p) Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets
(i) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If 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 recognized as a finance cost.
(ii) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non¬ occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
(iii) Contingent assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by- the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. The Company does not recognize the contingent asset in its standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the Company disclose a brief description of the nature of contingent assets at the end of the reporting period. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and the Company recognize such assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
q) Retirement and other employee benefits Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬ monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employee service upto the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amount expected to be paid at undiscounted value when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Defined benefit plan - Gratuity
The Employee's Gratuity Fund Scheme, which is defined benefit plan, maintains its investments with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The liabilities with respect to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method on the balance sheet date, based upon which the Company contributes to the Gratuity Scheme. The difference, if any, between the actuarial valuation of the gratuity of employees at the year end and the balance of funds is provided for as assets/ (liability) in the books. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under employee benefit expense in standalone statement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements
• Net interest expense or income
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit and loss in subsequent periods. Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are retirement benefit plans under which the Company pays fixed contributions to separate entities (funds)
or financial institutions or state managed benefit schemes. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The defined contributions plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Other employee benefit - Compensated absence
Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed after the balance sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged to standalone statement of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses are determined. The Company presents the entire leave balance at the end of reporting period as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have a right at end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at twelve months after the reporting period
r) 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.
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component for which the Company has applied practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies in section "Revenue from contracts with customers".
For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to
cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Subsequent measurement
(I) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A ‘financial asset’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
(i) Business model test: The objective is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realize its fair value changes) and;
(ii) Cash flow characteristics test: The
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
This category is most relevant to the company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The EIR amortization is
included in other income in statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
(II) Investments in mutual funds
Investments in mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Fair value changes on instruments measured at FVTPL is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Income earned on instruments designated at FVTPL is accrued in other income taking into account any discount/ premium and qualifying transaction costs being an integral part of instrument.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:
(i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(ii) t he Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass through" arrangement and either;
• the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
• the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
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 for financial assets.
ECL is the weighted average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:
a) All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.
b) Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
Trade receivables
I n respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
Other financial assets
In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant
increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
(II) Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, borrowings, as appropriate payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company financial liabilities include borrowings, trade payables, security deposits, liabilities towards services and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, the measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in standalone statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included as finance costs in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Trade Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually payable basis varying trade term. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
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 recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company's senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company's operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financials assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
s) Derivative financial instruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses forward currency contracts as derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind AS 109 are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to standalone statement of profit and loss.
t) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
u) Dividend
The Company recognizes a liability' to make the payment of dividend to owners of equity, when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
v) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are 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 period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of 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 are adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive equity shares.
w) Investment in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity.
Impairment of investment
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying
amount, the impairment loss is recorded in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the Investment is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the cost of the Investment. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in standalone statement of profit and loss.
Investments are accounted in accordance with IND AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale. On disposal of investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the standalone statement of profit and loss.
x) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method whereby a profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transaction of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
y) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker as defined under Ind AS 108. Refer notes to the financial statements for segment information presented.
z) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the standalone financial statements requires the management of Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Significant management judgements
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the standalone financial statements.
(i) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions of financial assets are 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 Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(iii) Provisions
At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingent liabilities. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.
(iv) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company has applied judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.
Significant estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone 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.
(i) Impairment of Property, plant equipment, Investment properties and CWIP
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budgets. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash- inflows and the growth rate used.
(ii) Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/ amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of assets.
(iii) Net realizable value of inventory
The determination of net realisable value of inventory involves estimates based on prevailing market conditions, current prices, the estimated future selling price and selling cost.
(iv) Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of 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.
(v) Fair value measurement disclosures
Management applies valuation techniques (including but not limited to the use of illiquidity discount on investments) to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.
aa) Events after the reporting period
If the Company reviews information after the reporting period, but prior to the date of approved for issue, about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, it assess whether the information affects the amounts that it recognises in its standalone financial statements. The Company adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect any adjusting events after the reporting period and update the disclosures that relate to those conditions in light of the new information. For non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the Company does not change the amounts recognised in its financial statements but disclose the nature of the non-adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.
bb) New and amended standards that have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, performance and/or disclosures.
These are certain amendments that apply for the first time for the year ending March 31, 2026, but do not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company has not early adopted any standards or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective
a) Lack of exchangeability - Amendments to Ind AS 21
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025, which amend Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025. When amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
b) Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Supplier Finance Arrangements
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
c) International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to Ind AS 12
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 12 Income Taxes in response to the OECD’s BEPS Pillar Two rules and include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - the use of which is required to be disclosed - applies immediately.
The remaining disclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
d) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non- current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.
