OFFSHORE DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Subject to compliance with all applicable Indian laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and approvals in terms of

Regulation 21 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations, 2019 (“SEBI

FPI Regulations”), FPIs, including the affiliates of the Book Running Lead Managers, who are registered as category

I FPI can issue and deal in offshore derivative instruments (as defined under the SEBI FPI Regulations as any

instrument, by whatever name called, which is issued overseas by a FPI against securities held by it in India, as its

underlying) (all such offshore derivative instruments are referred to herein as “P-Notes”) and persons who are eligible

for registration as category I FPIs can subscribe to or deal in such P-Notes provided that in the case of an entity that

has an investment manager who is from the Financial Action Task Force member country, such investment manager

shall not be required to be registered as a Category I FPI. The above-mentioned category I FPIs may receive

compensation from the purchasers of such instruments. Such P-Notes can be issued post compliance with the KYC

norms and such other conditions as specified by SEBI from time to time. P-Notes have not been, and are not being

offered, or sold pursuant to this Placement Document. This Placement Document does not contain any information

concerning P-Notes or the issuer(s) of any P-notes, including, without limitation, any information regarding any risk

factors relating thereto.

Subject to certain relaxations provided under Regulation 22(4) of the SEBI FPI Regulations, investment by a single

FPI including its investor group (multiple entities registered as FPIs and directly or indirectly, having common

ownership of more than 50% or common control) is not permitted to be 10% or above of our post-Issue Equity Share

capital on a fully diluted basis. The SEBI has, vide a circular dated November 5, 2019, issued the operational

guidelines for FPIs, designated depository participants and eligible foreign investors (the “FPI Operational

Guidelines”), to facilitate implementation of the SEBI FPI Regulations. In terms of such FPI Operational Guidelines,

the above mentioned restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments and two or more

subscribers of offshore derivative instruments having common ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% or

common control shall be considered together as a single subscriber of the offshore derivative instruments. Further, in

the event a prospective investor has investments as an FPI and as a subscriber of offshore derivative instruments, these

investment restrictions shall apply on the aggregate of the FPI and offshore derivative instruments investments held

in the underlying company.

Further, in accordance with the FDI Policy, investments where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is situated

in or is a citizen of a country which shares land border with India, can only be made through the Government approval

route, as prescribed in the FDI Policy. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore

derivative instruments.

Any P-Notes that may be issued are not securities of our Company and do not constitute any obligation of,

claims on or interests in our Company. Our Company has not participated in any offer of any P-Notes, or in the

establishment of the terms of any P-Notes, or in the preparation of any disclosure related to any P-Notes. Any P-Notes

that may be offered are issued by, and are the sole obligations of, third parties that are unrelated to our Company. Our

Company and the Book Running Lead Managers do not make any recommendation as to any investment in P-Notes

and do not accept any responsibility whatsoever in connection with any P-Notes. Any P-Notes that may be issued are

not securities of the Book Running Lead Managers and do not constitute any obligations of or claims on the Book

Running Lead Managers. Respective affiliates of the Book Running Lead Managers which are Eligible FPIs may

purchase the Equity Shares in the Issue, and may issue P-Notes in respect thereof, in each case to the extent permitted

by applicable law.

Prospective investors interested in purchasing any P-Notes have the responsibility to obtain adequate

disclosures as to the issuer(s) of such P-Notes and the terms and conditions of any such P-Notes from the

issuer(s) of such P-Notes. Neither SEBI nor any other regulatory authority has reviewed or approved any P-

Notes or any disclosure related thereto. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own financial, legal,

accounting and tax advisors regarding any contemplated investment in P-Notes, including whether P-Notes are

issued in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our Condensed Interim Unaudited Financial Statements have been subjected to limited review by our Statutory

Auditors, who have reported that they applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a

review of such information. However, their separate report included herein states that they did not audit and they do

not express an opinion on that condensed interim unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of such

reliance on their report for such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures

applied therein.

In this Placement Document, certain monetary thresholds have been subjected to rounding off adjustments;

accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede

them.

All financial and statistical information in this Placement Document have been presented in lakhs or in whole numbers

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Placement Document that are not statements of historical fact constitute ‘forward-

looking statements’. These statements express views of the management of our Company and expectations based upon

certain assumptions regarding trends in the Indian and international financial markets and regional economies, the

political climate in which our 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 our

Company are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-

looking statements.

All statements regarding our Company’s expected financial conditions, results of operations, business plans and

prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements as to our Company’s

business strategy, planned projects, planned revenue and profitability (including, without limitation, any financial or

operating projections or forecasts), new business and other matters discussed in this Placement Document that are not

historical facts. These forward-looking statements and any other projections contained in this Placement Document

(whether made by our 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 our

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 our 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 our Company to be materially different from any of the forward-looking statements including,

amongst others:

• The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting deterioration of general economic conditions;

• Outstanding litigation and taxation matters involving our Company and our Director;

• Changes in the copper prices on the London Metal Exchange;

• Significant dependence on copper concentrate for revenue;

• Some of our facilities are currently not operational; and

• Estimates of our mineral reserves.

Additional factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of our Company to differ materially

include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors”, “Industry Overview”, “Our

Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages

40, 108, 124 and 77, respectively. Our Company and the Book Running Lead Managers expressly disclaim any

obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revision to any forward looking statements contained

herein to effect any changes in our Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions

or circumstances on which any such statements are based.

By their nature, market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs

in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated,

expressed or implied by such forward looking statements or other projections. The forward-looking statements

contained in this Placement Document are based on the beliefs of management, as well as the assumptions made by,

and information currently available to, the management of our Company. Although our 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 Placement

Document or the respective dates indicated in this Placement Document, and neither our Company, nor the Book

Running Lead Managers undertake any 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 our Company’s underlying assumptions

15

prove to be incorrect, the actual results of operations or financial condition of our Company could differ materially

from that described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. All subsequent forward-looking statements

attributable to our 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 Placement Document and include statements

regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of our Company concerning, amongst other things, the

expected results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and dividend policy of our

Company and the industry in which we operate. In addition even if the result of operations, financial conditions,

liquidity and dividend policy of our Company, and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent

with the forward-looking statements contained in this Placement Document, those results or developments may not

be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

16

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

Information regarding market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining to the business of our Company

contained in this Placement Document consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by government bodies,

organisations and analysts, data from other external sources and knowledge of the markets in which our Company

competes. Unless stated otherwise, industry data used throughout this Placement Document has been obtained or

derived from publicly available information as well as industry publications. Industry publications generally state that

the information contained in those publications has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable but

that their accuracy, adequacy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Accordingly,

no investment decision should be made on the basis of such information. Although we believe that the industry data

used in this Placement Document is reliable, it has not been independently verified by the Company, the Book Running

Lead Managers or any of their respective affiliates or advisors.

This data is subject to change and cannot be verified with certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of

the raw data and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Neither our Company nor the

Book Running Lead Managers have independently verified this data, nor do they make any representation regarding

the accuracy of such data. Our Company takes responsibility for accurately reproducing such information but accepts

no further responsibility in respect of such information and data. 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 our Company has relied on internally developed estimates. Similarly, while

our Company believes its internal estimates to be reasonable, such estimates have not been verified by any independent

sources and neither our Company nor the Book Running Lead Managers can assure potential investors as to their

accuracy.

Further, the extent to which the industry and market data presented in this Placement Document is meaningful depends

on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no

standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and

assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources.

Such data involves risks, uncertainties and numerous assumptions and is subject to change based on various factors,

including those disclosed in “Risk Factors” on page 40. Accordingly, investment decisions should not be based on

such information.

17

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Our Company is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of India. All the Directors and the Key

Managerial Personnel of our Company named herein are residents of India and all of the assets of our 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 our 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.

Under Section 14 of the Civil Procedure Code, a court in India shall upon the production of any document purporting

to be a certified copy of a foreign judgement, presume that the judgement was pronounced by a court of competent

jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on record; but such presumption may be displaced by proving want of

jurisdiction.

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.

18

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies will affect the foreign currency

equivalent of the Indian Rupee price of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. These fluctuations will also affect

the conversion into foreign currencies of any cash dividends paid in Indian Rupees on the Equity Shares.

The following table sets forth information concerning exchange rates between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar

(in Rs. per USD), for or as of the end of the periods indicated. The exchange rates are based on the reference rates

released by RBI / FBIL, which are available on the websites of RBI / FBIL. No representation is made that any Indian

Rupee amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at any particular rate, the rates stated below,

or at all. No representation is made that the Rupee amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could have

been or could be converted into U.S. Dollar at the rates indicated, at any other rate, or at all.

On March 30, 2021, the exchange rate was ₹ 73.04 to USD 1. (Source: www.fbil.org.in)

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

Overview

We are the only operating copper ore producing mining company in India. We are also the only vertically integrated

producer of refined copper in India (Source: Annual Report (2019-20), Ministry of Mines, Government of India). We

have access to around two-fifths of India’s copper ore reserves and resources as on April 1, 2020. Our Company is

central public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Mines, Government of India. Our Company was conferred

Miniratna- Category I status by the Government of India in 2008.

Our principal activities include: (a) mining of copper ore; (b) beneficiation of copper ore into copper concentrate; and

(c) smelting, refining and extruding of the refined copper in downstream saleable products. We sell copper concentrate,

copper cathode and continuous cast wire rods. In addition, we sell by-products generated through the copper

manufacturing process including anode slime containing gold and silver and sulphuric acid.

Our principal operations include three copper ore mining complexes – the Malanjkhand Copper Project (“MCP”) at

Malanjkhand in Balaghat district, Madhya Pradesh, the Khetri Copper Complex (“KCC”) at Khetrinagar in Jhunjhunu

district, Rajasthan and the Indian Copper Complex (“ICC”) at Ghatsila in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand – each

of which consists of one or more copper ore mines and their own beneficiation plants. Further, our ICC complex also

has its own smelting and refining facilities with a production capacity of cathode of 18,500 MT/annum. Additionally,

we have a continuous cast copper wire rod plant at Taloja in Raigad district, Maharashtra with a production capacity

of 60,000 MT/annum. We also have a secondary smelter and refinery plant at our Gujarat Copper Project (“GCP”) at

Jhagadia in Bharuch district, Gujarat with a production capacity of 50,000 MT/annum.

As on April 1, 2020, we had access to around two-fifths of the copper ore reserves and resources in India with an

average grade 1.01%. Further, as on April 1, 2020, we had reserves (proved & probable) of 167.08 million tonne ore

(average grade 1.32%) and total reserves and resource of 570.40 million tonne ore (average grade 1.01%).

RISK FACTORS

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risk

factors and all other information set forth in this Placement Document, including the risks and uncertainties

described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. You should read this section together with

“Industry Overview”, “Business”, “Summary Financial Information”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as the Financial Statements, including the notes thereto,

and other financial information included elsewhere in this Placement Document. You should consult your tax,

financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences to you of an investment in the Equity Shares.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that we currently face. Additional risks and

uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also materially and

adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. If any or some

combination of the following risks, or other risks that we do not currently know about or believe to be material,

actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows could suffer, the trading

price of, and the value of your investment in, our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your

investment. In making an investment decision, you must rely on your own examination of the Company and the terms

of this Issue, including the merits and risks involved.

This Placement Document also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results

could differ materially from such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the considerations

described below and elsewhere in this Placement Document.

A. Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

1. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting deterioration of general economic conditions has impacted our

business and results of operations in the past and the extent to which it will impact our future business and

results of operations will depend on future developments, which are difficult to predict.

Since first being reported in December 2019, the outbreak of COVID-19 has spread globally. The World Health

Organization declared the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak a Public Health Emergency of

International Concern on January 30, 2020, and a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The rapid and diffused spread of

COVID-19 and global health concerns relating to this pandemic have had a severe negative impact on, among other

things, financial markets, liquidity, economic conditions and trade and could continue to do so or could worsen for an

unknown period of time, that could in turn have a material adverse impact on our business, cash flows, results of

operations and financial condition, including liquidity and growth. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak

impacts our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments,

including on the duration and severity of the pandemic, the nature and scope of government actions to contain it, and

the potential impact on global and national economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, availability of

capital markets, consumer spending rates, energy availability and costs (including fuel surcharges), which are highly

uncertain and cannot be predicted. A rapid increase in severe cases and deaths where measures taken by governments

fail or are lifted prematurely, may cause unprecedented economic disruption in India and in the rest of the world. The

scope, duration and frequency of such measures and the adverse effects of COVID-19 remain uncertain and are likely

to be severe. In addition, while the Government of India in coordination with the state governments have started the

bulk immunization process or vaccination drive since January 16, 2021, such vaccination drive is currently focused

on healthcare and front-line workers and achieving a complete vaccination scale may take significant amount of time.

There is also no assurance that the vaccines that are developed will be fully effective and/ or may not have side effects.

On March 14, 2020, India declared COVID-19 as a ‘notified disaster’ and imposed a nationwide lockdown announced

on March 24, 2020. Subsequently, progressive relaxations have been granted for movement of goods and people and

cautious re-opening of businesses and offices. We have resumed our operations in a phased manner due to certain

specific directions/ guidelines issued by the State Government. Further, our facilities are currently operating subject

to certain social distancing and additional safety measures, such as, regular temperature checks, regular sanitization,

and compulsory use of masks and hand sanitization. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in some disruptions in the

supply of raw materials from our suppliers during the months of March, April and May 2020. We also experienced

some disruptions in supply chain and inventory management, as well as delays in orders. We continue to closely

monitor the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business and results of operations. Adverse effects of the COVID-

19 pandemic may also significantly increase the effect of the aforementioned factors affecting our results of operations.

41

The COVID-19 pandemic and related volatility in financial markets and deterioration of national and global economic

conditions could affect our business and operations in a variety of ways. For instance, on account of operating

restrictions/ lockdown consequent to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience operational

disruptions as a result of the following:

• a temporary shutdown of our facilities due to government restrictions or illness in connection with COVID-

19;

• a decrease in demand for our products as a result of COVID-19 on account of government restrictions

imposed and additionally on account of cost control measures implemented by our customers;

• supply chain disruptions for us and our customers;

• a significant percentage of our workforce being unable to work, including because of travel or government

restrictions in connection with COVID-19, including stay at home orders;

• delays in orders or delivery of orders;

• our strategic projects getting postponed or our planned deliveries being delayed; and

• inability to collect full or partial payments from some customers due to deterioration in customer liquidity.

The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our business and results will depend on future developments, which are

highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, such as new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the

coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. In addition,

we cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our customers, suppliers and other business

partners, and each of their financial conditions; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact

us. As a result of these uncertainties, the impact may vary significantly from that estimated by our management from

time to time, and any action to contain or mitigate such impact, whether government-mandated or opted by us, may

not have the anticipated effect or may fail to achieve its intended purpose altogether. Existing insurance coverage may

not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events.

As of the date of this Placement Document, there is significant uncertainty relating to the severity of long-term adverse

impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, global financial markets and the Indian economy, and we

are unable to accurately predict the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. To the extent that

the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and operations, it may also have the effect of heightening

many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

2. There are outstanding litigation and taxation matters involving our Company and our Directors, which if

determined adversely, could affect our business and results of operations.

We and our Directors are involved in certain legal proceedings and tax matters. 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.

We can give no assurance that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour. We may incur significant

expenses and management time in such legal proceedings and may have to make provisions in our financial statements,

which could increase our expenses and liabilities. Any adverse decision may have an adverse effect on our business,

results of operations and financial condition. If any new developments arise (e.g., rulings against us by the appellate

courts or tribunals), we may face losses and may have to make provisions in our financial statements, which could

increase our expenses and liabilities. Any adverse outcome of litigation or regulatory proceedings could have a

material adverse effect on our business, future financial performance and trading price of the Equity Shares. Our

Company may also incur legal cost for a matter even if our Company has not made any legal provisions for the same.

In addition, the cost of resolving a legal claim may be substantially higher than any amount reserved for

For further details on the outstanding litigation against our Company and Directors please see section titled “Legal

Proceedings” on page 195.

3. Changes in the copper prices on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) could adversely affect our results

of operations and thus affect our financial condition.

Presently, the majority of our sales of copper are made to customers in the domestic market in India. For the Fiscal

ended March 31, 2020, we generated approximately 57.43% of our revenue from operations from sales through exports

and 42.57% from sales in the domestic market. Refined copper products prices are benchmarked to the LME copper

price. The price of copper concentrate is negotiated between buyers (i.e. refined copper producers) and sellers (i.e.

42

mining companies) by working backwards, subtracting treatment and refining charge (“TcRc”) from the LME copper

price. Copper concentrate undergoes the smelting and refining processes to produce refined copper products in the

form of copper cathodes. Treatment charge (“Tc”) reflects the charge for the smelting process and refining charge

(“Rc”) reflects the charge for the refining of metals. In practice, the TcRc charges are determined by the oversupply

or deficit of copper concentrates in the market and not by the real cost for carrying out these processes. If there is an

oversupply of copper concentrates in the market as compared with global smelting capacity, smelters will demand

higher TcRc charges, and vice versa. In both cases, the real cost of smelting and refining remains unchanged.

LME copper prices have been volatile in the past. Sharp declines in the LME copper price in the past had caused us

to partially suspend mining, smelting and refining operations in the past and were largely responsible for us undergoing

government restructuring in the past years. The average spot LME copper price in Fiscal 2020 was approximately

US$ 5859.54 per tonne and in Fiscal 2019 was approximately US$ 6340.62 per tonne. While the LME copper price

as on December 31, 2020 was US$ 7,741.50 per tonne, LME copper prices have fluctuated significantly in the past

and they may continue to fluctuate in the future and there is no assurance that the LME price of copper will continue

to increase in the future. Accordingly, any significant decline of LME copper price in the future will adversely affect

the prices of our refined copper products and indirectly adversely affect the prices of our copper concentrate, which

will negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

4. We are significantly dependent on copper concentrate for revenue. Our copper ore mining operation is

dependent upon the ore produced at our Indian Copper Complex, Khetri Copper Complex and Malanjkhand

Copper Project. Any interruption in the operations at these mining complexes could have a material adverse

effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our revenue is significantly dependent on the production of metal in concentrate from our mines at ICC, KCC and

MCP. In Fiscal 2020, we produced 26,502 tonnes of metal in concentrate contain in copper concentrate from our

copper ore mining operations at our ICC, KCC and MCP mining complexes. Out of these 26,502 tonnes of metal in

concentrate, approximately 7.79%, 32.95% and 59.26% were produced from our ICC, KCC and MCP complexes,

respectively.

Further, in Fiscal 2020, our metal in concentrate production was affected due to low grade of ore at MCP and KCC as

well as water shortage at KCC. In addition, the availability of material was less in the open cast mine at MCP which

has reached its ultimate depth and is in a transition phase from open cast to underground mining. While we are in the

process of expanding our mining capacity and intend to sell copper concentrate as our primary product, our results of

operations have been and are expected to continue to be substantially dependent on the reserves of the mines at these

three mining complexes, and any interruption in the operations at these mines for any reason could have a material

adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

5. Some of our facilities are currently not operational. We cannot guarantee that we will in the future be able to

operate these facilities at their optimum capacity or at all which could have a material adverse effect on our

results of operations and financial conditions.

GCP has three sections namely, Anode furnace (Smelter), Refinery and Kaldo Furnace having aggregate book value

of Rs. 27,559.37 lakh as at December 31, 2020. The Anode Furnace and Refinery unit has been commissioned in

October 2016 while Kaldo unit is commissioned on May 25, 2020. Since commissioning, the plant is being operated

at a sub optimal level for want of feed stock. GCP being a secondary smelter, the feed stock are copper scrap, copper

blister, liberator cathode, etc. We have not been able to operate profitably the plant due to various constraints and our

Auditor has drawn attention to the valuation of GCP of Rs. 24,536.34 lakhs (PY:- Rs. 27,214.50 lakhs) as at March

31, 2020 and has stated that a viability assessment needs to be done to evaluate and adjust for possible impairment

loss, if any. Further, the Company has not been operating the smelting and refining facility at GCP for want of feed

material at economical price since July 2019. Accordingly, we have floated an ‘Expression of Interest for Long Term

Leasing or Outright Sale of the Gujarat Copper Project located at Bharuch’ and have received bids against the

expression of interest and we plan to float tender for long term leasing or outright sale of GCP.

Our Company has also suspended the operation of the smelting and refinery plant at ICC since December 2019 due

to the market conditions and business model followed by the company. In addition, we are utilising TCP facility only

for the purpose of tolling third party cathode since January 2020.

43

Further, the copper ore tailing (“COT”) beneficiation plant which was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable

minerals and metals from copper ore tails has not been commissioned and the contract has been terminated as of date.

Copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable minerals and metals

from copper ore tails with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per day (TPD) at an estimated cost of Rs. 20,000 lakh. The

intermittent trial run failed on number of occasions (chockage/ spillage, stoppages, cleaning etc) and the quality and

quantity of products achieved at various stages are not as per the parameters envisaged in contract agreement. A

preliminary notice was issued to the party to complete the project and commission the same. The party agreed to

commission the plant, but the progress of the work at site was stopped due to lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic. The

Company had extended the timeline upto August 31, 2020 for supply, erection of the thickener and commission of the

plant. But the party failed to execute the contract and the contract got terminated with efflux of time and the Company

has forfeited the security deposit under the contract. Further, we may be required to conduct a viability assessment to

evaluate and adjust for possible impairment loss, if any.

We cannot guarantee that we will in the future be able to operate the abovementioned facilities, at their full capacity

or at all. Accordingly, these could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions.

6. Our statements of mineral reserves are subject to estimations, and if the actual amounts of such reserves are

less than estimated, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our future performance depends on, among other things, the accuracy of the estimates of our ore reserves and

resources. Our mineral resources and ore reserves have been historically estimated by us using the Geological Survey

of India (“GSI”) system. Since 2005, the United Nations Framework Classification (the “UNFC”) has been introduced

and most of the reserves have been adequately converted to the UNFC system under our own internal reports. The

ore reserves and resources set forth in this Placement Document are also based on management estimates and third

party sources.

The estimates of reserves may differ in certain significant respects under JORC and UNFC guidelines. We cannot

assure you that one set of guidelines will produce more accurate reserve numbers than the other. The UNFC guidelines

provide for many more categories of recoverable minerals than the JORC guidelines. In particular, UNFC includes

Feasibility Mineral Resources, Pre-Feasibility Mineral Resources and Reconnaissance Mineral Resources. In addition,

while JORC is a two dimensional system, taking into account geological and economic considerations, UNFC has a

third dimension, reflecting the degree of assurance of resource/reserve estimates with respect to economic viability.

In connection with either set of guidelines, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and

grades of reserves and in projecting potential future rates of mineral production, including many factors beyond our

control. Reserve estimation is a subjective process of estimating deposits of minerals that cannot be measured in an

exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering

and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of different engineers may vary, and results of our mining and

production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revision of estimates. Reserve estimates and estimates

of mine life may require revision based on actual production experience and other factors. For example, fluctuations

in the market price of ore, reduced recovery rates or increased production costs due to inflation or other factors may

render proven and probable reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and

may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves. If our reserve estimates differ materially from mineral quantities or

grades that we may actually recover, estimates of mine life may prove inaccurate and market price fluctuations and

changes in operating and capital costs may render certain ore reserves or mineral deposits uneconomical to mine. If

this occurs, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

As a result, you should not place undue reliance on the ore reserve data contained in this Placement Document. In the

event that any of these estimations turns out to be incorrect, we may need to revise our ore reserves downwards and

this may adversely affect our life of mine plans and consequently the total value of our mining asset base, which could

increase our costs and decrease profitability.

For more information on our ore reserve and resources, see “Our Business – Access to substantial reserves” on page

127.

7. We depend and will continue to depend on obtaining and maintaining mining leases to mining sites and a

number of regulatory clearances and approvals, some of which are in the process of extension. If such leases

44

are not extended or such approvals are not granted, our results of operations and financial condition, as well

as our mining prospects and future growth, may be adversely affected.

Our exploration and mining activities depend on the grant, extension or continuance in force of various exploration

and production contracts, licences, permits and other regulatory approvals that are only valid for a finite period of time

and may provide for early termination. In India, the government grants exploration and production rights through

mining leases, mining licences, contracts, permits and other regulatory approvals. These rights are not granted in

perpetuity. For example, our mining right for the Surda mine expired on March 31, 2020. Further, our mining lease

for the Rakha mine is due to expire on August 28, 2021 and the mining lease for our Malanjkhand mine is due to

expire on August 27, 2023. There can be no assurance that the relevant State Government will extend our leases under

the same or favourable terms in the future. Further, the Government of Jharkhand had asked the Company to pay

additional royalty payment without which they may not extend the lease of Surda mine. If any of the leases that have

expired are not extended by the GoI or the relevant State Government, or if the appropriate approvals and clearances

for mining are not obtained and maintained, our results of operations and financial condition, as well as mining

prospects and future growth could be adversely affected. For the complete details of the present status of our mining

leases, please see “Our Business- Our Mines” on page 133.

Moreover, entering into new licence or mining lease contracts or extending existing licence or mining lease contracts

in India is time consuming and requires the review and approval of several Indian government authorities. Private

individuals and the public at large possess rights to comment on and otherwise engage in the licensing process,

including through intervention in courts and political pressure. The relevant laws and regulations are often unclear

and may not be consistently applied. Our licences or mining lease contracts contain various obligations and

restrictions, including restrictions on constructing buildings or conducting mining operations at certain areas and the

requirement of seeking a prior Government approval for an assignment or any other form of transfer of the lease or

for the employment of a person who is not an Indian national. If we breach these obligations, we may suffer adverse

consequences, such as penalties and/or suspension or termination of our licence or mining lease contracts. In addition,

changing circumstances may require us to amend these licence or mining lease contracts. There can be no assurance,

however, that the relevant Indian regulatory authorities will agree to future amendments of our obligations. The loss

of our licence or mining lease contracts would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,

results of operations and profits.

In addition, our ability to mine new areas of land on which we are seeking mining rights, pursuant to leases, is

dependent on our acquisition of surface rights separately and subsequently to the grant of mining leases and generally

over only part of the land leased. Additional surface rights may be negotiated separately with landowners, though

there is no guarantee that these rights will be granted. The title deeds for Freehold and Leasehold Land and Building

acquired in respect of GCP with book value of Rs. 5,578.11 lakhs as at March 31, 2020 are yet to be executed. Further,

the title deeds, conveyance deeds, etc. in respect of certain freehold lands at ICC acquired through nationalization in

accordance with Indian Copper Corporation (Acquisition of Undertaking) Act, 1972 are not in possession of the

Company. Substantial compensation costs may be incurred by us in obtaining surface rights. Any delay or substantial

compensation costs in obtaining, or any inability to obtain, surface rights at reasonable costs could negatively affect

our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain such leasehold

rights or surface rights on acceptable terms, or, if obtained, such rights may not be obtained in a timely manner or may

involve requirements which restrict our ability to conduct our operations or to do so profitably.

Further, we have applied for a number of approvals that are currently pending with various regulatory authorities, such

as applications filed for environmental clearances and forest clearances and requisite approvals from the various state

pollution control boards for our operations in certain areas. Further, we have applied for extension of a number of our

mining leases which have expired or will expire in the near future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to

satisfy all of the terms and conditions of the extension of these mining leases and in the event that we are unable to

extend the mining leases, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Further, we are in the process of applying

for certain environmental clearances in order to expand some of our existing mines, reopen some of our mines which

are currently closed and establish new mines. In addition, a number of licenses that we held, such as licenses obtained

pursuant to environmental legislations, have expired and we have made extension applications for the same with the

relevant authorities. For example, we have been asked to provide a bank guarantee of Rs. 571.00 lakhs, stage -1 forest

clearance and a copy of the extended mining lease for the grant of the environment clearance for the Surda mine. We

have also made fresh applications for certain licenses that we now require, such as licenses relating to our mining

activities. If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals, licenses, registrations or permits in a timely manner, or

at all, our ability to continue our operations may be adversely affected. If we fail to obtain such regulatory approvals

45

or comply with these conditions, or a regulatory authority claims that we have not complied with these conditions, it

could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to obtain these approvals or extensions in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to continue our operations

may be adversely affected. If we fail to obtain such regulatory approvals or comply with these conditions, or a

regulatory authority claims that we have not complied with these conditions, it could have a material adverse effect

on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, some of these approvals are subject to certain conditions, the non-fulfilment of which may result in

revocation of such approvals. Even after such required licenses, permits and approvals have been obtained, our

operations will be subject to continued review and the governing regulations may change. We cannot assure you 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. If

we fail to comply with all applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our business or their implementation

change, we may incur increased costs, be subject to penalties and suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which

could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, a demand of Rs. 4,353.78 lakh

was raised by the District Mining Officer of Jamshedpur for running the Surda mine without valid environment

clearance, which was further increased to Rs 12,690.49 lakhs by the office of the District Mining Officer and

subsequently revised to Rs 92,940.06 lakh by the State Government. While an interim stay has been granted against

the demand by the Revisional Authority till the next date of hearing, any adverse order will have a significant adverse

effect on our business, operations and financial results.

Further, certain of our contractors and other counterparties are required to obtain approvals, licenses, registrations and

permits with respect to the services they provide to us. We cannot assure you that such contractors or counterparties

have obtained and will maintain the validity of such approvals, licenses, registrations and permits. We cannot assure

you that we or any other party will be able to obtain or comply with all necessary licenses, permits and approvals

required for our operations in a timely manner to allow for the uninterrupted construction or operation of our business,

or at all.

8. There are two major refined copper producers in India, and we could be adversely affected by changes in the

business or financial condition of these producers or by the loss of their business.

In Fiscal 2020, we sold all of our surplus copper concentrate to primarily one of these major refined copper producers

in India. Through the planned expansion of our mining capacities, we expect that copper concentrate, rather than

refined copper products, will be our primary product in the future. We expect that we will continue to sell most or all

of our copper concentrate to this large refined copper producers in India, where our cost advantages are most

prominent. A significant downturn in the business or financial condition of the customer could adversely affect our

results of operations. If our relationship with this customer deteriorates or is terminated in the future, we may be

required to seek new customers within or outside India. In the event that we are required to sell our copper concentrate

to international refined copper producers, our cost advantages would be less pronounced and our results of operations

and financial condition could be adversely affected.

9. We may not be successful in implementing our strategies.

The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively implement our business and strategies.

For more information, see “Business – Strategies” on page 128. Even if we have successfully executed our business

strategies in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our strategies on time and within the

estimated budget, or that we will meet the expectations of targeted customers. We expect our strategies to place

significant demands on our management and other resources and require ourselves to continue developing and

improving our operational, financial and other internal controls. One of our key strategies is to expand our current ore

production level from approximately 3.97 million tons per annum (“MTPA”) as on March 31, 2020 to 12.2 MTPA in

phase –I (under implementation) and subsequently to 20.2 million tons per annum in phase-II. We expect that this

strategy will place significant demands on our management, mining technology and capital expenditure. Part of the

capital expenditures required for this key strategy will be funded out of the Net Proceeds. Additionally, we are also

required to amend our various policies such as delegation of powers, performance management system, use of

integrated business automations tools, etc. to ensure that we are able to successfully implement our expansion plane.

Our inability to implement and manage this key strategy as well as others could have an adverse effect on our business,

financial condition and profitability.

46

10. Our expansion, reopening and new mine projects may require significant capital expenditure and may not be

completed in the timeframe or at cost levels originally anticipated, and we may not achieve the intended

economic results.

We currently have a number of expansion, reopening and new mine projects planned for our mining operations. We

are in the process of expanding our mining capacities from approximately 3.97 MTPA as on March 31, 2020 to 12.2

MTPA in phase –I (under implementation) and subsequently to 20.2 million tons per annum in phase-II This expansion

plan includes (i) development of underground mine under existing open cast mine at Malanjkhand; (ii) expanding our

existing mines, namely Khetri, Kolihan and Surda; (iii) reopening some of our mines that were closed in the past

namely Kendadih and Rakha; and (iv) establishing new mines/mining blocks, namely Banwas, Chapri, Sideshwar and

Dhobani mine. Any of these prospects may lead to unforeseen delays or expenses. See “Our Business – Increased

Focus on Copper Mining and Expansion of Our Mining Capacity” on page 128.

These projects and any other future projects can require many years to reach anticipated production targets and could

be significantly delayed by failure to receive necessary licenses, regulatory approvals or to obtain sufficient funding,

or due to difficulties in sourcing additional water or power requirements, construction delays, technical difficulties,

human resources, technological or other resource constraints, or for other unforeseen reasons, events or circumstances

that could affect our results of operations. The funding requirements and project costs for these planned expansion,

reopening and new mine projects are based on management estimates.

We estimated that the project costs for expansion of the existing mine at Khetri and Kolihan of our KCC mining

complex would amount to approximately Rs. 91,000 lakhs. For the expansion of the Malanjkhand mine of MCP, we

estimated that the development of the underground mine under existing open cast mine for both phases would amount

to approximately Rs. 2,90,000 lakhs. For the expansion of the Surda mine of ICC, we estimated that the project costs

would amount to approximately Rs. 35,000 lakhs . For the reopening of the Rakha mine and Kendadih mine of ICC,

we estimated that the project costs would amount to approximately Rs. 55,000 lakhs and Rs. 9,500 lakhs, respectively.

For the establishment of the Dhobani mine and Chapri-Sideshwar mine at ICC, we estimated that the project costs

would amount to approximately Rs. 5,500 lakhs and Rs. 55,000 lakhs, respectively. Further, we estimate an

expenditure of Rs. 9,000 lakhs for the establishment of the mine at Banwas. In total, we estimate that will require Rs.

5,50,000 lakhs for implementing our proposed expansion plan. The implementation of these expansion, reopening and

new mine projects is subject to a number of variables, and the actual amount of capital required for these projects may

differ from our estimates. We cannot guarantee that the funding requirements of any particular project will not

substantially exceed these estimates.

To fund all of our expansion, reopening and new mine projects as well as our other capital expenditures and working

capital requirements, we will be required to obtain debt financing or other capital investment. Further, we shall be

utilising our Net Proceeds towards our expansion plan. There can be no assurance that we will achieve such financing

in a timely manner and on favourable terms, or at all. Further, as of December 31, 2020, we have an outstanding debt

(excluding accrual interest) of Rs. 127,041.84 lakhs. Future debt financing, if available, may still result in increased

finance charges, increased financial leverage, decreased income available to fund further acquisitions and expansions

and the imposition of restrictive covenants on our business and operations. In addition, future debt financing may limit

our ability to withstand competitive pressures and render us more vulnerable to economic downturns. If we fail to

generate or obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, we could be forced to reduce or delay the planned

expansion, reopening or new mine projects or other capital expenditures.

11. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our

operating and financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary

shares may be adversely affected.

