantly less than the forecasted traffic volume, the revenue
generated from the toll based project may be lower than the anticipated revenue. We forecast the traffic volume for
toll based projects based on the data provided by external agencies engaged by our Company such as traffic
consultants and in-house team of professionals. The forecasting of traffic volumes is based on various assumptions,
and we cannot assure you that such forecasts will be accurate. While most of our toll-based concession agreements
provide for an extension in concession period if the actual traffic volumes are significantly lower than the target
traffic projected for the project, we cannot assure you that the concession period will be actually extended.
Generally, the concessioning authority that has granted the relevant BOT concession to us unilaterally determines
the terms on which we may collect toll revenues (subject to annual adjustments to account for inflation as specified
in the concession agreements), and we are not permitted to increase such toll rates. As a result, if our operation and
maintenance expenses increase, we may not be in a position to increase our revenues in the same proportion, which
may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
19. Political and other agitations against the collection of toll at road infrastructure projects may affect our ability to
collect toll over prolonged periods, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and
financial condition.
44
Over the past few years, there have been agitations by political parties and local community members against the
collection of toll at road infrastructure projects across Maharashtra. These agitations have often turned violent and
resulted in the destruction of toll collection booths and other related property. Such events may limit our ability to
collect toll over a prolonged period and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operation. There can be no assurance that there will not be any such agitations in the future.
20. Leakage of the tolls collected on our BOT toll roads may adversely affect our revenues and earnings.
Our toll receipts are primarily dependent on the integrity of toll collection systems. The level of revenues derived
from collection of tolls may be reduced by leakage through toll evasion, theft, fraud or technical defaults in our toll
systems. If toll collection is not properly monitored, leakage may reduce our toll revenue. Further, toll collection
errors may amount to a loss of revenue as there is an inherent risk of under-collection of toll fees given that most
motorists pay in cash. Any significant failure by us to control leakage in toll collection systems could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
21. The loss of or shutdown of operations at our Company's quarries will have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company has 7 quarries and several crusher plants, ready mix concrete plants and asphalt plants. We have
undertaken backward integration to manufacture ready mix concrete, asphalt and wet mix mecadam which is used for
our construction activity. Our quarries are subject to operating risks, such as the breakdown or failure of equipment,
or processes, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, obsolescence, natural disasters, industrial
accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities. The occurrence of any of
these risks could significantly affect its operating results.
Although we have taken precautions to minimize the risk of any significant operational problems at its quarries, the
business, financial condition and results of operations of our Company may be adversely affected by any disruption at
these quarries, including due to any of the factors mentioned above.
22. Contracts in the infrastructure sector are awarded on the basis of pre-qualification criteria and competitive
bidding processes. We face intense competition from domestic infrastructure companies. Once the technical
requirements of the tender are cleared, the contract is usually awarded on the basis of the competitive price quoted
by the bidder.
In selecting contractors for the project, clients generally limit the tender to contractors they have pre-qualified, based
on several criterion including experience, technical capacity and performance, quality standards, ability to execute
the project within the present timeframe and sophisticated machines. Disqualification on any of these grounds will
make us ineligible for bidding. These pre-qualification criteria are at the discretion of the client and we cannot assure
that we would continue to meet the pre-qualification criterion of our existing clients or prospective client’s. This
would have an adverse impact on us procuring new projects and subsequently the financial performance of our
Company.
23. Any accident at our facilities could lead to property damage, production loss and accident claims.
Any accident at our manufacturing facilities could result in damages. We could suffer a decline in production, receive
adverse publicity and could be forced to invest resources in addressing such damages, both in terms of time and
money. We maintain insurance coverage, including business interruption insurance with respect to each of our
facilities, which we believe is customary for the infrastructure industries in India and jurisdictions in which we
operate. Our insurance, however, may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances and is subject to
certain deductibles, exclusions and limits on coverage. There can be no assurance that there will not be any work
related or other accidents in the future.
24. We depend on sub-contractors for the timely and successful completion of some of our projects and failure on the
part of our sub-contractors to perform their obligations in a timely manner or at all could adversely affect our
ability to complete projects in a timely manner at commercially viable terms or at all. This in turn could subject us
to time and cost overruns, defaults under the contracts for such projects and loss of revenue and profitability.
We are sub-contractors on some of our projects and we sub-contract work on some of our projects. When we are a
sub-contractor, payment on such projects depends upon the performance of the principal contractor and/or other
project sub-contractors and when we sub-contract, payments from our clients depend on our sub-contractors’
45
performance. A completion delay on the part of a principal or subcontractors, for any reason, could result in delayed
payment to us. The execution risks we face in subcontracted projects include:
our principal or sub-contractors may not be able to complete the project construction on time, within budget or to
the specifications and standards that have been set in the contracts;
our principal or sub-contractors may not be able to obtain adequate working capital or other financing on
favourable terms as and when required to complete construction;
where we sub-contract, we may not be able to pass on certain risks to sub-contractors such as unforeseen site and
geological conditions which may make the site unsuitable for the project;
as we expand geographically, we may have to use sub-contractors with whom we are not familiar, which could
increase the risk of cost overruns, construction defects and failures to meet scheduled completion dates; and
where we sub-contract work, we remain responsible for the sub-contracted work which means clients still have
recourse to us in respect of actions, omissions and defects by our sub-contractors.
25. We operate in an industry that is capital intensive in nature and we may not be able to raise the required capital on
favourable terms, or at all, for future projects which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
The nature of business of our Company is working capital intensive. In many cases, significant amounts of working
capital are required to finance the purchase of materials, the hiring of equipment and the performance of engineering,
construction and other work on projects before payments are received from clients. In certain cases, we are
contractually obligated to our clients to fund the working capital requirements of our projects. Our working capital
requirements may increase if, under certain contracts, payment terms do not include advance payments or such
contracts have payment schedules that shift payments toward the end of a project or otherwise increase our working
capital burdens. In addition, our working capital requirements have increased in recent years because we have
undertaken a growing number of projects within a similar timeframe and due to the growth of our Company’s
business generally. All of these factors may result, or have resulted, in increases in our working capital needs.
The outstanding cash credit facilities (working capital) on a consolidated basis for the years ended March 31, 2014,
March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was ₹ 8,429.53 million, ₹ 7,214.34 million and ₹ 5,040.00 million respectively.
Any increase in the cost of borrowing may make the Company's operations less competitive and also affect the
Company's profitability negatively.
It is customary in the industry in which we operate to provide bank guarantees or performance bonds in favour of
clients to secure obligations under contracts. These may extend, wholly or partly, for a period of 12 – 60 months even
after the date of completion of a project. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the letters of credit,
bank guarantees or performance bonds, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be
limited. Providing security to obtain letters of credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working
capital needs. We may not be able to continue obtaining new letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance
bonds in sufficient quantities on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, to match our business requirements.
26. We have entered into debt agreements which contain restrictive covenants, placing significant limitations on us,
which could restrict our ability to conduct our business and grow our operations and increases in interest rates
may impact our results of operations.
Some debt agreements entered into by us contain restrictive covenants, which, among other things, restrict our
ability to raise additional equity, dilute the shareholding of our promoters and promoter group below 51% of the paid
up and voting share capital of the Company, incur additional debt, pay dividends, make investments, engage in
transactions with affiliates, create liens, mortgage, charge or create any security on the assets, sell assets or acquire
facilities or other businesses and change capital structure, amongst other things. Any default of such restrictions will
entitle the respective lenders to call a default against us, enforce remedies under the terms of the financing
documents, that could include, among other things, acceleration of repayment of the amounts outstanding under the
financing documents, enforcement of the security interest created under the financing documents, taking possession
of the secured assets or, at their option, terminate the relevant loan agreements.
A default by us under the terms of any financing document may also trigger a cross-default under our other financing
documents, or our other agreements or instruments containing cross-default provisions, which may individually or in
the aggregate, have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and credit rating.
There have been irregularities in the repayment of banking facilities such as delay in principal / interest payment on
the outstanding term loans and working capital loans. We have been referred to a Joint Lenders Forum for

