5.12 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
5.12.1 Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
5.12.2 Provisions are discounted if the effect of the time value of money is material, using pre-tax rates that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost. These provisions are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
5.12.3 Insurance claims are accounted on the basis of claims admitted or expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection. Any subsequent change in the recoverability is provided for. Contingent Assets are not recognised.
5.12.4 Contingent liability is a possible obligation that may arise from past events and its existence will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the same are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements.
5.13 Intangible Assets
5.13.1 The costs of computer software acquired and its subsequent improvements are capitalised. Internally generated software is not capitalized and the expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
5.13.2 Intangible Assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line method. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are assessed by the internal technical team. Its accounting classification is given below:
5.13.3 The intangible assets that are under development phase are carried at cost including related expenses and attributable interest, and are recognised as Intangible assets under development.
5.13.4 The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of intangible asset are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
5.14 Investment Properties
5.14.1 An investment in land or buildings both furnished and unfurnished, which are held for earning rentals or capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business, are classified as investment properties.
5.14.2 Investment properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any except freehold land which is carried at cost.
5.14.3 The company identifies the significant parts of investment properties separately which are required to be replaced at intervals. Such parts are depreciated separately based on their specific useful lives determined on best estimate basis upon
technical advice. The cost of replacement of significant parts are capitalised and the carrying amount of replaced parts are de-recognised. Other expenses including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts that does not meet the capitalisation criteria, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
5.14.4 Depreciation on investment properties are calculated on straight-line method based on useful life of the significant components.
5.14.5 Investment properties are eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Gains or losses arising from disposal, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of such investment properties, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amount received towards investment properties that are impaired and derecognized in the financial statements, are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, when the recognition criteria are met.
5.14.6 The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of investment properties are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
5.15 Operating Segments
Operating segment has been identified on the basis of nature of products and reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to Chief Operating Decision Maker.
The Company has three operating/reportable segments viz. building products, textile and wind power generation.
The inter-segment transfers of units of power from windmills are recognized at the applicable tariff rates of the electricity boards for the purpose of segment reporting as per the relevant accounting standard.
Costs are allocated to the respective segment based upon the actual incidence of respective cost. Unallocated items include general other income and expenses which are not allocated to any business segment.
5.16 Financial Instruments
5.16.1 The Company initially determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities. After initial recognition, no re¬ classification is made for financial assets which are categorised as equity instruments at FVTOCI and financial assets / liabilities that are specifically designated as FVTPL. However, other financial assets are re-classifiable when there is a change in the business model of the Company.
Financial Assets
5.16.2 Financial assets comprise of investments in equity and mutual funds, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
Initial recognition and measurement
5.16.3 All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
5.16.4 Where the fair value of a financial asset at initial recognition is different from its transaction price, the difference between the fair value and the transaction price is recognised as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss at initial recognition if the fair value is determined through a quoted market price in an active market for an identical asset (i.e. level 1 input) or through a valuation technique that uses data from observable markets (i.e. level 2 input).
5.16.5 In case the fair value is not determined using a level 1 or level 2 input as mentioned above, the difference between the fair
value and transaction price is deferred appropriately and recognised as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss only
to the extent that such gain or loss arises due to a change in factor that market participants take into account when pricing the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
5.16.6 For subsequent measurement, the Company classifies a financial asset in accordance with the below criteria:
(a) The Company’s business model for managing the financial asset and,
(b) The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset:
Financial Liabilities
5.16.10 Financial liabilities comprise of Borrowings from Banks, Trade payables, Derivative financial instruments, Financial guarantee obligation and other financial liabilities.
Initial recognition and measurement:
5.16.11 All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value minus, in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability.
5.16.12 Where the fair value of a financial liability at initial recognition is different from its transaction price, the difference between the fair value and the transaction price is recognised as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss at initial recognition if the fair value is determined through a quoted market price in an active market for an identical asset (i.e. level 1 input) or through a valuation technique that uses data from observable markets (i.e. level 2 input).
5.16.13 In case the fair value is not determined using a level 1 or level 2 input as mentioned above, the difference between the fair value and transaction price is deferred appropriately and recognised as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss only to the extent that such gain or loss arises due to a change in factor that market.
Subsequent measurement
5.16.14 All financial liabilities of the Company are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for certain items like foreign exchange forward contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are measured at fair through profit or loss (FVTPL).
