Joining me today for this earnings call is Mr. Sandeep Agrawal, our group CFO. We hope you all had a chance to go through the results update. The world, especially India, is going through a tough phase on account of second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, which has taken heavy toll on livelihood and also on lives.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our direct and indirect employees and all the stakeholders, including our customers, suppliers, investors and bankers for their continued support, especially during these pandemic times. I would now request Sandeep to take you through the financial highlights for the year. Over to you, Sandeep.
Sandeep Agrawal
executiveAn opportunity to look at the results update presentation as circulated and uploaded on our website. Now let me take you through the key financial highlights for the quarter and the year ended March 31, 2021. Our consolidated revenue from operations stood at INR 2,835 crores, it's almost up by 11% as compared to the previous year. On a stand-alone basis, the revenues from operation was about INR 1,843 crores, up by 6% as compared to previous year. Revenue from PTC projects grew by 10%, and O&M has grown higher than EPC, which is about 17% year-over-year. EBITDA for the year stood at INR 219 crores on a consolidated basis and INR 170 crores on a stand-alone basis. Our EBITDA margin, excluding ForEx gain/loss and divestment gain what we had last year, has largely remained intact on year-on-year basis. Profit after tax attributable to owners for the period stood at INR 110 crores on a consolidated basis, up by 21% and at INR 73 crores on stand-alone basis, up by 24% from the previous year, representing a profitable growth. For the quarter, our consolidated revenue was INR 1,000 crores, a 27% year-over-year growth and stand-alone revenue was INR 700 crores or 42% year-over-year growth. And it has been our endeavor, we returned to a net cash position of INR 44 crores in FY '21. Our gross debt has reduced by 33% from March '20 and our net interest cost by 48% on a consolidated basis on account of significant debt reduction. Our net working capital stood at 97 days. Debt reduction has been applying agenda of the management to improve the liquidity level of the group, and our efforts are showing the expected results. Continuing our focus on cash management, we continue to generate free cash and operational cash for the second consecutive year. During FY '21, we generated free cash of INR 96 crores on consolidated and INR 69 crores on a stand-alone basis and positive operational cash flow of INR 136 crores on consolidated basis and INR 105 crores on stand-alone basis. We thank our bankers, vendors, investors and other stakeholders for the continued support extended to us during the year and going forward. With this, we open the floor for question and answer.
Operator
operator[Operator Instructions] The first question is from the line of [ Sandeep Vera ] from [ Weinstein Competency ].
Unknown Analyst
analystCongratulations on strong set of numbers, sir. And also congratulations on bagging net cash position, and being rank fourth in the world in the private water operator. Sir, my questions are -- I've two questions. We have generated INR 136 crores of cash, that is correct, from the operation. But last year, it was INR 244 crores. So it is a muted cash flow from the operation this year. And sir, how do you see this receivable moving? Because if you take current noncurrent and the from one of the customers, which we know. So it is amounting to almost INR 2,900 crores, sir, INR 1,349 crores from the current receivable, INR 547 crores noncurrent receivable. And other assets, one receivable which is classified into other assets, it's almost probably maybe around INR 1,000 crores. So how do you see these receivables are moving going forward? And other question is since the input costs have gone up. So how do you see EBITDA moving further?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveOkay. First, thank you for your appreciation. We do appreciate that. Second thing about your receivable, I think if you would compare the same numbers, what you highlighted this year versus last year, you would see there is a net movement positive that we -- though our top line has gone up by almost 11%, but our receivables have come down by more than INR 100 crores. Rightly, you said under the different buckets, one, you are saying in the assets, other assets. These are -- being an EPC company, there's always some progress cost, which we cannot bill. It is not a bill receivable. We don't build that. And since this is not a receivable. It's just a progress cost which we have -- which we will collect in the coming months and quarters as we deal, we will collect that. The other part of our business is always a retention money. And this retention money you see in most of the contracts during the execution, client deducts about 5% to 10%. And when we complete the project and hand over, we get this retention money. And in some cases, a part of the retention money is even paid after the warranty or the defect liability period. So going forward, this will be the nature. Yes, some of the due receivables, which we have done well this year, and we expect to continue this momentum. And in this year also, our aim is to further bring down the collectible receivables, which is what we will do. And I think your third question...
Unknown Analyst
analystQuestion on increasing input cost and rising material cost and all that federal...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveDuring the pandemic time, basically, all the costs have gone up. I think you have seen yourself how does -- all the metal indexes. I think anybody can go to a London metal exchange and see how the metal prices over the last 8 months have gone up, whether it's steel, copper, alumina, everything has gone up. But most of our contracts also have an escalation clause and we get compensated, if not fully, a substantial part of our increase is compensated by this escalation formula. So going forward, if this continues, which we don't think so because we believe all the -- our factories are starting production. China exports are coming back. So we expect this escalation in cost will be now controlled and it will start moving down. But as I said, even if it remains high, we are covered, to a greater extent, by the escalation formula we have on our contracts.
Operator
operator[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from DAM Capital.
