Nature and Purpose of the Reserve:
Securities premium:
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance withthe provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 Money received against Share warrants
Money received against Share warrants represents amount received towards share warrants issued by the company. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to equity share capital and securities premium on allotment of shares against the said warrants.
This is available for distribution to shareholders.
Other Comprehensive Income:
The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI equity investments reserve within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.
Retained earnings:
Companyâs share of cumulative earnings since its formation minus the dividends/capitalisation and earnings transferred to general reserve.
13 (i) (a) There was no default in the repayment of loans, borrowing and interest during the year.
(b) Interest rate relating to fixed deposits is in the range of 7.30% to 9.00% during the year
(c) The fixed deposits are repayable on maturity, the period for which ranges from 1 to 3 years.
This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares
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.
This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair value is determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This Level includes investment in unquoted equity shares.
There are no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 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.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
(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 Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for unlisted equity securities where the fair values have been determined based on book value per share as per the latest available financial statements.
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates.
Details of the investment property and its fair value:
Investment property disclosed is net of depreciation.
The fair values of investment properties have been determined based on the valuation report of a certified engineer.
29 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as going concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and longterm product and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, cash generated from operation, long term and short-term borrowings.
Financial risk Management objectives
The treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedging financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Companyâs policies approved by the board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, the use of financial derivatives, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Companyâs activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company actively manages its currency and interest rate exposures through its finance division and uses derivative instruments such as forward contracts and currency swaps, wherever required, to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of Management.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company actively manages its currency rate exposures and uses natural hedging principles to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments, if any, is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management.
liability and the liability during the year is not material to the company, hence it is considered that the company is not exposed materially to the interest rate changes.
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Companyâs revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Companyâs cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing the Companyâs capital expenditures. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 5%, which represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks.
Exposure to credit risk
Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, loans receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits provided by the Company. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk except loans provided to wholly owned subsidiary.
Offsetting related disclosures
Offsetting of cash and cash equivalents to borrowings as per the consortium agreement is available only to the bank in the event of a default. Company does not have the right to offset in case of the counter partyâs bankruptcy, therefore, these disclosures are not required.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk Management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit . The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.
The following tables detail the Companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
In managementâs opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
For details of the Companyâs long-term and short-term loans and borrowings, including interest rate profiles, refer to Note 13 and 15 of these financial statements.
Interest rate sensitivity analysisFixed Rate Instruments
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 flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / decreased equity and profit or loss. The company as at the Balance Sheet date doesnât have any floating rate

o) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent asset
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are discounted, if the effect of the time value of money is material, using pretax rates that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost. These provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Necessary provision for doubtful debts, claims, etc., are made, if realisation of money is doubtful in the judgement of the Management.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. Contingent liabilities are disclosed separately.
Contingent assets
Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the Company discloses a brief description of the nature of the contingent assets at the end of the reporting period, and, where practicable, an estimate of their financial effect.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are shortterm balances with original maturity of less than 3 months, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
q) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Bank borrowings are generally considered to be financing activities.
r) Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS 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.

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 Company 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 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.
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.
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 included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 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.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
- the fair value of certain financial instruments have been determined based on the buy back offer made by the originatory of the instrument.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for unlisted equity securities where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.
Details of the investment property and its fair value:
Investment property disclosed is net of depreciation.
The fair values of investment properties have been determined based on the valuation report of a certified engineer.
28 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and long-term product and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity and other short-term borrowings.
Financial risk Management objectives
The treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations through internal risk reports which
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedging financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Companyâs policies approved by the board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, the use of financial derivatives, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Companyâs activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company actively manages its currency and interest rate exposures through its finance division and uses derivative instruments such as forward contracts and currency swaps, wherever required, to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of Management.
Foreign currency risk Management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company actively manages its currency rate exposures through a centralised treasury division and uses natural hedging principles to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments, if any, is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of Management.
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Companyâs revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Companyâs cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing the Companyâs capital expenditures. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%, which represents Managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 2% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Company where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower.
In Managementâs opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key Management personnel and represents Managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is not subject to credit risk as the internally generated funds are used to meet their financial requirements
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure is the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks, short term deposits with banks, trade receivables, margin money and other financial assets excluding equity investments.
Offsetting related disclosures
Offsetting of cash and cash equivalents to borrowings as per multiple banking arrangement is available only to the respective bank in the event of a default. Company does not have the right to offset in case of the counter partyâs bankruptcy, therefore, these disclosures are not required.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk Management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit . The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.
Liquidity tables
The following tables detail the Companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

