2.12 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 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 recognised as a finance cost.
2.13 Contingent Liabilities & Commitments
Disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which 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 where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of amount cannot be made.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.
2.14 Employee Benefits Expense Short-Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised as an expense during the period when the employees render the services.
Post-Employment Benefits Defined Contribution Plans
The Company recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company pays gratuity to the employees who have completed five years of service with the Company at the time of resignation/ superannuation. The gratuity is paid for every completed year of service as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity liability amount is contributed to the approved gratuity fund formed exclusively for gratuity payment to the employees. The gratuity fund has been approved by respective Income Tax authorities. The liability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees' services. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur in Other Comprehensive Income.
Compensated absences
The Company provides for compensated absences based on the actuarial valuation carried out at the reporting date. The obligation is recognised based on the terms of the Company's leave policy and is measured using the projected unit credit method.
The liability is classified as current or non-current based on the Company's right to defer settlement beyond twelve months from the reporting date. The portion for which the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement beyond twelve months is classified as non-current."
2.15 Tax Expenses
i. The tax expenses for the period comprises of current tax and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income. In which case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Current Tax
ii. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the Income Tax authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted at the Balance sheet date.
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 assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of Deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
2.16 Foreign Currencies Transactions and Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets which are capitalised as cost of assets.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Statement of Profit and Loss are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively).
In case of an asset, expense or income where a non-monetary advance is paid/received, the date of transaction is the date on which the advance was initially recognised. If there were multiple payments or receipts in advance, multiple dates of transactions are determined for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
Contract Balances
Trade Receivables - A Trade receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Interest Income - Interest Income from a Financial Assets is recognised using effective interest rate method.
Dividend Income - Dividend Income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the amount has been established.
Any Other Income - Income other than Dividend and Interest as described above and any other income covered under other IND-AS is recognised only when it is reasonable certain that amount will be collected or when amount is actually received by the Company.
2.17 Financial Instruments
i. Financial Assets
a. Initial Recognition and Measurement
Except for Trade Receivables, financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of Financial Assets, which are not at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition. Purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognised using trade date accounting. Trade receivables arising from contracts with customers are initially recognised at the transaction price determined in accordance with Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as they generally do not contain a significant financing component.
b. Subsequent Measurement
- Financial Assets measured at Amortised Cost (AC)
A Financial Asset is measured at Amortised Cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise to cash flows on specified dates that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling Financial Assets and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represents solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A Financial Asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition, if the Company changes its business model for managing those financial assets. Changes in business model are made and applied prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of immediately next reporting period following the changes in business model in accordance with principles laid down under Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments.
c. Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL).
Expected Credit Losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
- The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
- Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).
For Trade Receivables the Company applies 'simplified approach' which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward- looking estimates are analysed if there is a significant change in collection pattern.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk.
ii. Financial Liabilities
a Initial Recognition and Measurement
All Financial Liabilities are recognised at fair value and in case of borrowings, net of directly attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.
b Subsequent Measurement
Financial Liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
iii. Derecognition of Financial Instruments
The Company derecognises a Financial Asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the Financial Asset expire or it transfers the Financial Asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A Financial liability (or a part of a Financial liability) is derecognised from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
iv. Offsetting
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the amount and it intends, either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.18 Non-current assets held for Sale and Discontinued operations
Assets are classified as non-current assets held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and sale is considered highly probable. A sale is considered as highly probable when decision has been made to sell, assets are available for immediate sale in its present condition, assets are being actively marketed and sale has been agreed or is expected to be concluded within 12 months of the date of classification. Assets held for sale are neither depreciated nor amortised.
Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost of sale and are presented separately in the Balance Sheet.
For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale/distribution classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal company is available for immediate sale/distribution in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales/ distribution of such assets (or disposal company), its sale/distribution is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale/distribution of the asset or disposal company to be highly probable when:
- The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal company),
- An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),
- The asset (or disposal company) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
- The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification and
- Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss. Additional disclosures are provided in Note 48. All other notes to the financial statements mainly include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.
2.19 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year adjusted for bonus element in equity share if any. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as at the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date.
2.20 Segment Reporting Policies
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Managing Director of the Company has been identified as being the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
2.21 Dividend Distribution Policy
In accordance with Regulation 43A of the Listing Regulations, the Company has formulated a 'Dividend Distribution Policy. The Dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. Income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity will be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay / distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

2.23 New standards and amendments to existing Standards which are issued but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1
Paragraph 74 of Ind AS 1 currently effective for the year ended 31 March 2026 requires the entity not to classify the liability as current, if there is a breach of a material covenant of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, however, the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.