We are a public sector undertaking company with limited disclosure and accounting personnel and other resources

with which to address our internal controls and procedures for both our disclosures and our financial controls. We

have, in the past, experienced disclosure issues. Our previous statutory auditors have, without qualifying their audit

report, noted certain deficiencies in internal controls in our financial statements for the Fiscals 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Further, we have had to make significant write-offs in Fiscal 2020 as one time adjustment of closing stock totalling to

an amount of Rs. 25,710.39 lakhs arising as a result of reconciliation of metal content in copper concentrate on inter-

unit transfer and sales, assessment of metal loss in generation of granulated dump slag, handling losses and old and

47

oxidised concentrate for the period between the years 2008 to 2020. Further, provision amounting to Rs. 18,331.80

lakh has been made against Mill Scat and Lean Ore at MCP, which are not presently in use and have no realisable

value at present. If we are unable to implement solutions to any weaknesses in our existing internal controls and

procedures, or if we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may be unable to

accurately report our operating and financial results or prevent fraud and investor confidence and the market price of

our equity shares may be adversely impacted.

12. We have 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 may impact our results of

operations.

Some of the debt agreements entered into by us contain restrictive covenants, which, among other things, restrict our

ability to raise additional equity, 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. Also,

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 fund capital expenditures, meet working capital

requirements and use for other general corporate purposes. Such defaults may also result in a decline in the trading

price of the Equity Shares and you may lose all or part of your investment. 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.

13. Our Surda mine expansion project has not yet obtained the necessary environmental and other regulatory

approvals and we have not yet awarded contracts in connection with the proposed expansion.

Our proposed phase-1 Surda mine expansion project which envisages the enhancement of the copper ore production

capacity from 0.31 MTPA to 0.9 MTPA has been suspended since April, 2020 due to non-extension of the mining

lease by the Government of Jharkhand. While we have applied for the extension of the mining lease, our extension

application may not be successful and may be rejected. Further, we do not have the necessary environmental and other

regulatory approvals for the operation of the Surda Mine. The Expert Appraisal Committee of Ministry of

Environment, Forest and Climate Change (“MoEFCC”) had recommended in August 2020, that the proposal for

Environment Clearance is subject to extension of the mining lease, providing a bank guarantee of Rs. 571.00 lakhs

and stage -1 forest clearance. Failure to obtain the extension of the mining lease, necessary approvals and clearances

within the expected timeframe may delay our planned expansion and adversely affect our prospects.

14. Our operations are subject to operating risks that could result in decreased production or increased cost of

production, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The success of our business is subject to operating conditions and events beyond our control that could, among other

things, increase our mining, processing, transportation or production costs, disrupt or halt operations at our mines and

production facilities permanently or for varying lengths of time, or interrupt the transportation of our semi-finished

products between our facilities and our finished products to our customers. These conditions and events include:

Availability of water.

Water is critical in copper mining operations and refined copper production, especially for our operations at KCC,

ICC and MCP and our proposed expansion plans. This is particularly so for KCC as the facility is located in a desert

area. Water at our KCC facilities is sourced from tube wells located approximately 26 km to 42 km away and is

supplied through a water pipeline of a total length of approximately 17 km. Further, KCC has an agreement with the

State Government to supply 4 million litre of water per day from the Kumbharam Project. Water at ICC and MCP is

sourced from the Subarnarekha River and the Banjar River which are approximately 0.2 km and approximately 4.5

48

km away, respectively. Any disruptions in water supply could seriously hamper our copper production and may

adversely affect our business, operating revenues and results of operations. In the past, we have encountered water

problems at KCC and MCP. In Fiscal 2020, our metal in concentrate production was affected due to water shortage at

KCC. There is no assurance that disruptions to our water supply will not occur in the future and any such disruptions

may adversely affect our operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions in mining and production due to equipment failures, unexpected maintenance problems and other

interruptions.

All of our operations are vulnerable to disruptions due to equipment failures, unexpected maintenance problems and

other interruptions. Ore processing plants are especially vulnerable to interruptions, particularly where an event causes

a stoppage which necessitates a shutdown in operations. This could materially and adversely affect our results of

operations or financial condition. The losses from such interruptions include lost production, repair costs and other

expenses.

Availability of electricity.

We require substantial electricity for our copper mining and refining and energy costs represent a significant portion

of the production cost for our operations. Our mining complexes are located in remote areas and we rely on the state

electricity boards for almost all the electricity requirements for our production facilities. We maintain electricity

generators at our facilities to meet emergency requirements. State electricity boards are not always able to consistently

meet our requirements especially as our mining complexes are located in remote areas that require transmission over

greater distances. If for any reason such electricity is not available, we will need to rely entirely on our own backup

electricity generators. If our backup facilities are not sufficient, we may need to shut down our plants until an adequate

supply of electricity is restored. Interruptions of electricity supply can also result in production shutdowns, increased

costs associated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress. Historically, we have not

experienced significant power interruption but we cannot assure you that such power interruptions will not occur in

the future. Furthermore, any increase in the cost of such purchased power would adversely affect our cost of production

and profitability.

Accidents at mines, smelters, refineries and related facilities.

Mining operations are subject to risks normally associated with exploration, development and production of natural

resources, any of which could disrupt our operations, cause damage to property or cause injury or fatalities among our

workforce. Any fires, flooding, explosions or other accidents causing personal injury, property damage or

environmental damage at or to our mines, smelters, refineries or related facilities may result in significant losses,

expensive litigation, imposition of penalties and sanctions or suspension or revocation of permits and licences. In

addition, certain risks associated with our mining activities may have a negative effect on our ability to economically

extract our resources, thereby reducing our stated reserves.

Risks associated with our open-pit mining operations include flooding of the open-pit, collapses of the open-pit wall,

slope failure and operation of large equipment for open-pit mining and rock transportation. The open-pit mines get

deeper as we mine them, presenting certain geotechnical challenges including the possibility of slope failure. If we

are required to decrease pit slope angles or provide additional road access to prevent such a failure, the cost of

operating our mines would increase, which would negatively affect how much of our ore resources we could

economically extract, thereby reducing our stated ore reserves and could negatively affect our results of operations

and financial conditions. Further, hydrological conditions relating to pit slopes, removal of material displaced by slope

failures and increased stripping requirements could also negatively affect our stated reserves in this manner. We have

taken action in order to maintain slope stability, but we cannot assure you that we will not have to take additional

action in the future or that any action taken will be successful. If any of our open-pit mines experience unexpected

slope failure, or we are required to take additional measures to prevent slope failure, such measures may negatively

affect our results of operations and financial condition, as well as have the effect of diminishing our stated ore reserves.

Risks associated with our underground mining operations include underground fires and explosions (including those

caused by flammable gas), cave-ins or ground falls, discharges of gases or toxic substances, flooding, sinkhole

formation and ground subsidence.

Accidents may also cause disruptions in production. Due to the dangerous nature of our operations, we are subject to

49

extensive health and safety laws. A violation of health and safety laws or failure to comply with the requirements of

the relevant health and safety authorities could lead to, among other thing, a temporary shutdown of all, or a portion

of, our mines or processing facilities and the imposition of costly compliance procedures. If health and safety

authorities shut down all, or a portion of, our mines or processing facilities or impose costly compliance measures,

our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. We

use a variety of materials and chemicals in our manufacturing processes that may be harmful to humans, as well as in

our smelting operations and in connection with maintenance work on our manufacturing facilities. Because of the

nature of these substances or related residues, we may be liable for certain costs, including, amongst others, costs for

health-related claims or removal or re-treatment of such substances. Certain of our current and former facilities

incorporate asbestos-containing materials, a hazardous substance that has been the subject of health-related claims for

occupational exposure. In addition, although we have developed environmental, health and safety programmes for our

employees, including measures to reduce employee exposure to potentially dangerous substances, and conduct regular

assessments at our facilities, we are currently, and in the future may be, involved in claims and litigation filed on

behalf of persons alleging injury or death caused predominantly as a result of occupational exposure to substances or

other risks at our current or former facilities. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and

lawsuits due to the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation. If these claims and lawsuits, individually or in

the aggregate, were finally resolved against us, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Even though we provide safety training to our employees, injuries to and deaths of workers at our mines and facilities

have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. In the past Fiscals, fatal accidents have occurred at our mines.

We cannot assure you that serious or fatal accidents will not occur at our mines and facilities and any of such accidents

may have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial conditions.

Strikes and industrial actions or disputes.

Our employees are represented by labour unions under collective bargaining agreements with varying durations and

expiration dates. We may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate our collective bargaining agreements when they

expire. In addition, existing collective bargaining agreements may not prevent a strike or work stoppage or other

industrial actions or disputes at our facilities in the future. Strikes, work stoppages and industrial actions or disputes

have occurred in the past and may occur in the future, which may lead to business interruptions and halts in production.

In addition, our businesses may be subject to union demands and litigation for pay raises and increased benefits, and

existing arrangements with trade unions may not be renewed on terms favourable to us, or at all. There can also be no

assurance that work stoppages or other labour-related developments (including the introduction of new labour

regulations in India) will not adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. Any industrial unrest or

slowdowns which our third party contractors may experience could disrupt the provision of services to us and may

adversely impact our operations and financial condition.

Other risks and hazards.

Our businesses are subject to numerous other operating risks which include: unexpected geological features or

unexpected seismic activity; climatic conditions (including the impact of seasonal variations during the monsoon

months) such as flooding, extreme foggy conditions or drought; rebel or other terrorist vandalism or attacks; tribal

action or protests; environmental hazards; and technical failures. These risks and hazards could result in damage to,

or destruction of, properties or production facilities, may cause production to be reduced or cease at those properties

or production facilities, may result in personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption or possible legal

liability and may result in actual production differing from estimates of production, including those contained in this

Placement Document.

The occurrence of any one or more of these conditions or events could have a material adverse effect on our business,

results of operations and financial condition.

15. There is no assurance that our contractors will perform as contracted and not violate any applicable laws and

regulations.

We have outsourced a portion of our mine operations including our expansion projects to third party contractors. For

example, we have outsourced the operation of the opencast mine at Malanjkhand for enhancement of copper ore to

5.0 MTPA through an EPC contract in 2015 to M/s IVRCL Limited, who has gone into liquidation as a going concern

pursuant to which, as a result of shortage of funds of M/s IVRCL Limited, the progress of development of Malanjkhand

50

underground mine is slow.

In respect of logistics services, we have contracted with a third party logistics provider, to provide a total logistics

solution to us across our operating units. We generally select contractors based on a competitive bidding process.

Although we have established internal control procedures in the selection of contractors, there is no assurance that our

contractors will deliver quality services as contemplated by our outsourcing agreements. In addition, there is no

assurance that our contractors will not violate any applicable laws and regulations in their provision of services. If we

become aware that any of our contractors is involved in any material breach of applicable laws and regulations, we

will pursue all reasonable means for terminating the relevant contracting agreement with such contractor immediately.

In the event that our contractors do not perform as contemplated under the outsourcing agreements or if we are unable

to identify any substitute, our business operations or planned expansion projects may be adversely affected.

16. Fluctuation in exchange rates of Rupees and U.S. Dollars could affect our financial condition and results of

operations.

Our products are priced based on the LME copper price, which is quoted in U.S. Dollars. An appreciation of Rupee

against the U.S. Dollar would mean that our price in U.S. Dollars stays the same, but the amount we receive in Rupee

would decrease. The exchange rate between the Rupee and U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and

may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. We bear the complete risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations

between the Rupee and the U.S. Dollar and do not totally hedge against currency fluctuations. Any appreciation of

Rupee against the U.S. Dollar may adversely affect our sales and our results of operations.

17. Changes in tariffs, royalties, customs duties and government assistance may adversely affect our profitability

and results of operations.

Copper is sold in the Indian market at a premium to the international prices of these metals due to tariffs payable on

the import of such metals. Between 2001 and 2020, customs duties on imported refined copper were reduced from

35% to 5%. Customs duties on copper concentrate were reduced from 5% to 2% in Fiscal 2007 but further increased

to 2.5% in Fiscal 2011. The GoI may reduce customs duties further in the future, although the timing and extent of

such reductions cannot be predicted. As we sell the majority of the copper we produce within India and price our

products to include the premium created by such tariffs, any further reduction in Indian tariffs on imports will decrease

the premiums we can charge in respect of those sales. Any reduction of such tariffs or customs duties would have an

adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We pay royalties, NMET (National Mineral Exploration Trust), DMF (District Mineral Foundation fund) and other

taxes imposed by the State Governments based on our extraction of copper ore or a flat monthly dead rent for our

mines which are currently non-operational, to the respective State Governments. The royalties, NMET, DMF, tax rates

and dead rents we pay are subject to change. Any upward revision to the royalty, NMET, DMF, tax rates or dead rents

rates being charged currently will adversely affect our results of operations. We paid Rs. 7,717.04 lakhs in Fiscal

2020, Rs. 9,803.47 lakhs in Fiscal 2019 and Rs. 8,766.16 lakhs in Fiscal 2018 as royalties. Any upward revision to

the royalty rates being charged currently or payment of additional royalty for mining of associated minerals, or any

adverse decision of a court in any dispute over royalty payments that we may be involved in currently or in the future,

will adversely affect our results of operations.

18. We may lose our status as the sole copper ore producing miner in India in the future.

As of the date of this Placement Document, we are the only operating copper ore producing mining company in India

with access to around two-fifths of India’s copper ore reserves and resources as on April 1, 2020. While, we believe

that we have adequate opportunity to benefit financially by increasing our mining capacities, there is no prohibition

against other domestic or international mining companies from obtaining copper ore mining leases in India. If in the

future, the Government provides access to copper ore mines to other entities, we may lose our status as the only

operating copper ore producing mining company in India, which will materially impact our business, operations and

financial results.

19. If we cannot mine existing reserves at competitive costs or cannot secure additional reserves that can be mined

at competitive costs, our profitability and results of operations could decline.

We operate copper ore mining operations at ICC, KCC and MCP to obtain copper ore for production of copper

51

concentrates. Historically, our copper ore mining operations met approximately 60% of our copper concentrate

requirement, the rest being imported. From December 2008, with the closure of our KCC smelter, being one of our

two smelting plants, we have stopped the purchase of copper concentrate. In the future, we plan to expand our copper

ore mining capacities in order to be self-sufficient in respect of copper concentrate requirements and to sell copper

concentrate as our primary product. However, if our existing copper ore reserves cannot be mined at competitive costs

or if we cannot secure additional reserves that can be mined at competitive costs, our profitability and results of

operations will be adversely affected. Furthermore, if the quality of copper ore deteriorates in our existing mines, our

production cost may increase, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

Further, we have applied for extension of the mining leases for the Rakha and Surda mine of ICC, however there is

no assurance that mining lease will be extended. Further, there is no assurance that any copper ore that we may extract

from these mines will be of commercially viable quality. If such copper ore is of sub-optimal quality, our production

costs could be higher than anticipated.

20. Any increase in our production costs could reduce our ability to compete and achieve long-term profitability.

Our competitiveness and long-term profitability substantially depends upon our ability to maintain a low cost base,

including low transport, energy and labour costs. There can be no assurance that our cost inputs will be maintained at

current levels. Our cost inputs include power, materials, fuel, transport, rental and labour costs. Labour costs have

significantly increased over the last few years partly because of increased competition for skilled labour. Any increase

in these costs could materially and adversely affect our profitability, financial condition, results of operations and

prospects. We are planning to invest a significant amount of capital to expand our current production level. Our unit

production costs are therefore significantly affected by production volumes given the relatively fixed nature of our

cost base in the short term, and any inability to maximize capacity utilization could impair our overall cost

competitiveness.

21. Our operations are reliant on the timely supply of raw materials and transportation of semi-finished products

between our production facilities and finished products to our customers, which are subject to uncertainties

and risks.

We depend on various forms of transport to receive raw materials used in production, to deliver semi-finished products

between our production facilities and mining complexes and to deliver our products from our production facilities to

our customers. Among these forms of transportation, road transportation is the main transportation utilized by us to

transport semi-finished products between our mining complexes and finished products to our customers. Non-

availability of adequate road transportation due to, among others, strikes, has had in the past and may in the future,

adversely affect our ability to source raw materials and to supply products to our customers. In addition, transportation

may be adversely affected by inadequate infrastructure, adverse weather conditions, mechanical failures, infrastructure

damage, accidents, strikes, insurgency threats, or other factors beyond our control, which could impair our ability to

source raw materials and components or our ability to supply products to our customers. Inadequacies or interruptions

in transportation may also result in increased inventories, or result in decreased, non-optimal production from our

mines due to lack of adequate space to maintain inventories. Increased inventories could also result in loss of stock

through pilferage or otherwise. There can be no assurance that we will have access to adequate transportation

infrastructure and capacities for our existing operations as well as our planned expansion projects. Any non-

availability of adequate transportation infrastructure may adversely affect our business and results of operations as

well as our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies.

22. We are required to comply with environmental laws, and the failure to comply with new environmental laws

could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations in India, which govern the discharge, emission,

storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances that may be used in or result from our operations. We are

required to obtain environmental permits to conduct our operations. In addition, our extension of mining leases are

also subject to environmental clearance. As an industrial business in India, we are required to undertake programmes

to minimize our impact on the environment and to protect natural resources. We are required to actively monitor

specific parameters such as air emissions, wastewater discharge, ambient air quality, quality of nearby surface water,

soil and groundwater quality and the generation of solid waste. We are required to submit an annual statistical report

on these monitoring results to the Indian environmental authorities. The governmental authorities from time to time

conduct independent tests to validate our results.

52

If our emissions exceed certain levels established by the site permits, we could be subject to monetary penalties.

Moreover, in the course, or as a result, of an environmental investigation, regulatory authorities in India can issue an

order reducing or halting production at a facility that has violated environmental standards. If production is reduced

or halted at one or more of our facilities, our business, financial condition, result of operations and prospects could be

materially and adversely affected.

One of the main environmental issues in the mining industry is wastewater and tailings management. Wastewater and

tailings can contain substances that are potentially harmful to human beings and the environment, especially in large

quantities, like heavy metals that may cause cancer, nervous system failure or death in humans and, in the past,

wastewater and tailings seepage has occurred as a result of mining operations. There can be no assurance that we will

not be subject to claims for damages to persons or property resulting from the release into the environment of

wastewater or tailings residue by our operations or be held responsible for the costs of clean-up associated with any

such release into the environment of wastewater or tailings residue by our operations which may be substantial. Such

costs and liabilities could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Environmental law and regulation of industrial activities in India and across the world may become more stringent,

and the scope and extent of new environmental regulations, including their effect on our operations, cannot be

predicted with any certainty. In case of any change in environmental, or pollution regulations, we may be required to

expend significant amounts on, amongst other things, environmental monitoring, pollution control equipment and

emissions management. We may also be required to bear additional expenditure for the establishment of additional

infrastructure, such as laboratory facilities for monitoring pollution impact and effluent discharge and effluent

treatment or recycling plants. We could also be subject to substantial civil and criminal liability and other regulatory

consequences in the event that an environmental hazard was to be found at the site of any of our plants, or if the

operation of any of our plants results in material contamination of the environment. We may also be the subject to

public interest litigation in India relating to allegations of environmental pollution by our plants, as well as cases

having potential criminal and civil liability filed by state pollution control authorities. New legislation or regulations,

or different or more stringent interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, may also require us or

our customers to change operations significantly or incur increased costs which could have an adverse effect on our

results of operations or financial condition.

23. We have a number of contingent liabilities and our profitability could be adversely affected if any of these

contingent liabilities materialises.

As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated contingent liabilities were as follows:

(Rs. in lakhs)

Claims against the company not acknowledged as debt: As of December 31, 2020

Disputed VAT / CST / Entry Tax 3,516.76

Disputed Excise Duty 2,947.97

Disputed Income Tax / Provident Fund 23,113.43

Other Demand 43,634.72

Total (A) 73,212.88

Other money for which the company is contingently liable:

Bank Guarantee 1,534.33

Letter of Credit 93.17

Bill discounting -

Total (B) 1,627.50

Contingent Liability (A+B) 74,840.38

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 – Contingent Liabilities” on page 204.

24. We depend on the experience and skills of our management and certain key employees. Any loss of such

persons or failure to timely replace such persons could adversely affect our business.

We are dependent on our management team and certain key employees and our ability to meet future business

challenges depends on their continuation and our ability to attract and recruit talented and skilled personnel. We are

53

in particular dependent to a large degree on the continued service and performance of our senior management team

and other key team members in our business units. The average age of our senior management team is currently over

50 and the mandatory retirement age in India is 60. As such, we are required to impose and successfully implement

appropriate succession plans. These key team members possess technical and business capabilities that are difficult to

replace. The loss or diminution in the services of our key team members, specifically the loss of the senior management

team members with important technical know-how and experience of our operations will adversely affect our business

operations, financial condition and prospects.

In addition, we face strong competition in recruiting and retaining skilled and professionally qualified staff. The

current strong commodity cycle and the large number of projects being developed in the copper industry worldwide

have increased the demand for skilled personnel. As a public sector undertaking in India, GoI policies regulate and

control the emoluments, benefits and perquisites that we pay to our employees, including our key managerial personnel

and other employees. We may be unable to compete with private companies for qualified personnel due to their ability

to offer more competitive salaries and benefits packages. The loss of key personnel or any inability to manage the

attrition levels in different employee categories may adversely affect our business, our ability to grow and our control

over various business functions.

25. The audit reports in respect of our Audited Financial Statements contain certain matters of emphasis

The audit reports for our Audited Financial Statements for Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 contain certain matters of

emphasis. There is no assurance that our auditors’ reports for any future Fiscal periods will not contain matters of

emphasis or that such matters of emphasis will not require any adjustment in our financial statements for such future

periods or otherwise affect our results of operations in such future periods.

For further details please refer to the section titled “Financial Statements” beginning on page 204.

26. We have experienced negative cash flows in the past. If we do not maintain positive cash flow, we cannot

assure you that we will be able to sustain our growth or achieve profitability in future periods.

The following table summarises our standalone cash flows for Fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 and for nine month

period ended December 31, 2020:

(Rs. in lakhs)

Net increase / (decrease) in

cash and cash equivalents

52,868.90 (30,182.08) 11,017.52 (28,177.32)

We have experienced negative cash flows in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2018. Further, in the last three Fiscals and for the

nine month period ended December 31, 2020, we experienced negative cash flows from investing activities. While we

had positive cash flow in Fiscal 2019 and the nine month period ended December 30, 2020, we cannot assure you that

we will have positive cash flows in future. If our revenues do not grow as expected or if our expenses and working

capital requests increase at a greater rate than we expect, we may not be able to achieve positive cash flow. If we do

not maintain positive cash flow, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sustain our growth or achieve profitability

in future periods.

27. Our Company does not have a woman Director on the Board as required under Section 149 of the Companies

Act, 2013 and Regulation 17(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations and accordingly, penalties have been imposed

upon us.

As per Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 17(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations, the Company is

required to have at least one woman Director on its Board. However, with effect from November 16, 2019, the Board

54

of the Company does not have any woman Director. Both BSE and NSE have imposed penalties on the Company for

non-compliance of Regulation 17(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations pertaining to appointment of woman Director on

the Board of the Company. Details of fine imposed on the Company is given below:

28. The posts of two of the functional directors remain vacant on our Board.

The posts of two functional Directors namely, Director (Mining) and Director (Operations) are laying vacant on our

Board since December 31, 2019, which is affecting the functioning of the Company. The Company has requested the

Ministry of Mines, Government of India for appointment of these two Functional Directors. At present, Chairman and

Managing Director and Director (Finance) of the Company have been given additional charge of the post of Director

(Operations) and Director (Mining) respectively. Delay in the appointment of the functional directors will impact of

operations, business and the day to day functioning of our Company.

29. Our insurance does not cover all of the risks we face, and the occurrence of events that are not covered by our

insurance could cause losses, which if significant, could adversely affect our financial condition.

We maintain insurance coverage which we believe is consistent with the industry practices and in amounts which we

believe to be commercially appropriate. Nevertheless, we may become subject to liabilities, including liabilities for

business interruption, product liability, pollution or other hazards, against which we may not have adequate insurance,

or at all, or cannot insure. Our insurance policies contain exclusions and limitations on coverage, and we do not have

business interruption insurance. We do not have insurance for business interruptions, product liability or certain types

of environmental hazards, such as pollution or other hazards arising from the disposal of waste products and, for a

substantial part of our business, terrorist insurance. The occurrence of a significant adverse event, the risks of which

are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of

operations. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain our existing level of insurance, or

obtain additional insurance, in the future at acceptable rates.

As a result, our insurance coverage may not cover the extent of any claims against us, including for environmental or

industrial accidents or pollution.

30. We may be obligated to consider non-economical concerns in the operating of our refining plants.

As a public sector undertaking, we may make operating decisions based on factors that do not typically affect private

companies. For example, our smelting and refining operations require a significant number of employees and actions

to close, suspend or reduce our operating capacity that result in the loss of jobs could potentially result in social unrest

or political ramifications. Consequently, we may decide to continue operating our smelting and refining plants even

if, economically, there are better uses of our capital and copper concentrate. If we decide to continue operating our

smelting and refining plants due to these other non-economical reasons, it could have an adverse effect on our results

of operations or financial condition.

31. Announcements by the GoI relating to increased wages for government and public sector employees will

increase our expenses and may adversely affect our financial condition in the years of implementation.

In the past, the Department of Public Enterprises (“DPE”) has required government enterprises to implement salary

increases for employees below executive level as determined by the respective boards and management of the relevant

government enterprises within a certain guideline set by the DPE. Further, post the implementation of the seventh pay

commission, our employees of the salaries were further increased. These governmental measures increase our labour

costs and there is no assurance that additional measures or further increases will not be introduced by the GoI. Any

announcements by the GoI relating to increased wages for government and public sector employees will increase our

55

expenses and may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

32. We cannot register “Hindustan” as a trademark.

Our ability to market and sell our products depends upon the recognition of our brand name and associated consumer

goodwill. We cannot register “Hindustan” as a trademark under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Consequently, we do not

enjoy the statutory protections accorded to registered trademarks in India for the corporate name of our Company.

Therefore, we may be unable to capitalize on the brand recognition associated with Hindustan Copper Limited. Loss

of the right to use our corporate name may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business as well as affect our

reputation, and consequently, our results of operations.

33. If we do not continue to invest in new technologies and equipment, our technologies and equipment may

become obsolete and our cost of production may increase relative to our competitors, which would have a

material adverse effect on our ability to compete, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our profitability and competitiveness are in large part dependent upon our ability to maintain a low cost of production

as we sell commodity products with prices we are unable to influence. Unless we continue to invest in newer

technologies and equipment and are successful at integrating such newer technologies and equipment to make our

operations more efficient, our cost of production relative to our competitors may increase and we may cease to be

profitable or competitive. For example, trial use of hi-chrome grinding media was initiated at our MCP plant which

we believe resulted in cost saving in the grinding media per ton of milling. However, newer technologies and

equipment are expensive and the necessary investments may be substantial. Moreover, such investments entail

additional risks as to whether the newer technologies and equipment will reduce our cost of production sufficiently to

justify the capital expenditures to obtain them. Any failure to make sufficient or the right investments in newer

technologies and equipment or in integrating such newer technologies and equipment into our operations could have

a material adverse effect on our ability to compete and our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

34. Intrusions and breaches into the security of our IT infrastructure could damage our operations, reputation or

result in a liability to us.

We maintain a number of information databases on our internal network and customers access our website to tender

bids for our products making our ability to sell our products reliant on the uninterrupted operation of our IT

infrastructure. Any shortcomings or failures in our IT infrastructure would limit our ability to process sales transactions

and would adversely affect our results of operations. Our financial, accounting or other data processing systems may

fail to operate adequately or become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control,

including a disruption of electrical or communications services. If any of these systems do not operate properly or are

disabled or if there are other shortcomings or failures in our internal processes or systems, it could affect our operations

or result in financial loss, disruption of our businesses, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. In addition,

our ability to conduct business may be adversely impacted by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our

businesses and the localities in which we are located. Our operations also rely on the secure processing, storage and

transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Our computer systems,

software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other

events that could compromise data integrity and security. If our security measures are circumvented, the security of

confidential and propriety information stored on our systems could be jeopardized, or our operations could be

interrupted. A material security breach could damage our reputation or result in liability to us, and we do not carry

insurance that protects us from this kind of loss.

35. Some of our immovable properties may have certain irregularities in title, as a result of which our operations

may be impaired.

We possess immovable properties at various locations for the purposes of our business, held either on freehold or

leasehold basis. We acquire our mining land under various mining leases executed with the respective state

governments. Certain of our properties have also been acquired through the process instituted under the Land

Acquisition Act. We have also purchased some of our land from private owners. Registration of land title in India is

not centralized and has not been fully computerized. Land records are often hand-written in local languages and may

not be legible or correctly spelt and at time, may be in poor condition or untraceable, making it difficult to ascertain

title. Title risks can be particularly acute where fragmented land rights are acquired from agriculturalists and small

landholders. Further, title records in India presently provide only for presumptive title rather than a guaranteed title to

56

the land. Indian law, for example, recognizes the ability of persons to effect a valid mortgage on an unregistered basis

by the physical delivery of original title documents to a lender. Adverse possession under Indian law also gives rise,

on 12 years‘ occupation, to valid ownership rights as against all parties, including government entities that are

landowners, without the requirement of registration of ownership rights by the adverse possessor. Title to land may

be defective as a result of a failure on our part, or on the part of a prior transferee, to obtain the consent of all such

persons or duly complete stamping and registration requirements. The uncertainty of title to land may impede the

processes of acquisition, independent verification and transfer of title, and any disputes in respect of land title that we

may become party to may take several years and considerable expense to resolve if they become the subject of court

proceedings.

For instance, the title deeds for Freehold and Leasehold Land and Building acquired in respect of GCP with book

value of Rs. 5,578.11 lakhs are yet to be executed. Further, the title deeds, conveyance deeds, etc. in respect of certain

freehold lands at ICC acquired through nationalization in accordance with Indian Copper Corporation (Acquisition of

Undertaking) Act, 1972 are not in possession of the Company.

Our business may be affected if we are unable to continue to utilize our owned and leased properties as a result of any

irregularity of title or otherwise.

36. We may not maintain historical dividends in the future.

Our Company did not declare any dividend in Fiscal 2020. 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 the Board, and will depend

upon, among other factors, our revenues, financial position, cash requirements and availability of profits, as well as

the provisions of relevant laws in India from time to time. For further details, please see “Dividends” on page 76.

37. Our workforce is exposed to various operational risk and hazards.

Our operations subject our workforce to hazards inherent in mining operations, such as risk of equipment failure,

impact from falling objects, collision, work accidents, fire, or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and

loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage. Although we

have taken insurance coverage to reduce the damage or losses from such circumstances, we cannot assure that we

would be absolved from any future liability, if any which may arise as a result of these hazards.

38. Our business is subject to seasonal and other fluctuations that may affect the functioning of the projects

thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and business operations.

Our business and operations may be affected by seasonal factors which may restrict our ability to carry on activities

related to our projects and fully utilize our resources. Heavy or sustained rainfalls or other extreme weather conditions

such as cyclones could result in delays or disruptions to our operations during the critical periods of our projects and

cause severe damages to our premises and equipment. In particular, the monsoon season may restrict our ability to

carry on activities related to our projects and fully utilize our resources. This may result in delays in execution of

projects and also reduce our productivity. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we

may continue to incur fixed expenses and our project related activities may be delayed or reduced. Adverse seasonal

developments may also require the evacuation of personnel, suspension or curtailment of operations, resulting in

damage to construction sites or delays in the delivery of materials. Such fluctuations may adversely affect our toll

revenues, cash flows, results of operations and financial conditions.

39. The requirement of funds for our expansion plan as stated in this Placement Document have not been

independently verified and utilization of proceeds of the Issue will not be subject to monitoring by any

independent agency.

The requirement of funds for our expansion plans which we propose to partially fund from the Net Proceeds, as stated

in the section “Use of Proceeds” on page 68 are based on internal management estimates and have not been subjected

to any independent verification. These estimated costs have been derived from the EPC contracts awarded by our

Company to the third parties for the expansion activities and management estimates and do not include any escalation

costs. Further, the utilization of the proceeds of the Issue will not be subjected to any monitoring by any independent

agency.

57

40. Any increase in competition in the refined copper markets could result in lower prices or sales volumes of

refined copper produced by us, which may cause our profitability to suffer.

We sell most of our refined copper in the domestic market. We face intense competition from domestic manufacturers

and imports. Our domestic competitors are larger than us in terms of production capacities and volumes. These

companies are also expanding their production capacities. If domestic demand is not sufficient to absorb these

increases in capacity, our competitors could reduce their prices, which may require us to do the same or cause us to

lose market share to our competitors or sell our products in overseas markets at relatively lower prices. Should the

price of our products decline, our profit margins would decline, and without a sufficient increase in our sales volume,

our revenues would also decline.

In addition, the end-user markets for certain value-added copper products are highly competitive. Copper competes

with other materials particularly plastic, steel, iron, glass, and paper, amongst others, for various applications. In the

past, customers have demonstrated a willingness to substitute other materials for copper. The willingness of customers

to accept substitutes could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects.

41. India has a limited amount of indigenous copper ore reserves and we may not be able to secure additional

reserves in India that can be mined at competitive costs in the future.

As of April 1, 2015, India‘s total copper ore resources were estimated at 1511.5 million tonnes (as classified under

the UNFC system). This represents a small portion of copper ore reserves as compared to worldwide and other regional

and national copper ore reserves. In the future, the economically feasible reserves within India may become exhausted,

potentially as a direct result of depletion from our mining operations, requiring us to evaluate the acquisition of copper

resources outside of India. We could face competition from other mining enterprises, both domestic and foreign, in

discovering, acquiring and producing these resources. There can be no assurance that we can effectively compete with

existing or future competition to acquire mineral resources, and any failure to compete effectively could materially

and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

42. An increase in the prices of mining or refining equipment may adversely affect our business.

Due to the significant expansion of mining investments worldwide and changes in copper prices, mining and refining

equipment prices have increased significantly. Increases in the cost of mining or refining equipment may increase

mining and refining costs and could have a negative effect on the profitability margins of our mining business and

consequently may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

43. We will continue to be controlled by the GoI following this Issue. The interests of the GoI as our controlling

shareholder may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

After the completion of the Issue, the GoI will hold approximately 70,35,87,852 Equity Shares, or approximately

72.76 % of our post-Issue paid-up capital. Consequently, the GoI will retain control over the decisions requiring

adoption / approval by the shareholders and will also retain the power to elect and remove our Directors and therefore

determine the outcome of most proposals for corporate action requiring approval of our Board.

