p. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises when there is a presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events, for example, legal disputes or onerous contracts. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognised. Contingent liability is disclosed for:
Ý Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or
Ý Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised.
q. Employee benefits
Expenses and liabilities in respect of employee benefits are recorded in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 19- Employee Benefits.
Defined benefit plans
Long-term employee benefits
Gratuity: The Company has computed its liability towards future payments of gratuity to employees, on actuarial valuation basis which is determined based on project unit credit method and the charge for current year is debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising on the measurement of defined benefit obligation is charged/ credited to other comprehensive income.
Compensated absences: Liability for compensated absences that are not short term, are determined on actuarial valuation basis which is determined based on project unit credit method and the charge for current year is debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising on the measurement of defined benefit obligation is charged/ credited to profit or loss.
Short-term employee benefits
Expense in respect of other short-term benefits is recognised on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee.
r. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. In accordance with Ind AS 108 - Operating Segments, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of internal reports used by the Company's Management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.
t. Dividend Payout
Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are debited directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefit. It is included in other liabilities when the dividends have been approved in a general meeting but not distributed prior to the reporting date.
u. Contract assets/liabilities
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Contract liabilities (Unearned or deferred revenue is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues). Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Company reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.
v. Interest income
Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and rate applicable. For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) i.e. the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. The future cash flows include all other transaction costs paid or received, premiums or discounts if any, etc.
2.1 Recent accounting pronouncement
Recent accounting pronouncement issued but not made effective
There are no standards that are issued but not yet effective as on 31 March 2025.
Recent pronouncements
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.
Amendments to Ind AS 116 - Lease liability in a sale and leaseback
The amendments require an entity to recognise lease liability including variable lease payments which are not linked to index or a rate in a way it does not result into gain on Right of Use asset it retains.
Introduction of Ind AS 117
MCA notified Ind AS 117, a comprehensive standard that prescribe, recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements, to avoid diversities in practice for accounting insurance contracts and it applies to all companies i.e., to all "insurance contracts" regardless of the issuer. However, Ind AS 117 is not applicable to the entities which are insurance companies registered with IRDAI.
The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that these amendments do not have a significant impact on the Financial Statements.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
When preparing the financial statements, the Management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results are likely to differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. Information about significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:
(i) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of non-financial assets
The evaluation of indicators for impairment of non¬ financial assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in impact the recoverable amount of the assets.
(ii) Contingent liabilities
The Company has certain legal proceedings which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against the Company often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, management consults with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters related to litigation and taxes. The Company accrues a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
(iii) Recoverability of financial assets
At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates and other factors, the Management
assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding financial assets.
(iv) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of Goodwill
The evaluation of indicators for impairment of Goodwill requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in impact the carrying amount of the Goodwill.
(v) Inventories
Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.
(vi) Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management's estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses amount
6. Goodwill (contd.)
Note: Goodwill was recognised in financial year 2016-17 post acquisition of Jupiter Alloys & Steel India Limited amounting to ' 5,104.00 lakhs. It was amortised upto financial year 2019-20 under earlier accounting standards. Post transitioning of the Company into Indian Accounting Standard, the Company has not amortised Goodwill as per the requirement of Ind AS 38. Carrying amount of the goodwill has been allocated to the entire Company in the absence of any separate cash generating units (CGUs). The recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on value-in-use calculations.
The Company tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a three year period. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to be higher than its carrying amount and hence no impairment loss was recognised during the year.
Nature and purpose of reserve
i. Capital reserve
Represents excess of net assets taken over by the Company over purchase consideration, as per the Scheme of Amalgamation, which took place during the earlier year w.e.f., 01 October 2019.

Terms of allotment of convertible warrants ("Warrants")

The above matters are subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The legal proceedings, when ultimately concluded will not, in the opinion of the management that it is possible, but not probable, that the action will succeed and accordingly no provision for any liability has been made in the financial statements. In respect of above contingent liabilities, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, pending resolution of the respective proceedings.
B. Commitments

C. Risk exposure
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Company is exposed to various risks as follows:
(i) Interest risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
(ii) Longitivity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
(iii) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
D. Other long term benefits:
