1.1 Material accounting policy information
a. Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted at cost less impairment in accordance with Ind AS 27 - Separate financial
statements. Impairment assessment is carried out based on the principles mentioned in "Impairment of financial
assets" below.
b. Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of the Company is Indian National Rupee (INR) which is also the presentation currency. All
other currencies are accounted for as foreign currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of
transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rates. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the
initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the
recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair
value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income (""OCI"") or standalone statement of profit and loss
are also recognised in OCI or profit and loss, respectively).
The gain or loss arising on translation of monetary items are recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss
in the period in which they arise except for: exchange difference arising on settlement / restatement of long-term
foreign currency monetary items recognized in the standalone financial statements upto the year ended 31 March 2017
prepared under previous GAAP, which are capitalized as a part of the depreciable property plant and equipment's to
which the monetary item relates and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets. If such monetary items
do not relate to acquisition of depreciable property plant and equipment's, the exchange difference is amortised over
the maturity period or upto the date of settlement of such monetary item, whichever is earlier and charged to the
standalone statement of profit and loss.
c. Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues mainly from sale of manufactured goods. Revenue is recognised on satisfaction of
performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Revenue is measured based on the
transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, incentives and returns, etc., if any.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised products
to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it is not required to adjust any of
the transaction prices for the time value of money.
A Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the
Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before
payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the
Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or
the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs
under the contract.
Export entitlement from government authority are recognised in the standalone statement of profit or loss as other
operating revenue when the right to receive is established as per the terms of the scheme in respect of the exports
made by the Company with no future related cost and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate
collection of the relevant export proceeds.
Sales Return can be made by Customers having contractual right to return goods only when authorized by the
Company. An estimate is made of goods that will be returned and a liability is recognized for this amount using best
estimate based on accumulated experience
d. Other Income
Interest income for all debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial assets to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the
Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instruments
(for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividend are recognised in standalone statement of profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established,
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the
dividend can be measured reliably.
e. Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period (current tax) is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is recognised in full, using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements. However,
deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is
also 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
income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of
the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred
income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets (Including Minimum Alternate Tax credit) are recognised for all deductible temporary differences
and unused tax losses or credits only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those
temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
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 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. Current tax assets and tax liabilities
are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to
realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to
items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
f. Leases
Measurement and recognition of leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease is defined as 'a
contract, or part of a contract, that convey the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in
exchange for consideration'
To apply this definition, the Company assesses whether the contract meets three key criteria which are whether:
• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified
by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company.
• the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset
throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract.
• the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company
assesses whether it has the right to direct 'how and for what purpose' the asset is used throughout the period of
use.
Company as a lessee
At lease commencement date, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the standalone
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 and any lease payments made in advance of the lease
commencement date.
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 the 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), and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised. Subsequent to initial
measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest expenses. It is remeasured to
reflect any reassessment or modification.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset or standalone
statement of profit and loss, as the case may be.
On the balance sheet date, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities
have been included in financial liabilities (non-current and current).
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the exemption /
practical expedient given under Ind AS 116, Leases. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the
payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in the standalone statement of profit or loss on a straight¬
line basis over the lease term or on another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the
Company's benefit.
Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor are classified as finance or operating lease.
Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis
over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate
for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on
their nature.
g. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication
of impairment based on internal /external factors. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount
of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or
where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its
net selling price and its value in use. Impairment loss is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
After impairment, depreciation / amortisation (where applicable) is provided on the revised carrying amount of the
asset over its remaining useful life.
A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However,
the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual
depreciation / amortisation if there were no impairment.
h. Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on
hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments 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, and bank overdrafts.
i. Inventories
Raw material and components: Valuation of raw material is done on moving average price of cost.
Cost of inventory in raw material comprises cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present condition and location. Trade discount, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the
cost of purchase.
Work-in-progress ("WIP") and Finished goods ("FG"): Inventories of Work-in-progress ("WIP") and Finished goods
("FG") are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises
direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter
being allocated on the basis of machine hour rates.
Stores and spares: Stores and spares are stated at cost and are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss,
when consumed.
Raw material and components, stores and spares, work in progress and finished goods are stated at "cost or net
realisable value whichever is lower".
j. Investments and financial assets
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through
statement of profit and loss), and
• 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.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive
income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
For equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial
recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Trade receivables are recognised at their transaction price unless those contain significant financing component
determined in accordance with Ind AS 115 and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less provision for impairment.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset, except trade receivables, at fair value plus or minus the
transaction costs. In case of financial assets classified at 'fair value through profit or loss', the initial recognition is done at fair
value in accordance with para 5.1.1 of Ind AS 109. Further, as an exception to these principles, according to para 5.1.3 read
with para 5.1.1 of Ind AS 109, financial assets in the form of trade receivables, are initially measured at their transaction price
(as defined in Ind AS 115) unless those contain a significant financing component determined in accordance with Ind AS 115.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows
are solely payment of principal and interest.
