42 Employee benefits

A Defined Contribution plans:

The company contributes to the Government managed provident and pension fund for all qualifying employees.

Contribution to provident fund of Rs. 140.20 lakhs (March 31, 2024: Rs. 108.07 lakhs) is recognised as an expense and included in “Contribution to provident and other funds” in Statement of Profit and Loss.

B Defined benefit plans:

The Company has defined benefit plan for payment of gratuity to all qualifying employees. It is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under this Act, an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to the specified benefits provided which depends on the employee''s length of service and salary at retirement age. The Company''s defined benefit plan is funded with Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).

There are no other post retirement benefits provided by the Company.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligations at the end of reporting period is 3.49 years

Major category of plan assets as a % of total plan

The plan assets are being managed by LIC. No further details are made available by the fund manager. (LIC) Sensitivity analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of defined obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

Estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and salary risk.

(a) Interest risk: a decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.

(b) Salary risk: the present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, a variation in the expected rate of salary increase of the plan participants will change the plan liability.

C Other short term employee benefits

Short term leave

The expenses towards compensated absences (annual and short term leave) for the year ended March 31, 2025 of Rs. 37.66 lakhs (March 31, 2024: Rs. 37.33 lakhs), which is included in the ''Employee benefits expense'' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

46 Financial instruments

A Capital Management:

The Company manages its capital structure with a view to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 23 & 27) and total equity of the Company.

The Company''s management reviews the capital structure of the Company on an annual basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

ii) Fair Value Measurements (Ind AS 113):

The fair value of the Financial Assets and Liabilities are included at the amount, at which instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments based on the input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 : This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical

assets or liabilities. The fair value of all Equity Shares which are traded on the stock exchanges, is valued using the closing price at the reporting date.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for

example, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the

instrument is included in Level 3.

The management assessed that cash and bank balances, trade receivables, loans, trade payables, borrowings (cash credit, foreign currency loans, working capital loans) and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

During the reporting period ending March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, there was no transfer between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurement.

Key Inputs for Level 1 and 2 Fair valuation Technique:

1. Mutual Funds: Based on Net Asset Value of the Scheme (Level 2)

2. Derivative (forward) contracts : The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date. (Level 2)

3. Debentures: Based on comparable instruments (Level 2)

4. Listed Equity Investments (other than Subsidiaries): Quoted Bid Price on Stock Exchange (Level 1)

47 Financial risk management objectives (Ind AS 107)

The Company''s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework.

The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.

The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

A) Credit risk;

B) Liquidity risk; and

C) Market risk A Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises primarily form financial assets such as trade receivables, investments in mutual funds, alternative investment funds, preference shares, debentures, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

Trade and other receivables

Customer credit is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policies, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 0 to 180 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically and geographically.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends.

Loans

The Company has given interest free unsecured loan to subsidiary, Sarlaflex Inc. The subsidiary has suspended its manufacturing operations since December, 2017 and has a negative net worth as on March 31, 2025. Credit risk have been increased significantly for these loans and accordingly necessary impairment provisions have been made.

Other financial assets

The Group maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investments in Equity Shares, preference shares, debentures, treasury bills, government securities, mutual funds, alternative investments funds and derivative contracts. The Group has diversified portfolio of investment with various number of counter parties which have secure credit ratings hence the risk is reduced. Individual risk limits are set for each counter party based on financial position, credit rating and past experience. Credit limits and concentration of exposures are actively monitored by the Management of the Group.

B Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Liquidity risk is managed by Company through effective fund management. The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines and cash flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. Amounts disclosed are the contractual un-discounted cash flows.

C Market risk

Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

I Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Company''s exposure is mainly denominated in U.S. dollars (USD). The USD exchange rate has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company has put in place a Financial Risk Management Policy to Identify the most effective and efficient ways of managing the currency risks. The Company uses derivative instruments (mainly foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Company''s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rupee against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the net exposure outstanding on receivables or payables in the Company at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% charge in foreign currency rate. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. In cases where the related foreign exchange fluctuation is capitalised to fixed assets or recognised directly in reserves, the impact indicated below may affect the Company''s income statement over the remaining life of the related fixed assets or the remaining tenure of the borrowing respectively.

Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting period.

