U. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the
present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Warranties
Provisions of the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the director's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.
Onerous Contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. Estimates are regularly reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances.
Restoration Provisions
Provisions for the costs to restore leased plant assets to their original condition, as required by the terms and conditions of the lease, are recognised when the obligation is incurred, either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period of the lease, at the director's is best estimate of the expenditure that would be required to restore the assets.
Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is disclosed in respect of a possible obligation that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or from a present obligation that arises from past events which are not recognised because:
i. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
ii. the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent Assets
Contingent assets are not recognised but only disclosed when an estimate of the financial effect thereof can be measured. Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within control of the Company.
V. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE:
Non-current assets and disposal group are classified under 'Held for Sale' if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of 'Held for Sale' is met when the non-current assets is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification under 'Held for Sale'. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets those ceases to be classified under 'Held for Sale' shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified under 'Held for Sale' adjusted for any depreciation / amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the 'Held for Sale' criteria.
W. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the year-end, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.
x. dividend
Final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
Y. OTHER MATTERS
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2026, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
4. Critical accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In applying the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors are required to make judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and after considering the impact of macroeconomic factors including geo-political factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (which are presented separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.
i. Business model assessment
Classification and measurement of financial assets depend on the results of the SPPI (Sole Payment of Principal and Interest) and the business model test. The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the asset is evaluated and their performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed and how the managers of the assets are
compensated. The Company monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income that are derecognised prior to their maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring is part of the Company's continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate, whether there has been a change in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets. No such changes were required during the periods presented.
ii. Significant increase in credit risk
ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL for stage 1 assets, or lifetime ECL for stage 2 or stage 3 assets. An asset moves to stage 2 when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. Ind AS 109 does not define what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly increased, the Company takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking information.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty:
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
i. Taxation Provisions
Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. The Company's Current tax provision relates to management's assessment of the amount of tax payable on open tax positions where the liabilities remain to be agreed with the income tax authorities. Uncertain tax items for which a provision is taken relates principally to the interpretation of tax legislation regarding arrangements entered into by the Company. Due to the uncertainty associated with such tax items, there is a possibility that, on conclusion of open tax matters at a future rate, the final outcome may differ significantly.
ii. Calculation of Loss Allowance
When measuring ECL the Company uses reasonable and supportable forward- looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. Expected credit loss model is used to arrive at the loss allowances. Expected loss rates are based on average computed default rate based on historical analysis of trade receivables.
Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collaterals and integral credit enhancements.
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
iii. Discount rate used to determine the carrying amount of the Company's defined benefit obligation
The Company's net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation are disclosed in note 30.
The determination of the Company's defined benefit obligation depends on certain assumptions, which includes selection of the discount rate. The discount rate is set by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on market yields by reference to government bonds. This assumption is considered to be a key source of estimation uncertainty as relatively small change in the assumption used may have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements within the next year. Further information on the carrying amount of the company's defined benefit obligation and the sensitivity of those
amounts to changes in discount rate are provided in note 30.
iv. Non-current assets held for sale
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of the Management's estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the assets held for sale has been estimated using valuation techniques (including -market approach) which include unobservable inputs.
v. Warranty Provision
A provision is estimated for expected warranty claims in respect of products sold during the year on the basis of past experience regarding failure trends of products and costs of rectification or replacement.
vi. Impairment testing
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit. Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections consider past experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments.
NOTES:
1) The Company's lease assets primarily consist of leases for land and material handling equipments.Finance cost accrued during the year is included under Finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2) The aggregate depreciation expense on ROU assets is included under depreciation and amortization expense in the Statement of Profit and loss.
3) The total cash outflow for the leases amounted to ' 41.88 Lakhs.
The average credit period on sales of goods is 45 - 60 days. Interest is charged below 30 days @12% and above 30 days @15% on overdue receivables from dealer, however no interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables (Other than dealer).
The Company always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate, and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. Outstanding customer receivables are reviewed periodically. Provision is made based on expected credit loss method or specific identification method.
The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over 180 days past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade receivables are subject to enforcement activities.
(ii) (a) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of ' 5 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian Rupees. The dividend, if any, proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

1. The Government of India has consolidated 29 existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four labour codes viz the Code on Wages, 2019, the Code on Social Security, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (collectively referred to as the "Codes"). The Codes have been made effective from 21 November, 2025. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations.
The incremental impact of these changes, assessed by the Company, on the basis of the information available, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, is ' 36.89 lakhs for Gratuity and ' 24.47 lakhs for Leave Encashment has been recognised as exceptional item i n the results of the Company for the quarter and year ended 31 March, 2026 respectively.
Once Central / State Rules are notified by the Government on all aspects of the Codes, the Company will evaluate impact, if any, on the measurement of employee benefits and would provide appropriate accounting treatment.
2. 'In 2023, the Company commenced a project to develop a product line for a new market and made certain investments as part of this project. Subsequent to the acquisition of the Company, by Foseco India Limited (FIL) during the year, this project was suspended. As a result, the project related assets have been assessed for impairment and written down to recoverable value. Accordingly, an impairment loss of ' 1,806.20 lakhs has been recognized in the statement of profit and loss and disclosed as an exceptional item, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Ind AS.
