of a financial asset not at fair value through
profit or loss, transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial
assets carried at fair value through profit or
loss are expensed in profit or loss.

ii. Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement,
financial assets are classified in following
categories:

a) at amortised cost; or

b) at fair value through other
comprehensive income; or

c) at fair value through profit or loss.

The classification depends on the entity's
business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual terms of the cash
flows.

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for
collection of contractual cash flows where
those cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest are measured
at amortised cost. Interest income from
these financial assets is included in finance
income using the effective interest rate
method (EIR).

Fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for
collection of contractual cash flows and for
selling the financial assets, where the assets'
cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest, are measured at
fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying
amount are taken through OCI, except
for the recognition of impairment gains
or losses, interest revenue and foreign
exchange gains and losses which are
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the financial asset is derecognised,
the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from


2.10 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when there is a present
obligation 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 there is a reliable estimate of the amount of
the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the Balance sheet date.

I f the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted 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 recognised
as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is
a possible obligation arising from past events, the

existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company or a present obligation that arises
from past events where it is either not probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a
reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

2.11 Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

Provisions are recognised for all CSR activity
undertaken by the Company for which an obligation
has arisen during the year and are recognised in
Statement of profit on loss on accrual basis. Provision
is made against unspent amount of CSR.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet
comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short¬
term deposits net of bank overdraft with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in
banks and short-term deposits net of bank overdraft.

2.13 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost
of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed
in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs
in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing
cost also includes exchange differences to the extent
regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

2.14 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to
a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.

a) Financial assets

i. Initial recognition and measurement

At initial recognition, financial asset is
measured at its fair value plus, in the case

equity to Statement of Profit and Loss and
recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest
income from these financial assets is
included in other income using the effective
interest rate method.

Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that
do not meet the criteria for amortised cost
or FVOCI are measured at fair value through
profit or loss. Interest income from these
financial assets is included in other income.

Equity instruments: All equity investments
in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair
value. Equity instruments which are held
for trading and contingent consideration
recognised by an acquirer in a business
combination to which Ind AS103 applies
are classified as at FVTPL. For all other
equity instruments, the Company may
make an irrevocable election to present in
other comprehensive income subsequent
changes in the fair value. The Company
makes such election on an instrument- by¬
instrument basis. The classification is made
on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity
instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value
changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There
is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to
P&L, even on sale of investment. However,
the Company may transfer the cumulative
gain or loss within equity.

Equity instruments included within the
FVTPL category are measured at fair value
with all changes recognised in the profit and
loss.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial
Instruments, the Company applies expected
credit loss (ECL) model for measurement
and recognition of impairment loss on
financial assets that are measured at
amortised cost and FVOCI.

reduces the net carrying amount. Until the
asset meets write off criteria, the Company
does not reduce impairment allowance
from the gross carrying amount.

iii. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

a) the rights to receive cash flows from
the financial asset is transferred or

b) retains the contractual rights to receive
the cash flows of the financial asset
but assumes a contractual obligation
to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients.

Where the financial asset is transferred then
in that case financial asset is derecognised
only if substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset is
transferred. Where the entity has not
transferred substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset, the
financial asset is not derecognised.

b) Financial liabilities

i. Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial
recognition, as financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss and at amortised
cost, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially
at fair value and, in the case of borrowings
and payables, net of directly attributable
transaction costs.

ii. Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities
depends on their classification, as described
below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss include financial liabilities
held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at

For recognition of impairment loss on
financial assets and risk exposure, the
Company determines that whether there
has been a significant increase in the credit
risk since initial recognition. If credit risk
has not increased significantly, 12-month
ECL is used to provide for impairment
loss. However, if credit risk has increased
significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in
subsequent years, credit quality of the
instrument improves such that there is no
longer a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, then the entity
reverts to recognising impairment loss
allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Life time ECLs are the expected credit
losses resulting from all possible default
events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. The 12 month ECL is a portion
of the lifetime ECL which results from
default events that are possible within 12
months after the year end.