III Price Risk

The Company has deployed its surplus fund into various financial instruments including units of mutual fund, bond, debentures etc. The Company is exposed to price risk on such investments, which arises on account of interest rate, liquidity and credit quality of underlying securities.

II Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk due to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s short-term and long term borrowings with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and revisits its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

The Company has given interest free loan to Subsidiaries for business purpose.

The Company''s investments in term deposits (i.e., certificates of deposits) with banks, investments in preference shares, mutual funds and debentures are at fixed interest rate and therefore do not expose the Company to significant interest rates risk.

52 Balances in loans and advances, trade receivables, trade payables and borrowings are subject to confirmations and reconciliations, if any, however the management does not expect any material differences.

53 Exceptional Item

Company''s Wholly Owned Subsidiary, Sarlaflex, Inc. has suspended its manufacturing operations since December 2017. Thus, management of the Subsidiary is presently monitoring the situation on a continuous basis and exploring all options including sale of the undertaking. Based on the impairment indicator, Company has tested its investments in Sarlaflex, Inc. for whether any impairment is required to be recognised in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 36 -Impairment of Assets.

As at 31st March, 2025, the Company has gross exposure amounting to Rs. 8,926.95 lakhs by way of investments in preference shares, equity shares of Sarlaflex, Inc, loans and advances given to Sarlaflex, Inc. Impairment assessment of those gross exposure have been performed by comparing carrying value to their recoverable amount. Further, an impairment of Rs. 1,840.10 was recognised in previous years. For the purpose of impairment testing, recoverable amount of Investments in equity and preference shares has been determined considering valuation report dated 28th August, 2024 obtained from an external expert. Consequently, impairment provision amounting to Rs. 440 lakhs has been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an exceptional item. Deferred tax assets is not recognised for impairment provision on investments in subsidiary on account of reasonable certainty in accordance with Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes.

60 Figures for previous year have been regrouped, wherever necessary


Mar 31, 2024

2.9. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

2.9.1. Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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;

2.9.2. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of reimbursements, if any;

2.9.3. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost;

2.9.4. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability;

2.9.5. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.

2.10. Revenue Recognition:

2.10.1. Sale of goods:

Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer which is usually on dispatch / delivery of goods, based on contracts with the customers. Export sales are recognized on the issuance of Bill of Lading / Airway bill by the carrier. Revenue from sale of power from wind operated generators is accounted when the same is transmitted to and confirmed by the Electricity Board to whom the same is sold.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers. Accruals for discounts/incentives and returns are estimated (using the most likely method) based on accumulated experience and underlying schemes and agreements with customers. Due to the short nature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.

Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.

Contract Balances:

Trade Receivables

A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

2.10.2. Rendering of Services

Revenue is recognized from rendering of services when the performance obligation is satisfied and the services are rendered in accordance with the terms of customer contracts. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, as specified in the contract with the customer;

Revenue from services is recognised over time by measuring progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation for the services rendered;

Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.

2.10.3. Export incentives under various schemes notified by the Government have been recognised on the basis of applicable regulations, and when reasonable assurance to receive such revenue is established;

2.10.4. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method;

2.10.5. Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established;

2.10.6. Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

2.11. Segment reporting:

The Company identifies operating segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the Managing Director (who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Inter segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis have been included under ‘unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities’.

2.12. Employee Benefits:

2.12.1. Short-term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefits (including leave) are recognized as an expense at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered;

2.12.2. Post-employment benefits:

The Company operates the following post - employment schemes:

• Defined contribution plans such as provident fund; and

• Defined benefit plans such as gratuity Defined Contribution Plans:

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans such as provident fund are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as the related service is rendered by the employee. The said benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined Benefit Plans:

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans such as gratuity is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed at each reporting period end by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This net interest is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

2.13. Borrowing costs:

2.13.1. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs;

2.13.2. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use) are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss;

2.13.3. Investment Income earned on the temporary investment of funds of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

2.14. Foreign Currency Transactions:

2.14.1. Monetary items:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss either as profit or loss on foreign currency transaction and translation or as borrowing costs to the extent regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs.