Measurement of debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and
the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the company classifies
its debt instruments:
• Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent
solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment
that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or
loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other
income using the effective interest rate method.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual
cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal
and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying
amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and
foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
• Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are
measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured
at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and
presented net in the standalone statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it
arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Measurement of equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company's management has
elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no
subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are
recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss as other income when the company's right to receive
payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain / (losses)
in the standalone statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity
investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at
amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been
a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments,
which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
For 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.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when
• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
• retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation
to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity
has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not
derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership
of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of
continuing involvement in the financial asset.
k. Derivatives
The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts
are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in other gains / (losses).
The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations
relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates these cross-currency interest rate swaps in
a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles.
Derivative contracts are stated at fair value on the balance sheet at each reporting date. At inception of the hedge
relationship, the Company documents the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged
item, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument are expected to offset changes in the
cash flows of the hedged item. The Company documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
its hedging transactions. The Company designates amounts excluding foreign currency basis spread in the hedging
relationship for cross currency interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts that are
designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within other
comprehensive income (net of tax), and any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the standalone statement
of profit and loss. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the standalone statement of Profit and Loss in the
periods in which the forecasted transactions occur.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no
longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the statement of profit and
loss in the periods in which the forecast transactions affect profit or loss. For forecast transactions, any cumulative
gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained there until the forecast transaction occurs.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is
immediately transferred to the standalone statement of profit and loss for the year.
l. Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset
and settle the liability 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.
m. Property plant and equipment (including Capital Work-in-Progress) and depreciation
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost
less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical costs include cost of acquisition inclusive of all
attributable cost of bringing the assets to their working condition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is possible that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is
derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to standalone statement of profit and loss
during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and
equipment as at 1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of
these assets
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 prescribes useful lives for property, plant and equipment and allows companies
to use higher/lower useful lives and residual values if such useful lives and residual values can be technically supported
and justification for difference is disclosed in the standalone financial statements. The management believes that the
depreciation rates currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and
equipment.
Depreciation/ amortisation on property plant and equipment's has been provided on the straight-line method as per
the useful life assessed based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated use
of the asset on the basis of management's best estimation of getting economic benefits from those class of assets.
Depreciation is provided pro rata from the date of addition or upto the date of disposal, as the case may be.
The Company uses its external technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for arriving at the economic
life of an asset.
Class of asset Useful life based on SLM (Range)
Leasehold land 60 - 90 years
Buildings and flats 15 - 50 years
Plant and equipment 3 - 30 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 - 10 years
Office equipment 3 - 10 years
Electrical installations 5 - 20 years
Vehicles 5 years
Assets not yet ready for use are recognised as capital work in progress.
Gains / losses arising from disposals of assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying value of the asset on the date of disposal and are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and
loss, in the period of disposal.
n. Investment Properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not used by the Company
for business purposes, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost,
including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised 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. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part
is derecognised.
Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment
properties generally have a useful life of 25-40 years. The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation
performed by the management's expert.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its investment properties
recognised as at 1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of
investment properties.
o. Right of use assets
ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and as determined in line with para (m) above. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment
testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined
on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from
other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit CCGU') to which the
asset belongs.
p. Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the intangible assets.
Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset
will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Software's are capitalised at the amounts paid to acquire the respective license for use and the costs incurred towards
its development and are amortised, over the period of their useful lives, which is generally considered to be a period
not exceeding three / five years, depending upon the nature of the software. The assets' useful lives are reviewed at
each financial year end. Amortisation is calculated pro-rata from the date of addition or upto the date of disposal, as
the case may be.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset on date of disposal and are recognised in the standalone
statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised. Amortisation is provided pro rata from the date of addition
or upto the date of disposal, as the case may be.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets as at
1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of intangible assets.
Intangible assets under development include intangible assets which are not ready for intended use as on balance
sheet date.
q. Borrowings and other financial liabilities
Borrowings and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs incurred).
Difference between the fair value and the transaction proceeds on initial recognition is recognised as an asset / liability
based on the underlying reason for the difference.
Subsequently all financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowings are removed from the standalone balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished
or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. The gain / loss is recognised in other equity in case of transaction with
shareholders.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
r. Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are
added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other
borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the standalone statement of profit and loss in the period in which
they are incurred.
