xii. Provisions and contingent liabilities
i) Provision:
A provision is recorded when the Company has a present or constructive obligation as a result of present
obligation, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount
can be reasonably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value
is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expenses.
ii) Contingent liabilities:
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either
not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot
be made, is termed as a contingent liability.
xiii. Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the conditions attached to it.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current
liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives
of the related assets and presented under other income.
Grants related to income are recognised in statement of profit or loss by deducting it from the related expense.
xiv. Earnings Per Share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose
of calculating diluted earnings per share, profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of the equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of
all dilutive potential equity shares.
xv. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker.
xvi. Cash and Cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject
to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings
in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
xvii. Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
xviii. Trade payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of
financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the agreed terms.
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after
the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method.
xix. Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakh as per
the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
xx. Recent accounting announcements
There is no such notification applicable from April 1,2025.
Nature and purpose of other reserves
(i) Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) General reserve
This reserve is used to record the transfers made from the retained earnings and was made on account of the
requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 for payment of dividends.
(iii) Retained Earnings
This reserve represents the cumulative profits of the Company and effects of the remeasurement of defined
benefit obligations. This Reserve can be utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) Post-employment obligations - gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the 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 payable on
retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days
salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes
contributions to the recognised funds in India.
(vii) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, The company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are
detailed below:
Investment risks:
The present value of the defined benefit plan obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by
reference to Government of India bond rate. If the return on plan asset is lower than this rate, then it will create
a plan deficit.
Interest risks:
A decrease in bond rate will increase the plan liability although this will be partially offset by an increase in the
value of the plans bond holdings.
Longevity risks (Life expectancy):
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy
of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Salary risks
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity
instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including
bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual
funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds,
over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market
data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included
in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included
in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year. The company''s policy is to recognise transfers into and
transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The company''s risk management is carried out by the treasury team under policies approved by the board of directors.
The treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the company''s operating units.
The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as
foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial
instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and credit exposures to customers
including outstanding receivables with dealers and advances given to vendors.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed on a wholistic basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions
are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on external credit rating
system. The finance department under the guidance of the board, assess the credit rating system. Credit rating
is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The company assigns the
following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to
the class of financial assets.
VL 1 : High-quality assets, negligible credit risk
VL 2 : Quality assets, low credit risk
VL 3 : Standard assets, moderate credit risk
VL 4 : Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk
VL 5 : Low quality assets, very high credit risk
VL 6 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there
is a significant increase in credit risk The company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the
reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and
supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are included -
- Internal credit rating assessment
- External credit rating (as far as available)
- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected
to cause a significant change to the borrower''s ability to meet its obligations
- Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated
as part of the internal rating model.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are
more than 30 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when
they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity
operates and other macro-economic factors.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions during the year.
Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s
functional currency (INR).
a) Foreign currency exposure
The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the current and previous reporting period is Nil.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to
cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate
risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because
of a change in market interest rates.
The Company has not taken any interest rate swaps to convert the floating rate borrowings to fixed rate loans. The
Company monitors the movement in the interest rates and uses the prepayment option to repay the borrowings
at the time when the interest rates are unfavorable. The assessment of viability of using the pre-payment option
shall be evaluated by the finance team.
Note - 33 : Capital management
(a) Risk management
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital attributable to the holding company.
The company''s objectives when managing capital are to;
⢠Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders
and benefits for other stakeholders, and
⢠Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, The company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, The company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total ''equity'' (as shown in the balance sheet).
(e) Joint ventures in which the company is a joint venturer
The Company does not have any joint venture.
(f) Key management personnel(KMP) of the reporting company and holding of the reporting company.

p) Provisions and contingent liabilities
i) Provision:
A provision is recorded when the Company has a present or constructive obligation as a result of present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expenses.
ii) Contingent liabilities:
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is termed as a contingent liability.
q) Leases
The Company as a lessee
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
r) Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the conditions attached to it.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented under other income.
Grants related to income are recognised in statement of profit or loss by deducting it from the related expense.
s) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
t) Cash and Cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
u) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
v) Trade payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the agreed terms. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
w) Investments and Other financial assets
i) Classification:
The Company classifies its financial assets as those subsequently measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flow.
ii) Measurement Amortised Cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
iii) Impairment of financial assets:
The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been significant increase in credit risk. Note 33 details how the company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
iv) Investment in Subsidiaries:
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment loss, if any.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
v) Derecognition of financial assets:
A financial asset is de-recognised only when:
a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
b) The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is de-recognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized, if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
x) Current and Non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
Cash or cash equivalent is treated as current, unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. In respect of other assets, it is treated as current when it is:
⢠expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
⢠held primarily for the purpose of trading
⢠expected to be realized within 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 the normal operating cycle
⢠it is held primarily for the purpose of trading
⢠it is 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 realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
y) Recent accounting announcements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:
Ind AS 1 â Presentation of Financial Statements -This amendment requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.

