8. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. The expense relating to a provision is presented net of any reimbursement in the statement of profit and loss.
9. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets Contingent Liability
Contingent liability is a possible obligation 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 company or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because
i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of the management/independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
A contingent liability is not recognized but disclosed as per requirements of Ind (AS) 37. The related asset is recognized when the realisation of income becomes virtually certain.
Contingent Asset
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.
10. Employee Benefits
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into separate entities and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefits expense in profit or loss in the period during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due after more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.
The Company pays fixed contribution to Employees’ Provident Fund. The contributions to the fund for the year are recognized as expense and are charged to the profit or loss. The Company’s only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits.
Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s liability is towards gratuity and post-retirement medical facility. The gratuity is funded by the Company and is managed by separate trust PTC INDIA Gratuity Trust. The Company has Post-Retirement Medical Scheme (PRMS), under which eligible retired employee and the spouse are provided medical facilities and avail treatment as out-patient subject to a ceiling fixed by the Company.
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs is recognised and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in OCI in the period in which they arise.
Other long-term employee benefits
Benefits under the Company’s leave encashment constitute other long term employee benefits.
The Company’s obligation in respect of leave encashment is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any
actuarial gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Short-term benefits
Short term employee benefits are that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting periods in which the employee rendered the related services.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under performance related pay if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Liability in respect of gratuity, leave encashment and provident fund of employees on deputation with the Company are accounted for on the basis of terms and conditions of deputation of the parent organizations.
11. 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 and financial liabilities are recognized when a Company entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except trade receivables and trade payable which are initially measured at transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified as under:
a) Debt instruments at amortized cost
b) Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
c) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortized cost
A debt instrument is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. 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 EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item.
Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Debt Instruments at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to classify a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’).
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
Equity Investments at FVTPL or FVTOCI
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. 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 recognized 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 recognized in the P&L.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when:
a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) The 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 (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the. risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) 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 recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes 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, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure-
• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
• Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at
FVTOCI
• Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables, and/or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
• All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of
Ind AS 116
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and Credit 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 a subsequent period, 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.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected in a separate line in the P&L as an impairment gain or loss.
The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contract assets and lease held receivables
ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying
amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or 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.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind-AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
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 or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are categorised as equity instruments at FVTOCI and financial assets or financial liabilities that are specifically designated at FVTPL. 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 management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. 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 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.
12. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
13. Dividend to equity holders
The company recognises a liability of dividend to equity holders 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.
14. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost of inventories is measured on First in and First out (FIFO) basis.
Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
15. Property, plant and equipment Recognition and initial measurement
Property, Plant and equipment (PP&E) are carried in the balance sheet on the basis of at cost of acquisition including incidental costs related to acquisition and installation, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Property, Plant and Equipment is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of each item can be measured reliably. Property, Plant and Equipment are initially stated at cost.
Cost of asset includes
(a) Purchase price, net of any trade discount and rebates.
(b) Borrowing cost if capitalization criteria is met.
(c) Cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets which incurred in bringing asset to its working condition for the intended use.
(d) Incidental expenditure during the construction period is capitalized as part of the indirect construction cost to the extent the expenditure is directly related to construction or is incidental thereto.
(e) Present value of the estimated costs of dismantling & removing the items & restoring the site on which it is located if recognition criteria are met.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.
Subsequent Measurement
Subsequent cost relating to Property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if:
a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and
b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation and useful lives
The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using written down method except wind mill and leasehold land. The useful lives are at the rates and in the manner provided in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013
The depreciation on Wind Mills has been changed on Straight Line Method (SLM) at rates worked out based on the useful life and in the manner prescribed in the Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Depreciation on additions to/deductions from property, plant & equipment during the year is charged on pro-rata basis from/up to the month in which the asset is available for use/disposed.
Advance paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is shown under the head non¬ financial assets in the balance sheet.
The cost of assets not available for use is disclosed under Capital Work in Progress till the time they are ready for use.