If there is a breach of a material covenant of a long term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period, resulting in the liability becoming payable on demand as at the reporting date, and the lender agrees—after the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue—not to demand repayment for at least 12 months as a consequence of the breach, this shall be treated as an adjusting event. Accordingly, the entity is not required to classify the liability as current.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025 retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
cc) Standards issued but not yet effective
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants
In accordance with Ind AS 1 currently applicable, breach of an immaterial covenant
is ignored deciding in current vs non-current classification of liabilities. Also, in case of breach of a material covenant of a non-current loan on or before the reporting date, the entity can obtain waiver from the lender after the reporting date and continue to classify the loan as non-current liability. In accordance with changes to Ind AS 1 already notified by the MCA, the above relaxations to classify loan as non-current liability will not be available from FY 2026-27 onward and need to be applied retrospectively. Consequently:
• A breach of either material or immaterial covenant will trigger current classification of liability.
• To continue classifying loan as non¬ current liability, entities will need to obtain waiver from the breach on or before the reporting date.

Disclosures pursuant to Ind AS - 19 "Employee Benefits" (notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act)
read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provision
of the Act) are given below :
(A) Defined benefit plan
The Company operates following defined benefit obligations:
(a) Gratuity: The employees' gratuity fund scheme, which is a defined benefit plan, maintains its investments with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the new labour code (Code of Social Security, 2020). 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 employees last drawn wages computed proportionately for 15 days wages multiplied for the number of years of service. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet:
(x) The plan assets are maintained with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
(xi) Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.
(xii) Enterprise best estimate of contribution during the next year is Nil (March 31, 2025: f 200.00 lakh).
(xiii) The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while holding all other assumptions constraint. In practice it is unlikely to occur and change in some of the assumption 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 at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
(xiv) The weighted average duration of defined benefit plan obligation at the end of each reporting period is 7.48 years (March 31, 2025: 7.59 years).
(xv) The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation are after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is as certified by the Actuary.
(xvi) The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(xvii) Risks associated with plan provisions
The Company is exposed to number of risks in the defined benefit plans. Most significant risks pertaining to defined benefit plans and management’s estimation of the impact of these risks are as follows:
Salary growth risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Interest rate risk
A decrease in interest rate in future years will increase the plan liability.
Life expectancy risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Withdrawals risk
Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact the plan liability.
(B) Defined contribution plan
Following are the contribution to defined contribution plan, recognised as expense for the year:
(a) The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free. The settlement for these balances occurs through payment. The Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties for the year ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025: Nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
(b) Terms and conditions related to material transactions are as below:
(i) Revenue from sale / purchase of products and services
Transactions of sales /purchase of products and services with related parties are entered into on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm’s length transaction and in the ordinary course of business. The Company mutually negotiates and agrees consideration and payment terms with the related parties by benchmarking the same to transactions with non-related parties, who purchase/sale product and services of the Company in similar terms
(ii) Rental income from investment property
The Company has leased its investment property to a related party in the ordinary course of business and on an arm’s length basis. The rental and other terms of the arrangement are consistent with prevailing market conditions for comparable properties. The managment also obtained a benchmarking study during the current year from an independent valuer and hence ensure that lease rentals are in line with such valuation.
(iii) Purchases of property, plant and equipment
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are made from related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm’s length transaction. The Company mutually negotiates and agrees price and payment terms with the related parties by benchmarking the similar transaction from non-related parties.
(iv) Outstanding balance from / to related parties
Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free. The settlement for these balances occurs through payment. The Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties for the year ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025: Nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
(a) As at March 31, 2026, the Company has not granted any loans to the promoters, directors, KMPs and the related parties (as defined under Companies Act, 2013), either severally or jointly with any other person (March 31, 2025: Nil).

48 Fair value measurements
Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments
apart from investment in subsidiary, which are carried at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27.
Valuation Techniques
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is 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 following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair value:
(i) The fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings are determined by using effective interest rate (EIR) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31, 2026 was assessed to be insignificant.
(ii) Long-term receivables/payables are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the counterparty and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected credit losses of these receivables.
(iii) The carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in financial statement are a reasonable approximation of their fair value since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amount would be significantly different from the values that would be entitled to received or settled.
(iv) The fair values of the investment in mutual fund has been determined based on net assets value (NAV) available in open market and are level-1 instruments.
(v) The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments with banks comprising of forward exchange contract, valued at mark to market using valuation techniques which employs the use of market observable inputs. As at year end, the mark-to-market value of these forward contract is based on confirmation from bank and is net of a credit valuation adjustment attributable to derivative counterparty default risk. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the financial instruments recognised at fair value.
(vi) Investments in equity shares of subsidiary are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27, "Separate financial statements" and are not required to be disclosed here.
(vii) Fair value hierarchy
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period for identical assets or liabilities. The mutual funds are valued using the net assets value (NAV) available in open market. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over- the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all 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. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
There are no transfers among levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year.
49 Foreign exchange forward contracts
The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with the intention of reducing the foreign exchange risk of foreign currency receivables and payables and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions. These contracts are not designated in hedge relationships and are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
50 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company, being a manufacturer of polymeric films, is exposed to various market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. The Company’s Risk Management Committee (RMC) and Board of Directors have the overall responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Company’s risk management framework.