restructuring of debts. For further details, see “— We have experienced certain adverse developments including
having to enter into debt restructuring scheme owing to defaults by our Company of various loans. Such events may
result in loss of our Company’s reputation and adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows,
and may also result in additional equity capital funding from our Promoters thereby diluting your equity stake in our
Company” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Debt
Restructuring Scheme” on page 37 and 85 of this Preliminary Placement Document, respectively.
If the lenders of a material amount of the outstanding loans declare an event of default simultaneously, we may be
unable to pay our debts as they fall due. For details of our total outstanding loans, see ““Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Indebtedness” on page 79 of this Preliminary
Placement Document.
27. We are in breach of certain financial and other covenants under our financing arrangements which could result
in acceleration of payment obligations or enforcement of the underlying security, thereby adversely affecting our
business and results of operations.
We are presently in breach of certain financial covenants under some of our financing agreements. The breach of such
covenants entitles the respective lenders to enforce remedies under the terms of the respective financing agreements.
Further, such breaches and relevant actions by the respective lenders could also trigger enforcement action by other
lenders pursuant to cross-default provisions under certain of our financing agreements. Any failure to service our
indebtedness, maintain the required security interests, comply with covenants or comply with a requirement to obtain
a consent or otherwise perform our obligations under our financing agreements could lead to a termination of one or
more of our credit facilities, trigger cross default provisions, penalties and acceleration of amounts due under such
facilities and cause lenders to force a sale of our assets, a substantial majority of which secure our outstanding loans,
which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further,
where our property is secured through a mortgage, in the event of default, our property may be subject to foreclosure
proceedings.
28. Our financing agreements entail interest at variable rates and any increases in interest rates may adversely affect
our results of operation and financial condition.
We are susceptible to changes in interest rates and the risks arising therefrom. Our financing agreements entail
interest at variable rates with a provision for the periodic reset of interest rates. Currently, a majority of our
borrowings are at floating rates of interest. Further, under our financing agreements the lenders are entitled to change
the applicable rate of interest depending upon the policies of the Reserve Bank of India and in the event of an adverse
change in our Company’s credit risk rating. Further, in recent years, the Government of India has taken measures to
control inflation, which have included tightening the monetary policy by raising interest rates. Although we have
certain interest rate hedging transactions in the past, any increase in interest rates may have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.
29. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future. It is likely that
we will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future and such transactions, individually or in the
aggregate, may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We have, in the course of our business, entered into transactions with related parties. While we believe that all such
transactions have been/ would be conducted on an arm’s length basis, there can be no assurance that we could not
have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions not been entered into with these related parties. Such
related party transactions may give rise to potential conflicts of interest with respect to dealings between us and the
related parties. Furthermore, it is likely that we will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future and
such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations. For further details of related party transactions entered into by us, see “Financial
Statements” on page 174 of this Preliminary Placement Document and the annual reports available on the website of
the Company.
30. Our Company has provided corporate guarantees to the lenders of some of our Subsidiaries to secure the loans
availed by such Subsidiaries which if invoked, may adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations and
financial conditions.
Our Company has provided corporate guarantees and undertakings to the lenders of some of our Subsidiaries to
secure the loans availed by such Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2014 we have provided corporate guartanees
amounting to ₹ 600 million to our Subsidiaries. In the event that our Subsidiaries are not in a position to service its
47
payment obligations under its loan facilities, we may be called upon by the lenders to fulfill such payment
obligations as a guarantor. Any such instance may have adverse impacts on the financial condition, cash flows,
business and results of operations and prospects of our Company.
31. We have a number of contingent liabilities (amounting to 8.12% of our consolidated net worth as on March 31,
2014) and our profitability could be adversely affected if any of these contingent liabilities materialize.
Majority of our projects are covered by guarantees, which may include advance payment guarantees, bid guarantees
or bank guarantees. Assets of the Company have been secured under such financing arrangements and any default on
behalf of the Company may compel the financing institutions to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets charged
thereunder. The outstanding corporate guarantees covering our projects as of March 31, 2014, were ₹ 600 million,
which constituted 8.12% of our consolidated net worth as on March 31, 2014.
If any of these contingent liabilities materialise, our profitability may be adversely affected. For a more detailed
description of our contingent liabilities, see “Financial Statements” on page 174 of this Preliminary Placement
Document.
32. We have outstanding defaults in relation to certain undisputed statutory dues payable to various authorities as of
December 31, 2014 which will adversely effect our cash flows and financial condition.
We have defaulted in regularly depositing certain undisputed statutory dues including investor education and
protection fund, sales-tax, wealth tax, service tax, custom duty, excise duty, cess and other material statutory dues, as
applicable, with the appropriate authorities and there have also been significant delays in a large number of cases.
Undisputed amounts payable in respect of income-tax, provident fund, employees’ state insurance and profession tax
which were outstanding as of December 31, 2014 for a period of more than six months from the date they became
payable are as follows:
Sr.
No.
Nature of the dues Amount ( ₹ in million)
1. Tax Deduction at Source 33.90
2. Service Tax 8.50
3. Provident Fund 16.98
4. Professional Tax 2.57
5. Employees State Insurance Corporation 3.19
Further, there have been defaults by our Subsidiaries in payments of statutory dues. We cannot assure you that our
financial condition will not be adversely effected on payment of such outstanding dues or that there will be no
defaults in payment of statutory dues in the future.
33. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters may affect the speed of our execution and could cause
significant interruptions in operations which may lead to delay in completion of projects undertaken by us within
the stipulated time leading to cost escalation or termination of the project, which in turn could adversely affect
our results of operations.
Extended periods of adverse weather conditions or periods of heavy or sustained rainfall or any such extreme
weather condition could result in delays or disruptions to our operations during critical periods and consequently
result in reduced sales and profits. The procurement and construction works carried out in respect of our projects also
involve a number of hazards including earthquakes, flooding, and landslides. Natural disasters may cause significant
interruption to our operations, disruption to our properties and damage to the environment that could have an adverse
impact on us.
We cannot assure you that the operation of our infrastructure assets will not be affected by any of the incidents and
hazards listed above, or that the terms of our insurance policies will be adequate to cover any damage caused by
any such incidents and hazards.
34. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against all material hazards.
Our insurance coverage primarily includes all risk insurance policies, fire insurance, personal accident coverage
insurance, money insurance, workmen’s compensation policies, plant and machinery insurance as well as transit
insurance. Under most of our concession agreements, we are required to obtain insurance for the project undertaken
by us. While we believe that the insurance coverage which we maintain would be reasonably adequate to cover the
48
normal risks associated with the operation of our business and we are in compliance with the requirements of the
concession agreements, we cannot assure you that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be
honoured fully, in part or on time, or that we have taken out sufficient insurance to cover all material losses. Further,
we may not have obtained insurance cover for some of our projects that do not require us to maintain insurance.
To the extent that we suffer loss or damage for which we did not obtain or maintain insurance, and which is not
covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of
operations, cash flows and financial performance could be adversely affected. For further details on insurance
arrangements, see section titled “Our Business– Insurance” on page 109 of this Preliminary Placement Document.
35. We may encounter problems relating to the operations of our joint ventures, which could impose additional
financial and performance obligations resulting in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses from the
joint venture and may cause financial liability and may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
As a consequence of pre-qualification and client requirements, and to mitigate risks associated with projects, we
enter into various joint ventures with domestic construction companies as part of our business. We anticipate that our
future projects will continue to be developed and maintained through joint ventures as we continue to jointly bid for
contracts with suitable joint venture partners. The success of these joint ventures depends significantly on the
satisfactory performance by our joint venture partners and fulfilment of their obligations. Our liability in relation to
the projects being executed by our joint ventures is typically joint and several. If our joint venture partners fail to
perform these obligations satisfactorily, the joint venture may be unable to perform adequately or deliver its
contracted services. In such cases, we may be required to make additional investments or provide additional services
to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the contracted services as bid documents typically provide that
we are jointly and severally liable to clients as a member of such joint ventures in our projects. These additional
obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us. The inability of a joint venture
partner to continue with a project due to financial or legal difficulties could mean that we would bear increased and
possibly sole responsibility for the completion of the project and bear a correspondingly greater share of the financial
risk of the project. In some cases, we may not be able to provide the services which our joint venture partners have
failed to provide, due to our lack of experience or expertise in certain areas and we may not be successful in finding
suitable substitute partners.
In addition, we may also need the cooperation and consent of our various joint venture partners in connection with
the operations of our joint ventures, which may not always be forthcoming. We may have disagreements with our
joint venture partners regarding the business and operations of the joint ventures. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to resolve such disputes in a manner that will be in our best interests, especially where we have minority
stakes in the joint ventures. If we are unable to successfully manage relationships with our joint venture partners, our
projects and our profitability may suffer. In addition, our joint venture partners may have economic or business
interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
36. We require certain approvals or licenses in the ordinary course of business and any inability to procure any or all
such licenses or retain them in a timely manner, or at all, could expose us to significant risk including
abandonment and/or delay of certain project and an adverse effect on business, revenue and financial results.
We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating our business and are also required
to obtain certain consents and permissions including labour related consents and permissions pursuant to our EPC
contracts and concession agreements. Some of these approvals may have expired for which we may have either
made or may be in the process of making an application for obtaining their approval or renewal. If we fail to obtain or
retain any of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, or at all, our business may be
adversely affected. Furthermore, government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, some of
which are onerous and require us to make substantial expenditure. If we fail to comply, or a regulator claims we have
not complied, with these conditions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
37. Our business is subject to a variety of safety, health and environmental laws and regulations. Any failure on our
part to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.
As an infrastructure company, we are required to comply with various laws and regulations relating to the
environment. Some of our project operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations including the
Environmental Protection Act 1986, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, the Water (Prevention
49
and Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and other regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and the
Pollution Control Boards (PCBs) of the relevant states. We may incur substantial costs in complying with
environmental laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that compliance with such laws and regulations will
not result in completion delays or material increases in our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
We believe environmental regulation of industrial activities in India will become more stringent in the future. The
scope and extent of new environmental regulations, including their effect on our operations, cannot be predicted with
certainty. The costs and management time required to comply with these requirements could be significant. The
measures we implement in order to comply with these new laws and regulations may not be deemed sufficient by
governmental authorities and our compliance costs may significantly exceed our estimates. If we fail to meet
environmental requirements, we may also be subject to administrative, civil and criminal proceedings by
governmental authorities, as well as civil proceedings by environmental groups and other individuals, which could
result in substantial fines and penalties against us as well as orders that could limit or halt our operations.
There can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or be held
responsible in any such future litigation or proceedings relating to safety, health and environmental matters in the
future, the costs of which could be material. Clean-up and remedial costs, as well as damages, other liabilities and
related litigation, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
38. Our business could be adversely affected by the unauthorized use of trademark and brand of our Company
Our Company has registered ‘ ’ logo with the trade marks registry, Government of India for the
protection of its intellectual property. Certain group companies are using logos similar to the ‘Supreme (logo)’ which
has been registered by the Company. We do not have any contractual agreement with such group companies for using
the ‘Supreme (logo)’. Unauthorized use or misuse of such similar logos may adversely effect the business of the
Company.
39. We are dependent on our senior management personnel as well as the availability of qualified personnel and an
inability to attract, recruit, retain and train our senior management and other key personnel could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
We are dependent on our Directors, senior management and other key personnel, including skilled project
management personnel, for setting our strategic direction and managing our business, which are crucial to our
success and business strategy.
Our senior managers have extensive knowledge of our Company’s business, industry and operations. While we
believe that we have been successful in securing the satisfaction and loyalty of its key employees, it is possible that
in the future the Company may not be able to retain its key personnel or skilled employees. The loss of services of
our Directors, senior management or other key personnel or our inability to recruit or train a sufficient number of
experienced personnel or our inability to manage the attrition levels in different employee categories may have an
adverse effect on our results of operations.
40. Our Company does not maintain contractual relationship with contractors for hiring of contract labour.
We rely on contractors who engage on-site labourers for performance of operations that involve unskilled labour. The
requirement of these contract labourers is presently met through local contractors. Our Company does not typically
maintain contractual relationship with these contractors. Any change in relationship with these contractors may
adversely affect our operations. Further, pursuant to hiring such labourers, there is a possibility of an application
being made by the contract labourers to a court/tribunal, pleading for regularisation or absorption as permanent
employees of the Company, which may lead to judicial proceedings and /or orders against the Company.
41. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our
employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees.
We employ a significant number of employees. As on September 30, 2014 we had 2,125 employees on our rolls.
Historically, we have not experienced any significant strikes or other labour disputes. However, there can be no
assurance that we will not experience disruptions to our operations due to disputes or other problems with our work
force, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
50
We also regularly contract with subcontractors and third parties for the provision of labour for our projects, including
international projects. We are dependent on these subcontractors and third parties, and if they experience disruptions
related to their work force, including strikes and work stoppages, those disruptions may have an adverse effect on our
business and results of operations. We cannot assure you that skilled labour, whether hired directly, through
subcontractors or third parties, will continue to be available at reasonable rates and in the areas in which we execute
our projects. As a result, we may be required to mobilize additional resources at a greater cost to us to ensure the
adequate performance and delivery of contracted services.
42. Our Company has no experience in some of its lines of activity.
We have entered into agreements for the construction of a stay cable bridge, funicular ropeway project development
and other challenging opportunities. Our Company does not have prior experience in such lines of business and thus
shall be vulnerable to risks associated with such ventures like price escalation, delay in completion of the contract and
deficiency in the quality of construction.
43. Promoters of our Company have interests in other companies, which are into the same or similar lines of business
as the Company.
The Promoters have incorporated a company in the name and style of “Supreme Housing and Hospitality Private
Limited” with the objective of infrastructure development as contractors and also to run and carry on the businesses
of hotels, restaurants etc. which is similar to the business of the Company. Thus, there is a possibility of a conflict of
interest between such companies managed by the Promoters.
44. Our success depends upon our ability to sustain effective implementation of our business and growth strategy.
Failure to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.
We have experienced high growth in previous years and expect our businesses to grow significantly by increasing
the projects that we are bidding for and increasing manufacturing capacities. Although we plan to continue to expand
our scale of operations through organic growth or investments in other entities, we may not grow at a rate
comparable to our growth rate in the past, either in terms of income or profit. Even then, we expect our future growth
to place significant demands on our management and operations and require us to continuously evolve and improve
our financial, operational and other internal controls across the organisation. In particular, continued expansion
increases the challenges involved in:
maintaining high levels of project control and management, and client satisfaction;
recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled management and technical and marketing personnel;
adhering to health, safety and environment and quality and process execution standards that meet client
expectations;
operating in jurisdictions where we have limited experience;
preserving a uniform culture, values and work environment in operations within and outside India;
Increase in funding requirement; and
developing and improving our internal administrative systems, particularly our financial, operation and other
internal control systems.
Any inability to manage our growth may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We may
not be successful in implementing our strategies.
45. The Company’s business is dependent on the implementation of the Central and State budget allocation to the
building and infrastructure sectors. Policies and political situation in the country will have an impact on our
performance.
Demand for our construction services is principally dependent on sustained economic development in the regions in
which we operate. In addition, demand for our infrastructure services is largely dependent on government policies
relating to infrastructure development and budgetary allocations made by governments for such development, as well
as funding provided by international and multilateral development financial institutions for infrastructure projects.
Investment by the private sector in infrastructure projects is dependent on the potential returns from such projects and
is therefore linked to government policies relating to private sector participation and the sharing of risks and returns
from such projects. A reduction of capital investment in the building or infrastructure sectors for any reason could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
46. Some of our corporate records relating to allotments of our equity shares in the past are not traceable.
51
We are unable to trace copies of certain corporate records and filings in relation to equity shares issued and allotted by
the Company in the past, and in particular, on allotments of equity shares of the Company from its incorporation on
April 8, 1983 till January 7, 2007. We have placed reliance on other documents, including our prospectus dated
October 3, 2007 in relation to the initial public offering of shares of the Company for corroborating the share capital
history of the Company for such period. We have not been able to obtain copies of such relevant documents,
including from the relevant Registrar of Companies in India.
47. We will continue to be controlled by our Promoters and certain Promoter Group entities after the completion of
the Issue and our Promoters may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with our
interests or the interests of our minority shareholders.
The pre-Issue shareholding of our Promoters and Promoter Group, as on January 2, 2015 was 59.05%.
Consequently, our Promoters will continue to exercise significant control over us, including being able to control
the composition of our Board of Directors and determine matters requiring shareholder approval or approval of our
Board of Directors. Our Promoters may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with
our interests or the interests of our minority shareholders. By exercising their control, our Promoters could delay,
defer or cause a change of our control or a change in our capital structure, delay, defer or cause a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, discourage or encourage a potential acquirer
from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
48. Our Company has pledged some of its shareholding in the subsidiaries with certain lenders. If the lenders exercise
their rights and dilute the shareholding of our Company, it may adversely affect our business.
Our Company has pledged some of its shareholding in the subsidiaries with certain lenders. If the pledges are
enforced, the shareholding of our Company in the subsidiaries may be diluted and we may face certain impediments
in taking decisions on certain key, strategic matters in relation to such subsidiaries and amongst other things, will
entitle the lenders to attend general meetings of our subsidiaries, and exercise voting rights in respect of the pledged
equity shares of the subsidiaries, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
49. Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain the statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to
operate our business could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We require certain statutory and regulatory permits and approvals for our business, including various approvals for
the purpose of operating our projects. Additionally, we may need to apply for further approvals in the future
including renewal of approvals that may expire from time to time. There can be no assurance that the relevant
authorities will issue such permits or approvals in the timeframe anticipated by us or at all. Failure by us to renew,
maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals at the requisite time may result in the interruption of our
operations and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further,
we cannot assure that the approvals, licenses, registrations and permits issued to us would not be suspended or
revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or
pursuant to any regulatory action.
50. No audited standalone or consolidated financial statements post March 31, 2014 are available.
We don’t have any audited financial statement after March 31, 2014 available. Our unaudited reviewed standalone
interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended September 30, 2014 is available. However, the
unaudited statements and the limited review report thereof doesn’t include the notes to accounts, schedules and
annexures and only include limited balance sheet and profit and loss account information unlike our audited
consolidated financial statement as at and for the year ended March 31, 2014.
51. Our Company has experienced negative cash flows in fnancial year 2012 and may experience the same in
future.
We have had negative cash flows from operating activities as per our audited financial statements for the financial
year 2012. There can be no assurance that we will not have negative cash flows in the future. Negative cash flows
over extended periods, or significant negative cash flows in the short term, could materially impact our ability to
operate our business and implement our business strategies and growth plans. As a result, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For further details, please see section
titled “Financial Statements” on page 174 of this PreliminaryPlacement Document.
52
52. Any downgrading of our or our Subsidiaries' debt rating by a credit rating agency could have a negative impact on
our business.
Any adverse revision to our Company or our Subsidiaries’ credit rating or the rating of India's domestic or
international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and
the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such funding is available. This could have an adverse effect on
our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading
price of the Equity Shares. India Ratings & Research (Ind-Ra) has downgraded the Company’s Long-Term Issuer
Rating to ‘IND BB’ from ‘IND BBB-’.
53. There have been certain proceedings in the past against some of our Directors, in relation to entities with which
they were previously associated and against them in their personal capacity, which have been instituted by SEBI
and MCA amongst other regulatory authorities.
There have been findings against some of our Directors, in relation to entities with which they were previously
associated and against them in their personal capacity which have been instituted by SEBI and MCA amongst other
regulatory authorities. In some of these cases these Directors have been penalised by the regulator. There can be no
assurance that there will be no such proceedings against our Promoters and/or the Directors in the future. If such
proceedings are instituted against our Promoter and Directors it may result in loss of our Company’s reputation and
adversely affect our business and operations.
54. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP, used throughout our financial information and other
accounting principles with which investors may be more familiar.
As stated in the report of our auditors included in this Preliminary Placement Document, our financial statements are
prepared and presented in conformity with Indian GAAP, consistently applied during the periods stated, except as
provided in such reports, and no attempt has been made to reconcile any of the information given in this Preliminarey
Placement Document to any other principles or to base it on any other standards. Indian GAAP differs from
accounting principles and auditing standards with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries,
including IFRS. Accordingly the degree to which the financial information included in this Placement Document will
provide meaningful information is dependent on your familiarity with Indian GAAP and the Companies Act. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian GAAP on the financial disclosures presented in this Placement
Document should accordingly be limited.
Risks Relating to India
1. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties may adversely affect our business and financial
performance.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by any change in laws or interpretations of
existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations applicable to us and our business. We cannot
assure you that the Central Government or State Governments in India will not implement new regulations and
policies which will require us to obtain additional approvals and licenses from the government and other
regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. We cannot predict the
terms of any new policy, and we cannot assure you that such policy will not be onerous. For example, the
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has prepared a draft legislation to establish an industry regulator
with both enforcement and advisory functions. The government is seeking the views of the concerned
ministries on the draft Regulatory Authority for Highways in India Bill, 2013. The draft Bill proposes to, inter
alia, give adjudicatory powers to a proposed regulator (independent of the NHAI) in areas such as contract
dispute resolution, enforcement of contractual provisions and renegotiation of future contracts.
Further, the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Act, 2013 (the “Land Acquisition Act, 2013”) came into force with effect from January 1, 2014.
However, the rules related to its implementation are yet to be notified. The provisions of the Land Acquisition
Act, 2013 cover various aspects related to the acquisition of land which may affect us, including provisions
stipulating (i) restrictions on land acquisition (e.g., certain types of agricultural land) and (ii) compensation,
rehabilitation and resettlement of affected people residing on such acquired land. Even though the National
Highways Act, 1956, as amended, has been exempt from the applicability of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013,
the Central Government, may by notification, within one year from the date of commencement of the Land
Acquisition Act, 2013 (i.e. by January 1, 2015), direct that any of the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act,
53
2013 in relation to determination of compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement apply to cases of land
acquisition under the exempt laws, including the National Highways Act, 1956. Any changes and related
uncertainties with respect to the implementation of new regulations may have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations, including delays in commissioning schedule of our projects.
2. Significant increases in the price or shortages in supply of crude oil could adversely affect the volume of
traffic at the projects operated by us and the Indian economy in general, including the infrastructure sector,
which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
India imports a significant majority of its requirements of crude oil. Crude oil prices are volatile and are subject
to a number of factors, including the level of global production and political factors, such as war and other
conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, where a substantial proportion of the world’s oil reserves are located.
Any significant increase in the price of or shortages in the supply of crude oil could adversely affect the
volume of traffic at the projects operated by us and adversely affect the Indian economy in general, including
the infrastructure sector, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
3. The Companies Act, 2013 has effected significant changes to the existing Indian company law framework
and the SEBI has introduced changes to the listing agreement, which are effective from October 1, 2014,
which may subject us to greater compliance requirements and increase our compliance costs.
A majority of the provisions and rules under the Companies Act, 2013 have been notified and have come into
effect from the date of their respective notification, resulting in the corresponding provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956 ceasing to have effect. The Companies Act, 2013 has brought into effect significant changes to the
Indian company law framework, such as in the provisions related to issue of capital (including provisions in
relation to issue of securities on a private placement basis), disclosures in an offer document, corporate
governance norms, accounting policies and audit matters, specific compliance requirements such as obtaining
prior approval from audit committee, board of directors and shareholders for certain related party transactions,
introduction of a provision allowing the initiation of class action suits in India against companies by shareholders
or depositors, a restriction on investment by an Indian company through more than two layers of subsidiary
investment companies (subject to certain permitted exceptions), prohibitions on loans to directors, insider
trading and restrictions on directors and key managerial personnel from engaging in forward dealing. We may
also need to spend, in each financial year, at least two percent of our average net profits during the three
immediately preceding financial years towards corporate social responsibility activities. As a result of the
changes brought about by the Companies Act, 2013 to the provisions relating to accounting policies, going
forward, we may also be required to apply a different rate of depreciation. Further, the Companies Act, 2013
imposes greater monetary and other liability on the Company and Directors for any non-compliance. To ensure
compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013, we may need to allocate additional resources,
which may increase our regulatory compliance costs and divert management attention.
The Companies Act, 2013 has introduced certain additional requirements which do not have corresponding
provisions under the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, we may face challenges in interpreting and complying
with such requirements due to limited jurisprudence in respect of the relevant provisions. In the event our
interpretation of such provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 differs from, or contradicts with, any judicial
pronouncements or clarifications issued by the government in the future, we may face regulatory actions or we
may be required to undertake remedial steps. Additionally, some of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
overlap with other existing laws and regulations (such as the corporate governance norms and insider trading
regulations issued by the SEBI). Recently, the SEBI issued revised corporate governance guidelines which are
effective from October 1, 2014. Pursuant to the revised guidelines, we will be required to, inter alia, appoint
independent directors subject to terms and conditions as prescribed, establish a vigilance mechanism for
directors and employees and constitute or reconstitute certain committees in accordance with the revised
guidelines and appoint at least one female director to our board of directors by April 1, 2015. We may face
difficulties in complying with any such overlapping requirements. Further, we cannot currently determine the
impact of provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 or the revised SEBI corporate governance norms, which are yet
to come in force. Any increase in our compliance requirements or in our compliance costs may have an adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
4. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the
Competition Act could adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, as amended (the “Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable
adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India. Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal
54
arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect
on competition is considered void and results in the imposition of substantial monetary penalties. Further, any
agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices,
limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or provision of services,
shares the market or source of production or provision of services by way of allocation of geographical area, type
of goods or services or number of customers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging
or collusive bidding is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition. The Competition Act also
prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise.
On March 4, 2011, the Central Government issued and brought into force the combination regulation (merger
control) provisions under the Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require
acquisitions of shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset
and turnover based thresholds to be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the Competition Commission of
India (the “CCI”). Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued the Competition Commission of India
(Procedure in regard to the transaction of business relating to combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended,
which sets out the mechanism for implementation of the merger control regime in India. The Competition Act
aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an appreciable adverse effect on
competition in India. Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive
conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an appreciable
adverse effect on competition in India.
The applicability or interpretation of the Competition Act to any merger, amalgamation or acquisition proposed
or undertaken by us, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by CCI for alleged violation of provisions of the
Competition Act may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
5. Changes in legislation or the rules relating to tax regimes could an adversely affect our business, prospects
and results of operations.
The Central Government has proposed to alter the implementation of direct taxes by way of introduction of the
Direct Taxes Code, 2013. The Direct Taxes Code, 2013 proposes to consolidate and amend laws relating to
income tax and wealth tax and has, among others, specified the manner of aggregation and computation of
income, minimum alternate tax, wealth tax, dividend distribution tax, provided for certain tax incentives and has
imposed penalties in the event of contravention of the provisions of such Code. Further, the Direct Taxes Code,
2013 has specific rates for taxation, including for non-residents. While in the recent budget, it was mentioned
that the Government of India is reviewing the Direct Taxes Code in its present form, if the Direct Taxes Code is
passed in its present form by both houses of the Indian Parliament and approved by the President of India and
then notified in the Gazette of India, it may have significant consequences for us.
Additionally, the Central Government has proposed a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”)
regime that will combine taxes and levies by the Central and State Governments into a unified rate structure.
Given the limited availability of information in the public domain concerning the GST, we are unable to provide
any assurance as to the tax regime following implementation of the GST. The implementation of this new
structure may be affected by any disagreement between certain state Governments, which could create
uncertainty. Any such future amendments may affect our overall tax efficiency, and may result in significant
additional taxes becoming payable.
Further, the General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) are proposed to be effective from April 1, 2016. The tax
consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement could result in denial of tax benefit
amongst other consequences. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions
is uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to our Company, it may have an adverse tax impact on
us.
We have not determined the impact of such proposed legislations on our business. Uncertainty in the
applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or
policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time
consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our
ability to grow our business in the future.
6. Our business is dependent on economic growth in India.
Our performance is dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy. There have been periods of
55
slowdown in the economic growth of India. India’s economic growth is affected by various factors including
domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key
imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency
rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. The GDP growth rate of India has declined to
4.5% in financial year 2013 and 4.7% in financial year 2014 (Source: Indian Economic Survey 2013-14, Ministry
of Finance, Government of India). In the past, economic slowdowns have harmed industries including the road
infrastructure sector. Any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
7. If the rate of Indian price inflation increases, our results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected.
In recent years, India’s wholesale price inflation index has indicated an increasing inflation trend compared to
prior periods. An increase in inflation in India could cause a rise in the cost of transportation, wages, raw
materials or any other expenses. If this trend continues, we may be unable to reduce our costs or pass our
increased costs on to our customers and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely
affected.
8. Our performance is linked to the stability of policies and the political situation in India.
The Central Government and State Governments have traditionally exercised, and continue to exercise, a
significant influence over many aspects of the economy. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of the
Equity Shares, may be affected by interest rates, changes in government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest
and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.
Since 1991, successive governments have pursued policies of economic liberalisation and financial sector
reforms. The current government has announced its general intention to continue India’s current economic and
financial sector liberalisation and deregulation policies. However, we cannot assure you that such policies will
be continued and a significant change in the government’s policies in the future could affect business and
economic conditions in India and could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Any political instability in India may adversely affect the Indian securities markets in general, which could also
adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Any political instability could delay the reform of the
Indian economy and could have an adverse effect on the market for the Equity Shares. Protests against
privatization could slow down the pace of liberalisation and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalisation
could change, and specific laws and policies affecting companies in the road infrastructure sector, foreign
investment, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as
well. A significant change in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies could disrupt business and
economic conditions in India and thereby affect our business.
9. Fluctuation in the value of the Rupee against foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on our results of
operations.
While all of our revenues and most of our expenses are denominated in Rupees, we have and may enter into
agreements in the future, including financing agreements and agreements to acquire components and capital
equipment, which are denominated in foreign currencies and require us to bear the cost of adverse exchange rate
movements. Accordingly, any fluctuation in the value of the Rupee against these currencies has and will affect
the Rupee cost to us of servicing and repaying any obligations we may incur that expose us to exchange rate risk.
10. Financial instability in Indian financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
The Indian financial market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other
countries, particularly in emerging market in Asian countries. Financial turmoil in Asia, Europe, the United
States and elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Although economic
conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have an adverse
effect on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss in investor confidence in the
financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and,
indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any global financial instability, including further deterioration of
credit conditions in the U.S. market, could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial
disruptions may occur again and could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
56
11. Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such
regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources for our projects under development and hence could constrain
our ability to obtain financings on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot
assure you that any required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign currencies will be granted to us
without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our business
growth, financial condition and results of operations.
12. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract
foreign investors, which may adversely impact the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions), if they comply with the valuation and reporting
requirements specified by the RBI. If a transfer of shares is not in compliance with such requirements and does
not fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then the RBI’s prior approval is required. Additionally,
shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and
repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian
income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other government
agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
13. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by a domestic or international rating agency could adversely affect
our business.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to various factors, including changes in tax or fiscal
policy or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, which are outside our control. Any adverse revisions to
India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by domestic or international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at
which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and financial
performance, ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the price of the Equity Shares.
14. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, explosions,
pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely
affect our results of operations or financial condition, including in the following respects:
A natural or man-made disaster, could result in damage to our assets or losses in our projects, or the
failure of our counterparties to perform, or cause significant volatility in global financial markets.
Pandemic disease, caused by a virus such as H5N1, the “avian flu” virus, the Ebola virus, or H1N1, the
“swine flu” virus, could have a severe adverse effect on our business.
Political tension, civil unrest, riots, acts of violence, situations of war or terrorist activities may result in
disruption of services and may potentially lead to an economic recession and/or impact investor
confidence.
Risks Relating to Equity Shares and the Issue
1. Instability in financial markets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
The Indian economy and financial markets are significantly influenced by worldwide economic, financial and
market conditions. Any financial turmoil, especially in the United States of America or Europe, may have a
negative impact on the Indian economy. Although economic conditions differ in each country, investors'
reactions to any significant developments in one country can have adverse effects on the financial and market
conditions in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems, particularly in other
emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets. The global financial turmoil
starting in late 2008, an outcome of the sub-prime mortgage crisis which originated in the United States of
America, led to a loss of investor confidence in worldwide financial markets. Indian financial markets have also
57
experienced the contagion effect of the global financial turmoil, evident from the sharp decline in SENSEX,
BSE's benchmark index. Any prolonged financial crisis may have an adverse impact on the Indian economy,
thereby resulting in a material and adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, profitability
and price of our Equity Shares.
2. The trading volume and market price of our Equity Shares may be volatile.
The market price of our Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among others, the following factors, some of
which are beyond our control:
quarterly variations in our results of operations;
results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;
changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research
analysts and investors;
a change in research analysts' recommendations;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint operations or
capital commitments;
announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
new laws and governmental regulations applicable to our industry;
additions or departures of key personnel;
changes in exchange rates;
changes in the price of oil or gas;
fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; and
general economic and stock market conditions.
A decline in any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares.
3. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments against us or our management.
We are a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. All of our Directors and key
management personnel are residents of India and all our assets and such persons are located in India. As a result,
it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon us or such persons outside India, or to
enforce judgments obtained against such parties outside India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court
would enforce foreign judgments if that court were of the view that the amount of damages awarded was
excessive or inconsistent with public policy. For further details, see section “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities” on
page 14 of this Preliminary Placement Document. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is
required to obtain approval from RBI to execute such a judgment or to repatriate outside India any amount
recovered. It is uncertain as to whether an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments that would contravene
or violate Indian law.
4. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a
shareholder's ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell Equity Shares at a particular point in time.
The Equity Shares are subject to daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India on all listed
companies which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of the Equity Shares. This
circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by
SEBI on Stock Exchanges. The percentage limits on our circuit breakers are set by the Stock Exchanges. The
Stock Exchanges are not required to inform us of the percentage limit of such circuit breakers and may change it
without our knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits the upward and downward movements in the price
of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of our
shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares at
a particular point in time.
5. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the value of Equity Shares,
independent of our operating results.
The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. Dollar has changed substantially in recent years and
may fluctuate substantially in the future. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the
Indian Rupee may affect the value of your investment in the Equity Shares. Specifically, if there is a change in
58
relative value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. Dollar, each of the following values will also be affected:
The U.S. Dollar equivalent of the Indian Rupee trading price of our Equity Shares in India;
The U.S. Dollar equivalent of the proceeds that you would receive upon sale in India of any of our Equity
Shares; and
The U.S. Dollar equivalent of cash dividends, if any, on our Equity Shares, which will be paid only in
Indian Rupees.
You may be unable to convert Indian Rupee proceeds into U.S. Dollars or any other currency or the rate at which
any such conversion could occur could fluctuate. In addition, our market valuation could be seriously harmed by
the devaluation of the Indian Rupee, if U.S. investors analyze our value based on the U.S. Dollar equivalent of
our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, you may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations
if you seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that
foreign currency from India. For historical movements, see the section “Exchange Rate Information” on page 15
of this Preliminary Placement Document.
6. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholdings and sales of the Equity Shares by our
Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
There is no restriction on our ability to issue Equity Shares or our principal shareholders' ability to dispose of
their Equity Shares. Any future equity issuances by our Company may lead to the dilution of investors’
shareholdings in our Company. In addition, any sales of substantial amounts of the Equity Shares in the
secondary market, including by our Promoters or other major shareholders, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares and could materially impair future
ability of our Company to raise capital through offerings of the Equity Shares. We cannot predict the effect, if
any, that the sale of the Equity Shares held by our Promoters or other major shareholders or the availability of
these Equity Shares for future sale will have on the market price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance
that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise
encumber their Equity Shares.
7. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to this Issue will be listed on the BSE and NSE
in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, final approval for listing and trading of the Equity Shares will not be
granted by the BSE and the NSE until after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval will
require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure
or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the BSE and/or NSE. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval
would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
8. An investor will not be able to sell any of the Equity Shares subscribed in this Issue other than on a recognized
Indian stock exchange for a period of 12 months from the date of the Issue of Equity Shares.
Pursuant to the SEBI Regulations, for a period of 12 months from the date of the issue of Equity Shares in the
Issue, QIBs subscribing to the Equity Shares in this Issue may only sell their Equity Shares on the floor of a
recognised stock exchange in India and may not enter into any off-market trading in respect of these Equity
Shares. We cannot be certain that these restrictions will not have an impact on the price of the Equity Shares.
9. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain
realised on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months will not be subject
to capital gains tax in India if STT, has been paid on the transaction. STT will be levied on and collected by an
Indian stock exchange on which the equity shares are sold. Any gain realised on the sale of equity shares held for
more than 12 months by an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a recognised stock exchange and as a
result of which no STT has been paid, will be subject to capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on
the sale of equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to capital gains tax in India. Capital
gains arising from the sale of equity shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where an exemption is
provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident. Generally, Indian tax
treaties do not limit India's ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be
liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdictions on gains arising from a sale of equity shares.
59
10. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian laws which limit our ability to
attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the Equity Shares.
Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and
reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer or shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in
compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to
above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the
Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from
India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. We cannot assure
investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any
particular terms or at all.
11. We may not maintain historical dividends in the future.
While we have paid dividends in the past, there can be no assurance as to whether we will pay dividends in the
future and, if so, the level of such future dividends. Our declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends
is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings,
financial position, cash requirements and availability of profits, as well as the provisions of relevant laws in India
from time to time.