The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 8 â Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors -This amendment has introduced a definition of ''accounting estimates'' and included amendments to Ind AS8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 12 â Income Taxes-This amendment has narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April1, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its standalone financial statements.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables with dealers and advances given to vendors.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed on a wholistic basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/ institutions are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on external credit rating system. The finance department under the guidance of the board, assess the credit rating system. Credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
VL 1 : High-quality assets, negligible credit risk
VL 2 : Quality assets, low credit risk
VL 3 : Standard assets, moderate credit risk
VL 4 : Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk
VL 5 : Low quality assets, very high credit risk
VL 6 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are included -
- Internal credit rating assessment.
- External credit rating (as far as available).
- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower''s ability to meet its obligations.
- Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 30 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

Nature and purpose of other reserves
(i) General reserve
This reserve is used to record the transfers made from the retained earnings and was made on account of the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956 for payment of dividends.
(ii) Debenture redemption reserve
The Company has created debenture redemption reserve out of the profits which is available for payment of dividend, for the purpose of redemption of debentures.
(iii) Securities premium
Securities premium reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
The borrowings are secured as follows;
a) 10% Non-convertible debentures are secured under hypothecation by way of first pari-passu charge on movable fixed assets of the Company and Corporate guarantee issued by Chettinad Cement Corporation Private Limited (The Holding Company).
The carrying amount of financial and non-financial assets pledged as security for current and non-current borrowings are disclosed in Note 40.
(i) Compensated absences
The compensated absences obligations cover the Companyâs liability for the earned leave. The provision is presented as current and non-current based on the actuarial report obtained by the Company. However, based on past experience the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.
(ii) Post-employment obligations - Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the 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 payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to the recognised funds in India.
(iii) Defined contribution plans
The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to the provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to the registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligations. The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is INR 86.96 Lakhs (March 31, 2017 - INR 73.81 Lakhs).
Assumptions regarding future mortality for pension and medical benefits are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics and experience. These assumptions translate into an average life expectancy in years for an employee retiring at age 58.
(v) Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
(vi) The major categories of plans assets are as follows:
The Company has plan assets by way of investments funds in Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under the group gratuity scheme. The fair value of the plan assets
(vii) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, The company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risks:
The present value of the defined benefit plan obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to Government of India bond rate. If the return on plan asset is lower than this rate, then it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risks:
A decrease in bond rate will increase the plan liability although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans bond holdings.
Longevity risks (Life expectancy):
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Salary risks
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
The borrowings are secured as follows;
a) Bank Overdraft is secured under hypothecation by way of first pari-passu charge on current assets of the Company .
b) The carrying amount of financial and non-financial assets pledged as security for current and non-current borrowings are disclosed in Note 40.
Effective from 1st July 2017, sales are recorded net of GST whereas earlier sales were recorded gross of excise duty which formed part of expenses. Hence, revenue from operations for the year ended 31st March 2018 is not comparable with previous year figures.
(i) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year. The companyâs policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values for security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy since significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable. Since there are no changes in the borrowing rate contracted with the bank, thus the fair value is equal to the amortised cost.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
(iii) Reconciliation of loss allowance provision- Loans and deposits
There are no loss allowance provision created for the loans and deposits.
(B) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The funding sources of the Company include short-term working capital loans from banks and related parties. Long term borrowings are primarily in the form of non-convertible debentures and term loans from banks.
(i) Financing arrangements
The company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice. Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time in INR and have an average maturity of â5 â years.
(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the companyâs financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for non-derivative liabilities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities:
(C) Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions with respect to US $ and EUR on account of purchase of capital goods. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (INR). Since there are only insignificant foreign currency transactions, there are no high risks foreseen by the Company on account of foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company has not taken forward contracts, options, futures or any other derivative instruments to manage the foreign currency risk. The strategy followed by the Company is tracking the foreign currency exchange rates and settlement of the payables at the time when the exchange rates are favorable.
Note - 1 : Financial risk management
All amounts in INR Lakhs unless otherwise stated
The companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk.
The companyâs risk management is carried out by the treasury team under policies approved by the board of directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the companyâs operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables with dealers and advances given to vendors.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed on a wholistic basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.

VL 3 : Standard assets, moderate credit risk
VL 4 : Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk
VL 5 : Low quality assets, very high credit risk
VL 6 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk The company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition.

- Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 30 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Companyâs main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The Company has not taken any interest rate swaps to convert the floating rate borrowings to fixed rate loans. The Company monitors the movement in the interest rates and uses the prepayment option to repay the borrowings at the time when the interest rates are unfavorable. The assessment of viability of using the pre-payment option shall be evaluated by the finance team.
Note - 2 : Capital management
(a) Risk management
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital attributable to the parent Company. The companyâs objectives when managing capital are to;

Consistent with others in the industry, The company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total âequityâ (as shown in the balance sheet).
(i) Loan covenants
In order to achieve this overall objective, the companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

(i) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price.