2.14.2. Non - Monetary items:

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

2.15. Fair Value measurement:

2.15.1. The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date;

2.15.2. Certain accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities;

2.15.3. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability also reflects its non-performance risk;

2.15.4. The best estimate of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price - i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Company determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability

nor based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently that difference is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out;

2.15.5. While if an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs);

2.15.6. When quoted price in active market for an instrument is available, the Company measures the fair value of the instrument using that price. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis;

2.15.7. If there tive market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that

maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction;

2.15.8. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Company assesses the evidence obtained from third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

2.16. Financial Instruments:

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

2.16.1. Financial Assets:

I. Initial recognition and measurement:

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

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are initially measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115.

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified at the initial recognition as financial assets measured at fair value or as financial assets measured at amortised cost.

II. Subsequent measurement:

Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at

a) amortised cost;

b) fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL);

c) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

a) Measured at amortised cost:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b) Measured at FVOCI:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at FVOCI. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

For equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on initial recognition) to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

c) Measured at FVTPL:

A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. De-recognition:

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.

IV. Impairment of Financial assets:

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortised costs and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.

Loss allowance on receivables from customers are measured following the ‘simplified approach’ at an amount equal to lifetime ECL at each reporting date. In respect of other financial assets, the loss allowance is measured at 12 months ECL only if there is no significant deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date.

2.16.2. Financial Liabilities:

I. Initial recognition and measurement:

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

II. Subsequent measurement:

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. De-recognition:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

2.16.3. Financial guarantees:

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of the debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.

Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the fair value initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.

2.16.4. Derivative financial instruments:

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the exposure on account of fluctuation in interest rate and foreign exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

2.16.5. Embedded derivatives:

If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109, the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 are applied to the entire hybrid contract.

Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts, including financial liabilities are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value, if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at FVTPL.

These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments.

Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.

2.16.6. Offsetting of financial instruments:

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

2.17. Taxes on Income

2.17.1. Current Tax

Income-tax Assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the end of reporting period.

Current Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity;

2.17.2. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward ofunused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

2.18. Earnings per share

2.18.1. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period;

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

2.19. Cash and Cash equivalents:

2.19.1. Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet include cash at bank, cash, cheque, draft on hand and demand deposits with an original maturity of less than three months, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value;

2.19.2. For the sh Flows, Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, cash,

cheque and draft on hand net off of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

2.20. Cash Flows:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax 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 are segregated.

2.21. Dividend:

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

3. Recent Pronouncements:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under

Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024,

MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

46 Financial instruments A Capital Management:

The Company manages its capital structure with a view to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 23 & 27) and total equity of the Company.

The Company’s management reviews the capital structure of the Company on an annual basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

ii) Fair Value Measurements (Ind AS 113):

The fair value of the Financial Assets and Liabilities are included at the amount, at which instrument could be

exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale..

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments

based on the input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 : This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of all Equity Shares which are traded on the stock exchanges, is valued using the closing price at the reporting date.

Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3 : If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

A. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises primarily form financial assets such as trade receivables, investments in mutual funds, preference shares, debentures, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

Trade and other receivables

Customer credit is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policies, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 0 to 180 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically and geographically.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends.

The management assessed that cash and bank balances, trade receivables, loans, trade payables, borrowings (cash credit, foreign currency loans, working capital loans) and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

During the reporting period ending March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there was no transfer between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurement.

Key Inputs for Level 1 and 2 Fair valuation Technique:

1. Mutual Funds : Based on Net Asset Value of the Scheme (Level 2)

2. Derivative (forward) contracts : The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date. (Level 2)

3. Debentures: Based on comparable instruments (Level 2)

4. Listed Equity Investments (other than Subsidiaries): Quoted Bid Price on Stock Exchange (Level 1)

47 Financial risk management objectives (Ind AS 107)

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

A) Credit risk;

B) Liquidity risk; and

C) Market risk

Loans

The Company has given interest free unsecured loan to subsidiary, Sarlaflex Inc. The subsidiary has suspended its manufacturing operations since December, 2017 and has a negative net worth as on March 31, 2024. Credit risk have been increased significantly for these loans and accordingly necessary impairment provisions have been made.

Other financial assets

The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investments in Debentures, Preference shares, mutual funds and derivative contracts. The Company has diversified portfolio of investment with various number of counter-parties which have secure credit ratings hence the risk is reduced. Individual risk limits are set for each counter-party based on financial position, credit rating and past experience. Credit limits and concentration of exposures are actively monitored by the Management of the Company.

B. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Liquidity risk is managed by Company through effective fund management. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines and cash flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. Amounts disclosed are the contractual un-discounted cash flows.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rupee against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the net exposure outstanding on receivables or payables in the Company at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% charge in foreign currency rate. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. In cases where the related foreign exchange fluctuation is capitalised to fixed assets or recognised directly in reserves, the impact indicated below may affect the Company’s income statement over the remaining life of the related fixed assets or the remaining tenure of the borrowing respectively.

C. Market risk

Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

I Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Company’s exposure is mainly denominated in U.S. dollars (USD). The USD exchange rate has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company has put in place a Financial Risk Management Policy to Identify the most effective and efficient ways of managing the currency risks. The Company uses derivative instruments (mainly foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate.

III Price Risk

The Company has deployed its surplus fund into various financial instruments including units of mutual fund, bond, debentures etc. The Company is exposed to price risk on such investments, which arises on account of interest rate, liquidity and credit quality of underlying securities.

52 Balances in loans and advances, trade receivables, trade payables and borrowings are subject to confirmations and reconciliations, if any, however the management does not expect any material differences.

In accordance with Ind AS 18 on "Revenue" and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, Sales for the pervious year ended 31st March 2017 and for the period 1st April to 30 June 2017 were reported gross of Excise Duty and net of Value Added Tax (VAT)/Sales Tax. Excise Duty was reported as a separate expenses line item. Consequent to the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with effect from 1st July 2017, VAT/Sales Tax, Excise Duty etc. have been subsumed into GST and accordingly the same is not recognised as part of Sales as per the requirements of Ind AS 18. This has resulted in lower reported sales in the current year in comparison to the sales reported under the pre-GST structure of indirect taxes. With the change in structure of indirect taxes, expenses are also being reported net of taxes. Accordingly, Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2018 and in particular, Sales, absolute expenses, elements of Working Capital (Inventories, Trade payable, other current assets/current liabilities etc.) and ratios in percentage of sales, are thus not comparable with the figures of the pervious year.

44 Employee benefits A Defined Contribution plans:

The company contributes to the Government managed provident and pension fund for all qualifying employees.

Contribution to provident fund of Rs. 47.32 lakhs (31st March, 2017: Rs. 43.64 lakhs) is recognised as an expense and included in "Contribution to provident and other funds" in Statement of Profit and Loss.

B Defined benefit plans:

The Company has defined benefit plan for payment of gratuity to all qualifying employees. It is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under this Act, an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to the specified benefits provided which depends on the employee''s length of service and salary at retirement age. The Company''s defined benefit plan is funded with Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).

There are no other post retirement benefits provided by the Company.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligations at the end of reporting period is 39 years.

Major category of plan assets as a % of total plan

The plan assets are being managed by LIC. No further details are made available by the fund manager.

Sensitivity analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of defined obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

Estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. These plans typically expose the company to actuarial risks such as Interest rate risk and salary risk

as detailed in notes 23, 28 and 30) and total equity of the Company.

The Company''s management reviews the capital structure of the Company on an annual basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

ii) Fair Value Measurements (Ind AS 113):

The fair value of the Financial Assets and Liabilities are included at the amount, at which instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments based on the input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 :

This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of all Equity Shares which are traded on the stock exchanges, is valued using the closing price at the reporting date.

Level 2:

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3:

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The management assessed that cash and bank balances, trade receivables, loans, trade payables, borrowings (cash credit, foreign currency loans, working capital loans) and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the shortterm maturities of these instruments.

During the reporting period ending 31st March, 2018 and 31st March, 2017, there was no transfer between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurement.

Key Inputs for Level 1 and 2 Fair valuation Technique:

1. Mutual Funds : Based on Net Asset Value of the Scheme (Level 2)

2. Derivative (forward) contracts : The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date (Level 2)

3. Preference Shares : Based on comparable instruments (Level 2)

4. Listed Equity Investments (other than Subsidiaries): Quoted Bid Price on Stock Exchange (Level 1)

Note 49 Financial risk management objectives (Ind AS 107)

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

A) Credit risk;

B) Liquidity risk;

C) Market risk; and

D) Interest rate risk

A Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises primarily form financial assets such as trade receivables, investments in mutual funds, preference shares, debentures, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

Trade and other receivables

Customer credit is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policies, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 0 to 180 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically and geographically.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual based on historical trend, industry practices and the business credit loss experience and past trends.

