T
GLOBAL
WINNING
PALATES
TCs Foods business exports
its products to the key
geographies of North America,
Africa, Middle East and
Australia. Despite a continued
slowdown in international
markets, ITC Foods exports
continue to grow robustly year
after year.
This has been achieved by
taking the more arduous route
of building a high-class Indian
brand amongst mainstream
American and Canadian
consumers and also selling
market leaders like Aashirvaad
amongst the Indian diaspora.
Signicant investments have
been made in brand building in
these markets as opposed to
selling on the platform of price
discounts.
Kitchens of India currently
ranks No.2 in the USA and No.1
in Canada amongst all brands
in the ambient Indian Ready-
to-Eat segment in traditional
supermarkets. Targeted at the
mainstream population and
positioned at the premium end
of the market, Kitchens of India
is sold through leading chains
like Kroger, Safeway, Walmart,
Whole Foods and Loblaws,
among others. Kitchens of
India has also been listed in the
popular COSTCO wholesale
club towards the end of 2011.
Moreover, Kitchens of India has
emerged as the leading Indian
Food brand in the USA on
Amazon.com!
Aashirvaad atta is exported
to USA and Australia and
has emerged as a leading
Atta brand in these countries,
replicating its domestic
performance overseas. Exports
of Aashirvaad Whole Wheat
atta have grown by 87% this
year.
The year 2011 also saw the
launch of Sunfeast biscuits in
the Middle East and Africa. The
brand has made a promising
start and is expected to witness
a stronger presence in the near
future.
Both the existing product
portfolios in ITCs key markets
of USA, Canada and Australia
and those recently introduced
in the new markets of the
Middle East and Africa are
positioned for sustained growth
in the future.

Report on
Corporate Governance
The Directors present the Companys Report on
Corporate Governance.
ITC Limited has been one of the frontrunners in India to
have put in place a formalised system of Corporate
Governance. Its governance framework enjoins the
highest standards of ethical and responsible conduct of
business to create value for all stakeholders.
THE COMPANYS GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY
ITC defines Corporate Governance as a systemic process
by which companies are directed and controlled to
enhance their wealth-generating capacity. Since large
corporations employ a vast quantum of societal resources,
ITC believes that the governance process should ensure
that these resources are utilised in a manner that meets
stakeholders aspirations and societal expectations. This
belief is reflected in the Companys deep commitment
to contribute to the triple bottom line, namely the
conservation and development of the nations economic,
social and environmental capital.
ITCs Corporate Governance structure, systems and
processes are based on two core principles:
(i) Management must have the executive freedom to
drive the enterprise forward without undue restraints,
and
(ii) This freedom of management should be exercised
within a framework of effective accountability.
ITC believes that any meaningful policy on Corporate
Governance must empower the executive management
of the Company. At the same time, Governance must
create a mechanism of checks and balances to ensure
that the decision-making powers vested in the executive
management are used with care and responsibility to
meet stakeholders aspirations and societal expectations.
From this definition and core principles of Corporate
Governance emerge the cornerstones of ITCs
governance philosophy, namely trusteeship,
transparency, empowerment & accountability, control
and ethical corporate citizenship. ITC believes that the
practice of each of these creates the right corporate
culture that fulfils the true purpose of Corporate
Governance.
Trusteeship recognises that large corporations, which
represent a coalition of interests, namely those of the
shareholders, other providers of capital, business
associates and employees, have both an economic and
a social purpose, thereby casting the responsibility on
the Board of Directors to protect and enhance shareholder
value, as well as fulfil obligations to other stakeholders.
Inherent in the concept of trusteeship is the responsibility
to ensure equity, namely, that the rights of all shareholders,
large or small, are protected.
Transparency means explaining the Companys policies
and actions to those to whom it has responsibilities.
Externally, this means maximum appropriate disclosures
without jeopardising the Companys strategic interests
and internally, this means openness in the Companys
relationship with its employees and in the conduct of its
business. ITC believes transparency enhances
accountability.
Empowerment is a process of unleashing creativity and
innovation throughout the organisation by truly vesting
decision-making powers at the most appropriate levels
and as close to the scene of action as feasible, thereby
helping actualise the potential of its employees.
Empowerment is an essential concomitant of ITCs first
core principle of governance that management must
have the freedom to drive the enterprise forward. ITC
believes that empowerment combined with accountability
provides an impetus to performance and improves
effectiveness, thereby enhancing shareholder value.
Control ensures that freedom of management is
exercised within a framework of checks and balances
and is designed to prevent misuse of power, facilitate
timely management of change and ensure effective
management of risks. ITC believes that control is a
necessary concomitant of its second core principle of
governance that the freedom of management should be
exercised within a framework of appropriate checks and
balances.
Ethical Corporate Citizenship means setting exemplary
standards of ethical behaviour, both internally within the
The cornerstones of ITC's governance philosophy are
trusteeship, transparency, empowerment & accountability,
control and ethical corporate citizenship.
organisation, as well as in external relationships. ITC
believes that unethical behaviour corrupts organisational
culture and undermines stakeholder value. Governance
processes in ITC continuously reinforce and help realise
the Companys belief in ethical corporate citizenship.
THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
The practice of Corporate Governance in ITC is at three
interlinked levels:
Strategic supervision by the Board of Directors
Strategic management by the Corporate
Management Committee
Executive management by the Divisional / Strategic
Business Unit (SBU) Chief
Executive assisted by the
respective Divisional / SBU
Management Committee
The three-tier governance structure ensures that:
(a) Strategic supervision (on behalf of the shareholders),
being free from involvement in the task of strategic
management of the Company, can be conducted by
the Board with objectivity, thereby sharpening
accountability of management;
(b) Strategic management of the Company, uncluttered
by the day-to-day tasks of executive management,
remains focused and energised; and
(c) Executive management of a Division or Business,
free from collective strategic responsibilities for ITC
as a whole, focuses on enhancing the quality,
efficiency and effectiveness of the business.
The core roles of the key entities flow from this
structure. The core roles, in turn, determine the core
responsibilities of each entity. In order to discharge such
responsibilities, each entity is empowered formally with
requisite powers.
The structure, processes and practices of governance
are designed to support effective management of multiple
businesses while retaining focus on each one of them.
The Governance Document that sets out the structure,
policies and practices of governance within the
organisation is available on the Companys corporate
website www.itcportal.com for general information.

Report of the Directors
&
Management Discussion and Analysis
For the Financial Year Ended 31st March, 2012
Your Directors submit their Report for the financial year
ended 31st March, 2012.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
After staging a smart recovery in 2010, growth in global
economic output slowed down considerably in 2011.
Against a growth rate of 5.3% recorded in 2010 and a
forecast of 4.4% at the beginning of the year, global
output is estimated to have grown by only 3.9% in 2011,
according to the International Monetary Funds April
2012 report. Growth in Advanced Economies slowed
down to 1.6% in 2011 against 3.2% in 2010 primarily
due to the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone,
contraction of the Japanese economy and a sluggish
recovery in the US. Growth in Emerging & Developing
economies also decelerated from 7.5% in 2010 to 6.2%
in 2011 with China, India and Brazil recording significant
decline in growth rates. Capital flows into Emerging and
Developing economies declined and remained volatile
due to lower risk appetite caused by the financial
uncertainty in the developed world which also led to
sharp fluctuations in the exchange rates in many of
these economies.
The world economy is passing through a very difficult
phase and is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2012. Despite
a better than expected recovery shaping in the US, the
key reasons for the subdued growth forecast of 1.4% in
the Advanced Economies remain the sovereign debt
crisis in the euro zone, focus on fiscal consolidation and
continued bank deleveraging. Growth in the developing
world is forecast to slow down further to 5.7% with the
key economies of China, India, Brazil and Russia - all
expected to record lower rates of growth.
As stated above, the Indian economy decelerated
considerably during the year, growing below 7% in
2011/12 as compared to 8.4% in 2010/11. The cumulative
impact of a tight monetary policy stance adopted by the
Reserve Bank in a bid to balance the growth-inflation
dynamic, lower global demand and hardening
international prices of crude oil combined to lower the
growth rate to below 6% during the second half of the
year. There was a marked slowdown in the mining and
quarrying, manufacturing and construction sectors. The
poor performance of the Industrial sector which grew
below 4% - a 10 year low - reflected a number of factors
including a higher interest rate regime, slackening external
demand and a general decline in business confidence.
Of particular concern is the sharp fall in the Gross Fixed
Capital Formation which dropped below 30% of GDP
during the year, representing a decline of nearly
4 percentage points over the last 4 years. The position
on the twin deficits also worsened with the fiscal deficit
touching 5.9% of GDP and the current account deficit
estimated at around 4% of GDP. With a burgeoning
current account deficit on the one hand and only a small
increase in net capital inflows on the other, the overall
Balance of Payments situation turned negative - the first
time in 16 years excluding 2008/09! This, amongst other
factors, led to a sharp depreciation of the Indian Rupee
which fell to record lows. There was some good news
on the inflation front which, after staying close to 10%
for an extended period of 22 months, moderated to
around 7% in recent months.
As per the RBIs Monetary Policy Statement 2012/13
released in April 2012, the Indian economy is projected
to grow by 7.3% in 2012/13 assuming normal monsoons.
Significant downside risks to this baseline forecast include
the outlook for global commodity prices - especially of
crude oil, slippages on the fiscal front which could stoke
inflation and lead to a crowding out of private investment
and the unsustainable current account deficit levels.
The inflation scenario remains challenging with oil prices
ruling high, incomplete pass-through of past price
increases, suppressed inflation in respect of coal and
electricity and persisting structural issues especially on
the supply side. This leaves little flexibility in the near
term on the interest rates front after RBIs 50 basis points
repo rate cut in April 2012.
The Indian economy is projected to grow by 7.3% in 2012/13 assuming
normal monsoons. Significant downside risks to this baseline forecast
include the outlook for global commodity prices - especially of crude oil,
slippages on the fiscal front which could stoke inflation and lead to a crowding
out of private investment and the unsustainable current account deficit levels.
While a growth rate of around 7% per annum would
sustain Indias position as one of the fastest growing
major economies in the world, it is far below the desired
levels and the countrys potential. Given the low levels
of per capita income and the fact that a significant
proportion of our population lives in poverty, it is imperative
that the economy reverts to its 8% to 9% growth trajectory.
Fortunately, India enjoys the unique advantage of having
multiple forces driving its economic growth engine in the
form of a favourable demographic profile of population,
relatively high savings and investment rates, a large
domestic consumption base and the oft-quoted
entrepreneurial spirit of its people. Raising the growth
bar to the desired double-digit levels would however
require, inter-alia, directing government spending to
more productive areas by reducing the various forms of
subsidies in a phased manner, investments towards
augmentation of physical and social infrastructure, skill
development and job creation.
With India accounting for one-sixth of the worlds
population but only 2.4% of the global land mass, 4%
of worlds freshwater resources and 1% of global forest
resources, the pressure of economic growth on the
countrys natural capital will be enormous. The focus,
both at a national and corporate level, must therefore
be on fashioning strategies that foster sustainable,
equitable and inclusive growth. It is your Companys
belief that businesses can bring about transformational
change by pursuing innovative business models that
synergise the creation of sustainable livelihoods and the
preservation of natural capital with enhancing shareholder
value. This Triple Bottom Line approach to creating
larger stakeholder value, as opposed to merely ensuring
uni-dimensional shareholder value, is the driving force
that defines ITCs sustainability vision and its growth
path into the future.
Your Companys exemplary initiatives in the area of
sustainable development have won global recognition
and have combined to make it the only enterprise in the
world of comparable dimensions to have achieved and
sustained the three key global indices of environmental
sustainability of being water positive (for 10 years),
carbon positive (for 7 years), and solid waste recycling
positive (for 5 years).
The following sections outline your Companys progress
in pursuit of the Triple Bottom Line objectives.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Your Company posted yet another year of impressive
results with strong topline growth and high quality
earnings, reflecting the robustness of its corporate
strategy of creating multiple drivers of growth. This
performance is particularly remarkable when viewed
against the backdrop of the extremely challenging
business context in which it was achieved, namely, a
slowdown in the economy, high levels of inflation and
the continuing cascading impact of arbitrary increases
in VAT on cigarettes.
Gross Revenue for the year grew by 14.2% to ` 34871.86
crores. Net Revenue at ` 24798.43 crores grew by 17.2%
primarily driven by a 23.6% growth in the non-cigarette
FMCG businesses, 20.0% growth in Agri business and
16.6% growth in the Cigarettes segment. Profit before
tax increased by 22.4% to ` 8897.53 crores while Net
Profits at ` 6162.37 crores registered a growth of 23.6%.
Earnings Per Share for the year stands at ` 7.93 (previous
year ` 6.49). Cash flows from Operations aggregated
` 8334 crores compared to ` 7528 crores in the
previous year.
Continuing with your Companys chosen strategy of
creating multiple drivers of growth, your Company is
today, the leading FMCG marketer in India, the second
largest Hotel chain, the clear market leader in the Indian
Paperboard and Packaging industry and the countrys
foremost Agri business player. Your Companys wholly
owned subsidiary, ITC Infotech India Limited, is one of
Indias fast growing Information Technology companies
in the mid-tier segment. Additionally, over the last sixteen
years, your Companys Gross Revenues and Net Profits
recorded an impressive compounded growth of 12.7%
and 21.8% per annum respectively. During this period,
Return on Capital Employed improved substantially from
28.4% to 45.4% while Total Shareholder Returns,
measured in terms of increase in market capitalisation
and dividends, grew at a compounded annual growth
rate of 25.7% during this period, placing your Company

amongst the foremost in the country in terms of efficiency
of servicing financial capital. Your Company today is
one of Indias most admired and valuable corporations
with a market capitalisation of nearly ` 180000 crores
and has consistently featured, over the last sixteen
years, amongst the top 10 private sector companies in
terms of market capitalisation and profits.
Your Directors are pleased to recommend a Dividend
of ` 4.50 per share (previous year - ` 4.45 per share
including a Special Dividend ` 1.65 per share) for the
year ended 31st March, 2012. Total cash outflow in this
regard will be ` 4089.04 crores (previous year ` 4002.09
crores) including Dividend Distribution Tax of ` 570.75
crores (previous year ` 558.62 crores) representing an
increase in the payout over last year that included
` 1484 crores as Special Dividend, including Dividend
Distribution Tax, declared to commemorate your
Companys 100th AGM.
Your Board further recommends a transfer to General
Reserve of ` 650.00 crores (previous year ` 498.76 crores).
Consequently, your Board recommends leaving a surplus
in Statement of Profit and Loss of ` 1972.59 crores
(previous year ` 548.67 crores).
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS
Your Company continues to view foreign exchange
earnings as a priority. All businesses in the ITC portfolio
are mandated to engage with overseas markets with a
view to testing and demonstrating international
competitiveness and seeking profitable opportunities for
growth. The ITC groups contribution to foreign exchange
earnings over the last ten years amounted to nearly
US$ 4.9 billion, of which agri exports constituted 56%.
Earnings from agri exports are an indicator of your
Companys contribution to the rural economy through
effectively linking small farmers with international markets.
During the financial year 2011/12, your Company and
its subsidiaries earned ` 3072 crores in foreign exchange.
The direct foreign exchange earned by your Company
amounted to ` 2621 crores, mainly on account of exports
of agri-commodities. Your Companys expenditure in
foreign currency amounted to ` 1859 crores, comprising
purchase of raw materials, spares and other expenses
of ` 1153 crores and import of capital goods at
` 706 crores. Details of foreign exchange earnings and
outgo are provided in Note 28 to the Financial Statements.