12 month period ended March 31 of that year.
Overview
We are a civil engineering construction company involved in the construction of roads, highways bridges, flyovers,
commercial and residential buildings, water infrastructure, power projects and railway infrastructure. We provide
construction services as an EPC contractor, principal contractor and sub-contractor across various states in India and we
undertake our road projects on a BOT basis. We have been listed on the BSE and the NSE since 2007. Our Company’s
consolidated revenue for FY 2014, FY 2013 and FY 2012 amounted to ₹ 25,904.74 million, ₹ 23,382.94 million and ₹
17,307.39 million, respectively, and for the six months period ended September 30, 2014 on a standalone basis, amounted
to ₹ 7,026.10 million.
The business of our Company is segregated into the following independent business verticals:
Roads Division: Over the past decade, our Company has developed core expertise in the field of construction of roads
and highways. Our roads division undertakes the construction, realignment, widening, strengthening, rehabilitation,
upgrading and maintenance of highways, carriageways and roads in India. Under this business vertical we are also
engaged in the construction of flexible pavements. As on September 30, 2014 the outstanding order book of the roads
division of our Company was ₹ 20,663 million. We undertake to design and execute construction projects to our
client’s requirement on a turnkey basis. In the roads and highway sector, we also undertake to work on a ‘build,
operate and transfer’ or BOT basis through our subsidiary companies viz. Supreme Infrastructure BOT Private
Limited and Supreme Infrastructure BOT Holdings Limited.
Bridges Division: Our bridges division has undertaken projects for design and construction of flyovers, and
underpasses. We have also undertaken special bridges projects like the stay cable bridges. As on September 30, 2014
the outstanding orders of the bridges division of our Company was ₹ 3,964 million.
Buildings Division: Our Company has undertaken the construction of commercial buildings, information technology
parks, hospitals, residential townships for the Indian army, temples, schools, and construction and strengthening of
nallahs. As on September 30, 2014 the order book of the buildings division stood at ₹ 20,102 million.
Power Division: Our Company has undertaken work for distribution of power at the domestic user end by means of
cable laying and installation of step-down & step-up voltage stabilizers on EPC basis. As on September 30, 2014, the
outstanding order book of the power projects of our Company was ₹ 2,277 million.
Water Infrastructure Division: Our water infrastructure division has undertaken integrated engineering and design
works for various water work related projects such as design & construction of water pumping stations, sewage
pumping stations and water treatment plants. Projects for the laying of distribution pipeline networks for portable as
well as sewage and storm water systems are also executed by our Company. We also undertake works for
implementing irrigation projects such as canal lining and other allied works. As on September 30, 2014 the
outstanding order book of the water infrastructure division of our Company was ₹ 5,132 million.
69
Railway Division: Our Company is involved in the construction of funicular railway bridges, extension of bridges,
extension of platforms and construction of car sheds. As on September 30, 2014 our Company has a railway projects
order book of ₹ 543 million.
Factors affecting our Results of Operations
Our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of factors, including the
following key factors:
Terms and Timing of Contracts Awarded and the Stage of Completion of Our Contracts
Our revenues are derived primarily from contracts awarded to us on a project-by-project basis, and our results of
operations and cash flows can fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of contract awards and the stage
of completion of such contracts.
Generally, it is difficult to predict whether or when we will be awarded a new contract since most potential contracts
involve a lengthy and complex bidding and selection process that may be affected by a number of factors, including
changes in existing or assumed market conditions, financing arrangements, governmental approvals and environmental
matters. While service quality, technological capacity and performance, financial strength, health and safety records as
well as reputation and experience are important considerations in client decisions, price is a major factor in most tender
awards. The ability to win contracts may also be dependent, in case of some large size contracts, on our ability to
partner and collaborate with other joint venture partners or co-sponsors and maintain a continuing relationship with our
significant clients, including governmental entities such as NHAI and the PWD in states where we have operation. The
uncertainty associated with the timing of contract awards may increase our cost of doing business over a short period or
a comparatively longer term. Because of the nature of our contracts, we sometimes commit resources to projects prior to
receiving advances or other payments from the client in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on projects as they are
incurred by us. We account for the expenditure incurred in respect of any additional costs, deviations and delays with
respect to a project in the financial year in which they are incurred. Thus, client default or project delays or cancellation
have an effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our Order Book, as of September 30, 2014, was ₹ 52,681 million. Such Order Book information provided by us is not
audited and does not necessarily indicate future earnings related to the performance of such contracts. Future earnings
related to the performance of the work in the Order Book may not necessarily be realized. Due to changes in project
scope and schedule, we cannot predict with any certainty when or if the projects in our Order Book will be performed
and will generate revenue.
Project Estimates, Project Financing and Operational Factors
Majority of our construction projects are performed on a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) basis with escalation clause. Actual
expenses for such contracts are, however, dependent on factors such as the assumptions underlying our bid for various
project uncertainties, changes in engineering design of the project and drawings and technical information provided by
clients on which bids were based; design and engineering construction conditions, site and geological conditions; ability
to obtain requisite approvals; schedule of delivery of equipment and materials to the project site; equipment costs;
delays; local and seasonal weather conditions; and suppliers' or sub-contractors' ability to perform their obligations in a
timely manner.
The availability of credit and cost of financing in India is also a significant factor and if there is any adverse
development leading to an increase in the cost of financing or decrease in availability of funds from lenders, we may
have difficulty accessing the financial markets, which could make it more difficult or expensive to obtain funding. The
financial performance of our infrastructure development and construction projects are subject to various factors such as
ability to complete the project construction on time, within budget or to the standards specified; meeting project
milestones or achieving commercial operation by the scheduled completion date, timely payments from the client,
ability to recover the targeted return on investment if the assumptions contained in the feasibility studies for these
projects do not materialize; geological conditions; and ability of the clients to complete acquisition of private land or
securing rights of way over private land for such projects as well as securing necessary approvals from specified
authorities.
Fluctuating Revenues from Toll Road Projects
70
Toll collection terms for our BOT infrastructure development projects are typically pre-determined with the relevant
government entity and we cannot modify such toll rates to reflect prevailing circumstances, except as provided under
the relevant concession agreement. As the revenue structure for the Project SPVs under each project is generally
predetermined for the life of the project (and fluctuates subject to the built-in adjustment mechanisms contained in the
relevant concession agreements), a Project SPV’s profitability is largely a function of how effectively the Project SPV
manages costs during the term of those agreements. In the case of the tollway road projects whose revenues are not
fixed, the relevant Project SPVs’ profitability and its ability to meet debt service payments is also a function of traffic
volumes and the toll that can be levied on users of the road. These toll roads may also be subject to competition from
new roads developed in these stretches and toll may or may not be charged on such roads, which could potentially result
in a diversion of vehicular traffic to such new roads.
Changes in government policy or delays in the award of infrastructure projects by the government
A large portion of our business consists of infrastructure projects undertaken or awarded by government authorities or
authorities funded by the government. There may be variances in the model adopted in different projects with respect to
risk and responsibility allocation with respect to financing and constructing. Till recently the government policy has
been hugely conducive in attracting private sector participation in the transportation, urban infrastructure and industrial
and commercial infrastructure sectors. If the present trend continues, we believe that our growth and financial
operations will be positively impacted. However any change in government policies leading to a decrease in projects
awarded to private sector participants in infrastructure projects may adversely affect our business and operations.
Delays in the award of infrastructure projects may also affect our business prospects.
For details in relation to factors relating to ‘Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Fluctuations’ and ‘Availability of Tax
Benefits’ please see “Risk Factors – our financing agreements entail interest at variable rates and any increases in
interest rates may adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition” and “Risk Factors – changes in
legislation or the rules relating to tax regimes could an adversely affect our business, prospects and results of
operations.” on page 46 and 54, respectively, of this Preliminary Placement Document.
Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP, applicable accounting standards and the
Companies Act requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
results of operations during the reporting period end. By their nature, these judgments are subject to a degree of
uncertainty. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results could differ from these estimates.
While all aspects of our financial statements should be read and understood in assessing our current and expected
financial condition and results, we believe that the following significant accounting policies warrant particular attention:
Principles of consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard 21
“Consolidated Financial Statements” and Accounting Standard 23 on “Accounting for Investments in Associates in
Consolidated Financial Statements” notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and
the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 read with General Circular 8/2014 dated April 4, 2014, issued by
Ministry of Corporate Affairs, in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in the manner set out below.
All intra-company transactions, balances and unrealized surpluses and deficits on transactions between the
Company, its Subsidiaries and Associates are eliminated.
The BOT contracts are governed by service concession agreements with government authorities (grantor).
Under these agreements, the operator does not own the road, but gets “toll collection rights” against
construction services rendered. Since the construction revenue earned by the operator is considered as
exchanged with the grantor against toll collection rights, profit from such contracts is considered as realized.
Accordingly, BOT contracts awarded to group companies (operator), where work is subcontracted to fellow
subsidiaries, the intra-group transactions on BOT contracts and the profits arising thereon are taken as realized
and not eliminated.
71
The excess of cost to the Company of its investments in subsidiary companies over its share of the equity of
the Subsidiary companies at the dates on which the investments in the Subsidiary companies are made, is
recognized as ‘goodwill’ being an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Alternatively, where the share
of equity in the subsidiary companies as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of investment of the
Company, it is recognized as "capital reserve" and shown under the head "reserves and surplus", in the
consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill arising out of acquisition of subsidiary companies is not amortized and is tested for impairment.
Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries consists of the amount of equity attributable to
the minority shareholders at the dates on which investments are made by the Company in the subsidiary
companies and further movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from construction contracts. The Group follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of
physical measurement of work actually completed at the balance sheet date, taking into account the contractual
price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue and total cost till completion of the contract and the
profit so determined has been accounted for proportionate to the percentage of the actual work done. Unbilled
work-in-progress related to project works is valued at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is
lower, till such time the outcome of the related project is ascertained reliably and at contract rates thereafter.
Revenue from joint venture contracts. Contracts executed in joint venture under work sharing arrangement
(consortium) are accounted in accordance with the accounting policy followed by the Group for an
independent contract to the extent work is executed. In respect of contracts executed in integrated joint
ventures under profit sharing arrangement, the services rendered to the Joint Ventures are accounted as income
on accrual basis. The profit / loss is accounted for, as and when it is determined by the joint venture and the net
investment in the joint venture is reflected as investments, loans and advances or current liabilities.
Income from toll contracts. The net income from toll contracts on BOT basis are recognized on actual
collection of toll revenue.
Dividends. Dividend is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income are accounted for on accrual basis except where the
receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt basis.
Fixed Assets and Intangibles
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes,
and incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation up to the point the asset is ready for its intended use.
Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of capital projects under development and are
carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, borrowing costs capitalized and other
direct expenditure.
Toll Collection Rights - Intangibles are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
Expenditure related to and incurred during implementation of project are included under “Intangible Assets under
Development”. The same will be transferred to the respective intangible assets on completion of project.
Intangible assets also includes software which are not integral part of the hardware are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization. Costs for toll collection rights awarded against construction service by the grantor on BOT basis include
direct and indirect expenses on construction of roads, bridges, culverts etc. and infrastructure at the toll plazas.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation on assets, other than pantoon, shuttering materials and truss, is provided on written down value method,
pro rata from the period of use of assets, at the rates stipulated in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Pantoon,
shuttering material and truss are depreciated over the period of 5 years based on the management’s estimate of useful
life of the asset. Individual assets costing less than ₹ 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year they are put to use. The
72
cost of leasehold land is not amortized as these are perpetual lease.
Toll Collection Rights are amortized over the period of concession, using revenue based amortization as prescribed in
the Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Under this methodology, the carrying value of the rights is amortized in
the proportion of actual toll revenue for the year to projected revenue for the balance toll period, to reflect the pattern in
which the assets economic benefits will be consumed. At each balance sheet date, the projected revenue for the balance
toll period is reviewed by the management. If there is any change in the projected revenue from previous estimates, the
amortization of toll collection rights is changed prospectively to reflect any changes in the estimates.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on
internal/ external factors. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss whenever the carrying
amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or
where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling
price and its value in use.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on management’s estimate required to
settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the
current management estimates.
Provisions are recognized in the financial statements in respect of present probable obligations, for amounts which can
be reliably estimated.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would
be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Group.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end rate. Gains or losses arising out of remittance/translations at the
yearend are credited / debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss except in cases of long term foreign currency
monetary items where they relate to acquisition of fixed assets in which case they are adjusted to the carrying cost of
such assets.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such
assets are ready to be put to use. Costs incurred in raising funds are amortized equally over the period for which the
funds are acquired. Other borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it is accrued.
Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Long-term investments are carried at cost.
However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the
investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value determined on an individual
investment basis.
Inventories
Inventory of construction materials is stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on
first-in-first-out basis.
73
Taxation
Provision for current tax is recognized based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances
and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between the financial statements’ carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet dates. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Where there is
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty
supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits. Other deferred tax assets are
recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in the future. Such assets are reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date to reassess realization. Timing differences originating and reversing during the tax holiday period
are not considered for the purposes of computing deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We operate in a capital intensive industry and our principal liquidity requirements have been to finance our working
capital needs and our capital expenditures. Our construction operations require a significant amount of working capital
to finance the purchase of materials and the performance of construction and other work on projects before payment is
received from clients. Our BOT infrastructure business also requires high levels of financing to fund such projects. To
fund these costs, we have relied on equity contributions, short term and long term borrowings, including working capital
financing, advances from clients and cash from operating activities.
Our funding and treasury activities are conducted consistent with corporate policies designed to enhance investment
returns while maintaining appropriate liquidity for our requirements. Our short-term liquidity requirements relate to
servicing our debt and funding working capital requirements. Sources of short-term liquidity include cash balances,
receipts from our operations and working capital loans. Our long-term liquidity requirements include partial funding of
investments in new projects, funding equity contributions in Project SPVs and repayment of long-term debt under our
credit facilities. Sources of funding for our long-term liquidity requirements include new loans, equity or debt issues.
Our principal uses of cash have been, and are expected to continue to be, construction and development and
implementation costs of our BOT projects and funded construction projects. For status of our indebtedness, please see
“—Indebtedness” on page 79 of this Preliminary Placement Document.

