2.1 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER
EXPLANATORY NOTES

A. Property, Plant and Equipment:

i. Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at cost and not depreciated. All
other items of property, plant and equipment are measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations,
not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management, are recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment
have different useful life, then they are accounted and
depreciated for as separate items (major components) of
property, plant and equipment.

An Item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognized
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any
gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

ii. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable
that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the Company.

iii. Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of the
assets (other than freehold land) less their residual values
over their useful lives, using the Straight Line Method on the
basis of useful lives specified in part C of Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 except plant and equipment ranging
from 10 - 20 years. The Estimated useful lives, residual
values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the
estimated accounted for on a prospective basis.

B. Investment Property:

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital
appreciation or both, is classified as investment property.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost,
including related transaction costs and where applicable
borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to
the asset''s carrying amount only when it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the expenditure
will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs
are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment

property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced
part is derecognised. Investment properties are depreciated
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives. Though the Company measures investment property
using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment
property is disclosed in the notes.

C. Intangible Assets:

i. Recognition and measurement

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if
any. Amortization is done over their estimated useful life on
straight line basis from the date that they are available for
intended use, subjected to impairment test.

ii. Amortization

Software, which is not an integral part of the related hardware
is classified as an intangible asset and is amortized over the
useful life of 3 years.

iii. De-recognition of Intangible Assets

Intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an
intangible asset, measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset,
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the
asset is de-recognized.

D. Impairment:

i. Non-financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether
there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets with finite life may be impaired. If
any such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of an
asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment,
if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which
the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair valueless costs of
disposal and value in use. If the recoverable amount of the
asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than
its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or
cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognised in statement of Profit
and Loss.

E. Leases:

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee
(A) Lease Liability

At the commencement date, the Company measures the
lease liability at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be
discounted using incremental borrowing rate.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial
amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease
plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.

Subsequent measurement

(A) Lease Liability

Company measure the lease liability by (a) increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (b)
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments
made; and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect
any reassessment or lease modifications.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated from the commencement date on a straight line
basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the
under lying asset.

Impairment

Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose
of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the
higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use)
is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset
does not generate cash flows that are largely independent
of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable
amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
to which the asset belongs.

Short term Lease

Short term lease is that, at the commencement date, has
a lease term of 12 months or less. A lease that contains a
purchase option is not a short-term lease. If the Company
elected to apply short term lease, the lessee shall recognise
the lease payments associated with those leases as an
expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term
or another systematic basis. The lessee shall apply another
systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the
pattern of the lessee''s benefit.

As a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a
finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease
transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All
other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and
loss on straight line basis over the lease term.

F. Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of Cost and Net
Realizable Value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-
in first-out formula, and includes expenditure incurred in
acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and
other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location
and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and

work-in-progress, costs include an appropriate share of fixed
production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses. The Net realisable value of
work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling
prices of related finished products.

Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use
in the production of finished products are not written down
value below cost except in cases where material prices have
declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished
products will exceed their net realisable value.

G. Investments and Other Financial Assets:

i. Classification

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

• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either
through other comprehensive income, or through
Statement of Profit and Loss), and

• Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company''s business
model for managing the financial assets and the contractual
terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value,
gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit
and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments
in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model
in which the investment is held. For investments in equity
instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has
made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition
to account for the equity investment at fair value through
other comprehensive income.

The Company reclassifies debt or equity investments when
and only when its business model for managing those
assets changes.

ii. Measurement

At initial recognition, in case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit and loss, the Company measures a
financial asset at its fair value plus, transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair
value through Statement of Profit and Loss are expensed in
Statement of Profit and Loss.

(a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection
of contractual cash flows where those cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest are
measured at amortized cost.

(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
(FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of
contractual cash flows and for selling the financial
assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest, are measured at
FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken
through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), except for
the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest

revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which
are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When
the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain
or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from
equity to profit and loss and recognized in other gains/
losses. Interest income from these financial assets is
included in other income using the effective interest
rate method.

(c) Fair value through profit and loss: Assets that do
not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are
measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and
Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is
included in other income.