Other financial assets

The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investments in Debentures, Preference shares, mutual funds, derivative contracts and loan to subsidiary companies. The Company has diversified portfolio of investment with various number of counter parties which have secure credit ratings hence the risk is reduced. Individual risk limits are set for each counter party based on financial position, credit rating and past experience. Credit limits and concentration of exposures are actively monitored by the Management of the Company.

B Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Liquidity risk is managed by Company through effective fund management. The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines and cash flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. Amounts disclosed are the contractual un-discounted cash flows.

C Market risk

Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

I Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Company''s exposure is mainly denominated in U.S. dollars (USD). The USD exchange rate has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The Company has put in place a Financial Risk Management Policy to Identify the most effective and efficient ways of managing the currency risks. The Company uses derivative instruments (mainly foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rupee against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the net exposure outstanding on receivables or payables in the Company at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% charge in foreign currency rate. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. In cases where the related foreign exchange fluctuation is capitalised to fixed assets or recognised directly in reserves, the impact indicated below may affect the Company''s income statement over the remaining life of the related fixed assets or the remaining tenure of the borrowing respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk due to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s short-term and long term borrowings with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and revisits its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

The Company has given interest free loan to Subsidiaries for business purpose.

The Company''s investments in term deposits(i.e. certificates of deposits) with banks, investments in preference shares, mutual funds and debentures are at fixed interest rate and therefore do not expose the company to significant interest rate risk.

Note 52 Leases

A) Operating lease:

The Company procures on lease office premises under operating leases. These rentals recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account for the year is Rs. 15.87 lakhs (31st March, 2017: Rs. 24.06 lakhs). The said lease is renewable at the option of the lessor & lessee. The deposit paid in respect of the same is Rs. Nil (as at 31st March, 2017: 250 lakhs, as at 1st April, 2016: 250 lakhs). The future minimum lease payments and payment profile of cancellable operating leases are as under:

Note 53 Service Concession Arrangements

The Company has entered into service concession arrangements with entities supplying electricity ("The Regulator") to construct, own, operate and maintain a wind energy based electric power generating station ("Plant"). Under the terms of agreement, the Company will operate and maintain the Plant and sell electricity generated to the Regulator for a period which covers the substantial useful life of the Plant which may be renewed for such further period as may be mutually agreed upon between the parties. The Company will be responsible for any maintenance services during the concession period.

The Company in turn has a right to charge the Regulator at the agreed rate as stated in the service concession arrangement. The fair value towards the construction of the Plant has been recognised as an Intangible Asset and is amortized over the useful life of the asset or period of contract whichever is less.

The Company has recognised an intangible asset of Rs.2232.02 lakhs as at 31st March, 2018 (31st March 2017: 2232.02 lakhs and 1st April 2016: 2232.02 lakhs) of which 96.65 Lakhs (Previous year 96.65 lakhs) has been amortized during the respective periods.

Note 54 The Company has elected to continue the policy adopted under previous GAAP for accounting the foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2017 i.e. foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted to the carrying cost of the assets and depreciated over the balance life of the asset and in other cases, if any, accumulated in “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” and amortized over the balance period of the liability. For the current financial year, the impact on account of above (net of depreciation and amortization) is decrease in profit before tax of Rs. 4.69 lakhs (in Previous year Rs. 6.23 lakhs). The net gain remaining unamortized under Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account as at 31st March 2018 is Rs. 9.38 lakhs (net gain as at 31st March 2017 Rs. 18.70 lakhs and net loss of Rs. 26.46 lakhs as at 1st April 2016). (Also refer note 4A(i).

Note 55 Transition to Ind AS

These are the Company''s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The Company has adopted all the Ind AS and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 - First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, which was the ''Previous GAAP''.

The Significant Accounting Policies set out in Note No. 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018, 31st March 2017 and the opening Ind AS balance sheet on the date of transition i.e. 1st April 2016.

In preparing its Ind AS Balance Sheet as at 1st April 2016 and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended 31st March 2017, the Company has adjusted amounts previously reported in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP, and how the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company''s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

I Explanation of transition to Ind AS

In preparing the financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions.

