In this Annual report we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take informed investment
decisions. This report and other statements – written and oral – that we periodically make contain forward- looking statements that set out anticipated
results based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried wherever possible to identify such statements by using words such as
‘anticipates’, ‘estimates’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’ and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future
performance. We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in assumptions.
The achievement of results is subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties
materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Shared responsibility and generosity for society have long been part of the Indian tradition. The
tradition continues at NCC, where Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is etched in the organisational
DNA. It is therefore no surprise that at NCC, we continuously think of ways to give back to society
from successful business endeavours towards Community Development. During the financial year
2021-22, NCC undertook a wide range of socio-economic, healthcare, and educational initiatives
under its CSR Programme touching the lives of the marginalized population.

10.1 Trade receivables are generally realisable from customers within a period of 30 days from the date of submission of bill / invoice.
10.2 In determining the allowance for trade receivables the company has used practical expedients based on financial condition of the
customer, ageing of the customer receivables and overdues, availability of collaterals and historical experience of collections from
customers. The concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is reasonably low as most of the customers are Government
organisations though there may be normal delays in collections.

38.3 Financial risk management objectives
The Company’s business activities exposed to a variety of financial risk viz., market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s
focus is to estimate a vulnerability of financial risk and to address the issue to minimize the potential adverse effects of its financial
performance.
i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. The Company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of the following:
• Interest rate risk
Out of total borrowings, large portion represents short term borrowings (WCDL) and the interest rate primarily basing
on the Company’s credit rating and also the changes in the financial market. Company continuously monitoring over all
factors influence rating and also factors which influential the determination of the interest rates by the banks to minimize
the interest rate risks.
The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s outstanding floating rate
borrowings. Out of the total borrowings of ` 1,184.08 crores (31.03.2021: ` 1,788.92 crores) as of 31.03.2022, the
floating rate borrowings are ` 1,052.71 crores (31.03.2021: ` 1,469.53 crores). For every 50 base points change in the
interest rate when no change in other variables, it will affect the profit before tax by ` 5.26 crores for the year ended
March 31, 2022 (31.03.2021: ` 7.35 crores).
• Foreign currency risk
The Company has several balances in foreign currency and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange
risk. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years, which has
affected the results of the Company, and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company evaluates exchange rate
exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
We summarize below the financial instruments which have the foreign currency risks as at March 31, 2022 and March 31,
2021.
(a) The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities
based on gross exposure at the end of the reporting period is as under:

Liabilities Assets

The Company doesn’t have any forex derivative instrument, hence all the above balances are unhedged.

(b) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:


The Company is not substantially exposed for business activities in foreign currency except in the form of investments and loans
into its foreign subsidiaries and associates. Hence, the impact of any significant fluctuation in the exchange rates is not expected
to have a material impact of the operating profits of the Company.

ii) Credit risk management
Credit Risk refers to the risk for a counter party default on its contractual obligation resulting a financial loss to the Company.
Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets is limited as the customers of the Company mainly consists of the Government
promoted entities having a strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute
the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets. In assessing the recoverability of the trade
receivables and contracts assets, management’s judgement involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations and
the likelihood of collection based on the terms of the contract. Refer note 6, 10.3, 15 and 15.4 for provision made against trade
receivable and contract assets.
Credit risk on account of investments, loans (including interest) and other receivables from group companies / related parties
has been adequately provided in the books. The cash and bank balances (excluding cash on hand) are held with banks and
financial institutions having good credit rating.
iii) Liquidity risk management
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by
continuous planning and monitoring of actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

11.2 In determining the allowance for trade receivables, the Group has used practical expedients based on financial condition of the
customer, ageing of the customer receivables and overdues, availability of collaterals and historical experience of collections from
customers. The concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is reasonably low as most of the customers are Government
organisations though there may be normal delays in collections.

41.1 Capital management
The Group’s capital management objective is to maximise the total shareholder return by optimising cost of capital through flexible
capital structure that supports growth. Further, the Group ensures optimal credit risk profile to maintain/enhance credit rating.
The Group determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plan and long-term strategic plans. The
funding requirements are met through internal accruals and long-term/short-term borrowings. The Group monitors the capital
structure on the basis of Net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Group.
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, non-controlling interest, securities premium and all
other revenue reserves. Net debt includes all long and short-term borrowings as reduced by cash and cash equivalents.

41.3 Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s business activities exposed to a variety of financial risk viz., market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s focus
is to estimate a vulnerability of financial risk and to address the issue to minimize the potential adverse effects of its financial
performance.
i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. The Group’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of the following:
• Interest rate risk
Out of total borrowings, large portion represents short term borrowings (WCDL) and the interest rate primarily basing
on the Group’s credit rating and also the changes in the financial market. Group continuously monitoring over all factors
influence rating and also factors which influential the determination of the interest rates by the banks to minimize the
interest rate risks.

Annual Report 2021-22 189


Notes forming part of the consolidated financial statements
The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings.
Out of the total borrowings of ` 1,302.43 crores (31.03.2021: ` 2,062.04 crores) as of 31.03.2022, the floating rate
borrowings are ` 1,109.58 crores (31.03.2021: ` 1,485.46 crores). For every 50 base points change in the interest rate
when no change in other variables, it will affect the profit before tax by ` 5.55 crores for the year ended March 31, 2022
(31.03.2021: ` 7.43 crores).
• Foreign currency risk
The Group has several balances in foreign currency and consequently the group is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The
exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years, which has affected the
results of the Group, and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The Group evaluates exchange rate exposure arising
from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
We summarise below the financial instruments which have the foreign currency risks as at March 31, 2022 and March 31,
2021.
(a) The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities based on
gross exposure at the end of the reporting period is as under:

The Group doesn’t have any forex derivative instrument, hence all the above balances are unhedged.
(b) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Group is not substantially exposed for business activities in foreign currency. Hence, the impact of any significant fluctuation in
the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact of the operating profits of the Group.

ii) Credit risk management
Credit Risk refers to the risk for a counter party default on its contractual obligation resulting a financial loss to the Group.
Credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets is limited as the customers of the Group mainly consists of the Government
promoted entities having a strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the
expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets. In assessing the recoverability of the trade receivables and
contracts assets, management’s judgement involves consideration of aging status, evaluation of litigations and the likelihood of
collection based on the terms of the contract. Refer note 6, 9, 11.3 and 16.3 for provision made against trade receivable and contract
assets.
Credit risk on account of investments, loans (including interest) and other receivables from related parties has been adequately
provided in the books. The cash and bank balances (excluding cash on hand) are held with banks and financial institutions having
good credit rating.
