XII. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments
General
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the 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. When the Company expects some or all of provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to provision is presented in the statement of profit & loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are disclosed using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate,
the risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as
finance cost.
Mine restoration or assets retirement obligation
Mine restoration expenditure is provided for in the statement of profit and loss based on present value of estimated expenditure
required to be made towards restoration and rehabilitation at the time of vacation of mine. The cost estimates are reviewed periodically
and are adjusted to reflect known developments which may have an impact on the cost estimates or life of operations. The unwinding of
the discount on provision is shown as a finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of :
• 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.
• A present obligation arising from past event, when it is not probable that as outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation.
• Ý A present obligation arises from the past event, when no reliable estimate is possible.
• A present obligation arises from the past event, unless the probability of outflow is remote.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Onerous contract
A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower expected costs of terminating the contract and the
expected cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes impairment on the assets
with the contract.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are not recognized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a
contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.
XIII. Segment accounting and reporting
The company's business falls within a primary business segment viz. '' Iron and Steel Business”.
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make
decisions for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the
CODM evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by
business segments and geographic segments.
The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products/services.
i. Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with/allocable to the segment including inter-segment
revenue.
ii. Expenses that are directly identifiable with/allocable to the segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses
not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
iii. Income not allocable to the segments is included in unallocable income.
iv. Segment results includes margin or inter segment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.
v. Segment assets and Liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Assets and liabilities not allocable to
any segment are classified under unallocable category.
XIV. Investment in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures & Associates
Investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures & associates are carried at cost in accordance with the option given in Ind AS 27, “Separate
Financial Statements”. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.
On transition to IND AS, the Company has adopted optional exemption under IND AS 101 to consider carrying value as deemed cost.
Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount and the difference is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss. On disposal of investment, the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
XV. Government grant / assistance
Government grant with a condition to purchase, construct to otherwise acquire long term assets are initially measured based on grant
receivable under the scheme. Such grant are recognized in the statement of profit & loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the
asset. Amount of benefits receivable in excess of grant income accrued based on usage of the assets is accounted as Government
grant received in advance. Changes in estimate are recognized prospectively over the remaining useful life of assets. Government
revenue grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match
them with the costs that they intended to compensate.
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached
to them and that the grants will be received.
XVI. Taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax
authorities in accordance with the Income-Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose at reporting date.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled.
The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that
includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized
amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
XVII. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue from sale of manufactured goods i.e. steel rolled
products is recognised in accordance with Ind As 115 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs and measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government.
The specific recognition criteria described below must be met before revenue is recognized:
a) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed
to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Ind AS 115 provides for a five step model for the analysis of Revenue transactions. The model specifies that revenue should be
recognised when (or as) an entity transfer control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be
entitled. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue
and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.
The Company provides cash and in kind discounts at fair value to customers. These benefits are passed to customers on
achievement of certain target of sales by respective customers.
Consideration received is allocated between the products sold and discount to be allowed to customers. Fair value of the in kind
discount is determined by applying principle of Ind AS 113, i.e. at market rate. The fair value of the in kind discount is deferred and
recognised as revenue when the in kind discount is issued.
Trade receivables - A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered and to the extent that it has an unconditional
contractual right to receive cash or other financial assets (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the
consideration is due). Trade receivables is derecognised when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset to another party including discounting of bills on a nonrecourse basis.
Refund liabilities - A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the
customer and is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer including volume
rebates and discounts. The Company updates its estimates of refund liabilities at the end of each reporting period.
b) Other operating income
Revenue from job work charges, incentives on exports and other government incentives related to operations are recognized in
books after due consideration of certainty of utilization / receipt of such incentives.
c) Other income
Interest income on fixed deposit with banks and security deposit MSEB is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account
the amount outstanding and the rates applicable.
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the Company's right to receive payment is established.
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no
uncertainty in receiving the claims.