Trade Receivables:

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus,
in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable
to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component are measured at transaction price. Purchases
or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets
within a time frame established by regulation or convention
in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on
the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to
purchase or sell the asset.

iii. Equity Instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments
at fair value. Where the Company''s management has elected
to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments
in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value
gains and losses to Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends
from such investments are recognized in Statement of Profit
and Loss as other income when the Company''s right to
receive payment is established.

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

iv. Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized only when

(a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash
flows from the financial asset or

(b) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash
flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual
obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients.

H. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise
cash at banks and on hand and highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less, which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby
profit for the period 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 the operating, investing and
financing activities of the Company are segregated.

I. Financial Liabilities:

i. Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and
in the case of loans, borrowings and payables recognized net
of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other
payables, loans and borrowings.

ii. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains
and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss
when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the
Effective Interest rate (EIR) amortization process.

J. Foreign Currency Translation:

Items included in the financial statements of the Company
are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (''the functional
currency''). The Indian Rupee (INR) is the functional and
presentation currency of the Company.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial
recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet
date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using
the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that
arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting
at each balance sheet date of the Company''s monetary
items at the closing rate are recognized as income and
expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss, in the
period in which they arise.

K. Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised
when control of the goods or services are transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. The Company assesses promises
in the contract that are separate performance obligations to
which a portion of transaction price is allocated.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in
time when control of the asset is asset is transferred to the
customer, generally on the delivery of the goods.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is
measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable
consideration) allocated to that performance obligation.
The transaction price of goods sold, and services rendered
is net of variable consideration on account of various
discounts, schemes, rebates offered by the Company as
part of the contract.

The Company considers whether there are other promises
in the contract that are separate performance obligations
to which a portion of the transaction price needs to
be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the
Company considers the effects of variable consideration,
the existence of significant financing component, non-cash
component and consideration payable to the customer like
return, allowances, trade discounts, liquidated damages and
volume rebates.

Sales are disclosed excluding net of sales returns, service
tax, value added tax and Goods and Service Tax (GST).

i. Export Incentives

Export incentives are recognized when the right to receive
them as per the terms of the entitlement is established in
respect of exports made.

The benefits accrued under the duty drawback scheme,
Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) and RoDTEP
as per the Import and export Policy in respect of exports
under the said scheme are recognised when there is a
reasonable assurance that the benefit will be received and
the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
The above benefits have been included under the head
''Export Incentives''.

ii. Other Income

i) Other income is comprised primarily of interest income,
gain/loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on foreign
currency transactions. Interest income is recognized using
the effective interest method.

L. Employee Benefits:

i. Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary
benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12
months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service are recognised in respect of
employee''s services up to the end of the reporting period
and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when
the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as
current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

ii. Provident Fund

Contribution towards provident fund for employees is made
to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no
further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined
Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any
further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a
monthly basis.

iii. Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit
plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees
in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to
vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or
termination of employment, of an amount based on the
respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment.
The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual
contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)
under its Company''s Gratuity Scheme. The liability or asset

recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit
gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair
value of plan assets. The Company''s liability is actuarially
determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the
end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit
obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they arise. They are included
in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity
and in the balance sheet.

iv. Compensated Absences

Entitlement of employees accumulating earned leave and
eligibility of compensation or encashment of the same is
also a defined benefit obligation and is treated as long term
in nature in terms of the policies of the Company for the
same. The value of obligation towards the same is provided
for on the basis of actuarial valuation using projected unit
credit method as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gain/
losses are immediately taken to the Statement of Profit and
Loss and are not deferred.

M. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
are capitalised during the period of time that is required
to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or
sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of
specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for
capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which
they are incurred.

N. Taxation:

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax
payable on the current period''s taxable income based on
the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in
deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary
differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of
the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end
of the reporting period in India. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to
situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to
interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate
on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements.

Deferred income 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 unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income 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 income tax
asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which the temporary differences are
expected to be received or settled.

The Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimated accounted for on a prospective basis.

B. Investment Property:

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset''s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

C. Intangible Assets:

i. Recognition and Measurement

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, i any. Amortization is done over their estimated useful life or straight line basis from the date that they are available for intended use, subjected to impairment test.

ii. Amortization

Software, which is not an integral part of the related hardware is classified as an intangible asset and is amortized over the useful life of 3 years.

iii. De-recognition of Intangible Assets

Intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.