The interests of the GoI with respect to such matters and the factors that it will take into account when exercising its

voting rights, including with respect to five year plans, revenue budgets, capital expenditure, the payment of dividends

and transactions with other public sector companies, may not be consistent with those of our other shareholders,

including investors that purchase our Equity Shares in the Issue. The GoI could, by exercising its powers of control,

initiate, delay or defer a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combinations involving us or our

competitors and peers, or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain

control of us. Further, given the importance of the mining industry to the economy and the mass consumption of

certain mining products by Indian industries, the GoI could require us to take actions designed to serve the public

interests of India and not necessarily to maximize profits. In addition, as a result of our ownership by the GoI, we are

required to respect certain restrictions with respect to the types of investments we may make using our cash balances,

which effectively restricts us from entering into certain investments providing a higher rate of return.

Under our Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Mines and as per our Articles of Association, the GoI

may issue directives with respect to the conduct of our business or affairs or impose other restrictions. For example,

58

under Article 70 of our Articles, the President of India has the power to appoint and remove all members of the Board

of Directors. Pursuant to Article 72 of our Articles, Government approval is required for our undertaking of any capital

expenditure exceeding a specified amount. Under Article 83 of our Articles, approval from the President of India is

required for certain matters, such as entry into any partnership or acquisition of shares in other companies.

B. Risks Relating to India

1. Our business is substantially affected by prevailing economic, political and other prevailing conditions in India

and the other markets we currently service.

In Fiscal 2020, we sold 42.57% of our copper concentrate and refined copper products to customers in India. The

performance and growth of our business are necessarily dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy and

key infrastructure sectors such as electrical, telecom and construction. As a result, we are highly dependent on

prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operations are significantly affected by factors influencing

the Indian economy. Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and therefore our results of operations,

may include:

• any increase in interest rates or inflation;

• any exchange rate fluctuation;

• any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse impact on the economic conditions in

India and scarcity of financing of our developments and expansions;

• political instability, a change in government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies;

• domestic consumption and savings;

• balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports (oil and oil products);

• annual rainfall in India which affects agricultural production;

• any exchange rate fluctuations;

• any scarcity of credit or other financing, resulting in scarcity of financing for our expansions;

• prevailing economic and income conditions among consumers and corporations;

• volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, India’s principal stock exchanges;

• changes in tax, trade, Fiscal or monetary policies, including application of GST;

• political instability, terrorism or military conflicts in India or in countries in the region or globally;

• occurrence of natural or man-made disasters;

• infectious disease outbreaks or other serious public health concerns;

• prevailing regional or global economic conditions, including in India’s principal export markets;

• other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its iron or steel sector;

• increase in India’s trade deficits or such trade deficits becoming unmanageable; and

• decline or future material decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves.

Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy, could

adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition and the price of the Equity Shares. Our

performance and the growth of our business depend on the performance of the Indian economy and the economies of

the regional markets we currently serve. These economies could be adversely affected by various factors, such as

political and regulatory changes including adverse changes in liberalization policies, social disturbances, religious or

communal tensions, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities, interest rates, commodity

and energy prices and various other factors. Any slowdown in these economies could adversely affect the ability of

our customers to afford our services, which in turn would adversely impact our business and financial performance

and the price of the Equity Shares.

High rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our revenues, and as such

decrease our operating margins. Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors

thereof, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition and the price of the Equity

Shares.

If India’s trade deficits increase or become unmanageable, the Indian economy, and therefore our business, future

financial performance, cash flows and the trading price of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected.

59

A decline or future material decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves could impact the valuation of the Rupee and

could result in reduced liquidity and higher interest rates which could adversely affect our financial condition and

future financial performance.

2. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties including adverse application of tax laws and

regulations such as application of Goods and Service Tax, may adversely affect our business results of

operations, cash flows and financial performance.

Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in law or interpretations of existing,

or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations in India applicable to us and our business. There can be no

assurance that the central or the state governments may not implement new regulations and policies which will require

us to obtain approvals and licenses from the governments and other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements

and conditions on our operations. Any change in such RBI regulation may have a severe impact on our businesses

outside India or any expansion plans that involve support from our local operations. Any new regulations and policies

and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of the new regulations may have a material adverse

effect on all our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may have to incur capital

expenditures to comply with the requirements of any new regulations, which may also materially harm our results of

operations. The Government of India has enacted the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 which lays down a

comprehensive national GST regime which has combined taxes and levies collected by the central and state

governments into a unified rate structure. This legislation was notified and made effective from July 1, 2017.

The Government has also proposed major reforms in Indian tax laws with respect to the provisions relating to the

general anti-avoidance rule (“GAAR”). As regards GAAR, the provisions have been introduced in the Finance Act,

2012 and have come into effect from April 1, 2017. The GAAR provisions intend to catch arrangements declared as

“impermissible avoidance arrangements”, which is any arrangement, the main purpose of which is to obtain a tax

benefit and which satisfy at least one of the following tests (i) creates rights, or obligations, which are not ordinarily

created between persons dealing at arm’s length; (ii) results, directly or indirectly, in misuse, or abuse, of the

provisions of the Income-tax Act; (iii) lacks commercial substance or is deemed to lack commercial substance, in

whole or in part; or (iv) is entered into, or carried out, by means, or in a manner, which are not ordinarily employed

for bona fide purposes. If GAAR provisions are invoked, then the Indian tax authorities have wide powers, including

denial of tax benefit or a benefit under a tax treaty. As the taxation system is intended to undergo significant overhaul,

its consequent effects on us cannot be determined at present and there can be no assurance that such effects would not

adversely affect our business and future financial performance.

The 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. The application of various Indian tax laws, rules and regulations to our business, currently or in the future,

is subject to interpretation by the applicable taxation authorities. If such tax laws, rules and regulations are amended,

new adverse laws, rules or regulations are adopted or current laws are interpreted adversely to our interests, the results

could increase our tax payments (prospectively or retrospectively) and / or subject us to penalties. Further, changes in

capital gains tax or tax on capital market transactions or sale of shares could affect investor returns. As a result, any

such changes or interpretations could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance

3. Financial instability in other countries, particularly countries with emerging markets, could disrupt Indian

markets and our business and cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decrease.

The Indian financial markets and the Indian economy are influenced by the economic and market conditions in other

countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors' reactions to developments in one

country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor

confidence in other financial systems may cause volatility in Indian financial markets, including with respect to the

movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India, and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any such

continuing or other significant financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results and

the trading price of the Equity Shares.

4. Changes in the policies of, or changes in, the Indian Government, could adversely affect economic conditions

in India, and thereby adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

60

India remains our largest market, representing 43% of our total revenues in Fiscal 2020. In addition, our manufacturing

facilities and power plants are located in India. Consequently, we may be affected by changes to Central Government

policies, changes in the Central Government itself, or any other political instability in India. For example, rising

interest rates, increases in taxation or the creation of new regulations could have a detrimental effect on the Indian

economy generally and our business in particular.

The Central Government has sought to implement a number of economic reforms in recent years and has also

continued the economic liberalization policies pursued by previous Central Governments. However, the roles of the

Central Government and the state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators have

remained significant. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect

business and economic conditions in India generally which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of

operations and financial condition.

5. The business and activities of the Company, as applicable, may be regulated by the Competition Act, 2002.

The Competition Act seeks to prevent business practices that have a material adverse effect on competition in India.

Under the Competition Act, any arrangement, understanding or action in concert between enterprises, whether formal

or informal, which causes or is likely to cause a material adverse effect on competition in India is void and attracts

substantial monetary penalties.

Any agreement that directly or indirectly determines purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, shares the

market by way of geographical area, market, or number of customers in the market is presumed to have a material

adverse effect on competition. Provisions of the Competition Act relating to the regulation of certain acquisitions,

mergers or amalgamations which have a material adverse effect on competition and regulations with respect to

notification requirements for such combinations came into force on June 1, 2011. The effect of the Competition Act

on the business environment in India is unclear and it is difficult to predict its impact on the growth and expansion

strategies of the Company. If the Company, as applicable, is affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or

interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the Competition

Commission of India (“CCI”), or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the

Competition Commission of India, it may have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of

operations, cash flows and financial condition.

6. If regional hostilities, terrorist attacks or social unrest in India increase, our businesses could be adversely

affected.

India has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest, terrorist attacks and hostilities with neighbouring

countries. These hostilities and tensions could lead to political or economic instability in India and have a possible

adverse effect on the Indian economy, the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, cash flows and

financial condition and future financial performance. India has also experienced localized social unrest and communal

disturbances in some parts of the country. If such tensions become more widespread, leading to overall political and

economic instability, it could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance and cash flows.

In addition, our current facilities are located in geographically remote areas that may be at risk of terror attacks. Such

attacks may be directed at Company property or personnel, at property belonging to the Company’s customers or at

the state-owned infrastructure used by the Company to transport goods to customers. Such attacks, or the threat of

such attacks, whether or not successful, may disrupt the Company’s operations and / or delivery of goods, result in

increased costs for security and insurance and may adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations,

financial condition and prospects, as well as place the Company’s assets and personnel at risk.

7. Investors in our Equity Shares offered in the Issue may be unable to enforce a judgment of a foreign court

against us or our Directors or Key Management Personnel named in this Placement Document.

We are a limited liability company incorporated in India. All of our Directors and Key Management Personnel named

in this Placement Document are residents of India and the majority of our assets and such persons’ assets 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 in courts outside of 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 or if the judgements are in breach of or contrary to Indian law. A

61

party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain the approval from the RBI to execute such a

judgment or to repatriate outside India any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of the judgment. For further

details, please see section titled “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities” on page 17.

8. Indian laws contain restrictions on the acquisition and transfer of Indian securities by persons resident outside

India. The conversion of the Rupee proceeds from such sale into foreign currency and the repatriation of that

foreign currency from India could require the RBI’s approval. Approvals required from the RBI or any other

government authority may not be obtained on terms favourable to a non-Indian resident investor or at all. Due

to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in our Equity Shares may be prevented from

realising gains during periods of price increases or limiting losses during periods of price declines.

Indian laws contain restrictions on the acquisition and transfer of Indian securities by persons resident outside India.

The information below has been provided for the benefit of investors. However, the information below does not

purport to be a complete analysis of the restrictions under Indian laws for the acquisition and/or transfer of securities

in an Indian company by a person resident outside India. Our Company and its respective officers, directors,

representatives, agents, affiliates and associates and we accept no responsibility or liability for advising any investor

on whether such investor is eligible to acquire Equity Shares offered in the Issue.

Under current Indian regulations and practice, the sale of shares by a non-resident to a resident of India is permitted

if the sale is made on a recognised stock exchange in India through a stock broker registered with the Stock Exchange

or a merchant banker registered with SEBI at the market price or in accordance with the terms of the pricing guidelines

and reporting requirements specified by the RBI in case of an off-market transfer. If the shares are thinly traded, then

certain other pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by RBI must be followed. Any transfer of Equity

Shares by a non-resident that is not under the automatic route will require the prior approval of the RBI. The conversion

of the Rupee proceeds from such sale into foreign currency and the repatriation of that foreign currency from India

under certain circumstances could require the RBI’s approval. Approvals required from the RBI or any other

government authority may not be obtained on terms favourable to a non-resident investor or at all. Prior to the

repatriation of sale proceeds, certain filings must be made with an authorised dealer (bank) remitting the proceeds

along with certain documents, including an undertaking from the resident buyer in the prescribed form stating that the

pricing guidelines have been adhered to and a no objection/tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority or

a chartered accountant. If any approvals are required from the RBI or any other government authority, they may not

be obtained on terms favourable to a non-resident investor or at all. We cannot guarantee that any approval, if required,

will be obtained in a timely manner or at all. Due to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in our

Equity Shares may be prevented from realising gains during periods of price increases or limiting losses during periods

of price declines.

9. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control over us because of anti-takeover provisions under

Indian law.

Indian law and regulations applicable to us may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of us,

even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or

would otherwise be beneficial to you. These provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions

involving actual or threatened change in control of us. Under the Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined

as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a

company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to

ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from

attempting to take control of us. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of us would result in the purchase of our

Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to our stakeholders, it is possible

that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of the Takeover Regulations. For further details,

please see section titled “The Securities Market of India” on page 184.

10. Our ability to borrow money in foreign markets may be constrained by Indian law, which may adversely affect

our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As an Indian company, we are permitted to borrow in overseas markets subject to various conditions stipulated by the

regulators or Government of India. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources and hence could constrain

our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure

you that the required approvals will be granted to us without onerous conditions, if at all. Limitations on raising foreign

62

debt may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

11. Differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as IFRS and Indian GAAP, which

may be material to investors' assessments of our financial condition.

Our Company has prepared the annual financial statements under Ind AS for the Fiscal 2019 and 2020 as required

under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. We have adopted Ind AS with effect from April 1, 2016. In doing so,

we were required to present comparative numbers for the previous Fiscal 2016, which were also prepared in

compliance with Ind AS. As such, the date of transition to Ind AS for us is April 1, 2015, being the opening balance

sheet of the comparative previous Fiscal. Given that Ind AS differs in many respects from Indian GAAP (previous

GAAP), our historical financial statements relating to any period prior to Fiscal 2016 may not be comparable to the

audited consolidated and standalone financial statements prepared under Ind AS.

Ind AS and other accounting standards like IFRS differ in certain respects including first time adoption choices

available. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of IFRS on the financial data included in this Letter of Offer,

nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of Ind AS with IFRS. Accordingly, the degree

to which the financial statements prepared under earlier Indian GAAP, Ind AS and other accounting principles, such

as IFRS, will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader's level of familiarity with these

standards. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented

in this Letter of Offer should accordingly be limited.

12. Rights of shareholders under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Our Articles, the instructions issued by the RBI and Indian law govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating

to these matters and the validity of corporate procedures, Directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’

rights may differ from those that would apply to a financial institution or corporate entity in another jurisdiction.

Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries

or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as one of our shareholders than as a

shareholder of a financial institution or corporate entity in other jurisdictions. For further details, please see section

titled “Description of the Equity Shares” on page 187.

C. Risks Relating to the Issue

1. We cannot guarantee that our Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the Stock Exchanges

in a timely manner, or at all.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares issued in the

offering will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading

will require all relevant documents authorising the issuing of the Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a

failure or delay in obtaining these approvals from the Stock Exchanges, which in turn could delay the listing of our

Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining these approvals would restrict an investor’s

ability to dispose of the Equity Shares.

2. Your ability to acquire and sell Equity Shares offered in the Issue is restricted by the distribution, solicitation

and transfer restrictions set forth in this Placement Document.

No actions have been taken to permit a public offering of the Equity Shares offered in the Issue in any jurisdiction. As

such, your ability to acquire Equity Shares offered in the Issue is restricted by the distribution and solicitation

restrictions set forth in this Placement Document. For further details, please see section titled “Selling Restrictions”

on page 174. Furthermore, the Equity Shares offered in the Issue are subject to restrictions on transferability and

resale. For further details, please see section titled “Transfer Restrictions” on page 182. You are required to inform

yourself about and observe these restrictions. Our representatives, our agents and us will not be obligated to recognise

any acquisition, transfer or resale of the Equity Shares offered in the Issue made other than in compliance with

applicable law.

3. An investor will not be able to sell any of the Equity Shares subscribed in this Issue other than on a recognised

Indian stock exchange for a period of 12 months from the date of the allotment of the Equity Shares.

63

The Equity Shares subscribed for in this Allotment are subject to restrictions on transfers. Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR

Regulations, for a period of 12 months from the date of the Allotment in the Issue, QIBs subscribing to the Equity

Shares in the Allotment may only sell their Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges 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. Further, allotments made to FPIs, FVCIs, VCFs and AIFs in the Allotment are

subject to the rules and regulations that are applicable to each of them, respectively, including in relation to lock-in

requirements. Specifically, investments by FVCIs are required to be made in compliance with Schedule 1 of FEMA.

This may affect the liquidity of the Equity Shares purchased by investors and it is uncertain whether these restrictions

will adversely impact the market price of the Equity Shares purchased by investors.

4. After this Issue, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile.

The Issue Price was determined by us in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager, based on Bids received

in compliance with Chapter VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and it may not necessarily be indicative of the market

price of the Equity Shares after this Issue is completed.

The trading price of our Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue due to a variety of factors, including our results

of operations and the performance of our business, competitive conditions, general economic, political and social

factors, the performance of the Indian and global economy and significant developments in India’s Fiscal regime,

volatility in the Indian and global securities market, performance of our competitors, the Indian financial services

industry and the perception in the market about investments in the financial services industry, changes in the estimates

of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts and announcements by us or others regarding contracts,

acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments. In addition, if the stock markets in general

experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline for reasons unrelated to

our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our Equity Shares might also decline in

reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of

these factors, among others, could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Equity Shares will be sustained after this Issue, or that

the price at which the Equity Shares have historically traded will correspond to the price at which the Equity Shares

are offered in this Issue or the price at which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.

5. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupee and other currencies could have an adverse effect on the

value of our Equity Shares in those currencies, independent of our operating results.

Our Equity Shares are quoted in Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of our Equity Shares will

be paid in Rupees. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time it takes to undertake such

conversion may reduce the net dividend to investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates

during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay

in subsidiary approvals that may be required for the sale of equity shares, may reduce the net proceeds received by

investors. The exchange rate between the Rupee and other currencies (such as, the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Pound

Sterling and the Singapore dollar) has changed substantially in the last two decades and could fluctuate substantially

in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the value of our Equity Shares and returns from our Equity Shares

in foreign currency terms, independent of our operating results.

6. Any future issuance of the Equity Shares by us or sales of the Equity Shares by any of our significant

shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Further, holders of Equity Shares

could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and could thereby suffer

future dilution of their percentage ownership of the outstanding equity shares.

Under the Companies Act, a company incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity shares pre-emptive rights

to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing percentage ownership before the

issuance of any new equity shares, unless their pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution

by holders of three-quarters of the shares who have voted on the resolution. However, if the law of the jurisdiction

that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering document or

registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-

emptive rights unless we make such a filing. We may elect not to file a registration statement in relation to pre-emptive

rights otherwise available by Indian law to you. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted

64

in respect of the Equity Shares, you may suffer future dilution of your ownership position and your proportional

interests in us would be reduced.

There is no restriction on our ability to issue Equity Shares or our major shareholders’ ability to dispose of their Equity

Shares, and we cannot assure you that we will not issue Equity Shares or that any major shareholder will not dispose

of, encumber, or pledge, its Equity Shares. Future issuances of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and may

adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the then

current trading price of our Equity Shares. Sales of Equity Shares by our major shareholders may also adversely affect

the trading price of our Equity Shares.

7. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of the equity shares in an Indian

company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of listed Equity Shares on a stock exchange

which is subjected to securities transaction tax (“STT”) held for more than 12 months will be subject to capital gains

tax in India. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Rights Equity Shares are

sold. Any gain realized on the sale of the Rights Equity Shares held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident,

which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long-

term capital gains tax at higher rate with indexation benefits in India. Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed

Rights Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange

and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to short term capital gains tax at a relatively higher rate as

compared to the transaction where STT has been paid in India.

Capital gains arising from the sale of the Rights Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where

the exemption is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is 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 jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Rights Equity Shares.

8. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that 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 the Equity Shares between non-

residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines

and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of the Equity Shares is not in compliance with such

pricing guidelines or reporting requirements and does not fall under any of the specified exceptions, then the prior

approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale

of the Equity Shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no-

objection or a tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. 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.

These foreign investment restrictions may adversely affect the liquidity and free transferability of the Equity Shares

and could result in an adverse effect on the price of the Equity Shares.

9. Investors will be subject to market risks until the Equity Shares credited to the investor’s demat account are

listed and permitted to trade.

Investors can start trading the Equity Shares allotted to them only after they have been credited to an investor’s demat

account, are listed and permitted to trade. Since the Equity Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchanges,

investors will be subject to market risk from the date they pay for the Equity Shares to the date when trading approval

is granted for the same. Further, there can be no assurance that the Equity Shares allocated to an investor will be

credited to the investor’s demat account or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The gross proceeds of the Issue will be approximately Rs. 50,000 lakhs. After deducting the Issue expenses including

fees and commission of approximately Rs. 457.13 lakhs, the net proceeds of the Issue will be approximately Rs.

49,542.87 lakhs (“Net Proceeds”). Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, our Company intends

to use the net proceeds of the Issue towards partial funding of the phase-1 of our proposed capex/ expansion from 3.97

MTPA to 12.2 MTPA.

Our main objects clause and objects incidental or ancillary to the main objects clause of our Memorandum of

Association enables us to undertake the objects contemplated by us in this Issue.

The Net Proceeds are proposed to be utilised towards the following:

1. Enhancement of production of copper ore at Malanjkhand Copper Mine to 5.0 MTPA with change in

technology from the opencast mine to underground mine and expansion of beneficiation plant to 5.00 MTPA

including paste filing plant and allied facilities at Malanjkhand Copper Project;

2. Re-opening and expansion of the Kendadih mine at the Indian Copper Complex to produce approximately 0.45

MTPA of copper ore;

3. Expansion of the Surda mine at Indian Copper Complex to produce approximately 0.90 MTPA of copper ore

and allied facilities;

4. Expansion of the Khetri Copper Mine at Khetri Copper Complex by deepening of shafts to produce

approximately 1.5 MTPA of copper ore and allied facilities; and

5. Development of Banwas deposit at Khetri Copper Complex to produce approximately 0.6 MTPA of copper

ore.

Our company has awarded EPC contracts to third parties to undertake each of the abovementioned capex/ expansions.

Set out below are the details of the proposed capex / expansion projects proposed to be funded from the Net Proceeds,

including the break-up of the costs of the proposed capex/ expansion, amount already deployed by the Company

towards such proposed capex/expansion and the proposed deployment from the Net Proceeds towards the proposed

capex/ expansion: (₹ in lakhs)

# An amount of Rs. 19,426.00 lakhs has been spent towards variation due to change in scope of work and escalation

costs as per the EPC contracts. (1)Subject to the finalisation of the Issue Price and Net Proceeds. To be updated in the Placement Document

Our management will have the flexibility to deploy the Net Proceeds towards any or all of the abovementioned projects

in the manner they deem fit, in terms of the approval dated August 1, 2018 from the Cabinet Committee on Economic

Affairs. Given the dynamic nature of our business, we may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment

on account of a variety of factors such as our financial condition, escalation costs as set out in the EPC contracts,

business strategy and external factors such as market conditions including the COVID-19 pandemic, competitive

environment and interest or exchange rate fluctuations, changes in design and configuration of the project, increase in

input costs of construction materials and labour costs, logistics and transport costs, incremental preoperative expenses,

taxes and duties, interest and finance charges, engineering procurement and construction costs, working capital

margin, regulatory costs, environmental factors and other external factors which may not be within the control of our

management. This may entail rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements, including

the expenditure for a particular purpose, at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable

law. In case of a shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds or an increase in the total estimated cost

of the Objects, business considerations may require us to explore a range of options including utilising our internal

accruals and seeking additional debt from existing and future lenders. We believe that such alternate arrangements

would be available to fund any such shortfalls. Further, in case of variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked

for the purposes set forth above, increased fund requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus

funds, if any, available in respect of the other purposes for which funds are being raised in the Issue. To the extent our

Company is unable to utilise any portion of the Net Proceeds towards the aforementioned objects, per the estimated

scheduled of deployment specified above, our Company shall deploy the Net Proceeds in subsequent Fiscals towards

the aforementioned Objects.

Means of finance

The total estimated cost for the capex/ expansion of the abovementioned projects is approximately Rs. 270,200.00

lakhs. We intend to fund the abovementioned capex/ expansion projects as follows: (Rs. in lakhs)

*An amount of Rs. 19,426.00 lakhs has been spent towards variation due to change in scope of work and escalation

We intend to fund the balance amount required to be spent toward the capex/ expansion by way of internal accruals

and debts (including loans and bonds). The amounts and timing of any expenditure will depend on, among other

factors, the amount of cash generated by our operations, competitive and market developments and the availability of

acquisition or investment opportunities on terms acceptable to us. In accordance with the decision of our Board, our

management will have significant flexibility in applying the Net Proceeds of this Issue towards any or all of the

abovementioned projects in the manner they deem fit, in terms of the approval dated August 1, 2018 from the Cabinet

Committee on Economic Affairs.

Interim Use of Net Proceeds

Pending utilisation for the purposes described above, we intend to temporarily invest Net Proceeds in creditworthy

instruments, including money market, debt mutual funds, deposits with banks and inter corporate loans. Such

investments would be in accordance with the investment policies as approved by the Board from time to time and all

applicable laws and regulations.

In accordance with applicable laws, we undertake to not utilize proceeds from the Issue unless Allotment is made and

the corresponding return of Allotment is filed with the RoC, and the final listing and trading approvals are received

from each of the Stock Exchanges.

DIVIDENDS

In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, dividend shall be paid out of (a) relevant Fiscal’s

profit, after providing for depreciation in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law; or (b) net profit from

any previous Fiscal(s), after providing for depreciation and remaining undistributed; or (c) out of (a) and (b) mentioned

above.

The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management by an Office Memorandum (F. No. 5/2/2016-Policy),

dated May 27, 2016, issued “Guidelines on Capital Restructuring of Central Public Sector Enterprises” (“CPSE

Capital Restructuring Guidelines”). As per CPSE Capital Restructuring Guidelines, all central public sector

enterprises are required to pay a minimum annual dividend of 30% of profit after tax or 5% of the net-worth, whichever

is higher, subject to the maximum dividend permitted under the extant legal provisions.

Our Company has adopted a dividend policy at its meeting held on December 13, 2016. However, the declaration and

payment of dividends on our Equity Shares will be recommended by our Board and approved by our shareholders, at

their discretion, in accordance with the provisions of the Articles and the Companies Act. Further, the dividends, if

any, will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to our earnings, guidelines issued by the Department

of Public Enterprise (“DPE”), capital requirements and overall financial position of our Company. In addition, our

ability to pay dividends may be impacted by a number of factors, including the results of operations, financial

condition, contractual restrictions, and restrictive covenants under the loan or financing arrangements we may enter

into. Our Company may also, from time to time, pay interim dividends.

The following table details the dividend declared by our Company on the Equity Shares for the Fiscals 2020, 2019

Overview












district, Rajasthan and the Indian Copper Complex (“ICC”)at Ghatsila in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand – each









Certain Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations are affected by the following factors:

• LME Price for Copper and TcRc Charges: The prices we sell our copper concentrate at and the prices we charge

for our copper products are based on the LME price for copper. The average selling price of our copper

concentrate, as presented in copper metal-in-concentrate, was Rs. 4.01 lakh per tonne for Fiscal 2020 and Rs. 4.15

78

lakh per tonne for Fiscal 2019. The average selling price of our refined copper products was approximately Rs.

4.46 lakh per tonne for Fiscal 2020 and Rs. 4.64 lakh per tonne for Fiscal 2019.

We sell our copper concentrate based on the LME prices minus the prevailing TcRc charges. We sell our refined

copper products at a premium to LME price for the relevant quotation period, which is affected by global demand

and supply of refined copper and prevailing freight costs. We price refined copper at the landed cost of imported

metal that reflects LME, regional premiums, import duties and current exchange rates. LME copper prices have

been volatile in the past. Sharp declines in the LME copper price have caused us to suspend mining, smelting and

refining operations in the past and were largely responsible or us undergoing government restructuring in the past.

Consequently, our revenue and results of operation have been and will continue to be subject to the effects of

fluctuations in the LME copper prices. We expect this volatility for the LME copper prices to continue to affect

our profitability.

• Production volume/Sales volume: We generate most of our revenue by (i) mining and selling copper concentrate

to our customers; and (ii) refining our copper concentrate into refined copper products and selling the refined

copper products. We produced 39.68 lakh tonnes of Copper Ore in Fiscal 2020 and produced 41.22 lakh tonnes

of Copper Ore in Fiscal 2019 which has been the highest in the past 21 years for our Company. We produced

26502 tonnes and 32,439 tonnes of metal in concentrate in Fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively and sold 12669

tonnes and 21,953 tonnes of metal in concentrate in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. We produced 5340

tonnes and 16,215 tonnes of Cathode (including toll smelted cathode) in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively

and sold 1492 tonnes and 2,564 tonnes of Cathode (including toll smelted cathode) in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal

2019, respectively. We further produced 4108 tonnes and 13,866 tonnes of wire rod in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal

2019, respectively and sold 4247 tonnes and 13,756 tonnes of wire rod in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019,

respectively.

With the large imbalance between copper concentrate production in India and the refining capacity within India,

we believe that our copper concentrate sales volume will be largely dependent upon our production capacity. We

plan to expand from our current production level of approximately 3.97 MTPA as of March 31, 2020 to an

expected mining capacity of at least 12.2 MTPA in Phase-I and 20.2 MTPA in Phase-II.

• Production Cost/Cost of Sales: An important factor that affects our profitability is our production costs/cost of

sales. Our cost of sales is comprised of our materials spares and components, employees’ remuneration and

benefits, other expenses of manufacturing, administration, selling and distribution, mining royalties and

amortization of mine development expenditures.

Our average total cost of product sold per tonne for copper metal-in-concentrate was Rs. 3.32 lakhs, Rs. 2.61

lakhs and Rs. 2.27 lakhs, for the for Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The key factors impacting our

production costs for copper concentrate include variations in production volume, and the cost of power, fuel and

labour. The key factors impacting our production costs for refined copper products include variations in

production volume, and the cost of power, fuel and labour.

• Duties and Taxes: Our operations in India are subject to various applicable duties, incentives, royalties and taxes

and as a result, are significantly affected by changes in import duties, export incentives and taxes. The pricing of

copper concentrate as well as refined copper products in India are determined with reference to landed cost of

imports and customs duties would influence our average selling prices and hence our profitability.

• Import Duties: The import of refined copper products in India currently attracts a basic duty of 5%. The customs

duty on imported refined copper products was reduced in stages from 35% in 2002 to the current level of 5%.

The basic import duty on copper concentrate was also brought down from 5% in 2002 to the current level of 2.5%

effective March 1, 2011. Imports in India also attract an additional surcharge of 10% of the applicable duties.

Though the import duty rates have been reduced substantially over the years, the Government of India may reduce

import duties even further and the timing and extent of such reductions cannot be predicted. Any such reduction

will have a direct impact on domestic pricing and profitability of our operations.

• Taxes and Royalties: Our results of operations are affected by the income tax we pay on our profits and, to a

lesser extent, on dividend distributions. Income tax on Indian companies is currently charged at a statutory rate

of 25.168%, including a surcharge of 10% and health & education cess of 4% and higher education cess of nil%.

The Indian corporate tax rate and surcharges thereon were 34.944% including basic rate of 30%, surcharge of

79

12% and Health & Education cess 4%, for Fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2019 & 2018 the total rate was 34.608%

consisting of basic rate of 30%, surcharge of 12% and Education cess 2% & secondary higher education cess of

1% . We are also subject to other government royalties and taxes. We pay royalties on the copper ore we mine to

the respective local State Government based upon volume of production in the particular State. The Government

of India can change the amount of the royalty, but cannot do so more than once every three years. Presently, we

pay a royalty of 4.62% and in addition DMF of 30% of royalty and 2% NMET on royalty of the value of the

metal contained in the ore mined, based on LME prices.

• Capacity Expansion: One of our key strategies is to expand our copper mining capacity. We are in the process

of expanding our mining capacities from approximately 3.97 MTPA as on March 31, 2020 to 12.2 MTPA in

phase –I (under implementation) and subsequently to 20.2 million tons per annum in phase-II This expansion plan

includes (i) development of underground mine under existing open cast mine at Malanjkhand; (ii) expanding our

existing mines, namely Khetri, Kolihan and Surda; (iii) reopening some of our mines that were closed in the past

namely Kendadih and Rakha; and (iv) establishing new mines/mining blocks, namely Banwas, Chapri, Sideshwar

and Dhobani mine. Upon completion of these expansion projects, we expect that copper concentrate, rather than

refined copper products, will be our primary product. Accordingly, we expect to derive our revenue primarily

from the sale of copper concentrate. After the completion of our expansion plans, we expect to benefit from

increased economies of scale and improved efficiency, which will have a positive impact on our gross margins.

However, these expansions are also expected to increase our depreciation and mine development expenditure

amortization expenses and may also increase our interest expense should we need to finance these expansion

initiatives with debt. The completion dates for these expansion projects are estimates and may be subject to delay

as a result of a number of factors, many of which are out of our control. See “Risk Factors” on page 40.

• Significant Dependence on a single customer- In Fiscal 2020, we sold all of our surplus copper concentrate to

primarily one of these major refined copper producers in India. Through the planned expansion of our mining

capacities, we expect that copper concentrate, rather than refined copper products, will be our primary product in

the future. We expect that we will continue to sell most or all of our copper concentrate to this large refined copper

producer in India, where our cost advantages are most prominent. A significant downturn in the business or

financial condition of this customer could adversely affect our results of operations. If our relationship with this

customer deteriorates or is terminated in the future, we may be required to seek new customers within or outside

India. In the event that we are required to sell our copper concentrate to international refined copper producers,

our cost advantages would be less pronounced and our results of operations and financial condition could be

adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention from the books of accounts maintained under

accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and in accordance with the

Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Companies Act, 2013.

Application of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS)

The Company adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) from April 1,2016 and accordingly the financial

statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles as notified by MCA

under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (“Ind AS Rules”), as amended and other relevant

provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Company has adopted all the Ind AS as applicable and relevant to the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying

disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could

result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future

80

periods. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if

material their effects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.

Current and Non-current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset

are treated as current by the company when:

a) its expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;

b) it holds the assets primarily for the purpose of trading;

c) it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting date; or

d) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Except the above, all other assets are classified as Non-current.

A liability is treated as current by the company when:

a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating

cycle;

b) it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

c) it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

d) the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

e) it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after

the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement

by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Except the above, all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined taking

into account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses

and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of Products

An entity shall account for a sale contract with a customer only when all of the following criteria are met:

(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary

business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;

(b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred;

(c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods to be transferred;

(d) the contract has commercial substance i.e the risk, ownership, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows

etc is expected to change as a result of the contract; and

(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods that

will be transferred to the customer.

81

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri

and Malanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per

standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual.

This is as per consistent practice followed by the company.

Sale of Services

Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome

of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction

shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at

the end of the reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer’s deposits unless the above conditions for revenue

recognition are met.

Other Operating Revenues

a. Sale of Scrap

Sale of Scrap is accounted for on delivery of material.

b. Interest from Customers

In case of credit sales,interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on accrual basis.

c. Interest from Contractors against mobilisation advance for mining operations

Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for on accrual

basis.

d. Penalty and Liquidated Damages

Penalty and liquidated damages are accounted for as and when these are realised by the company as per contract terms.

Other Income

a. Claims

Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from Government

towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim and

that can be measured reliably.

b. Dividend and Interest from Investments

Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive the

dividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of

income can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the

economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

c. Profit on Sale of Investment

Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference

between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.

d.Provisions not required written back

Provisions/Liabilities created from business activities in earlier years no longer required are accounted for.