Where the cost of depreciable assets has undergone a change during the year due to increase/decrease in long term liabilities on account of exchange fluctuation, price adjustment, change in duties or similar factors, the unamortized balance of such asset is charged off prospectively over the remaining useful life determined following the applicable accounting policies relating to depreciation/ amortization.
Where it is probable that future economic benefits deriving from the cost incurred will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the item can be measured reliably, subsequent expenditure on a PPE along-with its unamortized depreciable amount is charged off prospectively over the revised useful life determined by technical assessment.
In circumstance, where a property is abandoned, the cumulative capitalized costs relating to the property are written off in the same period.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
The Company follows component approach as envisaged in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The approach involves identification of components of the asset whose cost is significant to the total cost of the asset and have useful life different from the useful life of the remaining assets and in respect of such identified components, useful life is determined separately from the useful life of the main asset.
Modification or extension to an existing asset, which is of capital nature and which becomes an integral part thereof is depreciated prospectively over the remaining useful life of that asset.
Asset costing less than Rs. 5000/- is fully depreciated in the year of capitalization.
Derecognition
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
16. Earnings per equity share
In determining basic earnings per share, the Company considers the net profit attributable to equity shareholders. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period/year. In determining diluted earnings per share, the net profit attributable to equity shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period/year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
17. Share based payments Equity settled transactions
The excess of market price of underlying equity shares as of the date of the grant of options over the exercise price of the options given to employees under the employee stock option plan is recognize as deferred stock compensation cost and amortized over the vesting period, on a straight line basis. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense
18. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the agency nature transactions, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer. The specific recognition criteria
described below must also be met before revenue is recognised. Revenue from other income comprises interest from banks, employees, etc., dividend from investments in associates and subsidiary companies, dividend from mutual fund investments, surcharge received from customers for delayed payments, other miscellaneous income, etc.
Sale of power
Sale is recognized when the power is delivered by the Company at the delivery point in conformity with the parameters and technical limits and fulfilment of other conditions specified in the Power Sales Agreement. Sale of power is accounted for as per tariff specified in the Power Sales Agreement. The sale of power is accounted for net of all local taxes and duties as may be leviable on sale of electricity for all electricity made available and sold to customers.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of power, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Rendering of services
The company provides consultancy services to its customers. The Company recognises revenue over time, using the output method measuring the completion of different stages of consultancy project relative to the total completion the service, because the customer receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company over the time.
Revenue from transactions identified as of agency nature
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customers, the Company determines whether it is a principal or an agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. The company is a principal and records revenue on a gross basis if it controls the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer. However, the company is an agent and records revenue on net basis if it does not control the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration
before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Surcharge Income
The surcharge on late payment/ non- payment from customers is recognized when:
i) the amount of surcharge can be measured reliably; and
ii) there is no significant uncertainty that the economic benefits associated with the surcharge transaction will flow to the entity.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition. When calculating the effective interest rate, the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight¬ line basis over the lease terms unless the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost. Rental Income is included in revenue in the statement of profit and loss.
19. Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’
20. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as a part of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
21. Business Combinations
Business Combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, except for common control transactions which are accounted using the pooling of interest method that is accounted at carrying values. The consideration transferred in the acquisition and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair values on their acquisition date, which is the date at which control is transferred to the Company. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Where the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceed the consideration transferred, after reassessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is recognized as capital reserve. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
22. Assets held for Sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.3 Use of estimates and management judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may impact the application of accounting policies and the reported value of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and related disclosures concerning the items involved as well as contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The estimates and management’s judgments are based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable and prudent in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In order to enhance understanding of the financial statements, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is as under:
a) Useful life of property, plant and equipment
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.
b) Recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions regarding in particular the expected market outlook and future cash flows. Any changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount and could result in impairment.
c) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
d) Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation 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, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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 reporting date.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
f) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement 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.
g) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
h) Provisions and contingencies
The assessments undertaken in recognizing provisions and contingencies have been made in accordance with Ind AS 37, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. The evaluation of the likelihood of the contingent events has required best judgment by management regarding the probability of exposure to potential loss. Should circumstances change following unforeseeable developments, this likelihood could alter.