Many of our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require either our Company or the
borrower Project SPVs, to obtain consents from our lenders prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into
certain transactions, including consents to incur additional debt, issue equity, change their respective capital structure,
increase or modify their respective capital expenditure plans, undertake any expansion, provide additional guarantees,
change their respective management structure, or merge with or acquire other companies, whether or not there is any
failure by such entities to comply with the other terms of such agreements. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain
these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. Under certain of these financing
agreements, our Company and/or the relevant Project SPV, are also required to obtain the consent of the relevant lender
to pay dividends. Any failure to comply with the requirement to obtain a consent, or other condition or covenant under
our financing agreements that is not waived by our lenders or is not otherwise cured by us, may lead to a termination of
our credit facilities, acceleration of all amounts due under such facilities and trigger cross default provisions under
certain of our other financing agreements, and may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations
or implement our business plans. If the obligations under any of our financing documents are accelerated, we may have
to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments under the financing documents,
thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to meet working capital requirements and use for other general
corporate purposes. Further, during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties
raising, further financing. If the obligations under any of our financing agreements are accelerated or if the lenders of a
material amount of the outstanding loans declare an event of default simultaneously, we may be unable to pay our debts
as they fall due.
In addition, under certain financing arrangements entered into in connection with our infrastructure development
projects, we have pledged the Company's equity shares in the relevant Project SPV with the lenders. Furthermore, in
case of a default in the repayment of principal or interest amounts to certain lenders, such lenders have the right to
convert the outstanding defaulted amounts into fully-paid equity shares of the relevant Project SPV. Such conversions
may be exercised on more than one occasion, whenever there is any payment default under such financing
arrangements. Any enforcement of such pledge or any such conversion will result in a reduction of the Company’s
effective shareholding in the relevant Project SPV, thereby reducing the value of its investment in the relevant Project
SPV.

Debt Restructuring Scheme
As of December 31, 2014, our Company has ₹ 39,709.29 million of indebtedness (excluding non-fund base limits)
outstanding on a consolidated basis. Certain portion of the Company indebtedness now is subject to the debt
restructuring scheme discussed below. The overall recession in trade and industry coupled with delays in the
commissioning of certain projects has put considerable financial pressure on the Company and, in particular, on its cash
flow. Consequently, there have been irregularities by our Company in the repayment of banking facilities such as delay
in principal/ interest payment on the outstanding term loans and working capital loans.
The lenders of the Company include the lead banker State Bank of India. The majority of the lenders of our Company
(the “Lenders”) formed a Joint Lenders’ Forum (“JLF”) and are under the process of entering into a Master Joint Lenders
Forum Agreement amongst themselves. The objective of the JLF is to restructure Company’s debt under RBI’s JLF
Framework.
In the JLF meeting held on December 26, 2014, the JLF has, agreed for a restructuring approach through JLF route for
the Company with cut-off date as October 1, 2014. Further, as per the proposed restructuring scheme, our Company is
required to infuse funds through qualified institutions placement of its equity shares by February 5, 2015. Further, our
Company is required to provide details of additional collateral securities for adequate asset cover as required for the
proposed restructuring. The JLF have formed sub-committee to monitor the progress of restructuring process and the
Sub-committee is to meet every fortnightly to review the progress of restructuring process.

our related party transactions, see “Financial Statements” on page 174 of this Preliminary Placement Document and
annual reports available on our website.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Credit Risk
In our infrastructure development and construction business, we currently derive most of our turnover from contracts
with government entities as the counter-party. Payments by such entities are typically not secured by any form of credit
support such as letters of credit, performance guarantees or escrow arrangements.
Interest Rate Risk
As our infrastructure development and construction businesses and our real estate business are capital intensive, we are
exposed to interest rate risk. Interest rates for borrowings have been volatile in India in recent periods. Our
86
infrastructure development and construction projects are funded to a large extent by debt and increases in interest
expense may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our current debt facilities carry
interest at variable rates as well as fixed rates with the provision for periodic reset of interest rates. Although we may
exercise any right available to us under our financing arrangements to terminate the existing debt financing arrangement
on the respective reset dates and enter into new financing arrangements, there can be no assurance that we will be able
to do so on commercially reasonable terms, that our counterparties will perform their obligations, or that these
agreements, if entered into, will protect us adequately against interest rate risks.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to upward fluctuations in the price and availability of the raw materials and fuel we require for
implementation of our projects, such as cement, bitumen, steel and other construction materials. While some of the
contracts we enter into contain price escalation provisions, allowing for an adjustment to the contract value in the event
of any increase in the prices of raw materials, adjustments to the contract price may not adequately cover the entire
increase in raw material prices. We do not currently use any derivative instruments, or enter into any other hedging
arrangements so as to manage our exposure to price increases in raw materials.
Seasonality of Business
Our operations may be adversely affected by difficult working conditions during the summer months and during
monsoon season that restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources. During periods
of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating expenses but our revenue
from construction activities may be delayed or reduced.

The information contained in this section is derived from various Government and other industry sources. Neither we nor
any other person connected with the Issue has independently verified this information. Industry sources and publications
generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable,
but that their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be

India Economic Overview
India, the world's largest democracy having a population of an estimated 1,236 million, as of July 2014, had an estimated
GDP on a purchasing power parity basis of approximately U.S.$4.99 trillion in 2013. This makes it the fourth largest
economy by GDP in the world after the U.S., European Union and China.
The global slowdown resulted in a decline in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from 8.9% in 2010-11 to
6.7% in 2011-12 and further lower at 4.5% in 2012-13. Growth slowdown in India is broadly in sync with trends in similar
emerging economies. However, with the economy clocking a growth rate of 4.7% in 2013-14, the declining trend in
India’s economic growth seems to have taken a U-turn. Growth in India is expected to rise to 5.6 percent in 2014 and
pick up further to 6.4 percent in 2015 as both exports and investment increase.
Economic activity in India is beginning to look up. The Reserve Bank of India projects the growth rate to improve from
4.7 percent in 2013-14 to 5.5 percent in 2014-15. Business and consumer confidence is fast improving after the new
government was formed in May 2014. Economic outlook beyond this year looks still better. Structural constraints are
being addressed expeditiously. A large number of stalled projects have already been cleared, and are gradually beginning
to pick up pace. It is expected that investment activity will soon pick up. Retail inflation is also trending down. Inflation,
which was 11.2 per cent in November 2013, declined to 7.8 per cent in August 2014. In terms of the glide path envisaged
by the Reserve Bank of India, retail inflation is projected to decline to 6 per cent by January 2016.
India’s twin deficits, viz., the fiscal deficit and the current account deficit, which made the economy vulnerable in 2013,
have improved significantly. The gross fiscal deficit is budgeted to decline from 4.5 per cent in 2013-
14 to 4.1 in 2014-15. India’s current account deficit (CAD)-GDP ratio has also declined from 4.7 percent in 2012-13 to 1.7
per cent in 2013-14. The recent fall in oil prices, if sustained, will help narrow the deficit further. India has also been
receiving large portfolio flows. Consequently, India’s foreign exchange reserves have increased significantly.

Twelfth Five Year Plan
The Twelfth Five Year Plan lays special emphasis on development of the infrastructure sector, as the availability of
quality infrastructure is important not only for sustaining high growth but also ensuring that the growth is inclusive. The
total investment in the infrastructure sector during the Twelfth Five Year Plan, estimated at ₹ 56.3 lakh crore (approx.
US$1trillion), will be nearly double that made during the Eleventh Five Year Plan.
This step up in investment will be feasible primarily because of enlarged private-sector participation that is envisaged.
Unbundling of infrastructure projects, public private partnerships (PPP), and more transparent regulatory mechanisms
have induced private investors to increase their participation in infrastructure sectors. Their share in infrastructure
investment increased from 22 per cent in the Tenth Five Year Plan to 38 per cent in the Eleventh Plan and is expected to be
about 48 per cent during the Twelfth Five Year Plan.

Roads
For a country of India's size, an efficient road network is an imperative for national integration and also for
socio-economic development. Thus, Road Transport is a critical infrastructure for India’s overall economic development.
India has one of the largest road networks in the world, spread over 48.65 lakh km. It comprises national highways,
expressways, state highways, major district roads, other district roads, and village roads with following length
distribution. In India, Road infrastructure is used to transport over 60 per cent of total goods and 85 per cent of total
passenger traffic (Source – Economic Survey)
Type Total Length (km) % Share of Total Roads
State Highways 142,687 3.3%
National Highways / Expressways 92,851 1.7%
District or Rural Roads 46,29,462 95.0%
Source – Ministry of Road, Transport & Highways, May 2014
Through Five Year Plans, India has increased the length of national highways from 21,378 kms during the late 1940s to
76,818 kms by the end of the 11th Five Year Plan (FY2008-2012). For the Twelfth Plan period, the working group
constituted by the Planning Commission on financing urbanisation worked out the requirement of investment for the
urban transport sectors as below:
(Source: Twelfth Five Year Plan, Reference note on National Highways Development Project: An Overview)
The National Highways Development Project
As National Highways comprise about ~2% of the total road length in India and yet carry over 40% of the total traffic,
India’s National Highways Development Program (NHDP) is the world’s largest road development program based on
Public Private Partnership (PPP) Model. The NHDP is spread over seven phases with an estimated expenditure of ₹
89
4,71,975 crores. The programme envisages the upgradation of over 54,500 kms of arterial routes of the National
Highways network to international standards. Currently, about 24% of the total length of NHs is single lane/intermediate
lane, about 52% is two-lane standard, while the balance 24% is four-lane standard or more.

During the financial year 2014-15, about 6,000 kms of the National Highways are to be improved along with
construction/rehabilitation of 190 nos. of bridges and 10 nos. of bypasses as standalone projects at an estimated cost of ₹
23,000 crore. The Ministry has taken up the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in the North Eastern
Region (SARDP-NE) involving widening of 10,141 km of National Highways and other roads in three phases ensuring
connectivity of 88 district headquarters in the North Eastern Region to the National Highways. An outlay of ₹ 3,000 crore
has been proposed for SARDP-NE for the year 2014-15. (Source – MoRTH)

Construction (EPC) mode for National Highways which are not viable on Public-Private Partnership (PPP )
basis. The Twelfth Five-Year Plan envisages the construction of 20,000 km of 2-lane National Highways
projects through EPC mode. The Government has adopted the EPC mode of construction to ensure
implementation of projects to specified Standards with a fair degree of certainty relating to cost and time and
with a view to enabling a transparent, fair and competitive roll out of National Highway projects.

Relaxation of Exit Clause for Developers, thus Improving Liquidity – A majority of the highway
developers in India are contractors whose core strengths are in engineering, procurement and construction
(EPC), and not in assuming financial risks of operating and collecting toll from completed projects. In contrast,
there are investors with sufficient resources — from private equity firms to sovereign wealth funds — wanting to
acquire road projects, but unwilling to take the risk of construction. Thus, a relaxation in the exit clause is likely
to permit new investors with deeper pockets to buy out the rights to develop and operate highway projects from
developers who originally bagged them.
Exemption of Environmental Clearance Requirement for Stretches up to 100 kms in Length - In a major
relief to highway widening projects, the Cabinet gave the green signal for the exemption of environmental
clearance requirement for stretches up to 100 kms in length. Earlier, this was only for stretches up to 30 kms, as
a result of which most expansion projects required a green nod from the Environment Ministry.
Amendments made in the Right to fair compensation and transparency in Land Acquisition,
rehabilitation and resettlement Act, 2013 - In the process of prolonged procedure for land acquisition, neither
the farmer is able to get benefit nor is the project completed in time for the benefit of society at large. Therefore
the present amendments allow a fast track process for defence and defence production, rural infrastructure
including electrification, housing for poor including affordable housing, industrial corridors and infrastructure
projects including projects taken up under Public Private Partnership mode where ownership of the land
continues to be vested with the government.

Housing and Urban Infrastructure in India
With the current rate of urbanization, India may face a situation of poor performance across key indicators of quality of
life like water supply, public transportation, vehicular congestion, sewage treatment, parks and open spaces and slum
population. The rapid pace of urbanization is an indicator of the critical need for infrastructure and amenities in the cities
and towns of India.
The house building industry is a major employer with strong and large multiplier effects. The housing industry is one of
the largest employment generator in India, only second to agriculture. The housing sector in India is ranked 4th
as per
multiplier effect in terms of income generation ahead of agriculture and transport.
The rapid pace of urbanization owing to the rural-urban migration is putting a strain on the urban infrastructure in the
cities of India and has led to substantial housing shortage. The technical group on housing shortage has estimated the
housing shortage in urban India at 18.78 Million with 95% shortage in EWS/LIG segment in 2012. There is a looming
housing shortage in rural India, which is estimated at 43.9 million by the working group on rural housing shortage in 2012
out of which more than 90% of the shortage of housing lies with the lower income and marginalized groups.
All costs for housing cannot be met by the Government and therefore there is need to attract private sector investment. It is
estimated that an investment of $1.2 trillion is required just in capital expenditure in Indian cities over the next twenty
years. If India taps into five sources of funding used in cities around the world – monetized land assets, higher property
taxes, user charges that reflects costs, debt and public-private partnerships, and formula based government funding- its
largest cities could generate as much as 80% of the funding they require from internal sources.
Safe water and sanitation are public goods as they have very large positive externalities. It is necessary that structural
issues facing the sectors are addressed through completion of reforms mandated under JNNURM. These issues include
high levels of non-revenue water, low level of metering, intermittent supply, inadequate quality, low sustainability and so
on.

The requirement of Capital expenditure from all sources for these sectors under the Twelfth Plan as estimated
by the Working Group on financing urbanisation is as given below:
(Source: Twelfth Five Year Plan)
The Government has launched few schemes / programmes to provide reform linked infrastructure facilities in the urban
areas like Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission(JNNURM), Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for
Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT), JNNURM PMIS, North Eastern Region Urban Development Programme
(NERUDP), National Urban Information System(NUIS), Public Cycle Sharing Toolkit, Capacity Building for Urban
Local Bodies, 100 MLD Sea Water Reverse Osmosis De-salination Plant at Nemmeli, Chennai, Brihan Mumbai Storm
Water Drainage Project at Mumbai, Pooled Finance Development Fund Scheme, Pilot Scheme for of Urban Infrastructure
Development in Satellite Towns around seven megacities, Lump Sum Provision Scheme for the benefit of NER including
Sikkim
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) was launched by the Ministry of Urban Development
for a seven-year period (i.e. up to March 2012) for encouraging cities to initiate steps for bringing about improvements in
their civic service levels in a phased manner. The government extended the tenure of the Mission for two years, i.e. from
1 April 2012 to 31 March 2014. Besides this, in January 2013, the government also approved a transition phase for
launching of new projects under the JnNURM. The components under Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG),
sub-mission of the JnNURM, are urban renewal, water supply (including desalination plants), sanitation, sewerage and
solid waste management, urban transport, development of heritage areas, and preservation of water bodies. Revised
allocation for the UIG sub-mission for the Mission period is ₹ 31,500 crore. A sum of ₹ 5,500 crore (budget estimates-BE)
had been provided for the year 2013-14. As on 31 March 2014— under the first phase of the JnNURM, 538 projects at a
total cost of ₹ 60,201 crore had been sanctioned under the UIG sub-mission with additional central assistance (ACA) of ₹
27,655 crore, of which ₹ 21,119 crore was released to the 65 mission cities across 31 states/UTs.

Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns
The Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) is a sub-component of the
JnNURM for development of infrastructure facilities in all towns and cities other than the 65 Mission cities covered under
its UIG sub-mission. Revised allocation for the UIDSSMT for the Mission period was 11,400 crore. From its inception in
December 2005 till March 2014 a total of 801 projects across 668 towns and cities at a cost of ₹ 13,866 crore with ACA
commitment of ₹ 11,197 crore had been sanctioned. A sum of ₹ 4488 crore (BE) was provided for the year 2013-14. Out
of the committed ACA of ₹ 11,197 crore, ₹ 9996 crore had been released till 31 March 2014. During April 2013 to March
2014 ₹ 2919 crore was released as ACA under the UIDSSMT

Smart Cities
92
As the fruits of development reach an increasingly large number of people, the pace of migration from the rural areas to
the cities is increasing. A neo middle class is emerging which has the aspiration of better living standards. The Prime
Minister has a vision of developing ‘one hundred Smart Cities’, as satellite towns of larger cities and by modernizing the
existing mid-sized cities. To provide the necessary focus to this critical activity, the government has provided a sum of ₹
7,060 crore in the current fiscal.