FMCG Cigarettes
The cigarette industry in India continues to be impacted
by a discriminatory taxation and regulatory policy
framework. The steep increase in the tax rates on
cigarettes, both at the Central and at the State level,
has led to the undesirable consequence of shifting
consumption to lightly taxed or tax evaded tobacco
products like Bidi, Khaini, Chewing Tobacco and Gutkha
which are the most dominant forms of tobacco

accounts for 89% of global tobacco consumption in
smokeless form. Cigarette consumption in India, on the
other hand, constitutes only 1.9% of global consumption.
This pattern of tobacco consumption is contrary to global
trends, including that of our neighbouring countries,
where cigarettes are the dominant form of tobacco
consumption.
The domestic legal cigarette industry is faced with the
growing menace of illegal cigarettes. Independent
research indicates that, in India, whilst there is a fall in
volumes of duty paid cigarettes by 4.4% during the
period 2005 to 2010, the duty-not-paid volumes grew
by 49.3% during the same period. India has now been
recognised as one of the leading destinations for illegal
cigarettes.
Attractive tax arbitrage opportunities, as a result of high
level of taxes on the legal domestic cigarette industry in
India, incentivises illegal flow of cigarettes into the
country, especially of internationally advertised and
known brands.
Another dangerous outcome of the increasing volume
of illicit trade is that it encourages the entry of organised
criminal syndicates, which can have serious law and
order consequences for the country. Internationally, it
has been reported that illegal profits from cigarette
smuggling have been used to fund terrorist activities.
Coupled with our porous borders, cigarette imports under
Open General License (OGL) make it extremely difficult
to monitor and regulate the inflow of illegal stocks.
Further, with the domestic cigarette industry being strictly
regulated, including compulsory licensing under the
Industrial (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951, a liberal
import policy is contrary to the Governments tobacco
control policies. This is also detrimental to the interests
of Indian tobacco farmers, as it directly impacts the
demand for indigenous tobacco by the domestic industry.
The demographic construct of Indias population calls
for multiple price points to meet the needs of the countrys
diverse consumer segments. The growth of illegal
cigarettes is also aided by the vacuum created at lower
price points, where legal industry has been unable to
operate, due to a disproportionately high tax burden.
Further, the lacunae in the provisions of the Industrial
(Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 encourages
total usage. The twin objectives of revenue maximisation
and tobacco control have been severely compromised
by this lopsided tax policy on cigarettes which now
contributes over 74% of tax revenue, whilst accounting
for less than 15% of tobacco consumption. Further,
the tax arbitrage opportunities have fuelled the rampant
growth of illegal cigarettes.
The steep hike in Excise Duty rates announced in the
Union Budget 2012 will further exacerbate the problem
of discriminatory and high taxation on cigarettes within
the tobacco industry.
The year under review also witnessed arbitrary and
steep hikes in VAT rates on cigarettes by many States.
This is a complete departure from the principles of
uniform VAT rates enunciated by the Empowered
Committee in its White Paper on State level Value Added
Tax. Further, several States continued to levy
discriminatory and higher rates of VAT on cigarettes
compared to other tobacco products, thereby widening
the tax gap amongst tobacco products. A plethora of 29
different tax rates are currently applicable on cigarettes
across States in India which has forced manufacturers
to adopt State specific pricing. Not only will this result
in unproductive costs in managing supply chain
complexities but also lead to potential disputes in the
assessment of ad-valorem taxes. The imposition of
non-uniform VAT rates by States also goes against the
tenets of the draft National Competition Policy, which
recommends a single national market in line with the
principle that fragmented markets impede competition.
In addition, the resultant attractive tax arbitrage
opportunity promotes illegal inter-State diversion of
stocks by unscrupulous elements thus depriving the
Government of revenue and diverting trade away from
legitimate distribution channels.
The findings reported in the Global Adult Tobacco Survey
(GATS) India, 2009-10 study, conducted under the aegis
of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, shows that
whilst the consumer base of tobacco in India stands at
34.6% of all adults, the cigarette share is only 5.7%.
About 75% of Indian tobacco consumers consume non-
smoking tobacco products mainly in the form of oral
chewing products which constitutes the single largest
consumer base for tobacco products in India. It may be
noted that India, with 17% of the world population,

fly by night operators to manufacture illegal cigarettes
without obtaining requisite licenses and clandestinely
clear them without payment of taxes.
The industry had recommended that the Excise Duty
rate at the entry level segment be reduced to ` 200 per
thousand cigarettes to enable the domestic legal industry
to effectively counter illegal cigarettes with competitively
priced products. Whilst, the length prescribed for the
filter cigarette segment at the lowest end has been
revised from length 60mm to length 65mm, the
Excise Duty on the segment has been retained at ` 689
per thousand cigarettes. Coupled with alarmingly high
State VAT and local taxes, the legitimate, duty paid, industry
will still be unable to match the prices of product offers
of the illegal industry, at the current Excise Duty level.
The implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST)
with a unitary standard rate of tax across the Indian
common market will be an important milestone in the
near future. As stated earlier, cigarettes, by virtue of
being very highly taxed, offers a lucrative tax arbitrage
opportunity and is vulnerable to large scale smuggling.
Consequently, it is imperative that GST on cigarettes is
levied in an appropriate manner i.e. at the uniform
standard rate applicable to the general category of goods
across the country, with availability of input tax credit.
Central Excise Duty should continue to be levied only
at specific rates. It is critical to note that any increase
in the overall tax rate on cigarettes, will widen the
arbitrage opportunity between legitimate cigarettes and
illegal, tax evaded cigarettes. It is, therefore, critical that
the combined incidence of Excise Duty and GST on
cigarettes remains revenue neutral (i.e., kept at
current levels).
Your Company, along with other stakeholders and
industry bodies continues to represent to the regulatory
authorities seeking a non-discriminatory tax and
regulatory policy on tobacco products in the interest of
the Government exchequer, domestic farmer community
and industry.
Despite a difficult operating environment in the market
place, it is gratifying to report that your Company further
improved its market standing during the year. Your
Companys uncompromising commitment to continuous
and consistent offerings of value-added, world class
products has been reinforced through innovations in
product development and launch of differentiated offers.
The portfolio continues to be strengthened through
strategic investments in product quality and technology.
A premium line of hand-rolled cigars launched by your
Company in 2010 under the brand name Armenteros
has gained significant consumer franchise, competing
against world renowned Cuban and other cigar brands.
The Armenteros range of cigars is now available in
premium outlets across key cigar markets and is expected
to further consolidate and grow its franchise.
During the year, a state-of-the-art, flexible, Primary Plant
designed to cater to future product development
requirements was successfully commissioned at
Ranjangaon, Pune. The uncompromising focus on quality,
investments in best-in-class technology and embedding
of best practices has ensured the continued delivery of
products of international quality. Structured problem
solving methodologies like Six Sigma and several
initiatives that foster innovation have been deployed to
ensure sustained improvements in quality and productivity
of all resources.
In line with your Companys commitment to building
sustainable environmental capital, the business continues
to invest in renewable sources of energy. A 6.3 megawatts
(MW) wind energy facility has been commissioned in
Maharashtra during the year. Solar panels have been
installed for boiler feed water and furnace oil preheating
systems at Bengaluru and Munger factories respectively.
All units also maintained the highest standards of
Environment Health and Safety (EHS) and won
recognition by way of numerous awards. Saharanpur
and Bengaluru factories were the first in India to obtain
Platinum Green Factory Building Rating from the Indian
Green Building Council as part of a holistic approach
towards sustainability. Munger, Bengaluru, Saharanpur
and Kidderpore factories have won the RoSPA Gold

Your Companys Cigarettes business faces the daunting
challenges of an unprecedented high incidence of
taxation, complex tax structure, rising illegal trade and
a discriminatory regulatory climate. Despite these
challenges, the relentless pursuit of excellence in building
robust, world class brands, innovation in processes and
investment in world class technologies will enable your
Company to further consolidate its market standing.
Your Company believes that both the objectives of
maximisation of the economic potential of tobacco and
the tobacco control can be achieved through
rationalisation of taxes on cigarettes, minimisation of
discriminatory taxes between different classes of tobacco
products and a regulatory framework that addresses the
genuine concerns of all the stakeholders of the tobacco
industry. The need is for a balanced agenda on tobacco,
both fiscal and regulatory.
FMCG - Others
The Indian FMCG industry is estimated to be over
` 160000 crores in size and accounts for nearly 2.2% of
the GDP of the country. The industry has tripled in size
over the last 10 years and has grown at approximately
17% CAGR in the last 5 years, driven by robust economic
growth, rising income levels, increasing urbanisation
and favourable demographic trends. These growth drivers
are expected to continue to favourably impact the industry
which is estimated to reach ` 400000 crores by 2020
(Source: CII, FMCG Roadmap to 2020). According to a
recent study by the consultancy firm Boston Consultancy
Group, the Indian consumer market is poised to grow
at a compounded annual growth rate of 15% between
2010 and 2020, faster than most other emerging markets.
Given these positive fundamentals, your Company
has been rapidly scaling up its new FMCG businesses
comprising Branded Packaged Foods, Personal Care
Products, Education and Stationery Products, Lifestyle
Retailing, Incense Sticks (Agarbattis) and Safety Matches
with Segment Revenues growing at an impressive
compound annual growth rate of nearly 40% since
2005-06.
Within a relatively short span of time, your Company
has established several strong consumer brands
in the Indian FMCG market. Segment Results reflect
the gestation costs of these businesses largely comprising
costs associated with brand building, product
development, R&D and infrastructure creation. The year
under review saw a 24% growth in Segment Revenues
and a significant improvement in Segment Results

packaging material and industrial fuel to remain at
inflated levels. These cost pressures were mitigated
through a combination of improvements in product
and process efficiencies, smart sourcing and supply
chain initiatives.

to grow rapidly aided by an increasing proportion of
consumers shifting to these value-added propositions.
The Biscuits industry witnessed impressive growth during
the year and your Companys Sunfeast brand continued
to do well across product platforms. Portfolio enrichment
was driven through the launch of Sunfeast Dark Fantasy
Choco Fills and Sunfeast Dual Dream Cream. These
two innovative, first to market flavours created excitement
amongst consumers and significantly enhanced the
consumer franchise of the Sunfeast brand.
In the Confectionery category, Candyman and mint-o

on branded apparel in the Union Budget 2011 and rising
input costs. The businesss focus on strategic cost
management actions and improvements in operational
efficiencies helped to partly offset the adverse impact
of tax and cost increases.
In the Premium segment, Wills Lifestyle with its superior
product variety and richer product mix continued to enjoy
strong consumer franchise. The retail footprint of the
brand was expanded to 86 exclusive stores across 40
cities and more than 300 shop-in-shops in leading

world class fibre line at Bhadrachalam which is Indias
first ozone treated elemental chlorine free facility. Every
Classmate notebook also carries a powerful social
message that reflects your Companys commitment to
improving the quality of primary education in rural India.
During the year, the business took significant steps to
strengthen Paperkraft, its executive and office supplies
stationery brand. Working in tandem with the Paperboards
& Specialty Paper business, your Company has
positioned Paperkraft as the finest green paper for
business applications viz. copy-scan-print-fax.
Paperkrafts green credentials are supported, among
other factors, by your Companys membership of the
prestigious Global Forest & Trade Network.
The education and stationery products industry continues
to grow on the back of massive government and private
investments in the education sector. The governments
flagship Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan programme coupled
with the mid-day meals initiative is successfully enhancing
enrolment and reducing dropouts at the primary school
level. Likewise, it is expected that enrolment ratios at
the secondary and tertiary levels will also improve.
Progressive reforms will enable flow of private sector
investments into capacity building and quality
enhancement in education delivery. Further, the Right
of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act,
2009, will further accelerate growth in the education and
stationery supplies sectors. Your Companys strong
brands Classmate and Paperkraft with increasing
consumer franchise, widening high quality product range
and excellent distribution infrastructure is advantageously
positioned to respond to this opportunity.
Lifestyle Retailing
During the year, your Companys Lifestyle Retailing
business posted strong growth in revenues and continued
to strengthen its position in the branded apparel market.