MCA vide notification dated 13 August 2025, has introduced amendment under Paragraph 74 of Ind AS 1 which requires the entity to classify the liability as current under the aforementioned situation because, at the end of the reporting period, it does not have the right to defer its settlement for at least twelve months after that date. Such amendment has been made effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 April 2026 retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The Company does not expect the amendment to have any material impact on its Financial Statements.

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) 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 or indirectly. Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
C. Financial risk management Risk management framework
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The objective of the Company's risk management framework is to identify, evaluate and manage these risks in order to minimise their potential adverse impact on the Company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Company's risk management framework. Senior management is responsible for implementing the risk management policies approved by the Board and for monitoring the Company's exposure to financial risks. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor compliance with such limits. These policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's business activities.
The Company's principal financial assets comprise investments, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and other financial assets. Its principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, lease liabilities, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
1. Credit risk
2. Liquidity risk
3. Market risk
1. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the failure of a customer or counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's exposure to credit risk primarily arises from trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and other financial assets.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is represented by the carrying amount of the respective financial assets recognised in the Balance Sheet.
Trade receivables
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties identified either individually or by the Company and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company's policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. Management also considers the factors such as the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment. The Company applies the simplified approach prescribed under Ind AS 109 for measuring expected credit losses ("ECL"), which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised for all trade receivables.
Cash and bank balances
Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and fixed deposits is considered insignificant as these balances are maintained with banks and financial institutions having good credit ratings. The Company monitors the credit quality of these counterparties on an ongoing basis and accordingly does not expect any significant credit losses in respect of these financial assets.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets primarily comprise fixed deposits, security deposits, employee advances and other receivables.
Credit risk relating to these financial assets is considered low as they are recoverable based on contractual terms or statutory provisions. Fixed deposits are placed with banks having high credit standing and employee advances are recovered in accordance with the Company's policies. Accordingly, management does not expect any material credit losses in respect of these financial assets.
2. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents, committed credit facilities and access to borrowings. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position and cash flows to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet its operational requirements and financial obligations as they fall due. The Company maintains funding flexibility through an appropriate mix of short-term and long-term borrowings and committed credit facilities.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The following table summarises the contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities based on the remaining undiscounted contractual cash flows as at the reporting date.
3. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk, including commodity price risk. The Company's exposure to market risk primarily relates to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company is not exposed to other price risk.
a. Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk primarily arises from export receivables, import payables and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Indian Rupee.
The Company manages its foreign currency exposure by monitoring exchange rate movements on an ongoing basis and evaluating the need for appropriate risk mitigation measures in accordance with its risk management policies.
The following table presents the Company's significant foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as at the reporting date. Exposure to other foreign currencies is not material.
b. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk primarily arises from its floating-rate borrowings.
An increase in interest rates by 100 basis points (1%) would decrease profit before tax and equity by the amounts shown above. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates by 100 basis points (1%) would increase profit before tax and equity by an equal amount. The sensitivity analysis is based on the floating-rate borrowings outstanding as at the reporting date and assumes that all other variables remain constant.
The Company also has a fixed-rate vehicle loan and fixed-rate bank deposits. Since the interest rates on these instruments remain fixed over their contractual terms, changes in market interest rates do not affect their contractual cash flows. Accordingly, no interest rate sensitivity analysis has been presented for such instruments.
33 Capital Management
The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximize shareholders' value, safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the overall cost of capital. The Company manages its capital structure with a focus on maintaining a strong equity base to ensure financial stability, flexibility, and the ability to support future business expansion, as required.
The Company's capital structure comprises debt and total equity. The Company monitors its capital using a gearing ratio, which is calculated as total debt divided by total equity. Total debt includes loans and borrowings and lease liabilities.
The Company has not made any changes in its capital management objectives, policies, or processes during the years ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.
37 Employee Benefits a Defined benefit plans - Gratuity:
The Company operates a funded gratuity plan for eligible employees in accordance with the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, resignation, death or permanent disablement, based on the years of service and the last drawn salary. The gratuity plan is funded through a policy with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
viii. Nature of risks associated with the defined benefit plan
The defined benefit plan exposes the Company to the following actuarial risks:
Interest Rate risk:The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term benefit payouts. This may arise due to non availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the above benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liabilty is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
b Defined contribution plans:
The Company operates defined contribution plans for eligible employees. Contributions are made to the Provident Fund, Pension Fund, Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and Labour Welfare Fund administered by the Government. The Company's obligation is limited to the amount of contributions made, and it has no further obligation once the contributions have been paid.
The expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in respect of defined contribution plans is as follows:
38 Research and Development Expenditure:
i. Revenue expenditure on research and development is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. Capital expenditure relating to research and development is capitalised as property, plant and equipment when it meets the recognition criteria prescribed under the applicable Indian Accounting Standards.
ii. The Company's in-house Research and Development facility is recognised by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, for the purposes of Section 35(2AB) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