D. Impairment:

i. Non-financial Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whethei there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life may be impaired. If any such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of an assel is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amounl of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair valueless costs ol disposal and value in use. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in statement of Profit and Loss.

E. Leases:

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period ol time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

(A) Lease Liability

At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are nol paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted usinc incremental borrowing rate.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amounl of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made al

or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.

Subsequent measurement

(A) Lease Liability

Company measure the lease liability by (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the under lying asset.

Impairment

Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

Short term Lease

Short term lease is that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less. A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease. If the Company elected to apply short term lease, the lessee shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis. The lessee shall apply another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee''s benefit.

As a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis over the lease term.

F. Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of Cost and Net Realizable Value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, costs include an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The Net realisable value of work-in-progress

is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.

Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down value below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.

G. Investments and Other Financial Assets:

i. Classification

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

• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through Statement of Profit and Loss), and

• Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company reclassifies debt or equity investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

ii. Measurement

At initial recognition, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss.

(a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost.

(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and recognized in other gains/losses. Interest income from these financial

assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

(c) Fair value through profit and loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

Trade Receivables:

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

iii. Equity Instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company''s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income when the Company''s right to receive payment is established.

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

iv. Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized only when

(a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

(b) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

H. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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 the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

I. Financial Liabilities:

i. Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans, borrowings and payables recognized net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

ii. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the Effective Interest rate (EIR) amortization process.

J. Foreign Currency Translation:

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (''the functional currency''). The Indian Rupee (INR) is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company''s monetary items at the closing rate are recognized as income and expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss, in the period in which they arise.

K. Revenue Recognition:

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company assesses promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of transaction price is allocated.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is asset is transferred to the customer, generally on the delivery of the goods.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold, and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts, schemes, rebates offered by the Company as part of the contract.

The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence

of significant financing component, non-cash component and consideration payable to the customer like return, allowances, trade discounts, liquidated damages and volume rebates.

Sales are disclosed excluding net of sales returns, service tax, value added tax and Goods and Service Tax (GST).

i. Export Incentives

Export incentives are recognized when the right to receive them as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

The benefits accrued under the duty drawback scheme, Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) and RoDTEP as per the Import and export Policy in respect of exports under the said scheme are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the benefit will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. The above benefits have been included under the head ''Export Incentives.''

ii. Other Income

i) Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, gain/loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on foreign currency transactions. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.

L. Employee Benefits:

i. Short-term Obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee''s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

ii. Provident Fund

Contribution towards provident fund for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.

iii. Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Company''s Gratuity Scheme. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company''s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is

determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

iv. Compensated Absences

Entitlement of employees accumulating earned leave and eligibility of compensation or encashment of the same is also a defined benefit obligation and is treated as long term in nature in terms of the policies of the Company for the same. The value of obligation towards the same is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gain/losses are immediately taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.

M. Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

N. Taxation:

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in India. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred income 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 unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income 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 income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled.

1.3 Key Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any change in these estimates and assumptions will generally be reflected in the financial statements in current period or prospectively, unless they are required to be treated retrospectively under relevant accounting standards.

2.1 Significant Accounting Policies and Other Explanatory Notes

A. Property, Plant and Equipment:

i. Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at cost and not depreciated. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful life, then they are accounted and depreciated for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

An Item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

ii. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

iii. Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of the assets(other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the StraightLine Method on the basis of useful lives specified in part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013except plant and equipment ranging from 10 - 20 years. The Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimated accounted for on a prospective basis.

B. Investment Property:

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost,including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Though the Company measures investment property using costbased measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.

C. Intangible Assets:

i. Recognition and measurement

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if any. Amortization is done over their estimated useful life on straight line basis from the date that they are available for intended use, subjected to impairment test.

ii. Amortization

Software, which is not an integral part of the related hardware is classified as an intangible asset and is amortized over the useful life of 3 years.

iii. De- recognition of Intangible Assets:

Intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.

D. Impairment:

i. Non - financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life may be impaired. If any such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair valueless costs of disposal and value in use. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in statement of Profit and Loss.

E Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

(A) Lease Liability

At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using incremental borrowing rate.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.

Subsequent measurement

(A) Lease Liability

Company measure the lease liability by (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

(B) Right-of-use assets

Subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the under lying asset.

Impairment

Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

Short term Lease:

Short term lease is that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less. A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease. If the company elected to apply short term lease, the lessee shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis. The lessee shall apply another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee’s benefit.

