This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial
statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The
financial statements are for M/s Jindal Drilling & Industries Limited.

a) Basis of preparation & presentation

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis which has been consistently applied,
except for the following asset and liabilities which have been measured at fair value amount:

i) Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments),

ii) Defined benefit plans - plan assets

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards

(Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment), Rules, 2016 .

Company''s financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is also its functional currency.

b) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss.
Historical Cost comprises the cost of acquisition / purchase price inclusive of duties, not recoverable taxes,
incidental expenses, erection /commissioning expenses, borrowing cost etc. up to the date the asset is ready for
its intended use. Credit of duty, if availed, is adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets. Capital Works-
in-Progress is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and interest on borrowings to the
extent attributed to them.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item 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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the
reporting period in which they are incurred.

Further stated that the cost of major inspection and or overhauling of an item relating to owned jack up rig
incurring at the end of every 3 years contract period mandatorily in view of client''s requirement is capitalised
to the extent that its meets the recognition criteria of an asset in line with the Ind AS-16. Such carrying amount is
depreciated over the contract period.

On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant
and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as
the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis, based on the useful life as per
Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than
those prescribed in Schedule II.

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.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization / depletion and impairment loss. Cost comprises
the cost of acquisition / purchase price inclusive of duties, taxes, incidental expenses, erection /commissioning
expenses, borrowing cost etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Credit of duty, if availed, is
adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
when the asset is derecognised.

Amortization of intangible assets acquired / capitalized are amortised using straight line method (SLM) over its
useful file of the intangible assets.

A summary of amortization policies applied to the companies intangible assets to the extent of depreciable
amount is, as follows;

d) Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by
the company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including
related transaction cost and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the
assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will
flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are
expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced
part is derecognised.

The company adopt the cost model as its accounting policy to measure all of its investment property. The Fair
value model is not allowed but only disclosure of fair value of investment property is required even though the
cost model is followed.

Investment properties are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment
properties generally have useful lives of 30 years except lease hold property which is depreciated over its period
of lease.

e) Foreign currency transaction

i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the company operates (‘the functional currency''). The standalone financial
statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is company''s functional and presentation currency.

ii) Translations and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange
rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement
of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the
statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

Exchange difference arising on reporting / settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items (other
than depreciable non-current assets) at rates different from those at which they are initially recorded during
the period which were earlier being recognised in the statement of profit & loss are now being accumulated
in “Foreign Exchange transaction Reserve” and would be accounted for in the statement of profit & loss in the
year in which transaction is complete.

f) Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenues primarily from business of drilling services. Revenues from contracts with
customers are recognized when the performance obligations towards customer have been met. Performance
obligations are deemed to have been met when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services and excludes the amount collected on behalf of third party.

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when products are delivered to the customers Delivery occurs when
the product has been shipped to the customers, risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to customers
and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with sales arrangement.

Revenue is recognized net of goods and service tax (GST), and variable considerations like discount, volume
rebates, returns, pricing incentives to customers and penalties as reduction of revenue on systematic and rational
basis over the period of contract as applicable.

Interest income

Interest income from loans / debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that
the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company, and the amount of the dividend can
be measured reliably.

g) Income Tax
Current Tax:

Provision for Taxation is ascertained on the basis of assessable profit computed in accordance with the provisions
of Income Tax Act, 1961 & tax advices, wherever considered necessary.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence, as the tax effect of ti mi ng difference between
the taxable income & accounting income computed for the current accounting year and reversal of earlier years''
timing difference. Deferred Tax Assets are recognised and carried forward to the extent that there is a reasonable
certainty, except arising from unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses, which are recognised to the
extent that there is virtual certainty, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised.

Current tax and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognized in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are
also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred
tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the
business combination.

h) Leases

Offices Premises taken on lease under which, all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the
lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating lease are recognized as expense on
accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

i) Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. If
any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss to the extent
the carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes 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.

k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently re-measured at amount that would
actually be received.

l) Inventories

Stores, Spares and other items required for operation are treated as consumed as and when sent to drilling rig.
Stocks in hand are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost in respect of Stores & Spares is
determined on FIFO basis.

m) Investments and other financial assets
Classification

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

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

• Those measured at amortised cost.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive
income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election
at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. If financial asset not measured at fair
value, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset will be added to
cost of financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed
in profit or loss.

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 other comprehensive income, there is
no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are
recognised in profit or loss as other income when the company''s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses)
in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments
measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at
amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there
has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial
Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

• The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

• retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obliga¬
tion to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the company 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 derecognised. Where the
company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial
asset is not derecognised.