including the Superbrand certification, and is the first Indian brand
to receive the prestigious Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification.
Improving retail and manufacturing productivity were
pursued vigorously with continued focus on strengthening
capability through training, knowledge and skill inputs.
The business will continue to increase the premium
quotient of its offerings on the basis of deeper
understanding of consumer preferences, and delivering
products benchmarked to world class quality standards.
Further investments are planned to enhance range
vitality, supply chain responsiveness and superior
customer service to delight the customer with an
international shopping experience.
Incense sticks (Agarbattis)
Your Companys Agarbatti business recorded an
impressive growth in revenues and enhanced market
standing during the year, driven by increasing consumer
franchise for the Mangaldeep brand combined with
deeper distribution reach and innovative consumer
offerings. Mangaldeep is the second largest national
brand in the industry.
During the year, the business launched several new
variants under the umbrella brand Mangaldeep. These
variants have received wide consumer acceptance and
are being rolled out across India.

commitment to the Triple Bottom Line by providing
livelihood opportunities to more than 12,000 people
through small and medium scale entrepreneurs and
NGOs / Self Help Groups across India. Business initiatives

communities continue to enhance product quality and
increase the earning potential of agarbatti rollers. These
initiatives, along with the continuing association with
various State Governments for setting up sourcing
centres, are creating sustainable livelihood opportunities
for rural women through agarbatti rolling.
Safety Matches
Your Companys Safety Matches business maintained
its market leadership aided by continued consumer
preference for its strong brand portfolio across all
market segments.
With sustained escalation in the prices of raw materials
like wood, paperboard and key chemicals, industry
margins remained under severe pressure during the
year. Your Company mitigated the adverse impact of
these input costs through a series of strategic cost
management actions. Your Company continues to focus
on enhancing market standing through the launch of
high quality and value-added products.
Your Company continues to partner the small scale
sector by sourcing a significant portion of its requirement
from multiple units in this sector. Your Company is
helping to improve the competitive ability of these units
by providing technical inputs to strengthen their systems
and processes.
Technology induction in manufacturing is crucial for the
long term sustainability of this industry. A uniform taxation
framework which provides a level playing field to all
manufacturers is necessary to enable the required
investments for modernising this industry. This would
not only help the industry in improving its competitiveness
but also provide a safer working environment for the
large number of people employed in this industry.
B. HOTELS
The hospitality industry in India continued to be impacted
by the slowdown in the domestic economy and adverse
economic environment in the international feeder markets
of the US and Europe. While the US market appears to
be on the path of slow recovery, the European market
is yet to come out of its debt problems and recession.
As a result, both international and domestic business
segments for the luxury hotels remained muted.
In the backdrop of these challenging circumstances,
your Companys Hotels business registered a marginal
growth in revenues and profits, while maintaining its
leadership position in terms of operating margins.
Your Companys Hotels business continues to be rated
amongst the fastest growing hospitality chains with
94 properties at 67 locations in India operating under
4 brands ITC Hotel at the luxury end, WelcomHotel

during the year and further expansion is on the anvil.
During the year, your Companys premier hotel at Jaipur
has been upgraded to an ITC Hotel with The Luxury
Collection co-branding. The hotel is now known as
ITC Rajputana in line with other luxury properties of
the chain.
Food and Beverage (F&B) remains a major strength
of your Company and its iconic brands Bukhara,
Dum Pukht and Dakshin continue to garner coveted
international awards and accolades. The renovated Dum
Pukht Restaurants at ITC Maurya and ITC Maratha have
been highly appreciated by its patrons and generated
healthy business during the year. Other signature
F&B brands viz. West View, Kebabs & Kurries and
Pan Asian have firmly established themselves and
continue to sustain leadership position in their respective
cities. The businesss first Japanese cuisine brand
Edo has established itself as the benchmark for
traditional Japanese cuisine in Bengaluru and is fast
gaining recognition.
In pursuit of your Companys Triple Bottom Line
commitment, investments have been made in renewable
energy to provide clean power to your Companys hotels
in Bengaluru (ITC Windsor and ITC Gardenia), Mumbai
(ITC Maratha) and Jaipur (ITC Rajputana). During the
year, further investments in wind energy were made in
Tamil Nadu to cater to the needs of the newly built
ITC Grand Chola at Chennai. With these investments,
your Companys Hotels business will meet nearly
two-thirds of its energy requirements from clean and
renewable sources.
Your Company remains committed to its Responsible
Luxury ethos and is the greenest luxury hotel chain in
the world. With ITC Rajputana having obtained the
Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED)
Platinum rating during the year, all premium ITC Hotels
now have this coveted rating.
During the year, your Company launched a unique
pan-ITC consumer loyalty programme Club ITC
targeted at the premium clientele of Wills Lifestyle and
ITC Hotels.
In view of the positive long term outlook for the Indian
Hotel industry, your Company continues to sustain its
investment-led growth strategy. Construction of the new
super luxury property, ITC Grand Chola, at Chennai is
now complete and slated to open in early 2012-13. The
hotel is part of the ITC Hotel brand and has 522 plush
hotel rooms and suites, 78 service apartments, 60,000
sq. ft. of conference and banqueting facilities, 10 Food
and Beverage outlets and the award-winning spa brand
Kaya Kalp. Construction activity of two new luxury
properties at Kolkata and at Classic Golf Resort near
Gurgaon is progressing satisfactorily. In addition, several
new projects, including joint ventures and management
contracts, are on the anvil to rapidly scale up the business
across all brands.
The Fortune brand which caters to the mid market to
upscale segment continued its expansion by forging
new alliances, taking the total number of hotels in its
fold to 67 with an aggregate room inventory of over
5,000. Of these, 27 properties are under various stages
of development. The WelcomHeritage brand continues
to be the countrys most successful and largest chain
of heritage hotels with 40 operating properties, spread
across 13 States in India.
Your Companys Hotels business, with its globally
benchmarked levels of product and service excellence
and customer centricity, represented by its four brands
is well positioned to sustain its leadership status in the
industry and poised to emerge as the largest hotel chain
in the country over the next few years.
Your Companys Hotels business continues to be rated amongst the
fastest growing hospitality chains with 94 properties at 67 locations in India
operating under 4 brands
ITC Hotel, WelcomHotel, Fortune and WelcomHeritage.
C. PAPERBOARDS, PAPER AND PACKAGING
The Paperboards, Paper and Packaging segment
recorded yet another year of steady growth in revenues
and profits. Segment Revenues grew by 13% over the
previous year to touch ` 4130 crores. Segment Results
at ` 937 crores reflect a growth of 14%.
Paperboards & Specialty Papers
The global demand for paper & paperboard slowed down
to 1% in 2011 as against a 6% growth in 2010. Even in
India, demand decelerated to around 6.5% during
2011-12 against 7.1% in the previous year.
The global paper market continued to witness a structural
shift with emerging economies, particularly in Asia such
as China and India, driving the demand growth.
Though India has 17% of the worlds population, it
consumes only about 2% of global paper production.
Per capita consumption in India is very low at only 9 kgs
compared to a global average of 55 kgs, 65 kgs in China
and 215 kgs in Japan.
Shift in demand to Asia and the low levels of per capita
consumption in India offers Indian paper manufacturers
exciting opportunities in the years to come. Though there
is considerable scope for growth in the Indian paper
market, competition, including from key global players,
has also increased and the industry is witnessing large
capital investments. Though growth in demand is
expected to absorb the increased capacity, increasing
and maintaining market share as well as protecting
margins will be challenging.
Further, reduction of import duties under various Regional
Free Trade Agreements especially with ASEAN has
started impacting the profitability of the domestic paper
industry. In line with the representations made by the
Indian Paper Manufacturers Association, it is imperative
that the current duty structures are kept unchanged.
The domestic paper and paperboard industry is currently
estimated at 11.6 million tonnes per annum, out of which
paperboards is 2.2 million tonnes per annum which is
expected to grow at around 8% per annum aided by
value-added paperboard at 12% per annum. The growth
potential of the paperboard industry is anchored on
expectations of higher GDP growth, increase in demand
from rural markets, branded packaged products and
organised retail. Further, the need for differentiated
packaging coupled with change in lifestyles will continue
to drive demand for paperboard. Your Company is the
market leader in the paperboard segment with focus on
the value-added products. To further consolidate its
pre-eminent position in the industry, the business has
invested in a state-of-the-art machine which is expected
to be operational by early 2013.
The Writing and Printing paper segment, estimated at
3.1 million tonnes, grew by 6.2% in the year under
review. This segment produces papers for use in copiers,
desktop printers, advertising and promotional materials,
notebooks, books and annual reports. The growth in the
value-added writing and printing paper segment will
continue to be fuelled by initiatives like Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan and Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Act, 2009 as well as by increasing literacy
levels, changing demographic profiles and GDP growth.
This segment is expected to grow at around 8% per
annum during the next 5 years, with higher growth
expected in the Copier and Fine Paper categories at
16% per annum. The business with its strong forward
linkages with your Companys Education and Stationery
Products business has emerged as a leading player in
the segment.
Specialty papers, with an estimated market size of
4.7 lakh tonnes, is expected to grow at 9.4% per annum
over the next 5 years, with increased spends on
infrastructure and construction driving demand for quality
dcor and insulating grades. Your Company is a market
leader in decor grades and is the largest manufacturer
of cigarette tissue in India.
Given that pulpwood availability is a major challenge for
the paper industry, your Company continues with its
policy of promoting social forestry plantations for
pulpwood. During the year, over 57 million high quality
saplings were sold/distributed to farmers. Research on
clonal development has resulted in the introduction of
high yielding and disease resistant clones which are
adaptable to a wide variety of agro-climatic conditions.
The need for differentiated packaging coupled with change in lifestyles
will continue to drive demand for paperboard.
Your Company is the market leader in the paperboard segment
with focus on the value-added products.
by promoting agro-forestry plantations in 600 hectares
and this is proposed to be substantially increased in the
years to come.
Your Company continues to represent to policy makers
on the need to introduce appropriate amendments to
the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 and related Rules,
to permit industry to use degraded forest land for
afforestation linked to the end-use of such wood.
An enabling policy framework that encourages public-
private partnerships for the development of degraded
forestlands would serve the multiple objectives of
enhancing the competitiveness of the Indian paper and
paperboard industry, reducing import dependence,
creating sustainable livelihoods in rural India and
contributing to the national objective of enhancing the
countrys green cover.
In India only 15% of the paper consumed is recovered
for recycling as against about 70% in the western
countries. Your Companys collaborative initiative called
Wealth out of Waste (WOW) continues to promote and
facilitate waste paper recycling, with a view to conserving
scarce natural resources. The waste paper industry is
largely unorganised and a lot of effort has gone into
establishing processes and systems in the operational
areas of collection, sorting and grading of waste paper
as well as on accounting, compliances and controls. It
is expected that this effort would assist in the availability
of quality fibre on a sustained and long term basis at
competitive prices.
During the year about 26,000 tonnes of waste paper
was collected and with continued focus on building
capability it is expected that the entire waste paper
requirements of the business would be sourced through
this initiative over time. The first anniversary of National
Recycling Day was celebrated in Hyderabad on 1st July
2011 with large participation from school children and
general public. Your Company also launched the Save
100000 Trees initiative during the year.
During the year, your Company achieved the distinction
of being the first paper company in India to obtain the
Forest Stewardship Council - Forest Management
(FSC-FM) certification covering 8,000 hectares of social
forestry plantations involving about 9,000 farmers.
This initiative, besides securing the long term supply of
fibre at competitive costs, also assists in generating farm
incomes through utilisation of marginal wastelands.
Enhanced R&D activity has resulted in the development
of high yielding eucalyptus and subabul clones and your
Companys continued focus on clonal plantations in core
areas is expected to yield significant competitive
advantage in the years to come. Your Companys R&D
team is actively collaborating with several expert agencies
to further leverage bio-technology for enhancing farm
productivity and wood yields.
In the last 15 years, your Companys bio-technology
based research initiatives have resulted in the planting
of about 545 million saplings covering nearly 1,25,000
hectares of plantations, including around 11,000 hectares
planted during the year. These pioneering initiatives
have generated over 56 million person days of
employment opportunities over this period for small
farmers and poor tribals. Your Company plans to
accelerate the plantation activity and is in the process
of setting up a new state-of-the-art clonal saplings
production capacity in Bhadrachalam to facilitate
the same.
Your Company continues to promote agro-forestry in
pulpwood plantations on waste land as well as on land
where mono-cropping is practised. This will generate
additional income to farmers, provide wood security for
the industry and also help in conservation of the
environment. In Andhra Pradesh, mono-cropping is
currently practised in cultivation of cotton, tobacco, maize
and pulses in more than 30 lakh hectares. During the
year under review, your Company facilitated the
introduction of agro-forestry models which incorporate
inter-cropping practices where eucalyptus trees are
grown adjacent to agricultural crops. By integrating tree
growing with crop production, the problems of poor
agricultural production, worsening wood shortages and
environmental degradation can be simultaneously
addressed. Furthermore, inter-cropping
technologies/practices also help to take pressure off the
remaining natural forests and increases the diversity of
vegetation on existing farms. During the year under
review, a small beginning was made by your Company
Your Companys collaborative initiative called Wealth out of Waste (WOW)
continues to promote and facilitate waste paper recycling,
with a view to conserving scarce natural resources.
FSCFM certifies that the plantation activities of an
organisation are economically, socially and
environmentally viable. To the extent of pulp produced
from such certified plantations, your Company will be
able to commit to its customers, FSC certified papers &
paperboards. Environmentally conscious customers are
already beginning to show keenness to source such
green products which in turn will further increase the
competitiveness of the business.
During the year, the Tribeni and Bollaram units also
obtained the FSC Chain of Custody Certification ensuring
that all four paper manufacturing units of your Company
now have this certification.
Your Company has made significant investments in
contemporary technologies including environment-friendly
Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF) and Ozone bleaching
for pulp thereby improving the environmental standards
of its manufacturing operations. Such investments are
expected to provide customers with sophisticated
products, way ahead of legislation, thereby creating new
benchmarks in environmental stewardship. The Industry
would welcome policies that lay down environmental
benchmarks in tune with other industries such as
automotives etc. and suitably reward those who achieve
or exceed such parameters.
Your Company continues to focus on recycling initiatives
including solid waste recycling. While all manufacturing
units have already achieved near 100% solid waste
recycling by its usage for making products like lime, fly
ash bricks, grey boards, egg trays etc., the procurement
and recycling of about 1,10,000 tonnes of waste paper
during the year has further consolidated the businesss
overall positive solid waste recycling footprint.
Your Company continues to work on various Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. Your
Companys unique social forestry project is the first of
its kind in India to be registered with the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
as a CDM project. About 3,100 hectares of social forestry
plantations involving around 3,400 farmers have already
been covered and the net benefits from this project will
be passed on to the partnering farming communities.
During the year, the following awards of the British Safety
Council were received by respective units - The Sword
of Honour by Tribeni and Bollaram units, the Globe of
Honour for Environment by Bhadrachalam and Kovai
units, 5 Star rating for Safety & Health by Kovai, Tribeni
and Bollaram units and 5 Star rating for Environment by
Bhadrachalam and Kovai units. In addition, Bhadrachalam
unit won the CII - National Award for Excellence in Energy
Management and Kovai unit won the CII - National award
for Excellence in Water Management. The business also
won the CII Environmental Best Practices Award 2012
for its WOW initiatives.
The above have been made possible as a result of
continuous focus on various safety initiatives including
induction of safety stewards, strengthening systems,
spreading awareness and integrating environment, health
and safety (EHS) as part of the overall Total Productive
Maintenance (TPM) initiative. In addition, all units have
taken proactive steps to comply with the revised norms
expected to be announced by the Central Pollution
Control Board for water consumption and effluent
discharge. With regard to energy consumption, strategies
to contain usage across units continue to be pursued.
Further, the business is also investing in a new high
pressure fuel efficient boiler in its Tribeni unit, which will
enable use of inferior grades of coal and also significantly
reduce coal consumption. Your Company is also
committed to increasing the share of energy consumed
from non-conventional and renewable sources and
towards this has commissioned 5 windmills close to
Coimbatore to generate 7.5 MW of electricity for use at
the Kovai unit. It is expected that energy efficiency
coupled with greater use of renewable sources of energy
will enable your Company to derive benefits from sale
of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) under the
Electricity Act 2003 as well as obtain benefits from newer
initiatives like Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) under
the Energy Conservation Act 2001.
The TPM initiative has now been extended to all units
and apart from yielding significant financial benefits will
also help institutionalise best-in-class systems, processes
and work methods. The success of this initiative is
attributable to the whole hearted support and participation
of all employees across the business.
During the year, the Tribeni and Bollaram units also obtained
the FSC Chain of Custody Certification ensuring that
all four paper manufacturing units of your Company
now have this certification.
of designs, pack changes and reduced product launch
timelines for your Companys FMCG businesses, thereby
providing a source of competitive advantage in the
market place.
Your Company undertook expansion projects at Haridwar
and Chennai, during the year, to address growing
opportunities in external trade and to enable manufacture
of a full range of packaging solutions from both locations.
The expansion programme includes the addition of a
carton line for meeting the growing needs of customers
based in the northern region and balancing investment

in-class quality management systems and processes,
dispersed manufacturing footprint and a diversified
packaging solutions portfolio, the business is well poised
to service all the requirements of your Companys FMCG
businesses and to rapidly grow its external trade.
The year under review witnessed steep hikes in the cost
of chemicals and coal as well as curtailment in supplies
of coal by the government through the reduction of
allocations, forcing the industry to buy high cost coal in
the open market. These factors, together with the sharp
depreciation of the Indian Rupee, adversely impacted
the industry. However, your Company with its integrated
operations and strategic cost management actions
was able to minimise the adverse impact of these
cost escalations.

underway to create a unique product portfolio.
Your Companys pioneering R&D efforts on varietal
improvements in leaf tobacco were further fortified with
the development of various burley and oriental type
tobaccos. These initiatives such as improved nursery
management designed for higher efficiencies in seed
use, optimised usage of crop production chemicals and
other agronomic practices are helping improve the
potential of newly developed varieties. These efforts are
not only helping secure global demand for Indian leaf
tobacco by providing enhanced value to global customers
but also in improving the socio-economic status of the
small/tribal farmer. Capitalising on your Companys R&D
efforts on varietal improvement, the area under coverage
of flue-cured virginia hybrids was substantially increased
in collaboration with the Central Tobacco Research
Institute and the Tobacco Board of India.

Anaparti unit was awarded the National Level Excellence
in Water Management Award, as Excellent Water
Efficient Unit by CII.
D. AGRI BUSINESS
Cigarette Leaf Tobacco
While the end of 2010 marked a significant shift in the
global supply-demand scenario triggered by declining
sales of major global cigarette manufacturers and excess
leaf production in major origins, 2011 witnessed a further
continuation of this declining trend of global cigarette
production, impacted by the downturn in the global
economy. The downward correction in leaf tobacco
demand led to world supplies moving to a surplus situation
and a rapid build up of uncommitted stocks.
Consequently, farm and export prices of Indian flue-
cured crop witnessed significant declines. In line with
subdued trends across the globe, Indian unmanufactured
leaf exports degrew by about 20% in volume terms
since 2009.
The position for Indian flue-cured virginia tobaccos gets
further vitiated by the decrease in domestic demand due
to high differential taxes on the end use products, namely,
cigarettes vis--vis other types of tobacco. This gets
further aggravated by the large scale import of cigarettes,
both legal and contraband, into India which do not use
domestic flue-cured virginia tobaccos.
In the short term, supply side corrections are anticipated
in key origins after a period of consecutive increases in
global flue-cured leaf production driven by muted demand
and manufacturers seeking to lower their inventory
durations. In the medium term, demand is expected to
pick up gradually with the anticipated revival of the global
economy coupled with growing consumption in Asia,
Middle East, parts of Europe and Africa. It is also
estimated that the consumption of other forms of tobacco
like Roll-Your-Own (RYO), Snus and Hubble Bubble will
grow at a faster rate, albeit on a smaller base.
Despite these adverse conditions, your Company was
able to sustain the demand for Indian tobaccos through
focused strategies leveraging its sources of competitive
advantage in crop development, product integrity,
strategic sourcing and superior processing capability.
Significant volumes of flue-cured tobaccos were garnered
through superior understanding of customer requirements
Despite adverse conditions, triggered by declining sales
of major global cigarette manufacturers and excess leaf production
in major origins, your Company was able to sustain the demand
for Indian tobaccos through focused strategies.
To further enhance quality and improve supply chain
efficiencies, your Company commissioned a new facility
in Karnataka with a capacity of 35 million kgs per annum.
This investment will not only enhance in-house processing
capacity but is also expected to reduce supply chain
costs given the factorys proximity to the tobacco growing
regions in Karnataka. The business is also actively
engaged in augmenting its warehousing capacities and
reengineering its supply chain from a strategic cost
management perspective.
Your Company with its unmatched R&D capability, state-
of-the-art facilities, unique crop development and
extension expertise, deep understanding of customer
and farmer needs, is well poised to leverage emerging
opportunities for Indian leaf tobacco and sustain its
position as a world class leaf tobacco organisation.
Other Agri Commodities
The Indian food grain production for the year is estimated
at a record high of over 250 million tonnes mainly on
account of increase in production of rice and wheat.
Wheat output estimates are at an all-time high of about
90 million tonnes. Rice production, at around 103 million
tonnes, was higher than 96 million tonnes in the previous
year. Overall oil seed production was also on the higher
side at about 30 million tonnes. However, India still
continues to import nearly 50% of its requirement of
edible oil.
The international soya bean market reflected a slowdown
in arrival of quantities with all major producers showing
a dip in production. Overall global production was about
8% lower than the previous year. While Brazil, Argentina
and the US all reported lower crop outputs, demand
from China was on the upswing. Although the Indian
crop grew in terms of volume, it suffered in terms of
quality due to pre-monsoon showers in the growing
areas and as such was not able to leverage the uptrend
in global prices. Your Companys uniquely structured
commodity sourcing business model with strong
competencies in multi-location sourcing, logistics and
supply chain management was able to leverage its
strengths to improve value capture in the soya market
and significantly expand business scale.
Your Company continued to source identity preserved,
special varieties of wheat through its e-Choupal network
channel for its Branded Packaged Foods business. The
continuous focus on minimising bridging costs of wheat
for Aashirvaad atta, while seeking to capitalise on
geographical and varietal arbitrage opportunities, provided
a competitive advantage to your Companys Foods
business. The external wheat business successfully
catered to a wider range of customers, such as brand
owners, private labels, food processors and millers.
In the area of potato sourcing, the business continued
to support the Foods business by procuring the highest
quality chip stock potatoes for your Companys Bingo!
brand of potato chips. The endeavour of partnering with
farmers to source locally grown potatoes (closer to
manufacturing units) helped minimise logistics costs.
Trials for the development of new varieties and new
areas continued during the year and such extension
efforts helped significantly increase potato crop this year
in Gujarat.
India is the worlds largest producer, consumer and
exporter of spices. Export of spices from India has been
growing at 23% per annum over the last 5 years. The
growing concerns of food safety and product integrity
have increased demand for suppliers with end-to-end
capabilities having complete custody of the supply chain,
supported by appropriate technology, quality practices
and augmented with traceability management systems
to provide the required product assurance. Your Company
seeks to harness this opportunity by building a business
model based on customised products and services with
requisite crop development, state-of-the-art infrastructure
and tailor-made products and processes to garner an
increasing share of the fast growing domestic and export
spices market. During the past five years, the business,
apart from providing support to your Companys
Aashirvaad range of spices has also gained considerable
market standing amongst large domestic and export
customers as a supplier of assured quality with
Your Companys uniquely structured commodity sourcing business model

customised processes and infrastructure and with a
significantly high level of source credibility.
Enhancing productivity and establishing effective linkages
to markets lies at the root of revitalising agriculture. In
this context, effective agricultural extension services are
crucial to enabling effective absorption of technology
and best practices at the farm level. Through the Choupal
Pradarshan Khet initiative, the agri services vertical has
been focusing on improving productivity of crops (food
grains, cereals, oil seeds and horticulture) while
deepening relationship with the farming community.
During the year, linkages with Indian Agriculture Research
Institute (IARI) were strengthened through an MOU to
provide transfer of new varieties of wheat seeds to
farmers under Public Private Partnership (PPP). A
number of farmer training programmes along with farm
demonstrations were also undertaken. Demonstrations
of remunerative horticulture crops which provide a higher
income have also benefitted farmers across the States
of Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and
West Bengal.
Provision of rural health services through the e-Choupal
platform has also been initiated by your Company. A
Market Based Partnership for Health programme was
started on a pilot basis in the previous year specifically
focusing on improvement of maternal and child health
and hygiene. In alliance with the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID), village health
champions were identified and given specific inputs and
training for dissemination and creation of awareness
among women. In alliance with partnering companies
in the health space, the village health champions also
market the related health and hygiene products which
in turn provide them with an avenue for income. With
the successful consolidation of this project in Gonda
and Chandauli districts of Uttar Pradesh, your Company
now seeks to replicate the same across other areas
covered by the e-Choupal network.
These initiatives will progressively transform the
e-Choupal network into an all-weather venture relatively
de-risked from regulatory uncertainties and market
volatility even as it continues to provide strategic
sourcing support to your Companys Branded Packaged
Foods business as well as to serve as an efficient model
for rural development.