5.16.15 Transaction cost of financial guarantee contracts that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee are recognised initially as a liability at fair value. 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 amortization.
5.17 Fair value measurement
5.17.1 The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that the market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that the market participants act in the economic best interest.
5.17.2 All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured are disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The fair value hierarchy is described as below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are unobservable.
5.17.3 For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the Balance sheet on a recurring basis, the company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period (i.e) based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.
5.17.4 For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the company has determined the classes of assets and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets or liabilities and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
6. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period or in the period of the revision or future periods, if the revision affects both current and future years.
Accordingly, the management has applied the following estimates / assumptions / judgements in preparation and presentation of financial statements:
Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Investment Properties
The residual values and estimated useful life of PPEs, Intangible Assets and Investment Properties are assessed by technical team duly reviewed by the management at each reporting date. Wherever the management believes that the assigned useful life and residual value are appropriate, such recommendations are accepted and adopted for computation of depreciation/ amortisation. Also, management judgement is exercised for classifying the asset as investment properties or vice versa.
Revenue Recognition
Significant management judgement is exercised in determining the transaction price and discounts to customer which is based on market factors namely demand and supply. The Company offers credit period to customers for which there is no financing component.
Current Taxes
Calculations of income taxes for the current period are done based on applicable tax laws and management’s judgement by evaluating positions taken in tax returns and interpretations of relevant provisions of law.
Deferred Tax Asset
Significant management judgement is exercised by reviewing the deferred tax assets at each reporting date to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be retained / recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Contingent Liabilities
Management judgement is exercised for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies / claims / litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
Impairment of Trade receivables
The impairment for financial assets are done based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The assumptions, selection of inputs for calculation of impairment are based on management judgement considering the past history, market conditions and forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting date.
Impairment of Non-financial assets
The impairment of non-financial assets is determined based on estimation of recoverable amount of such assets. The assumptions used in computing the recoverable amount are based on management judgement considering the timing of future cash flows, discount rates and the risks specific to the asset.
Provisions
The timing of recognition requires application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances that may be subject to change. The litigations and claims to which the company is exposed are assessed by the management and in certain cases with the support of external experts. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Defined Benefit Plans and Other long term benefits
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other long term benefits, and the present value of such obligation are determined by the independent actuarial valuer. Management believes that the assumptions used by the actuary in determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rates are reasonable. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, this obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities could not be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, management uses valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, to determine its fair value the inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is exercised in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Impairment of Investments in Subsidiaries /Associates
Significant management judgement is exercised in determining whether the investment in subsidiaries / associates are impaired or not is on the basis of its nature of long term strategic investments and business projections.
Interests in other entities
Significant management judgement is exercised in determining the interests in other entities. The management believes that wherever there is significant influence over certain companies belong to its group, such companies are treated as Associate companies even though it holds less than 20% of the voting rights.
(iii) As per Companies (Share capital and Debentures) Amendment Rules 2019 notified on 16-08-2019, Debenture redemption Reserve is not required to be created for privately placed debentures issued by listed companies. Since the Company has issued debentures by way of private placement, the debenture redemption reserve is not created.
(iv) The transaction cost on issue of NCD is adjusted against NCD upon initial recognition and the same is amortised based on Effective Interest Rate method over the tenure of the Borrowing based on Amortized Cost model in accordance with Ind AS 109. The un-amortised transaction cost adjusted against NCD as at the reporting date is '0.13 Cr (PY: 0.86 Cr).

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined 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. Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short-term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to their short term maturities of these instruments.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (Unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The Board of Directors (BOD) has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and thus established a risk management policy to identify and analyses the risk faced by the Company. Risk Management systems are reviewed by the BOD periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company through its training and management standards and procedures develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the risk management framework. The Audit committee is assisted in the oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes reviews of the risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
The Board of Directors regularly reviews these risks and approves the risk management policies, which covers the management of these risks:
Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the customer or counterparty to the financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s receivables, treasury operations and other operations that are in the nature of lease.
Receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business by considering the factors such as financial reliability of customers. The Company evaluates the concentration of the risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets. The Company maintains adequate security deposits from its customers in case of wholesale and retail segment. The exposures with the Government are generally unsecured but they are considered as good. However, unsecured credits are extended based on creditworthiness of the customers on case-to-case basis.