82

e. Others

Any other income is recognised on accrual basis.

Employees Benefit

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered

service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit

method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement,

comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on

plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit

recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other

comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit

or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest

is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

i. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, etc.);

ii. Net interest expense or income; and

iii. Re-measurement.

The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘employee

benefits expense’.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or

surplus in the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value

of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the

plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer

of the termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick

leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in

exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the

benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the

estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up

to the reporting date.

Deficit in Provident Fund

Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust

is accounted for as a charge to Revenue.

Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a

substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All

other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses

83

calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing

of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing

costs

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented

in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax

Act 1961. Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the

reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the

financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities

are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all

deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which

those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent

that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be

recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the

liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted

by the end of the reporting period.

Current and Deferred Tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Property Plant and Equipments (PPE)

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an

item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and

rebates.

ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of

operating in the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is

located, the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of

having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that

period.

The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After

recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated

impairment losses.

Pending reconciliation/receipt of the final bills against capital items, capitalization is done on the basis of cost booked

and depreciation is charged accordingly. Price differences, if any, are adjusted in the year of finalization of bills.

84

In respect of expenditure during construction/development of a new unit/project in a new location, all direct capital

expenditure as well as all indirect expenditure incidentals to construction are capitalized allocating to various items of

PPE on an appropriate basis. Expansion programme involving construction concurrently run with normal production

activities in an existing unit, all direct capital expenditure in relation to such expansion are capitalized but indirect

expenditure are charged to revenue. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of

qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes

substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.

Expenses incurred for implementation of new projects are carried forward against respective projects till execution.

Expenses rendered in fructuous projects abandoned subsequently are provided for in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

Physical verification of PPE is conducted every year so that all the units/offices are covered once in a block of three

years interval. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of

accounts in the year of identification.

Depreciation and Amortization

The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and

Equipment (PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.

The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C

of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the

company, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-

end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated

separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are ‘Put to Use’ till the date of sale

and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual

value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the

continued use of the asset. Certain consumable items of small value whose useful life is very limited are directly

charged to revenue in the year of purchase.

From the date Ind AS came into effect, the carrying amount of an asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life

of the asset as per estimate of remaining useful life. Wherever, the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the carrying

amount is recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings after retaining the residual value.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired

in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets

are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) and

accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related

expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which

the expenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the

conditions stipulated in “Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset” are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as

either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed

for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and

the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting

period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits

embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as

changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the

statement of profit and loss.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date

and its useful life is reviewed in each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to

support an indefinite useful life estimate.

85

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net

disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Intangible Assets other than Software are amortized over estimated useful life which is equivalent to license period,

generally not more than 5 years.

Cost of Software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal right to

use with a nil residual value. Otherwise the cost of software will be charged in the year of incurrence.

Capital Work in Progress

Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work –in-progress and are carried at cost, less any

recognized impairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category

of property, plant and equipment.

Mine Development Expenditure

In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent

development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineable

ore reserves estimated from time to time.

In case of working mines, where development activities are going on simultaneously: Expenses are apportioned

between capital and revenue on the basis of in-house technical estimates.

In respect of open cast mines : The expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same is

depleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodically

based on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines.

Subsequently, If any ore is reclaimed from overburden, the same is included in inventory at a value based on opening

rate of mine development expenditure with a corresponding credit in Mine development expenditure.

Expenditure incurred on development of new deposits are capital in nature and is included in mine development

expenditure. If subsequently the development activities are found to be not viable, the expenditure on such

development work included in mine development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is decided to

abandon the project.

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related

to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the

mine. If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the company remains the owner of the mines, the

unamortized Mine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in

the books of accounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated

remaining life of that mine.

Overhauling Expenses

Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit &

Loss in the year of incurrence.

Mine Closure Expenditure

Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated and

Mine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to

Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be

recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial

classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and

86

liabilities in the group) are to be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should

be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as

permitted by Ind AS 105.

Inventories

Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable value

and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the

unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when

issued are charged off to revenue.

Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to

the unit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc. Ore is

valued at cost since its realisable value cannot be ascertained.

The value of slag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where the

said products have been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent value

of concentrate) and net realizable value.

The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the

yearend London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery

and the treatment and refining charges.

The inventories out of inter-unit transfers (material in transit) at the close of the year are valued and accounted in the

books of the transferor unit on the basis of cost plus transportation to the transferee unit or net realisable value

whichever is lower.

Imported materials are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost. In the event where

final price is not determined valuation is made on provisional cost. Variations are accounted for in the year of

finalization.

Provision is made in the accounts every year, for non-moving stores and spares (other than insurance spares) which

have not moved for more than five years. Insurance spares are fully provided for on the expiry of the life of the relevant

Property Plant and Equipments.

Physical verification of Semi-Finished and In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is conducted departmentally in all

the units at reasonable intervals during the year by a duly approved committee. Also, physical stock verification of

WIP and Finished Goods is undertaken by a duly approved committee at the end of every financial year alongwith an

independent agency once in a block of three years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical verification is carried out

by external agencies once in every year covering all the units. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical

verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification

Government Grants

All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over the

period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.

Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets)

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be

impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable

amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of

the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately

in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment

loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the

estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future

cash flows have not been adjusted.

87

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is

increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed

the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-

generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the

relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a

revaluation increase.

Foreign Exchange Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the

rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates

prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-

translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured

in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign currency monetary items (except overdue recoverable where realizability is uncertain) are converted using

the closing rate as defined in the Ind AS-21- The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Non-monetary items

are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The exchange difference gain/loss is recognized in

the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016,liability in foreign currency

loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of

changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in

paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans

of the company is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable

capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in ‘Equity Component of Foreign Currency

asset/liability Account’ and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or

expense in each of such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind As 21.

Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event

and it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the

amount of the obligation.

Wherever no reliable estimate could be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent

liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not require

an outflow of resources.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is

remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in the General Notes forming part of the accounts.

Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such

assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if

it’s virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be

recognised in the financial statements.

Leasing

Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to lessee

are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Depreciation expenses are recorded

if asset held under finance lease is depreciable. Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit

and loss if they are not directly attributable to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the

88

company’s general policy on borrowing costs. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-

line basis over the lease term.

Financial Instruments

Non Derivative Financial Instruments

(i) Initial Recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial

assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the

acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately

in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent Recognition

a. Financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income

or fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method

except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss

for the period.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly

or not since initial recognition.

If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance

is measured for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses. If the credit risk on

that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for a

financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date is

recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.

Events Occurring after the Reporting Period

The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after the

reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However

where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the

existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on

Accounts.

Dividends

89

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting and

interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board of

Directors.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with an

original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

Description of Income and Expenditure Items

Income

Our total income consists of the following items:

• Revenue from Operations

• Other income

Revenue from operations. Revenue from operations comprises income sale of products in the domestic and export

markets and other operating income. Products sold include copper concentrate and refined copper and by-products,

including anode slime, copper sulphate and sulphuric acid. Our operations can be broadly divided into two categories:

(i) copper ore mining, which includes copper concentrate production, and (ii) refined copper production. Currently,

we sell (i) copper concentrates, (ii) refined copper products principally in the form of copper cathodes and continuous

cast wire rods, and (iii) other by products generated through the copper manufacturing process, including anode slime

containing gold and silver, copper sulphate and sulphuric acid. We sell our copper concentrate pursuant to global

tenders (i.e. auction) resulting in short term contracts, at prices which are based on the LME monthly average copper

prices. Copper concentrate prices are quotes as LME price minus TcRc charges. Therefore, the winning bidder is the

one who quotes the smallest TcRc charge. We sell our refined copper products off-the-shelf at a price equal to an

average LME copper cash settlement price over a certain period, plus a premium that we set on a monthly basis. Our

customers pick the period over which the average LME copper cash settlement price is based – weekly, fortnightly or

monthly. For our by-products, we sell our anode slime through the global tendering/auctioning process, based on

monthly average LME price for gold and silver content in anode slime. For copper sulphate and sulphuric acid, we

sell it off-the-shelf and set our prices on a monthly basis.

Other operating income includes revenues from sale of scrap, interest received from customers, interest received from

contractors against mobilisation advances for mining operations, provisions not required to be written back and

exchange rate variations.

Other income. Our other income consists primarily of interest on loans, advances and deposits, profits on sale of assets

and investments and miscellaneous income. Interest on loans and advances is the interest received on loans provided

to employees for purchase of house, land car and so on. Interest on deposits is the interest received on deposits with

the respective state electricity boards. Miscellaneous income includes income we receive from various sources,

including rent, electricity charges and vehicle charges recovered from employees and others, on behalf of whom we

make payments for such items and then subsequently recover from them.

Expenses

Our total expenses consists of the following items:

• Cost of materials consumed;

• Changes in inventories of finished goods, semi-finished and work in progress;

• Employee benefits expenses;

• Finance costs;

90

• Depreciation and amortisation expense; and

• General, Administration and Other expenses.

Cost of materials consumed. Cost of materials comprises among other things of Rs. 483.29 lakhs of imported raw

material like copper anodes and blister copper for GCP.

Changes in inventories of finished, semi-finished and work in progress. Changes in inventories of finished, semi-

finished and work in progress, reflect, change in opening balance and closing balance of work in progress.

Employee benefit expenses. Employee benefit expenses comprises among other things employee remuneration and

benefits such as salaries and other benefits, contributions to provident funds and other funds and staff welfare

expenses.

Finance costs. Finance costs includes interest on cash credit facilities, short term working capital loans and long term

loans availed by us.

Depreciation and amortisation expense. Depreciation expenses incurred by us is a result from the depreciation of

buildings, plants and machinery, furniture, fixtures, motor vehicles, computers, office equipment and certain other

items. Mine development expenditure assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic lives as

Amortisation expense.

General, Administration and Other expenses. Other expenses costs of stores, spares and tools consumed, consumption

of power, fuel and water, royalty, cess and decretal amounts, costs of sub-contracting, handling and transportation

costs, repairs & maintenance costs of buildings, plant and machinery and other administrative expenses such as rent,

insurance premiums, security expenses, taxes, consultancy charges, hire charges and other general expenses.

Our total income decreased to Rs. 88,881.47 lakhs in Fiscal 2020 from Rs. 1,85,291.59 lakhs in Fiscal 2019, a decrease

of 52.03%. This was primarily because of a decrease in our revenue from operations. Our revenue from operations

decreased to Rs. 83,185.25 lakhs in Fiscal 2020 from Rs. 1,81,625.72 lakhs in Fiscal 2019, a decrease of 54.20% due

to decrease in production of metal in concentrate from our mines.

93

Total Expenditure

Our total expenditure including depreciation and amortisation expenses decreased to Rs.1,42,652.90 lakhs in Fiscal

2020 from Rs. 1,62,256.95 lakhs in Fiscal 2019, a decrease of 12.08%, which was generally in line with a

corresponding decrease in production in Fiscal 2020.

Cost of materials consumed. Cost of materials consumed mainly comprised cost of raw materials such as imported

raw materials at GCP. Our cost of materials consumed decreased by 90.32% from Rs. 6,493.41 lakhs in Fiscal 2019

to Rs. 628.24 lakhs in Fiscal 2020, due to less imported materials purchased for GCP.

Changes in inventories of finished goods, semi-finished and work in progress. There was a decrease in changes in

inventories of work in progress from Rs. 14,336.74 lakhs for the Fiscal 2019 to Rs.(5,113.58) lakhs for Fiscal 2020.

The change was due to one time adjustment of closing stock which is partly compensated by decrease in sales volume.

Employee benefit expense. Our employee benefit expenses decreased by 17.97% from Rs. 31,651.48 lakhs for Fiscal

2019 to Rs. 25,962.31 lakhs for Fiscal 2020. This was primarily due to superannuation of manpower in the normal

course of business.

Finance costs. Our finance costs increased by 8.94% from Rs. 5,546.10 lakhs for Fiscal 2019 to Rs. 6,041.89 lakhs

for Fiscal 2019. This was partly on account of increase in working capital and term loans.

Depreciation and amortisation expense. Depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 14.13% from Rs.

25,288.75 lakhs for Fiscal 2019 to Rs. 28,861.08 lakhs for Fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily due to adjusting

balance unamortised mine development expenditure on account of MCP’s remaining life of open cast mine coming to

an end.

General, Administration and other expenses. Our general, administration and other expenses increased by 9.29% from

Rs. 78,940.47 lakhs for Fiscal 2019 to Rs. 86,272.96 lakhs for Fiscal 2020 mainly due to provision of mill scat and

lean ore amounting to Rs. 18,331.80 lakhs which is partly compensated by decrease in other expenses.


Our profit before tax decreased by 333.44% from Rs. 23,034.64 lakhs for Fiscal 2019 to Rs. (53,771.43) lakhs for

Fiscal 2020 and our profit before tax margin (profit before tax as a percentage of total income) for the same periods

decreased from 12.43% to 60.50%.

Provision for taxation decreased by 62.91% from Rs. 8,461.02 lakhs for Fiscal 2019 to Rs. 3,138.01 lakhs for Fiscal

2020. Our provision for taxation decreased on account of decrease in our taxable income. Our net loss from

discontinued operations 15.06% decreased from Rs. (22.57) lakhs in Fiscal 2019 to Rs. (25.97) lakhs in Fiscal 2020.

Profit after tax

As a result of the above, we had a net loss for the same period of Rs. (56,935.41) lakhs in Fiscal 2020 as compared to

a net profit of Rs. 14,551.05 lakhs in Fiscal 2019, a decrease of 491.28%.

Fiscal 2019 Compared to Fiscal 2018

Total Income

Our total income increased to Rs. 1,85,291.59 in Fiscal 2019 from Rs. 1,74,697.44 lakhs in Fiscal 2018, an increase

of 6.06%. This was primarily because of an increase in our revenue from operations. Our revenue from operations

increased to Rs. 1,81,625.72 in Fiscal 2019 from Rs. 1,70,590.88 lakhs in Fiscal 2018 since there is an increase of

sales volume of export of copper concentrate from 7,564 CMT to 19,571 CMT and there is an additional sale of

copper reverts during Fiscal 2019.

Total Expenditure

94

Our total expenditure including depreciation and amortisation expenses increased to Rs. 1,62,256.95 lakhs in Fiscal

2019 from Rs. 1,62,493.90 lakhs in Fiscal 2018, a decrease of 0.15% due to less imported materials purchased for

copper. Our cost of materials consumed decreased by 84.21% from Rs. 41,138.01 lakhs in Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 6,493.41

lakhs in Fiscal 2019, mainly due to less purchase of imported raw materials for GCP during Fiscal year 2019.

inventories of work in progress from Rs. (724.65) lakhs for the Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 14,336.74 lakhs for Fiscal 2019.

The change was due to higher sales volume in Fiscal 2019.

Employee benefit expense. Our employee benefit expenses decreased by 3.46% from Rs. 32,788.84 lakhs for Fiscal

2018 to Rs. 31,651.48 lakhs for Fiscal 2019. This was primarily due to depletion in manpower on account of

superannuation.

Finance costs. Our finance costs increased by 160.55 % from Rs. 2,128.65 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 5,546.10 lakhs

for Fiscal 2019. This was partly on account of increase in the interest on cash credit from Rs. 533.62 in Fiscal 2018 to

Rs. 1,339.00 in Fiscal 2019 and interest on working capital term loans for business operations and other term loans

from Rs. 1,595.03 in Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 4,207.10 in Fiscal 2019.

Depreciation and amortisation expense. Depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 53.59 % from Rs.

16,465.25 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 25,288.75 lakhs for Fiscal 2019. This increase was primarily due to adjusting

balance unamortised mine development expenditure on account of MCP’s remaining life of open cast mine coming to

an end.

General, Administration and other expenses. Our general, administration and other expenses increased by 11.66%

from Rs. 70,697.80 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 78,940.47 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 on account of higher royalty, cess and

decretal amounts and contractual job for process and higher cost incurred on repairs and maintenance of machinery.


Our profit before tax increased by 88.75% from Rs. 12,203.54 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 23,034.64 lakhs for Fiscal

2019 and our profit before tax margin (profit before tax as a percentage of total income) for the same periods increased

from 6.99% to 12.43%.

Provision for taxation increased by 100.48% from Rs. 4,220.32 lakhs for Fiscal 2018 to Rs. 8,461.02 lakhs for Fiscal

2019. Our provision for taxation increased on account of increase in our taxable income. Our loss from discontinued

operations of 0.53% decreased from Rs. (22.69) lakhs in Fiscal 2018 to Rs. (22.57) lakhs in Fiscal 2019.

Profit after tax

As a result of the above, our profit after tax for the same period increased by 82.79% from Rs. 7,960.53 lakhs in Fiscal

2018 to Rs. 14,551.05 lakhs for Fiscal 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business, in particular our copper mining operations, is capital intensive. Our primary liquidity needs have been

to finance our operations, development of our operating mines and working capital needs. Our planned expansion

projects also will require a high level of expenditure. We have historically funded our capital expenditures through

internal cash flows and borrowings. In the future, we expect to fund our planned expansion projects through a

combination of internal cash flows, equity and debt financings.

Related Party Transactions

We have engaged in the past, and may engage in the future, in transactions with related parties, including with certain

key management personnel on an arm’s length basis. Such transactions would generally be for provision of services.

For details of our related party transactions, see “Financial Statements -Related Party Transactions” on page 204.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenue, profits and cash flows are significantly impacted by changes in the LME price of copper. We enter into

commodity hedging contracts to hedge a small part of our exposures of our copper business to LME copper price

fluctuations. The principal objectives of such hedging activity are to reduce volatility of future cash flows and to

increase predictability of future revenues. However, there is no assurance that these hedging activities will adequately

protect us from price fluctuations. In fact, currently available hedging products in India only provide a coverage

duration of no more than six months.

Interest Rate Risk

As on March 31, 2020, we had Rs. 40,000.00 lakhs in unsecured working capital term loans outstanding, all of which

was subject to floating interest rates. Floating rate debt exposes us to market risk as a result of changes in interest

rates. We expect to undertake debt obligations to support capital expenditures, working capital, and general corporate

purposes, as and when required. Upward fluctuations in interest rates increase the cost of new debt and interest cost

of outstanding variable rate borrowings and therefore increase the project cost. In addition, an increase in interest rates

may adversely affect our ability to service long-term debt and to finance development of new projects, all of which

may in turn adversely affect our results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Although most of our sales are made to domestic customers denominated in Rupees, our products are priced based on

the LME copper price, which is quoted in U.S. Dollars. Our presentation currency is also the Indian Rupee.

Furthermore, we produce and sell commodities that are typically priced by reference to U.S. Dollar prices, while a

majority of our costs for our Indian operations are incurred in Rupees. An appreciation of Rupee against the U.S.

Dollar would mean that our price in Rupee would decrease. The exchange rate between the Rupee and U.S. dollar has

98

fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. We bear the complete

risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the Rupee and the U.S. Dollar and do not totally hedge against

currency fluctuations. Any appreciation of Rupee against the U.S. Dollar may adversely affect our sales and our results

of operations.

Changes in accounting policies in the last three years

Accounting policy on the

Company’s Profits and Reserves

(As certified by the management)

March 31, 2019 01) Mine Closure Expenditure:

Upto financial year ended 31st March 2018,

financial implications towards final mine

closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules

were technically estimated and the

involvement, not being material, were charged

off on actual incurrence. In the Financial year

2018-19, such accounting policy on Mine

closure expenditure has been changed and

financial implications towards final mine

closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules

are technically estimated and Mine closure

reserve is created based on the estimated life

of mines over the period by charging the same

to statement of Profit & Loss.

Profit of the company has been

decreased by Rs. 163.00 lakh and

Mine closure reserve has been

created by the same amount.

02)Foreign Exchange Transactions: -

Upto Financial Year 2017-18, all liabilities in

foreign currency loans relating to acquisition

of fixed assets were converted using the

closing rate as defined in Ind-AS-21 and the

difference in exchange were recognized in

terms of exemptions given in paragraph D 13

AA of Appendix-D to Ind-AS-101, where the

effect of exchange differences on foreign

currency loans of the company was accounted

for by addition or deduction to the cost to the

assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital

assets and depreciated over the balance life of

the assets.

In the Financial Year 2018-19, such

accounting policy has been changed and now

only in case of Long Term Foreign currency

monetary items outstanding as of 31st March

2016, Liability in foreign currency loans

relating to acquisition of Fixed Assets is

converted using the closing rate as defined in

Ind-AS-21.

Further, unlike previous financial years, other

Long term foreign currency monetary items

are accumulated in Equity component of

foreign currency assets/ liabilities account and

amortized over the balance period of the

assets/ liabilities by recognition as income or

There is no effect in company’s

time and Long Term Loans amount

has been reduced by that amount for

such change in Accounting Policy.

expense in each of such periods as stated under

Para 29A of Ind-AS-21.

03. Physical verification of Semi-Finished and

In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is

conducted departmentally in all the units at

reasonable intervals during the year by a duly

approved committee. Also, physical stock

verification of WIP and Finished Goods is

undertaken by a duly approved committee at

the end of every financial year along with an

independent agency once in a block of three

years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical

verification is carried out by external agencies

once in every year covering all the units.

Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such

physical verification is duly adjusted in the

books of accounts in the year of identification.

There is no effect in company’s

Overview of the Indian Economy

India had a GDP, on a purchasing power parity basis, of approximately U.S $9.16 trillion in 2019. The services sector

was the largest contributor to the country’s GDP at 61.5% in 2016, while the share of agriculture and industry was

15.4% and 23%, respectively. (Source: CIA World Factbook).

India’s real GDP is expected to grow to 11.5% in 2021 making India the only major economy of the world to register

a double-digit growth in 2021.

Global Copper Industry

Background

Copper is a malleable and ductile metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity as well as

being corrosion resistant and antimicrobial. Copper occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust in a variety of forms. It can

be found in sulfide deposits (as chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, covellite), in carbonate deposits (as azurite and

malachite), in silicate deposits (as chrysycolla and dioptase) and as pure "native" copper.

The global demand for copper continues to grow world refined usage has more than tripled in the last 50 years thanks

to expanding sectors such as electrical and electronic products, building construction, industrial machinery and

equipment, transportation equipment, and consumer and general products.

Global Copper Consumption

Copper is shipped to fabricators mainly as cathode, wire rod, billet, cake (slab) or ingot. Through extrusion, drawing,

rolling, forging, melting, electrolysis or atomization, fabricators form wire, rod, tube, sheet, plate, strip, castings,

powder and other shapes. The fabricators of these shapes are called the first users of copper. The total use of copper

includes copper scrap that is directly melted by the first users of copper to produce copper semis.

Copper and copper alloy semis can be further transformed by downstream industries for use in end use products such

as automobiles, appliances, electronics, and a whole range of other copper‐dependent products in order to meet

society’s needs.

Since 1900, apparent usage for refined copper has increased from less than 500 thousand tonnes to 24.5 million metric

tonnes in 2019 as usage over the period grew by a compound annual growth rate of 3.4% per year.

109

(Source: The World Copper Factbook 2020)

The key driver of global refined copper usage has been Asia, where demand has expanded almost eight‐fold over the

past four decades mainly due to China(51%; 12.7mn tonnes).

*Refined copper is typically used by semis fabricators or the “first users” of refined copper, including ingot makers,

master alloy plants, wire rod plants, brass mills, alloy wire mills, foundries and foil mills. As a result, per capita usage

of refined copper refers to the amount of copper used by industry divided by the total population and does not represent

copper used in finished products per person.



Major Uses of Copper:

Electrical: Copper is the best non‐ precious metal conductor of electricity as it encounters much less resistance

compared with other commonly used metals. Copper is also used in power cables, either insulated or uninsulated, for

high, medium and low voltage applications.

Electronics and Communications: Copper plays a key role in worldwide information and communications

technologies. HDSL (High Digital Subscriber Line) and ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) technology

allows for high‐speed data transmission, including internet service, through the existing copper infrastructure of

ordinary telephone wire. Copper and copper alloy products are used in domestic subscriber lines, wide and local area

networks, mobile phones and personal computers.

Construction: Copper and brass are the materials of choice for plumbing, taps, valves and fittings. Thanks in part to

its aesthetic appeal, copper and its alloys, such as architectural bronze, is used in a variety of settings to build facades,

canopies, doors and window frames.

Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Due to their durability, machinability and ability to be cast with high precision

and tolerances, copper alloys are ideal for making products such as gears, bearings and turbine blades.

Consumer and General Products: Copper and copper‐based products are used in offices, households and workplaces.

Transportation: All major forms of transportation depend on copper to perform critical functions. Copper‐nickel alloys

are used on the hulls of boats and ships to reduce marine befouling, thereby reducing drag and improving fuel

consumption. Automobiles and trucks rely on copper motors, wiring, radiators, connectors, brakes and bearings.

Today, the average internal combustion engine contains about 22.5 kg (50 lbs) of copper, while luxury cars on average

contain around 1,500 copper wires totaling about 1.6 km (1 mile) in length.

Electric vehicles (EVs) contain approximately four times more copper than conventional cars. It is used in batteries,

windings and copper rotors used in electric motors, wiring, busbars and charging infrastructure.

It is estimated that globally over 7 million electric vehicles were on the road in 2019. In an effort to reduce carbon

emissions it is expected that the use of EVs will continue to rise. The demand for EVs is also expected to increase as

a result of technology improvements, increased affordability and the deployment of more electric chargers. Each EV

charger will add 0.7kg of copper. Fast chargers can ad up to 8kg of copper each.

Equipment was the largest end use sector followed by building construction and Infrastructure.

Global Copper Pricing

Copper, as any other good or merchandise, is traded between producers and consumers. Producers sell their present

or future production to clients, who transform the metal into shapes or alloys, so that downstream fabricators can

transform these into different end‐use products. One of the most important factors in trading a commodity such as

copper is the settlement price for the present day (spot price) or for future days.

Exchanges

The role of a commodity exchange is to facilitate and make transparent the process of settling prices. Three commodity

exchanges provide the facilities to trade copper: The London Metal Exchange (LME), the Commodity Exchange

Division of the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX/NYMEX) and the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE). In

these exchanges, prices are settled by bid and offer, reflecting the market's perception of supply and demand of a

commodity on a particular day. On the LME, copper is traded in 25 tonne lots and quoted in US dollars per tonne; on

COMEX, copper is traded in lots of 25,000 pounds and quoted in US cents per pound; and on the SHFE, copper is

traded in lots of 5 tonnes and quoted in Renminbi per tonne. More recently, mini contracts of smaller lots sizes have

been introduced at the exchanges.

The following graph illustrates copper prices and LME copper stocks from 1960 to 2019.


Global Copper Deposits

Mineral deposits are classified based on their geologic certainty and economic value. According to the United States

Geological Survey (USGS), copper reserves currently amount to around 870 million tonnes (Mt). Identified and

undiscovered copper resources are estimated at around 2,100 Mt and 3,500 Mt, respectively (USGS basis 2013, see

next page). The latter does not take into account the vast amounts of copper found in deep sea nodules and land‐ based

and submarine massive sulphides. Current and future exploration opportunities will lead to increases in both reserves

and known resources.


Global Distribution of Identified and Undiscovered Copper Resources in Porphyry and Sediment‐hosted

Stratabound Copper Deposits 1/

In 2013 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed a geology‐based, cooperative international assessment of

copper resources of the world 2/. The USGS assessed undiscovered copper in two deposit types that account for about

80% of the world’s copper supply. Porphyry copper deposits account for about 0% of the world’s copper. In porphyry

copper deposits, copper ore minerals are disseminated in igneous intrusions. Sediment‐hosted stratabound copper

deposits, in which copper is concentrated in layers in sedimentary rocks, account for about 20% of the world’s

identified copper. The mean undiscovered totals for porphyry and sediment‐hosted deposits are 3,100 and 400 Mt

respectively, resulting in a global total of 3,500 Mt of copper. With identified copper resources currently estimated at

2,100 Mt, total copper resources (undiscovered + identified) are estimated at 5,600 Mt.

World Copper Production

Global Copper Mining

Global mine production is the principal source of copper. Historically, total world mine production has been gradually

increasing.

Primary copper production starts with the extraction of copper‐bearing ores. There are three basic ways of copper

mining: surface, underground mining and leaching. Open‐pit mining is the predominant mining method in the world.

After the ore has been mined, it is crushed and ground followed by a concentration by flotation. The obtained copper

concentrates typically contain around 30% of copper, but grades can range from 20 to 40 per cent. In the following

smelting process, sometimes preceded by a roasting step, copper is transformed into a “matte” containing 50‐70%

copper. The molten matte is processed in a converter resulting in a so‐called blister copper of 98.5‐99.5% copper

content. In the next step, the blister copper is fire refined in the traditional process route, or, increasingly, re‐melted

and cast into anodes for electro‐refining.


The output of electro‐refining is refined copper cathodes, assaying over 99.99% of copper.

Alternatively, in the hydrometallurgical route, copper is extracted from mainly low grade oxide ores and also some

sulphide ores, through leaching (solvent extraction) and electrowinning (SX‐EW process). The output is the same as

through the electro‐refining route ‐ refined copper cathodes. ICSG estimates that in 2019, refined copper production

from SX‐EW represented around 16% of total copper refined production

Refined copper production derived from mine production (either from metallurgical treatment of concentrates or SX‐

EW) is referred to as “primary copper production”, as obtainable from a primary raw material source. However, there

is another important source of raw material which is scrap. Copper scrap derives from either metals discarded in semis

fabrication or finished product manufacturing processes (“new scrap”) or obsolete end‐of‐life products (“old scrap”).

Refined copper production attributable to recycled scrap feed is classified as “secondary copper production”.

Secondary producers use processes similar to those employed for primary production. ICSG estimates that in 2019, at

the refinery level, secondary copper refined production reached 17% of total copper refined production.


Copper Mine Production:


Since 1900, when world production was less than 500 thousand tonnes copper, world copper mine production has

grown by 3.2% per annum to 20.5 million tonnes in 2019. SX‐EW production, virtually non‐existent before the 1960s,

stood at 3.9 million tonnes in 2019.

From less than 750,000 tonnes copper in 1960, copper mine production in Latin America has increased to 8.8 million

tonnes in 2019, representing 43% of the global total. Asia has also exhibited significant growth. The region’s share of

global production has increased from just 6% to 15% over the respective period. Conversely, North America’s share

declined from 36% to 13%.

Smelting is the pyro metallurgical process used to produce copper metal. In 2019, world copper smelter production

reached 20.0 million tonnes copper. Recently, the trend to recover copper directly from ores through leaching

processes has been on the increase. Primary smelters use mine concentrates as their main source of feed (although

some use copper scrap as well). Secondary copper smelters use copper scrap as their feed.

Background

India is the 6th largest importer of copper ore and concentrates in 2019.

The total reserves/resources of copper ore as on 1.4.2015 as per NMI database based on UNFC system are estimated

at 1.51 billion tonnes. Of these, 207.77 million tonnes (13.74%) fall under 'reserves category' while the balance 1.30

billion tonnes (86.25%) are 'remaining resources' category. (Source: Indian Minerals Yearbook 2017)

The largest resources of copper ore are located in the state of Rajasthan with 813.33 million tonnes (53.81%) followed

by Madhya Pradesh with 283.43 million tonnes (18.75%) containing 3.42 million tonne copper and Jharkhand with

295.39 million tonnes (19.54%) containing 3.28 million tonne of copper metal. Copper resources in Andhra Pradesh,

Gujarat, Haryana Karnataka, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Odisha, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana,

Uttarakhand and West Bengal accounted for about 7% of the total of all Indian estimated resources. (Source: Ministry

of Mines)

India’s copper ore reserve/resources contribute to about 1.5 % of world copper reserves. Mining production is 0.2%

of world’s production, whereas refined copper production capacity is about 4% of world’s production. The size of

Indian Copper Industry (consumption of refined copper per annum) is around 6.6 lakh tones, which is 3% of world

copper market. (Source: Ministry of Mines; The World Copper Factbook 2020; U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral

Commodity Summaries, February 2019)

There are three major players which dominate the copper industry in Indian markets. Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL) in

Public sector, M/s Hindalco Industries and M/s Vedanta in Private Sector. Production in India has declined

significantly due to the permanent closure order issued to Vedanta Smelter/ refinery plant by Tamilnadu government

in May, 2018. HCL is the only vertically integrated copper producer in the country which produces refined copper

from mined ore, while M/s Hindalco Industries at Dahej in Gujarat and M/s Vedanta Industries Ltd at Tuticorin in

Tamil Nadu have set up port based smelting and refining plants. However, there are few installations to produce

Electro-won copper but their capacities are still very low and production is inconsistent. There are more than 1000

SMEs, MSMEs and unorganized sector working in the downstream and secondary recycling of copper Industries in

India. (Source: Ministry of Mines)

122

Significant mismatch between India‘s processing requirement and copper mining capacity. Approximately 100 mn

tonnes of copper ore (assuming a copper content of 1% ) is required to produce 1 mn tonne of refined copper

The copper ore production in India for 2019-20 was 3.97 mn tonnes, meeting only ~4% of the country‘s demand The

current mining capacity is entirely catered to by HCL. Custom smelters are relying on imported copper concentrate to

feed their plants. In the fiscal year 2019-20, the copper ore production in India was 3.97 million tonnes. HCL has plans

to increase its mining capacity from its current level ore production to 12.2 MTPA in phase-I in next 9 years and will

take necessary action for further capacity enhancement of mine to 20.2 MTPA in phase -II. (Source: The World Copper

Factors influencing Copper Markets

• Copper prices in India are fixed on the basis of the rates that rule on LME and Rupee & US Dollar exchange

rate.

• Economic growth of the major consuming countries such as China, USA, Japan, Germany, India etc.

• Growth and development in the Infrastructure, Real-estate, Telecom and Electrical Industry, Renewable

Energy and Electrical Vehicle Sector.

• Surplus/ Deficit in copper market.

Market Outlook

Copper demand is expected to grow at 7% -8% in India. Growing demand from power sector in view of Government

laying thrust on renewable energy and increasing demand from the households for consumer durables will increase

demand for copper in India. Manufacturing of electric vehicles (EV) will also augment consumption of copper as EV

use four times more copper than traditional internal combustion engines. Copper is essential to EV technology and its

supporting infrastructure and the evolving market will have a substantial impact on copper demand.

India’s per capita copper consumption currently at 0.5kg/ per person was against 8.4 kg/person in China and 4.8

kg/per person in U.S.A. The per capita copper consumption in India is expected to increase from the current level of

0.5 Kg to 1 kg by 2025. The average per capita copper consumption as of 2019 in the world is 3.2 kg (Source: The

World Copper Factbook 2020/ Ministry of Mines )

Government initiatives will further increase growth of copper consuming industries

Taloja Copper Plant. We plan to capitalize on our experience by exploring potential acquisitions of other copper and

other base metal mining companies or mines within or outside of India.

