j) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company recogniges provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of 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 recogniged as a finance cost.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements, however they are disclosed where the inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset and is recognised as an asset.
k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration for the respective performance obligation, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers. The Company's contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. The Company assesses the products / services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract and to ascribe the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there
is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Revenue from subsidiaries is recognised based on transaction price which is at arm's length.
Contract assets are recognised when there are excess of revenues earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
The amount spent by the company towards fulfilling its performance obligation (or part thereof) in accordance with contracts entered with counter party before the invoicing from such contract is due as per the Ind AS - 115 is regogniged as Contract Assets in these financials. A contract asset is an entity's right to the assets for performance obligation that the entity has executed in accordance with the contract.
Correspondingly, the amount received from counter party of the contract is recogniged as Contract Liability and the same is accordingly classified as revenue from operations in accordance with the satisfactory performance obligation of the company in due course of the contract from time to time, when such performance obligation is executed as per the contract.
While disclosing the aggregate amount of transaction price yet to be recognised as revenue towards unsatisfied (or partially) satisfied performance obligations, along with the broad time band for the expected time to recognise those revenues, the Company has applied the practical expediency in Ind AS 115. Accordingly, the Company has not disclosed the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations which pertain to contracts where revenue recognised corresponds to the value transferred to customer typically involving time and material, outcome based and event based contracts.
Unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations are subject to variability due to several factors such as delivery timelines, changes in scope of delivery, periodic revalidations of the estimates, economic factors (changes in currency rates, tax laws, methodology of the registry bodies, DOE audit of the project, other governmental regulations etc.). The aggregate value of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance
obligations is reported in the schedules of the financial statements and the price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations is expected to be recognised as revenue in the next five years.
All revenues are accounted on accrual basis except to the extent stated otherwise.
i) Revenue from Carbon Offsetting: The revenue from Carbon Offsetting is recogniged when the substantial risk and rewards are transferred by the company to the customer, and there is reasonable certainty that the consideration is either receivable or received.
Upon executing a composite contract with any project proponent for providing services and monetigation of carbon offsets, the project is usually registered in the registry account of the company and the credits are traded based on the contractual terms with the project proponent, even if the invoice for purchase of such credits is not received from the project proponent. In such scenario, pursuant to matching concept, the cost of such credits based on the contractual terms or understanding with the project proponent is recorded as expense in the statement of profit and loss with corresponding adjustment to the provision account of the project proponent.
ii) Revenue from Services: Revenue from services provided is recogniged when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured taking into account, contractually defined terms of payment and satisfaction of substantial performance obligation.
Revenue earned as a percentage of share of carbon credits in lieu of carbon advisory services rendered are recogniged as revenue as and when the credits are received in the registry account of the company, at the value of Right of First Refusal (ROFR) price quoted to the vendor / market value of the credits as identifiable through ongoing deals with corresponding adjustment to the inventory of the company.
iii) Other Revenues Other revenues are recogniged on accrual basis as per the terms of the respective contract/arrangements and in accordance with the provisions of AS 9: Revenue Recognition.
iv) Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
v) Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive dividend is established.
vi) Rent income is recognised on accural basis as per the agreed terms on straight line basis.
l) Employee Benefits Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains
and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past service cost, both vested and unvested, is recognised as an expense at the earlier of (a) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs; and (b) when the entity recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.
The Company provides benefits such as gratuity, pension and provident fund (Company managed fund) to its employees which are treated as defined benefit plans.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits. The Company provides benefits such as superannuation and defined contribution plans to its employees which are treated as defined contribution plans.
Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short¬ term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages etc. and the expected cost of ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid when there is a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Compensated absences
Compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as undiscounted liability at the balance sheet date. Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as an actuarially determined liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Gratuity and pension
In accordance with Indian law, the Company operates a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 to 30 days' salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five continuous years of service.
Provident fund
The Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined contribution plans for qualifying employees. The Company also offers to contribute to New Pension Scheme at the option of employees. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.
The Company offers its employees defined contribution plans in the form of Provident Fund (PF) and Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) with the government, and certain state plans such as Employees' State Insurance (ESI). PF and EPS cover substantially all regular employees and the ESI covers certain employees. The contributions are normally based on a certain proportion of the employee's salary.
m) Transactions in foreign currencies
i) The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees (“Rs").
Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of such transactions.
ii) Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary items or on reporting such monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements are recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.
iii) Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at historical cost and translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction.
n) Accounting for taxes on income
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax.
i) Current tax
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable profit for a period. Current tax for current and prior periods is recogniged at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 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.
Current tax is recogniged in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recogniged directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and current tax liabilities on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recogniged for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability that effects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transition.
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 realiged.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and current tax liabilities on a net basis.
Presentation of current and deferred tax
Current and deferred tax are recogniged as income or an expense in the statement of profit and loss, except to the extent they relate to items are recogniged in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred tax income / expense are recognised in other comprehensive income.
o) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except when the results would be anti-dilutive.
p) Share based payments
The Company recogniges compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance,
multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share based payment reserves.
q) Dividend
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the reporting period but remaining undistributed at the end of the reporting period, where the same has been appropriately authoriged and is no longer at the discretion of the entity
r) Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
s) Exceptional items
Certain occasions, the sige, type, or incidences of the item of income or expenses pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expenses is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the financial statements.
