4 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not)
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision for separate sales related obligations is made for probable future claims on sales effected and are estimated based on previous claim experience on a scientific basis. This provision is revised annually.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of management / independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
5 Revenue Recognition and Other Income
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of goods comprising of speciality chemicals.
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of turnover/product/prompt payment discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract with the customers. When the level of discount varies with increase in levels of revenue transactions, the Company recognises the liability based on its estimate of the customer’s future purchases using expected value method. The Company recognises changes in the estimated amounts of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
Revenue in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities
Use of significant judgements in revenue
recognition
• Judgement is required to determine
the transaction price for the contract.
The transaction price could be either a
fixed amount of consideration or variable
consideration with elements such as turnover discounts. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Export incentives are recognised as income of the year on accrual basis. In case of utilisation for Import purpose the same is recognised as raw material cost in the year of import.
6 Employee Benefits
Short-term Employees Benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering services are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related services and are measured at undiscounted
amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefits
The Company provides the following post¬ employment benefits:
i) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity
ii) Defined Contribution plans such as provident fund
Defined benefits plans
The cost of providing defined benefit plans such as gratuity is determined on the basis of present value of defined benefits obligation which is computed using the projected unit credit method with independent actuarial valuation made at the end of each annual reporting period.
Re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions, the effect of change in assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan asset (excluding net interest as defined above) are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
Defined Contribution Plans
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, viz., Provident Fund for eligible employees are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contribution.
7 Tax Expense
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit or loss section of Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, as the case may be.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable/ receivable on the taxable income/ loss for the year using
applicable tax rates for the relevant period, and any adjustment to taxes in respect of previous years. Penalties,interest expense if any, related to income tax are included in other expenses. Interest Income, if any, related to Income tax is included in Other Income.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recogn ised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation can be utilised.
8 Financial Instruments
a) Financial AssetsInvestments in subsidiaries
I nvestments in equity shares of subsidiaries are carried at cost.
Financial assets other than investment in subsidiaries
Financial assets of the Company comprise trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances, Investments in equity shares of companies other than in subsidiaries, Investment in units of mutual funds, loans/ debt instrument / advances to employee / related parties / others, security deposit, claims recoverable etc.
Initial recognition and measurement
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, 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. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in three categories:
• Financial assets measured at amortised cost
• Financial assets at fair value through OCI
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Bank deposits, Security deposits, investment in debt Instruments and export benefits receivable are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are amortised using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. 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 in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’)
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortised cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit loss (‘ECL’) model on the following:
• Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost; and
ECL is measured through a loss allowance on a following basis:-
• The 12 month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instruments that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date).
• Full life time expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of financial instruments).
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment on trade receivables or contract assets resulting from normal business transactions. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. However, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, from the date of initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is provided. For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company assesses the credit risk characteristics on instrument-by-instrument basis.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as expense/income in Profit and Loss.
b) Financial Liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include bank overdraft, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables etc.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, 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.
Financial Liabilities classified as Amortised Cost
All Financial Liabilities other than derivatives are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of assets is included as Finance costs in profit or loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged / cancelled / expired. 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 de recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument and is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
9 Business Combination
Business combinations through common control transactions are accounted on a pooling of interests method. No adjustments are made to reflect the fair values, or recognise any new assets
or liabilities, except to harmonise accounting policies. The identity of the reserves are preserved and the reserves of the transferor becomes the reserves of the transferee. The difference between consideration paid and the net assets acquired, if any, is recorded under capital reserve / retained earnings, as applicable.
Government grant
Government Grants and subsidies from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grant/subsidy will be received.
When the grant or subsidy relates to revenue, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate.
E Recent accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of corporate Affairs ("MCA") notified amendments on 07 May, 2025 and 13 August, 2025 under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025 and the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2025, respectively, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 April, 2025.
(a) Amendment to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Supplier Finance Arrangement:
The amendments to Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' and Ind AS 107 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosures for such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The Company does not have any supplier finance arrangements during the financial year.
(b) Amendment to Ind AS 1 - Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non¬ current liabilities with covenants:
The amendment specifies the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet, and clarifies the following:
a) An entity's right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period must have substance and must exist at the end of the reporting period. The classification of a liability as current or non-current is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement.
b) If an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to covenants, such covenants affect whether that right exists at the end of the reporting period only if the entity is required to comply with the covenant on or before the end of the reporting period.
c) In case of a liability that can be settled, at the option of the counterparty, by the transfer of the entity's own equity instruments, such settlement terms do not affect the classification of the liability as current or non¬ current only if the option is classified as an equity instrument.
These amendments have no effect on the measurement of any items in the financial statements of the Company. The Company do not make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the amendments to Ind AS 1.
c) Amendment to Ind AS 12 - Pillar-Two Tax Reforms
The Company is not within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two Model Rules.
d) Amendment to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
The Amendments introduces requirement to assess when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not. The amendment requires an entity to estimate the
spot exchange rate when it concludes that a currency is not exchangeable into another currency. These amendments had no effect on the financial statements of the Company.

