The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial
instruments and defined benefit plans which are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Historical
cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the

participants at the measurement date.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and
other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act.

• Current versus non-current classification

- It is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle. it
is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

All nthpr accptc arp rl a cc if i pH ac: nnn-n irrpnt

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

- it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

- it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

- it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or the Company does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date

Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counter party, result in its settlement by the issue of equity
instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

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

• Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost net of tax / duty credit availed, less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost, less
any recognized impairment losses. All costs, including borrowing costs incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its
intended use, is capitalized along with respective asset.

Depreciation is recognized based on the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight¬
line method. The useful life of property, plant and equipment is considered based on life prescribed in schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 for year 2024-25

• Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets
or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

• Financial Assets

♦ Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and

• Those measured at amortized cost.

• Those measured at carrying cost for equity instruments subsidiaries and joint ventures.

♦ Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets, are recognized initially at fair value

• Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company''s management has elected to
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and
losses to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to equity. Dividends from such investments are recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss within other income when the Company''s right to receive payments is established. Impairment
losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTOCI are not reported separately from other
changes in fair value.

Financial liabilities

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other liabilities. These are initially measured at
fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a
method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at
effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the
expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end
of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized
cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset
is included in the ''Finance costs'' line item.

Trade and other payables are recognized at the transaction cost, which is its fair value.

• Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the financial asset or settle the financial liability takes place either:

• In the principal market, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use.

• Revenue recognition

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 from 1st April, 2018 and opted for modified retrospective application with the
cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application. The standard has been
applied to all open contracts as on 1st April, 2018, and subsequent contracts with customers from that date.

Performance obligation:

The revenue is recognized on fulfillment of performance obligation.

• Sale of products:

The Company earns revenue primarily from sale of Steel Product and Trading in goods. Payment for the sale is made as
per the credit terms in the agreements with the customers. The credit period is generally short term, thus there is no
significant financing component. The Company''s contracts with customers do not provide for any right to returns,
refunds or similar obligations. The Company''s obligation to repair or replace faulty products under standard warranty
terms is recognized as a provision.

Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied and the control of the product is transferred,
being when the goods are delivered as per the relevant terms of the contract at which point in time the Company has a
right to payment for the asset, customer has possession and legal title to the asset, customer bears significant risk and
rewards of ownership and the customer has accepted the asset or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria
for acceptance have been satisfied.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the ''Finance costs'' line item.

Trade and other payables are recognized at the transaction cost, which is its fair value.

Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading

- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

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

- 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

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the financial asset or settle the financial liability takes place either:

- In the principal market, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use.

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, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Taxation

Tax on Income comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments / appeals. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized for the future tax consequences of deductible temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the reporting date, using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as on reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date.

Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Where ordinary shares are issued but not fully paid, they are treated in the calculation of basic earnings per share as a fraction of an ordinary share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends during the period relative to a fully paid ordinary share. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

In some cases, the rate of interest on the loans are variable in nature and drawl of the loans have been made in multiple installments with each drawl to be treated as a separate transaction for the purpose of computing the amortised cost. Implementing the requirement of amortised cost retrospectively is impracticable and also the amount is expected to be immaterial and hence the Company has considered the fair value of the financial liability at the date of transition to Ind AS as new amortised cost of that financial liability at the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. 1 April 2016.

2. Optional exemptions

(a) Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to opt to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised 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". Accordingly, the Company has opted to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.

(b) Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

IND AS 101 provides the option to the first-time adopter to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at either cost determined in accordance with IND AS 27 or in accordance with IND AS 109.

Accordingly, the Company has opted to measure such investments at cost in accordance with Ind AS27.

(c) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

The Company has applied Appendix C of Ind AS 17 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the transition date.

The Company has leases of land. The classification of each land as finance lease or operating lease at the date of transition to Ind AS is done based on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as at that date.