Mohit Kumar
analystCongratulations on a very good performance in a very, very tough year. So my first question is are you willing to give any guidance for FY '22? Or you are refraining from giving any guidance given the environment?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think the second part of your question is what we would go with because you know under this circumstances, when you don't know even next month, what is going to be. So there's no point in giving the guidance for the year. As soon as we see more stability in this environment, which has been very tough for the last 12 months or 15 months, I must say, we would definitely give a guidance. But one thing is we are very bullish. We definitely see the performance going up in the -- this year and going forward also. As I said in my speech, that our order backlog has been excellent. And there are good quality orders. Most of them are from multilateral agencies. And also the pipeline, which our boys have developed over the last 12 months, which will give results this year is also very solid. We have a good visibility that we can see good orders, both on the industrial side and international markets where we will increase our order book further.
Mohit Kumar
analystSo second question is, sir, of course, you just touch based upon the order. But can you elaborate on the order outlook and order finalization for FY '22? And do you think the situation improved further on the ground, and you can see a better momentum compared to FY '21. I think FY '21 was slightly very, very muted for us as far as order inflow was concerned.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think this -- we have mentioned in our calls earlier. Definitely, it was a strategy because we already have a good order. We don't want to load too much order in our order book, then we are open to delays. So we just took a little bit of break. And in the meantime, developed an excellent pipeline with good funding and a substantial part of that order, which are going to come this year, you will see international and industrial, where generally, the cash flows and margins are better.
Mohit Kumar
analystCan we expect an order inflow something like FY '20 levels?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveAs we said, we refrain, in this call at least, to give guidance. But I'm sure we are very bullish on our order intake this year.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of Priyankar Biswas from Nomura.
Priyankar Biswas
analystCongratulations, sir, for turning net cash after quite some gap. My first question is, at least on the current receivables on those fronts. So we have seen a substantial improvement this year. So in this regard only, do we see this working capital improvement as sustainable, like, let's say, over FY '22, '23? So like what are the measures that the company has specifically taken to do this. Because what I remember was, earlier, the receivables level seems to be a bit higher. So what are the measures you have taken? So what is the sustainability on that? And the last part of this question is, there would be certain equity investments, I believe, for our HAM projects from our share of the investments. So what is the SCF outlook on basis of that?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think the first question, if I may respond, on receivables, you have seen it, and I think the earlier participant also asked a similar question on my response. And you have also seen from the numbers we have been projecting in the last 2 years, there is a tremendous focus on cash management and receivables. And this is what has enabled us to bring down the debt, improve the operating cash, improve the free cash. We have done that. And there is no looking back on it. What the good work we have started, we have to make it even better. I think people are focused. We have put that as one of their KPAs that they have to collect cash, and each project has to be cash positive. We have to negotiate that payment terms and also go ahead collect cash on time. I think the boys have been doing a pretty good job over the last 2 years. And I assume this will become part of the DNA of the organization. And going forward, definitely, this is sustainable. Regarding your equity, as we have always told you, and we want to remind if we have new participants here, that we have always been an set-light company. And we want to continue this journey going forward as an asset-light company. Now because there were some opportunities, especially coming out from Namami Gange, where they introduced this model of HAM; being a leading company in the country and also globally, we didn't want to give up this opportunity first to clean some of our rivers, which we think is a social responsibility for a company like us, and second, also, there was a huge business opportunity, which was also available to us to clean the river. So we came up with a model where we have already closed 2 projects financially, where our equity contribution will be extremely low. And this kind of projects will definitely keep our position in the market very well. And also, we will invest extremely low equity. Now like you talk about this large [ good-to-go ] project, Angkor Wat and bigger. This project is almost about INR 1,200 crores. And our equity will be INR 7 crores to INR 10 crores. So you can see on a project of about INR 1,200 crores, where we are going to do EPC and O&M for 15 years, our equity is going to be 1% to 2%. Same thing with KMDA, where our equity will be INR 15 crores to INR 20 crores for a project of the size of about INR 400 crores. So all this, we have structured in a way that we don't invest a lot of equity. At the same time, we remain participant in this project and do our APC and O&M projects.
Priyankar Biswas
analystSo sir, that was quite a comprehensive answer, excluding the nuances. And if I may touch upon this, like I know you are not giving a sales revenue guidance as such. But it seems that this quarter, you had done, like, almost close to INR 10 billion. Last time, it was like INR 8 billion.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveCorrect.
Priyankar Biswas
analystAt least something of this sort of quarterly run rate can reasonably be maintained. Will we be wrong to perceive that? Or is it a right understanding?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYou have to -- you are very experienced. You have been following this company for many, many years now. So I don't think I can make any comments on your assumption. You just have to go by the past track record and see how good is our order book, how our execution is getting the traction, and you should make your judgment. And I'm sure your judgment will not be wrong.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of Jonas Bhutta from PhillipCapital.
Jonas Bhutta
analystCongratulations on improvement in the balance sheet, which was much awaited. Sir, a couple of questions. Firstly, sir, if we can get a breakup of INR 107 crores that you provided for bad debt in the year, as to how much of this is for the GENCO projects. Now if we were to look at a 3- or a 4-year period, sir, we've provided in excess of INR 300 crores in form of bad debt, which now sort of total up to almost 3.8% of sales. Now going into FY '22, do you believe that most of the cases that we were to take on either GENCO projects or the other projects is largely behind us, and the bad debt as a percentage of sales should now go back to the historical averages of about 1% to 1.5%. That's the first question, sir.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think you know, Jonas, you have been tracking this company for a long time, and you did mention about this. So I think our run rate is still in the range of 1.5% to 2% without GENCO. And we think this is sustainable for a company of this size with multiple geographies, what we have been doing over the decades. About 1.5% to 2% is a good number, what you mentioned. And I think as we go along, GENCO will become insignificant. So there's nothing more we need to provide on many years to come. Maybe still something more depending on the outcome of some of the legal issues we have. But other than that, I don't think you're wrong in saying that we were always in the range of 1.5% to 2%. I think we should get back to that range.
Jonas Bhutta
analystSo sir, out of the INR 427 crores of receivables that we have from the GENCOs, which are mentioned in the notes to account, how much of these have now been provided for, sir?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee what we are saying, and that is also we have given you a breakup. Clearly, these things are as the legal thing. And you know, for the last 1.5 years, there is nothing has moved at NCLT or in Supreme Court, where these cases are. And also at one of the execution sites where the site has been closed for last 1 year because of various issues related to COVID, which we expect that this week, we will restart as the state is coming out of the lockdown, and we should be able to start that. We expect also the Supreme Court and NCLT should start working within this week. And as soon as it works, I think we should be able to achieve that.
Jonas Bhutta
analystMy second question was, if I were to look at your receivable -- the reported receivables of INR 29 billion and take out this INR 400-odd crores on account of GENCO, we are still at about 325 days of receivables. Why that has come down? Because last 2 years, the average was about 375, 380, which is commendable. But where do you think that this should normalize because I'm sure you're not comfortable even with 325 days.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI explained, Jonas, to the earlier participant, I don't know whether you were there on the call that time. I think clearly, there are -- part of it is not even receivables. These are retention monies, which are maybe during the year or some of it over the next 1 or 2 years, they will become receivable as we complete the project and as we complete the warranty period, okay? So almost a bulk of it will get into that category, at least 1/3 of at least 30%, 35% of that is set retention. The other part is a progress cost, which is not even something is built and because we are progressing over the next few months or quarters, we will build and collect that. So our collectible receivables are maybe only 1/3 or 40% of it. And that's where we are completely on focus, and we have reduced that substantially, the collectible receivables, going forward in this year. Also, you will see, the collectable receivables will keep coming down.
Jonas Bhutta
analystSure. And last one, if I can squeeze in, sir. So the project cost or the order book for the Agra Ghaziabad project has gone up by about INR 300 crores in the fourth quarter. Can you elaborate on what is this relating to? Has there been an additional scope that got added? Or how should one look at it?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee, there are two things, Jonas. One, there is an escalation clause on this contract for 10 years. So each year, we will build more than what we build in the first year. And each year, we'll keep on building more and more and more. That's number one. Number two, yes, you are right. This is the first time in the country they are doing a one city, one operator, which we had earlier done in city of Istanbul in Turkey. So as we go along the plants, a lot of refurbishment and replacements have to be done. These are a set formula cost-plus basis, and they keep giving us that refurbishment and replacement of those plants, and we keep adding that. And that adds extra scope to our order book.
Jonas Bhutta
analystSo the annual revenue run rate from this project was expected to be about INR 75 crores, INR 80 crores. What is it now based on the...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no, no. Jonas, double up that, about INR 140 crores to INR 150 crores because it's INR 1,400 crores to INR 1,500 crores orders in 10...
Jonas Bhutta
analystOver a 10-year period, okay. Got it. So this additional INR 300 crores spread by 10 years, so another INR 30 crores sort of gets added, right, so INR 130?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. And we can also expect, as we go along, we will get many more scope chain orders, and it will -- closing value can be expected to be much higher than the present value.
Jonas Bhutta
analystSo this year, we have built INR 140 crores?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, close to it.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of [ Naman ] Jain an individual investor. The next question is from the line of [ Chuck Sebaski ] from [indiscernible].
Unknown Analyst
analystYes. I think most of my questions regarding this GENCO, now last August, you said that by December 2020, we should be able to collect something. But till date, I don't think I could get anything.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI don't think I need to answer. You know the answer yourself.
Unknown Analyst
analystYes, I know. But is there any chance like once the court opens and all, can you give some hope on this?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think we are fully convinced that as soon as the court opens, that we will definitely handle it. Don't worry. And we will...
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Okay, and then -- then...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveAnd in the next call, we'll be able to share some good news.
Unknown Analyst
analystAnd second is -- my first question, like, Chennai Desal project, JICA and municipality of Chennai that Desal project, no? That...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, yes. I understand. I think definitely, we'll be happy that your company, as the VA Tech Wabag, we are one of the 4 qualified bidders. The prequalification process is over. We are one of the 4 qualified bidders, and we are now expecting for RFP to come, which we hope now the elections are over. The RFP should come any moment, and we are very hopeful that we will be able to do well on that.
Unknown Analyst
analystYes. So do they declare the L1 contract term?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no. This is only, our RFP still not come. So we have not submitted our bid. It's only prequalifications are completed.
Unknown Analyst
analystPrequalifications. Okay.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveThis first phase process was just prequalification, then the technical bid evaluation. And finally, the price bid.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. So what sort of time you can keep it in your mind? Like, by...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveWe are thinking that it should get finalized in Q4 of this year.
Unknown Analyst
analystQ4. Okay. Okay. By the end of the year, financial year? February -- January, February?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveCorrect.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Okay. And congratulations on the performance of the company. We are improving day by day.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of Kaushik Poddar from KB Capital Market Pvt Ltd.
Kaushik Poddar
analystSee, this bank charge nearly forms around 1.8% of the turnover. With the improvement of your finances and the rating, do you expect this charge, as a percentage, to come down?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. I think -- is it -- 1.8% is the total charge or...
Kaushik Poddar
analystBanks free up -- I think INR 54 crore is the charge on a turnover of around INR 3,000 crores.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveThese are only bank charges or including the interest? So the bank charges, you're right.
Kaushik Poddar
analystYes, [ INR 67 crores].
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think if the 2 things -- very correctly, you have said. One is the rating of the company. Have seen rating has gone up during the last year. That definitely helps us to bring down the bank charges. But on the other side, the company's order book has gone up substantially, which also we have to give higher amounts of bank guarantees, both for performance and advances, which will also increase our bank charges. And this also has a lot of overseas contracts where we have double bank charges because the Indian bank gives it to a corresponding bank in that country. And that corresponding bank on that country gives it to ultimate customer. So if there are international jobs, the bank charges will be almost double of that of Indian contracts. So as we get more and more contracts and more international contracts, this number is expected to go up.
Kaushik Poddar
analystSo can you take it that it will earn 1.8% or it can come down as the turnover goes?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think around that should be okay. Because 1.8% of INR 2,800 crores, yes, it is about 1.8%. You're right. I think you should -- if you're doing modeling, it's a good number to stay with.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of Renjith Sivaram from ICICI Securities.
Renjith Sivaram
analystAm I audible now?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, much better.
Renjith Sivaram
analystYes. Sir, I just wanted to -- congrats on good set of numbers. Good to see the cash flows coming back. But when I analyze your cash flow, it's largely because of our increase in payables that we are still able to manage the positive cash flow. So it could be other current assets have been actually increased.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think, certainly, Renjith. You can see from the numbers we have given. The payables at last year was about INR 800-odd crores, okay? And then it is fixed [ INR 82 crores ].
Renjith Sivaram
analystSir, your cash flows, actually, the payables have resulted in this positive cash flow from that.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveOne minute, let me get the balance sheet.
Sandeep Agrawal
executiveRenjith, payables have come down. It has not gone up. Maybe if you look at the overall...
Renjith Sivaram
analystFrom the cash flow statement in that the -- if you look at the trade receivables has increased INR 78 crores. Other financial assets increased INR 57 crores. And other assets have increased INR 132 crores, while your payables have increased -- both your payables and other liabilities have increased, and that has resulted in this positive cash flow. I am just reading out your cash flow statement, as reported. So as I'm going to change course because of this other aspects, improvement that we are actually seeing the cash flow generation much more like you guided to INR 81 crores of cash flow mentioned last year. And this year, it is only INR 167 crores. So that's what this other asset...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveRenjith, I have the numbers in front of me now. I'm sure you also. Now if you see the noncurrent payables is at the same level for a higher turnover, higher sales, okay? It was INR 136 crores. Now it is INR 131 crores. So noncurrent payables have come down slightly from the last year, from INR 136 to INR 131. If you go to the current payables, if you take both for small enterprises and large enterprises put together, we are more or less flat. We were 161 -- INR 1,614 crores last year, and now we have INR 1,635 crores. So the payables have not gone up even our top line has gone up.
Renjith Sivaram
analystSir, I'm curious. In our cash statement that you have reported in the stock exchanges.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveBut we just look at the balance sheet. Now it's straight coming from the balance sheet under the current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities. That also, we put it to the stock exchange.
Renjith Sivaram
analystYes. Yes, sir. But then…
Rajiv Mittal
executiveBut that's reading from the balance sheet. If you want, I'll go to the cash flow statement also.
Renjith Sivaram
analystSir, because there is an increase of INR 132 crores in the other assets.
Sandeep Agrawal
executiveOther asset increased on the asset side you are talking about.
Renjith Sivaram
analystYou go to the cash flow statement, changes in working capital. There is a INR 132 crores increase in other assets. While your trade payables, there is an increase of INR 62 crores. And other liabilities, there is an increase of INR 43 crores. So these two have actually allowed us to show positive cash flows.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no, just hold on Renjith. Just hold on, I'm looking at the cash statement. If you want to look at cash statement, we'll do. But I thought the payables you are talking about, so I gave you straight from the balance sheet. If you want to go to the cash flow, either we can take offline or if you give us 30 seconds, I will give you the back-up of that INR 130-odd crores we are talking about. See, if you're talking about this INR 62-odd crores, which is payables, from the last time, the delta was INR 80, and this time it's INR 62 crores.
Renjith Sivaram
analystAnd if you go to the other assets last year, actually, been processing INR 156 crores. Compared to that, now it is negative 132 crore INR. That means that much of other assets have increased, which has actually impacted our cash flows.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no, don't worry. You want to take it offline? Or you want me to take the details and give you that.
Renjith Sivaram
analystNo, I'm fine. I'll do it offline. No problem. I just wanted to...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think I will tell Karan to call you. Because it's clearly what we are talking about, if you take into the payables, which is INR 62 crores, it's basically -- the ForEx element has almost 50% of that. There is a ForEx movement. That is the reason you are seeing that INR 62 crores. On INR 132 crores, also, I will give you a breakup. But coming to, very clearly, the payables have definitely come down. And the right place to see is our balance sheet where it shows that even for a higher top line, our payables are low.
Renjith Sivaram
analystOkay. And sir, if I look at the -- if I try to look at the last reported order book breakers and current, is there any reeling or is there any sort of that you have taken off or some readjustment in the order book, order intake?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. It's harder because these are all dynamic orders. Some of this are item rate orders. If some of the portion is not getting executed, we always adjust. As somebody was asking earlier, whether it has gone up for both movements you do. If it goes up, we add to it. And if it comes down, we reduce it.
Renjith Sivaram
analystSo there is no particular…
Rajiv Mittal
executiveThere is no cancellation, there is nothing. Not a single order is on hold.
Renjith Sivaram
analystOkay. And was there any large O&M order that we got last quarter?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI cannot tell you, but I don't remember of that, there is a large going-in order.
Renjith Sivaram
analystOkay. And lastly, sir, regarding our margins. For us, once, like, if you can, the order book, how much is fixed-price contracts and how much is variable price contracts so that we'll get some idea that this portion of the order book is safe and the other portion can be…
Rajiv Mittal
executiveOur orders have a variable price index because these are generally more than 2, 3 years, and we have always a variable price index, and these are all multilateral orders. But if you want specific orders, please get in touch with our team. I'll tell my team also. They will give you order by order.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of Harsh Shah from Dimensional Securities.
Harsh Shah
analystSir, when I look at your EBITDA margins on stand-alone and control basis, so I see that the -- that our subsidiaries are drag on the margins because for full year FY '21, our stand-alone margins are at 9.2%, while control are at 7.7%. So can you throw some light on that? I mean, why our subsidiaries not making margins that target our stand-alone operation?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveIt's not the right way to compare this because some of it, definitely, is the type of projects and the timing of the projects where you have this EBITDA. Some of the projects in India, maybe in the engineering phase, where we have a higher margin. And some of the projects abroad can be in the execution phase where the engineering hours are already consumed. But it's better, I think you also have to look at how the normalized EBITDA margins have worked, which we also showed you in our analyst presentation, which we have [indiscernible]. If you take the ForEx and the onetime divestment gain, our EBITDA margin for this year are definitely better, both on consol and stand alone, if you compare like-for-like, which I'm sure, over the next few days, you guys will do it. And if you need any help, we can also help you to come to that number.
Harsh Shah
analystFair enough. Fair enough. And sir, as you mentioned, if you look at our order book, almost 70% to 75% of this coming from the multiple. So I believe that it would be backed by either the government or the multilateral agencies. Sir, in that case, isn't 2% -- 1.5%, 2% of revenue, which you said is bad debt. And isn't this much on the higher side considering that we are operating -- they're working mainly with the government and the multilateral agencies?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. That, I think, perception is right, and that is exactly the reasons we are working with multilateral agencies. And also with central government-funded projects. There's no difficulty about it. And same thing to do abroad also. But this -- whatever is the bad debt, we are talking about 1.5% to 2%. It has happened in every project because these are the projects which are long duration sometime 3, 4 years. So there are always going to be some mismatch, what we believe we have built and it's due to be paid. During the certification, we get into a discussion with the client, and they do not certify 100% of our growth. So over a period of time, this discussion goes on. And towards the end, we settle for something where they agree to our claims to a certain extent. And some of this, we agree to them that they will not pay us. So this is the nature of the business. I think going forward also, these things have to be done. If there were other things, you can see some other companies will be providing much higher. But we have been always in that range. And going forward also, we'll remain in that range.
Harsh Shah
analystOkay. Okay. And just touching upon the cash flow statement. Once again, sorry for harping on the same line item, which is the increase in other assets. So because the delta itself is quite huge from positive INR 156 crores to negative INR 132 crores, it's almost a data of negative INR 285 crores. Now just for broader understanding, is this because of the year-end accounting? I mean, because the project got delayed by 3, 4 months because of the pandemic and we accounted for these projects late and because -- and that's why we are seeing the lumpiness in that amount? Because I believe when we say that it is the work which we've done, but we have not built -- our money gets blocked there, regardless of whether we have built or not. And that takes a hit on our cash flow. So I just want to understand the time lag between recognition of this amount and eventual receipt of the same.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee, I think in a construction contract, there's always going to be a time lag, like you buy stakes, you buy cement, you buy some pipe. You cannot convert everything into a building overnight. You will have to give some time to convert that steel, cement, all that into a structure. And you can only build when you reach certain milestone of that structure. So there will always be a time lag between when you pay to get the raw material and when you convert to a billable item. And that is the nature of the business. It will continue. And I think the earlier question, which Renjith, I'm sure he's online. He's getting -- my team has given. See, on that business supplier advances because of the increased activity of our execution. There's almost about INR 35 crores of supplier advances we have paid. And also, what suppliers have given us bills for GST, there is an input credit of almost about INR 60-odd crores where we have an input credit of INR 60-odd crores sitting as an asset for us, but we are not able to convert into a payable GST and take the advantage of a input credit because our billing is having a time lag. So about INR 60-odd crores is sitting as a GST input, INR 35 crores is sitting as advanced and there is this Gange STP, which we talked about, the KMDA/HAM project. We are going to be a minority shareholder. Temporarily, we have done some work of INR 40 crores and taken some advance. It is sitting in as a payable, okay? But next quarter onwards, the equity shareholder will put in equity, and he will be a majority shareholder. So this INR 40 crores will disappear from our balance sheet. So it is only a very temporary that this Gange STP, which is the KMDA/HAM project, is sitting in March. But when we go to the next quarter, it will disappear. When you see the September results, this will not be there. So this is a very temporary thing if you're just picking up the difference of this INR 132 crore. But as I've told Renjith, and I repeat, that if you see our payables are very much in control and lower, if you see that topline has grown by almost 11%.
