Provisions
General
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as
a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,
under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when
the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the
statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities exist 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 or
the amount cannot be reliably estimated. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability
but discloses its existence and other required disclosures in notes to the standalone financial
statements, unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company
has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company
recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee
renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before
the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme
is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already
paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess
is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction
in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be
made to a separately administered fund.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected
unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised
immediately in the standalone balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained
earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur.
Re-measurements are not reclassified to statement of profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense
in the standalone statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs; and
- Net interest expense or income
Long term employee benefits:
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as
short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the
additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated
at the reporting date. The Company recognizes expected cost of short-term employee benefit as
an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as
long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences
are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the
reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss
and are not deferred. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the standalone balance
sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement for at least twelve
months after the reporting date.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised
cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset''s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company''s business model for managing them.
With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component,
the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial
asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not
contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined
under Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies in section (d) Revenue from contracts
with customers.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value
through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ''solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI)'' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the
SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are
not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the
business model.
The Company''s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its
financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash
flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model
with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while
financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business
model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments at amortised cost (debt instruments)
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) with
recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
- Debt instruments at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and
losses upon derecognition (debt instruments)
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial asset at amortised cost (debt instruments)
A ''debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting
contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial
assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method and are subject to impairment as per the accounting policy applicable to ''Impairment
of financial assets''. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is
included in other income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company''s financial assets at amortized
costs include trade receivables, loans to subsidiaries and interest thereon, security deposits
and other receivables grouped under other current financial assets.
Financial asset at Fair Value through OCI (FVTOCI) (debt instruments)
A ''debt instrument'' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash
flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The asset''s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each
reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in other comprehensive
income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses &
reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition
of the asset, the cumulative fair value changes previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from
equity to statement of profit and loss.
The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTOCI.
Financial asset designated at Fair Value through OCI (equity instruments)
Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments
as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of
equity under Ind AS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The
classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes
on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of
the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. Dividends
are recognised as other income in the statement of profit and loss when the right of payment
has been established, except when the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery
of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity
instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
The Company had elected to irrevocably classify its non-listed equity investment (other than
investment in subsidiaries) under this category when it was initially recognised.
Financial asset at Fair Value through profit and loss
Financial assets in this category are those that are held for trading and have been either
designated by management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be
measured at fair value under Ind AS 109 i.e. they do not meet the criteria for classification as
measured at amortised cost or FVOCI. Management only designates an instrument at FVTPL
upon initial recognition, if the designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent
treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognising
gains or losses on them on a different basis. Such designation is determined on an instrument-
by-instrument basis. For the Company, this category includes derivative instruments and
balances receivable from commodity broker.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value
with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s standalone
balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay
to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but
has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has
entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the
risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of
the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues
to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In
that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is
measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount
of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model
for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and
credit risk exposure:
a. Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g.,
loans, debt securities, deposits,
b. Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
c. Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset
that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115 (referred to as
''Trade receivables'')
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
- Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
- Loans and other financial assets
The application of simplified approach does not require the company to track changes in
credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime Expected Credit
Loss (ECL) at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized
as expense (or income) in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under
the head ''other expenses'' in the statement of profit and loss. The standalone balance sheet
presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
- Financial assets measured as at amortised cost and contractual revenue receivables: ECL
is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets
in the standalone balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until
the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance
from the gross carrying amount.
- Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in
the standalone balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial
instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating
an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on
a timely basis.
(b) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition, measurement and presentation
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings
including bank overdrafts, derivative financial instruments, lease liabilities and other
financial liabilities.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading
and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or
loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose
of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments
entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge
relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss
Financial liabilities are designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss
only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value
gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains /
losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such
liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any
financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial Liability at amortized costs (Loans and borrowings)
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing
loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance
costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to borrowings. For more information refer note 18.
The Company has established supplier finance arrangements (Refer Note 22). The Company
evaluates whether financial liabilities covered such arrangements continue to be classified
within trade payables, or they need to be classified as a borrowing or as part of other financial
liabilities / as a separate line item on the face of the balance sheet. Such evaluation requires
exercise of judgment basis specific terms of the arrangement.
The Company classifies financial liabilities covered under supplier finance arrangement within
trade payables in the balance sheet only if (i) the obligation represents a liability to pay for
goods and services, (ii) is invoiced and formally agreed with the supplier, (iii) is part of the
working capital used in its normal operating cycle, (iv) the Company is not legally released
from its original obligation to the supplier, and has not assumed a new obligation towards the
bank or another party, and (v) there is no substantial modification to the terms of the liability.
If one or more of the above criteria are not met, the Company derecognises its original liability
towards the supplier and recognise a new liability towards the bank which is classified as bank
borrowing or other financial liability, depending on factors such as whether the Company (i)
has obligation towards bank, (ii) is getting extended credit period such that obligation is no
longer part of its working capital cycle, (iii) is paying interest directly or indirectly, (iv) has
provided guarantee or security, and/ or (v) is recognized as borrower in the bank books.
Cash flows related to liabilities arising from supplier finance arrangements that continue to be
classified in trade payables in the standalone balance sheet are included in operating activities
in the standalone statement of cash flows, when the Company finally settles the liability.
