m. Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets:
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event,
the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows (representing the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation
at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The unwinding of the discount is recognised as
finance costs. Expected future operating losses are
not provided for.
Onerous contracts:
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected
economic benefits to be derived by the Company
from the contract are lower than the unavoidable
cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
The provision for an onerous contract is measured at
the present value of the lower of the expected cost of
terminating the contract and the expected net cost of
continuing with the contract. Before such a provision is
made, the Company recognises any impairment loss on
the assets associated with that contract.
Contingencies:
Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to
claims, litigations, assessments, fines and penalties are
recognised when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets:
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible
but not probable obligation, or a present obligation
that may, but probably will not, require an outflow
of resources, or a present obligation whose amount
cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do
not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the
possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets has to be recognised in the
standalone financial statements in the period
in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of
economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are
assessed continually and no such benefits were
found for the current financial year.
n. Earnings per share:
Basic Earnings Per Share (‘EPS') is computed by
dividing the net profit attributable to the equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing the net
profit by the weighted average number of equity
shares considered for deriving basic earnings per
share and also the weighted average number of
equity shares that could have been issued upon
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the year, unless
issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings
per share, only potential equity shares that are
dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share
or increases loss per share are included. The number
of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are
adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for
the share splits.
o. Statement of cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby net profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted
for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature
and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash
receipts or payments and item of income or expenses
associated with investing or financing cash flows.
The cash flows from regular revenue generating
(operating activities), investing and financing
activities of the Company are segregated.
p. Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid financial
instruments, which are readily convertible into known
amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant
risk of change in value and having original maturities
of three months or less from the date of purchase,
to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted
for withdrawal and usage.
q. Biological assets:
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured at
fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the
minimal transportation charges for transporting the
cattle to the market but excludes finance costs and
income taxes. Changes in fair value of livestock are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Costs
such as vaccination, fodder and other expenses are
expensed as incurred.
r. Events after reporting date:
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date
provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end
of the reporting period, the impact of such events is
adjusted within the standalone financial statements.
Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of
material size or nature are only disclosed.
S. Leases:
The Company assesses at contract inception
whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of
an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The Company recognises lease liabilities to make
lease payments and right-of-use assets representing
the right to use the underlying assets
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the
commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted
for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The
cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount
of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs
incurred, and lease payments made at or before
the commencement date less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the
Company at the end of the lease term or the
cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option,
depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful
life of the asset
The right-of-use assets are also subject to
impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in
section (f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease
term. The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in substance fixed payments) less any
lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments
that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments,
the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at
the lease commencement date because the interest
rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease
liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of
interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities
is remeasured if there is a modification, a change
in the lease term, a change in the lease payments
(e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a
change in an index or rate used to determine such
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an
option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease
recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less from the
commencement date and do not contain a purchase
option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets
recognition exemption to leases of offices, godowns,
equipment, etc. that are of low value. Lease payments
on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an asset are classified as operating
leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on
a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised over the lease term
on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents
are recognised as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
t. Segment reporting - Identification of segments
An operating segment is a component of the
Company that engages in business activities from
which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
whose operating results are regularly reviewed
by the company's Chief Operating Decision Maker
(“CODM”) to make decisions for which discrete
financial information is available. The Company's
operating businesses are organized and managed
separately according to the nature of products and
services provided, with each segment representing
a strategic business unit that offers different
products and serves different markets. Based on the
management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the
CODM evaluates the Company's performance and
allocates resources based on an analysis of various
performance indicators by business segments and
geographic segments
u. Non-current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale
and discontinued operations Non-current assets (or
disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than through continuing
use and sale is considered highly probable. They
are measured at the lower of carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell, except for assets such as
deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets and contractual rights
under insurance contracts, which are specifically
exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is
recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down
of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less
cost to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent
increase in the fair value less cost to sell of any
asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any
cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A
gain or loss not previously recognized by the date
of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal
group) is recognized at the date of de-recognition.
Non-Current assets (including those that are part of
a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest
and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of
a disposal group classified as held for sale continue
to be recognised. Non-current assets classified
as held for sale and the asset of a disposal group
classified as held for sale are presented separately
from the other assets in the balance sheet. The
liabilities of disposal group classified as held for
sale are presented separately from other liabilities
in the balance sheet. A discontinued operations is a
component of the entity that has been disposed of
or is classified as held for sale and that represents
a separate major line of business or geographical
area of operations, is a part of a single co-ordinated
plan to dispose of such line of business or area of
business of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired
exclusively with a view of resale. The result of
discontinued operations are presented separately in
the statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of value of investment property is Rs 88,354.47 ( March 31,2024 is Rs 84,487.55) based on market assessable data.