Harsh Shah
analystOkay. Okay. And just to cut this discussion short. So then -- so we have already recognized these other assets, that is the work has already been done. And from here on, we will largely see underwinding of this amount, right, as we start receiving it from the relevant authorities?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveAbsolutely. I think as we build, we will be able to take the input credit of GST. As we do work, the advance we have given to our suppliers and contractors, we'll be able to liquidate because every article will just advance. Yes, going forward, this will come down.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of from Manish [indiscernible] [ Indian Capital Market].
Unknown Analyst
analystSir, congratulations on very good set of numbers. Sir, our margin trajectory as of now is 7.6%, 7.7%. Over, say, next few years, are we kind of aiming to achieve a margin trajectory of at least 2 digits in maybe, say, 2 to 3 years, absolute margins?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think we have said this in earlier calls also, that is what the team is working to. And I think we are very hopeful that going forward, this is the level the company should be.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. So is this achievable and fairly -- pragmatically achievable and fairly doable in next maybe 2 years?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, definitely. It is achievable, and you have seen also in this result, but even on our core EBITDA, we are already at, in short, 7.7%. If you take this other noncore business, it's up at 9.6%. So going forward, the water business is at that. And I think it definitely is achievable is my answer.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Sir, my second question is that our business is more tilted towards municipal side, right, and the industrial side is -- I mean, the contribution of the industrial side is low, right? So I'm also sure that we are kind of endeavoring to kind of scale on -- I mean, or to -- I mean, increase on our -- on the industrial side. But the problem, sir, with the municipal side is that there is a -- I mean, there is always a risk of kind of delayed -- delay in the posing payments, right, from municipal -- from the likes of municipal corporations, et cetera. So are we kind of, I mean, endeavoring to advance upon our industrial business?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee the first thing -- your second question first. See, as we have explained to you, even the more cyclical business, we don't take any business which are straight funded. You can see from our order book, they are miniscule. Most of it is either multilaterally funded or solidly guaranteed anyhow. I don't see there is any risk of payment not coming from municipal authorities, and that has been something we have decided, and that's how our order book is having a composition of mostly multilateral and central government-funded projects. Now coming to industrial versus municipal, we have been one of those companies in this sector who is very comfortable with industrial. In fact, the highest level of engineering and project management skills you need in industrial is in oil and gas. We are one of the top companies, not only in India, but globally, who is doing very well in oil and gas. Likes of who's who in oil and gas, we have done work. And you will see going forward also, we will pick up a lot of this work. So yes, our endeavor, even this year, if you see the revenue of industrial is almost 25% and municipal is 75%. Going forward, you will see these numbers further improving in years to come. And that's what the team is working to.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Perfect. Sir, so how are we placed against competition right now, from the likes of Ion Exchange, et cetera? I mean, if I may ask you?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYou're comparing with somebody or your general question?
Unknown Analyst
analystNo sir, I'm comparing with Ion Exchange versus VA Tech Wabag.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee generally, we are not into the same with Ion Exchange. Ion Exchange has always been traditionally into standard projects, into more point-of-use things, like 0 bacteria and standard projects. They just have gone into some of these large projects recently. But our endeavor has always been on large -- medium to large and complex projects. We don't do anything which are small, standard plants or point-of-use or manufacture of resins, chemicals. We are not into that business at all. So we are into major and mega projects, and that is where we will continue to be.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Sir, I was asking you this question with respect to this municipal and industrial. Just a couple of months ago, there was an observation where we actually saw and witnessed that there was some news of municipal corporation defaulting on the payment of INR 1,200 crores and straight away there was a kind of...
Rajiv Mittal
executiveThere is a dispute.
Unknown Analyst
analystYes. There was a dispute, right.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveThere is a -- we are dealing with it. And I think whether it's industrial or municipal, there's always going to be dispute, and there's a way to deal with it and resolve it. And that's the business we do. In a business of INR 3,000 crores, INR 11 crores dispute is normal for us.