ECL is the difference between all contractual
cash flows that are due to the Company in
accordance with the contract and all the
cash flows that the entity expects to receive
(i.e. all shortfalls), discounted at the original
EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an
entity is required to consider all contractual
terms of the financial instrument (including
prepayment, extension etc.) over the
expected life of the financial instrument.
However, in rare cases when the expected
life of the financial instrument cannot be
estimated reliably, then the entity is required
to use the remaining contractual term of
the financial instrument.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)
recognise during the year is recognised
as income/expense in the statement of
profit and loss. In balance sheet ECL for
financial assets measured at amortised
cost is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an
integral part of the measurement of those
assets in the balance sheet. The allowance

fair value through profit or loss. Separated
embedded derivatives are also classified as
held for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments. Gains
or losses on liabilities held for trading are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing
loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss when the
liabilities are derecognised as well as through
the EIR amortisation process. 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 and
Loss.

iii. Non-cumulative redeemable non¬
cumulative non-convertible preference
shares

Redeemable non-cumulative non¬

convertible preference shares where
payment of dividend is discretionary and
which are mandatorily redeemable on a
specific date, are classified as compounded
Instruments. The fair value of the liabilities
portion is determined by discounting
amount repayable at maturity using
market rate of interest. Difference between
proceed receive and fair value of liability on
initial recognition is included in shareholder
equity, net off income tax effect and not
subsequently re-measured. Subsequently
liability component of preference share is
measured at amortised cost.

iv. Derecognition

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 derecognition
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 and Loss as
finance costs.

c) Offsetting financial instruments

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.

2.15 Employee benefits

a) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬
monetary benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months after the end of the year
in which the employees render the related service
are recognised in respect of employees' services
up to the end of the year and are measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities
are settled. The liabilities are presented as current
employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

b) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

i. Defined contribution plan

Provident Fund: Contribution towards
provident fund is made to the regulatory
authorities, where the Company has no
further obligations. Such benefits are
classified as Defined Contribution Schemes
as the Company does not carry any further
obligations, apart from the contributions
made on a monthly basis which are charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Employee's State Insurance Scheme:
Contribution towards employees' state
insurance scheme is made to the regulatory
authorities, where the Company has no
further obligations. Such benefits are
classified as Defined Contribution Schemes
as the Company does not carry any further
obligations, apart from the contributions
made on a monthly basis which are charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

ii. Defined benefit plans

Gratuity (funded): The Company provides
for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the
'Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees
in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity
Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a
lump sum payment to vested employees
at retirement, death, incapacitation or
termination of employment, of an amount
based on the respective employee's
salary. The Company's liability is actuarially
determined (using the Projected Unit Credit
method) at the end of each year. Actuarial
losses/gains are recognised in the other
comprehensive income in the year in which
they arise.

iii. Other long- term employee benefit
obligations

Compensated Absences: Accumulated
compensated absences, which are
expected to be availed or encashed within
12 months from the end of the year are
treated as short term employee benefits. The
obligation towards the same is measured
at the expected cost of accumulating
compensated absences as the additional
amount expected to be paid as a result of
the unused entitlement as at the year end.

Accumulated compensated absences,
which are expected to be availed or
encashed beyond 12 months from the end
of the year end are treated as other long
term employee benefits. The Company's
liability is actuarially determined (using the

Projected Unit Credit method) at the end
of each year. Actuarial losses/gains are
recognised in the statement of profit and
loss in the year in which they arise.

2.16 Contributed equity

Equity shares are classified as equity share capital.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2.17 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Earnings
considered in ascertaining the Company's earnings
per share is the net profit or loss for the year after
deducting preference dividends and any attributable
tax thereto for the year. The weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the year and for
all the years presented is adjusted for events, such as
bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential
equity shares that have changed the number of equity
shares outstanding, without a corresponding change
in resources.

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 is
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.

2.18 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker. The Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the operations of the
Company as contract manufacturing. Consequently,
no separate segment information has been furnished.