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Though the Company measures investment
property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property has been determined by external, independent
registered valuer as defined under Rule 2 of the Compaines (Registered valuers and valution) Rules, 2017 having appropriate
recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property valued. The major inputs
used are location, locality, facilities, amenities, quality of construction, residual life of building, business potential, supply and
demand, local nearby enquiry, market feedback of investigation and Ready Reckoner published by the Government.
The Company does not have any restriction on the realisability of its investment property and no contractual obligation to purchase,
construct and develop immovable property. There is no mortgage on the above mentioned investment property.
All resulting fair value estimates for investment properties are included in level 3.

Fair value hierarchy
Level 1
Includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and the mutual funds.
The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting
period and the mutual funds are valued using closing NAV.
Level 2
The fair value of financial instruments not actively traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which
maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all the 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.
i) The carrying values of current financial liabilities and current financial assets are taken as their fair value because of their
short term nature.
ii) The carrying values of non-current financial liabilities and non-current financial assets are taken as their fair value based
on their discounted cash flows.
iii) The carrying values of non-current financial liabilities and non-current financial assets excluding investment in
subsidiaries is reasonable approximation of fair value
iv) The Company has used quoted market price for determining fair value of investments in quoted equity instruments
and mutual funds.
v) There have been no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 for year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31,
2024 respectively
Significant estimate:
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The
company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions
existing at the end of each reporting period.
Note 35 Financial risk management objectives and policies
1. Financial risk management framework
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
(iv) Commodity Price Risk
Risk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk
management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced
by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management
policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and Company's activities.
The Company's 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 in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and
ad-hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter-party failure to repay or service debt according to the
contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of
creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The entities within the Company have a policy of dealing only with credit
worthy counter parties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk of financial
loss from defaults. Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of
trade receivables, loans receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents, derivatives provided by the Company. None
of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk. The carrying value of financial
assets represents the maximum credit risk.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The
demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates,
also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits
and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal
course of business.
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. The Company observes: actual or expected significant adverse changes
in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the customer's ability to
meet its obligations.
The Company also establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected credit losses in
respect of trade receivables.
Cash and bank balances:
Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as the company generally transacts with banks and financial institutions
with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment on financial assets is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The company
uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the
company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(ii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The
Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet
its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the
Company's reputation. The Company's corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as
settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price
of a financial instrument . The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that effect market risk
sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including deposits,
foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings.
a) 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 change in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. As the Company has debt
obligations with floating interest rates, exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are substantially
dependent of changes in market interest rates.
d) Equity risk
The Company's quoted equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about
future values of the investment securities. The reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Company's senior
management on a regular basis. The senior management reviews and approves all equity investment decisions
(iv) Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk arising out of fluctuation in prices of raw materials (coating material,
metals, acids and chemicals) and fuel (coal and diesel). Such price movements, mostly linked to external factors, can
affect the production cost of the Company. To manage this risk, the Company take steps such as monitoring of prices,
optimising fuel mix and pursue longer and fixed price contracts, where considered necessary. Additionally, processes and
policies related to such risks are controlled by central procurement team and reviewed by the senior management.
2. Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain
investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain
the capital structure the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders. The
Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise
returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all
other equity reserves and debt includes borrowings. Refer note 41 for ratio's analysis.
Note 36 Employee benefit plans
a. Defined contribution plan:
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifying
employees towards Employees' State Insurance contribution (ESI) and Provident fund , which are defined contribution plans.
The contribution are charged to the Statement of profit and loss . During the year, the Company has recognised Rs 1.03 (March
31, 2024: Rs 2.84 ) and Rs 64.77 (March 31, 2024: Rs 96.28) towards Employees' State Insurance contribution (ESI) and
Provident fund contribution.
b. Compensated absences
The accrual for unutilised leave is determined for the entire available leave balance standing to the credit of the employees at
the year end. The value of such leave balances that are eligible for carry forward, is determined by an actuarial valuation as
at the end of the period.The company has recognised income of Rs 14.90 ( Expense for the period ended March 31,2024 : Rs
29.87) to the statement of profit and loss.
c. Defined benefit plan
The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous
service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement / termination is the
employee's last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years
of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan. The Company makes contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India. The
Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based
on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
Risk Exposure:
These defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks as under:
a. Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference
to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
b. Interest rate risk
Decrease in bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this shall be partially off-set by increase in return
as per debt investments.
c. Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of
plan participants.
An increase in the life expectancy will increase the plan's liability.
d. Salary risk
Higher than expected increase in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