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. There are certain obligations which managements have concluded based on all available facts and circumstances are not probable of payment or difficult to quantify reliably and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in notes.
i) Leases
Significant judgment is required to apply lease accounting to Ind AS 116 ‘Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease’. In assessing the applicability to arrangements entered into by the Group, management has exercised judgment to evaluate the right to use
the underlying asset, substance of the transactions including legally enforceable agreements and other significant terms and conditions of the arrangements to conclude whether the arrangement needs the criteria under Appendix C to Ind AS 116.
j) Assets held for sale
Significant judgment is required to apply the accounting of non¬ current assets held for sale under Ind AS 105 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. In assessing the applicability, management has exercised judgment to evaluate the availability of the asset for immediate sale, management’s commitment for the sale and probability of sale within one year to conclude if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
k) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:-
Determining method to estimate variable consideration and assessing the constraint
Certain contracts for the sale of electricity give rise to variable consideration. In estimating the variable consideration, the Company is required to use either the expected value method or the most likely amount method based on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. The most likely amount method is used for those contracts
with a single volume threshold, while the expected value method is used for contracts with more than one volume threshold.
Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers whether the amount of variable consideration is constrained and the uncertainty on the variable consideration will be resolved within a short time frame.
Principal versus agent considerations
The company enters into agreements with its customers for sales of power at power exchanges. Under these contracts, the company determines that it does not control the goods before they are transferred on the basic that it does not have inventory risk, therefore the company determines the transactions at exchange are of agency nature.

a) The Company had an arrangement with a supplier for purchase of power. The supplier claimed that the Company did not off take the contracted power and claimed a compensation of ' 84.95 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 84.95 crore). The arbitrator concluded the arbitration in favour of the Company, however, the supplier has contested the award at High Court.
b) The Company had filed an appeal with the Hon’ble Supreme Court in 2014 against the Hon’ble APTEL’s Order dated April 4, 2013, which required the Company to pay the compensation of ' 41.70 Crore (along with simple interest @ 6% p.a.) to the power supplier due to the non-offtake of power by the Company as per the “Take or Pay” clause of the arrangement. As per the Court’s directions, the Company deposited ' 20.85 Crore (50% of the compensation, against which provision existed for ' 20.48 crore) with the supplier in April 2013. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide order dated October 27, 2014 admitted the case and directed the parties to maintain status quo.
c) Pursuant to dispute with one of the suppliers, the supplier agreed to pay the long term open access (LTA) charges but subsequently refuted its liability to pay the same. The Central Transmission Utility (CTU) raised a claim of ' 31.68 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 31.68 crore) on the Company towards the outstanding LTA charges. However subsequently the Company surrendered the long term open access. The claim of CTU is being contested before Appellate Tribunal of Electricity, which has granted a stay on the order of CERC, which had earlier allowed the claim of CTU.
d) CERC allowed the petition filed by one of the Company’s suppliers and inter alia passed certain orders/ directions against the Company for paying 100% of the Long Term Open Access (LTA) charges even though only 95% of the quantum of power is being supplied by its supplier under an interim directions of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and directed the Company to refund the transmission charges of ' 21.77 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 21.77 crore) collected from the supplier and paid to CTU, which is corresponding to 5% of LTA. The Company has filed appeal against the CERC order in Appellate Tribunal for Electricity and APTEL has granted stay of the order of CERC.
e) The Company had a PPA of 1200 MW of power with one of its suppliers, out of which 840 MW was to be sold on long term basis, 216 MW on Merchant trade basis and 144 MW was the free power of the home state. For sale of 840 MW on long term basis,- PTC had PSAs with four DISCOMS. However there was considerable delay on account of certain Force Majeure Events and two DISCOMs illegally terminated the said PSAs and refused to off-take power under the PSAs. The Company had relinquished Long Term Open Access (LTA) in respect of these two DISCOMS.