We are currently the only company in India engaged in mining of copper ore. Further, we are the only producer of

copper concentrate in India (Source: Annual Report (2019-20), Ministry of Mines, Government of India). Copper

concentrate is used for making copper anode, copper cathode and copper rod. As of April 1, 2020 our Company was

able to meet around approximately 4.00% of the entire demand for copper concentrate in India. Our Company

produced copper concentrate of 26,502 CMT, 32,439 CMT, 31,793 CMT and 16,659 CMT, in Fiscal 2020, fiscal

2019, Fiscal 2018 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Our revenue from copper

concentrate was Rs. 50,824.96 lakhs, Rs. 91,087.80 lakhs, 34,305.77 lakhs, and 123,189.24 lakhs, in Fiscal 2020,

2019, Fiscal 2018 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

Our Company owns all the operating mining lease of copper ore in India. We believe that there is a significant

mismatch between India‘s processing requirement and copper mining capacity. The copper ore production by our

Company was 3.97 MT, meeting only approximately 4.00% of the country‘s demand. The current mining capacity is

entirely catered to by our Company. The custom smelters in India are currently relying on imported copper concentrate

to feed their plants. We believe that our proven experience and our long standing presence with an expertise in

developing and operating copper mines, provides us an opportunity and potential to expand our operations to meet

more than 10.00% of the entire demand for copper concentrate in India in future.

Vertically integrated operations

Our copper operations span the entire value chain and consist of copper ore mining, copper ore concentration, copper

smelting, refining and extruding. Unlike other refined copper producers in India, we produce our own copper

concentrate and do not need to rely on copper concentrate imported from abroad. Therefore, our copper refining

business is generally not subject to the volatility of the international price of copper concentrate. Furthermore, since

all of our mines and smelting and refining facilities are located in India, we have relatively low logistic costs involved

in moving the copper concentrate to Indian refining facilities to produce refined copper. Being able to produce our

own copper concentrate also provides us with certainty in its quality and available quantity.

More importantly, with the mining of copper ore and production of our own copper concentrate, we have the flexibility

to either use our copper concentrate to produce refined copper, or sell our copper concentrate to other refined copper

producers in India, depending on the profitability and other business considerations of either track. As a result, we

believe that our vertically integrated operations provide us with a great deal of flexibility to change our product mix

and take advantage of market opportunities.

We sell our copper products which includes copper wire rod, copper cathodes and copper concentrate in India as well

export substantial quantity of our Copper Concentrate through tendering mechanism. Our principal operations include

three copper ore mining complexes – MCP, KCC and ICC – each of which consists of several copper ore mines and

their own beneficiation plants. Further, our ICC complex has its own smelting and refining facility. We also have a

facility at TCP to produce copper wire rod. Additionally, the concentrator plants are located adjacent to the mines,

which reduces transportation cost of ore produced from mines to the concentrator plant. The Ghatsila smelter plant is

located in the vicinity of the concentrator plant at ICC unit. Further, the Ghatsila unit is connected with rail head

having own railway and container traffic handling arrangement. All the units are well connected with national

highways and railheads.

Our operations are completely vertically integrated with copper mining, copper beneficiation, smelting, refining and

casting of refined copper metal into downstream saleable products. We mine copper ore at MCP, KCC and ICC and

process the ore in our on-site beneficiation plants to produce copper concentrate. Our copper concentrate is then either

127

(i) shipped to our smelting and refining facilities at ICC to be refined into copper cathodes, which are then transported

to TCP or (ii) sold directly to customers on an off the shelf basis. The copper cathodes received at TCP are extruded

into continuous cast rods and sold directly to customers under on an off the shelf basis. For third party clients we also

toll their copper cathodes into copper wire rod which helps us to utilize the surplus capacity available at TCP.

We are the only integrated producer of refined copper in India. Our major activities include mining, ore beneficiation,

smelting/ secondary smelting, refining and casting of refined copper metal into downstream products. Set out below

is a chart demonstrating the major activities of the Company:

Access to substantial reserves




Further, we have planned to expand our current ore production level from approximately 3.97 MTPA (million tons

per annum) as on March 31, 2020 to 12.2 MTPA in Phase –I (under implementation) and subsequently to 20.2 million

tons per annum in Phase-II.

Strategies

The key elements of our strategy include:

Increased Focus on Copper Mining and Expansion of Our Mining Capacity

Due to the competitive advantage we are producing copper concentrate in India and in view of the expected sustained

demand for copper concentrate, we have planned to expand our current ore production level from approximately 3.97

MTPA (million tons per annum) as on March 31, 2020 to 12.2 MTPA in phase–I (under implementation) and

subsequently to 20.2 million tons per annum in phase-II.

This expansion plan includes (i) development of underground mine under existing open cast mine at Malanjkhand;

(ii) expanding our existing mines, namely Khetri, Kolihan and Surda; (iii) reopening some of our mines that were

closed in the past namely Rakha, Kendadih and (iv) establishing new mines, namely Banwas, Chapri, Sideshwar

adjacent to Rakha, Dhobani at Jharkhand.

We have already re-opened the Kendadih mine and have started the production of development ore. Further, we have

already commenced production in the Banwas mine. We have also issued the production contract for our Malanjkhand

underground copper mine for producing 110 lakh tonne of ore over a span of five years. We also are in the process of

selecting MDO for development of mines in eastern sector- Chapri and Rakha.

129

Our expansion plan largely involves expanding our operations further underground rather than increasing their surface

area, meaning that we will not always be faced with many of the issues that are typically involved with mine expansion

projects, such as acquiring additional land, relocating current inhabitants, establishing additional infrastructure and

obtaining additional forest clearance. This expansion plan is expected to allow us to significantly increase our copper

concentrate production and to sell copper concentrate as our primary product to other refined copper producers in

India and abroad.

Continue to Develop Long-Term Growth Prospects through Brownfield and Greenfield Exploration

We intend to develop long-term growth prospects through brownfield and greenfield exploration projects. We are

undertaking further detailed and depth exploration across all our existing mines, including the areas immediately

below the Khetri mine and Kolihan mine at KCC (in the state of Rajasthan), Surda, Kendadih and Rakha .

We have applied for allocation of fresh leases with the Governments of Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh to

grant us mining leases under Section 17A of the MMDR Act, 2015. We also intend to make such applications in

potential areas in the future. By securing further mining leases and pursuing brownfield exploration, we believe we

will be able to expand our current mining capacities for long-term growth prospects and continue to capitalize upon

the growing demand for copper in India.

We have entered into a joint venture with CDMC for exploration of copper blocks in the state of Chhattisgarh. Further,

we have formed another joint venture, Khanij Bidesh India Limited, with NALCO and MECL to identify, acquire,

develop, process and make commercial use of strategic & critical minerals in overseas locations for supply in India.

Continue to be a Low Cost, Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Mining Company

We plan to explore different outsourcing models for the development and operation of our mining assets and intend

to optimize it. By utilizing third-party contractors and latest technological upgraded equipment, we believe that we

are better able to ensure our access to the latest low cost mining technology and know-how. In concert with our mine

expansion, mine reopening and new mine projects, efficient use of outsourcing will allow us to develop our mines

based on the most cost-effective mine designs and operations through the use of the latest mining technology.

We are committed to the protection of the environment in the places where we operate and have therefore subscribed

to the principles of sustainable development. We have taken pollution control measures in all of our business activities.

We develop our facilities and operations in accordance with local laws and regulations, including the pollution control

board guidelines and standards, as well as internationally accepted good management practices on environmental

issues. We practice pollution prevention principles in all of our operational activities. We comply with various

guidelines issued by the statutory authorities such as Indian Bureau of Mines. Besides, we aim to stringently follow

the various provisions of mine safety legislations, adhere with various environment laws and guidelines issued by the

regulators. Additionally, the contractors engaged by us are required to comply with various guidelines and legislations.

Further, we have adopted various safety policies. Our mining operations are carried out as per mining plan approved

by Indian Bureau of Mines and our mines are mandatorily required to have statutory clearances including

environmental clearances and forest clearances.

In addition to providing us cost-effective mining operations, the contractors are engaged to provide us with a more

stable and predictable cost structure on a per tonne basis, thereby streamlining our overall operations. We intend to

execute the construction of all our mine expansion projects by way of awarding engineering procurement and

construction contracts through a two stage open tender process.

The first stage of issuing the tender for request for qualification has already been initiated for each of our project of

our expansion plan. We are required to fulfil the statutory requirements pertaining to environment while carrying out

mining activities within our mining leases including safety zone plantation within the mining lease boundary,

aggressive afforestation and water harvesting initiatives to mitigate the adverse effects of surface soil loss and

depletion of ground water and recycling of water, etc. to ensure sustainable mining.

Seek Additional Sources of Income, revenue of which are not dependent on LME prices

130

We plan to generate revenue from waste material like waste rock, granulated slag, etc and by-product like as anode

slime containing gold, silver, copper sulphate, sulphuric acid etc. Further, our mines situated in Jharkhand (East

Singhbhum Shear Zone) are having uranium content in copper ore.

To increase the resource base of copper mineral, undertake detailed exploration activities within the existing lease

area and in other prospect of the Country




The current reserve/ resource is based on exploration upto a vertical depth averaging at about 600 metre (ranging from

300 metre to 800 metre) across our mining leases. Presently, only reserves ranging from 150 metre to 450 metre

vertical depth are being extracted. The ore bodies are open and extended towards further depth. We have prepared

exploration plans for detailed exploration up to about 1200 metre vertical depth. Further with the recently concluded

depth exploration, our ore resource has been enhanced by around 66.50 million tonnes of which we have consumed

around 11.77 million tonnes in the last three years. This exercise also affirms the huge potential of enhancement of

reserve and resources within the mining lease of our Company and provides us with enhanced prospects in near future.

Set out below are locations where explorations for new deposits are being carried out:

Copper Business

Overview

Our operations can be broadly divided into two categories: (i) copper ore mining, which includes copper concentrate

production, and (ii) refined copper production. Currently, we sell (i) copper concentrate, (ii) refined copper products

principally in the form of copper cathodes and continuous cast wire rods, and (iii) other by-products generated through

the copper manufacturing process, including anode slime containing gold and silver, copper granulated dump slag and

sulphuric acid.

We sell our copper products which includes copper wire rod, copper cathodes and copper concentrate in India as well

export substantial quantity of our Copper Concentrate through tendering mechanism. Our principal operations include

three copper mining units – MCP, KCC and ICC – each of which consists of several copper ore mines and their own

beneficiation plants. Further, our ICC unit has its own smelting and refining facility. We also have a facility at TCP

to produce copper wire rod.

131

Our operations are completely vertically integrated with copper mining, copper beneficiation, smelting, refining and

casting of refined copper metal into downstream saleable products. We mine copper ore at MCP, KCC and ICC and

process the ore in our on-site beneficiation plants to produce copper concentrate. Our copper concentrate is then either

(i) shipped to our smelting and refining facilities at ICC to be refined into copper cathodes, which are then transported

to TCP or (ii) sold directly to customers on and off the shelf basis. The copper cathodes received at TCP are extruded

into continuous cast rods and sold directly to customers under on an off the shelf basis. For third party clients we also

toll their copper cathodes into copper wire rod which helps us to utilize the surplus capacity available at TCP.

The full process of our vertically integrated copper production is as below:

132

Copper Ore Mining and Copper Concentrate Production

Copper ore may be mined by either open-pit or underground methods. Open-pit mining is the predominant mining

method in the world (Source: The World Copper Factbook, 2020), with an opening wide enough to allow trucks to

enter and go deep enough to reach the ore. Underground mining is used when the amount of stripping required (i.e.

the amount of soil to be removed per tonne of ore) is too high or the geology does not permit it. In this method, the

ore is reached through a decline or shaft and brought out either by truck or rail, or is raised by a skip.

KCC has three mines – Khetri, Kolihan and Banwas. The Khetri and Kolihan mines are both underground mines. The

Banwas deposit was initially mined through a horizontal shaft from the Khetri mine. We now have started mining

from the Banwas deposit by constructing a decline. Currently, Khetri and Kolihan are existing operating underground

mines.

ICC has three mines lease area viz Surda, Kendadih and Rakha. We are currently operating Kendadih mine and are in

the process of the construction of Chapri and Sideshwar mine and reopening of Rakha mines. Our mining lease for

Surda mine has expired and we are in the process of extending the same.

MCP at Malanjkhand in Madhya Pradesh is in operation and is an open-pit mine measuring 2,200 metres in length,

600 metres in width and ultimate pit limit at 340 mRL.

Our copper ore is generally first crushed to a size of 140 mm and then is sent through belt conveyors to secondary and

tertiary units for milling to a size of 25 mm. Thereafter, the milled ore is sent for fine ore milling where the ore is

pulverized by tumbling it with steel balls in cylindrical mills. The milled ore is then treated via the

beneficiation/concentration process in flotation cells with re-agents like pine oil, xanthate and lime for separation of

copper concentrate and to eliminate much of the other material. The copper concentrate solution is then sent for

filtration and the end result is copper concentrate which can either be sold or used for smelting to produce refined

copper. Our copper concentrate generally contains 17%-28% of copper; similar levels of iron and sulphur; minor

percentages of oxides of aluminium, calcium, and silicon; and traces of precious metals that depend on the ore source.

There are no direct raw materials used in our ore mining and processing operations. Indirect raw materials include

power, fuel, water and oxygen. We procure these indirect materials from various vendors. The electricity required for

our operations is supplied by the State Government grid as well taken from Central Grid, and supplemented by our

own backup generators. Our Copper Mining operations are conducted at three mining complexes: KCC, ICC and

MCP.

Thane-Pune Highway, near Navda Phata in Maharashtra. It is 50 km away from the Mumbai Airport. The nearest

railway stations are Panvel and Belapur. The plant enjoys locational advantages with its proximity to the JNPT seaport.

TCP is spread over an area of 32193 sq. metre. The land is leased from MIDC pursuant to a 95 year lease with effect

from September 1, 1987. The area has infrastructure facilities, including schools and health centers. The water for

TCP is obtained from the MIDC water supply scheme.

Expansion plans

In the last two Fiscals, we have completed two mine expansion projects namely Banwas mine at Khetri Rajasthan and

Kendadih mines at Ghatsila, Jharkhand.

Our ore production capacity was 3.97 MTPA as on March 31, 2020. We aim to increase this to 12.2 MTPA in phase-

1 and thereafter to 20.2 MTPA in phase-2. This expansion plan includes (i) development of underground mine under

existing open cast mine at Malanjkhand; (ii) expanding our existing mines, namely Khetri, Kolihan and Surda; (iii)

reopening some of our mines that were closed in the past namely Rakha, Kendadih and (iv) establishing new mines,

namely Banwas, Chapri, Sideshwar adjacent to Rakha at Jharkhand.

Except for the Rakha mine, we have issued EPC contracts for the expansion of projects

Set out below is the current status of Mine capex for enhancement of capacity:

Refined Copper Production

Conversion of copper concentrate to refined copper takes as many as four steps: smelting, copper converting, fire

refining and electro-refining. Copper concentrate is smelted to produce a liquid copper matte (50-62% copper), plus

slag (waste) and sulphur dioxide gas. After smelting, the molten matte is converted into blister copper (98.5% copper),

slag and sulphur dioxide gas. The molten blister is fire refined to further reduce impurities and then poured into anode

moulds. The cooled copper is called copper anode (99.5% copper). In the final stage of purification, these anodes are

refined by an electrolytic process to obtain copper cathode, which has a metal content of 99.99% copper, and represent

the copper metal in its pure form. Cathode is melted and cast into continuous cast wire rods for wire manufacture. ICC

has a smelter plant and a refinery plant. The ICC smelter plant has an installed capacity of 20,500 TPA of blister

copper. The ICC refinery plant has an installed capacity of 18,500 TPA of copper cathode. MCP does not have

A flowchart detailing the copper refining process is as below:

Products and Application

The principal products in our copper production and refining business is copper concentrate, copper cathode and

continuous cast rods. We also produce sulphuric acid, copper sulphate, nickel cathode and anode slime containing

gold and silver, which are by-products of the copper smelting process.

Copper Concentrate

Our copper concentrate generally contains 17%-28% of copper; similar levels of iron and sulphur; minor percentages

of oxides of aluminium, calcium, and silicon; and traces of precious metals that depend on the ore source. The major

uses of copper concentrate is use for further production of Copper Anodes and Copper cathodes and finally Continuous

Cast Copper Rods and downstream products.

Copper Cathode

Our copper cathodes are square shaped with purity levels of 99.99%. The cathode production process at our ICC

refinery plant is accredited with ISO 9001:2015 certification. The major uses of copper cathode are in the manufacture

of copper rods for the wire and cable industry and copper tubes for consumer durable goods. Copper cathode is also

used for making alloys such as brass, bronze and alloy steel, with applications in the defence, mining and construction

industries.

Continuous Cast Copper Wire Rods

Our continuous cast copper wire rods are available in 8.0 mm, 11.0 mm, 12.5 mm, 16.0 mm and 19.6 mm diameters

with a coil size of 1500 x 900 x 600 mm and coil weight of 1.0 to 2.5 metric tonnes. Our continuous cast rods have a

homogenous structure and very fine grain size and can be drawn into ultra fine wires. Our continuous cast rods are

used for power and communication cables, strips for power and distribution transformers and magnet wires as well as

other products. Our large diameter continuous cast rods (11.0 mm, 12.5 mm and 16.0 mm) are utilized for production

139

of profiles and bus bars. Our 19.6 mm diameter continuous cast rods are largely used for groove conductors and

profiles. The continuous cast rods can also be used as the basic raw material for the manufacture of wire and cable,

including winding wire, telephone cables, power cables, wiring harnesses, house wiring cables and instrumentation

and control cables. Larger diameter continuous cast rods are mainly used in strip making, whereas 8.0 mm rods are

used for wire and cable making as well as in the manufacture of flats and sections for electrical and electronic

applications.

Precious Metals

Precious metals, such as gold and silver, are found in certain quantities in our copper concentrate. Gold and silver

rates are based on the prevailing international bullion market price of the metals. In the process of production of

Copper cathodes, such precious metals are present in the Anode slime generated in the refining process. Accordingly,

we sell anode slime containing gold and silver as a by-product in the export market.

By-Products

We have a sulphuric acid plant located at ICC. The sulphur dioxide gas generated from the flash furnace is treated in

the sulphuric acid plant to produce sulphuric acid. We sell sulphuric acid, copper slag and copper sulphate crystals,

which are by-products of our refined copper production processes, in the domestic markets.

Smelting

Copper concentrate is processed at the ICC smelter plant to convert it into copper anodes. After drying of the copper

concentrate in a rotary dryer, it is smelted in a flash furnace to produce copper matte (50-62% copper), which is further

fired in a converter to produce blister copper (98.5% copper). Blister copper is then fire refined to produce copper

anode (99.5% copper). The sulphur dioxide gas produced during the smelting process is treated in our ICC sulphuric

acid plant to produce sulphuric acid.

Refining

Copper anodes are processed at the ICC refining plant to convert them into copper cathode. Our ICC refining plant

uses the conventional electro-refining technology to refine copper anode (99.5% copper) electrolytically into copper

cathode (99.99% copper). Copper anodes are electrolyzed in copper sulphate and a sulphuric acid electrolyte solution.

During the process of electrolysis, insoluble impurities containing precious metals are separated as anode slime.

Copper cathode is either sold to customers or sent to our copper extrusion plant at TCP. Anode slime containing gold

and silver is sold in the export market.

Raw Materials and Cost of Production

Historically, we have been able to secure an adequate supply of the principal inputs for our refined copper production.

As a precautionary measure, we maintain a stockpile of each of the principle inputs for our refined copper production,

which we keep in storage at our plant locations. Depending on the amount used by our copper smelting and refinery

plants and our extrusion plant and the lead-time required to receive the input, we maintain a stockpile of principal

inputs covering approximately 45-50 production days. The principal inputs for our refined copper production business

are copper concentrate, power, fuel, water and oxygen.

Distribution, Logistics and Transportation

Most of our sales of refined products are domestic sales, where the sale is either “free on rail” or “free on truck” so

that transportation is arranged by our customers at their cost. We sell copper concentrate from our KCC and MCP

mining complexes to domestic as well as overseas customers. When exported, the sale is on FOB (free on board) basis.

We sell copper cathode from our ICC smelting and refining plants. We also sell copper wire rods from our TCP plant.

Furthermore, we ship part of our copper concentrate from our MCP mining complex to our ICC complex by rail for

smelting and refining. We also ship part of the resulting copper cathode from the ICC complex to our TCP plant for

extrusion. Due to our multi-location operations, management of logistics has been a critical factor. We contract with

140

various transporters to provide us with a complete multimodal logistics solution across all of our operating units. This

includes end-to-end multi-modal transportation of semi-finished and finished products between our operating units

and to our customers.

Sales and Marketing

We sell copper concentrate to both domestic as well as overseas customers. We also sell refined copper products in

the domestic market and the by-products are sold in the domestic market as well as exported. Our sales and marketing

activities are overseen from our regional sales offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata. All payments by

domestic customers are in Rupees and by overseas customers in foreign currencies but the prices of our products are

pegged to the U.S. dollar through the application of the LME copper price. For Fiscal 2020, we sold 5,739 MT of

refined copper and 12,669 MT of metal in concentrate.

Employees

As on March 1, 2021, our Company had 1,668 permanent Employees. All of our permanent employees (except

permanent executives) are unionized. We believe that our relations with our employees and unions are generally good,

although we have in the past and may in the future experience industrial actions or disputes.

Competition

We are the only operating copper ore producing mining company in India. We are also the only company in India that

is completely vertically-integrated in our copper mining and processing operations. Therefore, we believe that we do

not and will not encounter intense competition in our production and sales of copper concentrate within India. We do

face competition from copper mining companies outside of India for production of copper concentrate, but we believe

that our geographic proximity to our target customers, namely the refined copper producers in India, will result in

lower logistics costs and a competitive advantage to our Company. The factors influencing competition vary by region

and end-use market. However, copper is a commodity product and we compete primarily on the basis of price and

service, with price being the most important consideration when supplies of copper are abundant. Copper is sold

directly to consumers at prices benchmarked to the cash settlement price, weekly average, fortnightly average or

monthly average of the LME price.

Safety

Although mining is an inherently dangerous activity, we have endeavoured to conduct our mining operations safely.

We regularly monitor our safety procedures and review our safety records. As part of our efforts to help ensure safety

in our mining operations, we have followed a number of requirements and procedures including training for a number

of employees working in the mines, implementation of a policy of strict compliance with the Mines Act in the

formation of benching, which is the construction of a mine, a number of training courses to help raise safety awareness

levels among our workforce and use of machinery and equipment in our mines and processing plants with built-in

safety features.

Information Technology

Our IT systems are vital to our business, we use our IT systems in key areas like finance, manufacturing, mining and

marketing. The key functions of our IT team include establishing and maintaining enterprise information systems and

infrastructure services to support our business requirements and maintaining secure enterprise operations. We have

installed ERP solutions which has enabled us to adopt a centralized business management platform based on which

the entire Company has been unified, it has increased the real-time visibility of critical business parameters, thereby

strengthening financial management and spares control, supply chain management, customer service and human

resource functions. For the procurement of stores and spares over an amount of rupees two lakhs, we make use of EPS

which is conducted by a third party and we use e-reverse auction for procurement of high value items. Further, we use

real time LME booking to enable customers to place on-line orders for copper wire and cathode with our Company at

a real time LME rate.

Property

Issue Procedure

1. On Issue Opening Date, our Company and the Book Running Lead Managers, shall circulate serially numbered

copies of the Preliminary Placement Document and the serially numbered Application Form, either in electronic

or physical form, to identified Eligible QIBs and the Application Form will be specifically addressed to each

such Eligible QIB. In terms of Section 42(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, our Company shall maintain complete

records of the Eligible QIBs in the form and manner as prescribed under the PAS Rules, to whom the

Preliminary Placement Document and the serially numbered Application Form will be dispatched. Our

Company will make the requisite filings with the RoC within the stipulated time periods as required under the

Companies Act, 2013 and the PAS Rules.

2. The list of Eligible QIBs to whom the Preliminary Placement Document and Application Form is delivered will

be determined by our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers, at their sole discretion.

Unless a serially numbered Preliminary Placement Document along with the serially numbered

Application Form, which includes the details of the bank account wherein the Application Amount is to

be deposited, is addressed to a particular Eligible QIB, no invitation to make an offer to subscribe shall

be deemed to have been made to such Eligible QIB. Even if such documentation were to come into the

possession of any person other than the intended recipient, no offer or invitation to offer shall be deemed to

have been made to such person and any application that does not comply with this requirement shall be treated

as invalid.

3. Eligible QIBs may submit the Application Form, including any revisions thereof along with the Application

Amount and a copy of the PAN card or PAN allotment letter and/or any other documents mentioned in the

Application Form, during the Issue Period to the Book Running Lead Managers.

4. Bidders will be required to indicate the following in the Application Form:

• full official name of the Bidder to whom Equity Shares are to be Allotted, complete address, e-mail ID,

PAN, phone number and bank account details;

• number of Equity Shares Bid for;

• price at which they are agreeable to subscribe for the Equity Shares and the aggregate Application

162

Amount for the number of Equity Shares Bid for;

• details of the depository account to which the Equity Shares should be credited;

• Equity Shares held by the Eligible QIBs in our Company prior to the Issue; and

• a representation that it is outside the United States acquiring the Equity Shares in an offshore transaction

under Regulation S and the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where those offers and sales are made.

Note: Eligible FPIs are required to indicate the SEBI FPI registration number in the Application Form.

The Bids made by the asset management companies or custodians of Mutual Funds shall specifically

state the names of the concerned schemes for which the Bids are made. In case of a Mutual Fund, a

separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the Mutual Fund registered with SEBI and such

Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the Mutual Fund will not be treated as multiple Bids provided

that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been made. Application by various

schemes or funds of a Mutual Fund will be treated as one application from the Mutual Fund. Bidders

are advised to ensure that any single Bid from them does not exceed the investment limits or maximum

number of Equity Shares that can be held by them under applicable laws.

5. Each Bidder shall be required to make the entire payment of the Application Amount for the Equity Shares Bid

for, along with the Application Form, only through electronic transfer to the Escrow Account opened in the

name of “HINDUSTAN COPPER LIMITED QIP ESCROW ACCOUNT” with the Escrow Agent, within the

Issue Period as specified in the Application Form sent to the respective Bidders. No payment shall be made by

Bidders in cash. Please note that any payment of Application Amount for the Equity Shares shall be made from

the bank accounts of the relevant Bidders and our Company shall keep a record of the bank account from where

such payment has been received. Application Amount payable on Equity Shares to be held by joint holders

shall be paid from the bank account of the person whose name appears first in the Application Form. Pending

Allotment and the filing of return of Allotment by our Company with the RoC, or receipt of final listing and

trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges, whichever is later, Application Amount received for subscription

of the Equity Shares shall be kept by our Company in a separate bank account with a scheduled bank and shall

be utilised only for the purposes permitted under the Companies Act, 2013. Notwithstanding the above, in the

event, among others, a Bidder was not Allocated Equity Shares in the Issue, or the number of Equity Shares

Allocated to the Bidder was lower than the number of Equity Shares applied for through the Application Form

and towards which Application Amount has been paid by such Bidder, or the Application Amount was in excess

of the amount equivalent to the product of the Equity Shares that have been Allocated to the Bidder and the

Issue Price, or the Application Amount has been arrived at using an indicative price higher than the Issue Price,

or any Bidder lowers or withdraws their Bid after submission of the Application Form but prior to the Issue

Closing Date, the excess Application Amount will be refunded to the same bank account from which it was

remitted, in the form and manner set out in “- Refunds” on page 170.

6. The Application Form may be signed physically or digitally, if required under applicable law in the relevant

jurisdiction applicable to each Eligible QIB and as permitted under such applicable law. An Eligible QIB may

submit an unsigned copy of the Application Form, as long as the Application Amount is paid along with

submission of the Application Form within the Issue Period. Once a duly completed Application Form is

submitted by a Bidder, whether signed or not and the Application Amount is transferred to the Escrow Account,

such application constitutes an irrevocable offer and the Bid cannot be withdrawn or revised downwards after

the Issue Closing Date. In case of an upward revision before the Issue Closing Date, an additional amount shall

be required to be deposited towards the Application Amount in the Escrow Account along with the submission

of such revised Bid. In case Bids are being made on behalf of the Eligible QIB and the Application Form is

unsigned, it shall be assumed that the person submitting the Application Form and providing necessary

instructions for transfer of the Application Amount to the Escrow Account, on behalf of the Eligible QIB is

authorised to do so. The Issue Closing Date shall be notified to the Stock Exchanges and the Eligible QIBs shall

be deemed to have been given notice of such date after receipt of the Application Form.

7. Upon receipt of the duly completed Application Form and the Application Amount in the Escrow Account, on

or after the Issue Closing Date, our Company shall, in consultation with Book Running Lead Managers,

determine the final terms, including (i) the Issue Price, (ii) the number of Equity Shares to be Allocated to each

Successful Bidder; and (iii) the Successful Bidders to whom such Equity Shares shall be Allocated. Upon such

determination, the Book Running Lead Managers will send the serially numbered CAN to Successful Bidders

163

who have been Allocated the Equity Shares. The dispatch of a CAN, and the Placement Document (when

dispatched) to a Successful Bidder shall be deemed a valid, binding and irrevocable contract for the Successful

Bidders to subscribe to the Equity Shares Allocated to such Successful Bidders at an aggregate price equivalent

the product of the Issue Price and Equity Shares Allocated to such Successful Bidders. The CAN shall contain

details such as the number of Equity Shares Allocated to the Successful Bidders, Issue Price and the aggregate

amount received towards the Equity Shares Allocated. Please note that the Allocation will be at the absolute

discretion of our Company and will be in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers.

8. Upon determination of the Issue Price and before Allotment of Equity Shares to the Successful Bidders, the

Book Running Lead Managers, shall, on our behalf, send a serially numbered Placement Document either in

electronic form or through physical delivery to each of the Successful Bidders who have been Allocated Equity

Shares pursuant to dispatch of a serially numbered CAN.

9. Upon dispatch of the serially numbered Placement Document, our Company shall Allot Equity Shares as per

the details in the CANs sent to the Successful Bidders. Our Company will inform the Stock Exchanges of the

details of the Allotment.

10. After passing the resolution for Allotment and prior to crediting the Equity Shares into the beneficiary account

of the Successful Bidders maintained by the Depository Participant, as specified in the records of the

depositories or as indicated in their respective Application Form, our Company shall apply to the Stock

Exchanges for listing approvals in respect of the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Issue.

11. After receipt of the listing approvals of the Stock Exchanges, our Company shall credit the Equity Shares

Allotted pursuant to this Issue into the beneficiary accounts of the respective Allottees.

12. Our Company will then apply for the final trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges.

13. The Equity Shares that would have been credited to the beneficiary account with the Depository Participant of

the Successful Bidders shall be eligible for trading on the Stock Exchanges only upon the receipt of final trading

and listing approvals from the Stock Exchanges.

14. As per applicable law, the Stock Exchanges will notify the final listing and trading approvals, which are

ordinarily available on their websites, and our Company may communicate the receipt of the listing and trading

approvals to those Eligible QIBs to whom the Equity Shares have been Allotted. Our Company and the Book

Running Lead Managers shall not be responsible for any delay or non-receipt of the communication of the final

trading and listing permissions from the Stock Exchanges or any loss arising from such delay or non-receipt.

Investors are advised to apprise themselves of the status of the receipt of the permissions from the Stock

Exchanges or our Company.

each of them respectively, including in relation to lock-in requirement. VCFs and AIFs should independently

ELIGIBLE FPIs ARE PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE UNDER SCHEDULE II OF FEMA RULES, IN

THIS ISSUE. ELIGIBLE FPIS ARE PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ISSUE SUBJECT TO

COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND SUCH THAT THE SHAREHOLDING OF THE

FPIs DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED LIMITS AS PRESCRIBED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS IN THIS

REGARD.

In terms of the SEBI FPI Regulations and the FEMA Rules, the issue of Equity Shares to a single Eligible FPI or an

investor group (which means the multiple entities having common ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50%

or common control) must be below 10% of the post-Issue Equity Share capital of our Company. In case the total

holding of an FPI, including its investor group, increases to 10% or more of the total paid-up equity capital of a

company, on a fully diluted basis or 10% or more of the paid-up value of any series of debentures or preference shares

or share warrants issued that may be issued by the company, the total investment made by such FPI together with its

investor group will be re-classified as FDI as per the procedure and subject to the conditions specified by the SEBI

FPI Regulations and the FEMA Rules in this regard and the company and the investor will be prohibited from making

any further portfolio investment in the company and also required to comply with applicable reporting requirements.

In terms of the FEMA Rules, for calculating the aggregate holding of FPIs in a company, holding of all registered

FPIs shall be included. However, in accordance with Regulation 22(4) of the SEBI FPI Regulations, the FPIs who are:

(i) appropriately regulated public retail funds; (b) public retail funds where the majority is owned by appropriately

regulated public retail fund on look through basis; or (c) public retail funds and investment managers of such foreign

portfolio investors are appropriately regulated, the aggregation of the investment limits of such FPIs having common

control, shall not be applicable.

The existing individual and aggregate investment limits for an FPI in our Company is 10% and 100% of the total paid-

up Equity Share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis, respectively and the sectoral cap applicable to our

Company in accordance with the FEMA Rules, respectively.

Further, with effect from April 1, 2020, the limit of total holdings of all Eligible FPIs put together shall be the sectoral

cap applicable to a company, depending on the sector, as per FEMA Rules. Prior to March 31, 2020, the aggregate

FPI limit could have been decreased by a company to certain prescribed lower threshold limits with the approval of

the shareholders through a special resolution. Further, in case a company decreased its aggregate limit, it may increase

such aggregate limit to the prescribed limits with shareholder approval through a special resolution. However, a

company shall not be allowed to reduce the aggregate FPI limit to a lower threshold once such limit has been increased.

Pursuant to the SEBI Circular dated April 5, 2018 (Circular No: IMD/FPIC/CIR/P/2018/61), our Company has

appointed NSDL as the designated depository to monitor the level of FPI/NRI shareholding in our Company on a

daily basis and once the aggregate foreign investment of a company reaches a cut-off point, which is 3% below the

overall limit, a red flag shall be activated. The depository is then required to inform the Stock Exchanges about the

activation of the red flag. The Stock Exchanges are then required to issue the necessary circulars/ public notifications

on their respective websites. Once a red flag is activated, the FPIs must trade cautiously, because in the event that

there is a breach of the sectoral cap, the FPIs will be under an obligation to disinvest the excess holding within five

trading days from the date of settlement of the trades.

