(2) Significant Accounting Policies
(i) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements and use of estimates
(a) The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act to be read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. The Company’s Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2025 comprises of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity and the Notes to Financial Statements.
(b) Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
(c) The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon
management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
(ii) Revenue Recognition
a) The Company earns revenue primarily from Manufacture and Sale of goods & rendering services.
b) Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when
• Control is transferred to the customer.
• The company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold.
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
c) Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for price concessions also excludes taxes collected from customers.
d) Use ofsignificant judgments in revenue recognition
The Company’s order from customers could include promises to transfer products and services to a customer. The Company assesses the products / services promised in an order and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in order.
e) Income from investments / other income is recognized on accrual basis.
(iii) Inventories are valued as under
a) Raw materials, Components, : At moving weighted average cost or
Stores & Spares, Loose Tools net realizable value whichever
is lower.
b) Finished Goods : At lower of cost or net realizable
value
c) Work-in-Progress : At lower ofestimated cost or
net realizable value
d) Goods in Transit and under clearance : At lower of actual cost till date
(inclusive of customs duty payable thereon) or net realizable value
e) Stock of Scrap : At estimated net realizable value.
(iv) Employee Benefits
a) Short Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short term benefits. The benefits like salaries, wages etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employees have rendered the related service.
b) Employment Benefits
i. Defined Contribution Plan
Defined contribution plan consists of Government Provident Fund Scheme and Employee State Insurance scheme. Company’s contribution paid/payable during the year under these schemes are recognized as expense in the statement of Profit and Loss. There are no other obligations other than the contribution made by the company.
ii. Defined Benefit Plan
The employees’ gratuity schemes and long term compensated absences are the defined benefit plans. Company’s liabilities towards gratuity and leave encashment are determined using the projected unit credit method which considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
Actuarial gains and losses arise due to re-measurement as result of the actual experience and the assumed parameters and changes in the assumptions used for valuation are recognized in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flow using a discount rate that is determined by the reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Government bonds.
(v) Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets
a) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (except free hold land) are stated at cost of acquisition or construction including installation cost, attributable interest and financial cost till such time assets are ready for its intended use and foreign exchange fluctuation on long term borrowings related to Property, Plant and Equipment, less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and specific grants received if any. Free hold land is stated at revalued amount.
b) Intangibles assets:
Product Development Expenditure and License / Technical know-how fees:
Product Development expenditure of capital nature are added to Intangible assets. Expenditure on license and technical know-how fees and other related expenditure towards technological improvement of the products and/or components for captive use are treated as intangible assets. Expenditure of these natures are initially recognized as Intangible Assets under development and eventually transferred to Intangible assets block as appropriate on the commencement of the commercial production afterthe viability of the product is proven.
(vi) Depreciation and amortization on Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets
a) Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment except free hold land is provided on pro-rata basis on straight line method over the useful lives of the assets prescribed in the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment sold or scrapped during the year is provided up to the month in which such Property, Plant and Equipment are sold or scrapped. Depreciation on additions to Property, Plant and Equipment is calculated on pro-rata basis from the month ofaddition.
c) Product Development expenditure and License/Technical know-how fees are amortized over a period of 5 years from the accounting year in which the commercial production of such improved product commences.
(vii) Investment Properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that is not own occupied by the company 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 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. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Though the company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.
(viii) Impairment of Assets:
In accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 36 (INDAS 36) on “Impairment of Assets”, where there is an indication of impairment of the Company’s assets, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss, wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets is estimated at the higher of its net selling price and its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life. Previously recognized impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in circumstances.
(ix) Non - current assets held for sale
Non - current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset and its sale is highly probable.
Non - current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non - current assets held for sale are disclosed under "Other Assets"
(x) Foreign Currency Transactions
a) Foreign Currency transactions are recorded on the basis of exchange rates prevailing on the date of their occurrence.
b) Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities as on the Balance Sheet date are revalued in the accounts on the basis of exchange rates prevailing at the close of the year and exchange difference arising there-from is charged / credited to the Statement of Profit & Loss - except for the exchange difference arising on long term borrowings related to fixed assets, which are capitalized.
(xi) Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease. The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Right of use assets
The Company as a lessee: The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract 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: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period ofthe lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use ofthe asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases), variable lease and low value leases. For these short¬ term, variable lease and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term ofthe lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount ofthe lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher ofthe fair value less cost to sale 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 (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost 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 in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
(xii) Customs Duty
Customs duty is accounted for as and when paid/provided.
(xiii) Borrowing Cost
As per Indian Accounting Standard 23 (Ind AS 23) on “Borrowing Costs” borrowing costs that are:
(a) directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as a part of cost of such asset till the time the asset is ready for its intended use and;
(b) not directly attributable to qualifying assets are determined by applying a weighted average rate and are capitalized as a part of the cost of such qualifying asset till the time the asset is ready for its intended use. Remaining borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