In cases, where the Company has derecognised its original liability towards the supplier and
recognise a new liability towards the bank, the Company has assessed that the bank is acting
as its agent in making payment to the supplier. The payment made by the Company to the
bank towards interest, if any, as well as on settlement is presented as financing cash outflow.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts
is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(c) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
standalone balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the
liabilities simultaneously.
Cash and cash equivalents in the standalone balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to
a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder
of the company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus
element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have
changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period,
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to
hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair
value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured
at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial
liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit
or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later
reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges (hedging the
exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to foreign currency risk associated with
External Commercial Borrowings).
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the
hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature
of the risk being hedged, and how the Company will assess whether the hedging relationship meets
the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness
and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it
meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
- There is ''an economic relationship'' between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
- The effect of credit risk does not ''dominate the value changes'' that result from that
economic relationship.
- The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity
of the hedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging
instrument that the Company actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below:
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the
Effective portion of cash flow hedges, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in
the statement of profit and loss. The Effective portion of cash flow hedges is adjusted to the lower
of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of
the hedged item.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency
risk in respect of principal portion of the External Commercial Borrowings.
The Company designates only the spot element of a forward contract as a hedging instrument. The
forward element is recognised in OCI. The amount accumulated in OCI is reclassified to statement
of profit or loss as reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the
hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.
If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI must
remain in accumulated OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise,
the amount will be immediately reclassified to statement of profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment. After discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in
accumulated OCI must be accounted for depending on the nature of the underlying transaction as
described above.
If the Company receives information after the reporting period, but prior to the date of approval
for issue of financial statements, about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, it
will assess whether the information affects the amounts that it recognises in its standalone financial
statements. The Company will adjust the amounts recognised in its standalone financial statements
to reflect any adjusting events after the reporting period and update the disclosures that relate to
those conditions in light of the new information. For non-adjusting events after the reporting period,
the Company will not change the amounts recognised in its standalone financial statements but will
disclose the nature of the non-adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement
that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company''s standalone financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based on its assumptions and
estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes
or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the
assumptions when they occur.
Deferred tax assets are recognised on unabsorbed depreciation since these losses do not have any
expiry and will offset the deferred tax liability over the period when the deferred tax liabilities reverse.
Deferred tax assets are recognized on carry-forward business losses and disallowances with finite life
for allowance only to the extent that management projections provide evidence that these losses/
disallowances could be recovered within the expiry period. Management assesses the recoverability
of deferred tax assets created on business losses and finite life disallowances on an annual basis and
significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can
be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits that would be available
for set-off against these losses and disallowances, together with future tax planning strategies.
Based on the annual assessment performed by the management considering the changes in the business
scenario for determining recoverability of deferred tax assets created, the Company has not created
deferred tax assets on unabsorbed tax losses carried forward of INR 8,099.47 million (31 March 2024:
INR 8,099.47 million) and on unclaimed Section 94B disallowance of INR 3,906.26 million (31 March 2024:
2,928.90 million). The Company has a history of losses and there is lack of reasonable certainty regarding
opportunities available for utilization of these balances.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the standalone financial statements. Where an indication
of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately
to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less costs of
disposal and value in use. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The recoverable amount calculation is based on a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model or fair value of
underlying assets and liabilities of the subsidiary (in case of non-operating subsidiaries). The cash flows
are based on projections approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and do not include
restructuring activities that the company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that
will enhance the asset''s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to
the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth
rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount
for the different investments are disclosed in Note 5.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial
valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to
the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly
sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The calculation is most sensitive to change in the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount
rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds here
remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term of defined benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change
only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are
based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 39.
2.3 New and amended standards.
The following standards and amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024.
The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is
not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification
dated 12th August 2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024,
which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts
covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104
Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of
entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary
participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model,
supplemented by:
⢠A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
⢠A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material impact on the Company''s standalone financial
statements as the Company has not entered any contracts in the nature of insurance contracts covered
under Ind AS 117.
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which
amended Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability
arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of
the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendment is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback
transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company''s financial statements.
A. Assets under construction
Capital work in progress comprises expenditure incurred for construction of plant and machinery and building
including material procured for plant improvements related to environment, health and safety, for machineries
at packing units at multiple plants and other projects.
B. Capitalisation of borrowing cost.
During the current year as well as previous year, the company has not capitalised any borrowing cost since
the company has not availed any long term loans for acquisition of property, plant and equipment which
fulfills the condition of Ind AS 23.
C. Revaluation of land, buildings and plant, machinery and equipment
During the year ended 31st March 2022, the Company had appointed a registered independent valuer who
has relevant valuation experience for valuation of property, plant and equipment in India of more than 10 years
and is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017,
to determine the fair value of freehold land, building, plant and machineries and leasehold land (forming part
of right of use assets). As an outcome of this process, during the year ended 31st March 2022, the Company
had recognised decrease in the gross block of freehold land of INR 47.35 million and leasehold land included
under right of use assets of INR 58.71 million and increase in building of INR 2,036.10 million and plant and
machineries of INR 1,743.72 million. The Company had recognised this increase within the revaluation reserve
and statement of other comprehensive income.
The Company determined these fair values after considering physical condition of the asset, technical usability
/ capacity, salvage value, quotes from independent vendors. The fair value of land is determined using market
approach and building, plant, machinery and equipment using Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC). The DRC
is derived from the Gross Current Reproduction / Replacement Cost (GCRC) which is reduced by considering
depreciation. The fair value measurement was classified under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In the current year,
the company has assessed that there is no significant change in the fair value of land, building, plant and machinery
and leasehold land from existing carrying value of land, building, plant and machinery and leasehold land.
Note 5 (a): Investment in subsidiaries are carried at cost in financial statements. Wherever indicators of impairment
exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The recoverable
amount calculation is based on a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model. Value in use is calculated using cash flow
projections covering a five-year forecast considering growth rate of 3%, applying a discount rate of 11.20% - 14.96%
to the cash flow projections. During current year the Company has recognised an impairment allowance of INR Nil
(31st March 2024: INR 116.27 million) in respect of its investment in Gokak Sugars Limited.
Note 5 (b): The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 24th May 2022, approved the Scheme of Amalgamation
of wholly owned subsidiaries namely Monica Trading Private Limited (MTPL), Shree Renuka Agri Ventures Limited
(SRAVL), and Shree Renuka Tunaport Private Limited (SRTPL), with the Company. The company received the
certified copy of the order of the Bengaluru Bench of National Company Law Tribunal approving the merger of the
aforesaid Wholly Owned Subsidiaries on 8th November 2024. The order became effective on 6th December 2024
and accordingly the effect of merger is given in these financial statements.
Note 5 (c): Investments at fair value through OCI (fully paid) reflect investment in unquoted equity securities.
These equity shares are designated as FVTOCI as they are not held for trading purpose and are not in similar
line of business as the Company. Thus, disclosing their fair value fluctuation in profit or loss will not reflect the
purpose of holding.
Deferred tax assets are recognised on unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The company''s defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan
for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Act, employee who has completed
five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length
of service and salary at retirement age. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC). The company''s obligation in respect of gratuity plan is provided based on the acturial valuation. The company
recognises actuial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income net of taxes.
Salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Risk to the plan
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result
into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than
the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death
benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of
the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption
than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the
benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer
may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is
independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded
status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of
benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
D. Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets.
One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time
value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan
benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence
the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change
in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring
the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the
Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such
amendment is effective.
Actuarial Assumptions
The rate used to discount other long term employee benefit obligation (both funded and unfunded) is determined
by reference to market yield at the balance sheet date on high quality government bonds.
This is Management''s estimate of the increases in the salaries of the employees over the long term. Estimated
future salary increases should take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as
supply and demand in the employment market.
This assumption is required only in case of funded plans. Interest income on plan assets is calculated using the rate
used to discount the defined benefit obligation.
Domestic sales are made to related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm''s
length transaction and in the ordinary course of business. The company has same policy for deciding the
sales price for related parties & non-related parties. Sales are made on the basis of 15 days credit period.
Credit is extended to the specific trade parties only.
Export sales are made to related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm''s
length transaction and in the ordinary course of business. The sales prices negotiated with related and
non-related parties is based on white sugar prices prevailing in international markets (i.e., Intercontinental
Exchange [ICE]) and premium/discount on sales is mutually agreed between the parties based on
existing market conditions, terms of delivery and other factors. Payments are made in 100% cash against
submission of documents to the customer.
Trade receivables outstanding balances are unsecured, interest free and require settlement in cash. No
guarantee or other security has been received against these receivables. The amounts are recoverable
within 15 to 30 days from the reporting date (31st March 2024: 15 to 30 days from the reporting date). For
the year ended 31st March 2025, the company has recorded impairment on receivables due from related
parties of INR Nil (31st March 2024: Nil).
Purchase of raw sugar: The company purchases raw sugar from a related party at prices mutually agreed
upon. The base prices are linked to international raw sugar price prevailing on ICE along with premium
prevailing as per market circumstances and globally prevailing freight charges. This benchmark reflects
the cost-of-delivery (FOB) for shipments loaded onto vessels at the country of origin. To arrive at the
final contract price, adjustments are made to the ICE price to account for the sugar''s polarization level,
applicable physical quality premiums, and pertinent futures-market spreads. These purchases include a
payment term of 180 days and interest is payable from the

C. Revaluation of land, buildings and plant, machinery and equipment :
During the year ended 31st March 2022, the Company had appointed a registered independent valuer who has relevant valuation experience for valuation of property, plant and equipment in India of more than 10 years and is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017, to determine the fair value of freehold land, building, plant and machineries and leasehold land (forming part of right of use assets). As an outcome of this process, during the year ended 31st March 2022, the Company had recognised decrease in the gross block of freehold land of INR 47.35 million and leasehold land included under right of use assets of INR 58.71 million and increase in building of INR 2,036.10 million and plant and machineries of INR 1,743.72 million. The Company had recognised this increase within the revaluation reserve and statement of other comprehensive income.
The Company determined these fair values after considering physical condition of the asset, technical usability / capacity, salvage value, quotes from independent vendors. The fair value of land is determined using market approach and building, plant, machinery and equipment using Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC). The DRC is derived from the Gross Current Reproduction / Replacement Cost (GCRC) which is reduced by considering depreciation.
D. Impairment assessment of CGU :
As per the requirements of Ind AS 36, the Company tests at the end of every reporting period, whether there is any indication that the property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. There were no impairment indicators during the year ended 31st March 2024.
Note 5 (a): Investment in subsidiaries are carried at cost in financial statements. Wherever indicators of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The recoverable amount calculation is based on a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model. Value in use is calculated using cash flow projections covering a five-year forecast considering growth rate of 3%, applying a discount rate of 11.82% - 15.52% to the cash flow projections. During the year Company recognised an impairment allowance of INR 116.27 million in respect of its investment in Gokak Sugar Limited.