Surya Nepal Private Limited
The operating environment in Nepal continued to remain
uncertain during the year under review. The spate of
disruptions in economic activity, as a result of the
disturbed industrial climate and political instability,
has resulted in deceleration in economic growth and
employment generation and a slowdown in investments.
The GDP growth for the financial year ended mid
July 2011 was at 3.5% against 4% in the previous
year with Industry growing only at 1.4% compared to
3.3 % last year.
Through the Choupal Pradarshan Khet initiative, the agri services
vertical has been focusing on improving productivity of crops
(food grains, cereals, oil seeds and horticulture)
while deepening relationship with the farming community.
Amidst the challenging operating environment, the
company maintained its growth trajectory during the year
under review. In the twelve-month period ended
13th March, 2012 (30th Falgun 2068), the company
recorded a 15% growth in sales with Gross Revenue
(net of VAT) increasing to Nepalese Rupees (NRs.) 1426
crores from NRs. 1244 crores in the previous year.
Net Profit at NRs. 286 crores increased by 21% over the
previous year. The company retained its status as the
single largest private sector contributor to the exchequer
accounting for about 16% of excise collections and 3.5%
of the total revenues of the Government of Nepal.
The company consolidated its leadership position in the
cigarette market through unrelenting focus on providing
consumers a wide range of product choices of superior
quality. On the manufacturing front, the company
continued to invest in new technology cigarette packing
lines and development of human talent to reinforce its
market standing. The construction of a second factory
near Pokhara is in progress and will position the company
well for meeting consumer demand in the longer term.
The disturbed industrial relations situation prevailing
in Biratnagar Industrial belt, led to frequent disruption of
operations at the garments manufacturing unit. This
rendered export operations unviable and the company
was constrained to close down the facility. In the domestic
branded apparel industry, the supply chain and distribution
infrastructure for John Players and Springwood brands
were further strengthened during the year.
In the Safety Matches business, revenues of the
companys brand Tir, have grown by nearly 36% during
the year, evidencing its strong and growing consumer
franchise.
The company continued to partner with tobacco farmers
in Nepal for productivity and quality enhancement at the
farm level through the induction of agricultural best
practices. Such efforts are expected to result in
sustainable benefits for both the farmer community and
the company. The companys commitment to its role as
a responsible corporate citizen was further reinforced
with initiatives such as the construction of a school
building for the local community proximate to the site of
its second factory near Pokhara and the institution of
the Surya Nepal Pvt. Ltd. Asha Social Entrepreneurship
Awards. At Simra, the company continued to support
multiple local community development programmes
including health camps and irrigation development.
The company declared a dividend of NRs. 111.50 per
equity share of NRs. 100/- each for the year ended 16th
July, 2011 (32nd Ashad 2068).
ITC Infotech India Limited
The global IT services industry continued to be impacted
in 2011 by macroeconomic uncertainties, particularly in
Europe, which adversely impacted technology spends.
Under these challenging circumstances, the companys
consolidated Total Revenue grew by over 30% to ` 830
crores, which is well above the industry average and
Net Profit grew by over 170% to ` 50 crores.
This robust performance is an outcome of the successful
strategies adopted by the company in (i) domain-led
differentiation across identified industry verticals,
(ii) geographic expansion to leverage emerging growth
opportunities aligned to capabilities and (iii) sharp focus
on delivery excellence, designed to demonstrate
continuous value addition to clients while enhancing
service productivity.
For the year under review:
(a) ITC Infotech India Limited registered a Total
Revenue of ` 566.23 crores (previous year
` 426.42 crores) and a Net Profit of ` 28.69 crores
(previous year ` 7.46 crores);
(b) ITC Infotech Limited, UK, (I2B) a wholly owned
subsidiary of the company, registered a Total
Revenue of GBP 24.35 million (previous year
GBP 22.22 million) and a Net Profit of GBP
2.13 million (previous year GBP 1.03 million);
(c) ITC Infotech (USA), Inc., (I2A) a wholly owned
subsidiary of the company, together with its wholly
owned subsidiary Pyxis Solution LLC, registered
Total Revenues of US$ 49.85 million (previous
year US$ 38.43 million) and a Net Profit of US$
0.3 million (previous year US$ 0.01 million).
With a view to securing the future, apart from expanding
the companys existing in-house domain solution
capabilities, specific development programmes have
been implemented to embrace disruptive technologies
such as cloud computing, social media and mobile
computing. Further, as in the past, there was a selective
expansion of market presence in high potential
geographies to leverage market opportunities and
also to serve as a measure of risk mitigation in the event
of economic challenges in other markets. Continuing
the trend, during the year, branches were set up in
Hong Kong, France, Germany and South Korea.
In addition, an important milestone in the evolution of
the companys delivery capability has been the
commissioning of a new Development Centre at Pune
during the year.
While the quality of delivery continues to delight global
customers, the company has also been contributing in
a meaningful manner towards enhancing the
competitiveness of your Companys other businesses.
The implementation of Club ITC - a pan-ITC loyalty
programme for your Company - on Siebel technology,
is believed to be the first of its kind in the world.
The company launched its first software product in the
Indian market during the year. Named OptSustain, this
assists customers in managing and reporting corporate
sustainability performance. This is a notable addition to
the portfolio of intellectual property.
An externally administered customer satisfaction survey
indicates that customers have awarded the company
high scores, which are ranked amongst the top few in
the industry. While the scores validate the world class
quality of service, retaining such scores for the second
year stands testimony to the commitment to continuously
raising the levels of service to meet growing market
expectations.
The overall service delivery capability of the company
continues to earn global recognition. The company was
featured for the sixth consecutive year in the 2011 Global
Services 100 survey, conducted by Global Services and
Neo Advisory. Leading analyst firms such as Gartner
and Forrester Research continue to highlight the
companys capabilities in industry and technology reports.
On the talent management front, the company has
implemented and continuously refines sharply focused
initiatives encompassing recruitment, training,
engagement and retention. The broad spectrum of
services, coupled with growing client engagements
across the world, has created workplace challenges
necessary to motivate employees, offer attractive career
growth opportunities and minimise attrition.
While uncertain economic conditions continue to persist,
particularly in developed markets which account for
about 80% of IT services spends, with a portfolio of
differentiated solutions, strong customer relationships,
expanding market presence and excellence in delivery,
the company is confident of sustaining its robust growth.
Russell Credit Limited
During the year, the company registered a Total Revenue
of ` 40.58 crores and a Net Profit of ` 31.43 crores.
The company, during the year under review, sold its
entire holding in Ordinary Shares of Technico Pty Limited,
Australia and in Equity Shares of Wimco Limited to your
Company. Consequent to the sale, both these companies
became direct subsidiaries of your Company.
As stated in the Report of the Directors of the previous
years, a petition was filed by an individual in the High
Court at Calcutta, seeking an injunction against the
companys Counter Offer to the shareholders of VST
Industries Limited (VST), made in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial
Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 1997,
as a competitive bid, pursuant to a Public Offer made
by an Acquirer, which closed on 13th June, 2001.
The High Court at Calcutta did not grant an injunction.
However, transaction in the shares of VST pursuant to
the Counter Offer by the company and the other Acquirer
is subject to the final Order of that Court, which is awaited.
Similar petitions filed by an individual and two
shareholders, in the High Court of Delhi and High Court
of Judicature of Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad, had
earlier been dismissed by the respective High Courts.
Wimco Limited
The company achieved a Net Revenue of ` 170 crores
during the year and posted a net loss for the year of
` 45.99 crores against ` 59.65 crores loss in the previous
year, primarily as a result of one-time separation costs
and steep increases in input costs. During the year the
company has raised ` 59.56 crores through Rights issue
of shares.
Margins in the Safety Matches business continued to
remain under pressure mainly due to escalation in prices
of raw materials like wood, splints, paperboard and key
chemicals. The business initiated several cost
management measures to rationalise costs and improve
margins in this highly competitive category.
Availability of critical raw materials like wood at
competitive prices is crucial for the success of the Safety
Matches business. The Agro Forestry business of the
company is taking steps towards this end by supplying
high quality poplar sapling to farmers in Northern India.
Apart from creating a long term sustainable supply of a
critical raw material, the companys initiative of creating
sustainable and meaningful linkages across the farmer
community is helping to create employment and livelihood
opportunities while improving the green cover in the
region.
The recent Union Budget 2012 accentuated the already
disadvantaged position of the mechanised Safety
Matches industry by further increasing the differential in
excise duties between the mechanised and non-
mechanised sectors. This has forced the company to
evaluate alternatives to arrive at a viable business model.
In continuation of last years action to enable better
leveraging of the underlying asset base, a voluntary
separation scheme was effected at the Kolkata factory
during the year.
The Engineering business revenues grew by 19% during
the year driven mainly by improved value capture through
continuous product development in packaging machinery.
The business plans to leverage new and improved
product design to offer superior packaging solutions to
its customers.
The initiatives taken by the company during the year to
restructure its operations are expected to yield positive
results in the years to come.
Srinivasa Resorts Limited
the company recorded a Total Revenue of ` 57.66 crores
(previous year ` 56.04 crores) and a Profit Before Tax
of ` 11.89 crores (previous year ` 12.85 crores).
Net Profit for the year stood at ` 9.40 crores (previous
year ` 9.26 crores).
The challenging environment in the State of Andhra
Pradesh is adversely impacting the financial performance
of the companys hotel ITC Kakatiya, Hyderabad. The
hotel continued its focus on cost containment to maintain
profitability in a year of intense market competition and
high inflation.
During the year, ITC Kakatiya obtained the prestigious
Leadership in Energy and Environment Design Platinum
certification from the United States Green Building
Council (USGBC).
The hotel received the Times Food Guide awards for
Kebabs & Kurries and Dakshin with both being rated
as the best restaurants in their respective categories for
the third time in a row. In addition, the Marco Polo bar
received the award for best outlet in its category.
The Board of Directors of the company has recommended
a dividend of ` 2/- per equity share of ` 10/- each for the
year ended 31st March, 2012.
Fortune Park Hotels Limited
During the financial year ended 31st March, 2012, the
company recorded a Total Revenue of ` 20.78 crores
(previous year ` 18.01 crores) and earned a Net Profit
of ` 4.96 crores (previous year ` 4.12 crores).
The company which caters to the mid market to upscale
segment continued its expansion by forging new alliances,
taking the total number of hotels in its fold to 67 with an
aggregate room inventory of over 5,000. The Fortune
brand now has 40 operating hotels and another 4 hotels
are slated to be commissioned in the next financial year.
The remaining 23 hotel projects are under various stages
of development. The brand remains a frontrunner in its
operating segment and is well positioned to sustain its
leadership position in the industry.
The company is well known for providing quality products
and services which have helped position Fortune as
the premier value brand in the Indian hospitality sector.
The My Fortune brand, representing a stylish lifestyle
with efficient personalised service, is the latest addition
to the bouquet of brands offered by Fortune Hotels.
During the year, the company was awarded the Hospitality
India Award for the Best First Class Hotel Chain, 2011
and Satte award for Leading Mid - Market chain, 2012.
Fortune Select Exotica, Navi Mumbai was awarded the
World Luxury Hotel Award for the year 2010 and 2011.
a dividend of ` 10/- per equity share of ` 10/- each for
the year ended 31st March, 2012.
Bay Islands Hotels Limited
the company recorded a Total Revenue of ` 1.37 crores
(previous year ` 1.12 crores) and a Net Profit of
` 0.92 crores (previous year ` 0.76 crores).
a dividend of ` 65/- per equity share of ` 100/- each for
the year ended 31st March, 2012.
Landbase India Limited
The company owns and operates the Classic Golf Resort,
a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, near Gurgaon.
As reported in the previous years, golf based resorts
present attractive long term prospects in view of their
growing popularity all over the world. The work towards
creating a destination luxury resort hotel at the Classic
Golf Resort is now underway and the project is
progressing as per schedule.
During the year, the company issued and allotted to
your Company, 23,00,000 Redeemable Preference
Shares of ` 100/- each for cash at par, aggregating
` 23 crores. The proceeds from the Preference Share
issue are being utilised by the company for the
construction of the destination luxury resort.
Technico Pty Limited
The company continued to focus on upgrading the
TECHNITUBER
Technology and consequent

commercialisation and field multiplication through its
wholly owned subsidiaries in different geographies. The
company is also engaged in the marketing of
TECHNITUBER
seeds to global customers from the

production facilities of its subsidiaries in India, China
and Canada.
During the year under review, your Company acquired
from its wholly owned subsidiary, Russell Credit Limited,
the entire shareholding of the company. The companys
leadership in the production of early generation seed
potatoes and strength in agronomy continue to be
leveraged by your Company not only for sourcing chip
stock for the Bingo! brand of your Companys Branded
Packaged Foods business but also for servicing the
seed potato requirements of the farmer base of your
Companys Other Agri Commodities business.
For the year under review:
a) Technico Pty Limited, Australia registered a
turnover of Australian Dollar (A$) 1.13 million
(previous year A$ 1.58 million) and a Net Profit
of A$ 0.11 million (previous year A$ 0.10 million).
The lower turnover was due to reduced orders by
a large customer as well as the strengthening of
the Australian Dollar against the US Dollar and
Euro which are the companys invoicing currencies.
The companys property at Paddys River,
Australia, held for sale for some years, was
disposed off during the year and the sale proceeds
along with the available cash balance were utilised
to repay all outstanding loans of the company.
b) Technico Agri Sciences Limited, India registered
a Net Revenue of ` 48.20 crores (previous year
` 47.65 crores) and a Net Profit of ` 7.83 crores
(previous year ` 7.02 crores). During the year
under review, production of potato in India,
estimated at 37.5 million tonnes, recorded an
all-time high leading to surplus stocks and low
prices. As a result, the demand for seed potato
and its prices were also depressed. Consequently,
the company experienced a muted growth in
turnover. However, the company leveraged its
market standing, product quality, on-field
performance and strong trade and customer
relationship, to drive a price premium for its seed
potatoes and deliver 11.5% growth in profits over
the previous year. During the year, the company
also repaid its outstanding loan from Russell Credit
Limited in accordance with agreed terms.
c) Technico Asia Holdings Pty Limited, Australia,
Technico Technologies Inc., Canada and Technico
Horticultural (Kunming) Co. Limited, China
There were no significant events to report with
respect to the above companies.
King Maker Marketing Inc.
King Maker Marketing Inc. (KMM) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of your Company registered in the State of
New Jersey, USA. It is engaged in the distribution of
your Companys tobacco products in the US market.
During the financial year ended 31st March, 2012, the
company recorded Net Sales of US$ 26.95 million
(previous year US$ 35.55 million) and earned Net Income
of US$ 0.48 million (previous year US$ 0.52 million).
During the year under review, KMM continued to face
a challenging operating environment, post the Federal
Excise Tax increases of the previous year, which resulted
in a decline of cigarette sales volumes and revenues.
The year also saw the major multinational companies
solidify their foray into the discount segment in which
the company operates, with tighter loyalty programmes,
as consumers pursued value. Growth of Pipe tobaccos
as a substitute for Roll Your Own Tobacco, cigarette
manufacturing machines at retail, presence of flavoured
little cigars akin to cigarettes, discount cigarettes
manufactured in Native American reservations sans
State taxes, and illicit trade all challenged the companys
ability to drive volume upturns. Consequently, KMMs
pricing power was stagnant. Improved cost metrics
nevertheless led to enhanced profitability.
Government regulations in the tobacco sector continue
to take shape. We believe that the industry will consolidate
further as US Food and Drug Administration regulations
evolve, including in the Other Tobacco Product (OTP)
categories like Pipe Tobaccos and Cigars. The company
will continue to attune its strategies based on emerging
opportunities in the market.
ITC Global Holdings Pte. Limited

RISK MANAGEMENT
As a diversified enterprise, your Company has always
had a system-based approach to business risk
management. Backed by strong internal control systems,
the current risk management framework consists of the
following elements:
The Corporate Governance Policy clearly lays
down the roles and responsibilities of the various
entities in relation to risk management. A range
of responsibilities, from the strategic to the
operational, is specified in the Governance Policy.
These role definitions, inter-alia, are aimed at
ensuring formulation of appropriate risk
management policies and procedures, their
effective implementation and independent
monitoring and reporting by Internal Audit.
The Corporate Risk Management Cell works with
the businesses to establish and monitor the specific
profiles including both strategic risks and
operational risks. The process includes the
prioritisation of risks, selection of appropriate
mitigation strategies and periodic reviews of the
progress on the management of risks.
A combination of centrally issued policies and
divisionally-evolved procedures brings robustness
to the process of ensuring business risks are
effectively addressed.
Appropriate structures have been put in place to
proactively monitor and manage the inherent risks
in businesses with unique / relatively high risk
profiles.
A strong and independent Internal Audit function
at the Corporate level carries out risk focused
audits across all businesses, enabling identification
of areas where risk management processes may
need to be improved. The Audit Committee of the
Board reviews Internal Audit findings, and provides
strategic guidance on internal controls. The Audit
Compliance and Review Committee closely
monitors the internal control environment within
your Company and ensures that Internal Audit
recommendations are effectively implemented.
At the business level, Divisional Auditors
continuously verify compliance with laid down
policies and procedures, and help plug control
gaps by assisting operating management in the
formulation of control procedures for new areas
of operations.
A robust and comprehensive framework of
strategic planning and performance management
ensures realisation of business objectives based
on effective strategy implementation. The annual
planning exercise requires all businesses to clearly
identify their top risks and set out a mitigation plan
with agreed timelines and accountability.
Businesses are required to confirm periodically
that all relevant risks have been identified,
assessed, evaluated and that appropriate
mitigation systems have been implemented.
The combination of policies and processes as outlined
above adequately addresses the various risks associated
with your Companys businesses. The senior
management of your Company periodically reviews the
risk management framework to maintain its
contemporariness so as to effectively address the
emerging challenges in a dynamic business environment.

