Accounting Policies of Andhra Petrochemicals Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

1.1 Company overview

The Andhra Petrochemicals Limited (APL) is a leading manufacturer of Oxo Alcohols employing the state-
of-the-art technology "Selector-30" provided by M/s Davy Process Technology, London, United Kingdom.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh with an investment through Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development
Corporation Limited (APIDC) along with The Andhra Sugars Limited (ASL) promoted APL, under Joint
Sector Project and at present is under Assisted Sector Project.

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered
office at Venkatarayapuram P.O., Tanuku Mandal, West Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh. The Company
has its primary listings on the BSE Limited. The Company is having its manufacturing facilities at opposite
to Naval Dockyard, Naval Base P.O., Visakhapatnam.

The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors and
authorized for issue on May 24, 2025.

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

1.2.1 Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements prepared by the Company comply in all material aspects with the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) read with
Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and subsequent amendments thereto.

1.2.2 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention on accrual basis except for the
following -

• Certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values,

• Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost to be incurred to sell, and

• Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is
initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting
policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of
accounting policies, the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require
a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Application
of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments
and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed below. Accounting estimates
could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Appropriate changes in
estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.
Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and,
if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

The company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change
due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the company. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

1.3.1 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The
charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected
useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of
company''s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically,
including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well
as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

1.3.2 Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less
costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm''s
length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The
value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next
five years and do not include restructuring activities that the company is not yet committed to or significant
future investments that will enhance the asset''s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable
amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows
and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

1.3.3 Impairment of Financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected
loss rates. The company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the
impairment calculation based on the company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

1.3.4 Leases

The Company has taken the commercial properties under contractual agreements for its business operations.
Its accounting involves significant management judgement for identification, classification and measurement
of lease transactions at the time of lease commencement. The assessment of the lease liability and Right of
Use asset under lease arrangements are based on the assumptions and estimates of the discount rate, lease
term including judgement for exercise of options to extend or terminate the contract, dismantling and
restoration costs, escalation in rentals etc. Further, these will be continuously monitored at each reporting
period to reflect the changes in the agreements and management estimates.

1.3.5 Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to
determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the
level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

1.3.6 Employee benefits (gratuity and compensated absences)

The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the gratuity/compensated absences obligation
are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions
that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount
rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its
long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All
assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for
plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality
rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to
change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases
are based on expected future inflation rates.

1.3.7 Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques
including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible,
but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments
include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions
about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

1.3.8 Provision for decommissioning

The company has recognized a provision for decommissioning obligations associated with the leased
premises on which the plant is super structured. In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions
and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant
from the site and the expected timing of those costs.

1.3.9 Contingencies

Management judgment is required for estimating the possible inflow/ outflow of resources, if any, in
respect of contingencies/ claims/ litigations against the Company/ by the Company as it is not possible to
predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

1.4 Current versus Non-current classification

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:

• expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

• held primarily for the purpose of trading

• expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

• Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

• expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

• held primarily for the purpose of trading

• due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

• there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

Material Accounting Policies

1.5 Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognised as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised
goods or services (i. e an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains
control of that asset. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is determined based on the terms
of contract and entity''s customary practice. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise and duties,
but exclusive of Goods and Service tax (GST), which the company pays as principal and net of returns,
trade allowances, rebates, and taxes collected on behalf of the government.

1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment:

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at
historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes all costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use
and initial estimation of dismantling and site restoration costs. Subsequent costs relating to property,
plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced.
Expenditure during construction/erection period is included under Capital Work-in-Progress and allocated to
the respective fixed assets on completion of construction / erection.

Property, Plant and Equipment are componentized and are depreciated separately over their estimated
useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on buildings and plant and machinery is charged under straight line method and on the
remaining assets under the diminishing balance method. The residual values, useful lives and methods
of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate. In case of low value assets of Rs. 10000/- or less, depreciation is charged at
the rate of 100% in the year of purchase itself.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

1.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of the cost (net of eligible input tax credits) or net realisable value (except by¬
products, waste and scrap which are valued at estimated net realisable value).

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:

• Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.

• Finished goods and work in progress: Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity but excluding
borrowing costs. Cost is determined on monthly weighted average basis.

• Stores and spares: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.8 Non-Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

1.8.1 Initial Recognition-

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade
receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair
value through profit or loss, are added/ deducted to/from the fair value on initial recognition. Regular
way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

1.8.2 Subsequent measurement-

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

• Debt instruments at amortised cost

• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

• Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

(i) Debt instruments at amortised cost

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms
of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortisation of
EIR is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The impairment losses and gain/loss on
derecognition are recognised in the profit or loss.

(ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, if it
is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments under this category are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value movements
are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the company recognizes interest income,
impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit & loss. On derecognition,
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned
whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

(iii) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss
Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI,
is classified as at FVTPL (residual category).

In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost
or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates
a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ''accounting mismatch''). The company has not
designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

All equity instruments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value by the Company. Equity investments
which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides
to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The classification is made on initial recognition and is
irrecoverable.

Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the P&L.

(iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company has made an irrevocable election to present the subsequent fair value changes in ''other
comprehensive income'' for its investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading. Fair value
changes on the instrument, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognized
in the OCI. Dividends are recognised in the Profit &Loss. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to
Profit & Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss
within equity.

Financial liabilities are classified in two measurement categories:

• Financial liability measured at amortised cost

• Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities
held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit
or loss. The company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.

(ii) Financial liability measured at amortised cost

All other financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using effective interest rate
(EIR) method, thereby resulting in amortisation of transaction costs and interest expenses through
Profit & Loss over the life of the instrument. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the
statement of profit and loss.

1.8.3 Reclassification of financial assets-

The company reclassifies its financial assets only when there is a change in entity''s business model for managing
its financial assets.

1.8.4 Derecognition of financial instruments-

The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition
under Ind. AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

1.8.5 Impairment of financial assets-

The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of loss
allowance on the following:

a. Trade receivables

b. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables)

c. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal
to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

In case of other assets, the Company determines if there has been a significant increase in credit risk
of the financial asset since initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased
significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.
However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and
recognized as loss allowance.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance
with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls),
discounted at the original effective interest rate.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the head "Other expenses".

1.8.6 Offsetting of financial instruments-

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.8.7 Fair Value of Financial instruments-

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and
assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods
used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and
dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such
value may never actually be realized. For trade and other receivables maturing within one year from
the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.

1.9 Employee Benefits include:

(i) Short term employee benefits-

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised
in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit
obligations in the balance sheet.

The company recognises a liability and an expense for bonus only when it has a present legal or constructive
obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of obligation can be
made.

(ii) Long term employee benefits -

Liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to
the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using
the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the
related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of
when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Post employment benefits-

The company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity: and

(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident and pension funds.

Defined Benefit Plans -The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit
gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the
fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected
unit credit method. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive
income.

Defined Contribution Plans- The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered
provident funds as per local regulations. It has no further payment obligations once the contributions have
been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are
recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an
asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.10Leases

The company has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the
comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 17.

As a lessee

The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The
right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying
asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The
estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and
equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing
rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments.

• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or
rate as at the commencement date.

• Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise,
lease payments in an optional renewal period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an
extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably
certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in
the company''s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if company
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the
lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been
reduced to zero.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of
real estate properties that have a lease term of 12 months. The company recognises the lease payments
associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under Ind AS 17

In the comparative period, leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating
leases. Payments made under operating leases were recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the term of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general
inflation to compensate for the lessors expected inflationary cost increases.

1.11 Foreign Currency Transactions:

The functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee and the financial statements are presented in
Indian rupee rounded off to the nearest lakhs except where otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currency are initially accounted at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
transaction, and adjusted appropriately, with the difference in the rate of exchange arising on actual receipt /
payment during the year.

At each Balance Sheet date

i. Foreign currency denominated monetary items are translated into the relevant functional currency at
exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses resulting from such translations are included
in net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

ii. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items are reported using the exchange rate at which they
were initially recognized.

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in
statement of profit and loss.

The financial statements for the year ended March 31,2024 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May 25, 2024.

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

1.2.1 Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements prepared by the Company comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and subsequent amendments thereto.

1.2.2 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention on accrual basis except for the following

• Certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values,

• Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost to be incurred to sell, and

• Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

The company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

1.3.1 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of company’s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically,

including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

1.3.2 Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

1.3.3 Impairment of Financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation based on the company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

1.3.4 Leases

The Company has taken the commercial properties under contractual agreements for its business operations. Its accounting involves significant management judgement for identification, classification and measurement of lease transactions at the time of lease commencement. The assessment of the lease liability and Right of Use asset under lease arrangements are based on the assumptions and estimates of the discount rate, lease term including judgement for exercise of options to extend or terminate the contract, dismantling and restoration costs, escalation in rentals etc. Further, these will be continuously monitored at each reporting period to reflect the changes in the agreements and management estimates.

1.3.5 Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

1.3.6 Employee benefits (gratuity and compensated absences)

The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value of the gratuity/compensated absences obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

1.3.7 Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

1.3.8 Provision for decommissioning

The company has recognized a provision for decommissioning obligations associated with the leased premises on which the plant is super structured. In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant from the site and the expected timing of those costs.

1.3.9 Contingencies

Management judgment is required for estimating the possible inflow/ outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claims/ litigations against the Company/ by the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

1.4 Current versus Non-current classification

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

• expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

• held primarily for the purpose of trading

• expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

• Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

• expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

• held primarily for the purpose of trading

• due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

• there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

Material Accounting Policies

1.5 Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognised as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised goods or services (i. e an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is determined based on the terms of contract and entity’s customary practice. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise and duties, but exclusive of Goods and Service tax (GST), which the company pays as principal and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, and taxes collected on behalf of the government.

1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment:

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and initial estimation of dismantling and site restoration costs. Subsequent costs relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced.

Expenditure during construction/erection period is included under Capital Work-in-Progress and allocated to the respective fixed assets on completion of construction/erection.

Property, Plant and Equipment are componentized and are depreciated separately over their estimated useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on buildings and plant and machinery is charged under straight line method and on the remaining assets under the diminishing balance method. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. In case of low value assets of Rs. 10000/- or less, depreciation is charged at the rate of 100% in the year of purchase itself.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

1.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of the cost (net of eligible input tax credits) or net realisable value (except byproducts, waste and scrap which are valued at estimated net realisable value).

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:

• Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.

• Finished goods and work in progress: Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on monthly weighted average basis.

• Stores and spares: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.8 Non-Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

1.8.1 Initial Recognition-

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added/ deducted to/from the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

1.8.2 Subsequent measurement-

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

• Debt instruments at amortised cost

• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

• Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

(i) Debt instruments at amortised cost

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortisation of EIR is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The impairment losses and gain/loss on derecognition are recognised in the profit or loss.

(ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments under this category are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit & loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

(iii) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss

Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL (residual category).

In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

All equity instruments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value by the Company. Equity investments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrecoverable.

Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

(iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company has made an irrevocable election to present the subsequent fair value changes in ‘other comprehensive income’ for its investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading. Fair value changes on the instrument, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognized in the OCI. Dividends are recognised in the Profit &Loss. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Profit & Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Financial liabilities are classified in two measurement categories:

• Financial liability measured at amortised cost

• Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. The company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.

(ii) Financial liability measured at amortised cost

All other financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method, thereby resulting in amortisation of transaction costs and interest expenses through Profit & Loss over the life of the instrument. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

1.8.3 Reclassification of financial assets-

The company reclassifies its financial assets only when there is a change in entity’s business model for managing its financial assets.

1.8.4 Derecognition of financial instruments-

The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind. AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

1.8.5 Impairment of financial assets-

The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of loss allowance on the following:

a. Trade receivables

b. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables)

c. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

In case of other assets, the Company determines if there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial asset since initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the head “Other expenses”.

1.8.6 Offsetting of financial instruments-

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.8.7 Fair Value of Financialinstruments-

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. For trade and other receivables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

1.9 Employee Benefits include:

(i) Short term employee benefits-

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

The company recognises a liability and an expense for bonus only when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of obligation can be made.

(ii) Long term employee benefits -

Liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Post employment benefits-

The company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity: and

(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident and pension funds.

Defined Benefit Plans -The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Defined Contribution Plans- The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. It has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.10 Leases

The company has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 17.

As a lessee

The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments.

• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.

• Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of real estate properties that have a lease term of 12 months. The company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under Ind AS 17

In the comparative period, leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessors expected inflationary cost increases.

1.11 Foreign Currency Transactions:

The functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee and the financial statements are presented in Indian rupee rounded off to the nearest lakhs except where otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currency are initially accounted at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction, and adjusted appropriately, with the difference in the rate of exchange arising on actual receipt/ payment during the year.

At each Balance Sheet date

i. Foreign currency denominated monetary items are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

ii. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items are reported using the exchange rate at which they were initially recognized.

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in statement of profit and loss.