Power Transmission
Current Transmission Market Structure
(Source: FICCI “Power Transmission: The Real Bottleneck”, September, 2013)
The transmission segment plays a key role in transmitting power to various distribution entities across India. The
inter-regional capacity at the end of the Eleventh Plan was 28 GW. During the Twelfth Plan, total transmission substation
capacity addition is expected to be 270,000 MVA, while 110,340 cKm of transmission lines are expected to be added.
With this, the inter-regional transmission line carrying capacity at the end of the 12th Plan is expected to increase to 66
GW. (Source: CEA)

Railways
The Indian Railways network spans more than 64,600 kms, making it the world’s third-largest rail network. It is the
largest passenger carrier and the fourth-largest rail freight carrier in the world. Increasing urbanisation coupled with rising
incomes (both urban and rural) is driving growth in the passenger segment. Growing industrialisation across the country
has increased freight traffic over the last decade. Both passenger and freight traffic volumes have increased steadily in the
past five years. While passenger traffic witnessed a CAGR of 5.2% during 2008–13, freight traffic has registered a
marginally lower CAGR of 4.9% during the same period. The sector runs 12,617 trains, carrying over 23 Million
passengers daily and connecting more than 7,172 stations. The Indian Railways runs more than 7,421 freight trains,
carrying about 3 Million Tonnes of freight every day. The sector’s total track length is 116,000 km. It also comprises
63,870 coaches, more than 240,000 wagons and 1.3 Million employees. FDI in railway-related components stood at USD
559 Million, for the period April 2000 to May 2014.
The Indian government in its Make in India initiative has highlighted various investment opportunities in the Indian
railway infrastructure sector like - high speed train projects, projects relating to electrification, high-speed tracks and
suburban corridors, dedicated freight corridors, the re-development of railway stations, setting up of wagon, coaches and
locomotive units, Gauge conversion, etc.
As on date, the Indian Railways have a large shelf of on-going projects whose completion would require about ₹ 2,25,000
crore. The magnitude of the task is huge and any neglect of the same is bound to lead to severe capacity limitations
adversely affecting the competitiveness and growth of the Indian Railways. It is estimated that the Indian Railways would
not be able to generate sufficient funds internally, through borrowings and from budgetary support for meeting the
investment requirements of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. The shortfall would be met through private investments in PPP
projects. Additional investment from private sector is also expected through their investments in manufacturing facilities
created as a consequence of partnerships with Indian Railways. Together it is expected that investments of about ₹ 1 lakh
crore would be made by the private sector during the Twelfth Five Year Plan on traffic facilities, other electrical works;
workshops including PSUs, passenger amenities; investment in PSUs/JVs/SPVs, and so on. PPP Projects related to rolling
stock manufacturing units, modernisation of railway stations, multifunctional complexes, logistics parks, private freight
terminal, freight train operators, liberalised wagon investment schemes, dedicate Freight Corridors and so on which are in
pipeline offer excellent opportunities for private investment.
High capacity Metro rails are already in use in India and are proving to be successful in addressing the issues of public
transport. Global experiences suggest that metro rail transit systems have largely been developed by the public sector (an
analysis of 132 cities worldwide shows that 113 cities (~88 per cent) have metros which are developed and operated in
public sector mode). As MRTS alignment usually result in a significant rise in value of the real estate along its zone of
influence, Government entities promoting metro rail have used this resource to fund other urban infrastructure. The
efficiency gains through PPP have been brought in at the O&M stage. However, given the huge requirement of capital and
willingness as well as capability of the private capital to undertake such projects, in high-density corridors, projects which
are viable on their own (with admissible viability gap funding and commercial utilisation of land ordinarily required for
the project ) may be encouraged under PPP mode.
Government Initiatives
100% FDI in the railway infrastructure segment has been allowed recently which has opened up opportunities for
participation in infrastructure projects such as high-speed railways, railway lines to and from coal mines and
ports, projects relating to electrification, high-speed tracks and suburban corridors.
Indian Railways has begun exploring the PPP mode of delivery and aims to award projects worth USD 1,000
Billion through the PPP route
The sector aims to boost passenger amenities by involving PPP investments in provision of foot-over bridges,
escalators and lifts at all major stations.
Three rail connectivity projects namely Gevra Road-Pendra Road new line, Raigarh-Bhupdeopur new line and
Jaigarh Port connectivity projects are being implemented through the joint venture route

Competitive Strengths
We believe the following as our principal competitive strengths:
Experience and know how
With over 10 years of experience in executing road and highway projects, beginning with the road sector including
highways, and subsequently expanding to the building, power, water infrastructure and railway infrastructure sectors
across the country, we believe we have developed in depth industry expertise across infrastructure projects. We have
undertaken multiple projects on a BOT basis as well. Prior experience in BOT projects is an important prequalification
criterion for certain of the more significant BOT projects. This track record enables us to meet the technical
prequalification requirements for bidding for potential projects.
95
Strong Order Book and diversified portfolio across various sectors and geographic locations
Our Company’s total outstanding Order Book as on September 30, 2014 was ₹ 52,681 million, diversified across sectors
and geographies.
Our projects are geographically dispersed across various states in the country. Through a presence in different sectors and
in different regions of the country, we believe we are able to mitigate concentration risks associated with operations in
specific segment and specific regions. We have a presence across India and currently provide services across various
states. Our operations are supported by our corporate headquarters in Mumbai, our regional offices in Gurgaon and
Kolkata.
We believe we have created a diversified and sustainable business model, which has grown our revenues. We also believe
that such a diversified business portfolio diminishes the risks associated with the dynamics of any particular sector while
also simultaneously helping us to benefit from the synergies of operating diverse businesses.
Backward Integration
Our Company has 7 quarries and several crusher plants, RMC plants and asphalt plants. We have undertaken backward
integration to manufacture ready mix concrete, asphalt and wet mix mecadam which is used for our construction activity.
The availability of the ready mix transit mixers enables us to service multiple locations for our contracts from a single
nodal point. This in turn helps us in timely servicing of multi-location requirements. Use of ready mix for various projects
undertaken by the Company and sale of this ready mix to third parties results in augmenting our revenues and margins.
We also have access to raw materials that are produced in house. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted supply of raw
materials enabling timely delivery of projects and higher margins. This also reduces the effect of increasing prices of the
raw materials. We handle diverse construction projects, each having its own set of requirements and technical challenges.
Having such an asset base provides assurance on quality of supplies and is advantageous for our business giving us an
edge over our competitors.
Proven execution capabilities
On-time performance
We have received appreciation from our clients for on time completion in relation to the following projects:
North and South Kasheli Bridge Project; and
Jaipur Flyover
Additionally, we follow cost per mile – program evaluation and review technique for allocation of time used for
completion of a project, thereby clearly demarcating the time lines for various activities.
Demonstrated ability to work successfully in partnerships
We have demonstrated our ability to work successfully with various domestic partners, such as Petron Engineering
Construction Limited, MBL Infrastructures Limited, Zanders Engineers Limited and Brahmaputra Infrastructure Limited
on a wide variety of projects in India.
We have established good working relationships with many sub-contractors supporting our various divisions. Such
relationships facilitate an efficient deployment of human resources and extend our execution capabilities.
Large fleet of owned machineries and equipment
In the infrastructure sector timely completion of projects is of utmost importance. Ownership on machinery and
equipment significantly decreases dependence on external sources for equipment supplies. We own a number of plants
and equipment required for construction activities such as tippers, transit mixers, backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel
loaders, concrete pumps, motor graders, pick and carry planes, crawler cranes, hydraulic rotary rigs, rollers, tractors,
water tankers, trailers and milling machines.

growth environment and continuous training programmes. Our Managing Director, Mr. Vikram Sharma has been
awarded the ‘Infra Person of the Year’ at the EPC World Awards 2013.
Strategy
Our vision is to be a leading construction and infrastructure enterprise in India, committed to quality, timely completion of
projects, customer satisfaction, continuous learning and enhancement of stakeholders’ value. To achieve this goal, we
have identified 3 primary strategic objectives for our future development:
Enhance our execution capabilities
Quality of product and timely completion of projects are critical to success in the construction industry. As a result, we
aim to:
consistently deliver a quality product meeting all relevant specifications and requirements;
achieve enhanced customer satisfaction through cost effective and timely completion;
increase the size and capabilities of our in house design and engineering teams;
motivate and train our staff for continual improvement of productivity and quality standards; and
update and implement our procedures in line with developments in international standards.
Leverage and strengthen our market position to benefit from growth factors in our current core markets, and to
expand and diversify into new sectors.
We intend to undertake technically complex, turnkey and design-build projects either alone or through joint ventures if
required. Further, we also intend to continue to control operating and overhead costs to maximize our operating margins.
To facilitate efficient and cost-effective decision-making, we intend to continue to strengthen our internal systems. This
enables us to have better operating margins. Efficient use of the raw material and our fleet of construction equipment
ensure that we maintain high operating margins
We believe that we have developed a reputation for undertaking challenging construction projects from both, the
government as well as private companies. We intend to continue focusing on performance and project execution
capabilities in order to maximize client satisfaction.
We have catered to a range of sectors, which has contributed in increasing our technical knowhow, capabilities, and
spectrum of service offerings. This has also enabled us to de-risk our business model and we plan to further diversify our
portfolio by extending our services to newer sectors. Using our design build model and turnkey capabilities, we intend to
concentrate on projects and geographies where we can retain a competitive edge and seek better margins. For instance, we
97
have in the recent past increased our portfolio of private projects yielding higher margins, as well as expanded into new
segments such as solar power.
Develop and maintain strong relationships with our clients and strategic partners
Our services significantly depend on procuring construction contracts undertaken by the government, semi-governmental
authorities and other projects by private companies. Our business is also dependent on developing and maintaining
strategic alliances with other contractors with whom we may want to enter into project-specific joint ventures or
subcontracting relationships for specific purposes. We will continue to develop and maintain these relationships in both
the client and vendor space. We intend to establish relationships and share risks with companies whose resources, skills
and strategies are complementary to our business and are likely to enhance our opportunities.

Our Project Life Cycle
The BOT Process
The project life cycle for our BOT infrastructure development projects is discussed below:
We bid for infrastructure projects primarily through a competitive bidding process. We evaluate available bid
opportunities and decide whether we should pursue a particular project based on various factors, including the client’s
Technical Bid Opening
Business Development Scanning of newspapers, and identification of tender notices
Pre-bid meeting
Discussion with the tendering authorities regarding clarifications
Preparation of Technical Qualification Criteria and
Financial details for Submission with the Tender
Submission of tender on due date along with General
Arrangement Drawings
Financial Bid Opening
Issue of Letter of Acceptance by the Client to the successful
bidder
Submission of Performance security and signing of agreement
of work
Issue of Work Order by the Client
Mobilisation of Resources at the site
Submission of CPM PERT Program to the Client
Technical Bid Opening
107
reputation and financial strength, the geographic location of the project and the degree of difficulty in executing the
project in such location, our current and projected workload, current traffic on the project road and scope for future
growth, the likelihood of additional work, the project’s cost and profitability estimates and our competitive advantage
relative to other likely bidders. Once we have identified projects that meet our criteria, we submit an application to the
client according to the procedures set forth in the relevant advertisement.
Prequalification
In selecting contractors for major projects, clients generally limit the tender to contractors they have pre-qualified based
on several criteria including experience, technological capacity and performance, reputation for quality, safety record,
financial strength and bonding capacity and size of previous contracts in similar projects, although price competitiveness
of the bid is generally the most important selection criterion. Pre-qualification is key to our winning major projects and we
continue to develop on our pre-qualification status through concentrated marketing efforts aimed at infrastructure
development agencies and entities.
Submitting a Bid
If we pre-qualify for a project, the next step is to submit a financial bid. The financial bids are currently submitted online.
Prior to submitting a financial bid, we carry out a detailed study of the proposed project, including performing a detailed
study of the technical and commercial conditions and requirements of the tender followed by a site visit. Thereafter, a
local market survey is conducted to assess the availability, rates and prices of key construction materials and the
availability of labor and specialist sub-contractors in that particular region.
We attend the pre-bid meetings convened by the clients, during which any ambiguities or inconsistencies in the document
issued by the client are brought to the attention of the client for further clarification. We seek quotations from suppliers
and other sub-contractors for various items or activities in respect of the tender. This data supplements the data gathered
by the market survey. The information gathered is then analyzed to arrive at the cost of items. We then estimate the
revenues from the project over the concession period from the traffic survey reports.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction
Typically, subsequent to a successful bid made in accordance with the process described above, we are required to prepare
project specific architectural and/or structural designs that adhere to regulatory requirements, procure materials for the
relevant project, and effect the actual construction of the project. Our EPC capabilities are integral to the success of our
infrastructure development business.
Prior to the construction of any road, detailed engineering is necessary before any actual physical work can be started.
Engineering work normally includes work related to project layout, process, control systems and instrumentation,
equipment needs planning, and civil works. Designing cost control measures and scheduling are some of our most
important pre-construction engineering activities.
Because material procurement plays such a critical part in the success of any project, we maintain experienced staff to
carry out material procurement activities. Our material procurement, tracking and control systems enable effective
monitoring for our purchasers.
Ownership of the equipment that we use in our construction operations enable us to avoid the costs involved in hiring
construction equipment and complete our projects in a timely manner, as we are not subject to equipment related
construction delays that may be caused by third parties.
Toll Collection Arrangements
Following a successful project bid and the completion of the construction phase of our BOT projects, we assume the role
of the operator of the relevant infrastructure asset during a predetermined concession period. In certain projects, like
‘Manor Vada Bhiwandi’ and ‘Chinchoti Kaman Anjurphata’ we are entitled to commence toll collection on the existing
infrastructure on commencement of the contract, although we may not have completed the construction of the expanded
infrastructure. During the concession period, we maintain and manage the asset and earn revenues through charges, fees,
tolls or annuities generated from the asset.
108
Operation and Maintenance Agreements
After construction has been completed on our BOT infrastructure development projects, and during the concession period
that has been granted to us, we are generally responsible for carrying out operation and maintenance activities at our BOT
project sites. The scope of our operation and maintenance activities is usually defined in the relevant BOT project
agreements. Within the scope of our operation and maintenance obligations, we may be required to undertake routine and
periodic maintenance of project roads and maintain and comply with safety standards.
Equipment
We own a large fleet of sophisticated construction equipment including tippers, transit mixers, backhoe loaders,
excavators, wheel loaders, concrete pumps, motor graders, pick and carry planes, crawler cranes, hydraulic rotary rigs,
rollers, tractors, water tankers, trailers and milling machines. In addition, we may be required to mobilize and procure
various other equipment. Owning a large fleet of equipment enables us to be less dependent on third parties when
implementing our various projects.
Competition
We face competition from both domestic and international entities in the roads and highways infrastructure sector, as most
of the contracts awarded by the Indian Central and State Governments are awarded on a competitive bidding basis and
satisfaction of other prescribed pre-qualification criteria. While service quality, technological capacity and performance,
health and safety records and personnel, as well as reputation and experience, are important considerations in client
decisions, price is a major factor in most tender awards. Our ability to bid for and win major infrastructure development
projects is also dependent on our ability to show experience in executing large projects, demonstrate that we have strong
engineering capabilities in executing technically complex projects, and that we have sufficient financial resources and/or
ability to access funds.
Our competitors include other mid-size construction and infrastructure development companies. We also face competition
from smaller, regional contractors in our construction business.
Health, Safety and Environment
We believe that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable health, safety and environmental
regulations and other requirements in our operations and also maintain adequate workmen’s compensation, group medical
insurance and personal accident insurance policies. We believe that accidents and occupational health hazards can be
significantly reduced through a systematic analysis and control of risks and by providing appropriate training to
management, employees and sub-contractors. Project managers appointed by us for a project are principally responsible