7. First-time adoption of Ind AS Transition to Ind AS
These are the Companyâs first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accounting policies set out in Note III have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at April 1, 2016 (The companyâs date of transition).
In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP).
An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
A. Exemptions and exceptions availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
A.1 Ind AS optional exemptions
A.1.1 Deemed cost for PPE, Intangibles and Investment Property Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to fair value a class of property, plant and equipment or to continue with the carrying value for all of its PPE 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 elected to continue the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property at their previous GAAP values.
A.1.2. Designation of previously recognised financial instruments
Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI or FVTPL on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS. The company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in equity investments. Accordingly, the investment in equity instruments are classified as FVOCI except its subsidiaries and associates which is measured at amortised cost.
A.1.3. Leases
Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material. The company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/ arrangements.
A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions
A.2.1 Estimates
"An entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind AS 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 April 1, 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The company made estimates for impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:â- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model."
B. Notes to first-time adoption
B.1 Trade receivables
As per Ind AS 109, The company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts. Accordingly, the Company has developed an assessment for allowance for expected credit loss. The same has been considered in the opening and comparative period financial statements.
B.2 Transaction costs in respect of financial instruments
"Under the previous GAAP, transaction costs in relation to financial liabilities are charged to the profit and loss in the year in which they are incurred.ââAs per Ind AS 109, transaction costs in relation to financial liabilities are to be reduced from the related financial liabilities and amortised over the repayment period of the said liability."
B.3 Remeasurement 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 recognised 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. Adjustments have been made for such re-classifications.
B.4 Constructive obligations
Under Ind AS, any constructive obligation shall also be considered and provided for in the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has measured its constructive obligation relating to salary revision based on best estimate and considered the same in the Ind AS financial statements.
B.5 Decommissioning liability
Under Ind AS, any obligation towards decommissioning liability shall be estimated and provided. The Company has certain obligations to restore the land to its original position, in respect of land acquired for mining (both freehold and leasehold). The said liability has been estimated as per Ind AS 37 and accounted for in the Ind AS financial statements.
B.6 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities
Under Ind AS, financial assets and liabilities are to be valued at amortised cost or fair valued through profit and loss (FVTPL) or fair valued through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) based on the Company''s business objectives and the cash flow characteristics of the underlying financial assets and liabilities. The Company has remeasured the financial assets and liabilities as on the date of transition and the consequential impact has been given in the opening retained earnings.
B. 7 Government Grants
Under Ind AS, Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, is presented in the balance sheet by setting up the grant as deferred income. The grant set up as deferred income is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.. The Company has remeasured the capital grants as aforesaid and accounted in the Ind AS financial statements.
B.8 Proposed dividends
Under Ind AS, liability to pay dividends arises only when the shareholders approves the dividends recommended by the board of directors. Till such approval the proposed dividends does not meet the recognition criteria of a liability. The Company has accordingly, reversed the provisions for proposed dividends and the related taxes. Only a disclosure as required by Ind AS has been made
B.9 Deferred tax
Under Ind AS, the deferred tax asset and liabilities are required to be accounted based on balance sheet approach. The Company has remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities as aforesaid and accounted in the Ind AS financial statements.
B.10 Investment Property
Property that is held for long-term rental yields 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 costs.
