year for diminution in the value of investment in its subsidiary
company, Mahindra World City (Maharashtra) Limited. In the opinion of
the Management, no loss is expected to arise in respect of other long
term investments for which an additional provision is required to be
made in the accounts.
7) Inventories, Current Assets, Loans and Advances:
a) Construction Work-in-Progress represents materials at site and
unbilled costs on the projects. Based on projections and estimates by
the Company of the expected revenues and costs to completion, provision
for losses to completion and/ or write off of costs carried to
inventory are made on projects where the expected revenues are lower
than the estimated costs to completion. In the opinion of the
management, the net realisable value of the construction work in
progress will not be lower than the costs so included therein.
b) Project advances and interest accrued thereon represent the amounts
recoverable from the proceeds of projects undertaken/financed by the
Company as per the contracted terms. The advances as well as the
interest thereon are considered good and fully recoverable based on
inter-alia the estimates and projections by the Company of the project
costs and revenues.

a) Based on the information available with the Company there are no
dues outstanding in respect of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises as

Education and Protection Fund.
c) The Company has, in case of certain projects, provided for Rs.
1,023.00 lakh (previous year Rs. 1,023.00 lakh) as provision for losses
to project completion. The amount has been determined using best
estimates with regard to percentage of completion, foreseeable costs to
completion and revenues from the project activity. However, considering
future business scenario, inflation in construction costs and market
movement causing changes in realisations, which cannot be presently
quantified, the final outcome may differ from that presently estimated.
The probability and the timing of the outflow with regard to this
matter depends on the completion of the project and conclusion of the
arbitration proceedings.
9) In respect of real estate projects under long term contracts,
determination of profits/ losses and realisability of the construction
work-in-progress & project advances necessarily involves making
estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature,
concerning, where relevant, the percentage of completion, costs to
completion and the projections of revenues expected from projects /
activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Profit from these
contracts and valuation of construction work in progress is based on
such estimates.