Eligible FPIs are permitted to participate in the Issue subject to compliance with conditions and restrictions which

may be specified by the Government from time to time.

165

In terms of the FEMA Rules, for calculating the aggregate holding of FPIs in a company, holding of all registered

FPIs shall be included.

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 our Company, the Book Running Lead Managers

or any of their respective 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.

The BSE and the NSE together hold a dominant position among the stock exchanges in terms of the number of listed

companies, market capitalisation and trading activity.

Stock Exchanges 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 and the SCRR. 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 regulate the Indian securities markets, including stock exchanges and intermediaries

in the capital markets, promote and monitor self-regulatory organisations and prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade

practices. 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, employee stock option schemes, stockbrokers, merchant bankers, underwriters, mutual funds,

foreign institutional investors, credit rating agencies and other capital market participants have been notified by the

relevant regulatory authority.

Listing and Delisting 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, SEBI Listing Regulations and various guidelines and

regulations issued by the SEBI and the 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 the SEBI Listing Regulations 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 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 ensure a minimum public shareholding at 25%. 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 with the above-mentioned requirement. Our

Company is in compliance with this minimum public shareholding requirement. Further, pursuant to the budget 2019-

2020, SEBI has been authorised to consider increasing the minimum public shareholding requirement to 35%.

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

185

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

5%, 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 the BSE or the S&P CNX NIFTY of the NSE, whichever is breached earlier.

In addition to the market-wide index-based circuit breakers, there are currently in place individual scrip-wise circuit

breakers. 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, it 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. It has evolved over the years into its present

status as one of the premier stock exchanges of India.

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. It has evolved over the years into its present status as one of the

premier stock exchanges of India. 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. 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-based Securities Trading and Services

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. The 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 the 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.). The BSE and the NSE 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.

186

SEBI Listing Regulations

Public listed companies are required under the SEBI Listing Regulations to prepare and circulate to their shareholders

audited annual accounts which comply with the disclosure requirements and regulations governing their manner of

presentation and which include sections relating to corporate governance, related party transactions and management’s

discussion and analysis as required under the SEBI Listing Regulations. In addition, a listed company is subject to

continuing disclosure requirements pursuant to the terms of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

SEBI Takeover Regulations

Disclosure and mandatory bid obligations for listed Indian companies are governed by the SEBI Takeover Regulations

which provide specific regulations in relation to substantial acquisition of shares and takeover. The SEBI Takeover

Regulations prescribes 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 SEBI 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 SEBI Takeover Regulations also provides for the possibility of indirect acquisitions, imposing specific

obligations on the acquirer in case of such indirect acquisition.

SEBI 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 (“UPSI”). The SEBI Insider Trading Regulations, inter alia, impose certain restrictions

on the communication of information by listed companies. Under the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations, (i) no insider

shall communicate, provide or allow access to any UPSI relating to such companies and securities to any person

including other insiders; and (ii) no person shall procure or cause the communication by any insider of UPSI relating

to such companies and securities, except in furtherance of legitimate purposes, performance of duties or discharge of

legal obligations. However, UPSI may be communicated, provided or allowed access to or procured, under certain

circumstances specified in the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations. The SEBI Insider Trading Regulations make it

compulsory for listed companies and certain other entities that are required to handle UPSI in the course of business

operations to establish an internal code of practices and procedures for fair disclosure of UPSI and to regulate, monitor

and report trading by insiders. To this end, the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations provide principles of fair disclosure

for purposes of code of practices and procedures for fair disclosure of UPSI and minimum standards for code of

conduct to regulate, monitor and report trading by insiders. There are also initial and continuing shareholding

disclosure obligations under the SEBI Insider Trading Regulations. The SEBI Insider Trading Regulations also

provides for disclosure obligations for promoters, employees and directors, with respect to their shareholding in the

company, and the changes therein.

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.

Dividends

Under Indian law, a company pays dividend 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, no dividend can be

declared or paid by a company for any Fiscal year except out of the profits of the company for that year, calculated in

accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act or out of the profits of the company for any previous Fiscal

year(s) arrived at in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. According to the Articles of Association,

the amount of dividends shall not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors. However, our Company

may declare a lesser dividend in the general meeting. In addition, as is permitted by the Articles of Association, the

Board of Directors may pay interim dividend at such intervals as it may think fit, subject to the requirements of the

Companies Act. Additionally, in terms of the CPSE Capital Restructuring Guidelines, all central public sector

enterprises are required to pay a minimum annual dividend of 30% of profit after tax or 5% of the net-worth, whichever

is higher, subject to the maximum dividend permitted under the extant legal provisions.

The Equity Shares issued pursuant to this Placement Document shall rank pari passu with the existing Equity Shares

in all respects including entitlements to any dividends that may be declared by our Company.

Bonus issue and capitalisation of profits

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 shares. These bonus shares must be distributed to shareholders in

proportion to the number of shares owned by them as recommended by the board of directors. Further, any issue of

bonus shares would be subject to SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013.

As per the Articles of Association, our Company in its general meeting may, upon the recommendation of the Board,

resolve that any monies, investments or other assets forming part of the undivided profits of our Company standing to

the credit of the reserve fund or any capital redemption reserve account, or in the hands of our Company and available

for dividend (or representing premiums received on the issue of shares and standing to the credit of the share premium

account) be capitalised and distributed amongst such of the Shareholders as would be entitled to receive the same if

distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions on the footing that they become entitled thereto as capital

and that all or any part of such capitalised fund be applied on behalf of such shareholders in paying up in full, either

at par or at such premium as the resolution may provide, any unissued shares or debentures or debenture stock of our

Company while shall be distributed accordingly or in or towards payment of the uncalled liability on any issued shares

or debentures or debenture stock and that such distribution or payment shall be accepted by such shareholders in full

satisfaction of their interest in the said capitalised sum.

Share capital

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, our Company may increase its share capital by issuing new shares on

such terms and with such rights as it, by action of its shareholders in a general meeting 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 of directors of a company may

dispose of the shares offered in respect of which no acceptance has been received in a manner which shall not be

189

disadvantageous to the shareholders of a 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.

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 or for a consideration other than cash, if

the price of such shares is determined by the valuation report of a registered valuer subject to such conditions as may

be prescribed, if a special resolution to that effect is passed by the company’s shareholders in a general meeting.

The Articles of Association authorise our Company to, from time to time, increase its share capital by such sum, to be

divided into shares of such amount, as may be specified pursuant to a resolution. Subject to the provisions of Section

61 of the Companies Act and the Articles of Association, 2013, the share capital of our Company (whether original,

increased or reduced), may be sub divided, consolidated or divided into such classes of shares as may be allowed

under the law for the time being in force relating to companies with such privileges or rights as may be attached and

to be held upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Regulations of the Company. Provided that certain of these

actions such as the division of share capital into different classes of shares may require prior permission from the


Pre-emptive rights and issue of additional shares

shareholdings unless otherwise determined by a resolution passed by three-fourths of the shareholders present and

voting at a general meeting. Under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Articles, in the event of an issuance of securities,

subject to the limitations set forth above, our Company must first offer the new Equity Shares to the holders of Equity

Shares on a fixed record date. The offer, required to be made by notice, must include:

• the right exercisable by the shareholders as on record date, to renounce the Equity Shares offered in favour of any

other person;

• the number of Equity Shares offered; and

• the period of the offer, which may not be less than 15 days from the date of the offer and shall not exceed thirty

days. If the offer is not accepted, it is deemed to have been declined.

The Board is permitted to distribute Equity Shares not accepted by existing shareholders in the manner it deems

beneficial for us in accordance with the Articles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd...)

at March 31, 2020 by the management. As mentioned in the referred note, the Company has modified its Standard Operating Procedure on Inventory Management to strengthen the reconciliation of inventory as an ongoing activity and identification and segregation of unused stock for better control; and

f) Note No.39 (33) which describes the uncertainties and the management assessment of possible impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its business operations, financial assets, contractual obligations and its overall liquidity position as at March 31, 2020. Management will continue to monitor in future any material changes arising on financial and operational performance of the Company due to the impact of this pandemic and necessary measure to address the situation.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit MattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Sl. No. Key Audit Matters Auditor’s Response1. Assessment of Stripping Ratio and charging

of overburden expenditure during production stage of surface mines to Mines Development Expenditure and Profit and Loss account

Referred in Note No.2 (11) and Note No.9 of the Standalone Financial Statements.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio is technically estimated initially at the beginning of the Mines and later on periodically assessed for which no standards written policy are there. Normally review done within a period of 3 to 4 years as informed to us.

In case of open cast mines, the expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same is depleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodically based on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio is uniquely applied under the Mining industries which involves significant judgment to determine the ratio and that also keep on change from time to time. This ratio has been changed subsequently based on the actual output of overburden and Ore exposed during the production stage of the mines.

We have identified this area as key audit matter due to its nature as industry specific and involvement of technical assumptions and judgments in calculation of stripping ratio. Further it has a material impact on the financial statements being this year the Company has amortized H23904.06 Lakh (PY:-20074.56 Lakh) as Mine development expenditure in respect of open cast mines.

Principal Audit Procedures

Our audit approach consisted testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive testing as follows:

• We went through the current status of the mining at different mines

• We discussed with the management about the stripping procedure adopted in the industry as well practice followed by the Company

• Procedure followed by the management towards Identification of expenditures incurred in surface mines during production stage

• Understanding the computation of Stripping ratio initially made and documents made available to us.

• We have checked the stripping ratio to be charged under amortization for mine development expenditure for balance period of mines

• Discussion with the core technical team involve in this process

• Reliance is placed on the representations of the management.

2. Modified Audit Procedures carried out in light of COVID-19 outbreak:

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Nation-wide lockdown and travel restrictions imposed by Central / State Government / Local Authorities during the period of our audit wherever physical access was not possible, audit could not be conducted by visiting the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices. As we could not gather audit evidence in person/ physically/ through discussions and personal interactions with the officials at the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices, we have identified such modified audit procedures as a Key Audit Matter. Accordingly, our audit procedures were modified to carry out the audit remotely.


Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic that caused nationwide lockdown and other travel restrictions imposed by the Central and State Governments/local administration during the period of our audit, we could not travel to the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices and carry out the audit processes physically at the respective Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices. Wherever physical access was not possible, necessary records/ reports/ documents/ certificates were made available to us by the management of the respective Plants /Projects / Regional Sales offices through E-Mail and to the extent generated from the ORACLE system at Head office, Kolkata. To this extent, the audit process was carried out on the basis of such documents, reports and records made available to us on which were relied upon as audit evidence for conducting the audit and reporting for the current period.

Accordingly, we modified our audit procedures as follows:

a) Conducted verification of necessary records/ documents/Trial Balances and other relevant application software electronically through remote access/emails in respect of Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices wherever physical access was not possible.

b) Carried out verification of scanned copies of the documents, records, certificates, deeds etc. made available to us through emails and remote access over secure network of the Company.

c) Making enquiries and gathering necessary audit evidence through telephonic communication and e-mails.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report ThereonThe Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of Directors, Management Discussion and Analysis Report, Report on CSR activities, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance Report and other annexure to Directors Report including Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Report of the Board of Directors including annexures and other related statements forming part of the Company’s annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of our this auditor report.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information when it becomes available only and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.


F-3

57


When we read the Report of the Board of Directors including annexures and other related statements form part of the Company’s annual report and made available to us after the date of our this auditor report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial StatementsThe Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis or our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

F-4

58

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

“Annexure A” To the Independent Auditor’s Report

{Referred to in Paragraph (1) of “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our Independent Auditor’s Report}

i. In respect of the Company’s fixed assets:

(a) The Company has maintained records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets. Further asset identification numbers and codification of some movable tangible assets along with make/model number needs to be assigned to the assets and to be updated in Fixed Asset Register. Location details and areas of freehold land and leasehold land held by the Company at different locations needs to be updated in the Fixed Asset Register and further needs to be reconciled with financial records. Quantitative details in case of few old assets along with their description, particulars of depreciation, amortization or impairment have also not been properly disclosed in the Fixed Asset Register.

(b) According to the information and explanations given to us, the fixed assets of the Company has been physically verified by the management every year so that all the assets of Units/offices are covered once in a block of three years interval, which in our opinion is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its business. As per the phased programme, during the year the Company had to conduct the physical verification at Malanjkhand Copper Project (MCP), Gujarat Copper Project (GCP), Indian Copper Complex (ICC) and Rakha Copper Project (RCP). However the verification procedure at ICC and RCP is not completed due to PAN INDIA lockdown for COVID 19 pandemic. The physical verification procedure is completed at MCP and GCP. According to the information and explanations given to us, no material discrepancies were noticed on such verification for adjustment/settlement in the books of account. The process of physical verification at Units/offices should be further improved by having the detailed list of assets with their identification numbers along with Group asset code, quantity and value as per Fixed Assets Register duly mapped with assets physically verified and also having a well-defined manual of physical verification especially looking into the various locations, quantum of assets physically available at each of the plant/office locations.

(c) According to the information and explanations given to us and on the basis of our examination of the records of the Company, lands (both freehold and leasehold) and Building acquired in respect of Gujarat Copper Project having book value of H5578.11 Lakh as at March 31, 2020 are yet to be executed in favor of the Company. The title deeds, conveyance deeds etc. in respect of certain freehold lands at Indian Copper Complex acquired through nationalization in accordance with Indian Copper Corporation (Acquisition of Undertaking) Act, 1972 which as per the management, are not in possession of the Company.

“Annexure B” To the Independent Auditor’s Report

{Referred to in Paragraph (2)(f) of “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our Independent Auditor’s Report}

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan Copper Limited (hereinafter referred as “the Company”) as of March 31, 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial ControlsThe Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained which is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial ReportingA Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial ReportingBecause of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be

F-11

detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

OpinionIn our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were generally operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. However in certain areas where design documentation need further improvement like Manual on Fixed Assets verification, Implementation of Centralized data base for Title deeds/lease deeds/ other evidences of titles in respect of both freehold and leasehold lands and Buildings, Fund Management including Cash and Bank and controls over issuance of Bank Guarantees shown as contingent liabilities, Comprehensive delegation of power, adequate departmental work allocation process, job rotation policy etc., Inventory Management, Receivable Management, Expenditure on CSR, Payable Management incorporating the process flow by which the transactions are initiated, authorized, processed, recorded and reported at department level at Plants/Projects as well as for financial reporting process. Modification of finance/accounts manual needs to be done incorporating the Indian Accounting Standards requirements to have effective internal controls over financial reporting. System integration to capture the transactions that relates to financial statements and events/conditions and other transactions significant to the financial statement has to be designed properly so as to fulfill the objectives of control criteria established by the Company.

Internal controls over financial reporting process as well as testing of such control activities has to be further improved considering the discrepancies noticed in physical verification of fixed assets like non availability of prescribed format of reporting, reconciliation of mismatches out of such physical verification, timely adjustment of discrepancies noticed, team structure etc. and maintenance of Fixed Asset Register to be further improved. Identification of old account balances and action taken to settle/adjust the account balances after due assessments and reconciliation of account balances has to be carried out periodically. Utilization certificate related to funds disbursed under CSR programme have not been received in proper format explaining the date wise disbursements by company, various mode of spending the amount within a project, details of agency involved with their name, amount paid etc for better control. Further various control activities in Inventory management have to be established looking into the size of the Company and nature of its business especially like non-availability of defined formats of reporting upon completion of physical verification, fixing any tolerance limit for stock adjustment, Quantification of process stock and assessment of its quality, delay identification of unused stock lying on floor and its segregation process, Improper monitoring and recording of standard and actual average metal loss during manufacturing process, handling losses during the dispatch of copper concentrate from discharge point to bedding building for storage and reconciliation of metal content in copper concentrate on inter-unit transfer and sales. The Company has modified its Standard Operating Procedure on Inventory Management to strengthen the reconciliation of differences arise in physical verification process as an ongoing activity and identification and segregation of unused stock for better control. However, our opinion is not qualified in the above respect.

The company is operating Smelter & Refinery in ICC and Gujarat Copper Project, Gujarat (GCP) for production of copper cathode. Further, cathode is converted into copper wire rod at Copper wire rod plant at Taloja Copper Project, Taloja, Maharashtra (TCP). The Company is listed with BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.

2. Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention from the books of accounts maintained under accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Companies Act, 2013.

2.2 Application of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) The Company adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) from April 1,2016 and accordingly the financial

statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles as notified by MCA under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (“Ind AS Rules”), as amended and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Company has complied all the Ind AS as applicable and relevant to the Company.

2.3 Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if material their effects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.

2.4 Current and Non-current Classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An

asset are treated as current by the company when:




d) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.


A liability is treated as current by the company when:a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;




F-20

74

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements (Contd...)

e) it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.


2.5 Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined

taking into account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of Products An entity shall account for a sale contract with a customer only when all of the following criteria are met:

(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;

(b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred;


(d) the contract has commercial substance i.e the risk, ownership, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows etc is expected to change as a result of the contract; and

(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods that will be transferred to the customer.

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri and Malanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is as per consistent practice followed by the company.

Sale of ServicesIncome from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer’s deposits unless the above conditions for revenue recognition are met.

Other Operating Revenuesa. Sale of Scrap


b. Interest from Customers In case of credit sales, interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on

accrual basis.

c. Interest from Contractors against mobilisation advance for mining operations Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for on

accrual basis.



F-21

75


Other Incomea. Claims Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from

Government towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim and that can be measured reliably.

b. Dividend and Interest from Investments Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive

the dividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

c. Profit on Sale of Investment Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the

difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.

d. Provisions not required written back


e. Others Any other income is recognised on accrual basis.

2.6 Employees Benefit Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:




The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘employee benefits expense’.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs.

F-22

76

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick

leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Deficit in Provident Fund Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust


2.7 Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily

takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

2.8 Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented

in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act 1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in

the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current and Deferred Tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.


F-23

77

2.9(a) Property Plant and Equipments (PPE) The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Pending reconciliation/receipt of the final bills against capital items, capitalization is done on the basis of cost booked and depreciation is charged accordingly. Price differences, if any, are adjusted in the year of finalization of bills.

In respect of expenditure during construction/development of a new unit/project in a new location, all direct capital expenditure as well as all indirect expenditure incidentals to construction are capitalized allocating to various items of PPE on an appropriate basis. Expansion programme involving construction concurrently run with normal production activities in an existing unit, all direct capital expenditure in relation to such expansion are capitalized but indirect expenditure are charged to revenue. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.

Expenses incurred for implementation of new projects are carried forward against respective projects till execution. Expenses rendered in fructuous projects abandoned subsequently are provided for in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

Physical verification of PPE is conducted every year so that all the units/offices are covered once in a block of three years interval. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification.

Depreciation and Amortization The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and


The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the company, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are ‘Put to Use’ till the date of sale and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Certain consumable items of small value whose useful life is very limited are directly charged to revenue in the year of purchase.

From the date Ind AS came into effect, the carrying amount of an asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset as per estimate of remaining useful life. Wherever, the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the carrying amount is recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings after retaining the residual value.


F-24

78

2.9(b) Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets

acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditions stipulated in “Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset” are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date and its useful life is reviewed in each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life estimate.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Intangible Assets other than Software are amortized over estimated useful life which is equivalent to license period, generally not more than 5 years.

Cost of Software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal right to use with a nil residual value. Otherwise the cost of software will be charged in the year of incurrence.

2.10 Capital Work in Progress Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work –in-progress and are carried at cost, less

any recognized impairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment.

2.11 Mine Development Expenditure In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent

development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineable ore reserves estimated from time to time.

In case of working mines, where development activities are going on simultaneously: Expenses are apportioned between capital and revenue on the basis of in-house technical estimates.

In respect of open cast mines : The expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same is depleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodically based on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines. Subsequently, If any ore is reclaimed from overburden, the same is included in inventory at a value based on opening rate of mine development expenditure with a corresponding credit in Mine development expenditure.

Expenditure incurred on development of new deposits are capital in nature and is included in mine development expenditure. If subsequently the development activities are found to be not viable, the expenditure on such development work included in mine development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is decided to abandon the project.

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the mine. If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the company remains the owner of the mines, the unamortized Mine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in the books of accounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated remaining life of that mine.


F-25

79

2.12 Overhauling Expenses Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit &

Loss in the year of incurrence.

2.13 Mine Closure Expenditure Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated

and Mine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.14 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount

will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are to be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permitted by Ind AS 105.

2.15 Inventories Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable

value and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued are charged off to revenue.

Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc. Ore is valued at cost since its realisable value cannot be ascertained.

The value of slag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where the said products have been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent value of concentrate) and net realizable value.

The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the year end London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery and the treatment and refining charges.

The inventories out of inter-unit transfers (material in transit) at the close of the year are valued and accounted in the books of the transferor unit on the basis of cost plus transportation to the transferee unit or net realisable value whichever is lower.

Imported materials are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost. In the event where final price is not determined valuation is made on provisional cost. Variations are accounted for in the year of finalization.

Provision is made in the accounts every year, for non-moving stores and spares (other than insurance spares) which have not moved for more than five years. Insurance spares are fully provided for on the expiry of the life of the relevant Property Plant and Equipments.

Physical verification of Semi-Finished and In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is conducted departmentally in all the units at reasonable intervals during the year by a duly approved committee. Also, physical stock verification of WIP and Finished Goods is undertaken by a duly approved committee at the end of every financial year alongwith an independent agency once in a block of three years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical verification is carried out by external agencies once in every year covering all the units. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification


F-26

80

2.16 Government Grants All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over

the period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.

2.17 Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets) The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may

be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

2.18 Foreign Exchange Transactions Transactions in currencies other than the company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the


At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign currency monetary items (except overdue recoverable where realizability is uncertain) are converted using the closing rate as defined in the Ind AS-21- The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Non-monetary items are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The exchange difference gain/loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016,liability in foreign currency loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the company is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in ‘Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account’ and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind As 21.

2.19 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past

event and it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Wherever no reliable estimate could be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not require an outflow of resources.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.


Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it’s virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in the financial statements.

2.20 Leasing Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to

lessee are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Depreciation expenses are recorded if asset held under finance lease is depreciable.

Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss if they are not directly attributable to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the company’s general policy on borrowing costs.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.21 Financial Instruments Non Derivative Financial Instruments

(i) Initial RecognitionFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent Recognitiona. Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive

income or fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR)

method except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.


F-28

82

Derivative Financial Instruments All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or

loss for the period.

Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased

significantly or not since initial recognition.

If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses. If the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.

2.22 Events Occurring after the Reporting Period The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after

the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

2.23 Dividends Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting

and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board of Directors.

2.24 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with an

original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.25 Rounding of amounts Amounts in these financial statements have, unless otherwise indicated, have been rounded off to ‘Rupees in lakh’

upto two decimal points.

21. Financial Instrument1. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses Commodity Futures Contracts to manage its commodity price risk . The Commodity Futures Contracts are not designated as hedging instrumnets and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity price risk exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months. However in the year FY 19-20, the Company has not entered into any Commodity Futures Contract.The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months. Commodity price riskThe Company purchases copper blister/ anode on an ongoing basis for its operating activities in its Gujarat Copper Project (GCP) plant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices in the international market has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts. However in the year FY 19-20, the Company has not purchased any such copper blister/ anode for its plant in GCP.These contracts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price fluctuations of copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1 and 4 months based on existing purchase agreements. The Company designated only the spot-to-spot movement of the entire commodity purchase price as the hedged risk. It has been decided by the company not to follow the hedge accounting for these instruments. As at 31 March 2020, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is nil.

2. Financial Instruments by CategoriesThe carrying value and fair value of financial instruments by categories were as follows:Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:

3. The Management considered the Service fees of H15 lakh paid on the Exim Bank Term loan amounting to H30000 lakh drawn on 29.05.2018 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee was only 0.019% of the Turnover (FY 2019-20) of the company and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of Exim Bank loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

Similarly, the Management considered the total of Upfront fees & Other charges of H245.33 lakh paid on the SBI ECB loan amounting to H17734.75 lakh drawn during July 2018 to January 2019 as immaterial, as the amount of such fees/charges was only 0.305% of the Turnover (FY 2019-20) of the company and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the


F-58

112

Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of SBI ECB loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

The Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally with financial institutions having Investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing .

4. Fair Value Hierarchy● Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active

markets.● Level 2 - Level 2 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs other than quoted prices

included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

● Level 3 - Level 3 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The company elected to exercise the option permitted under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as introduced by the Taxation Laws (Amendment Act, 2019). Accordingly the company has recognised Provision for Income Tax for the year ended 31.03.2020 and remeasured its deferred tax assets/(liabilities) basis the rates prescribed in the said section.

27. The value of assets, other than fixed assets and non-current assets, have realizable value at least equal to the amount at which they are stated.

28. Gujarat Copper Project of the Company consists of three units namely, Anode furnace (Smelter), Refinery and Kaldo Furnace having aggregate book value of H24536.34 lakh as at March 31,2020. The Anode Furnace and Refinery unit has been commissioned in October 2016 while Kaldo unit is commissioned on 25.05.2020. Since commissioning, the Anode Furnace and Refinery units are being operated at a sub optimal level for want of feed stock. GCP being a secondary smelter, the feed stock are copper scrap, copper blister, liberator cathode etc. The Company has not been able to source these materials in the required quantity resulting in suboptimal operations. Management is exploring various alternative source to make the plant operative.

29. Copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable minerals and metals from copper ore tails with a capacity of 10000 tonnes per day (TPD) at an estimated cost of H20000 lakh. The intermittent trial run failed on number of occasions (chockage/ spillage, stoppages, cleaning etc) and the quality and quantity of products achieved at various stages are not as per the parameters envisaged in contract agreement. A preliminary notice was issued to the party to complete the project and commission the same. The party agreed to commission the plant, but the progress of the work at site was stopped due to lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic. Under this circumstances, the company thinks it prudent to extend the timeline upto 31.08.2020 for supply, erection of the thickener and commission of the plant.

30. During the year, a Joint Venture Company (JVC) named Khanij Bidesh India Limited (KABIL) was formed on 01.08.2019 among National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL) to identify, explore, acquire, develop, process primarily strategic minerals overseas for supply to India for meeting domestic requirements and for sale to any other countries for commercial use. HCL holds 30% equity in JVC. HCL has invested 30,000 equity shares of H10.00 each totaling to H3.00 lakh. Further, an advance of H72.00 lakh is lying in the books of accounts at the year end for allotment of 7,20,000 shares of H10.00 each.

31. In MCP unit, there is Mill Scat of 2379816.031 MT (estimated quantity) containing metal content of 4112.322 CMT (estimated quantity) which is generated during the milling process. The Scat quantity had been stored over the years of production and needs to be reprocessed for recovering the active metal with the involvement of secondary crushing and grinding. The expected recovery from Scat having average grade of 0.18% copper would be around 75 to 80%. Further, the scope for beneficiation of the existing Mill Scat metal through processes and treatment is not possible due to non-availability of existing matching concentrator plant. Since the Mill Scat of 2379816.031 MT (estimated quantity) (4112.322 CMT) have low grade of copper percentage and do not have any realisable value at present, the in-house team of MCP considers that it is prudent to make a provision amounting to H12010.05 lakh in the books of accounts. Also the in-house team of the unit considers that it is prudent to make a provision for lean ore of 2567.255 CMT (estimated quantity), having grade of 0.29%, amounting to H6321.75 lakh since the entire quantity of lean ore cannot be processed for production of concentrate independently without mixing with crusher ore having high grade in order to achieve the average cut-off grade. Based on all the above aspects, full provision for Mill Scat and Lean Ore amounting to H18331.80 lakh (H12010.05 lakh + H6321.75 lakh) has been made in the current year.

KCC unit have also reconciled the closing stock of Work in Progress & Finished Goods and identified the differences in respect of copper content as 323.987 CMT valuing H1126.34 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) arising out of mismatch of copper content based on Delivery Order quantity and actual copper content as per R&D report for the period 2016-17 to 2019-20 and also identified the differences in respect of copper content as 481.262 CMT valuing H1673.11 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) arising out of reconciliation of difference of handling losses during dispatch of copper concentrate from discharge point to bedding building for storage through loader, loss through tyres of loading equipments during dispatch and to and fro movement of trucks till the final weighment clearance for the period 2009-10 to 2019-20 which are duly checked and certified by an independent Chartered Accountant firm. Moreover, in-house team of KCC has identified that 850.000 CMT of copper concentrate valuing H2955.04 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) is lying at the bottom of bedding building

which is mixed with floor concrete, impurities, stones etc. as well as partially oxidized and there is also heavy lump formation over a period of several years which is not suitable for pyro-metallurgical plant, making it unrealizable and hence the same is being treated as dead stock. Based on all the above aspects, 1655.249 CMT (323.987 CMT + 481.262 CMT + 850.000 CMT) valuing H5754.49 lakh (H1126.34 lakh + H1673.11 lakh + H2955.04 lakh) has been written off during the current year as one-time adjustment of closing stock.

ICC unit have also reconciled the closing stock of Work in Progress & Finished Goods and identified the differences in respect of copper content as 3837.429 CMT valuing H9953.90 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) against receipt of copper concentrate from MCP arising out of mismatch of copper content based on provisional data of MCP and actual copper content as per analysis done at ICC for the period 2008-09 to 2019-20 and also reconciled the differences in respect of copper content as 3149.000 CMT valuing H8168.20 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) being the difference of average metal loss considered in inventory valuation vis-à-vis actual average metal loss in Granulated Copper Dump Slag for the period 2008-09 to 2019-20 which are duly checked and certified by an independent CA firm. Moreover, in-house team of ICC has identified 706.965 CMT of copper concentrate valuing H1833.80 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) mixed with impurities as well as partially oxidized over a period of several years, making it unrealizable and hence the same is being treated as dead stock. Based on all the above aspects, 7693.394 CMT (3837.429 CMT + 3149.000 CMT + 706.965 CMT) valuing H19955.90 lakh (H9953.90 lakh + H8168.20 lakh + H1833.80 lakh) has been written off during the current year as one-time adjustment of closing stock.

Based on all the above facts, the closing stock as on 31.03.2020 is reduced by H25710.39 lakh (H5754.49 lakh + H19955.90 lakh) due to one-time write off of closing stock of KCC & ICC respectively. Further provision amounting to H18331.80 lakh has been made against Mill Scat and Lean Ore at MCP, which are not presently in use and have no realisable value at present.

The company has modified the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on Inventory Management, duly verified and certified by an independent CA firm, addressing all the above issues to strengthen the reconciliation of inventory as an ongoing activity.

32. Consequent upon the Judgment of Common Cause dated 02.08.2017, which is applicable only to the mining leases of iron and manganese ore, passed by the Apex court in the case of Common Cause Vs UOI and others, a demand of H4353.78 lakh was raised by the District Mining Officer of Jamshedpur for running the Surda mine without valid environment clearance (EC) although Surda mine has a valid mining lease, forest clearance and it has adhered to the terms of approved mining plan and it was working on valid Consent to Operate. Based on the Revision Application filed by the company, the Revisional Authority of the Ministry of Mines, after hearing at length both parties had issued specific direction against the District Mining Officer (DMO) not to take any coercive measures in terms of recovery of the said demand. On revision of demand from H4353.78 lakh to H12690.49 lakh by the office of the District Mining Officer and subsequently revised to H92940.06 lakh by the State Government, the company again appealed before the Revisional Authority and hearing was held on 14.11.2019 and interim stay is granted by the Revisional Authority till the next date of hearing. Since at present mining leases of copper ore are not included under Common Cause Judgement, the Management, based on the legal opinion, is of the view that the same has not to be shown as Contingent Liability as on 31.03.2020.

33. The spread of Covid 19 has affected the business operations of the company in all the units due to lock down declared by the Government. The company has taken various measures in consonance with the Government advisories to contain the pandemic, which included closing of mining and operational activities across the company. However, Government has allowed to resume its operation in all the units during April 2020 & May 2020.

Given the uncertainty of quick turnaround to normalcy, post lifting of the closure, the company has carried out a comprehensive assessment of possible impact on its business operations, financial assets, contractual obligations and its overall liquidity position, based on the internal and external sources of information and application of reasonable estimates. Management will continue to monitor any material changes arising due to the impact of this pandemic on financial and operational performance of the company and take necessary measures to address the situation.

34. The previous year’s figures have been regrouped / rearranged, wherever necessary.

In case of open cast mines, the expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same is depleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodically based on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio is uniquely applied under the Mining industries which involves significant judgment to determine the ratio and that also keep on change from time to time. This ratio has been changed subsequently based on the actual output of overburden and Ore exposed during the production stage of the mines.

We have identified this area as key audit matter due to its nature as industry specific and involvement of technical assumptions and judgments in calculation of stripping ratio. Further it has a material impact on the financial statements being this year the Group has amortized H23904.06 Lakh (PY:-20074.56 Lakh) as Mine development expenditure in respect of open cast mines at Holding company.


Our audit approach consisted testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive testing as follows:

• We went through the current status of the mining at different mines

• We discussed with the management about the stripping procedure adopted in the industry as well practice followed by the Company

• Procedure followed by the management towards Identification of expenditures incurred in surface mines during production stage

• Understanding the computation of Stripping ratio initially made and documents made available to us.

• We have checked the stripping ratio to be charged under amortization for mine development expenditure for balance period of mines

• Discussion with the core technical team involve in this process

• Reliance is placed on the representations of the management.

2. Modified Audit Procedures carried out in light of COVID-19 outbreak:

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Nation-wide lockdown and travel restrictions imposed by Central / State Government / Local Authorities during the period of our audit wherever physical access was not possible, audit could not be conducted by visiting the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices. As we could not gather audit evidence in person/ physically/ through discussions and personal interactions with the officials at the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices, we have identified such modified audit procedures as a Key Audit Matter. Accordingly, our audit procedures were modified to carry out the audit remotely.


Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic that caused nationwide lockdown and other travel restrictions imposed by the Central and State Governments/local administration during the period of our audit, we could not travel to the Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices and carry out the audit processes physically at the respective Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices. Wherever physical access was not possible, necessary records/ reports/ documents/ certificates were made available to us by the management of the respective Plants /Projects / Regional Sales offices through E-Mail and to the extent generated from the ORACLE system at Head office, Kolkata. To this extent, the audit process was carried out on the basis of such documents, reports and records made available to us on which were relied upon as audit evidence for conducting the audit and reporting for the current period.

Accordingly, we modified our audit procedures as follows:

a) Conducted verification of necessary records/ documents/Trial Balances and other relevant application software electronically through remote access/emails in respect of Plants/Projects/Regional Sales offices wherever physical access was not possible.

b) Carried out verification of scanned copies of the documents, records, certificates, deeds etc. made available to us through emails and remote access over secure network of the Company.

c) Making enquiries and gathering necessary audit evidence through telephonic communication and e-mails.