2.19 Business Combination

Business Combinations are accounted for using the
acquisition accounting method as at the date of
the acquisition, which is the date at which control
is transferred to the Company. The consideration

transferred in the acquisition and the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised
at fair values on their acquisition date. Goodwill
is initially measured at cost, being the excess of
the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognised for non-controlling
interests, and any previous interest held, over the net
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Consideration transferred does not include amounts
related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.
Such amounts are recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. Transaction costs are expensed as
incurred, other than those incurred in relation to the
issue of debt or equity securities. Any contingent
consideration payable is measured at fair value at the
acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value
of contingent consideration are recognised in the
Statement of profit and loss.

Business Combinations under common control are
accounted as per Appendix C in Ind AS 103 - Business
combinations, at carrying amount of assets and
liabilities acquired and any excess of consideration
issued over the net assets acquired is recognised
as capital reserve on common control business
combination.

3(A) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS,
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of 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 years.

(i) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future
and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the year-end 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.

a) Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for
unused tax losses to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the losses can be utilised.
Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be recognised,
based upon the likely timing and the level
of future taxable profits together with future
tax planning strategies.

b) Defined benefit plans and other long¬
term benefits (gratuity benefits and leave
encashment)

The cost of the defined benefit plans
such as gratuity and leave encashment
are determined using actuarial valuations.
An actuarial valuation involves making
various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These
include the determination of the discount
rate, future salary increases and mortality
rates. Due to the complexities involved in
the valuation and its long-term nature, a
defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive
to changes in these assumptions. All
assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount
and salary growth rate. The discount rate is
based upon the market yields available on
government bonds at the accounting date
with a term that matches that of liabilities.
Salary increase rate takes into account of
inflation, seniority, promotion and other
relevant factors on long term basis. For
details refer Note 35.

c) Impairment of non-financial assets

In assessing impairment, management
estimates the recoverable amount of each
asset or cash-generating units based on
expected future cash flows and uses an
interest rate to discount them. Estimation
uncertainty relates to assumptions
about future operating results and the
determination of a suitable discount rate.

d) Provision against obsolete and slow-
moving inventories

The Company reviews the condition of its
inventories and makes provision against
obsolete and slow-moving inventory items
which are identified as no longer suitable
for sale or use. Company estimates the net
realisable value for such inventories based
primarily on the latest invoice prices and
current market conditions. The Company
carries out an inventory review at each
balance sheet date and makes provision
against obsolete and slow-moving items if
any.

e) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based
on expected credit losses (ECL) model on

trade receivables. The Company uses a
provision matrix to determine impairment
loss allowance on the portfolio of trade
receivables. The provision matrix is based
on its historically observed default rates over
the expected life of the trade receivable and
is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At
every reporting date, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in
the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

3(B) RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification
dated September 09, 2024 and September 28, 2024
notified the companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Second Amendment Rules, 2024 and Companies

through examining the financial position of the related parties and the market in which the related parties operates.

39 SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's operations predominantly relate to contract manufacturing. The Chief Operating Decision Maker
(CODM) reviews the operations of the Company as contract manufacturing. Consequently, no separate segment
information has been furnished herewith.

The Company has disclosed in the consolidated financial statement, the revenue contribution from major external
customer.

40 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial Instrument measured at Amortised cost:

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The amortised cost using effective interest rate (EIR) of non-current financial assets/liabilities are not significantly
different from the carrying amount and therefore the impact of fair value is not considered for above disclosure.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired include cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, term
deposits, and other financial assets.

41 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation
technique:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either

42 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to various financial risks. These risks are categorised into market risk, credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Company's risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and
short term cash flows. The Company does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.

(A) 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. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price
risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings
and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Interest rate risk

I nterest 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. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market
interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans
and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

(B) 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. Credit risk arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers
and other statutory deposits with regulatory agencies and also arises from cash held with banks. The maximum
exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty
credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties,
taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that
portion of loans and borrowings. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax is
affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

(C) 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. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management
who monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