Significant investments in renewable sources of energy
along with improved utilisation of the biomass fired boiler
have led to 38.5% of your Companys total energy requirements
being met from renewable sources.
Your Company continues its participation in market-
based mechanisms for mitigating the impact of climate
change under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
developed by United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Several CDM projects

Given its abiding commitment to reduce dependence
on fossil fuel based energy, your Company has
progressively made significant investments in renewable
sources of energy. In addition to the 43.6 MW wind
power projects and a 90 Tonnes Per Hour biomass fired
boiler already in operation for over a year, your Company
has installed additional 13.8 MW wind energy generators
in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. These investments
along with improved utilisation of the biomass fired boiler
have led to 38.5% of your Companys total energy
requirements being met from renewable sources.
Recognising that water will be an increasingly serious
area of concern, your Company has made significant
investments in water conservation and harvesting
initiatives to enhance its positive water footprint.
These include adopting best available technologies and
benchmarked practices to achieve zero effluent
discharges, providing treated wastewater for irrigation
as an alternative for farmers in water stressed areas and
enhancing rainwater harvesting both within units and
across watershed catchment areas. All these initiatives
have resulted in the creation of rainwater harvesting
potential that is over two times the net water consumption
of your Companys operations. The Watershed
Management programme of your Company now covers
nearly 90,000 hectares of water stressed area.
Your Company led the green building movement in India
and takes justifiable pride that all its premium luxury
hotels are now LEED (Leadership in Energy and

sustainable growth and business solutions. The 6th
Sustainability Summit: Sustainability Solutions, 2011,
attracted over 350 participants representing experts from
industry, government and civil society from India and
several countries across the world and over 25 exhibitors
participated in the first-ever Sustainability Exhibition.
The CII ITC Sustainability Awards, instituted to
recognise excellence in sustainability performance, have
honoured a large number of leading Indian companies
and provided encouragement to many others. It is
heartening that the number of aspirants for the Award
is steadily increasing year on year.
The Centre is today playing a major role in engaging
with policy makers to create an environment that
encourages the adoption of sustainable business
practices. The Centre is a consulting partner in several
policy interventions such as Green Guidelines for Public
Procurement, Low Carbon Expert Group of the Planning
Commission, National Innovation Council, Ministry of
Corporate Affairs on CSR Policy, National Awards for
Prevention of Pollution, Rajiv Gandhi Environment Awards
for Clean Technology and Technology and Finance
Committee under the Montreal Protocol. It is also

Responsibility based on ISO 26000, Green House Gas
Emissions Inventories and Verification based on ISO
14064 and business model innovation. It is the only
certified trainer for sustainability assurance professionals
in South-East and South Asia.
Social Investments
Your Companys overarching aspiration to create
meaningful societal value, inspired by a vision to subserve
a larger national purpose and abide by the strong value
of Trusteeship, is manifest in ITC's strategy to enhance
the competitiveness of value chains of which it is a part
and, in particular, those that encompass the most
disadvantaged sections of society, especially in rural
India, through economic empowerment based on
grassroots capacity building. Your Companys Social
Investments Programme continues to be influenced by
the needs and concerns of rural communities with whom
your Companys agri-businesses have forged a long
and enduring partnership, and the communities (both
rural and urban) residing in close proximity of its
manufacturing units.
Consequently, (a) For rural communities, the attempt is
to diversify farming systems by broad-basing the farm
and off-farm based livelihoods portfolio of the poor
through an integrated approach that includes the
development of wastelands, watersheds, agriculture and
animal husbandry. (b) In the catchment habitations of
manufacturing units, the focus is on creating livelihoods
through agarbatti production and developing social capital
to prepare the beneficiaries for relevant and contemporary
skills.
The footprints of your Companys Social Investments
Programme now extends to 60 districts in the States of
Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar
Pradesh and West Bengal.
Your Companys pioneering initiative of wasteland
development through the Social Forestry Programme
currently covers 24,196 hectares in 1,321 villages,
impacting nearly 30,000 poor households. This is an
integral part of the Social & Farm Forestry initiative that
covers a total of over 1,25,000 hectares today. This
initiative is aligned to its pulpwood supply chain to create
a sustainable source of raw material for your Company
and also to meet the energy requirements of rural
households. The highlight of this year has been the
introduction of the Agro Forestry model. Another
significant achievement of the year was the successful
completion of the FSC - FM (Forest Stewardship
Council Forest Management) Certification audit.
The coverage of your Companys Soil and Moisture
Conservation programme, designed to assist farmers in
identified moisture-stressed districts, increased by an
additional 24,992 hectares. 442 water-bodies were
created during the year. The total area covered under
the watershed programme cumulatively stands at 89,491
hectares. Your Company signed two new MOUs with
the Government of Rajasthan for promoting sustainable
livelihoods through watershed development in the districts
of Bundi and Pratapgarh under MGNREGA.
The Improved Agricultural Programme this year focussed
on two new initiatives: the direct recharge of defunct
wells, with a coverage of 61 wells and improved
agricultural practices through 37 farmer schools with
918 farmer students and demonstration plots to ensure
methodical and systematic learning.
The Sustainable Livelihoods initiative of your Company
strives to create alternative employment for surplus
labour and thereby decrease pressure on arable land
by promoting non-farm incomes. The programme for
genetic improvements of cattle through artificial
insemination to produce high-yielding crossbred
progenies has been given special emphasis because it
reaches out to the most impoverished and has the
potential to enable them to live with social and economic
dignity. 83 new Cattle Development Centres were
established during the year, taking the total to 293 centres
covering more than 5,000 villages, which provided 2.32
lakhs artificial inseminations during the year thus taking
the total to 8.07 lakhs artificial inseminations performed
till date. Taking the next step in the development of a
viable livestock economy, Dairy Development in Munger
was a major focus area this year.
The Womens Empowerment Programme covered over
16,000 women through 1,380 self-help groups (SHG)
with total savings of ` 285 lakhs. Cumulatively, nearly
40,000 women were gainfully employed either through
micro-enterprises or assisted with loans to pursue income
generating activities. Over 19,000 new students were
covered through Supplementary Learning Centres and
Anganwadis. Of these, 952 first generation learners
were enrolled into formal schools for the first time in their
lives. 919 youth were covered this year by the skills
development initiative.
The advances made towards contributing to Indias
sustainable development goals have been possible, in
large measure, to your Companys partnerships with
some globally renowned NGOs like BAIF, Dhan, FES,
MYRADA, Pratham, SEWA, SRIJAN, DSC and WOTR
amongst others. These partnerships, which bring together
the best-in-class management practices of your Company
and the development experience and mobilisation skills
of NGOs, will continue to provide innovative grassroots
solutions to some of Indias most challenging problems
of development in the years to come.
Societal Capability Development
In line with its core value of Trusteeship, ITC supports
various initiatives that build capability of Indias rich
human resources to empower the nations fast growing
working-age population. It also helps preserve Indias
rich cultural heritage enhancing the spirit embodied in
its credo of Lets Put India First.
To cater to the need for professionally trained human
resources in the fast growing hospitality industry, your
Company contributed to the setting up of the
Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration
(WGSHA) together with the Dr. TMA Pai Foundation in
1987. WGSHAs training and development activities are
recognised by the International Hotel Association, Paris.
The college has been ranked amongst the top universities
in the sector over the years. Graduates of the college
are today part of several leading hotel chains of the
world. WGSHAs mission is to mould young men and
women into competent and responsible professionals
with the potential to emerge as future leaders in the
Hospitality industry. As part of its efforts to remain
contemporary, WGSHA faculty members are sent to
ITC Hotels to understand the Best Practices employed
at the hotels. A significant number of WGSHA students
are sent for 6-months internship to various ITC Hotels.
The college started with an annual intake of 30 students
which has increased to 100 students over the years.
The ITC Sangeet Research Academy (ITC SRA) is a
true embodiment of sustained corporate commitment to
a priceless national heritage. It is a unique institution
recognised for being the finest repository of Hindustani
Classical Music. With a commitment that has remained

mission of preservation and propagation of Hindustani
Classical Music. With a galaxy of 9 pre-eminent Gurus
and 50 Scholars today, from 20, three years ago, the
Academy is presently engaged in carrying the message
of Hindustani Classical Music across our country from
the metros to rural India. Recent forays into neighbouring
Bangladesh have brought home another dimension of
the shared sub-continental heritage.
Your Company also supports a number of initiatives for
vocational training within the catchment areas of its
operations that have proven to be effective in empowering
youth with requisite skills to increase their employability
in the market. Employment opportunities have also
been created for differently-abled people suited to
their capabilities.
R&D, QUALITY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Your Company continues to invest in a comprehensive

several technical aspects of plant breeding and genetics
of both species. This will accelerate your Companys
R&D efforts in creating future generations of these crops
with greater genetic and trait diversity, which the crops
currently lack.
Your Companys Biosciences R&D team continued to
pursue strategies to leverage the potential of convergence
of agricultural science, food science and the scientific
dimensions of its personal care products portfolio. During

