M. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

a) Provisions are recognized when there is a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation. The expenses relating to a provision are
recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss net of any
reimbursement.

b) If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions
are shown at present value of expenditure expected to
be required to settle the obligation, by discounting using
a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a finance cost.

c) Contingent liabilities are possible obligations arising from
past events and whose existence will only be confirmed
by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company, or present obligations where it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities
are not recognized in the financial statements but are
disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic
resources is considered remote.

d) Show-cause notices issued by various Government
Authorities are not considered as obligation. When the
demand notices are raised against such show-cause
notices and are disputed by the Company, these are
classified as disputed obligations.

e) Contingent Assets are not recognised but reviewed at each
balance sheet date and disclosure is made in the Notes
in respect of possible effects that arise from past events
and whose existence is confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company and where inflow
of economic benefit is probable.

N. Fair Value measurement

a) The Company measures financial instruments i.e.
derivative contracts at fair value at each balance
sheet date.

b) Fair value is the price that would be received on
selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date in the principal or, in its
absence, the most advantageous market to which the
Company has access at that date.

c) While measuring the fair value of an asset or liability,
the Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure the fair value
using observable market data as far as possible
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Fair
values are categorised into 3 levels as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable
for the assets or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices for
similar item) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market
data (unobservable inputs)

O. Financial Instruments

i. Financial Assets other than derivatives

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair values
including transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset.

A financial asset is measured (subsequent measurement)
at the amortised cost if the asset is held within a business
model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting
contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the
asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.

Amortised cost is net of any write down for impairment
loss (if any) using the effective interest rate (EIR) method

taking into account any discount or premium and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

A financial asset is derecognised either partly or fully to
the extent the rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired and / or the control on the asset has been
transferred to a third party. On de-recognition, any gains
or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

ii. Financial Liabilities other than derivatives

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair
value net of transaction costs that are attributable to the
respective liabilities.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method (“EIR"). 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 Statement of Profit & Loss.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is treated as the de¬
recognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

iii. Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments,
such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage
its exposure to foreign exchange 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 with the
changes being recognised in the Statement of Profit &
Loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the
fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the
fair value is negative.

iv. Compound Financial Instrument

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company
which can be converted into fixed number of equity shares
at the option of the holders irrespective of changes in the
fair value of the instrument are accounted by separately
recognising the liability and the equity components. The
liability component is initially recognised at the fair value
of a comparable liability that does not have an equity
conversion option. The equity component is initially
recognised at the difference between the fair value of

the compound financial instrument as a whole and the
fair value of the liability component. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the liability component of the compound
financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method. The equity component
of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured
subsequently.

v. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the
net amount is reported in the 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, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.

vi. Investment in 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 are 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 dividend, 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.

P. Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and
Non Current

All assets and liabilities are classified as current if they
are expected to be realised / settled within twelve months
after the reporting period. All other assets and liabilities
are considered as non-current.

Q. Impairment
Non-financial Assets

At each Balance Sheet date, an assessment is made of
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for
an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is
the higher of the asset's or Cash-Generating Unit's (CGU)
fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are

largely independent of those from other assets or groups
of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and
is written down to its recoverable amount.

Financial Assets

The Company applies Expected Credit Loss (“ECL") model
for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on
the financial assets measured at amortised cost.

Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured
following the 'simplified approach' at an amount equal to
the lifetime ECL at each reporting date right from initial
recognition. In respect of other financial assets measured
at amortised cost, the loss allowance is measured at 12
months ECL for financial assets with low credit risk at the
reporting date. Where there is a significant deterioration in
the credit risk, the loss allowance is measured since initial
recognition of the financial asset.

R. Taxes on Income
Current Tax

Income-tax assets and liabilities are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, by the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax (both assets and liabilities) is calculated
using the balance sheet method on temporary differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the
reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The amount
of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset
if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax

assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes
relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.

Current tax and Deferred Tax items are recognised in
correlation to the underlying transaction either in the
Statement of Profit & Loss, other comprehensive income
or directly in equity.

S. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing
the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effect of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

T. Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, cash,
cheques and draft on hand. The Company considers all
highly liquid investments with original maturity of three
months or less and that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where
by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals
of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and
item of income or expenses associated with investing
or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities are segregated.

