1.16 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
1.17 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Disclosure of contingent liabilities is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
1.18 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date.
Financial instruments Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Initial measurement, classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with Ind AS 115, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, in case of financial assets other than classified as fair value through profit and loss account, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of financial asset.
Financial assets are classified into one of the following categories:
• amortised cost
• fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), or
• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The classification is determined by both:
• the entity's business model for managing the financial asset, and
• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset
All revenue and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or other income.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except during the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
1) Debt instruments
Measured at amortised cost:
Financial assets that give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely the payments of principal and interest; and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is solely to collect those cash flows, then the financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost. These are measured by applying the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method allocates interest income over the relevant period by applying the effective interest rate (‘EIR') (that is the interest rate that exactly discounts expected future cash flows to the gross carrying amount of the asset).
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest,
are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income is measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income' in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and d ivid end income, if any,
recognised in ‘other income' in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
2) Equity instruments
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at fair value, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by¬ instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument is recognised in ‘other income' in the standalone statement of profit and loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the standalone statement of profit and loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised as ‘other income' in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition
The Company de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires 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 de-recognised.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of loss allowance on the following:
i. Trade receivables
ii. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables)
In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. The Company
computes ECL based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The default in collection as a percentage to total receivable is low and overall expected credit loss is not material to these standalone financial statements.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost (listed as ii. above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Financial liabilities
(a) Classification
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value profit and loss or at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit and loss. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments.
(b) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
(c) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss 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 profit or loss.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
(e) De-recognition
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward to hedge its foreign currency risks. 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.
The changes in fair value of such derivative contracts, as well as the foreign exchange gain and losses relating to monetary items are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
(iv) Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
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.
1.19 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for events such as bonus issue and share split. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are deemed to be converted as of the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
1.20 Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision market (“CODM”) in deciding allocation of resources and in assessing performance. The Board of Directors' is its CODM. The Company's CODM reviews financial information presented on an aggregated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the
Company has determined that it operates in one operating and reportable segment.
1.21 Share issue expenses
All the initial public offer ('IPO') related expenditures will be adjusted against the Securities Premium, in accordance with Section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013 on successful completion of the issue, to the extent any balance is available for utilisation under the Securities Premium. Any amounts, in excess of the balance in the Securities Premium would be expensed off in the standalone statement of profit and loss.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated and hence, this sensitivity analysis may not be representative of an actual change in the defined benefit obligation When calculating the sensitivity of defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of defined benefit obligations calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculate the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
Sensitivities related to mortality are considered immaterial, therefore the impact of changes stemming from these factors has not been presented.

43 Segment reporting
In accordance with the requirement of Ind AS 108 - “Segment reporting”, the Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing of plastic based articles and has no other reportable segments. The Board of Directors of the Company allocates the resources and assess the performance of the Company as Chief Operating Decision Maker(“CODM”). The CODM monitors the operating results of the business as a single segment hence no separate segment needs to be disclosed. Thus the segment revenue, segment result, total carrying value of segment assets, total carrying amount of segment liabilities, total cost incurred to acquire segment assets, the total amount of charge for depreciation and amortization during the year are all as reported in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026, 31 March 2025 and as on respective date. Refer note 28 for reporting based on size of customer. The Company is domiciled in India. The amount of its revenue from external customers broken down by location of the customers is shown in the table below:
44 Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participant at the measurement date.
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level has been provided below.
Level 1 : Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges are valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
- the use of discounted cash flow for fair value at amortised cost
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to oversee the management of these risks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance, the Company's risk management is carried out by a corporate treasury and corporate finance department under policies approved by the board of directors and top management. The Company's treasury identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operating units. The board provides guidance for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the related impact in the financial statements.
(i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company's size and operations result in it being exposed to the following market risks that arise from its use of financial instruments:
(a) currency risk; (b) price risk; and (c) interest rate risk
The above risks may affect the Company's income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The Company's exposure to and management of these risks are explained below.
(ii) Currency risk
(a) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company's functional currency). The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts for hedging receivables and payable risk. To the extent of lower of exports and imports that the Company undertakes in USD, the Company has a natural hedge against the exposure to foreign currency risks.
45 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)
Hedging activities and derivatives - Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
The Company uses foreign currency denominated borrowings and foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions.
(b) Price risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in mutual funds and bonds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments at 31 March 2026, the investments in mutual funds and Bonds amounts to 1,982.46 lakhs (31 March, 2025: Nil). These are exposed to price risk. The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimize price risk arising from investments in credible mutual funds. A 1% increase in prices would have led to approximately an additional H19.82 lakhs gain in profit or loss/equity (31 March, 2025: Nil). A 1% decrease in prices would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Further, treasury activities, focused on managing investments in debt instruments, are centralised and administered under a set of approved policies and procedures guided by the tenets of safety, liquidity and returns. This ensures that investments are made within acceptable risk parameters after due evaluation.
The Company's investments are predominantly held in Bonds, bank deposits and debt mutual funds. Investments in bonds are fair valued through the Statement of Profit and Loss to recognise market volatility, which is not considered to be significant.
Bank deposits are held with highly rated banks and companies and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate volatility. The Company also invests in debt mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. Such investments are susceptible to market price risks that arise mainly from changes in interest rate which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, given the relatively short tenure of underlying portfolio of the debt mutual fund schemes in which the Company has invested, such price risk is not significant.

Fixed rate instruments that are carried at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk for the purpose of sensitivity analysis.
