2.15. Provisions, contingent liabilities and assets
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements.
2.16. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as a part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
Borrowing cost consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing cost are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
2.17. Inventories
• Raw materials, Work in progress, manufactured goods and Stores & Spares are valued at lower of Cost (FIFO) or estimated net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary.
• By-products, self-generated scrap and non-reusable waste are valued at estimated net realisable value.
• Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges.
• Work in progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.
• Estimated net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, reduced by estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.18. Revenue Recognition Sale of Goods
Revenue from sales are recognized, when risks and rewards of ownership of products are passed on to the customers, which is generally on dispatch/delivery of goods and there is no significant uncertainty regarding amount of consideration that will be derived. Revenue from sale of goods are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns including estimated returns where applicable, and trade discounts, rebates, sales tax and value added tax/GST. Revenue is recognized only when risks and rewards incidental to ownership are transferred to the customer, it can be reliably measured, and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers, with effect from April 1,2018. Ind AS 115 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from the contracts with its customers and replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue and Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts.
The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 using the cumulative effect method whereby the effect of applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. April 1, 2018). Accordingly, the comparative information in the statement of profit and loss is not restated.
Other Income
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized using effective interest rate method and on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
Dividend
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
2.19. Employee Benefits
Defined benefit plans
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The currency and term of the government bonds shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post¬ employment benefit obligations. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the profit or loss as employee benefits expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to OCI in the period in which they arise and is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
Short-term and Other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, and casual leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The Company's net obligation in respect of other long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
Defined contribution plans
The Company's contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense as and when the services are received from the employees entitling them to the contributions.
2.20. Income Tax
Current Income Tax
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in OCI or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in OCI or directly in equity respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off corresponding current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the Company.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Withholding tax arising out of payment of dividends to shareholders under the Indian Income tax regulations is not considered as tax expense for the Company and all such taxes are recognised in the statement of changes in equity as part of the associated dividend payment.
Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.
2.21. Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its equity shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which includes all stock options granted to employees.
2.22. Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
When several exchange rates are available, the rate used is that at which the future cash flows represented by the transaction or balance could have been settled if those cash flows had occurred at the measurement date.
2.23. Research and development
Expenditures on research activities undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding are recognized in the income statement when incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditures are capitalized only if:
• development costs can be measured reliably;
• the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;
• future economic benefits are probable; and
• the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditures to be capitalized include the cost of materials and other costs directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditures are recognized in the income statement as incurred.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on 23rd March, 2022 through companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 has notified the following amendments to IND AS which are applicable on 1st April 2022:
3.1. Ind AS 16 - Property, Plant and equipment -
The amendment clarifies that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognised in the profit or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant and equipment. The amendment prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in the profit or loss The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant and equipment in its financial statements.
3.2. Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
The amendment specifies that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (examples depreciation charge). The amendment is essentially a clarification, and the Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
3.3. Ind AS 103 - Reference to Conceptual Framework
The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. These changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103.
3.4. Ind AS 106 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives were described in that illustration. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendment in its financial statements.
3.5. Ind AS 109 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the '10 %' test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendment in its financial statements.

30.1. Contingent liabilities and Capital commitments (to the extent not provided): NIL Footnote:
During the prior period certain Lenders had initiated formal legal communication, with a view to protect their interest. The Company has contested and continues to defend such action by the Lenders. Meanwhile the Company also continued to engage with lenders with a view to arrive at a resolution to ongoing matters. Due to ongoing dispute with the lenders in relation to their failure to comply with committed lending obligations, the Company has, basis of legal advice, not provided for interest costs on certain loans outstanding, amounting to INR 2,632.70 Lacs in respect of Operating Assets and INR 11,628.07 Lacs in respect of Project Assets.

1. The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments
(B) Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgments 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. An explanation of each level are follows
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There are no Financial Assets which are required to be carried at Fair value using Fair value hierarchy
30.16. Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Company has adequate internal processes to assess, monitor and manage financial risks. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
(A) 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, and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risks, primarily include loans, borrowings and Trade receivables.
(i) Interest Rate Risk
The Company borrows funds in Indian Rupees, to meet both the long term and short-term funding requirements. Interest on term borrowings is subject to Base rate / MCLR and is fixed for at least one year. The sensitivity analysis detailed below have been determined based on the exposure to variable interest rates on the average outstanding amounts due to bankers over a year. [Refer Note 30.1]
(ii) Price Risk
100% of Company's revenues are generated from Local Markets and the raw materials are procured through 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.
(iii) Foreign Currency Risks
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 is recognised as 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 was NIL.
(B) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables). The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
Though the Customer credit risk is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management, the impact arising from above on its trade receivables needs to be closely monitored on case to case basis and allowance if any should be appropriately considered. The Company uses financial information and past experience to evaluate Outstanding receivable in terms of credit worthiness, credit quality, individual credit limits of majority of its customers which are periodically monitored. The historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past default, however the impact of the on-going situation needs continuous evaluation by the management. The credit risk as at balance sheet date is perceived to be moderate, however expected to improve going forward.
1. The construction of the Mega Greenfield Expansion project undertaken by the Company has been temporarily kept on hold predominantly due to failure of Lenders in fulfilling their committed lending obligations. Also, the Management has taken several actions like (i) reduction in unit operating costs (ii) increasing liquidity by making its operations more efficient and nimbler (iii) putting on hold discretionary expenses and (iv) deferring certain capital expenditures, etc.

However, the Company continued to incur committed expenditure with respect to its Employees, Plant & Other related expenditures. This has significantly impacted Company's profitability. The IRP is evaluating all the possible effects resulting from such situation in relation to the carrying amounts of Trade receivables, Inventories, its assets comprising Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible assets, Financial assets but has not yet concluded on adjustments required to be made to the carrying values of such assets as at March 31, 2025, accordingly, no accounting for any Impairment/Write-off on account of Loss of certain receivables of the company and certain Non-current liabilities, has been done. The same however is not affecting continuing operations. The impact assessment is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. In developing such assumptions and estimates relating to the uncertainties in relation to the recoverable amounts of these assets, the management is using internal and external sources of information to the extent available. The Impact of the same may be evident at a future date, however the same may not affect continuing operations.
Several actions have been taken to mitigate the effects of Covid-19, Russia-Ukraine conflict & Challenging economic Landscape on Company's business by reducing unit costs and increasing liquidity by making operations more efficient and nimbler, putting on hold discretionary expenses, deferring certain capital expenditures, etc. In order to sustain operations, actions to cut employee costs through pay cuts, leave without pay and reduction in workforce have also been taken during the period under review.
