r. Provision And Contingencies
A provision is recognised if as a result of past event the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimated and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discontinuing the expected cash flow at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of the money and the risk specific to the liabilities. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Contingent liabilities, if material, are disclosed by way of notes to the accounts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the Financial Statements, as they are dependent on the outcome of legal or other processes.
s. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision making body in the Company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments. The Company's operating business predominantly relates to manufacturing of Iron & Steel and allied products.
2.5 Recent accounting pronouncements :
The below amendments to the existing standard which are notified by Ministry of Corporate affairs but are not yet effective :
Amendment to Ind AS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'- Classification of Liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants. The amendment includes specific provisions that will take effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 1st 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 provided lender 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.

3.3 Refer Note No. 33.2.1 for disclosure of contractual commitments for the acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment.
3.4 The Capital WIP amount to ? 1,137.69 lakhs (Previous year ? 719.96 lakhs).

34. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") of the Company. The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director of the Company. The Company is predominantly engaged in a single reportable segment of Iron & Steel during the year. The risks and returns of manufacturing of pig iron and trading of its raw material are directly associated with Iron & Steel business and hence treated as single reportable business segment. The Company does not have any export hence Company does not have any geographical segment, hence does not have any reportable Segments as per Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments"
35.4 Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
The transaction with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions. The amounts outstanding are unsecured and will be settled in cash. No expense has been recognised in the current or prior years for bad & doubtful debts in respect of the amounts owed by related parties. No guarantees have been given during the year.
(xi) Risk exposure and asset liability matching
Provision of a defined benefit scheme poses certain risks, some of which are detailed here under, as companies take on uncertain long term obligations to make future benefit payments.
1) Liability risks
(i) Asset-Liability Mismatch Risk
Risk which arises if there is a mismatch in the duration of the assets relative to the liabilities. By matching duration with the defined benefit liabilities, the Company is successfully able to neutralize valuation swings caused by interest rate movements. Hence companies are encouraged to adopt asset-liability management.
(ii) Discount Rate Risk
Variations in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the liabilities may seem small, but in practise can have a significant impact on the defined benefit liabilities.
(iii) Future Salary Escalation and Inflation Risk
Since price inflation and salary growth are linked economically, they are combined for disclosure purposes. Rising salaries will often result in higher future defined benefit payments resulting in a higher present value of liabilities especially unexpected salary increases provided at management's discretion may lead to uncertainities in estimating this increasing risk.
All plan assets are maintained in a trust fund managed by a public sector insurer viz; LIC of India. LIC has a sovereign guarantee and has been providing consistent and competitive returns over the year.
The Company has opted for a traditional fund where in all assets are invested primarily in risk averse markets. The Company has no control over the management of funds but this option provides a high level of safety for the total corpus. A single account is maintained for both the investment and claim settlement and hence 100% liquidity is ensured. Also interest rate and inflation risk are taken care of.
37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Measurements Hierarchy
Refer to financial instruments by category table below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amount is the approximate fair value due to short maturity of these instruments.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimates using a valuation technique.
The Company determines fair values of its financial instruments according to the following hierarchy :
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - valuation using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued using models where all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3 - valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: financial instruments valued using valuation techniques where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
37.2 Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholder. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholder. For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves and debt includes non-current borrowings, current borrowings and certain components of other financial liabilities.
38.1 Risk management framework
Managing director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company evaluates and manages the uncertainties in the Company. They conduct meetings at regular intervals involving other high level officers of the Company and provides updates to the Audit Committee/Board.
The management of financial risks by the Company is summarized below :-
38.1.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk as a result of the risk of counterparties defaulting on their obligations. The Company's exposure to credit risk primarily relates to investments, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors and limits its exposure to credit risk on a continuous basis. To manage this the Company periodically reviews the financial reliability of its customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables.
38.1.2 Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term,and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. All current financial liabilities are repayable within one year.
The following table detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial laibilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
38. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities are to finance the Company's operations and to support its operations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Company's business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and foreign currency risk.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Company's cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing the Company's capital expenditures. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity in the USD & JPY to the Indian Rupee with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company's profit before tax due to changes in the fair values of monetary assets and
liabilities is given below :
ii) 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 manages its interest risk exposure relating to the financial instrument classified at amortised cost by using the market interest rate as the effective interest rate and the changes in the assets liabilities is accounted for as interest income/expenses with respect to financial assets/financial liabilities respectively. The Company however has only fixed interest rate term loan.
As there is no primary exposure to the interest rate risk the sensitivity analysis has not been performed by the Company.
In the cases where assets are given on operating lease (as lessor)
The Company has given assets under lease arrangements and lease rentals are receivable in the form of fixed monthly rentals as stipulated in the respective lease agreements.
The Company does not have any non-cancellable lease arrangements. There is no contingent rent.
Rental income arising from these operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in rental income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income are recognised as an expense.
Explanation for the change in ratio by more than 25% :
1. The Debt service coverage ratio has increased due to increase in earnings and repayment of term loan during the current year.
2. The Return on equity ratio has increased due to increase in earnings during the current year.
3. The Net profit ratio has increased due to increase in margin during the current year.
4. The Return on capital employed has increased due to increase in operating profits during the current year.