As a lessor

Leases for which the company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis over the lease term.

F. Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of Cost and Net Realizable Value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The Net realisable value of work in progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.

Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down value below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.

G Investments and Other Financial Assets:

i. Classification:

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

• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensiveincome, or through Statement of Profit and Loss), and

• Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company reclassifies debt or equity investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

ii. Measurement

At initial recognition, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss.

(a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost.

(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and recognized in other gains/ losses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

(c) Fair value through profit and loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

Trade Receivables:

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

iii. Equity Instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

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

iv. Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized only when

(a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

(b) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

H. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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 the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

I. Financial Liabilities:

i. Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans, borrowings and payables recognized net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

ii. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the Effective Interest rate (EIR) amortization process.

J. Foreign Currency Translation:

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Indian Rupee (INR) is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company’s monetary items at the closing rate are recognized as income and expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss, in the period in which they arise.

K. Derivatives:

Commodity Derivatives:

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the prices of its raw materials. In case of principal raw materials such as copper, aluminum, oil etc, the risks on costing of the Company’s products on account of fluctuations in prices of these materials is quite high. The Company tries to limit the effects of fluctuations in prices of these critical materials by following risk management policies including use of derivatives. For this, the Company enters into derivative buy or sell contracts for these commodities on the MCX Exchange. These contracts are generally not used for trading or speculation purposes.

In case of such derivative contracts, the gain or loss arising on exercise of option or settlement or cancellation are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. The derivative contracts outstanding as at the balance sheet are marked-to-market and corresponding gain or loss recognized on the same.

L. Revenue recognition:

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company assesses promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of transaction price is allocated.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is asset is transferred to the customer, generally on the delivery of the goods.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold, and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts, schemes, rebates offered by the Company as part of the contract.

The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing component, non-cash component and consideration payable to the customer like return, allowances, trade discounts, liquidated damages and volume rebates.

Sales are disclosed excluding net of sales returns, service tax, value added tax and Goods and Service Tax (GST).

i. Dividend income

Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

ii. Export Incentives

Export incentives are recognized when the right to receive them as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

The benefits accrued under the duty drawback scheme Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) and RoDTEPas per the Import and export Policy in respect of exports under the said scheme are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the benefit will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions. The above benefits have been included under the head ‘Export Incentives.’

iii. Insurance Claims

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.

iv. Other Income:

i) Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, gain / loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on foreign currency transactions. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.

ii) Income from Sale of Wind Operated Power is accounted on accrual basis on confirmation of units generated and supplied to the State Electricity Board as per the agreement.

M. Employee benefits:

i. Short-term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee’s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

ii. Provident Fund:

Contribution towards provident fund for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.

iii. Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Company’s Gratuity Scheme. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

iv. Compensated Absences:

Entitlement of employees accumulating earned leave and eligibility of compensation or encashment of the same is also a defined benefit obligation and is treated as long term in nature in terms of the policies of the Company for the same. The value of obligation towards the same is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation using projected unit

credit method as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gain / losses are immediately taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.

N. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

O. Taxation

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in India. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred income 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 unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income 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 income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled.

P. Provisions and Contingencies: i. Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, product warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Long-term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Short term provisions are carried at their redemption value and are not offset against receivables from reimbursements.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. ^ The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense._

ii. Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

iii. Contingent Assets

Contingent Assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Q. Earnings per Share:

i. Basic earnings per share

Basicearnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.

ii. Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

R. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker “CODM” of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment. The Company has monthly review and forecasting procedure in place and CODM reviews the operations of the Company as a whole.

S. Exceptional items:

Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense,pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statements.

2.2 Recent pronouncements:

On March 31, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023. This notification has resulted into following amendments in the existing Accounting Standards which are applicable from April 1, 2023.

1.1 Significant Accounting Policies and Other Explanatory Notes

A. Property, Plant and Equipment:

i. Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at cost and not depreciated. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful life, then they are accounted and depreciated for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

An Item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognized as at April 1, 2016 measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost (except to the extent of any adjustment permissible under other accounting standard) of the property, plant and equipment.

ii. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

iii. Capital Work-in-Progress

Plant and properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying asset, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Such plant and Properties are classified and capitalized to the appropriate categories of Property, Plant and Equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the asset are ready for their intended use.

iv. Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and Capital work in progress) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the Straight Line Method on the basis of useful lives specified in part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimated accounted for on a prospective basis.

B. Intangible Assets:

i. Recognition and measurement

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if any. Amortization is done over their estimated useful life on straight line basis from the date that they are available for intended use, subjected to impairment test.

ii. Amortization

Software, which is not an integral part of the related hardware is classified as an intangible asset and is amortized over the useful life of 3 years.

C. Impairment:

i. Non - financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life may be impaired. If any such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset _belongs._

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in statement of Profit and Loss.

D. Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of Cost and Net Realizable Value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The Net realisable value of work in progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.

Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down value below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.

E. Investments and Other Financial Assets:

i. Classification:

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

- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through Statement of Profit and Loss), and

- Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company reclassifies debt or equity investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

ii. Measurement

At initial recognition, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss.

(a) Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost.

(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and recognized in other gains/ losses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

(c) Fair value through profit and loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

iii. Equity Instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

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

iv. Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized only when

(a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

(b) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

F. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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 the operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

G. Financial Liabilities:

i. Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans, borrowings and payables recognized net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

ii. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the Effective Interest rate (EIR) amortization process.

H. Foreign Currency Translation:

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Indian Rupee (INR) is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company’s monetary items at the closing rate are recognized as income and expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss, in the period in which they arise.

I. Derivatives: Commodity Derivatives:

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the prices of its raw materials. In case of principal raw materials such as copper, aluminum, oil etc, the risks on costing of the Company’s products on account of fluctuations in prices of these materials is quite high. The Company tries to limit the effects of fluctuations in prices of these critical materials by following risk management policies including use of derivatives. For this, the Company enters into derivative buy or sell contracts for these commodities on the MCX Exchange. These contracts are generally not used for trading or speculation purposes.

In case of such derivative contracts, the gain or loss arising on exercise of option or settlement or cancellation are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. The derivative contracts outstanding as at the balance sheet are marked-to-market and corresponding gain or loss recognized on the same.

J. Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is possible that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into the account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxed or duties collected on behalf of the government.

i. Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the terms of contracts and no significant uncertainty exist regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods.

ii. Interest income

Interest income from the financial assets is recognized on a time basis, by reference to the principle outstanding using the effective interest method provided it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the interest will flow to the Company and the amount of interest can be measured reliably. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of that financial asset.

iii. Other Income:

i) Export incentives are recognized when the right to receive them as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

ii) Other income is accounted for on accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt basis.

iii) Claims/Insurance Claim etc are accounted for when no significant uncertainties are attached to their eventual receipts.

iv) Income from Sale of Wind Operated Power is accounted on accrual basis on confirmation of units generated and supplied to the State Electricity Board as per the agreement.

K. Employee benefits:

i. Short-term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee’s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

ii. Provident Fund:

Contribution towards provident fund for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.

iii. Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Company’s Gratuity Scheme. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

iv. Compensated Absences:

Entitlement of employees accumulating earned leave and eligibility of compensation or encashment of the same is also a defined benefit obligation and is treated as long term in nature in terms of the policies of the Company for the same. The value of obligation towards the same is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gain / losses are immediately taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.

L. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

M. Income tax:

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in India. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

N. Provisions and Contingencies:

i. Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, product warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Long-term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Short term provisions are carried at their redemption value and are not offset against receivables from reimbursements.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

ii. Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

iii. Contingent Assets

Contingent Assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

O. Earnings per Share:

1. Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.

ii. Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

P. Leases:

Lease in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases.

As a lessee

Payments made under operating leases (net of incentives received from the lessor) are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases.

The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

Q. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker “CODM” of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment. The Company has monthly review and forecasting procedure in place and CODM reviews the operations of the Company as a whole.

R. Exceptional items:

Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statements.

b. Use of Estimates :

The Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements as per the above bases required the management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of incomes and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimated.

c. Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets ( as well as intangible assets, not being internally generated assets ) are generally stated at cost of acquisition net of accumulated depreciation. Certain Fixed Assets which were revalued in 1995 are stated at the revalued cost.

Costs of subsequent expenditures relating to an item of fixed assets are added to its book value if they make a substantial addition to its value or increase the future benefits from the same beyond their previously assessed standard of performance.

Cost includes taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition, but excluding the element of excise duty & VAT for which credit has been availed.