Unknown Analyst
analystSir, I have a very, very close and a profound question now or attributed to which -- I mean -- Wabag, I mean to -- at least to my mind was a -- it makes a very, very compelling opportunity for Wabag to -- for players, I mean, for playing Wabag, sir, which is Nal Se Jal scheme, of government. I mean, sir, what are the prospects, fundamentals and the potential that we see? Sir, because 40% of -- 40% diseases in India is water-borne, right? And this government is working very, so very hard on Nal Se Jal theme, right? On Nal Se Jal regime, right? So how -- I mean how bullish are we on Nal Se Jal as an external opportunity for our business per se?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveIt's a good thing for the country. I think Prime Minister and present government is definitely doing a great job by providing to a semi-urban and rural areas Nal Se Jal. But as the name suggests, this is basically pipeline projects, construction projects. There is no technology involved in it. The treatment plants are much smaller. It's basically conveying the water. We are not a construction company to do this construction of canals or pipelines to do that. Where there is a treatment portion to it, definitely, we'll be part of it. I think government initiative on reuse and recycle, government's initiative on desalination. These are the areas where we can use our technologies, our patents, and we are one of the best in this business, and that's where we focus on. We play from our area of strength, which is technology, not construction.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. So Nal Se Jal per se doesn't bring there any excitement or any enthusiasm in the business per se, right?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no, enthusiasm is there. As a good citizen, we always like to see our…
Unknown Analyst
analystI'm asking specifically with respect to Wabag.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveWe have an opportunity, because Nal Se Jal is also that where is no source of water. The only source of water is desalination. And if they bring desalination plans to supply Nal Se Jal, yes, Wabag is very much there. But if they're just transporting some surface water, then Wabag is not there.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. Sir, I have a last question. Sir, promoter holding has been pretty low for a few years now. Sir, are we kind of -- going ahead, are we kind of contemplating and dwelling upon increasing our take, probably looking at accreting acquisition?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI don't know. Probably, we are not that rich to do that. We have been a management buyout. We are doing our good management job and acquisitions, upscale is not our priority. Yes, whatever -- we used to have our spare money, we used to add to that. But this, you will not see a substantial contribution from the management.
Operator
operator[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of [ Ohm Kahr ], an individual investor.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeAm I audible?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeSir, just wanted to ask earlier question -- a person has already asked this question regarding Chennai 400 MLD, a big project. Last time, you said the move over will be in quarter 1. The final outcome will come. But now you are saying it will take another 6 to 9 months to come a final outcome for Chennai 400 MLD project?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYou know that in February, the code of conduct came on the elections in Tamil Nadu. And nothing happens during code of conduct. The results came and the new government is thus taking charge. That's where I think we lost a good 6 months.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeOkay. So because of that, there is an [ debilitating ] delay?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, yes.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeOkay. So as you said, it will take another couple of quarters minimum to take a final outcome, right?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveBecause we are to get the RFP, and then it takes about 4 to 6 months to submit an offer and evaluate the offer. And being a multilaterally funded project, it also takes their own process of at least 2 to 3 months to recommend for award.
Operator
operator[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Pradip Chatterjee, retail investor.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeSir, I just wanted to ask you, like, when can we expect the company to give dividends?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI think definitely, you have seen that we have been continuously dividend-paying company from the start of our -- after listing of our IPO. Largely, with the investment in the HAM project. So we are trying to increase our business and also participate in the HAM project where equity is required. So that's the only reason. Once we are over with it, I'm sure we will start again.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of [ Aravind Joshi ] from [ Atelier Advisors ].
Unknown Analyst
analystYes. I just wanted to get some general granularity on the landscape that we are targeting in the industrial area, the kind of sectors we are looking at kind of pipelines we see that. And would our cycle-ism of about 25% to 30% conversion of the pipeline stay in the industrial sector too? Or we could do a little better than that?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveDefinitely, I think, [ Aravind ], we will do better because of our industrial track record has been good. As I said, our competition also on industrial is less. Our take rate has always been good. So we are expecting good orders this year on the industrial side, and this will also increase our order book on the industrial side.
Unknown Analyst
analystWhat could be the rough addressable opportunity that you see over the next 2 years broadly?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. It's been very tricky. Because of pandemic, everybody has been postponing their investments, as you have also seen. So at the present time, what we have, a good visible pipeline, we see a good opportunity to convert that orders in next 2 to 3 quarters.
Unknown Analyst
analystAnd that opportunity would be roughly, what, at a few thousand crores? INR 2,000 crores, INR 3,000 crores certainly in…
Rajiv Mittal
executiveDefinitely, that's order of magnitude.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay. And does our industrial bouquet include the sugar industry, which would now be spending a lot of money because they are putting in more pressure and more effluent-controlled capacities in the whole expansion schemes that are coming up because of terminal policies? So are we involved in sugar industries already? Or that's too small for us to play in?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveExactly. That's too small and too risky to go in there because there's always a payment risk, depending on the seasonality of the sugar. So we don't play in that field.
Unknown Analyst
analystSo it's largely steel and refineries are in there?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSteel, refinery, fertilizers, this is the area where there's large infrastructure spending.
Operator
operator[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of [ Karthik Agrawal ] from SMS Holdings.
Unknown Analyst
analystI just wanted to ask you that like the order book, which we generate, is it primarily through competitive bidding? Or how does that take place?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveMost of it predominantly is competitive bidding because these are large government orders. There's very, very little portion of it can be negotiated or variation orders. The bulk of it comes through competitive bidding.
Unknown Analyst
analystOkay, sir. And as you just mentioned that the company has been rising through the ranks consistently, and we are now the fourth ranked company in the world. So does that also help us while bidding in terms of margins, et cetera, as we gain more credence in the industry? Or how does that take place?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveIt definitely helps to build an image of the brand, which also helps in clients shortlisting us for bidding and also inviting us for bidding. And that also helps us to find good partners -- good financial and technical partners. And you see that we were the first company for HAM projects where in water sector, IFC Washington has partnered us and agreed to fund the debt portion of it. So these are definitely things which help us to take a mileage of that.
Operator
operatorOur next question is from the line of Renjith Sivaram from ICICI Securities.