Though the Company took the LTA but it was agreed that it was being taken on behalf of DISCOMS which were liable to pay the transmission charges. However, PGCIL claimed charges of ' 209.51 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 209.51 crore) from the Company against relinquishment of LTA along with relinquishment charges for Merchant Power and Free Power computed as per formula approved by CERC. The formula approved by CERC is under challenge in APTEL. As per PSAs, the liability for payment of transmission charges was of DISCOMs. In case of one of Discoms, CERC held that the termination of PPA by the Discom was illegal and the Company has to pay to CTU and the Discom is liable to reimburse the same to the Company. Liability towards relinquishment charges regarding the merchant power on the Company is being contested in APTEL. The case relating to other DISCOM and Free power is pending before CERC.
.f) One to the suppliers provided power to the Company from another source. The customer did not pay to the Company for power supplied from the another source. Further, the customer also deducted compensation from the Company for short supply of power by not considering power supplied from the another source. Consequently, the Company also deducted the corresponding amounts from the supplier. This deduction was challenged by the supplier before TNERC which directed the Company to pay the principal amount including interest which computed to ' 19.87 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 19.87 crore). The Company has filed Appeal in APTEL against the order of TNERC.
g) One of the suppliers of the Company has filed a Petition at CERC challenging actions of the Company to appropriate ' 18.82 crore (31 March 2024:' 18.82) which was paid by one of the customers to the Company as Late Payment Surcharge on the outstanding tariff amount of the supplier and needs to be passed on to the Petitioner in terms of PPA. In the opinion of the Company, it had fulfilled all its obligations under the agreement and regulations.
h) The Resolution Professional (RP) had filed a claim against the Company to refund ' 136.66 Crores pleading that the amount has been deducted by the Company from the bills of the supplier. NCLT, Hyderabad dismissed the RP’s claim but held that the Company should have not invoked the Bank Guarantee (BG) of ' 27 Crores from the supplier and the same is to be returned by the Company along with penal interest.
The Company has filed Appeal in NCLAT Chennai against the NCLT order regarding BG. Further, the financial creditors of the suppliers have also filed the appeal against the NCLT order.
The Company is of view that that deductions from bills were as per the agreements and PTC was well within its rights to make the deductions. Though, PTC has a strong ground in Appeal before NCLAT, as an abundant caution, the Company has created a provision of' 27 Crore against the amount of BG invoked.
i) One of the customers of the Company filed a petition at Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) against the Company and its supplier to pay the additional costs of ' 34.63 Crore incurred by it (the customer) due to breach and unilateral withdrawal of power. In the opinion of the Company, it had fulfilled all its obligations under the agreement and applicable regulations.
j) Other claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts ' Nil crore (31 March 2024: ' 14.84 crore)
k) In two cases, the suppliers have raised various issues concerning interpretation of various clauses of PPAs. The suppliers have filed the Petition before CERC. As the issues are at initial stage and still pending before CERC, the measurement of financial effects of the same is impracticable as on date. Further, in the opinion of the Company, it had fulfilled all its obligations under the agreement and regulations.
l) There are various cases at various forums in respect of the determination/revision of tariff/compensation/change in law. In such cases there is no likely liability on the Company as the payment will be pass-through.
ii) Disputed income tax/custom duty/service tax pending before various forums/authorities amount to ' 395.91 crore (31 March 2024: ' 492.76 crore). Many of income tax matters were adjudicated in favour of the Company but are disputed before higher forums/ authorities by the concerned departments.