Deferred tax assets are recognised on unabsorbed depreciation since these losses do not have any expiry and will offset the deferred tax liability over the period when the deferred tax liabilities reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized on carry-forward business losses and disallowances with finite life for allowance only to the extent that management projections provides evidence that these losses/disallowances could be recovered within the expiry period. Management assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets created on business losses and finite life disallowances on an annual basis and significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits that would be available for set-off against these losses and disallowances, together with future tax planning strategies.

It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Investment Risk
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C. Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
D. Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
Actuarial Assumptions
Key actuarial assumptions are given below:
Discount Rate:
The rate used to discount other long term employee benefit obligation (both funded and unfunded) is determined by reference to market yield at the balance sheet date on high quality government bonds.
Salary Growth Rate:
This is Management''s estimate of the increases in the salaries of the employees over the long term. Estimated future salary increases should take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Rate of Return on Plan Assets:
This assumption is required only in case of funded plans. Interest income on plan assets is calculated using the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation.
Mortality:
This assumption is based on the standard published mortality table without any adjustment.
Sensitivity analysis performed by varying a single parameter while keeping all the other parameters unchanged. Sensitivity analysis fails to focus on the interrelationship between underlying parameters. Hence, the results may vary if two or more variables are changed simultaneously.
The method used does not indicate anything about the likelihood of change in any parameter and the extent of the change if any.
The sales to and purchases from related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash.
Ultimate holding Wilmar International Limited has provided a letter of comfort to DBS Bank for the short term forward lines made available by the bank to the company.
a. The Company has obtained corporate guarantees from Wilmar International Limited INR 25,612 million (31st March 2023: INR 20,700 million) towards term loans, non-convertible debentures and working capital limits extended by banks.
# Impairment allowance of INR 8.47 million (31st March 2023: INR 13.91 million) has been recognised during the year related to Interest receivable and same is disclosed under "Impairment for advances to vendors and others" note 35. Impairment allowance of INR 35.74 million (31st March 2023: Nil) has been recognised during the year related to loan receivable and same is disclosed under "Impairment for advances to vendors and others" in note 35.
Impairment of amounts owed by related parties
As at 31st March 2024, the company has accumulated impairment of INR 13,604.95 million (31st March 2023: INR 13,560.74 million) against total gross amount owed by related parties of INR 17,194.47 million (31st March 2023: INR 16,554.62 million).
This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
Note 42: Hedging activities and derivatives
During the year ended 31st March 2021, Company has obtained External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) from its Holding Company, Wilmar Sugar and Energy Pte. Ltd. amounting to USD 300 million. The Company is also exposed to certain foreign currency risks relating to its on-going business operations. The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk.
The risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk are explained in note 44.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and thus, these contracts are accounted as financial instruments without hedge accounting.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Cash flow hedges Foreign currency risk:
Foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of outstanding ECB loan which has been denominated in USD.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts match the terms of the hedged item. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
a. The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items.
The Company is holding the following foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments:
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts. The fair value are classified under Level 3 Fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of the unquoted equity shares of National Commodity Derivative Exchange Limited(NCDEX) at FVTOCI has been estimated on the basis of market multiple method using the price to book value ratio of comparable quoted investments, adjusted for certain significant unobservable inputs like company specific risk and discount for lack of marketability.
The fair values of the Company''s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash flow method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at 31st March 2024 was assessed to be insignificant.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties and foreign exchange spot and forward rates. There was no change observed in counterparty credit risk to have any material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
Note 44: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The senior management provides assurance that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees for managing each of these risks.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign exchange exposure and risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the ECB loan of USD 300 million availed from its holding Company Wilmar Sugar and Energy Pte. Ltd. and receivables and payables.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk for principal portion of ECB by hedging for a period of 4-6 months. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, the derivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable against operating activities.
At 31st March 2024, the Company has fully hedged the foreign currency exposure related to principal portion of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) loan for 4 to 6 months using foreign currency forward contracts and expects to roll-forward these hedges in the future periods to hedge the foreign currency risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Commodity price in sugar industry is impacted by multiple factors such as international sugar price, government regulations, quantity of sugar production in the relevant period, etc. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products. The following table shows effect of changes in various commodity prices on the profit/(loss) of the Company.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, thereby leading to a financial loss. The Company conduct thorough credit assessments before granting credit terms and limits to customers, who are then monitored closely for adherence. Company''s export sales are executed against advance or receipt against submission of documents. The Company''s domestic sugar sales are primarily made to corporate customers, who are provided credit terms after thorough credit assessments and thereby, credit default risk is not significant for these customers. Other domestic sugar sales are primarily made on receipt of advance amount before goods are dispatched. Further, ethanol is sold to public sector undertakings and power is supplied to corporations run by state government, thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms of 7 to 60 days.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on credit loss expected on the ageing of receivable balances (which is formulated based on past history of collections and existing business conditions). The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The ageing analysis of the receivables (net of expected credit loss) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.
The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures, financial support from parent etc. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of Company''s management is to maximise shareholder''s value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no significant breaches in the financial and non financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in the financial condition.
*The interest rates were been changed from 9% to 11% during the current year.
The loans given to subsidiaries have been utilized for meeting their working capital requirements.
b) Investments made are disclosed in note 5.
c) Corporate guarantees given by the Company are disclosed in note 38(b).

Leases of land have a lease term of 30 years and 90 years, building generally 3 years and 5 years and plant 17 years and 30 years. The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

Capital work in progress as at 31st March 2023 comprises of expenditure incurred for construction of building and plant and machinery pertaining to ethanol expansion project at one plant of the Company of INR 970.34 million and this project is expected to be completed by 30th September 2023.
The other costs comprises expenditure incurred for construction of plant and machinery and building including material procured for multiple projects at other plants.
During the current year, the Company has capitalized borrowing costs related to ethanol expansion projects being undertaken at two manufacturing units of the Company, i.e., Athani and Munoli.
The above-mentioned capital expansion is financed by Bank. The amount of borrowing cost capitalised during the year is INR 187.30 million (31st March 2022: INR 41.17 million). The rate used to determine amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is 4.44% (31st March 2022: 4.33%), which is the EIR of those specific borrowings.
During the previous year ended 31st March 2022, the Company had appointed a registered independent valuer who has relevant experience for valuation of property, plant and equipment and is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The valuer was appointed to determine the fair value of freehold land, building, plant and machineries and leasehold land (forming part of right of use assets). As an outcome of this process, the Company had recognised decrease in the gross block of freehold land of INR 47.35 million and leasehold land included under right of use assets of INR 58.71 million and increase in building of INR 2,036.10 million and plant and machineries of INR 1,743.72 million. The Company recognised this increase within the revaluation reserve and statement of other comprehensive income during the previous year.
The fair values were determined after considering physical condition of the asset, technical usability / capacity, salvage value, quotes from independent vendors. The fair value of land was determined using market approach and building, plant, machinery and equipment using Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC). The DRC was derived from the Gross Current Reproduction / Replacement Cost (GCRC) which is reduced by considering depreciation. The fair value measurement was classified under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As per the requirements of Ind AS 36, the Company tests at the end of every reporting period, whether there is any indication that the property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. There were no indicators during the year ended 31st March 2023.
Note 5 (a): Based on the request received from KBK Chem-Engineering Private Limited (âKBK''), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and approval of the Board of Directors of SRSL, loan given to KBK was partially converted into equity shares of the subsidiary. KBK issued 230,628 shares of INR 3,252/share (at a premium of INR 3,152/share), on conversion loan of INR 750 million into equity. The loan was converted into equity share capital based on the valuation report of KBK received by the Company from a registered valuer for the year ended 31st March 2022. Since the value of investment after conversion of loan exceeded the fair value of investment of KBK, as certified by the valuer, management recorded an impairment provision of INR 750 million on the value of investment. Also, the impairment recognized in earlier years on loan balance converted into equity of INR 750 million was reversed on conversion of the loan. Thus, the provision for impairment of investment of INR 750 million and reversal of provision for doubtful loan receivable of INR 750 million, recorded in the current period had a net impact of INR Nil on the Statement of Profit and Loss and thus, were presented as net off each other in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Note 5 (b): Investment in Gokak Sugars Limited is carried at cost in financial statements.

Litigation pertaining to short sanction of GST refund claim have not been considered as contingent liability, since the Company would get credit in electronic ledger for the amount of refund that is rejected and thus, there would be no loss of asset for the Company on the outcome of this litigation, i.e., the Company would either get the refund or the Company would retain the credit in the electronic ledger.
iv. Disputes related to penalty levied for non-payment of Special Additional Duty (SAD) at the time of import of goods (which was subsequently paid by the Company along with interest) and duty levied on the imported goods on the context of wrong classification / availing incorrect exemption.

The Company has paid deposits of INR 154.30 million as at 31st March 2023 (31st March 2022: INR 104.26 million) for contesting the order in Higher Courts in Brazil and this deposit paid has been grouped under âAmount paid under protests to government authorities" in the balance sheet. This balance is fully impaired in the books of accounts as at 31st March 2023.
vi. Other matters mainly consist of litigations related to claims filed against customers / vendors for recovery of receivable / advance balances and other legal suites.
vii. During the year ended 31st March 2023, Cane Commissioner of Karnataka issued orders directing all sugar mills in the state of Karnataka to make payments to sugarcane farmers at additional rates over and above the Fair Remunerative Price (FRP) announced by the Central Government as follows:
a. INR 100/MT for sugarcane supplied to mills without distillery
b. INR 150/MT for sugarcane supplied to mills with distillery
The Company along with others has filed a writ petition in Karnataka High Court against the order of the Cane Commissioner. Based on legal opinion obtained by the Company, management believes that the Company has merits and accordingly, no impact has been considered in the standalone financial results in respect of this matter.
Note 39: Defined Benefit plans
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The companies defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at retirement age. The fund has the form of a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
The rate used to discount long term employee benefit obligation (both funded and unfunded) will be determined by reference to market yield at the balance sheet date on high quality government bonds.
This is Management''s estimate of the increases in the salaries of the employees over the long term. Estimated future salary increases should take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
This assumption is required only in case of funded plans. Interest income on plan assets is calculated using the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation.
The sales to and purchases from related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash.
a. The Company has obtained corporate guarantees from Wilmar International Limited INR 20,700 million (31st March 2022: INR 17,200 million) towards term loan and working capital limits extended by banks.
b. The Company has also provided guarantees on behalf of subsidiaries amounting to INR 580 million (31st March 2022: INR 130 million) for loan availed by the subsidiaries. Details of which are as follows:
As at 31st March 2023, the company has accumulated impairment of INR 13,560.74 million (31st March 2022: INR 14,301.34 million) against total gross amount owed by related parties of INR 16,554.62 million (31st March 2022: INR 17,955.83 million).