Control Points (HACCP) methodology. Additionally,
the quality of all FMCG products of your Company is
regularly monitored through Product Quality Ratings
Systems (PQRS).
EXCISE
As mentioned in the previous years Report of the
Directors, a demand for ` 27.58 crores made by Central
Excise Department, Bengaluru, in respect of a period
prior to March 1983, was set aside by the Commissioner
(Appeals), Bengaluru, by his Order dated 22nd
November, 1999, which order was confirmed by the
CEGAT, Chennai vide its order dated 18th December,
2003. The Department has filed an appeal before
Supreme Court, which is pending.
With respect to the Munger factory, proceedings for
finalisation of assessments for the period prior to March
1983 resulted in the Deputy Commissioners Orders
dated 29th August, 2002 and 8th October, 2002
demanding ` 13.09 crores and ` 1.73 crores for
clearances of cigarettes and smoking mixtures
respectively. These were confirmed by the Commissioner
(Appeals), Patna vide his orders dated 22nd December,
2004, against which your Company has preferred
appeals before CESTAT, Kolkata, which are pending.
Your Company has made pre-deposits of ` 2 crores and
` 0.55 crores against the aforesaid demands at the
stage when its appeals were pending before
Commissioner (Appeals), Patna.
Although your Company, in a spirit of settlement, paid
the differential Excise Duty that arose out of an Order
of the Director General dated 10th April, 1986, as early
as in March, 1987, and although the Excise Departments
aforesaid Demands had either been quashed or stayed,
the Collectorates in Meerut, Patna and Bengaluru, during
the year 1995, filed criminal complaints in the Special
Court for Economic Offences at Kanpur, Patna and
Bengaluru, charging your Company and some of its
Directors and employees who were employed with your
Company during the period 1975 to 1983 with offences
under the Central Excises & Salt Act, 1944, purportedly
on the basis of the Order of the Director General dated
10th April, 1986. Your Directors are advised that no
prosecution would lie on the basis of the aforesaid Order
of the Director General dated 10th April, 1986. As earlier
reported, the criminal case in respect of the Bengaluru
factory was quashed by the Court. In the proceedings
relating to Saharanpur and Munger factories, the
individuals concerned have been discharged.
In all the above instances, your Directors are of the view
that your Company has a strong case and the Demands
and the Complaints are not sustainable.
Since your Company is contesting the above cases and
contending that the Show Cause, the Demand Notices
and the Complaints are not sustainable, it does not
accept any liability in this behalf. Your attention is drawn
to the Note 28 (v) in the Notes to the Financial Statements
and Note 28 (iv) in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
LUXURY TAX
As mentioned in earlier years, the Honble Supreme
Court declared the various State luxury tax levies on
cigarettes and other goods as unconstitutional. The
Court further directed that if any party, after obtaining a
stay order from the Court, had collected any amount
towards luxury tax from its customers / consumers, such
amounts should be paid to the respective State
governments. Since your Company had not charged or
collected any amounts towards luxury tax during the
relevant period, there is no liability on your Company in
this regard. However, the State of Andhra Pradesh has
filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court claiming
a sum of about ` 323.25 crores towards luxury tax, and
a further sum of about ` 261.97 crores towards interest,
on the allegation that your Company had charged and
collected luxury tax from its customers, but in view of a
stay order passed by the Court on 1st April, 1999, did
not pay the tax to the government. The States contention
is baseless, contrary to facts and is also contrary to the
assessment orders passed by the State luxury tax
authorities consistently holding that your Company, right
from 1st March, 1997, did not charge or collect any
amount towards luxury tax from its customers.
Accordingly, the States petition is being contested.
RECOVERY OF DUES FROM THE CHITALIAS AND
PROCEEDINGS INITIATED BY THE ENFORCEMENT
DIRECTORATE
You are aware that your Company had secured from
the District Court of New Jersey, USA, a decree for US$
12.19 million together with interest and costs against
Suresh and Devang Chitalia of USA and their companies,
and that the Chitalias had filed Bankruptcy Petitions
before the Bankruptcy Court, Orlando, Florida, which
are yet to be determined.
As explained in the previous reports of the Directors,
though your Company has written off the export dues
in foreign exchange from the Chitalias with the approval
of the Reserve Bank of India, your Company continues
with its recovery efforts in the Indian suit against the
Chitalia associates. The suit is in progress.
In the proceedings initiated by the Enforcement
Directorate, in respect of some of the show cause
memoranda issued by the Directorate, after hearing
arguments on behalf of your Company, the appropriate
authority has passed orders in favour of your Company,
and dropped those memoranda.
Meanwhile, some of the prosecutions launched by the
Enforcement Directorate have been quashed by the
Calcutta High Court while others are pending.
TREASURY OPERATIONS
During the year, your Companys treasury operations
continued to remain focused on deployment of temporary
surplus liquidity and managing the foreign exchange
exposures within a well-defined risk management
framework.
The year under review was characterised by rising
interest rates and tight liquidity conditions in the monetary
system. Against the backdrop of high inflation and the
consequent policy rate increases by the Central Bank,
interest rates hardened across maturities. In this
environment your Company, by appropriately managing
portfolio durations, continued to improve its treasury
performance.
All investment decisions in deployment of temporary
surplus liquidity continued to be guided by the tenets of
Safety, Liquidity and Return. The portfolio mix during
the year was constantly rebalanced in line with changing
interest rate scenario which helped enhance yields.
Investments were preferred in shorter duration assets
like Debt Mutual Funds and Bank Fixed Deposits. Your
Companys risk management processes ensured that
all deployments were made with proper evaluation of
underlying risk while remaining focused on capturing
market opportunities.
In the foreign exchange market, the Indian Rupee
depreciated significantly during second half of the year
and was witness to periods of very high volatility. In
order to manage volatility, the Reserve Bank of India
not only had to intervene in the market but also enforce
additional regulations restraining active management of
exposures by companies. In a scenario of high volatility
and stricter regulations, your Company adopted an
appropriate forex management strategy, which included
use of foreign exchange forward contracts and plain
vanilla options, to protect business margins and reduce
risks / costs.
As in earlier years, commensurate with the large size
of the temporary surplus liquidity under management,
treasury operations continue to be supported by
appropriate control mechanisms, including an
independent check of 100% of transactions, by your
Companys Internal Audit department.
TAXATION
As mentioned in the Report of the Directors of earlier
years, your Company had obtained Stay Orders from
the Honble Calcutta High Court in respect of the Income
Tax notices for re-opening the past assessments for the
period 1st July, 1983 to 30th June, 1986. This status
remains unchanged.
As stated in the Report of the Directors of earlier years,
in respect of similar Income Tax notices for re-opening
the past assessments for the period 1st April, 1990 to
31st March, 1993, the Honble Calcutta High Court had
admitted the Writ Petitions and ordered that no final
assessment orders be passed without the leave of the
Court. This status also remains unchanged.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS
Your Companys Public Deposit Scheme closed in the
year 2000. As at 31st March, 2012, there were no
deposits due for repayment except in respect of 2 deposit
holders totalling ` 20,000 which have been withheld on
the directives received from government agencies.
There was no failure to make repayments of Fixed
Deposits on maturity and the interest due thereon in
terms of the conditions of your Companys erstwhile
Schemes.
INVESTOR SERVICE CENTRE
The Investor Service Centre (ISC) of your Company
maintains its position as an exemplar in investor servicing.
The level 5 rating, the highest rating level, accorded by
Messrs. Det Norske Veritas, for the third year in a row,
stands testimony to the excellence achieved by ISC in
its service standards, systems and processes. ISC,
accredited with ISO 9001:2008 certification, has a
committed team of professionals supported by
contemporary infrastructure.
The Investor Relations section in your Companys
corporate website serves as a user friendly online
reference for investors in respect of share related matters.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
INFORMATION UNDER SECTION 217(1)(e) OF THE
COMPANIES ACT, 1956 READ WITH COMPANIES
(DISCLOSURE OF PARTICULARS IN THE REPORT OF
BOARD OF DIRECTORS) RULES, 1988 AND FORMING
PART OF THE DIRECTORS REPORT
a) Energy conservation measures taken:
All business units continued their efforts to improve energy
usage efficiency and increase contribution from renewable
sources of energy. Various key performance indicators like
specific energy (energy consumed per unit of production),
specific energy cost and renewable energy contribution
were continuously tracked to monitor progress in line with
the organisations overall carbon strategy. Innovative ways
and new technology were constantly explored to bring
about better alignment with the Government of Indias
National Action Plan on Climate Change. Some of the
measures adopted across your Company were:
I. Obtaining the LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environment Design) Platinum rating for Saharanpur
and Bengaluru factories and ITC Rajputana Hotel at
Jaipur, as part of a holistic approach towards
sustainability. This has helped achieve significant
reduction in energy consumption.
II. Installation of new renewable energy sources like
wind turbine generators and harnessing of solar
energy using thermal and photovoltaic systems.
III. Optimisation in energy consumption by replacing air-
cooled chillers with higher efficiency water-cooled
chillers, installing high efficiency burners in existing
boilers and improving waste heat recovery.
IV. Improvement in energy usage efficiency of lighting
systems by installation of automated lighting controls
and sensors, changing over to higher efficiency lighting
solutions such as Light Emitting Diodes and increased
daylight harvesting.
V. Appropriate fuel switching measures to alternative
fuels across different business units.
VI. Retrofitting measures and replacement of motors,
pumps, boilers, air compressors, cooling towers,
harmonic filters and transformers by high efficiency
systems across different business units.
VII. Improved air handling and dust extraction systems.
b) Additional investments and proposals, if any,
being implemented for reduction of
consumption of energy:
I. Renewable energy sources such as wind turbines
and micro hydel projects.
II. Process improvements across different factories and
installation of more energy efficient technology.
III. Solar pre-heating arrangement for boiler feed water
and furnace oil at different factories.
IV. Replacement of pumps, motors, compressors, blowers
etc. with higher efficiency sets.
V. Installation of harmonic filters and capacitor sets to
improve power factor of electrical system.
c) Impact of measures of (a) and (b) above for
reduction of energy consumption and consequent
impact on the cost of production of goods:
Energy conservation measures have resulted in savings
on energy costs for your Company which helped to
partially offset the impact of higher fuel costs and poorer
quality of coal. Continued focus on energy conservation
has resulted in reduction of specific energy consumption
per unit of production. The specific steam consumption
for Paperboards & Specialty Papers business has
reduced by more than 8% and specific power
consumption by 1% which are significant considering that
this business accounts for most of your Companys
energy consumption. Across all businesses the direct
reduction in electrical consumption exceeds 2 Gigawatt
Hours (GwH) which has reduced costs as well as your
Companys carbon emissions.

IT IS CORPORATE POLICY
Convention
To prepare financial statements in accordance with
applicable Accounting Standards in India. A summary of
important accounting policies is set out below. The financial
statements have also been prepared in accordance with
relevant presentational requirements of the Companies
Act, 1956.
Basis of Accounting
To prepare financial statements in accordance with the
historical cost convention modified by revaluation of certain
Fixed Assets as and when undertaken.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or
non-current as per the Companys normal operating cycle
and other criteria set out in the revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956 based on the nature of products and
the time between the acquisition of assets for processing
and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.
Fixed Assets
To state Fixed Assets at cost of acquisition inclusive of
inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses
related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving
construction, related pre-operational expenses form part
of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised
also include applicable borrowing costs, if any.
To capitalise software where it is expected to provide future
enduring economic benefits. Capitalisation costs include
licence fees and costs of implementation / system integration
services. The costs are capitalised in the year in which the
relevant software is implemented for use.
To charge off as a revenue expenditure all upgradation/
enhancements unless they bring similar significant
additional benefits.
Depreciation
To calculate depreciation on Fixed Assets, Tangible and
Intangible, in a manner that amortises the cost of the assets
after commissioning, over their estimated useful lives or,
where specified, lives based on the rates specified in
Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is
lower, by equal annual instalments. Leasehold properties
are amortised over the period of the lease.
To amortise capitalised software costs over a period of
five years.
Revaluation of Assets
As and when Fixed Assets are revalued, to adjust the
provision for depreciation on such revalued Fixed Assets,
where applicable, in order to make allowance for consequent
additional diminution in value on considerations of age,
condition and unexpired useful life of such Fixed Assets;
to transfer to Revaluation Reserve the difference between
the written up value of the Fixed Assets revalued and
depreciation adjustment and to charge Revaluation Reserve
Account with annual depreciation on that portion of the
value which is written up.
Impairment of Assets
To provide for impairment loss, if any, to the extent, the
carrying amount of assets exceed their recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is higher of an assets net selling price
and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of
estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end
of its useful life.
Impairment losses recognised in prior years are reversed
when there is an indication that the impairment losses
recognised no longer exist or have decreased. Such
reversals are recognised as an increase in carrying amounts
of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying
amounts that would have been determined (net of
amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognised in previous years.
Investments
To state Current Investments at lower of cost and fair value;
and Long Term Investments, including in Joint Ventures
and Associates, at cost. Where applicable, provision is
made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in
valuation of Long Term Investments.
Inventories
To state inventories including work-in-progress at lower of
cost and net realisable value. The cost is calculated on
weighted average method. Cost comprises expenditure
incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such
inventories to its location and includes, where applicable,
appropriate overheads based on normal level of activity.
Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories
are identified at the time of physical verification of
inventories and, where necessary, provision is made for
such inventories.
Revenue from sale of products and services
To recognise Revenue at the time of delivery of goods and
rendering of services net of trade discounts to customers
and Sales tax / Value added tax recovered from customers
but including excise duty on goods payable by the Company.
Net revenue is stated after deducting such excise duty.
Investment Income
To account for Income from Investments on an accrual
basis, inclusive of related tax deducted at source.
To account for Income from Dividends when the right to
receive such dividends is established.
31. Significant Accounting Policies
31. Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)
Proposed Dividend
To provide for Dividends (including income tax thereon) in
the books of account as proposed by the Directors, pending
approval at the Annual General Meeting.
Employee Benefits
To make regular monthly contributions to various Provident
Funds which are in the nature of defined contribution
schemes and such paid/ payable amounts are charged
against revenue. To administer such Funds through
duly constituted and approved independent trusts with
the exception of Provident Fund and Family Pension
contributions in respect of Unionised Staff which are
statutorily deposited with the Government.
To administer through duly constituted and approved
independent trusts, various Gratuity and Pension Funds
which are in the nature of defined benefit / contribution
schemes. To determine the liabilities towards such
schemes, as applicable, and towards employee leave
encashment by an independent actuarial valuation as per
the requirements of Accounting Standard 15 on Employee
Benefits. To determine actuarial gains or losses and to
recognise such gains or losses immediately in Statement
of Profit and Loss as income or expense.
To charge against revenue, actual disbursements
made, when due, under the Workers Vol untary
Retirement Scheme.
Lease Rentals
To charge Rentals in respect of leased premises and
equipment to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Research and Development
To write off all expenditure other than capital expenditure
on Research and Development in the year it is incurred.
Capital expenditure on Research and Development is
included under Tangible Assets.
Taxes on Income
To provide Current tax as the amount of tax payable in
respect of taxable income for the period, measured using
the applicable tax rates and tax laws.
To provide Deferred tax on timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income subject to
consideration of prudence, measured using the tax rates
and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially
enacted by the balance sheet date.
Not to recognise Deferred tax assets on unabsorbed

In respect of Surya Nepal Private Limited (SNPL), Excise, Income tax and VAT authorities issued Show Cause Notices
(SCNs) and raised demands to recover taxes for different years on theoretical production of cigarettes. The basis for all
these SCNs and demands is an untenable contention by the Revenue Authorities that SNPL could have produced more
cigarettes than it has actually produced in a given year, by applying an input-output ratio allegedly submitted by SNPL in
the year 1990-91 and that SNPL is liable to pay taxes on such cigarettes that could have been theoretically produced and
sold. This, despite the fact that SNPLs cigarette factory is under physical control of the Revenue Authorities and cigarettes
produced are duly accounted for and certified as such by the Revenue authorities.
The above basis of theoretical production has been rejected by the Supreme Court of Nepal vide its orders dated
29th October, 2009 and 1st April, 2010. In the said order of the Supreme Court of Nepal dated 1st April, 2010, the Excise
demands (for the financial years 1998-99 to 2002-03) and Income tax demands (for the financial year 2001-02) were set
aside. Citing the aforesaid decisions of the Supreme Court of Nepal, the Inland Revenue Department has, on 11th February,
2011 decided the following administrative review petitions in favour of SNPL relating to theoretical production:
(i) Value added tax ` 4.72 Crores [Nepalese Rupee (NRs.) 7.55 Crores] for the financial year 2001-02.
(ii) Income tax ` 3.07 Crores (NRs. 4.91 Crores) for the financial year 2005-06.
SNPLs counsel appearing in the matter has opined that the verdict of the Supreme Court of Nepal dated 29th October,
2009, which was delivered by a Full Bench of the Supreme Court of Nepal, will add substantial strength to SNPLs case
in all the other matters relating to the issue of theoretical production.

3. VAT demand letter dated 10th July, 2009 for ` 6.69 Crores (NRs. 10.70 Crores) relating to the financial years
2004-05 to 2006-07. SNPLs writ petition, challenging the demand, has been admitted by the Supreme Court of
Nepal on 9th August, 2009 and it has issued Show Cause Notices to the respondents.