A Optional Exemptions availed

I Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets:The Company has elected to measure all its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the Previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

ii Investments in Subsidiaries

The Company has elected to measure its investments in subsidiaries at the Previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

iii Service Concession Arrangement

The Company has elected to use the exemption available under Ind AS 101 to continue the carrying value as per Previous GAAP for all of its intangible assets under the service concession arrangements.

iv Long Term Foreign Currency Monetary Items

The Company has elected to continue the policy adopted under Previous GAAP for accounting the foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2017 i.e. foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of longterm foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted to the carrying cost of the assets and depreciated over the balance life of the asset and in other cases, if any, accumulated in ''Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account'' and amortised over the balance period of the liability.

B Mandatory Exceptions

I Estimates

On assessment of the estimates made under the Previous GAAP financial statements, the Company has concluded that there is no necessity to revise the estimates under Ind AS, as there is no objective evidence of an error in those estimates. However, estimates that were required under Ind AS but not required under Previous GAAP are made by the Company for the relevant reporting dates reflecting conditions existing as at that date.

ii Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities as required by Ind AS 109 is applied prospectively i.e. after the transition date.

iii Classification and measurement of financial assets Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.

Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.

VII Notes to reconciliation:-A Fair valuation of investments

All Investments except investments in group companies have been fair valued in accordance with Ind AS 109. Investments in debt securities are measured at amortised costs. Other investments are fair valued through profit or loss. Under Previous GAAP, current investments were carried at cost net of diminution in their value as at the Balance Sheet date. The long term investments were carried at cost net of permanent diminution, if any.

B Trade receivables

Under previous GAAP, the Company had recognised provision on trade receivables based on the expectation of the Company.

Under Ind AS the Company provides loss allowance on receivables based on the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model which is measured following the "simplified approach" at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL at each reporting date.

C Derivative financial instruments

Under Previous GAAP, in respect of all derivative contracts (except forward contracts), only mark-to-market loss was provided. Premium /discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency risks were amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such forward exchange contracts were recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, all derivative contracts are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

D Government Grants

Under previous GAAP, Government Grants in respect of Property, Plant and Equipment was presented as Capital Reserve under Reserves and Surplus. Under Ind AS, Government Grants in respect of Property, Plant and Equipment needs to be presented as deferred income as part of liabilities.

E Proposed Dividend

Under Ind AS the final dividend including related tax is recognised in the period in which the obligation to pay is established on its approval, post reporting of financial statements. Under Previous GAAP, provision was required to be made in the financial statements for the proposed final dividend in the period to which the liability related.

F Deferred Tax

Under previous GAAP, deferred tax accounting was done using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Under Ind AS, accounting of deferred taxes is done using the Balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.

G Remeasurement of Defined benefits liabilities

Under previous GAAP the company recognised remeasurements of defined benefits plans under profit and loss. Under Ind AS , remeasurement of defined benefits plans are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income

H Other Comprehensive Income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard enquires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.

I Excise Duty

Under previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented net of Excise Duty under revenue from operations.

Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products includes excise duty. The corresponding excise duty expense is presented under other expenses in the statement of profit and loss. The change does not affect the total equity as at 1st April, 2016 and 31st March, 2017, profit before tax or total profit for the year ended 31st March, 2017.

J Investment Property

Pursuant to Ind AS requirements, investment property is presented separately. Under Previous GAAP the same was presented as part of tangible assets. Tangible assets have been now divided into two categories under Ind AS viz. Property, plant and equipment and Investment property.

K Restatement of loan given to subsidiary

Loan given to subsidiary has been restated at the exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date.

L Long Term Foreign Currency Monetary Items

The Company has elected to continue the policy adopted under previous GAAP for accounting the foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding as of 31st March 2017 i.e. foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long term foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted to the carrying cost of the assets and depreciated over the balance life of the asset and in other cases, if any, accumulated in“Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” and amortized over the balance period of the liability.

M Others

Other adjustments on account of transition to Ind AS include reclassification of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) to Intangible asset as part of service concession arrangements, classification of Investment Property, fair valuation of deposits and effect of adjustments relating to revenue recognition.

N The previous year Previous GAAP figures have been reclassified/regrouped to make them comparable with Ind AS presentation.