XVIII. Foreign currency translation / conversion
Standalone financial statements have been presented in Indian Rupees ('), which is the Company's functional and presentation
currency.
a) Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the
transaction.
b) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items,
which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Non-monetary items, which are measured at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign
currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date when such value was determined.
c) Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are
recognized as income or expense in the statement of profit and loss.
d) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or
loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are
recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is
capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
e) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred and exchange difference arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent
not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan.
Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilized for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from the commencement of activities relating
to construction / development of the qualifying assets up to the date of capitalization of such assets is added to the cost of the
assets.Other borrowing cost are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
XIX. Equity shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental cost net of taxes directly attributable to the issue of new equity shares are reduced
from retained earnings, net of taxes.
XX. Financial Instruments
1. Initial recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivable which are
initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets
and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to or deducted from the fair value on initial
recognition.
2. Subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial instruments
a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized 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 on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income 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 are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. A
financial asset i.e. equity which is not classified as FVOCI, are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
d) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the
holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of debt
instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of
loss allowance determined as per impairment requirement of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative
amortisation.
e) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair
valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an
amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-
month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at
lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to
the amount that is required to be recognised is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.
f) Cash and cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
g) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, for trade and other payables
maturing with one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments.
h) Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
3. De- recognition
The Company derecognizes 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 financial
liability) is derecognized from the Company's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled
or expires.
4. Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no
reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt
instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets.
Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company's senior management determines change in the
business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company's operations. Such changes are
evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an
activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively
from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model.
The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including, impairment gains or losses) or interest.
5. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and
settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(XI. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either :
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and the best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and
best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole :
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets & liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and the risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
CXII. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and
judgments, which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement:
a) Property, Plant and Equipment
External adviser or internal technical team assess the remaining useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment.
Management believes that the assigned useful lives and residual value are reasonable.
b) Income taxes
Management judgement is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The
Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimates may differ
from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported in the standalone financial statements.
c) Contingencies
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of Contingencies / claim /
litigations against the Company as it is possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
d) Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated
irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not to be collectible.
Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the
financial assets.
e) Mine restoration obligation
In determining the fair value of the mine restoration obligation, the Company uses technical estimates to determine the expected
cost to restore the mines and the expected timing of these costs. Discount rates are determined based on the government bond of
similar tenure.
f) Defined benefit obligations
The cost of defined benefit gratuity plans, and post-retirement medical benefit is determined using actuarial valuations. The
actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension
increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
XXIII. Recent Accounting pronouncement :
On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act,
2013. The amendments revise Division I, II and III of Schedule III and are applicable from April 1,2021. Key amendments relating to
Division II which relate to companies whose financial statements are required to comply with Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules 2015 are:
Balance Sheet :
a. Lease liabilities should be separately disclosed under the head 'financial liabilities', duly distinguished as current or non¬
current.
b. Certain additional disclosures in the statement of changes in equity such as changes in equity share capital due to prior period
errors and restated balances at the beginning of the current reporting period.
c. Specified format for disclosure of shareholding of promoters.
d. Specified format for ageing schedule of trade receivables, trade payables, capital work-in-progress and intangible asset under
development.
e. If a Company has not used funds for the specific purpose for which it was borrowed from banks and financial institutions, then
disclosure of details of where it has been used.
f. Specific disclosure under 'additional regulatory requirement' such as compliance with approved schemes of arrangements,
compliance with number of layers of companies, title deeds of immovable property not held in name of Company, loans and
advances to promoters, directors, key managerial personnel (KMP) and related parties, details of benami property held etc.
g. Material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other
information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose
financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on its financial
statements.
Recent Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31,2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023,
applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:
h. Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting
policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is
material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements.
The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on its financial statements.
i. Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases
and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and
24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal
taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.
j. Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors The amendments will help entities to distinguish
between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced
with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial
statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require
items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect
this amendment to have any significant impact on its financial statements.
Statement of profit and loss :
k. Additional disclosures relating to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), undisclosed income and crypto or virtual currency
specified under the head 'additional information' in the notes forming part of the standalone financial statements.
The amendments are extensive and the Company will evaluate the same to give effect to them as required by law.
35. Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, equity includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity
reserves attributable to the equity shareholders and net debt includes interest bearing loans and borrowings less current investments
and cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the
achievement of long-term and short-term goals of the Company.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of
the financial covenants. The funding requirement is met through a mixture of equity, internal accruals, long term borrowings and short
term borrowings. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net 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.
Note :
i) To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company reviews the fund management at regular intervals and takes necessary
actions to maintain the requisite capital structure.
ii) No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31st March, 2025 and
31st March, 2024.
36. Employees benefit
a) Defined contribution plans
The Company operates defined contribution retirement benefit plans for all qualifying employees. Under these plans, the Company is
required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs. Company's contribution to provident and other funds recognised in
statement of profit and loss of '922 lakhs (Previous Year '851 lakhs)
b) Defined benefit plans
The Company sponsors funded defined benefit plans for all qualifying employees. The level of benefits provided depends on the
member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.
The gratuity plan is covered by The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the gratuity plan, the eligible employees are entitled to get
the benefit at the time of retirement / separation at the rate of 15 days’ salary for each year of service until the retirement age of 60. The
vesting period for gratuity as payable under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is 5 years.
The plans in India typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, salary escalation risk and
liquidity risk.
Investment Risk : The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
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).
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The fair values of derivatives are on MTM as per Bank.
ii) Company has opted to fair value its Long term and Current investments through other Comprehensive income.
iii) Company has adopted effective rate of interest for calculating Interest. This has been calculated as the weighted average of effective
interest rates calculated for each loan. In addition processing fees and transaction cost relating to each loan has also been considered
for calculating effective interest rate.
Fair value hierarchy: The Company uses following hierarchy for determining and / or disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by
valuation techniques:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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).
39. Financial Risk Management
Financial risk factors
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial
guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company
has loan, Investment, trade receivables, other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of
these risks and also ensure that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that
financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. It is the Company’s
policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes will be undertaken.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below :
i) 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 prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and
commodity 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. 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.This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31st March,
2025 and 31st March, 2024.
a) 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. In order to optimize the Company's position with regards to interest expenses to manage the interest rate risk, treasury
performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial
instruments in its total loan portfolio. The Company's borrowings have been contracted at floating rates of interest. Accordingly,
carrying value of such borrowings which approximates fair value.
c) Equity price risk
Equity price risk is related to change in market reference price of investments in equity securities held by the Company.
The fair value of quoted investments held by the Company exposes the Company to equity price risks. In general, these investments
are not held for trading purposes.
Equity price sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price at the end of the reporting period.
A 5% change in equity prices of such securities held as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, would result in an impact of '38,618
lakhs and '18,060 Lakhs respectively on equity before considering tax impact.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and advances to
suppliers) and from its financing activities, including deposits and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables for which loss allowance is measure using life time expected credit losses (ECL)
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk
management. The Company continuously monitors the economic environment in which it operates. The Company manages its Credit
risk through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the
Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. An impairment analysis is performed at each quarter end on an
individual basis for major customers.
42. Subsequent events
No adjusting or significant non- adjusting events have occurred between the reporting date and date of authorization of these financial
statements.
43. The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the company towards
Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on
13th November, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders, which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The
Company will assess the impact and its evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial
statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.
44. Vendor's / Customer's reconciliations
The Company is obtaining confirmations and reconciliation with its trade receivables, trade payables and other dues receivables
regularly. The confirmations to the extent received have been reconciled and adjustments, if any, have been made. The others are
pending for confirmations, reconciliations and adjustments, if any. However, the management does not expect any significant variations
in the existing status and material financial impact.
45. GST reconciliations
The Company is in the process of reconciliation of Input Tax Credit as per Books and GST Portal. The reconciliation to the extent done
have been accounted for in the books of accounts. The management does not expect any material financial impact.
47. Other Statutory information
i) The Company does not have any benami property, and no proceeding has been initiated against the Company for holding any
benami property.
ii) The Company does not have any transactions with companies struck off.
iii) The Company does not have any charges or satisfaction which is yet to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period.
