2. Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(i) General information and statement of compliance with Ind AS
These standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the ‘MCA’) under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time to time, other relevant provisions of the Act, presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the financial statements and other recognised accounting practices and policies, to the extent applicable.
These standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 approved for issue in accordance with the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the Company on 14 May 2026.
These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (‘I ’) which is also the Company’s functional currency and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lacs as per the requirements of Part II of Schedule III of the Act, unless otherwise indicated.
(ii) Basis of preparation
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis and at historical cost, except for the following assets and liabilities, as explained in relevant accounting policies which have been measured as indicated below:
Ý Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value; and
Ý Employees’ defined benefit plan and compensated absences are measured as per actuarial valuation.
The accounting policies followed in preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the most recent annual financial statements of the Company.
(iii) 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/settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
Ý It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
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 normal operating cycle;
Ý It is held primarily for the purpose of being trading;
Ý It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or;
Ý There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and
liabilities respectively.
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.
(iv) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and initial measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition, installation and construction of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land is stated at original cost of acquisition.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditures are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are generally charged to the statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of balance sheet are disclosed as ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. Such items are classified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use. Advances given towards acquisition / construction of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed as Capital Advances under "Other non-current assets”.
Depreciation on property, plant, and equipment
Depreciation has been provided on straight line method, in terms of useful life of the assets, as prescribed under Schedule II of the Act. Depreciation on additions/disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from the date on which the asset is capitalized and till the date it was disposed-off.
The asset’s useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
De-recognition
Any item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment 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 when the item is derecognized.
(v) Investment property Recognition and initial measurement
Investment property is categorised as a property that is:
Ý held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both;
Ý not for sale in the ordinary course of business, or;
Ý not for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
I nvestment property is measured at its cost, including related transaction costs less depreciation and impairment, if any. The cost comprises of purchase price and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
Depreciation on investment property
Investment property is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. The Company depreciates buildings recognized as investment property on a pro-rata basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as prescribed under Schedule II to the Act.
De-recognition
Investment property is derecognized either it is disposed off or when its is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period of de-recognition.
(vi) Intangible assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Subsequent measurement (amortization and useful lives)
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as finite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed
De-recognition
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or loss arising from the de recognition of an intangible asset, if any, is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
(vii) Inventories
Raw materials, stores and spares and packing materials
Raw material, stores and spares and packing materials are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes purchase price, other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, and includes non-refundable taxes. Materials and other items held for use in the 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. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis. Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are identified at the time of physical verification and wherever necessary a provision is made.
Finished goods, by products and stock in trade
Finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories of finished goods includes cost of raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed production overheads, the later being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity which are incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition.
during each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
By-products are valued at net realisable value.
Stock in trade are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of stock-in¬ trade includes cost of purchase and other cost incurred in bringing the inventories to the present location and condition. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(viii)Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, if any. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
Ý Identifying the contract with a customer
Ý Identifying the performance obligations
Ý Determining the transaction price
Ý Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
Ý Recognising revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is measured on the basis of transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, rebates, schemes allowances, price concessions, incentives, amounts collected on behalf of government and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers. 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.
Satisfaction of performance obligations
The Company’s revenue is derived when the Company satisfies a performance obligation upon transfer of control of goods to customers as per the terms of the underlying contracts.
The Company exercises judgment in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such goods or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc. Invoices are issued as per the general business terms and are payable immediately or in accordance with the agreed credit period.
A receivable is recognised by the Company when control of the goods is transferred and the Company’s right to an amount of consideration under the contract with the customer is unconditional, as only the passage of time is required. When either party to a contract has performed, the Company presents the contract in the balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.
No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with insignificant credit terms depending on the specific terms agreed with customers.
a) Sale of finished goods and stock-in-trade
Revenue is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on terms with customers. When payments received from the customers exceed revenue recognized to date on a particular contract, any excess (a contract liability) is reported in the balance sheet under other liabilities.
b) Revenue from sale of electricity
Sale of energy is accounted for on basis of energy supplied.
c) Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.
d) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive is established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
e) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at transaction price as they do not contain a significant financing component. It represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
f) RODTEP income
Revenue from export benefits arising from Remission of duties and taxes on exported product (‘RODTEP’) scheme are recognised on export of goods in accordance with their respective underlying scheme at fair value of consideration received or receivable where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.
(ix) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months from the end of the year. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services is recognised as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees. These benefits include salaries, wages, bonus and other benefits.
Defined contribution plan
Employee benefits in the form of contribution to Provident Fund managed by government authorities is considered as defined contribution plans and the same are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year in which the employee renders the related service.
Defined benefit plan
The Company’s gratuity scheme is considered as defined benefit plan. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit (‘PUC’) method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the reporting date. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (if any), and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
Ý Service costs comprising current service costs, past service costs; and
Ý Net interest expense or income.
Past service costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
Ý The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
Ý The date that the Company recognizes the related termination benefits.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for compensated absences are provided on the basis of actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method, as at the date of the balance sheet. Actuarial gains / losses, if any, are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Compensated absences, which are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, are treated as short-term employee benefits. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
Past service costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
Ý The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
Ý The date that the Company recognizes the related termination benefits.
(x) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Initial recognition and measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognized at fair value. In case of financial assets which are recognised initially at fair value through profit and loss (‘FVTPL’) except for trade receivables without financing components which are measured at transaction price, its transaction cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In other cases, the transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in below categories:
Ý Financial assets carried at amortised cost
Ý Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’)
Ý Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’)
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently 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 the asset in order 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.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re¬ measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised directly in the Statement of profit and loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges where Company hedges its exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated with recognised liabilities in the standalone financial statements.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/ economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they continue to be highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they are designated.
When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately
Financial assets carried at FVTOCI
A financial asset is classified as at FVTOCI if both the following criteria are met:
Ý The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
Ý The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial assets carried at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for financial assets. Any financial assets , which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit losses (‘ECL’) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
Ý Trade receivables;
Ý Financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivables);
Ý Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, short term borrowings and derivative financial instruments.
Classification
Financial liabilities are classified initially at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortised cost, as appropriate.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
c) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the standalone 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.
d) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Ý Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Ý Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Ý Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone balance sheet on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (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.
e) Hedge accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks.
reclassified to profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
(xi) Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
Ý the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
Ý the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and;
Ý the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
Company as a lessee Right-of-use assets
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for short-term leases and low value leases.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability includes fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate known at the commencement date; and extension option payments or purchase options payment which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line "other expenses” in the statement of profit and loss.
The lease term comprises the non-cancellable lease term together with the period covered by extension options, if assessed as reasonably certain to be exercised, and termination options, if assessed as reasonably certain not to be exercised. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
Right-of-use asset and lease liability have been separately presented in the balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low- value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Comoanv as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
(xii) Foreign currency transactions and translations
The Company’s standalone financial statements are presented in (I), which is the Company’s functional currency.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re¬ translated at the rates prevailing at the end
of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
Exchange differences arising on the re¬ translation or settlement of monetary items are included in the statement of profit and loss for the period.
(xiii) Taxes
Tax expense is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or an expense in the statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, in which case, the current and deferred tax credit/charge are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Current tax
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable profit for a period and is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date. Taxable profit differs from ‘Profit before tax’ as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible under Income-tax Act, 1961.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit under Income- tax Act, 1961.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefits of part or all of such deferred tax assets to be utilised.