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The following description is a summary of certain sector specific laws and regulations as prescribed by the Government of
of India (“GoI”) or state Governments which are applicable for our Company and its Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and
Associates. The information detailed in this chapter has been obtained from publications available in the public domain.
The regulations set out below are not exhaustive, and are only intended to provide general information to the investors and
and is neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice.
Regulation of the Road Sector
The primary central legislations governing the roads sector are the National Highways Act, 1956 (“NH Act”) and the
National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988 (“NHAI Act”).
NHAI Act
National Highways Authority of India (“NHAI”) was constituted by the NHAI Act, to develop, maintain and manage the
National Highways, vested or entrusted to it by the Central Government. It became operational in February, 1995. The
Central Government provides the capital to the Authority required for discharging its functions. It provides for the
constitution of a fund called as the National Highways Authority of India Fund. The Central Government, in public
interest, may entrust the development, maintenance or management of any national highway or a part thereof to any
Authority who shall be bound to comply with such direction for such period. However, the Central Government would
supersede the Authority, in case of its inability to discharge the functions, default in compliance with any direction or if it
is necessary in public interest.
NH Act
Under the NH Act, the GoI is vested with the power to declare a highway as a national highway and also to acquire land
for this purpose. The GoI may, by notification, declare its intention to acquire any land when it is satisfied that for a
public purpose such land is required to be acquired for the building, maintenance, management or operation of a national
highway or part thereof. The NH Act prescribes the procedure for such land acquisition which inter alia includes entering
and inspecting such land, hearing of objections and declaration of such acquisition and the mode of taking possession.
The NH Act also provides for payment of compensation to owners and any other person whose right of enjoyment in that
land has been affected.
The GoI is responsible for the development and maintenance of national highways. However, it may, by notification in
the official gazette, direct that such functions may also be exercised by governments of the states in which the highway is
located, or by any officer or authority sub-ordinate to the GoI or to the state government. Notwithstanding the aforesaid
provision, the GoI has the power to enter into an agreement with any person for the development and maintenance of a
part or whole of a national highway. Such person would have the right to collect and retain fees at such rates as may be
notified by the GoI having regard to the expenditure involved in building, maintenance, management and operation of the
whole or part of such national highway, interest on the capital invested, reasonable return, the volume of traffic and the
period of the agreement. The National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008 (“NH Fee
Rules”) further provide procedure for technical approval and financial sanction by the GoI or executive agency and
related reporting for execution of works in relation to the operation and maintenance of national highways.
NH Fee Rules
The NH Fee Rules regulates the collection of fee for the use of national highway. The NH Fee Rules supersede the
National Highways (Temporary Bridges) Rules, 1964, the National Highways (Collection of Fees by any Person for the
Use of Section of National Highways/ Permanent Bridge/ Temporary Bridge on National Highways) Rules, 1997 (the
“1997 Fee Rules”), the National Highways (Fees for the use of National Highways Section and Permanent Bridges -
Public Funded Project) Rules, 1997 and the National Highways (Rate of Fees) Rules, 1997 other than in respect of things
done or omitted to be done under such rules prior to supersession. The NH Fee Rules do not apply to the concession
agreements executed or bids invited prior to the publication of such rules i.e. prior to December 5, 2008.
Pursuant to the NH Fee Rules, GoI may, by a notification, levy fee for use of any section of a national highway,
‘permanent bridge’, bypass or tunnel forming part of a national highway, as the case may be. However, GoI may, by
112
notification, exempt any section of a national highway, ‘permanent bridge’, bypass or tunnel constructed through a public
funded project from levy of fees.
The collection of fee shall commence within 45 days from the date of completion of the section of a national highway,
‘permanent bridge’, bypass or tunnel constructed through a public funded project. The NH Fee Rules further provides for
the base rate of fees applicable for the use of a section of the national highway and applicable to different categories of
vehicles. The base rate shall be increased, without compounding, by 3% each year with effect from April 1, 2008 and
such increased rate will be deemed to be the base rate for the extension of fees in the subsequent years. The NH Fee Rules
also provide for, inter alia, an annual revision of the base rate of fees with effect from April 1st each year to reflect the
increase in the WPI between the week ending on January 6, 2007 and WPI for the month of December of the year in
which such revision is undertaken but such revision shall be restricted to a 40% of the increase in WPI. The various
modalities for collection of fee are also outlined in the NH Fee Rules. Under the 1997 Fee Rules (which are applicable to
concession agreements executed prior to December 5, 2008), the GoI may enter into an agreement with any person for the
development and maintenance of the whole or any part of a national highway, ‘permanent bridge’ or temporary bridge on
a national highway and such person is entitled to collect at such rate and for such period as may be notified by GoI.
Indian Tolls Act, 1851
Pursuant to the Indian Tolls Act, 1851, the state governments have been vested with the power to levy tolls at such rates
as they deem fit, to be levied upon any road or bridge, made or repaired at the expense of the Central or any state
government. The tolls levied under the Indian Tolls Act, 1851, are deemed to be ‘public revenue’. The collection of tolls
can be placed under any person as the state governments deem fit under the said act and they are enjoined with the same
responsibilities as if they were employed in the collection of land revenue. Further, all police officers are bound to assist
the toll collectors in the implementation of the Indian Tolls Act, 1851. The Indian Tolls Act, 1851 further gives power for
recovery of toll and exempts certain category of people from payment of toll.
Provisions under the Constitution of India and other legislations in relation to collection of toll
Entry 59, List II of Schedule VII read with Article 246 of the Constitution of India vests the states with the power to levy
tolls. Pursuant to the Indian Tolls Act, 1851, the State Governments have been vested with the power to levy tolls at such
rates as they deem fit.
Financing of the National Highways Development Project (“NHDP”)
The Government of India, under the Central Road Fund Act, 2000 (“Fund”) created a dedicated fund for NHDP. Certain
sources for financing of NHDP are through securitization of cess as well as involving the private sector and encouraging
Public Private Partnership (“PPP”). The NHDP is also being financed through long-term external loans from the World
Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation as well as through tolling of roads.
Private Participation in NHDP
In an effort to attract private sector participation in the NHDP, the NHAI has formulated model concession agreements
where a private entity (the “Concessionaire”) is awarded a concession to build, operate and collect toll on a road for a
specified period of time, which is usually up to 30 years.
The bidding for the projects takes place in two stages as per the process provided below:
in the pre-qualification stage, NHAI selects certain bidders on the basis of technical and financial expertise, prior
experience in implementing similar projects and previous track record; and
in the second stage, NHAI invites commercial bids from the pre-qualified bidders on the basis of which the right
to develop the project is awarded.
In a BOT project, the private entity meets the up front cost and expenditure on annual maintenance and recovers
the entire cost along with the interest from toll collections during the concession period. To increase the viability of the
projects, a capital grant is provided by the NHAI/GoI on a case to case basis. The concessionaire at the end of the
concession period transfers the road back to the Government. The concessionaire’s investment in the road is recovered
113
directly through user fees by way of tolls.
In annuity projects, the private entity is required to meet the entire upfront cost (no grant is paid by NHAI/GoI) and the
expenditure on annual maintenance. The concessionaire recovers the entire investment and predetermined return on
investments through annuity payments by NHAI/GoI.
Tax incentives which are being provided to the private entity are 100% tax exemption for any consecutive ten years out of
the first 20 years after completion of a project. The Government has also allowed duty free import of specified modern
high capacity equipment for highway construction.
Other Laws
The laws above are specific to the regulations specifically applicable to an operating business. The generic regulations
that are applicable to our Company include environmental laws, labour laws and other applicable laws.
Environment Regulation
Infrastructure projects must also ensure compliance with environmental legislation such as the Water (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act 1974 (“Water Pollution Act”), the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 (“Air
Pollution Act”) and the Environment Protection Act, 1986 (“Environment Act”).
The Water Pollution Act aims to prevent and control water pollution. This legislation provides for the constitution of a
Central Pollution Control Board and State Pollution Control Boards. The functions of the Central Pollution Control Board
include, inter alia, coordination of activities of the State Pollution Control Boards, collecting data relating to water
pollution and the measures for the prevention and control of water pollution and prescription of standards for streams or
wells. The State Pollution Control Boards are responsible for, inter alia, the planning for programmes for prevention and
control of pollution of streams and wells, collecting and disseminating information relating to water pollution and its
prevention and control, inspection of sewage or trade effluents, works and plants for their treatment and to review the
specifications and data relating to plants set up for treatment and purification of water, laying down or annulling the
effluent standards for trade effluents and for the quality of the receiving waters, and laying down standards for treatment
of trade effluents to be discharged. This legislation prohibits any person from establishing any industry, operation or
process or any treatment and disposal system, which is likely to discharge trade effluent into a stream, well or sewer, or
bring into use any new or altered outlet for discharge of sewage, or being to make any new discharge of sewage without
taking prior consent of the State Pollution Control Board.
The Central and State Pollution Control Boards constituted under the Water Pollution Act are also to perform functions as
per the Air Pollution Act for the prevention and control of air pollution. The Air Pollution Act aims for the prevention,
control and abatement of air pollution. It is mandated under this Act that no person can, without the previous consent of
the State Pollution Control Board, establish or operate any industrial plant in an air pollution control area as notified by
the State Government.
The Environment Act has been enacted for the protection and improvement of the environment. The Act empowers the
GoI to take measures to protect and improve the environment such as by laying down standards for emission or discharge
of pollutants, providing for restrictions regarding areas where industries may operate and so on. The GoI may make rules
for regulating environmental pollution.
With respect to forest conservation, the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 prevents state governments from making any
order directing that any forest land be used for a non-forest purpose or that any forest land is assigned through lease or
otherwise to any private person or corporation not owned or controlled by the Government without the approval of the
GoI. The Ministry of Environment and Forests mandates that Environment Impact Assessment (“EIA”) must be
conducted for projects. In the process, the Ministry receives proposals for the setting up of projects and assesses their
impact on the environment before granting clearances to the projects.
The EIA Notification S.O. 1533, issued on September 14, 2006 (the “EIA Notification”) under the provisions of the
Environment Act, prescribes that new construction projects require prior environmental clearance from the MoEF. The
environmental clearance must be obtained from the MoEF according to the procedure specified in the EIA Notification.
No construction work, preliminary or other, relating to the setting up of a project can be undertaken until such clearance is
obtained. Under the EIA Notification, the environmental clearance process for new projects consists of four stages –
114
screening, scoping, public consultation and appraisal. After completion of public consultation, the applicant is required to
make appropriate changes in the draft ‘EIA Report’ and the ‘Environment Management Plan.’ The final EIA Report has
to be submitted to the concerned regulatory authority for appraisal. The regulatory authority is required to given its
decision within 105 days of the receipt of the final EIA Report.
Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008
The Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989, as amended, impose an obligation on each occupier and
operator of any facility generating hazardous waste to dispose of such hazardous wastes properly and also imposes
obligations in respect of the collection, treatment and storage of hazardous wastes. Each occupier and operator of any
facility generating, processing, treating, packaging, storing, using, collecting, offering for sale converting or transferring
hazardous waste is required to obtain an approval from the relevant state pollution control board for collecting, storing
and treating the hazardous waste.
Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991
The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, as amended (“Public Liability Act”), imposes liability on the owner or
controller of hazardous substances for any damage arising out of an accident involving such hazardous substances. A list
of ‘hazardous substances’ covered by the legislation has been enumerated by the Government by way of a notification.
The owner or handler is also required to take out an insurance policy insuring against liability under the legislation. The
rules made under the Public Liability Act mandate that the employer has to contribute towards the Environment Relief
Fund, a sum equal to the premium paid on the insurance policies. This amount is payable to the insurer.
Laws relating to Employment
Certain other laws and regulations that may be applicable to our Company include the following:
Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition)Act, 1970;
The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979;
Factories Act, 1948;

THE SECURITIES MARKET OF INDIA
The information in this section has been extracted from documents available on the website of SEBI and the Stock
Exchanges and has not been prepared or independently verified by the Company or the Book Running Lead Managers
or its affiliates or advisors.
The Indian Securities Market
India has a long history of organised securities trading. In 1875, the first stock exchange was established in Mumbai.
BSE and NSE together hold a dominant position among the stock exchanges in terms of the number of listed
companies, market capitalisation and trading activity.
Stock Exchange Regulation
Indian stock exchanges are regulated primarily by SEBI, as well as by the Government acting through the Ministry of
Finance, Capital Markets Division, under the SCRA, the SCRR, the SEBI Act, the Depositories Act, the Companies Act
and various rules and regulations framed thereunder.
On June 20, 2012, SEBI, in exercise of its powers under the SCRA and the SEBI Act, notified the SCR (SECC) Rules,
which regulate inter alia the recognition, ownership and internal governance of stock exchanges and clearing
corporations in India together with providing for minimum capitalisation requirements for stock exchanges. The SCRA,
the SCRR and the SCR (SECC) Rules along with various rules, bye-laws and regulations of the respective stock
exchanges, regulate the recognition of stock exchanges, the qualifications for membership thereof and the manner, in
which contracts are entered into, settled and enforced between members of the stock exchanges.
The SEBI Act empowers SEBI to promote, develop and regulate the Indian securities markets, including stock
exchanges and intermediaries in the capital markets, to protect the interests of investors, promote and monitor
self-regulatory organisations and prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade practices and insider trading and to regulate
substantial acquisitions of shares and takeovers of companies. SEBI has also issued regulations concerning minimum
disclosure requirements by public companies, rules and regulations concerning investor protection, insider trading,
substantial acquisitions of shares and takeover of companies, buy-backs of securities, delisting of securities, employee
stock option schemes, stockbrokers, merchant bankers, underwriters, mutual funds, foreign institutional investors, credit
rating agencies and other capital market participants.
Listing of Securities
The listing of securities on a recognised Indian stock exchange is regulated by the applicable Indian laws including the
Companies Act, the SCRA, the SCRR, the SEBI Act and various guidelines and regulations issued by the SEBI and the
listing agreements of the respective stock exchanges. The SCRA empowers the governing body of each recognised
stock exchange to suspend trading of or withdraw admission to dealings in a listed security for breach of or non-
compliance with any conditions or breach of company’s obligations under such listing agreement or for any reason,
subject to the issuer receiving prior written notice of the intent of the exchange and upon granting of a hearing in the
matter. SEBI also has the power to amend such equity listing agreements and bye-laws of the stock exchanges in India,
to overrule a stock exchange’s governing body and withdraw recognition of a recognised stock exchange.
Delising of Securities
SEBI has notified the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2009 in relation
to the voluntary and compulsory delisting of equity shares from the stock exchanges. In addition, certain amendments to
the SCRR have also been notified in relation to delisting.
Minimum Level of Public Shareholding
All listed companies are required to maintain a minimum public shareholding of 25% and were given a period of three
years to comply with such requirement. In this regard, SEBI has amended the listing agreement and has provided several
mechanisms to comply with this requirement. Further, where the public shareholding in a listed company falls below 25%
at any time, such company is required to bring the public shareholding to 25% within a maximum period of 12 months
from the date of such fall. Consequently, a listed company may be delisted from the stock exchanges for not complying
146
with the above-mentioned requirement. Our Company is in compliance with this minimum public shareholding
requirement.
Index-Based Market-Wide Circuit Breaker System
In order to restrict abnormal price volatility in any particular stock, the SEBI has instructed stock exchanges to apply
daily circuit breakers which do not allow transactions beyond a certain level of price volatility. The index- based
market-wide circuit breaker system (equity and equity derivatives) applies at three stages of the index movement, at
10%, 15% and 20%. These circuit breakers, when triggered, bring about a co-ordinated trading halt in all equity and
equity derivative markets nationwide. The market-wide circuit breakers are triggered by movement of either the
SENSEX of BSE or the CNX NIFTY of NSE, whichever is breached earlier.
In addition to the market-wide index-based circuit breakers, there are currently in place individual scrip-wise price
bands of 20% movements either up or down. However, no price bands are applicable on scrips on which derivative
products are available or scrips included in indices on which derivative products are available.
The stock exchanges in India can also exercise the power to suspend trading during periods of market volatility. Margin
requirements are imposed by stock exchanges that are required to be paid by the stockbrokers.
BSE
Established in 1875, the BSE is the oldest stock exchange in India. In 1956, it became the first stock exchange in India to
obtain permanent recognition from the Government under the SCRA.
NSE
The NSE was established by financial institutions and banks to provide nationwide online, satellite-linked, screen-based
trading facilities with market-makers and electronic clearing and settlement for securities including government
securities, debentures, public sector bonds and units. The NSE was recognised as a stock exchange under the SCRA in
April 1993 and commenced operations in the wholesale debt market segment in June 1994. The capital market (equities)
segment commenced operations in November 1994 and operations in the derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
The NSE launched the NSE 50 Index, now known as S&P CNX NIFTY, on April 22, 1996 and the Mid-cap Index on
January 1, 1996.
Internet trading takes place through order routing systems, which route client orders to exchange trading systems for
execution. Stockbrokers interested in providing this service are required to apply for permission to the relevant stock
exchange and also have to comply with certain minimum conditions stipulated by SEBI. NSE became the first exchange
to grant approval to its members for providing internet-based trading services. Internet trading is possible on both the
“equities” as well as the “derivatives” segments of NSE.
Trading Hours
Trading on both the NSE and the BSE occurs from Monday to Friday, between 9:15 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. IST (excluding the
15 minutes pre-open session from 9:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. that has been introduced recently). The NSE and the BSE are
closed on public holidays. The recognised stock exchanges have been permitted to set their own trading hours (in the cash
and derivatives segments) subject to the condition that (i) the trading hours are between 9.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m.; and (ii)
the stock exchange has in place a risk management system and infrastructure commensurate to the trading hours.
Trading Procedure
In order to facilitate smooth transactions, the BSE replaced its open outcry system with BSE On-line Trading facility in
1995. This totally automated screen based trading in securities was put into practice nation-wide. This has enhanced
transparency in dealings and has assisted considerably in smoothening settlement cycles and improving efficiency in
back-office work.
NSE has introduced a fully automated trading system called NEAT, which operates on strict time/price priority besides
enabling efficient trade. NEAT has provided depth in the market by enabling large number of members all over India to
trade simultaneously, narrowing the spreads.
Takeover Regulations
147
Disclosure and mandatory bid obligations for listed Indian companies are governed by the Takeover Regulations which
provide specific regulations in relation to substantial acquisition of shares and takeover. Once the equity shares of a
company are listed on a stock exchange in India, the provisions of the Takeover Regulations will apply to any
acquisition of the company’s shares/voting rights/control. The Takeover Regulations prescribe certain thresholds or
trigger points in the shareholding a person or entity has in the listed Indian company, which give rise to certain
obligations on part of the acquirer. Acquisitions up to a certain threshold prescribed under the Takeover Regulations
mandate specific disclosure requirements, while acquisitions crossing particular thresholds may result in the acquirer
having to make an open offer of the shares of the target company. The Takeover Regulations also provide for the
possibility of indirect acquisitions, imposing specific obligations on the acquirer in case of such indirect acquisition.
Insider Trading Regulations
The SEBI Insider Trading Regulations have been notified to prohibit and penalise insider trading in India. An insider is,
among other things, prohibited from dealing in the securities of a listed company when in possession of unpublished
price sensitive information.
The SEBI Insider Trading Regulations also provide disclosure obligations for shareholders holding more than a
pre-defined percentage, and directors and officers, with respect to their shareholding in the company, and the changes
therein. The definition of “insider” includes any person who has received or has had access to unpublished price
sensitive information in relation to securities of a company or any person reasonably expected to have access to
unpublished price sensitive information in relation to securities of a company and who is or was connected with the
company or is deemed to have been connected with the company.
Depositories
The Depositories Act provides a legal framework for the establishment of depositories to record ownership details and
effect transfer in book-entry form. Further, SEBI framed regulations in relation to the registration of such depositories,
the registration of participants as well as the rights and obligations of the depositories, participants, companies and
beneficial owners. The depository system has significantly improved the operation of the Indian securities markets.
Derivatives (Futures and Options)
Trading in derivatives is governed by the SCRA, the SCRR and the SEBI Act. The SCRA was amended in February
2000 and derivatives contracts were included within the term “securities”, as defined by the SCRA. Trading in
derivatives in India takes place either on separate and independent derivatives exchanges or on a separate segment of an
existing stock exchange. The derivatives exchange or derivatives segment of a stock exchange functions as a
self-regulatory organisation under the supervision of the SEBI.
148
DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUITY SHARES
The following is information relating to the Equity Shares including a brief summary of some of the provisions of the
Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Companies Act. Prospective investors are urged to read the
Memorandum and Articles of Association carefully, and consult with their advisers, as the Memorandum and Articles
of Association and applicable Indian law, and not this summary, govern the rights attached to the Equity Shares.
General
Our authorised share capital is ₹ 500 million consisting of 30,000,000 Equity Shares of ₹ 10 each and 20,000,000, 1%
redeemable non-cumulative preference shares of ₹ 10 each.
As of the date of this Preliminary Placement Document, the outstanding paid-up equity share capital of the Company is
₹ 220.92 million.
Articles of Association
The Company is governed by our Articles of Association.
Dividends
Under Indian law, a company pays dividends upon a recommendation by its board of directors and approval by a
majority of the shareholders at the AGM held each fiscal year. Under the Companies Act, unless the board of directors
of a company recommends the payment of a dividend, the shareholders at a general meeting have no power to declare
any dividend. Subject to certain conditions laid down by Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013, and rules made
thereunder, no dividend can be declared or paid by a company for any fiscal year except (a) out of the profits of the
company for that year, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act or (b) out of the profits of the
company for any previous fiscal year(s) arrived at in accordance with the Companies Act 2013 and remaining
undistributed or (c) out of both; or (d) out of money provided by the Central Government or a state Government for
payment of dividend by the Company in pursuance of a guarantee given by that Government.
According to the Articles of Association, the Board may before recommending dividend set apart out of the profits of
the Company such sums as it thinks prudent as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Board, be
applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied including provision for
meeting contingencies or for equalizing dividends and pending such application, at the discretion of the Company either
be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments including securities issued by
companies or banks (other than the shares of the Company) as the Board may from time to time, think fit.
The Equity Shares issued pursuant to this Preliminary Placement Document shall rank pari passu with the existing
Equity Shares in all respects including entitlements to any dividends that may be declared by the Company.
Capitalisation of Reserves
In addition to permitting dividends to be paid out of current or retained earnings as described above, the Companies Act
permits the board of directors, if so approved by the shareholders in a general meeting, to distribute an amount
transferred in the free reserves, the securities premium account or the capital redemption reserve account to its
shareholders, in the form of fully paid up bonus equity shares, which are similar to stock dividend. These bonus equity
shares must be distributed to shareholders in proportion to the number of equity shares owned by them as recommended
by the board of directors. No issue of bonus shares may be made by capitalising reserves created by revaluation of
assets. Further, any issue of bonus shares would be subject to SEBI Regulations.
As per the Articles of Association, the Board may at the meeting of the Board resolve that any amount standing to the
credit of the Share Premium Account or the Capital Redemption Reserve Account or any money forming part of the
undivided profits (including profits or surplus monies arising from the realization of any capital assets of the Company)
standing to the credit of the General Reserve, Reserve or any Reserve Fund or any other fund of the Company or in the
hands of the Company and available for dividend may be capitalized.
149
Pre-Emptive Rights and Alteration of Capital
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Company may increase its share capital by issuing new shares on
such terms and with such rights as it may determine. According to Section 62 of the Companies Act, 2013 such new
shares shall be offered to existing shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up on those shares at that date. The
offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered and the date (being not less than 15 days and not
exceeding 30 days from the date of the offer) within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to have been
declined. After such date the Board may dispose of the shares offered in respect of which no acceptance has been
received which shall not be disadvantageous to the shareholders of the Company. The offer is deemed to include a right
exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the shares offered to him in favour of any other person subject to the
provisions of FEMA 20, if applicable.
Under the provisions of Section 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, new shares may be offered to any persons
whether or not those persons include existing shareholders, either for cash of for a consideration other than cash, if the
price of such shares is determined by the valuation report of a registered valuer subject to condition prescribed under the
Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, if a special resolution to that effect is passed by the Company’s
shareholders in a general meeting.
The Articles of Association authorises the Company to issue and allot shares at par or at a premium subject to and in