In respect of service tax, the dispute pertains to applicability of service tax on compensation received by the Company which is passed by it to generators/ discoms. Further, the Company is only acting as an intermediary in the transactions and generators/discoms are the ultimate beneficiary of the
compensation received. The Company has filed a writ against the Order of the Commissioner, CGST in Delhi High Court. Further, the Ministry of Finance has issued Circular No. 178/10/2022- GST dated August 03, 2022 clarifying that Service tax/ GST is not applicable on compensation since the compensation is not by way of consideration for any other independent activity; it is just an event in the course of performance of that contract. Therefore, the company believes that it has good grounds on merits to defend itself
Commissioner of Customs, Guntur passed an order confirming duty demand stating that coal imported by PTC had CV (Or m, mmf basis) and VM (on dry, mmf basis) more than 5833 kcal/kg and 14% respectively with reference to the certain vessels and fell under the category of bituminous instead of steam coal. The appeal was filed before CESTAT, Bangalore including stay application for deposit of duty. CESTAT has granted the stay and directed to deposit 50% of the differential duty, along with interest The company paid a deposit amounting to ' 6.45 crore against custom duty/interest in July, 2015 which is subject to the outcome of the appeal.
ii) Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.
v) Amount above does not include the contingencies the likelihood of which is remote.
Commitments

Restrictions on disposal of investment
In respect of investments in the Companies, the Company has restrictions for their disposal as at year end as under:
Note No.39 - Disclosure as per Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits’
(i) Defined contribution plans:
A. Provident fund
The Company pays fixed contribution to provident fund to the appropriate authorities. The contributions to the fund for the year are recognized as expense and are charged to the profit or loss. An amount of ' 1.47 crore (31 March 2024: ' 1.42 crore) for the year is recognised as expense on this account and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
B. National Pension System (NPS)
The Company pays fixed contribution to NPS to the appropriate authorities. The contributions to the NPS for the year are recognized as expense and are charged to the profit or loss. An amount of ' 0.88 crore (31 March 2024: ' 0.72 crore) for the year is recognised as expense on this account and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Defined benefit plans:
A. Gratuity-Funded
a) The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has rendered continuous service of five years or more is entitled to gratuity at 15 days salary (15/26 X last drawn basic salary) for each completed year of service subject to a maximum of ' 0.20 crore on superannuation, resignation, termination, disablement or on death.
Based on the actuarial valuation obtained in this respect, the following table sets out the status of the gratuity and the amounts recognised in the Company’s financial statements as at balance sheet date:
Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.
The sensitivity analysis 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. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
E. Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
a) Asset volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk with derivatives to minimise risk to an acceptable. The equity securities are expected to earn a return in excess of the discount rate and contribute to the plan deficit. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio. The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the continuing years.
b) Changes in discount rate
A decrease in discount rate will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans’ assets holdings.
The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods.
The company has Risk Governance System. To determine whether operations are within the risk appetite of the organisation at any given time, the following parameters are reported to the appropriate layer of the Risk Governance system, and in particular to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee periodically:-
For Marketing -
a) Short Term: List of all open positions and periods involved in each such position; this is reported on a periodic basis to ensure timely corrective action in case of exigency.
b) Long-Term: List of all agreements where take-or-pay liability was taken by PTC and periods involved in each such position; this is reported on atleast a periodic basis to ensure timely corrective action in case of exigency.
Trade receivables
The company primarily sells electricity to bulk customers comprising mainly state power utilities owned by State Governments generally with security mechanism in the form of Letters of Credit. The company has no experience of significant impairment losses in respect of trade receivables in the past years.
For purchase of power through Power Exchange(s), for clients other than state owned power utilities, the company either takes payments from the parties on advance basis or ensures security mechanism in the form of Bank Guarantee/ Letter of Credits. Transactions with state owned power utilities are generally made without security mechanism, however transactions being with state owned power utilities, the risk is insignificant
Investments in marketable securities
The company invests in marketable securities to churn its short term working capital funds.
The Board of directors has established an investment policy by taking into account liquidity risk as well as credit risk. The investment policy prescribes guidelines for investible funds on fulfilment of certain conditions i.e. investment in AMC who invest as per SEBI Guidelines, limit of investment in single AMC, performance rating etc. The Company’s treasury department operates in line with such policy. The treasury department actively monitors the return rate and maturity period of the investments. The Company has not experienced any significant impairment losses in respect of any of the investments.
