2 Basis of Preparation
i) Compliance with Ind AS
The Standalone Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis.
ii) Historical Cost Convention
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services at the time of their acquisition.
iii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notifications dated May 7, 2025 and August 13, 2025 notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025 and the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2025, effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025:
a) Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1
As a result of the adoption of the amendments to Ind AS 1, the Company changed its accounting policy for the classification of borrowings:
"Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless, at the end of the reporting period, the Company has a
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Covenants that the Company is required to comply with, on or before the end of the reporting period, are considered in classifying loan arrangements with covenants as current or non-current. Covenants that the Company is required to comply with after the reporting period do not affect the classification.”
This new policy did not result in a change in the classification of borrowings. The Company did not make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the amendments to Ind AS 1.
b) Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107
c) International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to Ind AS 12
The Company is not within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two Model Rules, as Pillar Two legislation has not yet been enacted in any of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
d) Lack of Exchangeability - Amendments to Ind AS 21
The amended Ind AS 21 have added requirements to help entities to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and the spot exchange rate to use where it is not. These amendments did not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
iv) Standards issued but not yet effective
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non¬ current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1
This amendment also includes specific provisions that will take effect for reporting periods beginning on or after April 1 2026, as outlined below.
Under the existing Ind AS 1, where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.
However, the amended requirements stipulate that entities will no longer be permitted to consider lender waivers that are granted after the reporting date but before the financial statements are approved for the purpose of classification of loans. This amendment is required to be applied retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The Company does not expect this amendment to have an impact on its operations or financial statements.
v) Current vs non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non¬ current as per the Company's operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule Ill (Division II) to the Act. Based on the nature of products/services and the time between the delivery of products and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of asset and liabilities.
Assets:
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) It is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company's normal operating cycle;
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) It is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d) It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities:
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) It is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle:
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents. Based on the nature of the products and the time between
the acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
vi) Events occurring after reporting period
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the Standalone Financial Statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
vii) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company are presented in INR which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded- off to the nearest lakhs and decimals thereof, unless otherwise mentioned.
viii) Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of Standalone Financial Statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will likely differ from the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to final outcomes deviating from estimates and assumptions made. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the Standalone Financial Statements.
Critical estimates and judgements
The areas involving critical estimates and judgements are:
i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Refer Note 3 & 5)
ii) Determination of lease term (Refer Note 4)
iii) Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies (Refer Note 36 & 48(m))
iv) Estimation of defined benefit obligations (Refer Note 39)
v) Estimation of impairment of investment in associate and subsidiaries (Refer Note 6)
vi) Fair valuation of Employee Stock options (Refer Note 40)
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
3 Property, Plant and Equipment Accounting Policy
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other property, plant and equipment is recognised at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight line method over the following useful lives based on management's technical evaluation.
4 Right-of-use Assets recognised under Ind AS 116 Leases Accounting Policy
Company as lessee
The Company has leasing arrangements for land, office premises and factory buildings.
Relevant contracts might contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:
- where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received
- uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Company, which does not have recent third party financing
- makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.
If a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent financing or market data) which has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the Company uses that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental borrowing rate.
Critical judgement in determining the lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Company becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Financial Assets
Accounting Policy
Classification of financial assets at amortised cost
The Company classifies its financial assets at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and
- the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Financial assets classified at amortised cost comprise trade receivables, loans, investments in subsidiaries and associates.
See note 48(d) for other accounting policies relevant to Financial Assets.
6 Non-Current Investments
Investment in Subsidiaries and associate
The Company considers an investee company as a subsidiary company when it controls the investee company. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Company has:
• Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Investments in subsidiaries and associate are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed. Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. On disposal of investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss under 'Other Expenses' or 'Other Income'.
10 Trade Receivables Accounting Policy
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business and reflect the Company's unconditional right to consideration.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price as they do not contain significant financing components. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies the simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance as per Ind AS 109, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Terms/Rights attached to Equity Shares
The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all equity shares rank equally with regards to dividends and share in the Company's residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. Voting rights cannot be exercised in respect of shares on which any call or other sums presently payable have not been paid. Failure to pay any amount called up on shares may lead to forfeiture of the shares. On winding up of the Company, the holder of equity shares will be entitled to receive the residual assets of the Company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of equity shares held.
d) The Company during the preceding 5 years
i) Has not allotted shares pursuant to contracts without payment received in cash.
ii) Has not issued shares without payment of cash except for issue of Bonus shares, the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on July 03, 2023, approved a bonus issue of one hundred and fifty new equity shares for every one share held on the record date.

Subsequently, through a Board resolution dated July 06, 2023, the Company allotted 55,877,700 equity shares of H 10 each as bonus shares to the existing equity shareholders
of the Company.

27 Revenue from Operations
Accounting Policy
i) Measurement of Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts and incentive schemes, if any, as per contracts with customers. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer.
Transaction prices exclude taxes and duties collected on behalf of Government.
ii) Performance Obligations:
Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of products is recognised at a point in time when control of the product has been transferred at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and there are no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products and the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer.
The point of time of transfer of control to customers depends on the terms of the trade- FOB, CIF or door delivery, ex-works, etc."
A contract liability (unearned revenue) is recognised if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services and the Company is under an obligation to provide only the goods under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs obligation under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods to the customer).
iii) Schemes
The Company operates several sales incentive programmes wherein the customers are eligible for several benefits on achievement of underlying conditions as prescribed in the scheme programme. Revenue from contract with customer is presented deducting cost of all these schemes.
iv) Financing Components:
The Company does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for a significant financing component or the time value of money.
v) Export Incentives
Export incentives such as duty drawback, Credit under RODTEP, etc., are recognised as income when the right to receive them is established, and there is no significant uncertainty regarding their realisation.
vi) Royalties
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
vii) Scrap Sales
Revenue from the sale of waste/scrap is recognised when the control is transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of the waste/ scrap.