There are two types of general meetings of the shareholders, AGM and EGM.
The Company must hold its AGM in each fiscal year provided that not more than 15 months shall elapse between each
AGM, unless extended by the RoC at its request for any special reason for a period not exceeding three months. The
Board of Directors may convene an EGM when necessary or at the request of a shareholder or shareholders holding in
the aggregate not less than one tenth of the Company’s issued paid up capital (carrying a right to vote in respect of the
relevant matter on the date of receipt of the requisition).
Notices, either in writing or through electronic mode, convening a meeting setting out the date, day, hour, place and
agenda of the meeting must be given to members at least 21 clear days prior to the date of the proposed meeting. A
general meeting may be called after giving shorter notice if consent is received, in writing or electronic mode, from not
less than 95 % of the shareholders entitled to vote. In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company,
5(five) members must be personally present for quorum of any general meeting. The quorum requirements applicable to
shareholder meetings under the Companies Act have to be physically complied with.
A company intending to pass a resolution relating to matters such as, but not limited to, amendment in the objects clause
of the Memorandum, the issuing of shares with different voting or dividend rights, a variation of the rights attached to a
class of shares or debentures or other securities, buy-back of shares, giving loans or extending guarantees in excess of
limits prescribed, is required to obtain the resolution passed by means of a postal ballot instead of transacting the
business in the Company’s general meeting. A notice to all the shareholders shall be sent along with a draft resolution
explaining the reasons therefore and requesting them to send their assent or dissent in writing on a postal ballot within a
period of 30 days from the date of posting the letter. Postal ballot includes voting by electronic mode.
Voting Rights
At a general meeting, upon a show of hands, every member holding shares and entitled to vote and present in person has
one vote. Upon a poll, the voting rights of each shareholder entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy is in the
same proportion as the capital paid up on each share held by such holder bears to the Company’s total paid up capital.
Voting is by a show of hands, unless a poll is ordered by the Chairman of the meeting or voting is carried out
electronically. The Chairman of the meeting has a casting vote.
Ordinary resolutions may be passed by simple majority of those present and voting and those voting electronically.
Special resolutions require that the votes cast in favour of the resolution must be at least three times the votes cast
against the resolution.
A shareholder may exercise his voting rights by proxy to be given in the form required by the Articles of Association.
150
The instrument appointing a proxy is required to be lodged with the Company at least 48 hours before the time of the
meeting. A proxy may not vote except on a poll and does not have the right to speak at meetings.
Transfer of shares
Shares held through depositories are transferred in the form of book entries or in electronic form in accordance with the
regulations laid down by the SEBI. These provisions provide the regime for the functioning of the depositories and the
participants and set out the manner in which the records are to be kept and maintained and the safeguards to be followed
in this system. Transfers of beneficial ownership of shares held through a depository are exempt from stamp duty. We
have entered into an agreement for such depository services with the National Securities Depository Limited and the
Central Depository Services India Limited. SEBI requires that our shares for trading and settlement purposes be in
book-entry form for all investors, except for transactions that are not made on a stock exchange and transactions that are
not required to be reported to the stock exchange. The registrar and transfer agent shall keep a book in which every
transfer or transmission of shares will be entered.
Pursuant to the Listing Agreement, in the event we have not effected the transfer of shares within fifteen days or where
we have failed to communicate to the transferee any valid objection to the transfer within the stipulated time period of
fifteen days, it is required to compensate the aggrieved party for the opportunity loss caused during the period of the
delay. The Equity Shares shall be freely transferable, subject to applicable laws. If the Company refuses to register the
transfer of any share or transmission of any right therein, notice of such refusal must be sent to the transferee within one
month from the date on which the instrument of transfer or intimation of transmission was lodged with the Company.

Levy of Income Tax
As per the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (“Act”) taxation of a person is dependent on its tax
residential status. The Indian tax year i.e. financial year (“FY”) runs from April 1 to March 31.
In general, in the case of a person who is "resident'' in India in a tax year, its global income is subject to tax in
India. In the case of a person who is "non-resident'' in India, only the income that is received or deemed to be
received or that accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to such person in India is subject to tax in India.
In the instant case, the income from the Equity Shares of the Company would be considered to accrue or arise
in India, and would be taxable in the hands of all persons irrespective of residential status. However, relief may
be available under applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”) to certain non-residents.
An individual is considered to be a resident of India during any financial year if he or she is in India in that
year for:
A period or periods amounting to 182 days or more; or
60 days or more if within the 4 preceding years, he/she has been in India for a period or periods amounting
to 365 days or more; or
182 days or more, in the case of a citizen of India or a person of Indian origin living abroad who visits
India; or
182 days or more, in the case of a citizen of India who leaves India for the purposes of employment outside
India in any tax year.
A Hindu Undivided Family (“HUF”), firm or other association of persons (“AOP”) is resident in India
except where the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly outside India.
A “company” is resident in India if it is formed and registered in accordance with the Indian Companies Act or
if the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly in India in a tax year.
A “Non-Resident” means a person who is not a resident in India.
A person is said to be not ordinarily resident in India in any tax year if such person is:
an individual and a non-resident in India in 9 out of the 10 tax years preceding that year, or has during the
7 tax years preceding that year been in India for a period of, or periods amounting in all to, 729 or less; or
a HUF whose manager has been a non-resident in India in 9 out of the 10 tax years preceding that year, or
has during the 7 tax years preceding that year been in India for a period of, or periods amounting in all to,
729 or less.
As per the taxation laws in force, the tax benefits / consequences, as applicable, to the Company and its Equity

reduction more than once.

owing to the profits or gains chargeable to tax being less than depreciation allowance, then, subject to the
provisions of section 72(2) of the Act, depreciation allowance or the part of depreciation allowance to
which effect has not been given, as the case may be, shall be added to the amount of the depreciation

asset, exceeds the written down value of block of assets and actual cost of assets acquired during the
year, the excess is deemed to be short term capital gains and subject to tax. Expenditure incurred
wholly or exclusively in connection with transfer can be reduced while computing the full value of
consideration
In a situation where the transfer is such that all the assets in that block are transferred and the block of

(“MAT”) paid under section 115JB of the Act for any FY commencing on 1 April 2005 and any
subsequent FYs. Credit eligible for carry forward is the difference between MAT paid and the tax

between the tax under the normal provisions of the Act and tax payable under MAT for that year. Credit in
respect of MAT shall be available for set-off up to 10 FYs immediately succeeding the FY for which the
MAT credit initially arose.
1.11 Capital Gains
1.11.1 Capital assets may be categorised into short term capital assets and long term capital assets, based on the
period of holding. Securities (other than units) listed on recognized stock exchanges in India or units of the
Unit Trust of India or a unit of equity oriented mutual fund or zero coupon bonds will be considered as
long-term capital assets if they are held for a period exceeding 12 months. In respect of any other capital

1.11.2 Under section 10(38) of the Act, long term capital gains arising to a shareholder on transfer of shares in the
company or units of an equity oriented fund or a unit of a business trust are exempt from tax, where the sale

1.11.3 Section 48 of the Act, which prescribes the mode of computation of capital gains, provides for deduction of
cost of acquisition / improvement and expenses incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with the
transfer of a capital asset from the sale consideration to arrive at the amount of capital gains. However,

156
indexed cost of acquisition / improvement, thereby adjusting the cost of acquisition / improvement by a
cost inflation index (“CII”), as prescribed. Indexed cost of acquisition means the cost of acquisition
multiplied by CII of the FY in which the asset is transferred and divided by the CII of the FY during which
the asset was first held by the tax payer.
1.11.4 Under section 112 of the Act, long term capital gains, [other than those exempt under section 10(38) of the
Act] arising on transfer of listed Equity Shares in the company, would be subject to tax at a rate of 20%

Equity Shares are transferred and in the subsequent financial year cannot exceed Rs.5,000,000 per
assessee.
If only part of the capital gain is so reinvested, the exemption available shall be in the same proportion as
the cost of long term specified assets bears to the whole of the capital gain.
However, in case the long term specified asset is transferred or converted into money within 3 years from
the date of its acquisition, the amount so exempted shall be chargeable to tax during the year of such
transfer or conversion.

oriented mutual funds as specified in section 10(23D) of the Act or units of a business trust in the Company

income for the same year, it shall be eligible to be carried forward and available for set off only against
income from business under head “Profits and Gains of Business or Profession” for subsequent years. As
per section 72(3) of the Act, the loss so carried forward can be set off subject to a limit of 8 FYs
immediately succeeding the FY for which the loss was first computed. However, as per section 80 of the
Act, only a loss which has been determined in pursuance of a return filed within the due date in accordance
with the provisions of section 139(3) of the Act shall be carried forward and set off under section 72(1) of
the Act.

for more than 12 months are considered as "long term capital gains". Capital gains arising on sale of said
assets held for 12 months or less are considered as "short term capital gains".
3.2.2. Under section 10(38) of the Act, long term capital gains arising to a shareholder on transfer of Equity
Shares in the Company are exempt from tax, where the sale transaction has been entered into on a
recognized stock exchange of India and STT has been paid on the same. However, in case of shareholder
being a company and liable to MAT in India, profits on transfer of above referred long term capital asset
shall not be reduced in computing the “book profits” for the purposes of computation of MAT under
section 115 JB of the Act.
3.2.3. As per the amendment to Chapter VII of Finance Act (No 2) of 2004, sale of unlisted Equity Shares under
an offer for sale to the public which are included in an initial public offer and where such shares are
subsequently listed on a recognized stock exchange, the same would be covered within the ambit of
taxable securities transaction under the aforesaid Chapter. Accordingly, STT is leviable on sale of shares
under an offer for sale to the public in an initial public offer and the long term capital gains arising on
transfer of such shares would be exempt from tax as per provisions of section 10(38) of the Act.
3.2.4. Long term capital gains, not exempt under section 10(38), are to be computed in accordance with the first
proviso to section 48 of the Act, where listed securities were acquired in foreign currency by non-resident.
The capital gains arising on such a transfer need to be computed by converting the cost of acquisition,
expenditure incurred in connection with such transfer and full value of the consideration received or
accruing as a result of the transfer, into the same foreign currency in which the shares were originally
purchased. The resultant gains thereafter need to be reconverted into Indian currency. All the conversion
needs to be at the prescribed rates prevailing on dates stipulated.
Under section 112 of the Act, long term capital gains [other than those exempt under section 10(38) of the
Act] computed in accordance with the first proviso to section 48 of the Act, would be subject to tax at the
rate of 20 %(plus applicable surcharge and education cess). However, where Equity Shares of the
Company are not acquired in foreign currency, the long term capital gains would be subject to tax at the
rate of 20 % with indexation benefit.
3.2.5. Under section 54EC of the Act and subject to the conditions specified therein, long term capital gains
arising on the transfer of Equity Shares of the Company would be exempt from tax if such capital gains is
invested within 6 months after the date of such transfer in specified assets, being bonds issued by (to the
extent permitted under prevalent laws):
a) National Highway Authority of India constituted under section 3 of The National Highway Authority
of India Act, 1988;
b) Rural Electrification Corporation Limited, the company formed and registered under the Companies
Act, 1956.
The investment made in such bonds out of the above capital gains, during the financial year in which the
Equity Shares are transferred and in the subsequent financial year cannot exceed Rs.5,000,000 per
assessee.
If only part of the capital gain is so reinvested, the exemption available shall be in the same proportion as
the cost of long term specified assets bears to the whole of the capital gain. However, in case the long term
specified asset is transferred or converted into money within 3 years from the date of its acquisition, the
amount so exempted shall be chargeable to tax during the year of such transfer or conversion.
161
Since long term capital gains arising under section 10(38) of the Act are not taxable, there is no
requirement for making investment under section 54EC of the Act in such cases.
3.2.6. Under section 54F of the Act and subject to the conditions specified therein, long term capital gains arising
to an individual or a HUF on transfer of Equity Shares of the Company will be exempt from capital gains
tax subject to certain conditions, if the net consideration from transfer of such shares are used for purchase
of one residential house property within a period of 1 year before or 2 years after the date on which the
transfer took place or for construction of residential house property within a period of 3 years after the date
of such transfer.
Since long term capital gains arising under section 10(38) of the Act are not taxable, there is no
requirement for making investment under section 54F of the Act in such cases.
3.2.7. Under section 14A of the Act read with Rule 8D of the Rules, expenditure incurred to earn an exempt
income is not allowed as deduction while determining taxable income. The quantum of such expenditure
liable for disallowance is to be computed in accordance with the provisions contained therein.
3.2.8. Under section 111A of the Act, short term capital gains arising on transfer of Equity Share in the Company
would be taxable at 15 % (plus applicable surcharge and education cess) where such transaction of sale is
entered on a recognized stock exchange in India and STT has been paid on the same. Short term capital
gains arising from transfer of Equity Shares in the Company, other than those covered by section 111A of
the Act, would be subject to tax under the normal provisions of the Act
3.2.9. In case of foreign corporate taxpayers, the tax rates mentioned above are to be increased by surcharge as
under:
Taxable income Rate of Surcharge
0 – Rs. 10,000,000 0 %
Rs. 10,000,001 – Rs. 100,000,000 2%
Rs. 100,000,001 and above 5%
3.2.10. Further, in case of foreign non-corporate taxpayer, where the taxable income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs.
10,000,000, the tax rates mentioned above are increased by a surcharge at the rate of 10%.
3.2.11. Additionally, education cess and secondary and higher education cess on the tax on total income and
surcharge at the rate of 2% and 1% respectively is payable by all categories of taxpayers.
3.3. Business Profits
3.3.1. Where the Equity Shares form part of stock-in-trade, any income realized from disposition of the Equity
Shares will be chargeable under the head “Profit and gains of business or profession” as per the provisions
of the Act.
3.3.2. Please note that the characterization of the gains/losses, arising from sale of Equity Shares, as capital gains
or business income would depend on the nature of holding in the hands of the shareholder and various
factors connected with the facts of the same. The nature of the Equity Shares held by the shareholder (i.e.
whether held as ‘investment’ or as ‘stock-in-trade’) is usually determined inter-alia on the basis of the
substantial nature of the transactions, the manner of maintaining books of account, the magnitude of
purchases and sales and the ratio between purchases and sales and the holding period.
3.3.3. As per section 36(1)(xv) of the Act, an amount equal to the STT paid by the assessee in respect of
the taxable securities transactions entered into in the course of his business during the tax year will be
162
allowable as deduction, if the income arising from such taxable securities transactions is included in the
income computed under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession”.
3.4. As per section 90(2) of the Act, provisions of the DTAA between India and the country of
residence of the non-resident would prevail over the provisions of the Act, to the extent they are more
beneficial to the non-resident. As per the amendment introduced by Finance Act, 2012, section 90(4) has
been inserted which provides that an assessee being a non-resident, shall not be entitled to claim any relief
under section 90(2) unless a certificate containing such particulars as may be prescribed, of his being a
resident in any country outside India, is obtained by him from the Government of that country or any
specified territory.
In other words, the tax payers shall be entitled to be governed by the provisions of the DTAA only when
they obtain a tax residency certificate (containing particulars as prescribed in Form 10F) from the
Government of the country of residence of such non-resident tax payer.
3.5. Special benefit available to Non-resident Indian Shareholders
Where Equity Shares of the Company have been subscribed by Non-Resident Indians
(“NRI”) i.e. an individual being a citizen of India or person of Indian origin who is not a resident, in
convertible foreign exchange, they have the option of being governed by the provisions of Chapter XIIA of
the Act, which inter alia entitles them to the following benefits:
3.5.1. Under section 115E of the Act, where the total income of a NRI includes capital gains arising from the
transfer of long term capital asset, being Equity Shares in the Company subscribed in convertible foreign
exchange, such capital gains shall be taxed at a concessional rate of 10 % (plus applicable surcharge and
education cess). The benefit of indexation would not be available.
3.5.2. Under provisions of section 115F of the Act, any long term capital gains arising from the transfer of a
foreign exchange asset arising to a NRI shall be exempt from tax if the entire net consideration is
reinvested in specified assets within 6 months of the date of the transfer. If only a part of the net
consideration is reinvested, the exemption shall be proportionately reduced. The amount so exempted shall
be chargeable to tax as “capital gains” subsequently, if the specified assets are transferred or converted into
money within 3 years from the date of their acquisition. The taxability shall arise in the year in which the
transfer or conversion, as the case may be, takes place.
3.5.3. Under the provisions of section 115G of the Act, NRI’s are not required to file a return of income under
section 139(1) of the Act, if the income chargeable under the Act consists of only investment income or
capital gains arising from the transfer of specified long term capital asset or both; arising out of assets
acquired, purchased or subscribed in convertible foreign exchange and provided tax deductible at source
has been deducted there from as per the provisions of Chapter XVII-B of the Act.
3.5.4. Under section 115H of the Act, where a person who is NRI in any tax year, becomes assessable as resident
in India in respect of total income of any subsequent year, the provisions of Chapter XII-A shall continue
to apply to him in relation to the investment income derived from any foreign exchange asset being an
assets specified under sub clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of section 115(C)(f) for that AY and for every
subsequent AY until there is transfer or conversion of such asset. For this provision to apply, NRI is
required to file a declaration along with his return of income for the AY in which he becomes assessable as
resident in India
3.5.5. Under section 115I of the Act, where a NRI opts not to be governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A for
any AY, his total income for that AY (including income arising from investment in the Company) will be
computed and tax will be charged according to the other provisions of the Act.

4 BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO A FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR (“FII”) UNDER THE
ACT
Special Tax Benefits
As per Section 2(14) of the Act, capital asset includes
any securities held by a FII which has invested in securities in accordance with SEBI regulations. Hence,
income earned by FII from transfer of such securities is taxable under the head “Income from Capital Gains”
only.
There are no special tax benefits available to the FII with regards to the investment made in the shares of
the Company. However, the shareholders are entitled to the general tax benefits which are discussed herein
below.
General Tax Benefits
4.1. Under section 10(34) of the Act, income by way of “dividends” received on the Equity Shares of the
Company is exempt from income tax in the hands of shareholders. However, the Company will be liable
to pay DDT at 15 % (plus applicable surcharge and education cess) on the total amount distributed as
dividends. As a result, no taxability arises in the hands of the shareholders in respect of dividends received
from the Indian Company. No deduction is permitted in respect of expenditure incurred by any person in
relation to income which is not chargeable to tax. The expenditure relatable to “exempt income” need to
be determined in accordance with the provisions specified in section 14A of the Act read with Rule 8D of
the Rules.
4.2. Capital gains
.
4.2.1. Capital assets may be categorized into short term capital assets and long term capital assets, based on the
period of holding. Equity Shares held in the Company will be considered as long term capital assets if they
are held for a period exceeding 12 months. Consequently, capital gains arising on sale of such assets held
for more than 12 months are considered as "long term capital gains". Capital gains arising on sale of said
assets held for 12 months or less are considered as "short term capital gains".
4.2.2. Under section 10(38) of the Act, long term capital gains arising to a shareholder on transfer of Equity
Shares in the Company are exempt from tax, where the sale transaction has been entered into on a
recognized stock exchange of India and STT has been paid on the same.
4.2.3. Under section 14A of the Act, expenditure incurred to earn an exempt income is not allowed as deduction
while determining taxable income. The quantum of such expenditure liable for disallowance is to be
computed in accordance with the provisions contained therein.
4.2.4. Under section 54EC of the Act and subject to the conditions specified therein, long term capital
gains arising on the transfer of Equity Shares of the Company would be exempt from tax if such capital
gains is invested within 6 months after the date of such transfer in specified assets, being bonds issued by
(to the extent permitted under prevalent laws):
a) National Highway Authority of India constituted under section 3 of The National Highway Authority
of India Act, 1988;
b) Rural Electrification Corporation Limited, the company formed and registered under the Companies
Act, 1956.
The investment made in such bonds out of the above capital gains, during the financial year in which the
Equity Shares are transferred and in the subsequent financial year cannot exceed Rs.5,000,000 per
assessee.
164
If only part of the capital gain is so reinvested, the exemption available shall be in the same proportion as
the cost of long term specified assets bears to the whole of the capital gain. However, in case the long term
specified asset is transferred or converted into money within 3 years from the date of its acquisition, the
amount so exempted shall be chargeable to tax during the year of such transfer or conversion.
Since long term capital gains arising under section 10(38) of the Act are not taxable, there is no
requirement for making investment under section 54EC of the Act in such cases.
4.2.5. Under section 115AD(1)(ii) of the Act, short term capital gains on transfer of Equity Shares shall be
chargeable at 30 % or 15 % (where such transaction of sale is entered on a recognized stock exchange in
India and STT has been paid on the same), as the case may be. The above rates are to be increased by
applicable surcharge and education cess.
Under section 115AD(1)(iii) of the Act, long term capital gains arising from the transfer of Equity Shares
(in cases not covered under section 10(38) of the Act) of a Company shall be taxable at 10 % (plus
applicable surcharge and education cess). It is to be noted that the benefits of indexation and foreign
currency fluctuations are not available to FIIs.