Loans & advances
The Company has given open access advances and security deposits. There is insignificant risk in case of open access advances paid on account of state owned power utilities. In case of open access advances are paid on account of generators, the Company generally takes irrevocable undertaking from the generators to adjust the amounts against their running accounts in case of default. The company has no experience of significant impairment losses in respect of open access advances in the past years.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of ' 947.30 crore (31 March 2024: ' 629.18 crore). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks with high credit ratings.
Deposits with banks and financial institutions
The Company held deposits with banks and financial institutions of ' 1883.25 Crore (31 March 2024: '149.90 crore). In order to manage the risk, the Company makes these deposit with high credit rating as per investment policy of the company. Deposits with banks and financial institutions are inclusive of
deposit of ' 685.05 Crore (31 March 2024: ' 105.01 Crore) shown under cash and cash equivalents (refer note no. 13).
(i) Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
(a) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using 12 month expected credit losses
The company has assets where the counter- parties have sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is very low. Accordingly, loss allowance for impairment has been recognised as disclosed later in this note under “Reconciliation of impairment loss provisions”.
(b) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using life time expected credit losses
The company has customers (State government utilities) with sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and therefore the risk of default is negligible or low. Further, management believes that the unimpaired overdue amounts are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour. However, the management has made provision for expected impairment loss for the parties identified on case to case basis.
The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets other than above customers (where impairment provision is created on case to case basis) by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company has an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves/banking facilities/ reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company’s treasury department is responsible for managing the short term and long term liquidity requirements of the Company. Short term liquidity situation is reviewed daily by Treasury. The Board of directors has established an investment policy by taking into account liquidity risk as well as credit risk. The Company’s treasury department operates in line with such policy. Long term liquidity position is reviewed by the Board of Directors and appropriate decisions are taken according to the situation.
Commercial department and Financial department monitor the company’s net liquidity position by monitoring the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices that will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Board of directors is responsible for setting up of policies and procedures to manage market risks of the Company.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than entity’s functional currency, hence exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises. The risk is that the functional currency value of cash flows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates.
At present, the company has a Forex Risk Management Policy for hedging of foreign currency risk.
The currency profile of financial assets/liabilities as at the reporting date are as below:
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in net asset value (NAV) of the financial instruments held.
The Company’s price risk is mainly generated with fair value in respect of the investments held in mutual funds. Investments primarily include investment in liquid debt based mutual fund units with high credit-ratings assigned by credit¬ rating agencies and are managed by asset management companies.
The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in mutual funds designated as at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
Price risk sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the NAV of investments held. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding investments and adjusts their position at the period end for a 1% change in NAV. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where NAV increases by 1%. For a 1% weakening in NAV, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.
Every 1% increase / decrease in the NAV of investments, will affect the Company’s profit before tax as given in below table:
In Company’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk and price risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
Interest rate risk
The company’s fixed rate instruments are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows:
Ind AS 27 ‘Separate Financial Statements’), other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
(b) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
The carrying values for finance lease receivables, if any, approximates the fair value as these are periodically evaluated based on credit worthiness of customer and allowance for estimated losses is recorded based on this evaluation.
The fair values for lease obligation were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a discount rate. The carrying amount of finance lease obligations approximate its fair value.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Note No.46 . Capital Management & Gearing Ratio
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share 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 maximize the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, raise debts or issue new shares.

Its Capital structure consists of net debt and total equity. The Company monitors Gearing Ratio, which is total net debt divided by total equity. The objective for managing capital are being achieved by the way of maintaining an optimal gearing ratio as given in the below table.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes investments in quoted equity instruments. Quoted equity instruments are valued using quoted prices at stock exchanges.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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. This level includes mutual funds which are valued using the closing NAV.
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 unquoted equity instruments included in level 3.
There have been no transfers in either direction for the years ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow/net adjusted asset value/ book value analysis/ NAV.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans, other bank balances, Investment (other than investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted at the cost in accordance with