SNPLs writ petition, challenging the demand, has been admitted by the Supreme Court of Nepal on 8th December,
2008 and it has issued Show Cause Notices to the respondents.
3. Income tax demand letter dated 16th October, 2009 for the financial year 2004-05. Out of a total demand of ` 1.41

on 17th June, 2010 and the matter is pending.
SNPL considers that all the demands and show cause notice listed above have no legal or factual basis. Accordingly, SNPL
is of the view that there is no liability that is likely to arise, particularly in the light of the decisions in its favour by the Honble
Supreme Court of Nepal and the Inland Revenue Department.

31. Significant Accounting Policies
IT IS GROUP CORPORATE POLICY
Convention
To prepare financial statements in accordance with
applicable Accounting Standards in India. A summary of
important accounting policies is set out below. The financial
statements have also been prepared in accordance with
relevant presentational requirements of the Companies
Act, 1956.
Basis of Accounting
To prepare financial statements in accordance with the
historical cost convention modified by revaluation of certain
Fixed Assets as and when undertaken.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or
non-current as per the Groups normal operating cycle and
other criteria set out in the revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956 based on the nature of products and
the time between the acquisition of assets for processing
and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.
Fixed Assets
To state Fixed Assets at cost of acquisition inclusive of
inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses
related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving
construction, related pre-operational expenses form part
of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised
also include applicable borrowing costs, if any.
To capitalise software where it is expected to provide future
enduring economic benefits. Capitalisation costs include
licence fees and costs of implementation/system integration
services. The costs are capitalised in the year in which the
relevant software is implemented for use.
To charge off as a revenue expenditure all upgradation /
enhancements unless they bring similar significant additional
benefits.
Depreciation
To calculate depreciation on Fixed Assets, Tangible and
Intangible, in a manner that amortises the cost of the assets
after commissioning, over their estimated useful lives or,
where specified, lives based on the rates specified in
Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is
lower, by equal annual instalments. Leasehold properties
are amortised over the period of the lease.
To amortise capitalised software costs over a period of five
years.
Revaluation of Assets
As and when Fixed Assets are revalued, to adjust the
provision for depreciation on such revalued Fixed Assets,
where applicable, in order to make allowance for consequent
additional diminution in value on considerations of age,
condition and unexpired useful life of such Fixed Assets;
to transfer to Revaluation Reserve the difference between
the written up value of the Fixed Assets revalued and
depreciation adjustment and to charge Revaluation Reserve
Account with annual depreciation on that portion of the
value which is written up.
Impairment of Assets
To provide for impairment loss, if any, to the extent, the
carrying amount of assets exceed their recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is higher of an assets net selling price
and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of
estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end
of its useful life.
Impairment losses recognised in prior years are reversed
when there is an indication that the impairment losses
recognised no longer exist or have decreased. Such
reversals are recognised as an increase in carrying amounts
of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying
amounts that would have been determined (net of
amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognised in previous years.
Investments
To state Current Investments at lower of cost and fair value;
and Long Term Investments, other than associates, at cost.
Where applicable, provision is made to recognise a decline,
other than temporary, in valuation of Long Term Investments.
To account for investments in associates using the equity
method.
Interests in Joint Ventures

(incorporated Joint Ventures) using proportionate
consolidation.
Goodwill on Consolidation

incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such
inventories to its location and includes, where applicable,
appropriate overheads based on normal level of activity.
Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are
identified at the time of physical verification of inventories
and, where necessary, provision is made for such
inventories.

To recognise Revenue at the time of delivery of goods and
rendering of services net of trade discounts to customers

1. We have audited the attached Consolidated Balance
Sheet of ITC Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group)
as at 31st March, 2012, and also the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss and the Consolidated
Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date,
both annexed thereto. The Consolidated Financial
Statements are the responsibility of ITC Limiteds
Management and have been prepared by the
management on the basis of separate financial
statements and other financial information regarding
components. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on
our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing
standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatements. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and the disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
3. We did not audit the financial statements of certain
subsidiaries and joint ventures, whose financial
statements reflect the Groups share of total assets of
` 1217.02 crores as at 31st March, 2012, and the
Groups share of total revenues of ` 1045.08 crores
for the year ended on that date, and net cash inflows
amounting to ` 123.65 crores for the year ended on
that date and associates whose financial statements
reflect the Groups share of profit upto 31st March,
2012 of ` 56.15 crores and the Groups share of profit
of ` 11.28 crores for the year ended on that date as
considered in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
These financial statements and other financial
information have been audited by other auditors whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in
so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect
of these subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates,
is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
4. We report that the Consolidated Financial Statements
have been prepared by ITC Limiteds Management in
accordance with the requirements of Accounting
Standard 21, Consolidated Financial Statements,
Accounting Standard 23, Accounting for Investments
in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements
and Accounting Standard 27, Financial Reporting of
Interests in Joint Ventures as notified under the
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.
5. Based on our audit and on consideration of the reports
of other auditors on separate financial statements and
on the other financial information of the components,
in our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the
Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair
view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India :
(a) in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet,
of the state of affai rs of the Group as at
31st March, 2012;
(b) in the case of the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss, of the profit for the year ended on that

by rural poverty. Accordingly,
lTC makes special efforts to not

The principles as enunciated
in the National voluntary
Guidelines fnd meaning
when viewed against the
developmental challenges
confronting lndia.
lt is estimated that over 400
million people live in multi-
dimensional poverty, surviving
on less than $1 a day.
With 17% of the global
population, lndia possesses
only 2.4% of land-mass, 4%
of water resources and 1% of
forest resources.
Reliable surveys show that
almost half of the total of 600
districts in the country face
severe water-stress. This will
aggravate the challenges of
food security by impacting
lndia's agricultural sector
(mostly rain fedj which provides
a tenuous sustenance to
over 58% of the country's
work force, already battling
issues like top soil erosion,
groundwater depletion, etc.
The challenge before business
and industry, therefore, is to
not only sustain proftable
enterprises as growth engines
for the economy but to
contribute meaningfully to
social equity.
lTC has responded to these
challenges by crafting
innovative business models that
align social sector investments
with its value chains that have
led to large scale livelihood
creation as well as natural
resource augmentation.
Protect|ng and
Restor|ng the
Env|ronment
lTC's approach to addressing
environmental challenges are
governed by its low carbon
growth strategy, integrated
water management strategy
and improving effciencies on
natural resource usage.
Increas|ng energy usage
efc|ency: Concerted
efforts by all lTC Units to
reduce energy consumption
through stringent audits and
benchmarking have yielded
positive results in most of the
Units. ln 2011-12, the total
energy consumed by lTC
stands at 21,130 TJ which is
6.3% lower than the energy
utilised during the previous
year (22,554 TJ in 2010-11*j,
inspite of signifcant growth in
production volumes in almost
all businesses.
The largest integrated
Paperboards and Paper
Unit at Bhadrachalam which
accounted for 71% of the total
energy consumed across lTC
in 2011-12 has achieved a
signifcant reduction of 12%
in energy consumed per tonne
of product over the last year,
which now stands at 33.21 GJ
per tonne of product.
Enhanced use of
renewab|e sources of energy:
ln line with lTC's commitment
to reduce dependence on
fossil fuel based energy, it
has progressively made major
investments in renewable
resources of energy.
ln addition to the 43.6 MW
wind power projects and a
90 TPH biomass fred Boiler
already in operation for over a
year, it has installed additional
13.8 MW wind energy units in
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
These investments and better
utilisation of biomass in the
Paperboards and Specialty
Papers Business ensured that
38.5% of the Company's total
energy requirements are from
renewable sources, which is a
remarkable achievement.

lTC's Social and Farm Forestry
lnitiatives added over 11,000
hectares of plantations during
2011-12. Total plantations,
as on March 31, 2012, now
cover over 125,000 hectares.
The Social and Farm Forestry
Programme has not only
contributed to a sustainable
source of raw material for the
Paperboards Business, but
has also helped sequester
additional 4,380 Kilotonnes
of CO
2
this year compared to
4,011 Kilotonnes last year, thus
consolidating lTC's status as
a 'Carbon Positive Company'
for the seventh year in a row.
The Social and Farm Forestry
Programme has also provided
56.2 million person days of
employment todate for small
and marginal farmers.
Enhanc|ng efc|ency
|n water usage: lTC has
undertaken several water
conservation initiatives
which include water audits,
benchmarking and adopting
best available technologies
to achieve lowest possible
specifc water consumption,
treating and recycling effuent
to achieve zero discharge in
several of our Units.
ln 2011-12, lTC Units drew
29.02 million Kilolitres of fresh
water, nearly 1.2% lower
than the previous year (29.36
million KL in 2010-11j. This
is a noteworthy achievement
considering the signifcant
increase in production volumes
in almost all businesses. A
large number of business
Units achieved substantial
reduction in specifc fresh water
intake (fresh water intake per
unit of productj. lTC's largest
integrated Paperboards and
Paper Unit at Bhadrachalam
achieved a reduction of
4.5% in specifc fresh water
intake which is a noteworthy
achievement. This Unit alone
accounts for 75% of total
freshwater intake in lTC.
Ra|nwater Harvest|ng: lTC
continued to create rainwater
harvesting structures both at
the Company premises and
through external watershed
development projects in
socially relevant areas.
As on March 31, 2012, the total
rainwater harvesting potential
created by the Company is over
two times the total net water
consumed by its operations.
lt is a matter of great pride that
lTC continues to be a Water
Positive Corporation for a
decade now.

of value chains. lt is therefore,
a conscious strategy to deliver
social development in the
context of its businesses
and by inclusive value chains
that encompass the most
disadvantaged sections of
society, especially those
residing in rural lndia. This
approach has led to an
enduring engagement with rural
communities with the creation
of sustainable livelihoods at the
heart of its strategy.

Deve|opment
Projects at ITC
lTC's business synergies enable
integration of effcient agri-
sourcing and provide market
drivers to build competitive
agri value chains that ensure
that a larger part of consumer
spends reaches the farmer.
For example, lTC's atta
brand, Aashirvaad provides
opportunities for identity
preserved procurement creating
a wheat agri value chain.
Farmers gain from the growing
market share of Aashirvaad due
to lTC's business synergies.
lTC has also gained from an
effcient supply chain and
identity preserved procurement,
which not only adds value to its
business but in the process has
also created an inclusive model
of business that empowers
small and marginal farmers
through the e-Choupal network.
A wood-fbre value chain
implemented by lTC's
Paperboards and Paper
Business has provided
56.2 million person days of
employment todate to poor
tribals and marginal farmers.
A conscious strategy to
promote clonal propagation
of fast growing and hardy
species through intensive R&D,
has today led to signifcant
wasteland development and
greening of over 125,000
hectares todate through the
Social and Farm Forestry
Programmes. These renewable
plantations, cultivated by tribals
and small farmers provide a
competitive source of wood
pulp to lTC's Paperboards
and Paper Business. Such
plantations enable lTC to offer
the greenest products in the
country such as Classmate
Farm to
Food Products
Va|ue Cha|n
Tree to Textbook
Va|ue Cha|n
notebooks and Paperkraft
business and copier paper. This
provides synergy and value
to farmers through a tree-to-
textbook agri value chain. ln
addition, the introduction of an
innovative agro-forestry model
has led to synergising tree
growing with crop production,
addressing issues of food and
wood security simultaneously
as well as the conservation of
precious natural resources.
The linkage of lTC's Women's
Empowerment Programme
to lTC's Agarbattis Business
with the brand Mangaldeep is
yet another unique example
of livelihood creation through
competitive value chains. Rural
women have been trained to roll
agarbattis which are sourced
by the Company's Agarbattis
Business, thereby empowering
women with a stable source
of income. Through lTC's
Women's Empowerment
Programme, nearly 40,000
women todate have been
gainfully employed either
through micro-enterprises or
assisted with loans to pursue
income generating activities.

Promoting sustainable
agricultural practices through
Soil and Moisture Conservation
Projects in acute moisture
stressed areas, lTC has
created large scale watershed
development projects covering
nearly 90,000 hectares
including through public-
private-people partnerships
in several States. ln situ
moisture conservation and
water harvesting protects crops
from seasonal uncertainties and
enhances farm productivity. lt
has a strong gender dimension
too since it reduces the
drudgery of women by reducing
their burden of carrying
water over long distances
signifcantly.

The Programme for genetic
improvements of cattle
through artifcial insemination
to produce high-yielding
crossbred progeny has been
given special emphasis
because it reaches out to
the most impoverished and
has the potential to enable
them to live with social and
economic dignity. 83 new
Cattle Development Centres
were established during the
year, taking the total to 293
centres, which have provided
8.07 lakh artifcial inseminations
todate. Taking the next step
in the development of a viable
livestock economy, Dairy
Development in Munger was
a major focus area this year.
Farmers from 60 villages were
mobilised for milk procurement
on 3 milk routes.
Over 19,000 new students
were covered through
Supplementary Learning
Centres and Anganwadis
this year. Of these, 952 frst
generation learners were
enrolled into formal schools for
the frst time in their lives. 919
youth were covered this year by
the skills development initiative
with the objective of expanding
an employable workforce.

period 1
st
April 2011 to 31
st
March 2012, based on relevant review at nine representative
business units of the Company and the corporate offce at Kolkata.
The Company has presented, in a fairly balanced, accurate, complete and transparent
manner, the information pertaining to EHS and social parameters on the GRl indicators
pertaining to material consumption, energy, water consumption and discharge, GHG
emissions, wastes, safety performance and social programmes.
The initiatives on carbon sequestration, waste recycling, creating rainwater harvesting
potential and creating sustainable livelihoods, demonstrate the Company's commitment
on these key sustainability issues. The Company has continued to maintain its carbon
positive, water positive and solid waste recycling positive status. The Company's carbon
positive status is based on improvements in specifc energy consumption, increasing share
of energy from renewable resources and sequestration of CO
2
emissions through social and
farm forestry initiatives. The water-positive status is based on reduction of specifc water
consumption and creation of the rainwater harvesting structures with an evaluated rainwater
harvesting potential. Solid waste recycling positive status of the Company is by recycling of
wastes generated out of their operations and external wastes used as raw material.