Taxable income Rate of Surcharge
0 – Rs. 10,000,000 0%

Rs. 100,000,001 and above 5%

the tax rates mentioned above are increased by a surcharge at the rate of 10%.
4.2.8. Additionally, education cess and secondary and higher education cess on the tax on total income and
surcharge at the rate of 2% and 1% respectively is payable by all categories of taxpayers.
4.2.9. As per section 90(2) of the Act, provisions of the DTAA between India and the country of residence of the
FII would prevail over the provisions of the Act to the extent they are more beneficial to the FII. Where FII
treat the income realized from disposition of Equity Shares as business profits and it does not have
permanent establishment in India, such income of FII may not be subject to tax in India. As per the
amendment introduced by Finance Act, 2012, section 90(4) has been inserted which provides that an
assessee being a non-resident, shall not be entitled to claim any relief under section 90(2) unless a
certificate containing such particulars as may be prescribed, of his being a resident in any country outside

In other words, the tax payers shall be entitled to be governed by the provisions of the DTAA only when
they obtain a tax residency certificate (containing particulars as may be prescribed in Form 10F) from the
Government of the country of residence of such non-resident tax payer.
4.3. Tax Deduction At Source

any, is withheld at source by the buyer in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act. However, no
deduction of tax is required to be made from any income by way of capital gains arising from the transfer

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

a. Principles of Consolidation (i) The consolidated financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard
(‘AS’) 21, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AS 23 on ‘Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements’ notified by the companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006 (as amended).
(ii) The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for the like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s separate financial statements.
(iii) The financial statement of the Company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line to line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating all intra group transactions, balances and unrealised surpluses and deficit on transactions (also refer point no. iv below) .
(iv) The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) contracts are governed by service concession agreements with government authorities (grantor). Under these agreements, the operator does not own the road, but gets “toll collection rights” against the construction services rendered. Since the construction revenue earned by the operator is considered as exchanged with the grantor against toll collection rights, profit from such contracts is considered as realized. Accordingly, BOT contracts awarded to group companies (operator), where the work is subcontracted to holding company, the intra group transactions on BOT contracts and profits arising thereon are taken as realised and not eliminated.
(v) The excess of the cost to the Company of its investment in a subsidiary companies over its share of the equity of the subsidiary companies at the dates on which the investment in the subsidiary companies are made, is recognised as ‘Goodwill’ being an asset in the consolidated financial statements and recognized separately as an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary companies as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of investment of the Company, it is recognised as ‘Capital Reserve’ and shown under the head ‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the consolidated financial statements.
(vi) Goodwill arising out of acquisition of subsidiary company is not amortized and is tested for impairment.
(vii) Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries is identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet separately from liabilities and equity of the company’s shareholders. Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries consists of :
(a) The amount of equity attributed to minority at the date on which investment in a subsidiary relationship came into existence.
(b) The minority share of movement in equity since the date parent subsidiary relationship came into existence.
(c) Minority interest share of net profit/(loss) of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the profit after tax of the group.
b. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting year. Key estimates include estimate of useful life of fixed assets, unbilled revenue, income tax and future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates will be recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.
c. Fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes, and
incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation up to the point the asset is ready for its intended use. Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, borrowing costs capitalized and other direct expenditure.
Intangible Assets Toll Collection Rights :-Intangibles are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Expenditure
related to and incurred during implementation of project are included under “Intangible Assets under Development”. The same

will be transferred to the respective intangible assets on completion of project. Intangible assets also includes software which are not integral part of the hardware are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Costs for toll collection rights awarded against construction service by the grantor on BOT basis include direct and indirect expenses on construction of roads, bridges, culverts etc. and infrastructure at the toll plazas.
d. Depreciation Depreciation on assets, other than pantoon, shuttering materials and truss, is provided on written down value method, pro
rata from the period of use of assets, at the rates stipulated in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Pantoon, shuttering material and truss are depreciated over the period of 5 years based on the management’s estimate of useful life of the asset. Individual assets costing less than ` 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year they are put to use. The cost of leasehold land is not amortised as these are perpetual lease.
Amortisation Toll Collection Rights are amortised over the period of concession, using revenue based amortisation as prescribed in the
Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Under this methodology, the carrying value of the rights is amortised in the proportion of actual toll revenue for the year to projected revenue for the balance toll period, to reflect the pattern in which the assets economic benefits will be consumed. At each balance sheet date, the projected revenue for the balance toll period is reviewed by the mangement. If there is any change in the projected revenue from previous estimates, the amortisation of toll collection rights is changed prospectively to reflect any changes in the estimates.
e. Impairment of assets The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/
external factors. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use.
f. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time
to get ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. Costs incurred in raising funds are amortised equally over the period for which the funds are acquired. Other borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it is accrued.
g. Investments Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments.
All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value determined on an individual investment basis.
h. Inventories Inventory of construction materials is stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on first-in-first-out basis.
i. Employee benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plan The Group makes contribution to statutory provident fund in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and Employee State Insurance Fund in accordance with Employees State Insurance Corporation Act, 1948 which are defined contribution plans and contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity is a post employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance
sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/ obligation is calculated at or near the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year to which such gains or losses relate.
(iii) Other employee benefits The employees of the company are also entitled for Leave availment and Encashment as per the company’s policy.
The liability for Leave Entitlement is provided on the basis of valuation, as at Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit method. Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

j. Revenue recognition (i) Revenue from construction contracts The Group follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of physical measurement of work actually completed
at the balance sheet date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue and total cost till completion of the contract and the profit so determined has been accounted for proportionate to the percentage of the actual work done. Unbilled work-in-progress related to project works is valued at cost or estimated net realisable value, whichever is lower, till such time the outcome of the related project is ascertained realibly and at contract rates thereafter. Foreseeable losses are accounted for as and when they are determined except to the extent they are expected to be recovered through claims presented.
(ii) Revenue from joint venture contracts a. Contracts executed in Joint Venture under work sharing arrangement (consortium) are accounted in accordance
with the accounting policy followed by the Group for an independent contract to the extent work is executed.
b. In respect of contracts executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under profit sharing arrangement, the services rendered to the Joint Ventures are accounted as income on accrual basis. The profit / loss is accounted for, as and when it is determined by the Joint Venture and the net investment in the Joint Venture is reflected as investments, loans and advances or current liabilities.
(iii) Income from Toll Contracts The net income from toll contracts on BOT basis are recognized on actual collection of toll revenue.
(iv) Dividend is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.
(v) Interest and other income are accounted for on accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt basis.
k. Leases Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as
operating leases. Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
l. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end rate. Gains or losses arising out of remittance/translations at the year-end are credited / debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss except in cases of long term foreign currency monetary items where they relate to acquisition of fixed assets in which case they are adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets.
m. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents for purpose of the cash flow statements comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term
investments with an orignal maturity of three months or less.
n. Resurfacing expenses Resurfacing costs are recognised and measured in accordance with AS 29 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets” i.e. at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at each balance sheet date.
o. Segment reporting Identification of segments The Group’s operating businesses are organised and managed separately taking into account the nature of the products, the
differing risks and returns, the organisation structure and internal reporting system.
Unallocated items Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
Segment accounting policies The Group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting
the financial statements of the company as a whole.
p. Taxation Provision for current tax is recognized based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and
exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between the financial statements’ carrying amounts of existing assets and
summAry of sIgnIfICAnt ACCountIngPolicies and other Explanatory Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2014
SUPREME INFRASTRUCTURE INDIA LIMITED 88
F - 13
liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet dates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in the future. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realization.Timing differences originating and reversing during the tax holiday period are not considered for the purposes of computing deferred tax assets and liabilities.
q. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r. Provisions and Contingent liabilities A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to thier present value and are determined based on management’s estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates. Provisions are recognized in the financial statements in respect of present probable obligations, for amounts which can be reliably estimated. Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2013
1 Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of Supreme Infrastructure India Limited (the ‘Company’), its subsidiary companies and associate have
been prepared to comply in all material respects with the notified Accounting Standards issued by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year.
Summary of Significant accounting policies
a. Principles of Consolidation (i) The consolidated financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 21,
‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AS 23 on ‘Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated FinancialStatements’ notified by the companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006 (as amended).
(ii) The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for the like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s separate financial statements.
(iii) The financial statement of the Company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated on a line to line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating all intra group transactions, balances and unrealised surpluses and deficit on transactions (also refer point no. iv below)
(iv) The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) contracts are governed by service concession agreements with government authorities (grantor). Under these agreements, the operator does not own the road, but gets “toll collection rights” against the construction services rendered. Since the construction revenue earned by the operator is considered as exchanged with the grantor against toll collection rights, profit from such contracts is considered as realized. Accordingly, BOT contracts awarded to group companies (operator), where the work is subcontracted to holding company, the intra group transactions on BOT contracts and profits arising thereon are taken as realised and not eliminated.
(v) The excess of the cost to the Company of its investment in a subsidiary companies over its share of the equity of the subsidiary companies at the dates on which the investment in the subsidiary companies are made, is recognised as ‘Goodwill’ being an asset in the consolidated financial statements and recognized separately as an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary companies as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of investment of the Company, it is recognised as ‘Capital Reserve’ and shown under the head ‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the consolidated financial statements.
(vi) Goodwill arising out of acquisition of subsidiary company is not amortized and is tested for impairment.
(vii) Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries is identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet separately from liabilities and equity of the company’s shareholders. Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries consists of :
a) The amount of equity attributed to minority at the date on which investment in a subsidiary relationship came into existence.
b) The minority share of movement in equity since the date parent subsidiary relationship came into existence.
c) Minority interest share of net profit/(loss) of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the profit after tax of the group..
b. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting year. Key estimates include estimate of useful life of fixed assets, unbilled revenue, income tax and future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates will be recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.
c. Fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes, and incidental
expenses related to acquisition and installation up to the point the asset is ready for its intended use. Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, borrowing costs capitalized and other direct expenditure.
Intangible Assets Toll Collection Rights Intangibles are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Expenditure related to and incurred during implementation of project are included under “Intangible Assets under Development”. The
same will be transferred to the respective intangible assets on completion of project. Intangible assets also includes software which are not integral part of the hardware are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Costs for toll collection rights awarded against construction service by the grantor on BOT basis include direct and indirect expenses on construction of roads, bridges, culverts etc. and infrastructure at the toll plazas.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2013
d. Depreciation Depreciation on assets, other than pantoon, shuttering materials and truss, is provided on written down value method, pro rata from
the period of use of assets, at the rates stipulated in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Pantoon, shuttering material and truss are depreciated over the period of 5 years based on the management’s estimate of useful life of the asset. Individual assets costing less than ` 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year they are put to use..
Amortisation Toll Collection Rights are amortised over the period of concession, using revenue based amortisation as prescribed in the Schedule
XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Under this methodology, the carrying value of the rights is amortised in the proportion of actual toll revenue for the year to projected revenue for the balance toll period, to reflect the pattern in which the assets economic benefits will be consumed. At each balance sheet date, the projected revenue for the balance toll period is reviewed by the mangement. If there is any change in the projected revenue from previous estimates, the amortisation of toll collection rights is changed prospectively to reflect any changes in the estimates.
e. Impairment of assets The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/
external factors. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use..
f. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get
ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. Costs incurred in raising funds are amortised equally over the period for which the funds are acquired. Other borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it is accrued.
g. Investments Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long-term investments. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value determined on an individual investment basis.
h. Inventories Inventory of construction materials is stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on first-in-first-out basis. i. Employee benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plan The Group makes contribution to statutory provident fund in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952 and Employee State Insurance Fund in accordance with Employees State Insurance Corporation Act, 1948 which are defined contribution plans and contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity is a post employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet
in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/ obligation is calculated at or near the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year to which such gains or losses relate.
(iii) All short term employee benefits are accounted on undiscounted basis during the accounting period based on services rendered by employees. The Group does not have a policy for compensating absences.
j. Revenue recognition i. Revenue from construction contracts The Group follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of physical measurement of work actually completed at the
balance sheet date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue and total cost till completion of the contract and the profit so determined has been accounted for proportionate to the percentage of the actual work done. Unbilled work-in-progress related to project works is valued at cost or estimated net realisable value, whichever is lower, till such time the outcome of the related project is ascertained reliably and at contract rates thereafter. Foreseeable losses are accounted for as and when they are determined except to the extent they are expected to be recovered through claims presented.
ii. Revenue from joint venture contracts a. Contracts executed in Joint Venture under work sharing arrangement (consortium) are accounted in accordance with the
accounting policy followed by the Group for an independent contract to the extent work is executed.
b. In respect of contracts executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under profit sharing arrangement, the services rendered to the Joint Ventures are accounted as income on accrual basis. The profit / loss is accounted for, as and when it is determined by the Joint Venture and the net investment in the Joint Venture is reflected as investments, loans and advances or current liabilities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2013
iii. Income from Toll Contracts The net income from toll contracts on BOT basis are recognized on actual collection of toll revenue.
iv. Dividend is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.
v. Interest and other income are accounted for on accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt basis.
k. Leases Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as
operating leases. Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
l. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at the year-end rate. Gains or losses arising out of remittance/translations at the year-end are credited / debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss except in cases of long term foreign currency monetary items where they relate to acquisition of fixed assets in which case they are adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets.
m. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents for purpose of the cash flow statements comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments
with an orignal maturity of three months or less. n. Resurfacing expenses Resurfacing costs are recognised and measured in accordance with AS 29 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” i.e.
at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at each balance sheet date. o. Segment reporting Identification of segments The Group’s operating businesses are organised and managed separately taking into account the nature of the products, the differing
risks and returns, the organisation structure and internal reporting system.
Unallocated items Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
Segment accounting policies The Group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the
financial statements of the company as a whole.
p. Taxation Current tax Provision for current tax is recognized based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemptions
in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between the
financial statements’ carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet dates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in the future. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realization. Timing differences originating and reversing during the tax holiday period are not considered for the purposes of computing deferred tax assets and liabilities.
q. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r. Provisions and Contingent liabilities A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to thier present value and are determined based on management’s estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates. Provisions are recognized in the financial statements in respect of present probable obligations, for amounts which can be reliably estimated.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.

SUPREME INFRASTRUCTURE INDIA LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for year ended 31 March 2012
1. Basis of PreparationThe consolidated financial statements of SupremeInfrastructure India Limited (the ‘Company’), its subsidiarycompanies and associate have been prepared to comply inall material respects with the notified Accounting Standardsissued by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of theCompanies Act, 1956. The financial statements have beenprepared under the historical cost convention on an accrualbasis. The accounting policies have been consistently appliedby the Company and are consistent with those used in theprevious year.Summary of Significant accounting policiesa. Principles of Consolidation
i. The consolidated financial statements of the grouphave been prepared in accordance with theAccounting Standard (‘AS’) 21, ‘ConsolidatedFinancial Statements’ and AS 23 on ‘Accounting forInvestments in Associates in Consolidated FinancialStatements’ notified by the companies (AccountingStandards) Rules 2006 (as amended).
ii. The consolidated financial statements have beenprepared using uniform accounting policies for thelike transactions and other events in similarcircumstances and are presented, to the extentpossible, in the same manner as the Company’sseparate financial statements.
iii. The financial statement of the Company and itssubsidiaries have been consolidated on a line toline basis by adding together the book values of likeitems of assets, liabilities, income and expensesafter eliminating all intra group transactions,balances and unrealised surpluses and deficit ontransactions (also refer point no. iv below)
iv. The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) contracts aregoverned by service concession agreements withgovernment authorities (grantor). Under theseagreements, the operator does not own the road,but gets “toll collection rights” against theconstruction services rendered. Since theconstruction revenue earned by the operator isconsidered as exchanged with the grantor againsttoll collection rights, profit from such contracts isconsidered as realized. Accordingly, BOT contractsawarded to group companies (operator), where thework is subcontracted to holding company, the intragroup transactions on BOT contracts and profitsarising thereon are taken as realised and noteliminated.
v. The excess of the cost to the Company of itsinvestment in a subsidiary companies over its shareof the equity of the subsidiary companies at the dateson which the investment in the subsidiary companiesare made, is recognised as ‘Goodwill’ being anasset in the consolidated financial statements andrecognized separately as an asset in theconsolidated financial statements. Alternatively,where the share of equity in the subsidiary
companies as on the date of investment is in excessof cost of investment of the Company, it is recognisedas ‘Capital Reserve’ and shown under the head‘Reserves and Surplus’, in the consolidated financialstatements.
vi. Goodwill arising out of acquisition of subsidiarycompany is not amortized and is tested forimpairment.
vii. Minority interest in the net assets of consolidatedsubsidiaries is identified and presented in theconsolidated balance sheet separately from liabilitiesand equity of the company’s shareholders. Minorityinterest in the net assets of consolidatedsubsidiaries consists of :
a) The amount of equity attributed to minority at the date onwhich investment in a subsidiary relationship came intoexistence.
b) The minority share of movement in equity since the dateparent subsidiary relationship came into existence.
c) Minority interest share of net profit/(loss) of consolidatedsubsidiaries for the year is identified and adjustedagainst the profit after tax of the group.
b. Use of estimatesThe preparation of the financial statements in conformitywith generally accepted accounting principles requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date offinancial statements and the reported amount of revenueand expenses during the reporting year. Key estimatesinclude estimate of useful life of fixed assets, unbilledrevenue, income tax and future obligations underemployee retirement benefit plans. Actual results coulddiffer from those estimates. Any revision to accountingestimates will be recognized prospectively in the currentand future periods.
c. Fixed assetsFixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, lessaccumulated depreciation. Cost includes inward freight,duties, taxes, and incidental expenses related toacquisition and installation up to the point the asset isready for its intended use.Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurredin respect of capital projects under development and arecarried at cost. Cost includes related acquisitionexpenses, construction cost, borrowing costs capitalizedand other direct expenditure.Intangible AssetsToll Collection RightsIntangibles are stated at cost, less accumulatedamortization and impairment losses, if any.Expenditure related to and incurred duringimplementation of project are included under “IntangibleAssets under Development”. The same will be transferredto the respective intangible assets on completion ofproject.Costs for toll collection rights awarded againstconstruction service by the grantor on BOT basis include