1.12 Provisions:

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which, in the likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

1.13 Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Equity investments and bank borrowings are excluded from cash equivalents. However, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

1.144 Impairment of assets:

The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.15 Income Taxes:

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income-tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Limited. The Company is having its manufacturing facilities at opposite to Naval Dockyard, Naval Base P.O., Visakhapatnam.

The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May 25, 2019.

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

1.2.1 Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements are the standalone financial statements prepared by the Company complying in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the provisions of the Companies Act , 2013 (Act) (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016, Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017, Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2018.

1.2.2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements -Standards issued but not yet effective

On 30 March 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2019. The key amendments to the Ind AS Rules are:

- Introduction of new standard Ind AS 116 “Leases” and it will replace the existing standard Ind AS 17 “Leases”

- Amendments to Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”

- Amendment to Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits”

- Amendment to Ind AS 23 “Borrowing Costs”

- Amendment to Ind AS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint ventures”

- Amendments to Ind AS 103 “Business Combinations”

- Amendments to Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”

- Amendment to Ind AS 111 “Joint Arrangements”

These amendment rules are effective from the reporting periods beginning on or after 1^st April, 2019.

Introduction of Ind AS 116:

Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases standard Ind AS 17 Leases. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lessee accounting model for lessees and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

a) Full retrospective - Retrospectively to each prior period presented applying Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

b) Modified retrospective - Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognized at the date of initial application. Under modified retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset either as

- Its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted at lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application (or)

- An amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease recognized under Ind AS 17 immediately before the date of initial application. Certain practical expedients are available under both the methods.

In accordance with the standard, the Company will elect not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

On preliminary assessment, for leases other than short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Company will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, the amounts of which are not presently determinable, with the cumulative effect of applying the standard by adjusting retained earnings.

Amendment to Ind AS 12:

The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in statement of profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. It is relevant to note that the amendment does not amend situations where the entity pays a tax on dividend which is effectively a portion of dividends paid to taxation authorities on behalf of shareholders. Such amount paid or payable to taxation authorities continues to be charged to equity as part of dividend, in accordance with Ind AS 12.

The amendment to Appendix C of Ind AS 12 specifies that the amendment is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. It clarifies the following:

A. The entity has to use judgement, to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered separately or whether some can be considered together. The decision should be based on the approach which provides better predictions of the resolution of the uncertainty

B. The entity is to assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all relevant information while examining any amount

C. Entity has to consider the probability of the relevant taxation authority accepting the tax treatment and the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates would depend upon the probability.

The company does not expect any significant impact of the amendment on its financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 19:

This amendment relates to effects of plan amendment, curtailment and settlement. When an entity determines the past service cost at the time of plan amendment or curtailment, it shall re-measure the amount of net defined benefit liability/asset using the current value of plan assets and current actuarial assumptions which should reflect the benefits offered under the plan and plan assets before and after the plan amendment, curtailment and settlement.

Amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling

The company does not expect any impact from this amendment.

Amendment to Ind AS 23:

The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings. The company does not expect any impact from this amendment.

Amendment to Ind AS 28:

The amendments clarify that an entity applies Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. The company does not currently have any long-term interests in associates and joint ventures and accordingly will not have any impact.

Amendment to Ind AS 103:

The amendments to Ind AS 103 relating to re-measurement clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it re-measures previously held interests in that business. The company does not expect any impact from this amendment. As the Company does not have any interests in other entities this amendment does not have any impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Amendment to Ind AS 109:

The amendments notified to Ind AS 109 pertain to classification of financial instruments with prepayment feature with negative compensation. Negative compensation arises where the terms of the contract of the financial instrument permits the holder to make repayment or permit the lender or issuer to put the instrument to the borrower for repayment before the maturity at an amount less than the unpaid amounts of principal and interest. Earlier, there was no guidance on classification of such instruments. According to the amendments, these types of instruments can be classified as measured at amortised cost, or measured at fair value through profit or loss, or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income by the lender or issuer if the respective conditions specified under Ind AS 109 are satisfied.

The company does not expect this amendment to have any impact on its financial statements Amendment to Ind AS 111:

The amendments to Ind AS 111 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not re-measure previously held interests in that business. The company does not expect any impact from this amendment.

The Company will adopt these amendments from their applicability date.

1.2.3 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention on accrual basis except for the following -

- Certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values,

- Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost to be incurred to sell, and

- Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 4. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Current versus Non-current classification

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

- expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

- held primarily for the purpose of trading

- expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is:

- expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

- held primarily for the purpose of trading

- due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

1.5 Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognised as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised goods or services (i.e., an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is determined based on the terms of contract and entity’s customary practice. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise and duties, but exclusive of Goods and Service tax (GST), which the company pays as principal and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, and taxes collected on behalf of the government.