This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
Note 42: Hedging activities and derivatives
The Company has obtained External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) during the financial year ended 31st March 2021 from its Holding Company, Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd. amounting to USD 300 million. The Company is also exposed to certain foreign currency risks relating to its on-going business operations. The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk.
The risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk are explained in note 44.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from 2 to 4 months .
Foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of outstanding ECB loan which has been denominated in USD.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts match the terms of the hedged item. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
a. The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged
items
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts. The fair value are classified under Level 3 Fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of the unquoted equity shares of National Commodity Derivative Exchange Limited(NCDEX) at FVTOCI has been estimated on the basis of price to book value multiple of comparable quoted investments, adjusted for significant certain unobservable inputs like business risk discount and liquidity discount.
The fair values of the Company''s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash flow method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own nonperformance risk as at 31st March 2023 was assessed to be insignificant.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties and foreign exchange spot and forward rates. There was no change observed in counterparty credit risk to have any material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 31st March 2023 and 31st March 2022 are as shown below :
There have been transfers of Investment in equity shares in NCDEX from Level 2 to level 3 as offer received by the Company to sell its shareholding has been withdrawn and calculation of fair value is based on price to book value multiple of comparable quoted investments, adjusted for certain significant unobservable inputs like business risk discount and liquidity risk discount used in calculation of fair value.
Note 44: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The senior management provides assurance that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The board of directors reviews and agrees for managing each of these risks.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the ECB loan of USD 300 million availed from its holding company Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd. and other foreign currency receivables and payables.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by hedging for period of 6 months. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, the derivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable against operating activities.
At 31st March 2023, the Company has fully hedged the foreign currency exposure related to principal portion of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) loan for 4 to 6 months using foreign currency forward contracts and expects to roll-forward these hedges in the future periods to hedge the foreign currency risks. The Company has also obtained foreign currency forward contracts to cover the foreign currency risks related to receivable in foreign currency and these contracts have a tenure of 3 months.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company manages its interest risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
Commodity price in sugar industry is impacted by multiple factors such as international sugar price, government regulations, quantity of sugar production in the relevant period, etc. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products. The following table shows effect of changes in various commodities on the profit of the Company.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, thereby leading to a financial loss. The Company conduct thorough credit assessments before granting credit terms and limits to customers, who are then monitored closely for adherence. Company''s export sales are executed against advance or receipt against submission of documents. The Company''s domestic sugar sales are primarily made to corporate customers, who are provided credit terms after thorough credit assessments and thereby, credit default risk is not significant for these customers. Other domestic sugar sales are primarily made on receipt of advance amount before goods are dispatched. Further, ethanol is sold to public sector undertakings and power is supplied to corporations run by state government, thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms of 7 to 60 days. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data of expected credit loss, actual credit loss and party-wise review of credit risk. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The ageing analysis of the receivables (net of expected credit loss) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.
The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures, financial support from parents etc. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of Company''s management is to maximise shareholder''s value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial and non-financial covenants (if any) and maximise shareholder''s wealth. There have been no significant breaches in the financial and non financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in the financial condition.
Company as a lessee
The Company has lease contracts for various land, building and plant. Leases of land have a lease term of 30 years and 90 years, building generally 3 years and 5 years and plant 17 years and 30 years. The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

The Company recognised this increase within the revaluation reserve and statement of other comprehensive income.
The Company determined these fair values after considering physical condition of the asset, technical usability / capacity, salvage value, quotes from independent vendors. The fair value of land is determined using market approach and building, plant, machinery and equipment using Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC). The DRC is derived from the Gross Current Reproduction / Replacement Cost (GCRC) which is reduced by considering depreciation. The fair value measurement will be classified under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
During the previous year, one of the refineries of the Company was affected by super cyclone Amphan and few assets were damaged. The Company had lodged a claim with Insurance company to recover the losses incurred. However, on prudent basis and in compliance with Ind AS 16, company had accounted for loss of INR 148.70 million in the previous year for damaged assets and the same was charged to the statement of profit and loss and grouped under other expenses.
As per the requirements of Ind AS 36, the Company tests at the end of every reporting period, whether there is any indication that the property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
During the previous year, as indicators existed, the Company performed impairment assessment with respect to certain specific Cash Generating Unit (CGU). The recoverable amount was determined using value in use approach based on cashflow projections which were discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate of 11.17%. As a result of this analysis, management had identified and recognized an impairment allowance of INR 1,152.00 million during the year ended 31st March 2021. An impairment loss of INR 24.05 million adjusted against previously recognized revaluation reserve for this CGU has been disclosed in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and balance amount of impairment loss of INR 1,127.95 million grouped under exceptional items in the statement of profit and loss (refer note 36).
The Company has determined the fair value of these assets under revaluation model during the year ended 31st March 2022.

Note 39: Defined Benefit plans
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The companies defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at retirement age. The fund has the form of a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.
Salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.
A. Actuarial Risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Investment Risk
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C. Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
D. Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
Key actuarial assumptions are given below:
Discount Rate:
The rate used to discount other long term employee benefit obligation (both funded and unfunded) will be determined by reference to market yield at the balance sheet date on high quality government bonds.
Salary Growth Rate:
This is Management''s estimate of the increases in the salaries of the employees over the long term. Estimated future salary increases should take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Rate of Return on Plan Assets:
This assumption is required only in case of funded plans. Interest income on plan assets is calculated using the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation.
a. The Company has obtained corporate guarantees from Wilmar International Limited INR 17,200 million (31st March 2021: INR 14,400 million) towards term loan and working capital limits extended by banks.
As at 31st March 2022, the Company has accumulated impairment of INR 14,301.34 million (31st March 2021: INR 19,438.31 million) against total gross amount owed by related parties of INR 17,955.84 million (31st March 2021: INR 23,653.83 million).
This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
Note 42: Hedging activities and derivatives
During the previous year, Company has obtained External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) from its Holding Company, Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd. amounting to USD 300 million. The Company is also exposed to certain foreign currency risks relating to its on-going business operations. The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk.
The risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk are explained in note 44.
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from 2 to 4 months .
Foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of outstanding ECB loan which has been denominated in USD.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts match the terms of the hedged item. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
Fair value of the unquoted equity shares of National Commodity Derivative Exchange Limited(NCDEX) at FVTOCI has been estimated on the basis of price to book value multiple of comparable quoted investments, adjusted for significant certain unobservable inputs like business risk discount and liquidity discount.
The fair values of the Company''s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash flow method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at 31st March 2022 was assessed to be insignificant.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties and foreign exchange spot and forward rates. There was no change observed in counterparty credit risk to have any material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 31st March 2022, 31st March 2021 are as shown below:
Note 44: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The senior management provides assurance that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The board of directors reviews and agrees for managing each of these risks.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the ECB loan of USD 300 million availed from its holding company Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd. and receivables and payables.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by hedging for period of 6 months. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, the derivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable against operating activities.
At 31st March 2022, the Company has fully hedged the foreign currency exposure related to principal portion of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) loan for 5 months using foreign currency forward contracts and expects to roll-forward these hedges in the future periods to hedge the foreign currency risks. The Company has also obtained foreign currency forward contracts to cover the foreign currency risks related to receivable and other payable balances in foreign currency and these contracts have a tenure between 1 to 3 months.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company manages its interest risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
Commodity price in sugar industry is impacted by multiple factors such as international sugar price, government regulations, quantity of sugar production in the relevant period, etc. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products. The following table shows effect of changes in various commodities on the profit of the Company.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, thereby leading to a financial loss. The Company conduct thorough credit assessments before granting credit terms and limits to customers, who are then monitored closely for adherence. Company''s export sales are executed against advance or receipt against submission of documents. The Company''s domestic sugar sales are primarily made to corporate customers, who are provided credit terms after thorough credit assessments and thereby, credit default risk is not significant for these customers. Other domestic sugar sales are primarily made on receipt of advance amount before goods are dispatched. Further, ethanol is sold to public sector undertakings and power is supplied to corporations run by state government, thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms of 7 to 60 days. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data of expected credit loss, actual credit loss and party-wise review of credit risk. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The ageing analysis of the receivables (net of expected credit loss) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of Company''s management is to maximise shareholder''s value. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no significant breaches in the financial and non financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

Company as a lessee
The Company has lease contracts for various land, building and plant. Leases of land have a lease term of 30 years and 90 years, building generally 3 years and 5 years and plant 17 years and 30 years. The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.
The Company also has certain leases of building and leases of office with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the ''short-term lease'' and ''lease of low-value assets'' recognition exemptions for these leases.
The Company had total cash outflows for leases of INR 21.85 million (31st March 2021: INR 15.55 million) during the financial year ended 31st March 2022. The Company do not have any future cash outflows relating to leases that have not yet commenced.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Shree Renuka Sugars Limited (âSRSLâ or âthe Companyâ) is a public company incorporated and domiciled in India. The Companyâs shares are listed on the BSE Ltd and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The registered office of the company is located at BC 105 Havelock Road, Camp, Belagavi - 590001.
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacturing of sugar, ethyl alcohol and ethanol and generation and sale of power.
The financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on 3rd May 2018.
1.1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
i. Basis of Preparation:
The financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, (as amended from time to time).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amount:
- Land, buildings and plant and machinery classified as property, plant and equipment
- Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments).
The financial statements are prepared in INR and all values are rounded off to the nearest Millions except when stated.
2.1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods,
Judgements
I n the process of applying the Companyâs accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements,
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Financial instruments
During the year the Company has entered into framework agreement with its lenders for restructuring its borrowings. As part of the restructuring process the Company has issued 0.01% Non-convertible debentures, redeemable preference shares and optionally convertible preference shares to the lenders. The Company has recognised the new instruments issued at fair value and the difference between the fair value of the instrument and the non-sustainable part of borrowings has been recognised as income on de-recognition of financial liability by the Company.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
The Company measures land, buildings, plant and machinery classified as property, plant and equipment at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognised in OCI. The Company has engaged an independent valuation specialist to assess fair value at 31st March 2016 for revaluation of land, buildings, plant and machinery. Fair value of land and building was determined by using the market comparable method and plant & equipment was determined by using resale value method. The key assumptions used to determine fair value of the property, plant and equipment are provided in Note 3.
impairment of non-financial assets
I mpairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the cashflow estimates for the remaining life of the asset (in case of BOOT) and budget for 5 years in case of other assets and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the assetâs performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs, are disclosed and further explained in Note 3.
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.
The Group has unabsorbed depreciation of Rs.12,314.74 Million (31st March 2017: Rs.11,105.62 Million, 1st April 2016: Rs.9,530.36 Million), unabsorbed tax losses of Rs.22,518.09 million (31st March 2017: Rs.10,361.81 Million, 1st April 2016: Rs.9,663.67 Million) and MAT credit entitlement of Rs.528.90 million (31st March 2017: Rs.528.90 Million, 1st April 2016: Rs.528.90 Million). The unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward for indefinite period, whereas the unabsorbed losses and the MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward for 8 years and 15 years respectively. Based on the future budgeted operational cash-inflows, post the restructuring process, the Company expects to generate taxable income for utilisation of the unabsorbed depreciation, unabsorbed tax losses and MAT credit entitlement.
defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note38.
2.2 STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Companyâs financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 amending the following standard:
ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Ind AS 115 was notified on 28th March 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1st April 2018. The Company will adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the modified retrospective method. The Company has established an implementation team to implement Ind AS 115 related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and it continues to evaluate the changes to accounting system and processes, and additional disclosure requirements that may be necessary. A reliable estimate of the quantitative impact of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible once the implementation project has been completed.
2.3 GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred continuing losses for the year ended 31st March 2018, at standalone level. During the year, the Company has executed debt restructuring scheme and restructured its overall borrowings and settled corporate guarantees issued to its subsidiaries. This has resulted into substantial reduction in the interest outflow for future period and extended the repayment plan in relation to restructured borrowings. Further, the Company expects to generate operational cash-inflows in next twelve months, which will support the Company to meets its near future cash obligations and has also obtained corporate guarantee from Wilmar International Limited to support the outstanding balance of restructured borrowings. Taking these factors into consideration, the Company believes financial information is fairly presented on going concern basis.
2.4 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The Company applied for the first time certain amendments to the standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st April 2017 The nature and the impact of each amendment is described below:
Amendments to ind AS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure initiative
The amendments require entities to provide disclosure of changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). The Company has provided the information for the current period in Note 17.
Amendments to ind AS 102 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions
The amendments to Ind AS 102 Share-based Payment addresses three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash settled to equity settled. On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and other criteria are met. The Company has applied these amendments without restating prior periods. However, their application has no effect on the Companyâs financial position and performance as the Company had no such transaction.
A. Asset under construction
Capital work in progress as at 31st March, 2018 comprises expenditure for the plant and building in the course of construction,
B. Revaluation of land, buildings and plant, machinery and equipment
The management adopted revaluation model for its land, building and plant & equipment and determined that these constitute separate class of assets under Ind AS 113, based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset,
Fair value of the land and building was determined by using the market approach and plant, machinery and equipment was determined by using replacement value method, As at the date of revaluation, the land, building, plant, machinery and equipment fair values are based on valuations performed by an accredited independent valuer who has relevant valuation experience for similar assets in India,
The Company had performed valuation as on 31st March 2016, however management is of the opinion that there is no significant change in fair value of said assets, hence no fair valuation done during the current year,
Significant unobservable valuation input:
The value of land was determined based on condition, location, demand supply in and around and other infrastructure facility available at and around the said plot of land, Land which was based on government promoted industrial estates, was measured on the present fair market value depending on the condition of the said estates, its location and availability of such plots in the said industrial estate,
Building/structural sheds were measured considering the fair market value of the constructed area depending on condition, location and other infrastructural facilities available at and around the said plot in the estate, The fair market value was applied to the building structure after considering the type of construction, quality of workmanship, its maintenance, etc,
The valuation of machinery and other movable assets was based on its present fair market value after allowing for the depreciation of the particular machinery/assets, as well as the present condition of the machinery/assets. The replacement value of the said machinery/assets as well as its maintenance up-keep is considered while working out its present fair market value.
Significant increases/ (decreases) in estimated price per square meter in isolation would result in a significantly higher/ (lower) fair value.
The valuation is classified as level 3 fair value hierarchy due to inclusion of unobservable inputs.
C. impairment
In power segment, due to stiff competition in power industry, the Company do not expect any increase in power rates in coming years, which indicates decrease in recoverable amount from power plant assets. The Company performed its annual impairment test for tangible assets for year ended 31st March, 2018. The Company calculated present value of future cash flows of CGU with the carrying value of asset of CGU. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
During the year ended 31st March 2018, the impairment loss of Rs.486.37 Million is recognised for two plants as discussed below:
The recoverable amount of Power Plant, as at 31st March 2018, has been determined based on a value in use calculated using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management for the period available for use. The Group has used pre-tax discount rate for cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year. As a result of this analysis, management has recognised an impairment charge of Rs.486.37 Million in the current year.
The distillery plant at Pathri amounting to Rs.3725 mn and capital work in progress amounting to Rs.28.76 Million has also been impaired considering not in useâ
Key assumptions used for value in use calculations for power plant
- EBITDA
- Discount rates - Gsec for 10 years plus spread considering market risk and nature of industry
- Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period - NIL As the management doesnât expect the power rate to increase, growth rate in power price is considered as NIL.
EBiTDA- EBITDA is based on expected cane available for crushing and bagasse generated out of it to generate power and the average realisation per unit of power sold. The revenue generated from the sale of power is reduced by the operating expenses (excluding depreciation) to arrive at EBITDA.
**Impariment of unquoted investment in Shree Renuka Global Ventures Ltd