The RMC comprises four directors, including two independent directors. It periodically reviews operational, financial, strategic risks and their mitigating factors. The Committee has formulated a comprehensive risk management policy that outlines the framework designed to minimize the impact of uncertainty on the business. The primary objective of this policy is to ensure sustainable business growth with stability and to promote a proactive approach toward identifying, evaluating, reporting and resolving risks associated with the Company’s operations. This process provides assurance that the Company’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and risk objectives. Through regular training, management standards and procedures, the Company aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment where all employees understand their roles and obligations related to risk management.
The Risk Management Committee is supported in its oversight role by the chief risk officer and the risk management team. The RMC undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures. The results of these reviews are reported to the Board of Directors.
Below notes explain the sources of risks in which the Company is exposed to and how it manages the risks.
(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 commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables, payables and derivative financial instruments. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at reporting date. The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations, provisions and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item and equity is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates also relates to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in foreign currency). The Company manages its foreign currency risk partly by taking forward exchange contract for transactions of sales and purchases and partly balanced by purchasing of goods/services from the respective countries. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting periods are as follows
Foreign currency risk sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in currency exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company profit before tax and equity is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities as given below:
(ii) 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. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings and working capital. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Company optimises the interest rate risk by regularly monitory the interest rate in the best interest of the Company. The Company has following fixed rate and floating interest rate on long term borrowing:
The assumed movement in basis points and interest rate sensitivity is based on currently observable market environment.
(iii) Commodity price risks
The main raw materials which company procures are PTA, MEG and homopolymer and their prices are to a great extent linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly and any adverse fluctuation in the raw material cost can impact the Company’s operating margins depending upon the ability of the Company to pass on the increase in costs to its customers. As selling prices are regular negotiated / adjustment of sale prices on the basis of changes in commodity prices. The Company is not significantly impacted by commodity price risk.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents or adequate sources of financing through the use of short term loans and cash credit facility. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be low.
(c) 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 towards the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including foreign exchange transaction and other financial instrument. The maximum amount of the credit exposure is equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The company only deals with parties which has good credit rating/worthiness given by external rating agencies or based on company's past assessment.
(i) Trade receivables
The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. All customer are subjected to credit assessments as a precautionary measure, and the adherence of all customers to collection due dates is monitored on an on-going basis, thereby practically eliminating the risk of default.
For certain customers, the Company has obtained credit guarantee insurance, which covers up to 95% of the credit risk on outstanding balances, subject to the limits specified in the insurance policy. As a result, the Company’s exposure to credit risk on these receivables is significantly mitigated. Additionally, the Company's trade receivables are diversified across a wide base of customers operating in various industries and geographies, thereby eliminating any significant concentration of credit risk.
The Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on trade receivables by lifetime expected credit loss method based on provision matrix. The provision rates are based on days past due for grouping at customers with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability weightage outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supporting information that is available at the reporting date about the past events, current condition and future forecast. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
(ii) Financial instruments and deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits and mutual funds. 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 for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 is the carrying amounts.
The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. No impairment loss is considered necessary in respect of these fixed deposits that are with recognised commercial banks and are not past due over past years. Trade receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in the repayment plan with the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure relating to financial instrument is noted in table below:
51 Capital management
For the purposes of Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and maximize shareholder value.

55 The Company has established 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. Since the law requires existence of such information and documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the Company is in the process of updating the documentation for the transactions entered into with the associated enterprises during the financial year and expects such records to be in existence latest by due date as required under the law. The management is of the opinion that its transactions with the associated enterprises 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 income tax.
56 The Company has maintained its books of accounts in accounting software (SAP), which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit logs) facility which was enabled through out the year for all the relevant transactions recorded in such software. However, audit logs with respect to privileged/ administrative access rights and also at database level were not enabled due to various system limitations and performance issues. Consequently, the Company was not able to maintain and preserve audit trail in compliance with the requirement of proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
57 On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified four new Labour Codes (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) consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour and employment published draft central rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Company has assessed that there is no material impact due to changes in these regulations to the standalone financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central/State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the labour codes and would provide appropriate accounting effect as and when such clarifications are notified.
58 During the current year, the company has executed a share purchase agreement (SPA) dated March 25, 2026, for acquisition of 51% of the equity share capital of TechNova Printrite Products Private Limited ("TechNova Printrite"). Pursuant to SPA, the Company subscribed to the share capital of TechNova Printrite on April 30, 2026, amounting to ~?6,209.75 lakh, also subject to closing adjustments. Since, the investment is made subsequent to reporting date, hence there is no impact of the acquisition on standalone financial statement.
59 The figures for the corresponding previous year have been regrouped/ reclassified, wherever considered necessary, to make them comparable with current year classification.