The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of Directors, Management Discussion and Analysis Report, Report on CSR activities, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance Report and other annexure to Directors Report including Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Report of the Board of Directors including annexures and other related statements forming part of the Company’s annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this audit report.

Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

F-72

126

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information when it becomes available only and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.

When we read the Report of the Board of Directors including annexures and other related statements form part of the annual report and made available to us after the date of this audit report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial StatementsThe Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“The Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group and its jointly controlled entity in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its Jointly controlled entity are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and its Jointly controlled entity and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding company, as aforesaid..

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its jointly controlled entity are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its Jointly controlled entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group and its jointly controlled entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its jointly controlled entity is also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and its jointly controlled entity.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.


F-73

127

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the companies within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the Independent auditors. For the other companies included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditor's Report (Contd...)

{Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Hindustan Copper Limited}Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group and its jointly controlled entity as of and for the year ended March 31, 2020, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan Copper Limited (hereinafter referred as “the Holding company”) as of March 31, 2020 and considered the report of auditor of the subsidiary company and its jointly controlled entity as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial ControlsThe respective Board of Directors of the Holding company, subsidiary company and its jointly controlled entity are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Group and its jointly controlled entity considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Group and its jointly controlled entity based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and audit evidence obtain by the Other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the “Other Matters” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Group’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial ReportingA company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial ReportingBecause of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are

F-77

131

subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

OpinionIn our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Group has, in all material respects, internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were generally operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Group and its jointly controlled entity considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. However as reported in Audit report of Holding company in certain areas where design documentation need further improvement like Manual on Fixed Assets verification, Implementation of Centralized data base for Title deeds/lease deeds/ other evidences of titles in respect of both freehold and leasehold lands and Buildings, Fund Management including Cash and Bank and controls over issuance of Bank Guarantees shown as contingent liabilities, Comprehensive delegation of power, adequate departmental work allocation process, job rotation policy etc., Inventory Management, Receivable Management, Expenditure on CSR, Payable Management incorporating the process flow by which the transactions are initiated, authorized, processed, recorded and reported at department level at Plants/Projects as well as for financial reporting process. Modification of finance/accounts manual at Holding company needs to be done incorporating the Indian Accounting Standards requirements to have effective internal controls over financial reporting. System integration to capture the transactions that relates to financial statements and events/conditions and other transactions significant to the financial statement has to be designed properly so as to fulfill the objectives of control criteria established by the Holding company.

Internal controls over financial reporting process as well as testing of such control activities at Holding company has to be further improved considering the discrepancies noticed in physical verification of fixed assets like non availability of prescribed format of reporting, reconciliation of mismatches out of such physical verification, timely adjustment of discrepancies noticed, team structure etc. and maintenance of Fixed Asset Register to be further improved. Identification of old account balances and action taken to settle/adjust the account balances after due assessments and reconciliation of account balances has to be carried out periodically. Utilization certificate related to funds disbursed at Holding company under CSR programme have not been received in proper format explaining the date wise disbursements by company, various mode of spending the amount within a project, details of agency involved with their name, amount paid etc for better control. Further various control activities in Inventory management at Holding company have to be established looking into the size of the Company and nature of its business especially like non-availability of defined formats of reporting upon completion of physical verification, fixing any tolerance limit for stock adjustment, Quantification of process stock and assessment of its quality, delay identification of unused stock lying on floor and its segregation process, Improper monitoring and recording of standard and actual average metal loss during manufacturing process, handling losses during the dispatch of copper concentrate from discharge point to bedding building for storage and reconciliation of metal content in copper concentrate on inter-unit transfer and sales. As reported, the Holding company has modified its Standard Operating Procedure on Inventory Management to strengthen the reconciliation of differences arise in physical verification process as an ongoing activity and identification and segregation of unused stock for better control. However, our opinion is not qualified in the above respect.

Other MattersOur aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting, is so far as it relates to the one subsidiary company and its jointly controlled entity, is based on the corresponding report of the auditors of such companies, companies incorporated in India.

Since HCL holds 74% equity in JVC, it is also a Subsidiary of HCL as per Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of Accounting The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention from the books of accounts maintained

under accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Companies Act, 2013.

2.2 Basis of consolidation2.2.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date when control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company.

The Company combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, cash flows, income and expenses, Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between companies are eliminated.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

2.2.2 Joint Ventures Joint Ventures are those joint arrangements whereby the Company is having rights to the net assets of the arrangements.

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost.

2.2.3 Equity method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter

to recognize the Company’s share of post-acquisition profit or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Company’s share of Other Comprehensive Income of the investee in the Other Comprehensive Income.

2.3 Application of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) The Group adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) from April 1,2016 and accordingly the financial

statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles as notified by MCA under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (“Ind AS Rules”), as amended and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Group has complied all the Ind AS as applicable and relevant to the Group.

2.4 Use of Estimates The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying F-86

140

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Contd...)

disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if material their effects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.

2.5 Current and Non-current Classification The Group presents assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset

are treated as current by the Group when:

a) its expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;b) it holds the assets primarily for the purpose of trading;c) it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting date; ord) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.Except the above, all other assets are classified as Non-current.

A liability is treated as current by the Group when:

a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;b) it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle; c) it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading; d) the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or e) it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the

reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.


2.6 Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined

taking into account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of ProductsAn entity shall account for a sale contract with a customer only when all of the following criteria are met:(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary

business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;(b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred;(c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods to be transferred;(d) the contract has commercial substance i.e the risk, ownership, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash

flows etc is expected to change as a result of the contract; and(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods

that will be transferred to the customer.

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri and Malanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is as per consistent practice followed by the Group.

Sale of Services Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of

a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer’s deposits unless the above conditions for revenue recognition are met.

F-87

141


Other Operating Revenuesa. Sale of Scrap Sale of Scrap is accounted for on delivery of material.

b. Interest from Customers In case of credit sales, interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on

accrual basis.

c. Interest from Contractors against mobilisation advance for mining operations Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for on

accrual basis.

d. Penalty and Liquidated Damages Penalty and liquidated damages are accounted for as and when these are realised by the company as per

contract terms.

Other Incomea. Claims Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from

Government towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim and that can be measured reliably.

b. Dividend and Interest from Investments Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive

the dividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

c. Profit on Sale of Investment Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the Group and is determined as the difference

between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.

d. Provisions not required written back Provisions/Liabilities created from business activities in earlier years no longer required are accounted for.

e. Others Any other income is recognised on accrual basis.

2.7 Employees Benefit Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits


For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

i. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, etc.);ii. Net interest expense or income; andiii. Re-measurement.

The Group presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘employee benefits expense’.

F-88

142

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Group recognises any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick

leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.


Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Deficit in Provident Fund Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust


2.8 Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily

takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

2.9 Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented

in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act 1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in

the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.



Current and Deferred Tax for the year Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.


F-89

143

2.10(a) Property Plant and Equipments (PPE) The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:


ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

The Group has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.





Depreciation and Amortization The Group has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and


The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the Group, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are ‘Put to Use’ till the date of sale and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.



2.10(b) Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets

acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,


F-90

144

intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditions stipulated in “Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset” are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.





2.11 Capital Work in Progress Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work –in-progress and are carried at cost, less

any recognized impairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment.

2.12(a) Mine Development Expenditure In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent

development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineable ore reserves estimated from time to time.




If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the mine. If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the Group remains the owner of the mines, the unamortized Mine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in the books of accounts in the year of re-opening and the Group will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated remaining life of that mine.

2.12(b) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures 2.12(b)(i) Pre-exploration costs

Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.


F-91

145

2.12(b) (ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (E & E Assets) Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation

expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as acquisition of rights to explore, materials used, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical evaluation, surveying costs, sampling, drilling costs, activities in relation to evaluation of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource, consultancy cost, payments made to contractors etc. during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities are expensed in the period in which they occur.

Administrative and general overhead cost that are directly attributable to the assets are capitalized as E & E Assets.

E & E Assets may be tangible or intangible. To the extent that a tangible asset is consumed in developing an intangible asset, the amount reflecting that consumption may be part of the cost of the intangible asset created. However, the asset being used remains a tangible asset.

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects for the Group, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to Statement of Profit &Loss.

The Group assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mines under construction”.

Exploration and evaluation Assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

As the Group currently has not commenced commercial operations, any incidental revenues, including receipt of input tax credit receivables, earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

2.13 Overhauling Expenses Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit

& Loss in the year of incurrence.

2.14 Mine Closure Expenditure & Decommissioning/Site restoration liability Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated

and Mine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.15 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount

will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are to be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permitted by Ind AS 105.

2.16 Inventories Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable

value and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued are charged off to revenue.


F-92

146

Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc. Ore is valued at cost since its realisable value cannot be ascertained. The value of slag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where the said products have been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent value of concentrate) and net realizable value.

The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the year end London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery and the treatment and refining charges.





2.17 Government Grants All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over

the period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.

2.18 Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets) The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be

impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.



2.19 Foreign Exchange Transactions Transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the




F-93

147


In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016, liability in foreign currency loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the Group is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in ‘Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account’ and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind As 21.

2.20 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past

event and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.




Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it’s virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in the financial statements.

2.21 Leasing Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to

lessee are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss if they are not directly attributable to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs.


2.22 Financial Instruments Non Derivative Financial Instruments

(i) Initial Recognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.


F-94

148

(ii) Subsequent Recognition a. Financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR)

method except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or

loss for the period.

Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased

significantly or not since initial recognition.



2.23 Events Occurring after the Reporting Period The Group adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after

the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

2.24 Dividends Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting

and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board of Directors.

2.25 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with

an original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.26 Rounding of amounts Amounts in these financial statements have, unless otherwise indicated, have been rounded off to ‘Rupees in lakh’

upto two decimal points.

21. Financial Instrument1. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Group uses Commodity Futures Contracts to manage its commodity price risk . The Commodity Futures Contracts are not designated as hedging instrumnets and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity price risk exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months. However in the year FY 19-20, the Group has not entered into any Commodity Futures Contract.The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.

Commodity price riskThe Group purchases copper blister/ anode on an ongoing basis for its operating activities in its Gujarat Copper Project (GCP) plant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices in the international market has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts. However in the year FY 19-20, the Group has not purchased any such copper blister/ anode for its plant in GCP.These contracts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price fluctuations of copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1 and 4 months based on existing purchase agreements. The Group designated only the spot-to-spot movement of the entire commodity purchase price as the hedged risk. It has been decided by the Group not to follow the hedge accounting for these instruments. As at 31 March 2020, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is nil.

2. Financial Instruments by CategoriesThe carrying value and fair value of financial instruments by categories were as follows:Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Group’s financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:

3. The Management considered the Service fees of Rs 15 lakh paid on the Exim Bank Term loan amounting to H30000 lakh drawn on 29.05.2018 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee was only 0.019% of the Turnover (FY 2019-20) of the Group and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of Exim Bank loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

Similarly, the Management considered the total of Upfront fees & Other charges of Rs 245.33 lakh paid on the SBI ECB loan amounting to H17734.75 lakh drawn during July 2018 to January 2019 as immaterial, as the amount of such fees/charges was only 0.305% of the Turnover (FY 2019-20) of the Group and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of SBI ECB loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

The Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally with financial institutions having Investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing .

4. Fair Value Hierarchy● Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active

markets.● Level 2 - Level 2 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs other than quoted prices

included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

● Level 3 - Level 3 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

ii) Commodity Price RiskThe Group's exposure to Commodity price from copper price fluctuation in international market does not arise as the Group hedges all its imports through Future contracts at LME

b) Credit RiskCredit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the Debtors resulting in a financial loss. The Group sells majority of its products either against Advance from Customers or Leters of Credit. Accordingly, credit risk from Trade eceivables has not been considered as credit risk.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group's established Marketing policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is H886.51 lakh for which full provision has been made in the accounts as disclosed in Note No 12.

Other financial assetsCredit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible because our counterparties are scheduled banks. We consider the credit quality of Term deposits with such banks as good as these banks are under the regulartory framework of Reserve Bank of India. We review these banking relationships on an ongoing basis.

c) Liquidity RiskOur liquidity needs are monitored on the basis of monthly and yearly projections. The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations.

We manage our liquidity needs by continuously monitoring cash inflows and by striving to maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents. Net cash requirements are compared to available cash in order to determine any shortfall.

Short term liquidity requirements consists mainly of Loans, Sundry creditors, Expense payable, Employee dues arising during the normal course of business as of each reporting date. We strive to maintain a sufficient balance in cash and cash equivalents to meet our short term liquidity requirements.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undisclosed cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

27. During the year Nil (Previous year 65,000 nos.) equity shares of face value H10/- each have been issued to Chattisgarh Mineral Development Corporation Limited by Chattisgarh Copper Limited for providing consultancy services and no consideration has been received in cash. This represents 26% of the share capital of Chhattisgarh Copper Limited.


29. Gujarat Copper Project of the Group consists of three units namely, Anode furnace (Smelter), Refinery and Kaldo Furnace having aggregate book value of H24536.34 lakh as at March 31,2020. The Anode Furnace and Refinery unit has been commissioned in October 2016 while Kaldo unit is commissioned on 25.05.2020. Since commissioning, the Anode Furnace and Refinery units are being operated at a sub optimal level for want of feed stock. GCP being a secondary smelter, the feed stock are copper scrap, copper blister, liberator cathode etc. The Group has not been able to source these materials in the required quantity resulting in suboptimal operations. Management is exploring various alternative source to make the plant operative.

30. Copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable minerals and metals from copper ore tails with a capacity of 10000 tonnes per day (TPD) at an estimated cost of H20000 lakh. The intermittent trial run failed on number of occasions (chockage/ spillage, stoppages, cleaning etc) and the quality and quantity of products achieved at various stages are not as per the parameters envisaged in contract agreement. A preliminary notice was issued to the party to complete the project and commission the same. The party agreed to commission the plant, but the progress of the work at site was stopped due to lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic. Under this circumstances, the Group thinks it prudent to extend the timeline upto 31.08.2020 for supply, erection of the thickener and commission of the plant.

31. During the year, a Joint Venture Company (JVC) named Khanij Bidesh India Limited (KABIL) was formed on 01.08.2019 among National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL) to identify, explore, acquire, develop, process primarily strategic minerals overseas for supply to India for meeting domestic requirements and for sale to any other countries for commercial use. HCL holds 30% equity in JVC. HCL has invested 30,000 equity shares of H10.00 each totaling to H3.00 lakh. Further, an advance of H72.00 lakh is lying in the books of accounts at the year end for allotment of 7,20,000 shares of H10.00 each against which a provision of H27.64 lakh has been made towards share of loss in Joint Venture.

32. In MCP unit, there is Mill Scat of 2379816.031 MT (estimated quantity) containing metal content of 4112.322 CMT (estimated quantity) which is generated during the milling process. The Scat quantity had been stored over the years of production and needs to be reprocessed for recovering the active metal with the involvement of secondary crushing and grinding. The expected recovery from Scat having average grade of 0.18% copper would be around 75 to 80%. Further, the scope for beneficiation of the existing Mill Scat metal through processes and treatment is not possible due to non-availability of existing matching concentrator plant. Since the Mill Scat of 2379816.031 MT (estimated quantity) (4112.322 CMT) have low grade of copper percentage and do not have any realisable value at present, the in-house team of MCP considers that it is prudent to make a provision amounting to H12010.05 lakh in the books of accounts. Also the in-house team of the unit considers that it is prudent to make a provision for lean ore of 2567.255 CMT (estimated quantity), having grade of 0.29%, amounting to H6321.75 lakh since the entire quantity of lean ore cannot be processed for production of concentrate independently without mixing with crusher ore having high grade in order to achieve the average cut-off grade. Based on all the above aspects, full provision for Mill Scat and Lean Ore amounting to H18331.80 lakh (H12010.05 lakh + H6321.75 lakh) has been made in the current year.

KCC unit have also reconciled the closing stock of Work in Progress & Finished Goods and identified the differences in respect of copper content as 323.987 CMT valuing H1126.34 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) arising out of mismatch of copper content based on Delivery Order quantity and actual copper content as per R&D report for the period 2016-17 to 2019-20 and also identified the differences in respect of copper content as 481.262 CMT valuing H1673.11 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) arising out of reconciliation of difference of handling losses during dispatch of copper concentrate from discharge point to bedding building for storage through loader, loss through tyres of loading equipments during dispatch and to and fro movement of trucks till the final weighment clearance for the period 2009-10 to 2019-20 which are duly checked and certified by an independent Chartered Accountant firm. Moreover, in-house team of KCC has identified that 850.000 CMT of copper concentrate

valuing H2955.04 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) is lying at the bottom of bedding building which is mixed with floor concrete, impurities, stones etc. as well as partially oxidized and there is also heavy lump formation over a period of several years which is not suitable for pyro-metallurgical plant, making it unrealizable and hence the same is being treated as dead stock. Based on all the above aspects, 1655.249 CMT (323.987 CMT + 481.262 CMT + 850.000 CMT) valuing H5754.49 lakh (H1126.34 lakh + H1673.11 lakh + H2955.04 lakh) has been written off during the current year as one-time adjustment of closing stock.

ICC unit have also reconciled the closing stock of Work in Progress & Finished Goods and identified the differences in respect of copper content as 3837.429 CMT valuing H9953.90 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) against receipt of copper concentrate from MCP arising out of mismatch of copper content based on provisional data of MCP and actual copper content as per analysis done at ICC for the period 2008-09 to 2019-20 and also reconciled the differences in respect of copper content as 3149.000 CMT valuing H8168.20 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) being the difference of average metal loss considered in inventory valuation vis-à-vis actual average metal loss in Granulated Copper Dump Slag for the period 2008-09 to 2019-20 which are duly checked and certified by an independent CA firm. Moreover, in-house team of ICC has identified 706.965 CMT of copper concentrate valuing H1833.80 lakh (considering stock valuation rate as on 31.03.2020) mixed with impurities as well as partially oxidized over a period of several years, making it unrealizable and hence the same is being treated as dead stock. Based on all the above aspects, 7693.394 CMT (3837.429 CMT + 3149.000 CMT + 706.965 CMT) valuing H19955.90 lakh (H9953.90 lakh + H8168.20 lakh + H1833.80 lakh) has been written off during the current year as one-time adjustment of closing stock.

Based on all the above facts, the closing stock as on 31.03.2020 is reduced by H25710.39 lakh (H5754.49 lakh + H19955.90 lakh) due to one-time write off of closing stock of KCC & ICC respectively. Further provision amounting to H18331.80 lakh has been made against Mill Scat and Lean Ore at MCP, which are not presently in use and have no realisable value at present.

The Group has modified the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on Inventory Management, duly verified and certified by an independent CA firm, addressing all the above issues to strengthen the reconciliation of inventory as an ongoing activity.

33. Consequent upon the Judgment of Common Cause dated 02.08.2017, which is applicable only to the mining leases of iron and manganese ore, passed by the Apex court in the case of Common Cause Vs UOI and others, a demand of H4353.78 lakh was raised by the District Mining Officer of Jamshedpur for running the Surda mine without valid environment clearance (EC) although Surda mine has a valid mining lease, forest clearance and it has adhered to the terms of approved mining plan and it was working on valid Consent to Operate. Based on the Revision Application filed by the Group, the Revisional Authority of the Ministry of Mines, after hearing at length both parties had issued specific direction against the District Mining Officer (DMO) not to take any coercive measures in terms of recovery of the said demand. On revision of demand from H4353.78 lakh to H12690.49 lakh by the office of the District Mining Officer and subsequently revised to H92940.06 lakh by the State Government, the Group again appealed before the Revisional Authority and hearing was held on 14.11.2019 and interim stay is granted by the Revisional Authority till the next date of hearing. Since at present mining leases of copper ore are not included under Common Cause Judgement, the Management, based on the legal opinion, is of the view that the same has not to be shown as Contingent Liability as on 31.03.2020.

34. The spread of Covid 19 has affected the business operations of the Group in all the units due to lock down declared by the Government. The Group has taken various measures in consonance with the Government advisories to contain the pandemic, which included closing of mining and operational activities across the Group. However, Government has allowed to resume its operation in all the units during April 2020 & May 2020.

Given the uncertainty of quick turnaround to normalcy, post lifting of the closure, the Group has carried out a comprehensive assessment of possible impact on its business operations, financial assets, contractual obligations and its overall liquidity position, based on the internal and external sources of information and application of reasonable estimates. Management will continue to monitor any material changes arising due to the impact of this pandemic on financial and operational performance of the Group and take necessary measures to address the situation.

35. The previous year’s figures have been regrouped / rearranged, wherever necessary.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. Weare independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statementsunder the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules made thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence wehave obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following matters:

a) Note No.38 Para 1 “Contingent liabilities” of the accompanying standalone financial statements which describes theuncertainty related to the outcome of the lawsuits filed and demand raised against the company by various partiesand Government authorities;

b) Note No.38 Para 4 & 6 of the accompanying standalone financial statements which states that the title deeds,conveyance deeds etc. in respect of certain freehold lands at Indian Copper Complex acquired through nationalizationin accordance with Indian Copper Corporation (Acquisition of Undertaking) Act, 1972 are not in possession of thecompany and title deeds in some locations at Gujarat Copper Project, Delhi and Jaipur office are yet to be executedin favor of the Company.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the


F-134

63

standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinionon these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated inour report.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio and charging ofoverburden expenditure during productionstage of surface mines to Mines DevelopmentExpenditure and Profit and Loss account

Referred in Note No.2 (11) and Note No.9 of theStandalone Financial Statements.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio is technicallyestimated initially at the beginning of the Mines andlater on periodically assessed for which no standardswritten policy are there. Normally review donewithin a period of 3 to 4 years as informed to us.

In case of Open cast mines, the expenditure onremoval of waste and overburden, is capitalizedand the same is depleted in relation to actual oreproduction during the year on the stripping ratiowhich is re-assessed periodically based on theestimated ore reserve as well as the quantity ofwaste excavation in respect of open cast mines.

Assessment of Stripping ratio is uniquely appliedunder the Mining industries which involvessignificant judgment to determine the ratio and thatalso keep on change from time to time. This ratiohas been changed subsequently based on the actualoutput of overburden and Ore exposed during theproduction stage of the mines.

We have identified this area as key audit matterdue to its nature as industry specific andinvolvement of technical assumptions andjudgments in calculation of stripping ratio. Furtherit has a material impact on the financial statementsbeing this year company has amortized ` 20074.56lakh (PY:- ` 11970.45 lakh) as Mine developmentexpenditure for open cast mines.

Impact of Change in Accounting Policy

During the year company has changed its accountingpolicy in respect of provision for Mines closureexpenditure as per the regulatory require-ments.Refer Note No.38 (25) of the standalonefinancial statements

We have considered this as Key Audit Matter as non-implementation of the change in accounting policyin the system may have significant impact on thefinancial statements.


Our audit approach consisted testing of the designand operating effectiveness of the internal controlsand substantive testing as follows:

� We went through the current status of the miningat different mines

� We discussed with the management about thestripping procedure adopted in the industry aswell practice followed by the company

� Procedure followed by the management towardsIdentification of expenditures incurred in surfacemines during production stage

� Understanding the computation of Stripping ratioinitially made and documents made available tous.

� We have checked the stripping ratio to be chargedunder amortization for mine developmentexpenditure for balance period of mines

� Discussion with the core technical team involvein this process

� Reliance is placed on the representations of themanagement.


� We have discussed the change in accounting policywith the management and

� Verify the implementation of the change in thebooks of accounts.

error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 ofSection 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan Copper Limited (hereinafterreferred as “the Company”) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statementsof the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls basedon the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential componentsof internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issuedby the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficientconduct of its business, including adherence to respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the preventionand detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparationof reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Companybased on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial ControlsOver Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standardson Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internalfinancial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and planand perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financialreporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controlssystem over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financialreporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the riskthat a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controlbased on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of therisks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinionon the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reportingincludes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accuratelyand fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance thattransactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding preventionor timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility ofcollusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and notbe detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periodsare subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because ofchanges in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in allmaterial respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial

controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control overfinancial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control statedin the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India. However certain areas need further improvement in designing the "Documentation on InternalFinancial Controls" of the Company by way of improving the fixed assets accounting, cash and bank management,payable management, receivable management,inventory management, elaborating the process flow by which thetransactions are initiated, authorized, processed, recorded, and reported at department level. System integration tocapture the transactions that relates to financial statements and events/conditions and other transactions significant tothe financial statements has to be designed properly so as to fulfill the objectives of control criteria established by theCompany. Further modification of finance/accounts manual needs to be done incorporating the Indian Accounting Standardrequirements to have effective internal control over financial reporting.

However, our opinion is not qualified in the above respect.

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanyingdisclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could resultin outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if material, theireffects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.2.4 Current and Non-current ClassificationThe Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.An asset istreated as current by the company when:


b) it holds the assets primarily for the purpose of trading;c) it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting date; ord) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged

2.5 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined takinginto account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expensesand discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of Products

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri andMalanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standardparameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is asper consistent practice followed by the company.

Sale of Services

Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of atransaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction shallbe recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end ofthe reporting period.

e. Others


2.6 Employees Benefit

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefitsPayments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have renderedservice entitling them to the contributions.For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit creditmethod, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprisingactuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets(excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized inother comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensiveincome is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Pastservice cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated byapplying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costsare categorized as follows:

i. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, etc.);ii. Net interest expense or income; and

iii. Re-measurement.The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'employee benefitsexpense'.The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplusin the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of anyeconomic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer ofthe termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs.Short-term and other long-term employee benefitsA liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leavein the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchangefor that service.Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefitsexpected to be paid in exchange for the related service.Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimatedfuture cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reportingdate.Deficit in Provident Fund

Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust isaccounted for as a charge to Revenue. F-153

82

2.7 Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes asubstantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All otherborrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculatedusing the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

2.8 Taxation


Current tax

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented inStatement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reportingperiod.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financialstatements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generallyrecognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporarydifferences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which theliability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enactedby the end of the reporting period.


Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that arerecognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are alsorecognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

2.9 (a) Property Plant and Equipment (PPE)

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associatedwith the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is thecash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts andrebates.

ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable ofoperating in the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located,the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used thePPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognitionas an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairmentlosses.

Pending reconciliation/receipt of the final bills against capital items, capitalization is done on the basis of cost bookedand depreciation is charged accordingly. Price differences, if any, are adjusted in the year of finalization of bills.

In respect of expenditure during construction/development of a new unit/project in a new location, all direct capitalexpenditure as well as all indirect expenditure incidentals to construction are capitalized allocating to various items ofPPE on an appropriate basis. Expansion programme involving construction concurrently run with normal production


F-154

83

activities in an existing unit, all direct capital expenditure in relation to such expansion are capitalized but indirectexpenditure are charged to revenue. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifyingasset are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial periodof time to get ready for its intended use.

Expenses incurred for implementation of new projects are carried forward against respective projects till execution.Expenses rendered in fructuous projects abandoned subsequently are provided for in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Physical verification of PPE is conducted every year so that all the units/offices are covered once in a block of three yearsinterval. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts inthe year of identification.


The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and Equipment(PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.

The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C ofSchedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the company,whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each partof an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciationon all such items have been provided from the date they are 'Put to Use' till the date of sale and includes amortization ofintangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at5% of the original cost of individual asset.

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continueduse of the asset. Certain consumable items of small value whose useful life is very limited are directly charged to revenuein the year of purchase.

From the date Ind AS came into effect, the carrying amount of an asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life of theasset as per estimate of remaining useful life. Wherever, the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the carrying amountis recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings after retaining the residual value.

2.9 (b) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquiredin a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets arecarried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) andaccumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the relatedexpenditure is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which theexpenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditionsstipulated in "Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset" are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite orindefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairmentwhenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisationmethod for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changesin the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset areconsidered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date andits useful life is reviewed in each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support anindefinite useful life estimate.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Intangible Assets other than Software are amortized over estimated useful life which is equivalent to license period,generally not more than 5 years.

Cost of Software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal right to usewith a nil residual value. Otherwise the cost of software will be charged in the year of incurrence.

2.10 Capital Work in Progress

Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work -in-progress and are carried at cost,less any recognizedimpairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property,plant and equipment.

2.11 Mine Development Expenditure

In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequentdevelopment of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineableore reserves estimated from time to time.

In case of working mines, where development activities are going on simultaneously: Expenses are apportioned betweencapital and revenue on the basis of in-house technical estimates.

In respect of open cast mines : The expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same isdepleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodicallybased on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines. Subsequently,if any ore is reclaimed from overburden, the same is included in inventory at a value based on opening rate of minedevelopment expenditure with a corresponding credit in Mine development expenditure.

Expenditure incurred on development of new deposits are capital in nature and is included in mine developmentexpenditure. If subsequently the development activities are found to be not viable, the expenditure on such developmentwork included in mine development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is decided to abandon the project.

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related tothat mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the mine.If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the company remains the owner of the mines, the unamortizedMine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in the books ofaccounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated remaining lifeof that mine.

2.12 Overhauling Expenses

Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit andLoss in the year of incurrence.

2.13 Mine Closure Expenditure

Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated andMine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statementof Profit and Loss.

2.14 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will berecovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initialclassification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets andliabilities in the group) are be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should beexpected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permittedby Ind AS 105.

2.15 Inventories

Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable valueand cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unitif the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued arecharged off to revenue.

Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to theunit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc. The value ofslag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where the said productshave been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent value of concentrate)and net realizable value.


F-156

85

The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on theyearend London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery andthe treatment and refining charges.

The inventories out of inter-unit transfers (material in transit) at the close of the year are valued and accounted in thebooks of the transferor unit on the basis of cost plus transportation to the transferee unit.

Imported materials are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost. In the event wherefinal price is not determined valuation is made on provisional cost. Variations are accounted for in the year of finalization.

Provision is made in the accounts every year, for non-moving stores and spares (other than insurance spares) which havenot moved for more than five years. Insurance spares are fully provided for on the expiry of the life of the relevantProperty Plant and Equipments.

Physical verification of Semi-Finished and In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is conducted departmentally in all theunits at reasonable intervals during the year by a duly approved committee. Also, physical stock verification of WIP andFinished Goods is undertaken by a duly approved committee at the end of every financial year alongwith an independentagency once in a block of three years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical verification is carried out by externalagencies once in every year covering all the units. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification isduly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification

2.16 Government Grants

All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over theperiod of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.

2.17 Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets)

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of anasset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement ofProfit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated asa revaluation decrease.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, theestimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cashflows have not been adjusted.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increasedto the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit)in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless therelevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluationincrease.

2.18 Foreign Exchange Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the ratesof exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the ratesprevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measuredin terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign currency monetary items (except overdue recoverable where realizability is uncertain) are converted using theclosing rate as defined in the Ind AS-21. The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, non-monetary items arereported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The exchange difference gain/loss is recognized in theStatement of Profit and Loss.

In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016,liability in foreign currencyloans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21. The effects of


F-157

86

changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraphD13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the company isaccounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shallbe depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in 'Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account' and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in eachof such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind AS 21.

2.19 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past eventand it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation.

Wherever no reliable estimate could be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingentliability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not require anoutflow of resources.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,no provision or disclosure is made.


Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assetsoccur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it is virtuallycertain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in thefinancial statements.

2.20 Leasing

Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to lessee areclassified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss if they are not directly attributable toqualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the company's general policy on borrowing costs.


2.21 Financial InstrumentsNon Derivative Financial Instruments

(i) Initial RecognitionFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financialassets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to theacquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediatelyin profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent Recognitiona. Financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive incomeor fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) methodexcept for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.


F-158

87


All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss forthe period.


At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantlyor not since initial recognition.

If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance ismeasured for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses. If the credit risk on thatfinancial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for a financialinstrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date isrecognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.22 Events Occurring after the Reporting Period

The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after thereporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However,where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to theexistence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes onAccounts.

2.23 Dividend

Final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting andinterim dividend is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board ofDirectors.

2.24 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with anoriginal maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.25 Rounding of amounts

Amounts in these financial statements have, unless otherwise indicated, have been rounded off to ‘` in lakh’ upto twodecimal points.

1. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Commodity Futures Contractsare not designated as hedging instruments and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity price risk exposureof the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchangeforward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currencyexposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.

Commodity price riskThe Company purchases copper blister/ anode on an ongoing basis for its operating activities in its Gujarat CopperProject plant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices in the internationalmarket has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts.

These contracts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price fluctuationsof copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Rsk Management Policy approved bythe Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1 and 4 months based on existing purchaseagreements. The Company designated only the spot-to-spot movement of the entire commodity purchase price as thehedged risk. It has been decided by the company not to follow the hedge accounting for these instruments.

As at 31 March 2019, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is nil.

3. The Management considers the Service fees of ` 15 lakh paid on the Exim Bank Term loan amounting to` 30000 lakh drawn on 29.05.2018 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee was only 0.009% of the Turnover (FY2018-19) of the company and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation atinitial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, thecarrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower than the rate ofinterest of Exim Bank loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

Similarly, the Management considers the total of Upfront fees & Other charges of ` 245.33 lakh paid on the SBIECB loan amounting to ` 17734.75 lakh drawn during July 2018 to January 2019 as immaterial, as the amount ofsuch fees/charges was only 0.140% of the Turnover (FY 2018-19) of the company and hence the same was notconsidered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, theManagement assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair valueas no loan could be provided at a rate lower than the rate of interest of SBI ECB loan for similar terms and conditionsof the loan at that point of time.

The Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts andother current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of theseinstruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The followingmethods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally with financialinstitutions having Investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity futurecontracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The mostfrequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing .

4. Fair Value Hierarchy

� Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in activemarkets.

� Level 2 - Level 2 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs other than quoted pricesincluded within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly(i.e. derived from prices).

� Level 3 - Level 3 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs that are not based on observablemarket data (unobservable inputs).

Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, otherthan those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:

The Anode Furnace and Refinery unit has been commissionedin October 2016 while Kaldo unit is yet to be commissioned. Since commissioning, the Anode Furnace and Refineryunits are being operated at a sub optimal level for want of feed stock. GCP being a secondary smelter, the feed stockare copper scrap, copper blister, liberator cathode etc. The Company has not been able to source these materials inthe required quantity resulting in suboptimal operations.The profit margin of GCP will essentially come from the operation of Kaldo furnace which has the ability to processall types of secondary copper material including scrap. The second phase of refurbishment at GCP includes Kaldofurnace, converter, slag granulation, ETP, etc. which is completed during the current FY 2018-19 and test run hasalso being successfully completed with the low quality raw material copper content as low as 30% copper which isgenerated internally in other units.Management is trying to make the project viable and exploring to source the scrap materials directly from the worldmarket. It is expected that scrap materials will be available during the FY 2019-20 to perform at the desired level.

Assessment of Stripping Ratio and charging ofoverburden expenditure during productionstage of surface mines to Mines DevelopmentExpenditure and Profit and Loss account

Referred in Note No.2 (11) and Note No.9 of theconsolidated financial statements.Assessment of Stripping Ratio is technicallyestimated initially at the beginning of the Mines andlater on periodically assessed for which no standardswritten policy are there. Normally review donewithin a period of 3 to 4 years as informed to us.In case of Open cast mines, the expenditure onremoval of waste and overburden, is capitalized andthe same is depleted in relation to actual oreproduction during the year on the stripping ratiowhich is re-assessed periodically based on theestimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of wasteexcavation in respect of open cast mines.Assessment of Stripping ratio is uniquely appliedunder the Mining industries which involvessignificant judgment to determine the ratio and thatalso keep on change from time to time. This ratiohas been changed subsequently based on the actualoutput of overburden and Ore exposed during theproduction stage of the mines.We have identified this area as key audit matterdue to its nature as industry specific andinvolvement of technical assumptions andjudgments in calculation of stripping ratio. Furtherit has a material impact on the consolidated financialstatements being this year company has amortized` 20074.56. lakh (PY: - ` 11970.45 lakh) as Minedevelopment expenditure for open cast mines.Impact of Change in Accounting PolicyDuring the year the Group has changed itsaccounting policy in respect of provision for Minesclosure expenditure as per the regulatoryrequirements. Refer Note No.38 (25) of theconsolidated financial statements.We have considered this as Key Audit Matter as non-implementation of the change in accounting policyin the system may have significant impact on thefinancial statements.

The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Report of the Board of Directors, Management Discussion and Analysis Report, Report on CSR activities,Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance Report and other annexure to Directors Report includingShareholder's Information, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated FinancialStatements

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the CompaniesAct, 2013 ("The Act") with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true andfair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, changes in equity and consolidatedcash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theaccounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies includedin the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theconsolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements by theDirectors of the Holding company ,as aforesaid..

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in theGroup are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors eitherintends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group is also responsible for overseeing the financialreporting process of the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:

� Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

� Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

� Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.

� Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continueas a going concern.

� Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.

� Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the companies within the Group toexpress an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision andperformance of the audit of the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidated financial statementsof which we are the Independent auditors. For the other companies included in the consolidated financial statements,which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervisionand performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 ofSection 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended March 31,2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Hindustan Copper Limited (hereinafterreferred as “the Holding company”) as of March 31, 2019 and considered the report of auditor of the subsidiarycompany as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding company and subsidiary company are responsible for establishing andmaintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by theGroup considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal FinancialControls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilitiesinclude the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective company's policies, thesafeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act,2013.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Group basedon our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls OverFinancial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standardson Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internalfinancial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and planand perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financialreporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controlssystem over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financialreporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the riskthat a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controlbased on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of therisks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and audit evidence obtain by the Other auditors in terms of theirreports referred to in the "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinion on the Group's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reportingincludes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accuratelyand fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance thattransactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding preventionor timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility ofcollusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and notbe detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periodsare subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because ofchanges in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

However at Holding company, certain areas need further improvement in designing the "Documentation onInternal Financial Controls" of the Holding company by way of improving the fixed assets accounting, cash and bankmanagement, payable management, receivable management, inventory management, elaborating the process flow bywhich the transactions are initiated, authorized, processed, recorded, and reported at department level. System integrationto capture the transactions that relates to financial statements and events/conditions and other transactions significantto the financial statements has to be designed properly so as to fulfill the objectives of control criteria established by theHolding company. Further modification of finance/accounts manual needs to be done incorporating the Indian AccountingStandard requirements to have effective internal control over financial reporting.

However, our opinion is not qualified in the above respect.

Other Matters

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.An asset istreated as current by the company when:




d) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchangedor used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.



a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;




e) it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after thereporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by theissue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.



Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined takinginto account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expensesand discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of Products


(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customarybusiness practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;



(d) the contract has commercial substance i.e the risk, ownership, timing or amount of the entity's future cash flowsetc is expected to change as a result of the contract; and

(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods thatwill be transferred to the customer.

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri andMalanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standardparameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is asper consistent practice followed by the company.

Sale of Services

Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of a

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd.)

F-212

141

transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction shallbe recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end ofthe reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer's deposits unless the above conditions for revenuerecognition are met.


a. Sale of Scrap


b. Interest received from Customers

In case of credit sales ,interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on accrualbasis.


Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for onaccrual basis.


Penalty and liquidated damages are accounted for as and when these are realised by the company as per contractterms.

Other Income

a. Claims

Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from Governmenttowards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses,etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim andthat can be measured reliably.


Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive thedividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount ofincome can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the economicbenefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.


Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the differencebetween the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.



e. Others




Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have renderedservice entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit creditmethod, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprisingactuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets(excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in


F-213

142

other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensiveincome is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Pastservice cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated byapplying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costsare categorized as follows:




The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'employee benefitsexpense'.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplusin the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of anyeconomic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer ofthe termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs.


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leavein the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchangefor that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefitsexpected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimatedfuture cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reportingdate.


Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust isaccounted for as a charge to Revenue.

2.8 Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes asubstantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All otherborrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculatedusing the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

2.9 Taxation


Current tax

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented inStatement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reportingperiod.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financialstatements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generallyrecognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporarydifferences can be utilized.


F-214

143

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which theliability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enactedby the end of the reporting period.


Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that arerecognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are alsorecognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

2.10 (a) Property Plant and Equipment (PPE)

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associatedwith the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is thecash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts andrebates.

ii. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operatingin the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located,the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used thePPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognitionas an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairmentlosses.

Pending reconciliation/receipt of the final bills against capital items, capitalization is done on the basis of cost bookedand depreciation is charged accordingly. Price differences, if any, are adjusted in the year of finalization of bills.

In respect of expenditure during construction/development of a new unit/project in a new location, all direct capitalexpenditure as well as all indirect expenditure incidentals to construction are capitalized allocating to various items ofPPE on an appropriate basis. Expansion programme involving construction concurrently run with normal productionactivities in an existing unit, all direct capital expenditure in relation to such expansion are capitalized but indirectexpenditure are charged to revenue. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifyingasset are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial periodof time to get ready for its intended use.

Expenses incurred for implementation of new projects are carried forward against respective projects till execution.Expenses rendered in fructuous projects abandoned subsequently are provided for in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

Physical verification of PPE is conducted every year so that all the units/offices are covered once in a block of three yearsinterval. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts inthe year of identification.


The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and Equipment(PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.

The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C ofSchedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the company,whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each partof an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciationon all such items have been provided from the date they are 'Put to Use' till the date of sale and includes amortization ofintangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at5% of the original cost of individual asset.


F-215

144

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continueduse of the asset. Certain consumable items of small value whose useful life is very limited are directly charged to revenuein the year of purchase.

From the date Ind AS came into effect, the carrying amount of an asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life of theasset as per estimate of remaining useful life. Wherever, the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the carrying amountis recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings after retaining the residual value.

2.10 (b) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquiredin a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets arecarried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) andaccumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the relatedexpenditure is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which theexpenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditionsstipulated in "Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset" are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite orindefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairmentwhenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisationmethod for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changesin the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset areconsidered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each reporting date andits useful life is reviewed in each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support anindefinite useful life estimate.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Intangible Assets other than Software are amortized over estimated useful life which is equivalent to license period,generally not more than 5 years.

Cost of Software recognized as intangible asset, is amortised on straight line method over a period of legal right to usewith a nil residual value. Otherwise the cost of software will be charged in the year of incurrence.


Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work -in-progress and are carried at cost,less any recognizedimpairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property,plant and equipment.

2.12 (a) Mine Development Expenditure

In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequentdevelopment of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineableore reserves estimated from time to time.

In case of working mines, where development activities are going on simultaneously: Expenses are apportionedbetween capital and revenue on the basis of in-house technical estimates.

In respect of open cast mines : The expenditure on removal of waste and overburden, is capitalized and the same isdepleted in relation to actual ore production during the year on the stripping ratio which is re-assessed periodicallybased on the estimated ore reserve as well as the quantity of waste excavation in respect of open cast mines. Subsequently,if any ore is reclaimed from overburden, the same is included in inventory at a value based on opening rate of minedevelopment expenditure with a corresponding credit in Mine development expenditure.

Expenditure incurred on development of new deposits are capital in nature and is included in mine developmentexpenditure. If subsequently the development activities are found to be not viable, the expenditure on such developmentwork included in mine development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is decided to abandon the project.


F-216

145

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related tothat mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the mine.If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the company remains the owner of the mines, the unamortizedMine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in the books ofaccounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated remaining lifeof that mine.

2.12 (b) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

2.12 (b) (i) Pre-exploration costs


2.12 (b) (ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (E & E Assets)

Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluationexpenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include suchcosts as acquisition of rights to explore, materials used, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical evaluation,surveying costs, sampling, drilling costs, activities in relation to evaluation of technical feasibility and commercial viabilityof extracting a mineral resource, consultancy cost, payments made to contractors etc. during the exploration phase. Costsnot directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities are expensed in the period in which they occur.


E & E Assets may be tangible or intangible. To the extent that a tangible asset is consumed in developing an intangibleasset, the amount reflecting that consumption may be part of the cost of the intangible asset created. However, the assetbeing used remains a tangible asset.

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects for the Company, exploration and evaluationexpenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditurecosts, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to Statement of Profit &Loss.

The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that thecarrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, theproperty is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as "mines under construction".

Exploration and evaluation Assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to developmentproperties.

As the Company currently has not commenced commercial operations, any incidental revenues, including receipt of inputtax credit receivables, earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized explorationcosts.

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determinethe recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does notexceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had beenrecognized.


Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit andLoss in the year of incurrence.

2.14 Mine Closure Expenditure & Decommissioning / Site restoration liability

Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated andMine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statementof Profit and Loss.


The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will berecovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initialclassification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and


F-217

146

liabilities in the group) are be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should beexpected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permittedby Ind AS 105.

2.16 Inventories

Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable valueand cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unitif the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued arecharged off to revenue.

Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to theunit. The cost is exclusive of financing cost, such as, interest, bank charges, administration overhead, etc. The value ofslag under work-in-process is taken at equivalent value to the extent credited to the process, where the said productshave been generated. The reverts under work- in-process are valued at lower of cost (equivalent value of concentrate) andnet realizable value.

The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the yearend London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery and thetreatment and refining charges.

The inventories out of inter-unit transfers (material in transit) at the close of the year are valued and accounted in thebooks of the transferor unit on the basis of cost plus transportation to the transferee unit.

Imported materials are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost. In the event wherefinal price is not determined valuation is made on provisional cost. Variations are accounted for in the year of finalization.

Provision is made in the accounts every year, for non-moving stores and spares (other than insurance spares) which havenot moved for more than five years. Insurance spares are fully provided for on the expiry of the life of the relevantProperty Plant and Equipments.

Physical verification of Semi-Finished and In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is conducted departmentally in all theunits at reasonable intervals during the year by a duly approved committee. Also, physical stock verification of WIP andFinished Goods is undertaken by a duly approved committee at the end of every financial year alongwith an independentagency once in a block of three years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical verification is carried out by externalagencies once in every year covering all the units. Shortage/(Excesses), if any, identified on such physical verification isduly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification


All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over theperiod of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.


The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of anasset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement ofProfit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated asa revaluation decrease.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, theestimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cashflows have not been adjusted.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increasedto the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit)in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset iscarried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.


F-218

147


Transactions in currencies other than the company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the ratesof exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the ratesprevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measuredin terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign currency monetary items (except overdue recoverable where realizability is uncertain) are converted using theclosing rate as defined in the Ind AS-21. The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, non-monetary items arereported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The exchange difference gain/loss is recognized in theStatement of Profit and Loss.

In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016, liability in foreign currencyloans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21-The effects ofchanges in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraphD13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the company isaccounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shallbe depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in 'Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account' and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in eachof such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind AS 21.


Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past eventand it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation.

Wherever no reliable estimate could be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingentliability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not require anoutflow of resources.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,no provision or disclosure is made.


Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assetsoccur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it is virtuallycertain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in thefinancial statements.

2.21 Leasing

Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to lessee areclassified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss if they are not directly attributable toqualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the company's general policy on borrowing costs.


2.22 Financial Instruments



Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof the instruments.


F-219

148

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributableto the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilitiesat fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financialliabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financialassets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.


a. Financial assetsFinancial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income orfair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial LiabilitiesFinancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) methodexcept for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.


All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss forthe period.

Impairment of Financial Assets

At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantlyor not since initial recognition.

If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance ismeasured for that financialinstrument at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses. If the credit risk on thatfinancial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for a financialinstrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date isrecognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.


The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after thereporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. Howeverwhere retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to theexistence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes onAccounts.

2.24 Dividend

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting andinterim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board ofDirectors.


Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with anoriginal maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.


Amounts in these financial statements have, unless otherwise indicated, have been rounded off to ‘ in lakh’ upto twodecimal points.

1. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Group uses Commodity Futures Contracts to manage its commodity price risk . The Commodity Futures Contractsare not designated as hedging instrumnets and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity price risk exposureof the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.

The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchangeforward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currencyexposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.

Commodity price risk

The Group purchases copper blister/ anode on an ongoing basis for its operating activities in its Gujarat Copper Projectplant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices in the internationalmarket has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts.

These contracts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatility attributable to price fluctuationsof copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Rsk Management Policy approved bythe Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1 and 4 months based on existing purchaseagreements. The Group designated only the spot-to-spot movement of the entire commodity purchase price as the hedgedrisk. It has been decided by the company not to follow the hedge accounting for these instruments.

As at 31 March 2019, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is nil.

3. The Management considers the Service fees of `15 lakh paid on the Exim Bank Term loan amounting to ` 30000 lakhdrawn on 29.05.2018 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee was only 0.009% of the Turnover (FY 2018-19) of theGroup and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition underINDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is consideredas its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower than the rate of interest of Exim Bank loan for similar termsand conditions of the loan at that point of time.

Similarly, the Management considers the total of Upfront fees & Other charges of ` 245.33 lakh paid on the SBI ECBloan amounting to ` 17734.75 lakh drawn during July 2018 to January 2019 as immaterial, as the amount of such fees/charges was only 0.140% of the Turnover (FY 2018-19) of the company and hence the same was not considered as a

transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessedthat for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be providedat a rate lower that the rate of interest of SBI ECB loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

The Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and othercurrent liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchangedin a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods andassumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally with financial institutionshaving Investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are valuedusing valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuationtechniques include forward pricing .


Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets.

Level 2 - Level 2 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs other than quoted prices includedwithin Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.derived from prices).

Level 3 - Level 3 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using inputs that are not based on observablemarket data (unobservable inputs).

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Report on Review of the Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

To The Board of Directors of Hindustan Copper Limited

Kolkata

Introduction

1) We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Standalone Unaudited Balance Sheet of Hindustan Copper Limited (hereinafter referred to as "The Company") as on 31 December 2020 and the related Condensed Standalone Unaudited Profit and Loss Account, Condensed Standalone Unaudited Cash Flows Statement and Condensed Standalone Unaudited Statement of Changes in Equity of the Company for the nine months period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other respective select explanatory notes (hereinafter referred to as the "Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim Financial

Statements").

2) The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles of Indian Accounting Standard 34-"Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued there-under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim Financial Statements are the responsibility of the

Company's management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our

responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim

Financial Statements based on our review.

Scope of Review 3) We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE)

2410-"Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of people responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on

Page 1 of 3

F-360

Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that can be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

4) Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the following matters:

a) Title deeds for freehold and leasehold land and building acquired in respect of Gujarat Copper Project (GCP) with book value of INR 5365.75 Lakh are yet to be executed in favour of the company. Title deeds for freehold and leasehold lands or other evidences of title in respect of lands at KCC,MCP and ICC as stated by the management is in the process of the reconciliation with financial records; and

b) Gujarat Copper project valuing INR 27559.37 Lakh where the project is not operating due to various constraints, viability assessment needs to be done to evaluate and

adjust for possible impairment loss, if any.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Conclusion

5) Based on our review conducted as above, subject to limitation in scope as mentioned in paragraph 2 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Condensed Standalone Unaudited Interim Financial Statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Indian Accounting Standard 34-"Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued there-under and other

accounting principles generally accepted in India.

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if material their effects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.


The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset are treated as current by the company when:




F-368

d) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted t o from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.



a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;







Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined taking into account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri and Malanjkhand origin, sales / tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is as per consistent practice followed by the company.

Sale of Services

Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably,

F-369

revenue associated with the transaction shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer's deposits unless the above conditions for revenue recognition are met.


a. Sale of Scrap



In case of credit sales ,interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on accrual basis.


Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for on accrual basis.



Other Income

a. Claims

Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from Government towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim and that can be measured reliably.


Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive the dividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.


Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.



e. Others


F-370

F)-




For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net

interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

i. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, etc.); ii. Net interest expense or income; and iii. Re-measurement.

The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'employee benefits expense'.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the company defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the company recognises any related restructuring costs,


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.


Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.


Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust is accounted for as a charge to Revenue.

2.7 Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

2.8 Taxation


Current tax

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act 1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.




Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

2.9(a) Property Plant and Equipments (PPE)

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:


U. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

F-372

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the company incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

The company has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.






The company has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and Equipment (PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.

The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the company, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are 'Put to Use' till the date of sale and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.



2.9(b) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

F-373

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditions stipulated in "Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset" are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.






Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work -in-progress and are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment.

2.11 Mine Development Expenditure

In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineable ore reserves estimated from time to time.




F-374

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Expenditure related to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year decided to close or suspend operation of the mine. If later on, the closed / suspended opened and the company remains the owner of the mines, the unamortized Mine Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in accounts in the year of re-opening and the company will be depleting it year wise estimated remaining life of that mine.

Development in which it is mines are re-Development the books of based on the

6


Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the year of incurrence. 2.13 Mine Closure Expenditure

Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated and Mine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statement of Profit and Loss.


The company classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are to be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permitted by Ind AS 105.

2.15 Inventories

Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued are charged off to revenue.


The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the yearend London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery and the treatment and refining charges.




F-375



All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.


The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.




Transactions in currencies other than the company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.



In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016,liability in foreign currency loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as

R

F-376

defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and the difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the company is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in 'Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account' and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind As 21.


Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.




Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it's virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in the financial statements.

2.20 Leasing

Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to lessee are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss if they are not directly attributable to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the company's general policy on borrowing costs.





Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate,

40-

F-377

ffi on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.


a. Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.


All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss for the period.


At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly or not since initial recognition.




The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

2.23 Dividends

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders in general meeting and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the directors in the meeting of the Board of Directors.


Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposit with an original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.


Amounts in these financial statements have, unless otherwise indicated, have been rounded off to 'Rupees in lakh' upto two decimal points.

27. Copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable minerals and metals from copper ore tails with a capacity of 10000 tonnes per day (TPD) at an estimated cost of 20000 lakh. The intermittent trial run failed on number of occasions (chockage/ spillage, stoppages, cleaning etc) and the quality and quantity of products achieved at various stages are not as per the parameters envisaged in contract agreement. A preliminary notice was issued to the party to complete the project and commission the same. The party agreed to commission the plant, but the progress of the work at site was stopped due to lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic. The company has extended the timeline upto 31.08.2020 for supply, erection of the thickener and commission of the plant. But the party failed to execute the contract and the contract got terminated with efflux of time.

28. Consequent upon the Judgment of Common Cause dated 02.08.2017, which is applicable only to the mining leases of iron and manganese ore, passed by the Apex court in the case of Common Cause Vs U01 and others, a demand of 4353.78 lakh was raised by the District Mining Officer of Jamshedpur for running the Surda mine without valid environment clearance (EC) although Surda mine has a valid mining lease, forest clearance and it has adhered to the terms of approved mining plan and it was working on valid Consent to Operate. Based on the Revision Application filed by the company, the Revisional Authority of the Ministry of Mines, after hearing at length both parties had issued specific direction against the District Mining Officer (DMO) not to take any coercive measures in terms of recovery of the said demand. On revision of demand from 4353.78 lakh to 12690.49 lakh by the office of the District Mining Officer and subsequently revised to 92940.06 lakh by the State Government, the company again appealed before the Revisional Authority and hearing was held on 14.11.2019 and interim stay is granted by the Revisional Authority till the next date of hearing. Since at present mining leases of copper ore are not included under Common Cause Judgement, the Management, based on the legal opinion, is of the view that the same has not to be shown as Contingent Liability as on 31.12.2020.

29. The cost of production per unit has gone up owing to low volume of production during the nine months ended 31.12.2020 due to measures taken by the Government of India to contain COVID-19 pandemic situation prevalent in the country. Post unlocking of the lockdown, the Company's operations are gradually stabilizing. The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these financial results including recoverability of carrying amounts of financial and non-financial assets. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes arising out of future economic conditions and the resultant impact on its business.

30. The company has not changed any accounting policies during preparation of Condensed Interim Unaudited Financial Statements for Nine months ended 315t December 2020 w.r.t to accounting policies of previous financial year. This Condensed Interim Unaudited Financial Statements has been prepared by the company for internal use with regards to the proposed Qualified Institutional Placement of equity share of the Group. Accordingly , this financial statement should not be used, referred to or distributed for any other purpose.

31. The previous year's figures are not comparable with the current period figures since the current period consists of 9 months. The previous year's figures have been regrouped / rearranged, wherever necessary.

2.Sionificant Accounting Policies



2.2 Basis of consolidation

2.2.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date when control ceases.


The Company combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, cash flows, income and expenses, Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Company companies are eliminated.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

F-415

2.2.2 Joint Ventures

Joint Ventures are those joint arrangements whereby the Company is having rights to the net assets of the arrangements. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost.

2.2.3 Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of post-acquisition profit or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Company's share of Other Comprehensive Income of the investee in the Other Comprehensive Income.


The Group adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) from April 1,2016 and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles as notified by MCA under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 ("Ind AS Rules"), as amended and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Group has adopted all the Ind AS as applicable and relevant to the Group.


The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period on which the estimates are revised and, if material their effects are disclosed on the notes to the financial statements.


The Group presents assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset are treated as current by the Group when:




d) the asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined under Ind AS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the

reporting period.


A liability is treated as current by the Group when:

a) its expects to settle the liability realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it in its normal

operating cycle;


c) it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading; Sri--

F-416





Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and fair value has been defined taking into account contractually defined terms of payment. Operating revenue recognized is net of all promotional expenses and discounts, rebates and/or any other incentive to customers.

Sale of Products





(d) the contract has commercial substance i.e the risk, ownership, timing or amount of the entity's future cash flows etc is expected to change as a result of the contract; and


In case of sale of Copper Concentrate, Copper Reverts, Anode Slime etc. and tolling of Copper Concentrate of Khetri and Malanjkhand origin, sales /tolling at the end of the accounting period are recorded on provisional basis as per standard parameters for want of actual specifications and differential sales value are recorded only on receipt of actual. This is as per consistent practice followed by the Group.

Sale of Services

Income from conversion of job work is accounted for on the basis of actual quantity dispatched. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the transaction shall be recognized by reference to the stage of completion (Percentage of Completion Method) of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

Advances received from the customers are reported as customer's deposits unless the above conditions for revenue recognition are met.


a. Sale of Scrap

Sale of Scrap is accounted for on delivery of material. Si--

F-417


In case of credit sales ,interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all outstanding bills is accounted for on accrual basis.


Interest up to the date of Balance Sheet on all mobilisation advances for mining operations is accounted for on accrual basis.



Other Income

a. Claims

Claims are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss (Net of any payable) including receivables from Government towards subsidy, cash incentives, reimbursement of losses, etc, when there is certainty of realisation of such claim and that can be measured reliably.


Dividend income from Investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive the dividend has been established and it is certain that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised using Effective Interest Method. When it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.


Profit on sale of investment is recognised upon transfer of title by the Group and is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.



e. Others





For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected

t4"--

F-418

immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other he comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit or Loss. Past service cost is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:


ii.Net interest expense or income; and

iii. Re-measurement. The Group presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'employee benefits expense'.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Group recognises any related restructuring costs.


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.


Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.


Deficit, if any, in the accounts of Provident Fund Trust ascertained on the basis of last audited accounts of the Trust is accounted for as a charge to Revenue.

2.8 Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs

F-419

61 2.9Taxation


Current tax

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year as determined from net profit before tax as represented in Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in line with different provisions under Income Tax Act 1961.Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.




Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

2.10(a) Property Plant and Equipments (PPE)

The cost of an item of PPE is recognized as an asset if and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

U. Costs directly attributable to bringing the PPE to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

iii. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the PPE is acquired or as a consequence of having used the PPE during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

F-420

The Group has chosen the cost model of recognition and this model is applied to an entire class of PPE. After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.






The Group has used the exemption available in Ind AS 101 with respect to recognition of Plant, Property and Equipment (PPE) and Intangible Assets at their carrying value being deemed cost.

The depreciable amount of an item of PPE is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 or actual useful life of assets assessed by the Technical Committee of the Group, whichever is lower. The residual value and the useful life of an asset are reviewed, at each financial year-end. Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation on all such items have been provided from the date they are 'Put to Use' till the date of sale and includes amortization of intangible assets and lease hold assets. Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value of all such items is taken at 5% of the original cost of individual asset.



2.10(b) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation (calculated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives) and accumulated impairment losses, if

any. joie_

F-421

63 Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognized if all the conditions stipulated in "Ind AS 38-Intangible Asset" are met. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.






Assets in the course of construction are included under capital work -in-progress and are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Such capital work-in-progress, on completion, is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment.

2.12 (a) Mine Development Expenditure

In case of underground mines : The expenditure on development of a new mine in all cases and on subsequent development of a working mine is capitalized and depleted on the basis of ore raised during the year and the mineable ore reserves estimated from time to time.




F-422

If a working mine is closed due to economic reasons, the un-depleted value of Mine Development Expenditure related to that mine is provided in the books of accounts in the year in which it is decided to close or suspend operation of the mine. If later on, the closed / suspended mines are re-opened and the Group remains the owner of the mines, the unamortized Mine Development Expenditure which was fully provided in the year of closure will be written back in the books of accounts in the year of re-opening and the Group will be depleting it year wise based on the estimated remaining life of that mine.

2.12(b) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

2.12(b)(i) Pre-exploration costs


2.12(b) (ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (E & E Assets)

Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as acquisition of rights to explore, materials used, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical evaluation, surveying costs, sampling, drilling costs, activities in relation to evaluation of technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource, consultancy cost, payments made to contractors etc. during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities are expensed in the period in which they occur.


E & E Assets may be tangible or intangible. To the extent that a tangible asset is consumed in developing an intangible asset, the amount reflecting that consumption may be part of the cost of the intangible asset created. However, the asset being used remains a tangible asset.

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects for the Group, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to Statement of Profit &Loss.

The Group assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as "mines under construction".

Exploration and evaluation Assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

As the Group currently has not commenced commercial operations, any incidental revenues, including receipt of input tax credit receivables, earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

2.130verhauling Expenses

Revenue expenditure attributable to overhaul of smelter and/ or refinery is charged off to the

•40.114 Statement of Profit & Loss in the year of incurrence.

F-423

6C 2.14 Mine Closure Expenditure & Decommissioning/Site restoration liability

Financial implications towards final mine closure plans under relevant Acts and Rules are technically estimated and Mine Closure Reserve is created based on the estimated life of the mines over the period by charging the same to Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.15Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group of assets) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all the assets and liabilities in the group) are to be measured in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards. The sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification except as permitted by Ind AS 105.

2.16Inventories

Stocks of stores and spare parts, loose tools and materials-in-transit are valued at the lower of the net realizable value and cost. The raw materials are also valued at the lower of the net realizable value and weighted average cost to the unit if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold below cost. Loose tools when issued are charged off to revenue.


The stock of anode slime arising from treatment and refining processes are stated at realizable value based on the yearend London Metal Exchange price for gold and silver after making due adjustments of their physical recovery and the treatment and refining charges.




Physical verification of Semi-Finished and In-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods is conducted departmentally in all the units at reasonable intervals during the year by a duly approved committee. Also, physical stock verification of WIP and Finished Goods is undertaken by a duly approved committee at the end of every financial year alongwith an independent agency once in a block of three years. In respect of Stores and Spares, physical verification is carried out by external agencies once in every year covering all the units. Shortage/(Excesses). if any, identified on such physical verification is duly adjusted in the books of accounts in the year of identification rsitio_

F-424

2.17Government Grants

All government grants are recognized as deferred income and it will be taken to Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of time in accordance with the pattern in which the obligations are met.

2.18Impairment of Assets (Other than Financial Assets)

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalue amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.



2.19Foreign Exchange Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the Group's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.



In case of long term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2016,liability in foreign currency loans relating to acquisition of fixed assets is converted using the closing rate as defined in Ind AS 21-The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates andthe difference in exchange is recognized in terms of exemptions given in paragraph D13AA of Appendix D to Ind AS-101, where the effect of exchange differences on foreign currency loans of the Group is accounted for by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to the depreciable capital assets and shall be depreciated over the balance life of the assets.

Other long term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in 'Equity Component of Foreign Currency asset/liability Account' and amortized over the balance period of the asset/liability by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods as stated under Para 29A of Ind As 21.

NiOs—

F-425

2.20Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.




Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in Notes to the Accounts. Such assets occur when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. Such contingent assets are assessed continuously, if it's virtually certain that inflow of economic benefits will arise then such assets and the relative income will be recognised in the financial statements.

2.21 Leasing

Assets held under lease, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to lessee are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.


Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss if they are not directly attributable to qualifying assets, otherwise they are capitalised in accordance with the Group's general policy on borrowing costs.





Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss. 30_

F-426

(ii) Subsequent Recognition 6 ?5

a. Financial assets Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss.

b. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method except for derivatives, which are measured at fair value.


All derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss for the period.


At each reporting date, assessment is made whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly or not since initial recognition.



2.23Events Occurring after the Reporting Period

The Group adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

2.24Dividends

1. Derivatives not designated as hedging Instruments The Group uses Commodity Futures Contracts to manage its commodity price risk . The Commodity Futures Contracts are not designated as hedging instrumnets and are entered into for periods consistent with commodity price risk exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months. However during the nine month ended 31st December 2020, the Group has not entered into any Commodity Futures Contract.

The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to four months.


The Group purchases copper blister( anode on an ongoing basis for Its operating activities In its Gujarat Copper Project (GCP) plant for the production of cathode. To hedge itself against the volatility in LME copper prices in the international market has led to the decision to enter into commodity future contracts. Howeverduring the nine month ended 31st Decanter 2020, the Group has not purchased any such copper blister/ anode for its plant in GCP.

These contacts, which commenced in August 2016, are expected to reduce the volatlity attributable to price fluctuations of copper. Hedging the price volatility of copper purchases is in accordance with the Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The hedging relationships are for a period between 1 and 4 months based on existing purchase agreements. The Group designated only the spot-to-spat movement of the entire commodity purchase price as the hedged risk. It has been decided by the Group not to follow the hedge accounting for these instruments.

Mat 31st December 2020, the fair value of the open position of commodity future contracts is nil.

2.

3. The Management considered the Service fees of Rs 15 lakh paid on the Exim Bank Term loan amounting to Rs. 30300 lath drawn on 29.05.2018 as immaterial, as the amount of service fee was only 0.012% of the Turnover for 9 months ended 31.12.2020 of the Group and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at Initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further, the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of Exim Bank loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

Similarly, the Management considered the total of Upfront fees & Other charges of Rs 245.33 lath paid on the SW ECB loan amounting to Rs. 17734.75 lath drawn during July 2018 to January 2019 as immaterial, as the amount of such fees/charges was only 0.196% of the Tumover for 9 months ended 31.12.2020 of the Group and hence the same was not considered as a transaction cost in terms of fair valuation at initial recognition under INDAS 109. Further. the Management assessed that for the purpose of IND AS 109, the carrying value of loan is considered as its fair value as no loan could be provided at a rate lower that the rate of interest of SBI ECB loan for similar terms and conditions of the loan at that point of time.

The Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, batik overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is Included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between vrilling parties, other than in a forced or

liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

28. Copper ore tailing (COT) beneficiation plant was set up at MCP unit for extraction of valuable minerals and metals from copper ore tails with a capacity of 10000 tonnes per day (TPD) at an estimated cost of 20000 lakh. The intermittent trial run failed on number of occasions (chockage/ spillage, stoppages, cleaning etc) and the quality and quantity of products achieved at various stages are not as per the parameters envisaged in contract agreement. A preliminary notice was issued to the party to complete the project and commission the same. The party agreed to commission the plant, but the progress of the work at site was stopped due to lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic. The Group has extended the timeline upto 31.08.2020 for supply, erection of the thickener and commission of the plant. But the party failed to execute the contract and the contract got terminated with efflux of time.

29. Consequent upon the Judgment of Common Cause dated 02.08.2017, which is applicable only to the mining leases of iron and manganese ore, passed by the Apex court in the case of Common Cause Vs U01 and others, a demand of 4353.78 lakh was raised by the District Mining Officer of Jamshedpur for running the Surda mine without valid environment clearance (EC) although Surda mine has a valid mining lease, forest clearance and it has adhered to the terms of approved mining plan and it was working on valid Consent to Operate. Based on the Revision Application filed by the Group, the Revisional Authority of the Ministry of Mines, after hearing at length both parties had issued specific direction against the District Mining Officer (DMO) not to take any coercive measures in terms of recovery of the said demand. On revision of demand from 4353.78 lakh to 12690.49 lakh by the office of the District Mining Officer and subsequently revised to 92940.06 lakh by the State Government, the Group again appealed before the Revisional Authority and hearing was held on 14.11.2019 and interim stay is granted by the Revisional Authority till the next date of hearing. Since at present mining leases of copper ore are not included under Common Cause Judgement, the Management, based on the legal opinion, is of the view that the same has not to be shown as Contingent Liability as on 31.12.2020.

30. The cost of production per unit has gone up owing to low volume of production during the nine months ended 31.12.2020 due to measures taken by the Government of India to contain COVID-19 pandemic situation prevalent in the country. Post unlocking of the lockdown, the Group's operations are gradually stabilizing. The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these financial results including recoverability of carrying amounts of financial and non-financial assets. The will continue to closely monitor any material changes arising out of future economic conditions and the resultant impact on its business.

31. The Group has not changed any accounting policies during preparation of Condensed Interim Unaudited Financial Statements for Nine months ended 31st December 2020 w.r.t to accounting policies of previous financial year. This Condensed Interim Unaudited Financial Statements has been prepared by the Group for internal use with regards to the proposed Qualified Institutional Placement of equity share of the Group. Accordingly ,this financial statement should not be used ,referred to or distributed for any other purpose.

32. The previous year's figures are not comparable with the current period figures since the current period consists of 9 months. The previous year's figures have been regrouped / rearranged, wherever necessary.