Note: the Company does not have outstanding diluted potential Equity shares. Consequently, the basic and diluted earnings per share of the Company remain the same.
30 Provision for Compensated Absences and Gratuity
The Government of India has announced the implementation of the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 with effect from 21st November, 2025, rationalising 29 existing labour laws.
The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations.
The Company has assessed the impact of these changes, the liability as per new labour code is in line with the provision recognised in books of account as per existing Company policy. The Company continues to monitor the finalization of Central / State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the Labour Code and will align policies/pay structure.
a. Long term employee benefit obligations Compensated absences
The leave obligations cover the Company's liability for earned leave which is classified as other long-term benefits.
ii. Gratuity
In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Scheme) covering certain categories of employees. The Gratuity Scheme provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee's last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contributions to the fund managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) through Foseco Crucible (India) Limited Gratuity Fund, under this plan the settlement obligation remains with the Company. The Company funds the liability based on estimations of expected gratuity valuation provided by the Actuary.
The above sensitivity analysis is 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. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the balance sheet.
VII. Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Asset volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields. If plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. All plan assets are maintained in a trust fund managed by a public sector insurer i.e., LIC of India. LIC has a sovereign guarantee and has been providing consistent and competitive returns over the years. The Company has opted for a traditional fund wherein all assets are invested primarily in risk averse markets. The Company has no control over the management of funds but this option provides a high level of safety for the total corpus. A single account is maintained for both the investment and claim settlement and hence, 100% liquidity is ensured. Also, interest rate and inflation risk are taken care of.
Changes in bond yields
A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in yield in the value of the plans' bond holdings.
Future salary escalation and inflation risk
Since price inflation and salary growth are linked economically, they are combined for disclosure purposes. Rising salaries will often result in higher future defined benefit payments resulting in higher present value of liabilities. Further, unexpected salary increases provided at the discretion of the management may lead to uncertainties in estimating this increasing risk.
Asset-Liability mismatch risk
Risk which arises if there is a mismatch in the duration of the assets relative to the liabilities. By matching duration with the defined benefit liabilities, the Company is successfully able to neutralize valuation swings caused by interest rate movements as it has adopted asset-liability management approach.
32 Segment Reporting
(a) Description of segments and principal activities
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief operating decision maker. The Managing Director has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
The Company recognizes its sale of crucibles activity as its only primary business segment since its operations predominantly consist of manufacture and sale of crucibles to its customers. The 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' monitors the operating results of the Company's business as single segment. Accordingly in context of Ind AS "Operating Segments" the principle business of the Company constitute a single reportable segment. Accordingly, income from sale of crucibles comprises the primary basis of segmental information set out in these financial statements.
b) Geographical segments:
The geographical information analyses the Company's revenues and assets by the Company's country of domicile (i.e. India) and outside India presenting geographical information, segment revenue has been on the geographic location of customers and segment assets which have been based on the geographical location of the assets.
c) Information about major customers:
The Company is domiciled in India, however also sells its products outside India. The amount of its revenue from external customers broken down by the location of the customers is shown in table below :
B. Measurement of fair values
(i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs.
Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value the financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
(iii) Valuation processes
The finance team performs the valuation of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes.
34 Financial Risk Management 1 Financial risk management
The Company's activities exposes it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the Company is exposed to and how the Company manages the risk.
(A) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and deposits with banks and other financial instruments. For banks and other financial institutions, only high rated banks/ financial institutions are accepted. The balances with banks, loans given to employees, security deposits are subject to low credit risk and the risk of default is negligible or nil. Hence, no provision has been created for expected credit loss for credit risk arising from these financial assets. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. 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 forward-looking information, for e.g., external credit rating (to the extent available), actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to borrower's ability to meet its obligations is credit risk.
I. Cash and bank balance
Credit risk from balances/ fixed deposits banks is managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are assigned based on corpus of investable surplus and corpus of the investment avenue. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk on account of deposits with banks is as mentioned below -
II. Trade receivables
Credit risk arises from the possibility that customer will not be able to settle their obligations as and when agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts, ageing of accounts receivable and forward looking information. Individual credit limits are set accordingly.
The Company uses the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to assess the impairment gain or loss. As per ECL simplified approach, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account a continuing credit evaluation of Company's customers' financial condition aging of trade accounts receivable the value and adequacy of collateral received from the customers in certain circumstances (if any) the Company's historical loss experience and adjustment based on forward looking information. The Company defines default as an event when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Loss allowance on account of specific identification
Trade receivables provided for on the specific identification basis as of March 31, 2026 are ' 0.22 lakhs ( March 31, 2025 was ' 5.66 lakhs).
(B) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for management of the company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the current working capital is sufficient to meet its current obligatory requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices- such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. Market risk comprises of:
I. Interest rate risk
II. Foreign currency risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.
I) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have any financial instrument with variable interest rates, it is not exposed to interest rate risk.
II) Foreign currency risk
The Company is engaged in international trade and thereby exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR, GBP and JPY. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than company's functional currency (INR). The Company's exposure to foreign currency arises from short term receivables and payables where fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates are generally not significant and consequently limiting the Company's exposure.
III) Interest rate risk
The Company's main interest rate risk arises from deposits placed over a period of time on frequent basis thereby exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company's policy is to have fixed interest rate at the time of deal execution.
IV) Price Risk
The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value that are subject to market price risk. The Company has investment in equity share of a listed Company (subsidiary company), this investment is carried at cost and does carry any price risk.
V) Financial assets carried at fair value as at 31 March, 2026 is ' Nil and financial assets carried at amortized cost as at 31 March, 2026 is ' 6,434.73 lakhs. The Company has assessed the counterparty credit risk in connection with Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and earmarked balances with banks amount to ' 3,693.70 lakhs as at 31 March, 2026 where the Company has assessed the counterparty credit risk.
VI) Trade receivables amounting to ' 2,544.10 lakhs as at 31 March, 2026 is valued at considering provision for allowance under the expected credit loss method. This assessment is based on the likelihood of the recoveries from the customers in the present situation. The Company closely monitors its customers who are going through financial stress and assesses actions such as change in payment terms, recognition of revenue on collection basis etc., depending on severity of each case.
Basis this assessment, the allowance for doubtful trade receivables is considered adequate.
Performance obligations
The Company satisfies its performance obligations pertaining to the sale of crucibles at point in time when the control of goods is actually transferred to the customers. No significant judgment is involved in evaluating when a customer obtains control of promised goods. The payment is generally due within 45-60 days. The Company is obliged for refunds due to shortages during the mode of transportation. There are no other significant obligations attached in the contract with customer.
Transaction price
There is no remaining performance obligation for any contract for which revenue has been recognized till period end. Further, the Company has not applied the practical expedient as specified in para 121 of Ind AS 115 as the Company do not have any performance obligation that has an original expected duration of one year or less or any revenue stream in which consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date.
Determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations
There are no significant judgements involved in ascertaining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, in evaluating when a customer obtains control of promised goods, transaction price and allocation of it to the performance obligations.
Determining the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance obligations
The transaction price ascertained for the only performance obligation of the Company (i.e. Sale of goods) is agreed in the contract with the customer. There is no variable consideration involved in the transaction price except for refund due to shortages which is adjusted with revenue.
37 Transfer Pricing
The Company has developed a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing legislation under section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management is of the opinion that its international transactions are at arm's length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
During the earlier years the Company has applied for Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) before the Central Board of Direct Tax (CBDT) and Government of India for International Inter-company related party transactions with Associated Enterprises (AE). The Company has entered into in APA agreement with CBDT dated 18 August, 2021 for 5 years ended 31 March, 2021.
The Company has also filed application for renewal of APA agreement for five years (FY 2021-22 to 2025-26) on 26 March 2021 and current tax working for FY 2024-25 is calculated based on the APA agreement signed on 18th August, 2021 for 5 years ended 31 March, 2021.
The Domestic Transfer Pricing Regulations as prescribed under section 92BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was introduced from April 1, 2012. The Company has been consistently transacting with related parties on an Arm's Length basis in accordance with the Group Transfer Pricing Policy. The Company is of the opinion that there will be no significant changes to Arm's length price under determination in order to comply with the requirement of section 92BA of Income Tax Act. Hence, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company has identified a single cash generating unit ("CGU") based on the business. The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The recoverable value was determined by value in use in cases where there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining the value in use, cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management have been considered.
Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections are considered for next 5 years and consider past experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 2% growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 12%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation of recoverable amount to a change in key parameters, based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount other than the amount.
39 On August 22, 2025, Morgan Advanced Materials plc, the ultimate holding company of Morganite Crucible (India) Ltd (MCIL), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Vesuvius Plc to divest its Molten Metal Systems (MMS) business, which includes a 75% equity stake in MCIL for aggregate consideration of ' 65,394 lakhs.
The transaction has been executed through a share swap arrangement. As part of this deal, Foseco India Ltd (FIL), a Vesuvius Group entity, has acquired 75% stake in MCIL from Morganite Crucible Ltd (UK) and Morgan Terrassen B.V., and in return, FIL has issued new equity shares to MCIL's promoters under the share swap structure in the agreed ratio.
FIL received in principle approvals from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on 3 November, 2025 and 4 November, 2025, respectively. Subsequently on 12 November, 2025, upon fulfillment of all terms and conditions stipulated in the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) dated 22 August, 2025, the Vesuvius Group, through Foseco India Limited, acquired control over MCIL.
The acquisition triggered a Mandatory Tender Offer (MTO) under Regulations 3(1) and 4 of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations. Following the completion of the MTO, FIL holds 76.77% of the issued share capital of FCIL, meaning that the Company's public shareholding has fallen below the statutory limit of 25%. FIL is in the process of taking steps to return the public shareholding to 25%.
Following the acquisition Foseco Crucible (India) Limited applied for a change in name with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
With effect from 9 February, 2026, Morganite Crucible (India) Limited has been renamed as Foseco Crucible (India) Limited, as evidenced by the Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the change of name.
The same certificate was submitted to the BSE, following which the Company's name has also been updated in the BSE records.