Where the company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and borrowings or payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as
appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs. The financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and
borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

A financial liability except derivative financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivative
financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships and measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income. All changes in the fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments
to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on
highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions. When
a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of
the derivative is recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve being part of other comprehensive income. Any
ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit
and Loss. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is
discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative
gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was
effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the
occurrence of the underlying transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the
amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

De-recognition 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 de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial
liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s Balance Sheet when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

n) Trade and other 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 within 30 days of recognition. 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 carrying value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.

o) Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets are capitalised as a
part of the cost of asset up to the date when such asset is ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are
recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Credit of duty, if availed, is adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets. Capital Works-in-Progress is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and interest on borrowings to the extent attributed to them.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item 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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment acquired / capitalized is provided using straight line method (SLM). Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis, based on the useful life as per Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in Schedule II.

Particulars

Depreciation

Cost of Leasehold land

Over the period of lease term

Assets cost less than Rs. 10,000/-

100%

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.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization / depletion and impairment loss. Cost comprises the cost of acquisition / purchase price inclusive of duties, taxes, incidental expenses, erection /commissioning expenses, borrowing cost etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Credit of duty, if availed, is adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

Amortization of intangible assets acquired / capitalized is provided using straight line method (SLM).

A summary of amortization policies applied to the companies intangible assets to the extent of depreciable amount is, as follows;

Particulars

Depreciation

Computer Software

Over a period of 5 Years

Drilling RIG Software

Over the period of 10 Years

d) Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction cost and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

The company adopt the cost model as its accounting policy to measure all of its investment property. The Fair value model is not allowed but only disclosure of fair value of investment property is required even though the cost model is followed.

Investment properties are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have useful lives of 30 years except lease hold property which is depreciated over its period of lease.

e) Foreign currency transaction

i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (‘the functional currency''). The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is company''s functional and presentation currency.

ii) Translations and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

Exchange difference arising on reporting / settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items (other than depreciable non-current assets) at rates different from those at which they are initially recorded during the period which were earlier being recognised in the statement of profit & loss are now being accumulated in “Foreign Exchange transaction Reserve” and would be accounted for in the statement of profit & loss in the year in which transaction is complete.

f) Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenues primarily from business of drilling services. Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the performance obligations towards customer have been met. Performance obligations are deemed to have been met when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and excludes the amount collected on behalf of third party.

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when products are delivered to the customers Delivery occurs when the product has been shipped to the customers, risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to customers and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with sales arrangement.

Revenue is recognized net of goods and service tax (GST), and variable considerations like discount, volume rebates, returns, pricing incentives to customers and penalties as reduction of revenue on systematic and rational basis over the period of contract as applicable.

Interest income

Interest income from loans / debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

g) Income Tax Current Tax:

Provision for Taxation is ascertained on the basis of assessable profit computed in accordance with the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 & tax advices, wherever considered necessary.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence, as the tax effect of timing difference between the taxable income & accounting income computed for the current accounting year and reversal of earlier years'' timing difference. Deferred Tax Assets are recognised and carried forward to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty, except arising from unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses, which are recognised to the extent that there is virtual certainty, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

Current tax and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognized in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

h) Leases

Offices Premises taken on lease under which, all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating lease are recognized as expense on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

i) Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes 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.

k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently re-measured at amount that would actually be received.

l) Inventories

Stores, Spares and other items required for operation are treated as consumed as and when sent to drilling rig. Stocks in hand are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost in respect of Stores & Spares is determined on FIFO basis.

m) Investments and other financial assets Classification

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

• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value [either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

• Those measured at amortised cost.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. If financial asset not measured at fair value, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset will be added to cost of financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

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 other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the company''s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

• The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

• 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 company 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 derecognised. Where the company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

A financial liability except derivative financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. All changes in the fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve being part of other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the underlying transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

De-recognition 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 de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

n) Trade and other 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 within 30 days of recognition. 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 carrying value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

o) Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of the cost of asset up to the date when such asset is ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Liabilities which are material, and whose future outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty, are treated as contingent, and disclosed by way of notes to the accounts.

Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statement. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

q) Employee Benefits

Short Term Employee Benefits

Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.

Post-Employment Benefits Defined Contribution Plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified contributions to a separate entity. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund

and Pension Scheme. The Company''s contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service. Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme, if any, is charged as expenses as they fall due.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company pays gratuity to the employees whoever has completed five years of service with the Company at the time of resignation/superannuation. The gratuity is paid @ 15 days salary for every completed year of service as per the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. The gratuity liability amount is contributed to the approved scheme of LIC formed exclusively for gratuity payment to the employees. The gratuity fund has been approved by respective IT authorities.

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees'' services.