1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment:

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and initial estimation of dismantling and site restoration costs. Subsequent costs relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced.

Expenditure during construction/erection period is included under Capital Work-in-Progress and allocated to the respective fixed assets on completion of construction/erection.

Property, Plant and Equipment are componentized and are depreciated separately over their estimated useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on buildings and plant and machinery is charged under straight line method and on the remaining assets under the diminishing balance method. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

1.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of the cost (net of eligible input tax credits) or net realisable value (except by-products, waste and scrap which are valued at estimated net realisable value).

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:

- Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.

- Finished goods and work in progress: Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on monthly weighted average basis.

- Stores and spares: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.8 Non Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

1.8.1 Initial Recognition-

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added/ deducted to/from the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

1.8.2 Subsequent measurement-

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

- Debt instruments at amortised cost

- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

(i) Debt instruments at amortised cost

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortisation of EIR is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The impairment losses and gain/loss on derecognition are recognised in the profit or loss.

(ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments under this category are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit & loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

(iii) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss

Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL (residual category).

In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

All equity instruments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value by the Company. Equity investments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrecoverable.

Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

(iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company has made an irrevocable election to present the subsequent fair value changes in ‘other comprehensive income’ for its investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading. Fair value changes on the instrument, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognized in the OCI. Dividends are recognised in the Profit &Loss. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Profit & Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Financial liabilities are classified in two measurement categories:

- Financial liability measured at amortised cost

- Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. The company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.

(ii) Financial liability measured at amortised cost

All other financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method, thereby resulting in amortisation of transaction costs and interest expenses through Profit & Loss over the life of the instrument. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

1.8.3 Reclassification of financial assets-

The company reclassifies its financial assets only when there is a change in entity’s business model for managing its financial assets.

1.8.4 Derecognition of financial instruments-

The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

1.8.5 Impairment of financial assets-

The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of loss allowance on the following:

a. Trade receivables

b. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables)

c. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

In case of other assets, the Company determines if there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial asset since initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the head ‘Other expenses’.

1.8.6 Offsetting of financial instruments-

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.8.7 Fair Value of Financial instruments-

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. For trade and other receivables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

1.9 Employee Benefits include:

(i) Short term employee benefits-

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

The company recognises a liability and an expense for bonus only when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of obligation can be made.

(ii) Long term employee benefits -

Liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Post employment benefits-

The company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity: and

(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident and pension funds.

Defined Benefit Plans - The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Defined Contribution Plans- The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. It has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.10 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

1.11 Non-Current Assets held for Sale:

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition.

1.12 Foreign Currency Transactions:

The functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee and the financial statements are presented in Indian rupee rounded off to the nearest lakhs except where otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currency are initially accounted at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction, and adjusted appropriately, with the difference in the rate of exchange arising on actual receipt/payment during the year.

At each Balance Sheet date

i. Foreign currency denominated monetary items are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

ii. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items are reported using the exchange rate at which they were initially recognized. Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in statement of profit and loss.

1.13 Provisions:

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which, in the likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

1.14 Cash flow statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Equity investments and bank borrowings are excluded from cash equivalents. However, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

1.15 Impairment of assets:

The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.16 Income Taxes:

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.17 Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects all dilutive potential equity shares.

The Company will adopt these amendments from their applicability date.

1.2.3 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention on accrual basis except for the following -i Certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, i Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost to be incurred to sell, and i Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 4. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Current versus Non-current classification

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset is treated as current when it is: i expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle i held primarily for the purpose of trading

i expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

i Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when it is: i expected to be settled in normal operating cycle i held primarily for the purpose of trading

i due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

i there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

1.5 Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise and duties, but exclusive of Goods and Service tax (GST), which the company pays as principal and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, and taxes collected on behalf of the government.

1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment:

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and initial estimation of dismantling and site restoration costs. Subsequent costs relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced.

Expenditure during construction/erection period is included under Capital Work-in-Progress and allocated to the respective fixed assets on completion of construction/erection.

Property, Plant and Equipment are componentized and are depreciated separately over their estimated useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on buildings and plant and machinery is charged under straight line method and on the remaining assets under the diminishing balance method. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on DE recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.

1.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of the cost (net of eligible input tax credits) or net realizable value (except by-products, waste and scrap which are valued at estimated net realizable value).

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:

i Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost is determined on first in, first out basis. i Finished goods and work in progress: Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on monthly weighted average basis. i Stores and spares: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on monthly weighted average basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.8 Non Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

1.8.1 Initial Recognition-

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added/ deducted to/from the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

1.8.2 Subsequent measurement-

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories: i Debt instruments at amortized cost

i Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) i Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) i Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

(i) Debt instruments at amortized cost

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortization of EIR is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The impairment losses and gain/loss on derecognition are recognized in the profit or loss.

(ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A debt instrument is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments under this category are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit & loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

(iii) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss

Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL (residual category).

In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ''accounting mismatch''). The company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

All equity instruments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value by the Company. Equity investments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrecoverable.

Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.

(iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company has made an irrevocable election to present the subsequent fair value changes in ''other comprehensive income'' for its investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading. Fair value changes on the instrument, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognized in the OCI. Dividends are recognized in the Profit &Loss. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Profit & Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Financial liabilities are classified in two measurement categories: i Financial liability measured at amortized cost i Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. The company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.

(ii) Financial liability measured at amortized cost

All other financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method, thereby resulting in amortization of transaction costs and interest expenses through Profit & Loss over the life of the instrument. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

1.8.3 Reclassification of financial assets-

The company reclassifies its financial assets only when there is a change in entity''s business model for managing its financial assets.

1.8.4 Derecognition of financial instruments-

The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind. AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

1.8.5 Impairment of financial assets-

The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of loss allowance on the following:

a. Trade receivables

b. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables)

c. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

In case of other assets, the Company determines if there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial asset since initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognized as loss allowance.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the head ''Other expenses''.

1.8.6 Offsetting of financial instruments-

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.8.7 Fair Value of Financial instruments-

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. For trade and other receivables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

1.9 Employee Benefits include:

(i) Short term employee benefits-

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

The company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonus only when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of obligation can be made.

(ii) Long term employee benefits -

Liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Post-employment benefits-

The company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity: and

(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident and pension funds.

Defined Benefit Plans - The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Defined Contribution Plans - The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. It has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.10 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation

to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases.

1.11 Non-Current Assets held for Sale:

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognized at the date of derecognition.

1.12 Foreign Currency Transactions:

The functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee and the financial statements are presented in Indian rupee rounded off to the nearest lakhs except where otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currency are initially accounted at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction, and adjusted appropriately, with the difference in the rate of exchange arising on actual receipt/payment during the year.

At each Balance Sheet date

i. Foreign currency denominated monetary items are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

ii. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items are reported using the exchange rate at which they were initially recognized. Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in statement of profit and loss.

1.13 Provisions:

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which, in the likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

1.14 Cash flow statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Equity investments and bank borrowings are excluded from cash equivalents. However, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

1.15 Impairment of assets:

The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.16 Income Taxes:

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.17 Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects all dilutive potential equity shares.

Terms/ rights attached to equity shares

Equity shares have a par value of INR 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts.

Nature of reserves:

a) Capital Reserve : Capital reserve represents incentives given by the FFIs for onetime settlement of the foreign currency loan.

b) Securities premium : Securities premium represents premium received on issue of shares. The reserve is utilized in accordance with the provisions of Companies Act, 2013.

c) General reserve : The general reserve is created by way of transfer of part of the profits before declaring dividend pursuant to the provisions of Companies Act, 1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.

d) Retained earnings : Retained earnings generally represents the undistributed profit/ amount of accumulated earnings of the company.

i. The Company has made an irrevocable election to present the subsequent fair value changes of investments in OCI. This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on the revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value including tax effects. The company transfers restated fair value amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant financial instruments are disposed.

ii. The actuarial gains and losses along with tax effects arising on defined benefit obligations have been recognized in OCI.

Defined Benefit Plans:

A. The company provides for gratuity to the employees as per Payment of Gratuity Act,1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity is payable on retirement/resignation. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the company makes contributions to recognized funds in India.

The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

B. The employees’ gratuity fund scheme managed by a Trust is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation for compensated absences is recognized in the same manner as gratuity.

Provision for decommissioning liability:

Decommissioning Liability: This provision has been created for estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site in respect of leased premises on which the plant is super structured. The lease agreement is for a period of 30 years which is valid up to 26th June, 2019. The company has an intention to extend the same for a further period of 30 years, i.e., up to 26th June, 2049.
