2.4 Property, plant and equipment:
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost net of tax / duty credit availed,and any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to working condition and location for its intended use, including relevant borrowing costs and any expected costs of decommissioning, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as replacement if the recognition criterion is satisfied.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent Measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
Depreciation:
Details of useful life considered for depreciation are provided below.
Derecognition
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The consequential gain or loss is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
2.5 Capital work in progress:
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date. These are stated at cost to date relating to items or project in progress, incurred during construction / preoperative period. Advances given towards acquisition or construction of PPE outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed as Capital Advances under “Other non-current Assets”.
2.6 Intangible assets:
Intangible assets, identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets comprising of “Computer Software” are recorded at acquisition cost and are amortized overthe estimated useful life on straight line basis. Estimated useful life of software is assessed to be 3 years.
Technical Know-how has been fully depreciated during the year.
2.7 Inventories:
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on Weighted Average Cost basis, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are considered for as follows:
• Raw materials, Work-in-Progress, Stock- in- transit, packing materials, Stores and spares have been valued at cost, arrived on weighted average method.
• Traded goods,finished goods and stock kept for services have been valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
• Cost of finished goods includes direct material, freight and forwarding and apportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity and is determined on a weighted average basis.
• Cost of traded goods includes Cost of Purchase and other direct costs incurred and is determined on a first in first out 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.
2.8 Foreign currency transactions:
The Company's financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company's functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded on initial recognition in the fuctional currency, using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company's monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.
2.9 Financial instruments:
Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (‘FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
Financial assets - Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
• Amortised cost;
• FVOCI - Equity investment; or
• FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to
present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. At present there are no such investments.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Subsequent measurement and gains and losses for financial assets held by the Company:-
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. At present there are no such investments.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Presently, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
Derecognition
Financial Assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities:
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Offsetting:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets:
Non-financial assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the assets or Cash-Generating Units (CGU's) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. 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 group of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment of financial assets:
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:
• Financial asset measured at amortized cost
• Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