There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year. The Company''s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values for security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy since significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable. Since there are no changes in the borrowing rate contracted with the bank, thus the fair value is equal to the amortized cost.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Note 1 : Financial Risk Management
All amounts in INR Lakhs unless otherwise stated
The Company''s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk.
The Company''s risk management is carried out by the treasury team under policies approved by the board of directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company''s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables with dealers and advances given to vendors.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed on a holistic basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on external credit rating system. The finance department under the guidance of the board, assess the credit rating system. Credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
VL 1 : High-quality assets, negligible credit risk
VL 2 : Quality assets, low credit risk
VL 3 : Standard assets, moderate credit risk
VL 4 : Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk
VL 5 : Low quality assets, very high credit risk
VL 6 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk The Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are included -
- Internal credit rating assessment
- External credit rating (as far as available)
- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower''s ability to meet its obligations
- Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 30 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
(B) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The funding sources of the Company include short-term working capital loans from banks and related parties. Long term borrowings are primarily in the form of non-convertible debentures and term loans from banks.
(i) Financing arrangements
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice. Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time in INR and have an average maturity of ''5 '' years.
(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyze the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for non-derivative liabilities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities:
(C) Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions with respect to US $ and EUR on account of purchase of capital goods. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognized liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (INR). Since then there are only insignificant foreign currency transactions, there are no high risks foreseen by the Company on account of foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company has not taken forward contracts, options, futures or any other derivative instruments to manage the foreign currency risk. The strategy followed by the Company is tracking the foreign currency exchange rates and settlement of the payables at the time when the exchange rates are favorable.
* Holding all other variables constant
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The Company has not taken any interest rate swaps to convert the floating rate borrowings to fixed rate loans. The Company monitors the movement in the interest rates and uses the prepayment option to repay the borrowings at the time when the interest rates are unfavorable. The assessment of viability of using the pre-payment option shall be evaluated by the finance team.
- Holding all other variables constant
Note - 2. : Capital Management
(a) Risk management
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital attributable to the parent Company. The Company''s objectives when managing capital are too;
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, The Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, The Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio: (i Loan covenants
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

Note - 6 : Transition to Ind AS
These are the Company''s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS (Refer note 1 on the basis for preparation). The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (The Company''s date of transition).
In preparing its first Ind AS financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 101 First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, the Company has applied the relevant mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions from full retrospective application of Ind AS. Material optional exemptions applied by the Company are as follows:
A.1 Ind AS optional exceptions
1. Deemed cost
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets.
The Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.
2. Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine
The Company has elected to apply this exemption and follow the requirements of Appendix B of Ind AS 16 only for the stripping activity undertaken after the transition date.
A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions
A.2.1 Estimates
An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:
- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
C: Notes to first-time adoption:
Note 1: Trade receivables
As per Ind AS 109, The Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognizing the allowance for doubtful debts. As a result, the allowance for doubtful debts increased by INR 8.37 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - 66.46 lakhs). Consequently, the total equity as at 31 March 2016 decreased by INR 66.46 lakhs (1 April 2015 - 8.37 lakhs) and profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 increased by INR 58.09 lakhs.
Note 2: Security deposits
Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognized at fair value. Accordingly, The Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognized as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by INR 9.60 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - INR 11.46 lakhs). The prepaid rent increased by INR 9.17 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - INR 11.46 lakhs). However there was no change in equity as at April 1, 2015. The profit for the year and total equity as at 31 March 2016 decreased by INR 0.43 lakhs due to amortization of the prepaid rent of INR 2.29 lakhs which is partially off-set by the notional interest income of INR 1.86 lakhs recognized on security deposits.
Note 3: Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations
Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 increased by INR 78.04 lakhs. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March 2016.
Note 4: Borrowings
Ind As 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of the borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the tenure of the borrowing as a part of the interest expense by applying the effective interest rate method. Under the previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Accordingly, borrowings as at 31 March 2016 have been reduced by INR 3.98 lakhs (1 April 2015 - INR 7.09 lakhs) with a corresponding adjustment to the retained earnings. The total equity increased by an equivalent amount. The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 reduced by INR 3.11 lakhs as a result of the additional interest expense.
Note 5: Decommissioning cost
Under the previous GAAP, recognition of decommissioning cost liability was not mandatory and also discounting of provisions was not allowed. Under Ind AS, the decommissioning liability in respect of the mines have been recognized at discounted amounts since the effect of time value of money is material. Accordingly the non-current provisions have been discounted to their present values. This change has reduced the non-current provisions as at 1 April 2015 by INR 9.36 lakhs. Consequently the profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 decreased by INR 0.62 lakhs due to unwinding of interest on the decommissioning liability initially recognized.
Note 6: Excise duty
Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under the Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss as part of expenses. This change has resulted in an increase in the total revenue and total expenses for the year ended 31 March 2016 by INR 4624.48 lakhs. However there is no impact on total equity and profit.
Note 6: Capitalization of stores and spares
Under the previous GAAP, there was no guidance on capitalization of the stores and spares as an item of property, plant and equipment. Under the Ind AS 16, stores and spares whose estimated useful life is more than one period (assumed to be equal to normal operating cycle of 12 months) are to be capitalized and be depreciated over the useful life. Consequently the Company had capitalized stores and spares for INR 49.63 lakhs as at 1 April 2015. The accumulated depreciation on those spares from the respective date adjusted against the retained earnings has reduced the equity by INR 8.98 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - INR 4.97 lakhs).
Note - 7: Events Occurring after the Reporting Period
No events were noted after the reporting period which require an adjustment nor disclosure as provided under Ind
AS 10.