The amendment includes specific provisions that will take effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 01 April, 2026, retrospectively, as outlined below:
a) Breach of material covenant for long¬ term loan arrangement on or before end of reporting period with effect that liability becomes payable on demand as on reporting date, then it shall be classified as current liability, if lender agreed after reporting period and before approval of financial statements to not demand payment as a consequence of breach.
b) Classify as non-current liability, if lender agreed by end of reporting period to provide grace period ending at least 12 months after reporting period within which entity can rectify the breach provid ed len der does not demand immediate repayment.
c) Disclose information about the timing of settlement to understand the impact of the liability on the financial statements.
The Company does not expect this amendment to have an impact on its operations or financial statements.

NOTE 25
A. Capital management
For the purpose of company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium, and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the share holder value.
As at 31 March, 2026, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has no long term debt. Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. The Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.
B. Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the operations of the Company. The principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, investments in mutual funds/equity shares & debt instruments and cash and short term deposits.
The Company has assessed market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk to its financial liabilities. i) Market risk
Market Risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument, as a result of interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risks, primarily include investments, foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings.
Interest rate risk
The Company borrows funds in Indian rupees to meet short term funding requirements. Interest on short term borrowings is subject to floating interest rate and are repriced regularly. The sensitivity analysis detailed below have been determined based on the exposure to variable interest rates on the outstanding amounts due to bankers over a year.
If the interest rates had been 1% higher / lower and all other variables held constant, the Company's profit for the year ended 31 March, 2026 would have been decreased/increased by ' Nil crores (P.Y. 2024-25 - ' 0.62 crores.)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not its functional currency. The exposure to foreign currency risk of the Company at the end of the reporting period expressed is as follows:
The Company is mainly exposed to changes in US$. The sensitivity to a 1% increase or decrease in US Dollar against ' with all other variables held constant will be ' 2.63 crores (P.Y. (-2.70) crores)
The Sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company at the reporting date.
Price risks
More than fifty percentage (50%) of the Company's revenues are generated from exports and the raw materials are procured through import and local purchases where local purchases track import parity price. The Company is affected by the price stability of certain commodities. Due to the significantly increased volatility of certain commodities, the Company enters into contract with the customers that has provision to pass on the change in the raw material prices. The Company has a risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs.
The Company is exposed to price risk due to its investments in debt instruments and mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. The Company manages the securities price risk through investments in debt funds and diversification by placing limits on individual and total investments. Reports on investment portfolio are reviewed on regular basis and all approvals of investment decisions are done in concurrence with the senior management.
As at 31 March, 2026 the investments in mutual funds/Debt Instruments/ETF/Equity Shares amounts to ' 190.45 crores (PY 2024-25 - '35.89 crores). A 1% point increase or decrease in the NAV with all other variables held constant would have lead to aprroximately an additional ' 1.90 crores (P.Y. 2024-25 - ' 0.35 crores) on either side in the statement of profit and loss.
i Credit risk
Credit Risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. It arises from credit exposure to customers, financial instruments viz., Investments in debt funds and balances with banks.
Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in
the normal course of business. The Company also has an external credit risk insurance cover with ECGC Policy for specific customer(s). The outstanding trade receivables due for a period exceeding 180 days as at the year ended 31 March, 2026 is 1.54% (PY 2024-25 - 1.34%) of the total trade receivables. The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model to assess the impairment loss or gain. Historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past default and hence the credit risk is perceived to be low.
There are no transactions with single customer which amounts to 10% or more of the Company's revenue.
The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investments in mutual funds, debt funds and loans to other companies. It has a diversified portfolio of investments with various number of counterparties which have secure credit ratings, hence the risk is reduced. Individual risk limits are set for each counterparty based on financial position, credit rating and past experience. Credit limits and concentration of exposures are actively monitored by its treasury department.
iii) Liquidity risk
The principal sources of liquidity of the Company are cash and cash equivalents, investment in mutual funds, fund and non-fund based working capital lines from banks and the cash flow that is generated from operations. It believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines and cash flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.
NOTE 26
Fair values and 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 Standalone 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 in the Indian Accounting Standard.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities included is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value.
Level 1: This includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices / Net Asset Value. The fair value of all debt instruments which are traded on the Stock Exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties principally with banks with investment grade credit ratings. The foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques which employs the use of market observable inputs namely, marked-to-market.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.Sensitivity of Level 3 Financial Instruments is insignificant.
Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. For the year ended 31 March, 2026, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties (31 March, 2025: ' Nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
viii) Amount, Timing and Uncertainty of Future Cash Flows a. Sensitivity analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results of sensitivity analysis is given below:
