Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future period.

Revenue from domestic sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. The Company collects goods and service tax (GST) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.

Depreciation:
Depreciation other than on land and capital work-in- progress is charged on Straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 on all fixed assets. The estimated useful lives are estimated based on technical evaluation.

Depreciation on the amount of addition/deletion made to fixed assets due to up- gradation/impairment/sale is provided at the rate applied to the existing assets on pro-rata basis.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets:
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for previously revalued tangible fixed assets, where the revaluation was taken to revaluation reserve. In this case, the impairment is also recognized in the revaluation reserve up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

Raw materials, components, stores, stock-in-trade and packing materials are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is less. However, material and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below the cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials, components, stores, stock in trade is determined on a moving weighted average basis. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (Other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition.
Semi-finished goods are valued at estimated cost. Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is less.