Renjith Sivaram
analystJust, sir, one last clarification. Just -- there is a INR 348 crores order intake in OE&M. So what's in it? A large order? Or is that something which we have 1 -- 1 big order? Or is it an addition of some smaller orders?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSee, as earlier, somebody said, a part of it has come from one city one order as a variation order. And as also an escalation order from One City, One Operator. This is what has come. You're talking about the INR 348 number?
Renjith Sivaram
analystYes, yes, yes.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveSo that is -- the bulk of it is One City, One Operator, where one of the earlier participant has also asked us how this value had gone up because we got a variation order on One City, One Operator and also the escalation income. And then the others are balanced, smaller orders, Renjith.
Renjith Sivaram
analystOkay. And anything else from Namami we'll be spending on? Is all the ordering for Namami Gange is complete?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveNo, no. We are -- at the moment, as we talk, we are bidding for two more new projects. And we see more projects of Namami Gange coming. As you know, it's not only about Ganges or Gange. They have extended the same scheme for other rivers in the country. So this theme will continue for decades to come.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of [indiscernible] individual investor.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeJust two small questions. One, have been holding your shares for the last, like, 4 years now. And unlike the deep contrast COVID has caused the order in which it shows up.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYour voice is breaking. Are you on mobile?
Unknown Attendee
attendeeYes. Is this better?
Rajiv Mittal
executivePlease try again.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeYes. I was saying that I've been holding your shares for the last 4 years, and I've been in most quarterly updates, presentations. There is a contract from Libya under the framework contracts, and that's of a significant amount, a few thousand crores, and it doesn't seem to move from framework to the actual order book. And given the amount of geopolitical issues in that region with constant civil war and warfare, do we anticipate that ever becoming a fulfilled order book? Kind of go from the framework to an actual order?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, definitely. Otherwise, we'll never keep it. If management doesn't believe we don't put anything in our presentation.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeBut it's remained there for…
Rajiv Mittal
executiveGo ahead, please.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeIt just remained there for the last 2, 3 years.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveI know. I will answer that. I will answer that. I will answer you that question. See, we are the largest water sector player in Libya. We have been through good and difficult times. And even as we speak now, we are executing about a couple of orders in the country. We work with a two-pronged strategy, where all our engineering and ordering is done from our office in Vienna in Austria, whereas the local work is done by our workforce, which is based in Tripoli. We have a local workforce in Tripoli, they take care of that order. So we have definitely a lot of this thing, which is going on. And we are executing successfully, whether it's a desalination plant, whether it's a municipal order, whether it's water treatment plant for a power plant. So this order you have seen and you have very rightly said, this order is signed by us. This contract is registered. We have paid a stamp duty to the government. Now because of this, whatever geopolitical things you said, this has gone behind in their order of priority because their priority is to provide safe drinking water and also their priority is to provide power. So we are seeing more traction in the power and desalination. The municipal part is taking a little backseat. But this order is very much there. It's only a matter of time. Anybody else could have taken it directly into order book, but we have a policy, till plant opens an LC, then can execute this order and draw our money, we will leave it into the framework and will not start working on it. And that's the reason it sits in the framework for the last few years and we still hope that maybe another year, it will go, and then it will get things done to get funding, and they will open the LC. But you see another order in the framework, which is Bomba, MAD. That is desalination. That's drinking water. This will be an LC, which will open much before this SPP order. And that's exactly what we are executing even now in total, where we are executing a desalination plant because that is -- they need a drinking water. And that order is under execution, maybe end of this year, we'll complete that order, and this order will get started. And we hope to get very soon in next 1 or 2 quarters, this Bomba LC and start execution of the desalination plant.
Unknown Attendee
attendeeGot it. I think that's very helpful. And one small additional question was regarding competitive intensity. Have you seen that ratchet up specifically from L&T? Because in their earnings calls, they've been talking about the water division as one where they have a lot of management focus on and they've been winning orders?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes, why not. When the sector is attractive, everybody gets attracted to the sector. And obviously, for them also, I'm sure it will be a focus area. But our focus remains, as I explained to somebody like, just Nal Se Jal we don't get into the construction part, which is their the strength is. So we get into more technology part where we don't need a partner or a technology provider to give us the technology. We have all this in-house technologies. So we focus on technology projects where we'd like to get our share of business from those projects, and let's focus on construction-oriented projects.
Operator
operatorThe next question is from the line of from Manish Maheshwari from AUM Capital Markets Private Limited.
Unknown Analyst
analystSir, going ahead, are we looking at any small -- I mean, any kind of acquisitions? Because a lot of disruptives -- I mean a lot of disruptive early to mid-stage companies are there doing some commendable work in the water space. So are we eyeing any acquisition, per se?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. Since IPO, now more than 10 years, we have been saying that we want to grow this business more organically. Inorganically, we don't focus on it. But yes, as you said, about disruptive technology where we are moving into digital and other areas, if we find some smaller outfits, they have some technology, which fits into our technology portfolio, why not? We'll look at it. But there's nothing which we are missing, which we are going after. But if we come across something important, definitely, we will do that.
Unknown Analyst
analystSo sir, I have been tracking your company for last -- for a couple of years now. So in case if I spot any attractive opportunity, can I personally reach out to you?
Rajiv Mittal
executiveYes. Yes, definitely, you can let me or my team know. We will definitely have a look at it.
Unknown Analyst
analystSir, I, actually, am infatuated to go around. So I'll keep you in the loop.
Rajiv Mittal
executiveOkay.
