(a) Basis of Preparation:
The Financial Statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respects with the notifed accounting standards by the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under
the historical cost convention on accrual basis except in case of
assets for which provision for impairment is made and revaluation is
carried out. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by
the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year.
(B) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in India requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates
include percentage of completion method which requires the Company to
estimate the cost expended to date as a proportion of the total
estimated costs, provision for doubtful debts, future obligations under
employee benefit plans, income taxes, warranties and the useful lives of
fxed assets and intangible assets.
Accounting estimates can change from period to period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are
made as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances
surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are refected in the
financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if
material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to financial
statements.
(C) fixed assets:
i. tangible assets:
Tangible assets are stated at their original cost of acquisition or
construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if
any. Cost comprises the purchase price and attributable cost if any, of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Capital Work in Progress is valued at cost.
ii. intangible assets:
Intangible assets are stated at their cost of acquisition less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any,
thereon. An intangible asset is recognised when it is probable that the
future economic benefits attributable to the asset will fow to the
enterprise and where its cost can be reliably measured. The cost of an
intangible asset is allocated over the best estimate of its useful life
on a straight line basis, a basis that refects the pattern in which the
assets economic benefits are consumed.
(d) depreciation/amortisation:
Depreciation/Amortisation is provided on written down value method in
accordance with Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, other than
described below.
Depreciation/Amortisation on assets acquired or sold during the year is
provided on pro-rata basis and is provided on Plant and Machinery items
based on number of shifits worked as per the provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956. In respect of the following tangible and intangible assets,
the following straight line method depreciation/amortisation rates
applied are different to the rates prescribed by Schedule XIV to the
Companies Act, 1956.
(e) impairment:
An asset is considered to be impaired in accordance with Accounting
Standard 28 - Impairment of Assets, when at Balance Sheet date there
are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or
where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs,
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value
in use the estimated future cash fows are discounted to their present
value at the weighted average cost of capital. The carrying amount is
reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an
impairment loss in the profit and loss account.
(f) investments:
Investments classifed as long term investments are stated at cost of
acquisition. However, provision for diminution in value is made to
recognise a decline, other than temporary, in its value. Investments
classifed as current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair
value determined either on an individual basis or by category of
investment, but not an overall (or global) basis.
(G) income taxes:
Tax Expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured
at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred Income taxes refect the impact
of current year timing differences between taxable income and
accounting income and reversal of timing differences of the earlier
years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that suffcient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. Deferred tax
asset on carried forward business losses and unabsorbed depreciation is
set up only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing
evidence that suffcient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax asset can be realised.
At each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses unrecognised deferred
tax assets to the extent that it is reasonably certain or virtually
certain supported by convincing evidence as the case may be that
suffcient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax is reviewed at each Balance Sheet
date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax
asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain and supported by convincing evidence, as the case may
be, that suffcient future taxable income will be available against
which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is
reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually
certain, as the case may be, that suffcient future taxable income will
be available.
(h) inventories:
i. Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
ii. Cost of raw materials comprises all costs of purchases (Net of
Cenvat credit) and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Cost is determined by moving
weighted average method.
iii. Cost is arrived at on a moving weighted average method and
includes, where appropriate, manufacturing overheads and excise duty.
Work in progress and fnished good inventory is valued as aforesaid
based on estimated value of work completed on each project.
iv. Inventory includes goods lying with vendors for job work and goods
in-transit.
(i) Central excise duty:
Excise duty liability is accounted for as and when goods are produced
as per consistent practice, in pursuance to the accepted practice of
excise authorities.
(J) revenue recognition:
Sales, other than long term contracts are recognised on dispatch of
goods. Sales are net of Value Added Tax. The Excise Duty recovered is
presented as a reduction from gross sales.
Revenues from long term contracts are recognised on the percentage of
completion method, in proportion that the contract cost incurred for
the work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total
contract costs.
Construction contracts are accounted for in accordance with the
Accounting Standard 7 on Accounting for Construction contracts. When
the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably,
contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction
contract are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by
reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the
reporting date, (the percentage of completion method).
At each reporting date, the contracts in progress (Progress work) is
valued and carried in the Balance Sheet under Current Assets. Advance
and progress payments received from customers during the course to
completion are carried under Current Liabilities. Based on overall
Gross margin estimated for outstanding contracts, revenues for
contracts in progress are recognised in the Profit and Loss account
based on the stage of completion of contract at the Balance Sheet date.
Stage of completion of a contract is determined based on the proportion
that contract costs incurred for work performed upto the reporting date
bear to the estimated total contract costs.
The Cenvat Credit is accounted by crediting the amount to cost of
purchases on receipt of goods and is used on clearance of fnished goods
by debiting Excise duty account.
Contract revenue accrued in excess of billing amounting to Rs11,910.99
lacs (2009-2010: Rs6,289.40 lacs) has been reflected as due from
customers on construction contracts under the head Currents assets,
Loans and Advances. While billing in excess of Contract revenue
accrued amounting to Rs4,188.90 lacs (2009-2010: Rs3,533.43 lacs) has

recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on
the current estimates.
Income from services is recognised as and when the services are
rendered.

account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend is
established.

Account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the
entitlement and reasonable certainty of collection / utilisation is
established in respect of exports made / to be made.
(K) foreign Currency transactions:
i. initial recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency by
applying the Monthly / Weekly average exchange rate.
ii. translation:

Balance Sheet date are translated using the prevailing exchange rate on
the Balance Sheet date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms
of historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported using
the exchange rate on date of transaction.
iii. exchange differences:
Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary assets and
liabilities, during the year are recognized in the Profit and Loss
Account.
iv. Forward exchange contracts are entered into for minimising risks
(not intended for trading and speculative purposes). Any profit and
loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is
recognised as income or expense for the year.
v. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its
risks associated with foreign currency fuctuations relating to certain
frm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. In respect
of outstanding derivative contracts as at Balance Sheet date, such
contracts are marked to market and keeping in view the principle of
prudence, only unrealized net mark-to-market losses are recognized to
Profit and Loss Account and net gain, if any, are ignored in pursuance
of the announcement dated March 29, 2008 by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.
(l) Provisions and Contingent liabilities:
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company
has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable (more likely than not) that an outfow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the
best estimate of the fow of economic benefits required to settle the
obligation at the reporting date. Where no reliable estimate can be
made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a
contingent liability is to be made when there is possible obligation
that arises from past events and the existence of which will be
confrmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present
obligation that may, but probably will not require an outfow of
resources or in respect of which the likelihood of outfow of resources
is remote.
(M) Post-sales Warranties and liquidated damages:
The Company provides its Clients with a fixed-period warranty on all
Contracts as per stipulated terms. Costs associated with such contracts
are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in
cost of sales. The Company estimates such costs based on historical
experience and the estimates are reviewed annually for any material
changes in assumption. Liquidated damages are provided as per
Managements estimates on case to case basis.

determined as at the end of the reporting date by independent actuary
using the Projected Unit Credit method. Past services are recognised on
a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become
vested. Actuarial gain and losses are recognised immediately in the
statement of Profit and Loss Account as income or expense. Obligation is
measured at the present value of estimated future cash fows using a
discounted rate that is determined by reference to the market yields at
the Balance Sheet date on Government Securities where the currency and
terms of the Government Securities are consistent with the currency and
estimated terms of the defned benefit obligation.
(P) leases:
operating lease:
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased asset, are classifed as
