2 Material Accounting Policies
(a) Statement of Compliance :
These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter
referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
('Act') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of
the Act and on accrual basis.
The separate financial statements are presented in addition to the consolidated financial statements presented by the
Company.
(b) Basis of Preparation and presentation :
i. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating
cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products/
activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation
in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of
classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non current .
ii. The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
(a) Certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value;
(b) Non-current assets held for sale - measured as lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sale;
(c) Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
iii. All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been shown in lakh as per the
requirement of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.
(c) Use of estimates
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make
estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities)
and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation
of the standalone financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates
and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are
known/ materialise.
Assumptions and estimations of uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimations of uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material
adjustment is included in the following notes:
- Note 18 and Note 2(p) - recognition of deferred tax assets
- Note 32 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 2(d) - useful life of property, plant and equipment;
(d) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Freehold land is carried at cost and not depreciated . The cost comprises purchase price (excluding
refundable taxes), borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to
its working condition for the intended use.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on straight line method as per the useful life prescribed
in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. Cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.
Estimated useful life of Plant and Machinery pertaining to solar power division is considered to be 25 years. Depreciation
on such plant and Machinery is charged at the rate of 5.28% for the first 13 years and 1.78% for remaining 12 years (As
per CERC Regulation, 2017)
(e) Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized
over the estimated useful life of respective intangible assets on a straight line basis, from the date they are available for
use.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortised
on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected useful lives. Estimated useful lives by major class of finite-life
intangible assets are as follows:
Computer Software - 6 Years”
(f) Investment property :
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under
construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with cost model as per Ind AS 16.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn
from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of
the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
(g) Investments in Subsidiary :
Investments in subsidiary are recognised at cost as per Ind AS 27 less provision for impairment, if any.
(h) Financial instruments :
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at fair value on initial recognition, except for
trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets :
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:
(i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through the
statement of profit and loss), and
(ii) those measured at amortised cost
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual
terms of the cash flows.
Equity instruments: The Company measures its equity instruments (other than in subsidiaries) at fair value through profit
and loss.
Impairment of financial assets:
The Company measures the expected credit loss associated with its assets based on historical trends, industrial
practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment
methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
Financial liabilities and equity :
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance
with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at
the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured
at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method.
Equity
An equity is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(i) Inventories :
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined as follows:
(j) Borrowing Cost :
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised for the
period until the asset is ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in
which they are incurred.
(k) Revenue Recognition :
Revenue comprises revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods. Revenue is recognised at an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or
services to a customer i.e. on transfer of control of the goods or service to the customer. Revenue from sales of goods
or rendering of services is net of indirect taxes, returns and discounts.
Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts and rebates. Revenue is only recognised
to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur. Our customers have the contractual right to
return goods only when authorised by the Company. An estimate is made of goods that will be returned and a liability is
recognised for this amount using a best estimate based on accumulated experience.
Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/arrangements with the customers as the service is
performed and there are no unfulfilled obligations. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method.
Solar Power Division:
Revenue from Generation, Transmission and Distribution of power is recognised net of cash discounts, for each unit of
electricity delivered at the contracted rate. Revenue from renewable energy certificates is recognised on actual basis.
Sale is recognized when the power is delivered by the Company at the delivery point in conformity with the parameters
and technical limits and fulfilment of other conditions specified in the Power Purchase Agreement. Sale of power is
accounted for as per tariff specified in the Power Purchase Agreement. The sale of power is accounted for net of all local
taxes and duties as may be leviable on sale of electricity for all electricity made available and sold to customers.
(l) Manufacturing and Operating Expenses :
Manufacturing expenses and operating expenses are charged to revenue on accrual basis.
(m) Foreign Exchange Transactions :
The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee. These standalone financial statements are presented in
Indian rupees.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction. Monetary assets
and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions remaining unsettled are translated at the year-end rate and
difference in translation and realised gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the statement
of profit and loss. “