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or failing to engage in a repayment plan with the company and where there is a probability of default, the company creates a provision based on Expected Credit Loss for trade receivables under simplified approach as below:
Financial Instruments and Cash deposits
Investments of surplus funds are made only with the approved counterparties. The Company is presently exposed to counter party risk relating to short term and medium-term deposits placed with banks, and also investments made in mutual funds. The Company places its cash equivalents based on the creditworthiness of the financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risks are those risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the company’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Fund Management
Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Company aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping both committed and uncommitted credit lines available. The Company has laid well defined policies and procedures facilitated by robust information system for timely and qualitative decision making by the management including its day-to-day operations
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s exposure in USD and other foreign currency denominated transactions in connection with import of raw material, capital goods and spares, besides exports of finished goods and borrowings in foreign currency, gives rise to exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company has following policies to mitigate this risk:
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings with variable rates which exposed the company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s fixed rate borrowing are carried at amortized cost and therefore are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107 since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of the change in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the evolution of interest rates and credit markets for its future refinancing, which may result in a lower or higher cost of financing, which is mainly addressed through the management of the fixed/ floating ratio of financial liabilities. The Company constantly monitors credit markets to strategize a well-balanced maturity profile in order to reduce both the risk of refinancing and large fluctuations of its financing cost. The Company believes that it can source funds for both short term and long term at a competitive rate considering its strong fundamentals on its financial position. Sensitivity on interest rate fluctuation.
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital 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 shareholders’ wealth.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus Debt.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans/borrowing. The Company has been consistently focusing on reduction in long term borrowings. There are no significant changes in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31-03-2026 and 31-03-2025.

ii. Provide any guarantee, security or the like to or on behalf of the ultimate beneficiaries.
Formula adopted for above Ratios:
Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities
(a) Debt-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity
(b) Debt Service Coverage Ratio = (EBITDA - Current Tax) / (Principal Repayment Gross Interest)
(c) Return on Equity Ratio = Total Comprehensive Income / Average Total Equity
(d) Inventory Turnover Ratio = (Average Inventory days) = 365 / (Net Revenue / Average Inventories)
(e) Trade receivable Turnover Ratio = (Average Receivables days) = 365 (Net Revenue / Average Trade receivables)
(f) Trade payable Turnover Ratio = (Average Payables days) = 365 (Net Revenue / Average Trade payables)
(g) Net Capital Turnover Ratio = (Inventory Turnover Ratio Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio - Trade Payable Ratio)
(h) Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit / Total Income
(i) Return on Capital Employed = (Total Comprehensive Income Interest) / (Average of (Equity Total Debt))
(j) Return on Investment (Assets) = Total Comprehensive Income / Average Total Assets
Reasons for Variation if more than 25%

On 21-11-2025, the Central Government notified the Code on Social Security, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Wages 2019 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “Labour Codes”), subsuming various existing labour and industrial laws governing employee benefits during employment and post employment period. The Ministry of Labour & Employment has notified the Central Rules and FAQs to facilitate assessment of the financial impact arising from these regulatory changes. Accordingly, the Company has assessed the financial implications based on an actuarial valuation in accordance with Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits read with FAQ issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Based on such assessment, the Company is of the view that the financial impact of these changes is not material and, therefore, has not been presented as an exceptional item, though the impact has been recognised under Employee Benefits Expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company continue to monitor the finalisation of State Rules and any further clarifications issued by the Government in relation to the Labour Codes and will appropriately give effect to such changes in the books, as and when required.
57. IMPACT OF GLOBAL GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICTS
The Company has considered the uncertainties arising from the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including the conflict between the US and Iran, the conflict in the Middle East involving Israel and Iran, and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, inventories, intangible assets, investments, and other assets. The outcome of these conflicts remains difficult to predict and may have an adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment, including volatility in energy prices, disruptions to global supply chains, foreign exchange fluctuations, and other indirect macro-level impacts on the industry. Management has considered all potential impacts of these conflicts, including adherence to global sanctions and other restrictive measures, and any retaliatory actions that may follow. For this purpose, the Company has considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on its judgments, estimates, and assumptions, the Company expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, inventories, intangible assets, investments, and other assets. Accordingly, the impact of these conflicts on the Company’s operations and financial condition for the year ended 31st March 2026, was not material. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions and assess their impact on its financial position on an ongoing basis.