Re-measurement of defined benefit plans in respect of post-employment are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income.

r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

s) Claims Recoverable

The claims in respect of fixed assets lost during the process of drilling (lost in hole) are recognised on the basis of invoices raised and correspondingly the depreciated value of the fixed assets lost in hole is charged off. Any deductions made from the claims raised are recognised on receipt of intimation in respect of the same.

t) Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expense is not recognised in cases where total amount spent is Rs. 10,000/- or less. Such expenses are charged to statement of profit and loss.

u) Segment reporting:

Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision making body in the Company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments.

v) Statement of cash flows:

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:

i. changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;

ii. non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, and unrealised foreign currency gains and losses etc.; and

iii. all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and liquid investments, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

w) Event Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date

Events occurring after the Balance Sheet Date and till the date on which the Financial Statement are approved, which are material in the nature and indicate the need for adjustments are considered in the financial statement.

x) Key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgements:

In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under point 2 below, the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets, and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, historical trend of plant load factor, historical planned and scheduled maintenance. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different from the actual outcomes and could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

ii) Provisions and Contingencies:

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities arise from litigations and claims. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized. Potential liabilities that are remote are neither recognized nor disclosed as contingent liability. The management decides whether the matters needs to be classified as‘ remote,'' ‘possible'' or ‘probable'' based on expert advice, past judgements, terms of the contract, regulatory provisions etc.

iii) Fair value measurements:

When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the Financial Statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair values are measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flows 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. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.

iv) Income taxes:

Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits, the management considers convincing evidence about availability of sufficient taxable income against which such unused tax credits can be utilized. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income changes in the future.

v) Defined benefit plans:

The present value of defined benefit obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual development in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary escalations and mortality rates etc. 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.

vi) Loss allowance assessment for a loan / guarantee given to subsidiary and a related party:

a) Assessment for loss allowance for a loan given to subsidiary involves assumptions relating to the valuation of it''s underlying business. In considering the value in use, the Management has made assumption relating to timing of resumption of commercial operations of mining activity, mineable reserves / resources, annual production, yield, future prices of coal, renewal of mining licenses, operational margins and discount rate. Any subsequent changes in the assumptions could materially impact the carrying value of the assets.

b) Recoverability of loans given to and fair value of financial guarantee given on behalf of, a related party serving as a mine development operator for lignite mine of a joint venture entity is assessed on the basis of projected cash flows derived on the presumption that it will continue as the operator having regard to it being selected as the preferred bidder in the fresh competitive bidding process carried out as per the regulator''s direction, its net worth and other external and internal sources of information.

vii) Expected credit loss:

The measurement of expected credit loss on financial assets is based on the evaluation of collectability and the management''s judgement considering external and internal sources of information. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realization of the loans having regard to, the past collection history of each party and ongoing dealings with these parties, and assessment of their ability to pay the debt on designated dates

Viii)Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

y) Recent Pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the following new amendments to Ind AS which the Company has not applied as they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023:-

Amendment to Ind AS 1 “Presentation of Financial Instruments”

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information is material if, together with other information can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statement

Amendment to Ind AS 12 “Income Taxes”

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”

The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial zstatements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

z) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

Note 2: Estimates

The presentations of financial statements is in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles which requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reportable amount of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reportable amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

Historical Cost comprises the cost of acquisition / purchase price inclusive of duties, not recoverable taxes, incidental expenses, erection /commissioning expenses, borrowing cost etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Credit of duty if availed, is adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets. Capital Works-in-Progress is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and interest on borrowings to the extent attributed to them.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item 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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property plant and equipment.

Depreciation on property plant and equipment acquired / capitalized on or before 31st March, 2007 is provided using written down value (WDV) method and thereafter assets acquired / capitalized is provided using straight line method (SLM). Depreciation on property plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis, based on the useful life as per Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in Schedule II.

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.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a property plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization / depletion and impairment loss.

Credit of duty if availed, is adjusted in the acquisition cost of the respective assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of a intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

Amortization of intangible assets acquired / capitalized on or before 31st March 2007 is provided using written down value (WDV) method and thereafter assets acquired / capitalized is provided using straight line method (SLM).

A summary of amortization policies applied to the companies intangible assets to the extent of depreciable amount is, as follows;

d) Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company is classified as investment property.

When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

The company adopt the cost model as its accounting policy to measure all of its investment property, The fair value model is not allowed but only disclosure of fair value of investment property is required even though the cost model is followed. Investment properties are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have useful lives of 30 years except lease hold property which is depreciated over its period of lease.

- Those measured at amortised cost.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. If financial asset not measured at fair value, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset will be added to cost of financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

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 other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the company’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

- The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

- 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 company 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 derecognised. Where the company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

A financial liability except derivative financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. All changes in the fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve being part of other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the underlying transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

De-recognition 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 de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company’s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

n) Trade and other 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 within 30 days of recognition. 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 carrying value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

o) Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of the cost of asset up to the date when such asset is ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Liabilities which are material, and whose future outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty, are treated as contingent, and disclosed by way of notes to the accounts.

Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statement. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

q) Employee Benefits

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees’ services.

Re-measurement of defined benefit plans in respect of post-employment are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income.

r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

s) Claims Recoverable

The claims in respect of fixed assets lost during the process of drilling (lost in hole) are recognised on the basis of invoices raised and correspondingly the depreciated value of the fixed assets lost in hole is charged off. Any deductions made from the claims raised are recognised on receipt of intimation in respect of the same.