U. Government Grants

Government grants are recognized to the extent they are
received in cash or kind.

When the grant relates to an expense item, the same is
deducted in reporting the related expense in the Statement
of Profit or Loss for which it is intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to property, plant and
equipment are presented as deferred income and are
credited to the Statement of Profit & Loss on a systematic
basis over the useful life of the asset and in the proportions
in which depreciation expense on the assets is recognised.

Grants related to income are deducted in reporting the
related expense.

V. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and
Assumptions

The preparation of the Company's financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to
the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in
future periods.

Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, are described
below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates
on parameters available when the financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions
about future developments however may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond
the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in
the assumptions when they occur.

W. Impairment of non-financial assets

At each Balance Sheet date, an assessment is made of
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for
an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is
the higher of the assets or Cash-Generating Unit's (CGU)
fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are
largely independent of those from other assets or groups
of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and
is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining
fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transactions
are taken into account. If no such transactions can be
identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

Company. The Company had remitted the above land cost as per State Government order in the year 1989.

The State Government vide order dated 31st March 2017 rejected the request for the assignment of land and issued orders
to repossess the said land and ordered to collect the arrears of lease amount from 1989 with 12%. The Company filed writ
petition against the said order before the Honourable Madras High Court.

The Hon'ble Madras High Court, Madurai Bench vide Order dt 26.2.2024 has set aside the above Order and remanded back
for fresh consideration. The High Court has also given direction to the revenue authorities to fix the land cost, within 6 months
from the date of Order, depending upon the market value of the land as on the date of the Order and considering the fact that
the company has made huge investments in the said lands believing the words of the Government in G.O. Ms. No.76 Revenue
Department dt. 7.1.1959. The company is hopeful of getting the ownership of the land transferred in its name as per Sec.53A
of the Transfer of Property Act. Accordingly, the said land is continued to be treated as “freehold". The determination of cost
of land by the revenue authorities is pending. The company does not expect the outflow of resources to be material.

b. In the matter of leasehold land in respect of the salt works at Kuda, Dhrangadhra, which is an “Operating Lease", the
Honourable Supreme Court has admitted the SLP filed by the Company against the Order of the Gujarat High Court upholding
that the lease of the aforesaid land is not permanent and hence is terminable. The Company is confident of succeeding in the
Supreme Court

in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their
levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not
measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

e. Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable
price. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to
meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Company's reputation.

c. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the Credit risk, Liquidity risk and Market risk arising from financial instruments.

Risk Management Framework: The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and
oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Risk Management
Committee (RMC), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set
appropriate risk limits to control / monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed
regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and
procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The
Audit Committee is assisted by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures,
the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

Company's financial risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors.

d. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's receivables.

Trade receivables: The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk on an on-going basis throughout each reporting period.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and measurement of loss allowance using Life time
expected credit loss for trade receivables:

f. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, will
affect the Company's income or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive
financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables, long term debt and commodity prices. The
Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
Interest rate risk:

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates, in cases where the
borrowings are measured at fair value through the

Statement of profit and loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing
investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to Interest rate risk:

Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing long term
financial instruments is as follows:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments: A reasonably possible decrease by 100 basis points in interest
rates at the reporting date would have positive impact (before tax) by 189.73 lakhs and ?296.47 lakhs for the outstanding
balance as on 31.3.2026 and 31.3.2025 respectively. Similarly a reasonable possible increase by 100 basis points in interest
rate would have negative impact (before tax) by same amounts.

Currency risk:

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the
Company is Indian Rupee.

To the extent the exposures on purchases and borrowings are not economically hedged by the foreign currency denominated
receivables, the Company uses derivative instruments, like, foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in foreign currency exchange and principal only swap rates. Company does not use derivative financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Company follows
established risk management policies including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge
exposure.

Exposure to currency risk:

The currency profile of financial assets and financial liabilities as on 31st March 2026 & 31st March 2025 are as below:

Sensitivity analysis:

A reasonably possible strengthening of the Indian Rupee against USD at March 31 by 4% would have positive impact
(before tax) by ' 576.18 lakhs and ' 643.39 lakhs for the net unhedged outstanding balance as on 31.3.2026 and 31.3.2025
respectively. Similarly a reasonably possible weakening of the India Rupee against USD would have a negative impact (before
tax) by same amounts.
