There is no shortfall in the amount to be incurred for CSR, as the unspent amount in respect of ongoing project identified by the Company is deposited into "unspent CSR Account" within the time period prscribed under Section 135(6) of the Companies Act, 2013.

In terms of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, the Company has identified an ongoing project for Building a School at Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh and has spent part of the CSR amount during the financial year 2024-25 and balance commitment for project amounting to Rs. 254.50 lacs (including excess of Rs 0.08 lacs), outstanding as at year end, and shall be spent in the coming financial year i.e. 2025-26, has been transferred to Unspent Corporate Social Responsibility Account with the Scheduled Bank within 30 days from the end of Current Financial Year as per provision of Section 135(6) of Companies Act, 2013.

i Nature of CSR Activities

As covered under Item No (i) & (iv) of Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013

The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company''s defined benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2025. The Company is expected to contribute Rs.1321.54 lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2026.

The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.

If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by Rs.325.57 Lacs (increase by Rs.348.51 Lacs) as at 31st March 2025.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.345.89 Lacs (decrease by Rs.325.58 Lacs) as at 31st March 2025.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

The Company is examining and reviewing details of the pending matters in consultation with experts and will take appropriate actions, if and when they occur. Company after considering all available information on records, legal position and opinion of experts as on date, is confident that no material tax liabilities will devolve on the Company in respect of above stated matter.

52: Financial Risks Management

In the course of business, amongst others, the Company is exposed to several financial risks such as Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Exchange Risk and Commodity Price Risk. These risks may be caused by the internal and external factors resulting into impairment of the assets of the Company causing adverse influence on the achievement of Company’s strategies, operational and financial objectives, earning capacity and financial position.

The Company has formulated an appropriate policy and established a risk management framework which encompass the following process.

- identify the major financial risks which may cause financial losses to the company

- assess the probability of occurrence and severity of financial losses

- mitigate and control them by formulation of appropriate policies, strategies, structures, systems and procedures

- Monitor and review periodically the adherence, adequacy and efficacy of the financial risk management system.

The Company enterprise risk management system is monitored and reviewed at all levels of management, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors from time to time.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk refers to the risks that arise on default by the counterparty on its contractual obligation resulting into financial loss to the company. The Company may carry this Risk on Trade and other receivables, liquid assets and some of the non current financial assets.

In case of Trade receivables, the Company has framed appropriate policy for extending credits period & limit to each customer based on their profile, financial position and their external rating etc. The collections of trade dues are strictly monitored . In case of Export customers, even credit guarantee insurance is also obtained wherever required.

Company’s exposure to Credit Risk is also influenced by the concentration of risk from top five customers. The details in respect of the % of sales generated from the top customer and top five customers are given hereunder.

Interest Rate Risk

Generally market linked financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk. The Company does not have any market linked financial instruments both on the asset side as well liability side. Hence there is no interest rate risk linked to market rates.

However the interest rate in respect major portion of borrowings by the Company from the banks and others are linked with the Benchmark / Base Prime lending rate of the respective lender and in case of foreign currency borrowings, the same is linked with the LIBOR. Any fluctuation in the same either on higher side or lower side will result into financial loss or gain to the company.

The amount which is subjected to the change in the interest rate is of Rs. 3,53,774.05 lacs out of the total debt of Rs. 3,59,433.88 Lacs.

Based on the Structure of the debt as at year end, one percentage point increase in the interest rate would cause an additional expense in the net financing cost of Rs. 3 537.74 Lacs.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the foreign currency risk from transactions & translation. Transactional exposures are arising from the transactions entered into foreign currency. Management keeps a close watch of the maturity of the financial assets in foreign currency and payment obligations of the financial liabilities.

The credit risk on cash & cash equivalent, investment in fixed deposits, liquid funds and deposits are insignificant as counterparties are banks or mutual funds with high credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies of international repute.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk arises when the Company is unable to meet its short term financial obligations as and when they fall due.

The Company maintains adequate liquidity in the system so as to meet its all financial liabilities timely. In addition to this, the Company’s overall financial position is strong so as to meet any eventuality of liquidity tightness.

Commodity Price Risk

The main raw materials which the Company procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.

The pricing policy of the Company final product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials is passed on to the customers in the final product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price risk.

With regard to the finished products, the Company has been operating in a global competitive environment which continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.

In order to combat this situation, the Company formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers & focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and productivity. With these measures, Company counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.

53: The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

P. LEASES

The Company as a Lessee

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment and vehicles. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates of the Company. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.

The Company as a lessor

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

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease

Q. BORROWING COST

Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying /eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

R. OPERATING SEGEMENTS

Operating segments are defined as components of the Company: (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company),(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s designated individual chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Management has chosen to organise the Company, around differences in business activities/ customer base/ products belonging to different industry, having different economic characteristics and not on the basis of geographical areas, looking to the practical impediments. Accordingly the Company has identified following reportable segments, viz. Flexible packaging activities, Engineering activities and others (Unallocable).

h Nature of CSR Activities

As covered under Item No (i) & (iv) of Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013

The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company''s defined benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2023. The Company is expected to contribute Rs.877.27 lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2024.

The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.

If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by Rs.247.56 Lacs (increase by Rs.264.78 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.264.02 Lacs (decrease by Rs.248.18 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in

calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

39: Previous Year figures have been recasted / regrouped/ reclassified, wherever considered necessary.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases by 0.5%), the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.149.85 Lacs (decrease by Rs.139.75 Lacs) as at 31st March 2018.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

- Monitor and review periodically the adherence, adequacy and efficacy of the financial risk management system.

The Company enterprise risk management system is monitored and reviewed at all levels of management, Internal Auditors, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors from time to time.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk refers to the risks that arise on default by the counterparty on its contractual obligation resulting into financial loss to the company. The company may carry this Risk on Trade and other receivables, liquid assets and some of the non current financial assets.

In case of Trade receivables, the company has framed appropriate policy for extending credits period & limit to each customer based on their profile, financial position and their external rating etc. The collections of trade dues are strictly monitored . In case of Export customers, even credit guarantee insurance is also obtained wherever required.

The credit risk on cash & cash equivalent, investment in fixed deposits, liquid funds and deposits are insignificant as counterparties are banks or mutual funds with high credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies of international repute.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk arises when the company is unable to meet its short term financial obligations as and when they fall due.

The company maintains adequate liquidity in the system so as to meet its all financial liabilities timely. In addition to this, the company’s overall financial position is very strong so as to meet any eventuality of liquidity tightness.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities are given as under:

Interest Rate Risk

Generally market linked financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk. The company does not have any market linked financial instruments both on the asset side as well liability side. Hence there no interest rate risk linked to market rates.

However the interest rate in respect of major portion of borrowings by the Company from the banks and others are linked with the Benchmark / Base Prime lending rate of the respective lender and in case of foreign currency borrowings by way of ECB, the same is linked with the LIBOR. Any fluctuation in the same either on higher side or lower side will result into financial loss or gain to the company.

The amount with is subjected to the change in the interest rate is of Rs. 126384.09 lacs out of the total debt of Rs. 141838.53 Lacs.

Management keeps a close watch of the maturity of the financial assets in foreign currency and payment obligations of the financial liabilities.

Commodity Price Risk

The main raw materials which company procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.

The pricing policy of the Company’s final product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials is passed on to the customers in the final product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price risk.

With regard to the finished products, the Company has been operating in a global competitive environment which continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.

In order to combat this situation, the Company formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers & focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and productivity. With these measures, Company counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.

17. DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

18. Gratuity

The employees’ Group Gratuity Scheme is managed by ICICI prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected Unit credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The additional disclosure in terms of Ind AS 19 on “Employee Benefits”, is as under:

The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company’s defined benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2017. The company is expected to contribute Rs. 201.23 lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2018.

The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions constant.

If the discount rate increases /(decreases by 0.5%), the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by Rs.127.45 Lacs (increase by Rs.137.74 Lacs) as at 31st March 2017.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases by 0.5%), the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.132.65 Lacs (decrease by Rs.124.06 Lacs) as at 31st March 2017.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the Balance Sheet.
