2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information
a. Statement of compliance
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act (as amended from time to time) and the guidelines issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India, to the extent applicable.
b. Basis of preparation
The Company's standalone financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention except for the following financial assets and liabilities:
i) Financial assets and liabilities including derivative instruments are measured at fair value; and
ii) Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, set out below and were consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated. They have been prepared under the assumption that the Company operates on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to discharge its liabilities as and when they fall due.
The standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2026 were approved and authorised for issue by the board of directors of the Company on 30 May 2026.
Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance
sheet based on current / non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
Ý it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle.
Ý it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
Ý it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
Ý 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.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
Ý It is expected to be settled in Company's normal operating cycle;
Ý It is held primarily for the purpose of being trading;
Ý It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
Ý There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬ current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in
cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
:. Functional and presentation currency
The Management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates i.e., functional currency, to be Indian Rupee (INR). The standalone financial statements are presented in INR lakhs, which is Company's functional and presentational currency.
d. Revenue recognition
Revenue arises mainly from the sale of goods. Revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods to its customers.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
(i) Identifying the contract with a customer
(ii) Identifying the performance obligations
(iii) Determining the transaction price
(iv) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and then
(v) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The Company considers the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of goods to the customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, indirect taxes). The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed consideration, variable consideration (if reversal is less likely in future) both. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold is net of variable consideration on account of price changes of raw materials used in final product.
Revenue from sale of services is recognised over the period of time when the services are rendered to the customer. Revenue from sale of scrap is recognised at the point in time when control of the scrap is transferred to the customer and is measured at the transaction price.
e. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
Ý Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
Ý Finished goods and work-in-progress: Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods is determined on manufacturing cost basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Due allowance is estimated and made for defective and obsolete items, wherever necessary.
f. Income taxes
Tax expense recognised in the profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)/directly in equity.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income- tax Act, 1961. Current tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (i.e. in OCI or any other equity depending upon the treatment of underlying item).
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements. Deferred income tax is measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised in full for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss, unused tax credits or deductible temporary difference will be utilised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Company's forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non¬ taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (in OCI or equity depending upon the treatment of underlying item).
g. Goodwill
Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising on business combination is carried at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is carried at cost less impairment loss, if any.
Impairment
Goodwill is annually tested for impairment. Impairment loss, if any, to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount is charged off to the profit or loss as it arises and is not reversed. For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Unit (CGU) or group of CGUs to which it relates, which is not larger than an operating segment, and is monitored for internal management purposes,
h. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
i. Foreign currency transactions and balances
Monetary and non-monetary transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities remaining unsettled on reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on reporting date. Gains/ (losses) arising on account of realisation/ settlement of foreign exchange transactions and on translation of monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognised in profit and loss.
Non-monetary items are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk associated foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivatives are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to profit or loss.
j. Financial instruments
Initial measurement and classification Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below:
Non-derivative financial assets
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into one of the following categories:
Ý amortised cost,
Ý fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), or
Ý fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The classification is determined by both:
Ý the entity's business model for managing the financial asset, and
Ý the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost - a
financial asset is measured at the amortised cost, if both the following conditions are met:
Ý The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
Ý 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.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 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 realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal
course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
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 for financial assets. ECL is the weighted-average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:
Ý All contractual terms ofthe financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.
Ý Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ii. Investments in equity instruments - The Company subsequently measures all equity investments (other than subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates) at fair value (either through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income). Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.
Trade receivables: Trade receivable is recognised initially at transaction price, plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument, including the use of historical trends and macroeconomic information.
Other financial assets: In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected
credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Subsequent measurement at amortised cost Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities 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 de¬ recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.
k. Fair value measurement of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realised. For
financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the balance sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes the management that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the board of directors.
The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
l. Property, plant and equipment/ Intangible asset
Recognition and initial measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation less accumulated impairment, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and definition of asset is met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.
In case an item of property, plant and equipment is acquired on deferred payment basis, interest expenses included in deferred payment is recognised as interest expense and not included in cost of asset.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value/ Impairment
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method/ written down value method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives;
Ý The depreciation/amortization charged on all property, plant and equipment/intangible assets is on the basis of useful life specified in Part "C" of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 which represents useful lives of the assets.
Ý On assets sold, discarded, etc., during the year, depreciation is provided up to the date of sale/ discard.
Ý Depreciation has been calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of additions in respect of acquisition/ installation during the year.
Ý Leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period or the useful life, whichever is shorter.
Ý Customer relationship recorded on account of business combination is also amortized over the life of the asset.
Ý Freehold land is not depreciated.
The Company reviews carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. In such situation, assets' recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset's or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre¬ tax discount rate, which reflect the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realisations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted. the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortization and amount of impairment expense to be recorded, adequately during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in estimate impacting the financial result of the Company.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year, and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognised.
m. Capital work-in progress (CWIP)
Costs of materials consumed, erection charges and other directly attributable costs incurred in respect of projects under construction are accumulated and disclosed as Capital work-in-progress (CWIP) until the assets are ready for their intended use and are capitalised to the relevant class of Property, plant and equipment. CWIP comprises
assets that are under construction or development and are not yet ready for their intended use as at the reporting date. Such assets are carried at cost, comprising directly attributable costs and, where applicable, borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation in accordance with Ind AS 23, less any impairment losses recognised, if any.
i. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment considering the provisions of Ind AS 36 'Impairment of Assets'. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are Company together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or group of assets (the "cash-generating unit", or "CGU"). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are reduced from the carrying amounts of the assets of the CGU.
). Right of use assets and lease liabilities
The Company considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’.
The Company as a lessee
Classification of leases
The Company enters into leasing arrangements for various assets. The assessment of the lease is based on several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee’s option to extend/purchase etc.
Recognition and initial measurement At lease commencement date, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Company, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of
the lease (if any), and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).
Subsequent measurement
The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of- use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
At lease commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) and variable payments based on an index or rate. Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is re-measured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is re-measured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset.
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
p. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisitions, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.
A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended in the period during which the active development is delayed due to, other than temporary, interruption.