8. Critical accounting judgment and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. It also requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the accompanying disclosures including disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
a. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that have a low probability of crystalliging or are very difficult to quantify reliably, are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. There can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of these legal proceedings.
b. Useful lives and residual values
The Company reviews the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets at each financial year end.
c. Impairment testing
i) Judgment is also required in evaluating the likelihood of collection of customer debt after revenue has been recognised. This evaluation requires estimates to be made, including the level of provision to be made for amounts with uncertain recovery profiles. Provisions are based on historical trends in the percentage of
debts which are not recovered, or on more detailed reviews of individually significant balances.
ii) Determining whether the carrying amount of these assets has any indication of impairment also requires judgment. If an indication of impairment is identified, further judgment is required to assess whether the carrying amount can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows forecast to be derived from the asset. This forecast involves cash flow projections and selecting the appropriate discount rate.
d. Tax
i) The Company's tax charge is the sum of the total current and deferred tax charges. The calculation of the Company's total tax charge necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority or, as appropriate, through a formal legal process.
ii) Accruals for tax contingencies require management to make judgments and estimates in relation to tax related issues and exposures.
iii) The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, the availability of the losses to offset against forecast taxable profits is also considered. Recognition therefore involves judgment regarding the future financial performance of the particular legal entity or tax Company in which the deferred tax asset has been recogniged.
e. Fair value measurement
A number of Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categoriged into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of a fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categoriged in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire
iii. Significant Estimation Uncertainty: The valuation of inventory is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, given the reliance on future market conditions, obsolescence, and other factors. Changes in these assumptions may materially impact the reported inventory values.
iv. Historical Sales Trends: Management's assumptions regarding the salability and obsolescence of certain inventory items are based on historical sales
trends. Changes in market conditions or consumer preferences may render these assumptions inaccurate.
v. Impacts on Profitability: The choice of inventory valuation method can have a direct impact on the company's reported profitability. Any changes in the valuation method or assumptions could result in material adjustments to the financial statements.
measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of reporting year during which the change has occurred.
f. Defined benefit obligation
The costs of providing pensions and other post¬ employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees' services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 18 and 42.
g. Inventories
The valuation of inventory is a critical accounting estimate that involves significant judgment by management. The valuation of Inventory (carbon credits) involves complex and specialized factors, including
verification of emission reductions, market pricing, regulatory compliance, vintage, technology, the timing of recognized revenues, and other aspects. Management has considered the following critical aspects for the inventory valuation:
i. Verification and Regulatory Compliance: Carbon credits are subject to verification by regulatory authorities, and compliance with evolving environmental standards and regulations is paramount. Any discrepancies or non-compliance issues could have a material impact on the valuation of carbon credits and require periodic reassessment.
ii. Market Pricing Volatility: The market for carbon credits can be subject to significant price volatility due to changing regulations and market demand. Assumptions and estimates about market pricing may impact the reported value of carbon credits and the recognition of related revenue.
carrying value represents the best estimate of fair value.
For the financial assets measured at fair values, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
(iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value:
The fair value of the financials assets and liabilities is reported at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: a. The use of directly observable unquoted prices received from the respective mutual funds."
(iv) Fair Value hierarchy:
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are grouped into three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables and the Company's principal financial assets include investments in mutual funds, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 ‘Separate Financial Statements', which is not included above.
(ii) The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. Difference between carrying amounts and fair values of bank deposits, earmarked balances with banks, other financial assets, other financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost is not significant in each of the years presented. For all other amortised cost instruments,
The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company and seek to, where appropriate, minimize potential impact of the risk and to control and monitor such risks. There has been no change to the Company's exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.
The following sections provide details regarding the Company's exposure to the financial risks associated with financial instruments held in the ordinary course of business and the objectives, policies and processes for management of these risks.
(i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument that will fluctuate because of changes in market rates and prices. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to interest rate risk. Thus, the Company's
exposure to market risk is a function of investing and operating activities in foreign currencies.
(a) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company and the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's investment in deposits with banks are for short durations and therefore do not expose the Company to significant interest rate risk. Further, the terms loans availed by the Company carries a fixed interest rate and therefore not subject to interest rate risk since neither the carrying value nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of the change in market interest rates.
The Company's policy is to manage its interest rate risk by investing in fixed deposits, debt securities and debt mutual funds. Further, as there are no borrowings, the company's policy to manage its interest cost does not arise.
The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's outstanding floating rate debt.
Capital includes equity capital and all other reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the capital management is to ensure that it maintain an efficient capital structure and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder's value. The Company manages its capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions or its
(ii) 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 from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and deposits) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant.
(a) Exposure to credit risk:
At the end of the reporting period, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.
(b) Credit risk concentration profile:
At the end of the reporting period, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposures to credit risk in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is represented by the carrying amount of each financial assets as indicated in the balance sheet.
(c) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired:
None of the Company's cash equivalents, other bank balances, security deposits and other receivables were past due or impaired as at 31 March 2024. Trade and other receivables including loans that are neither past due nor impaired are from creditworthy debtors. Cash and short-term deposits investment securities that are neither past due nor impaired, are placed with or entered with reputable banks or financial institutions
or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default.
(d) Financial assets that are either past due or impaired:
The Company doesn't have any significant trade receivables or other financial assets which are either past due or impaired. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the Management also evaluates the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk. The Company's receivables turnover is quick and historically, there was no significant default on account of trade and other receivables. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information.
(iii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position comprising the cash and cash equivalents including other bank balances and investments in mutual funds on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments as of 31 March 2025:
business requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Company monitors capital using a debt to capital employed ratio which is debt divided by total capital plus debt. The Company's policy is to keep this ratio at an optimal level to ensure that the debt related covenants are complied with.
40 Segment reporting
The Company is into climate change & sustainability advisory and carbon offsetting, along with business excellence services. Also, the company develops its own projects for generation of carbon credits. The company has been operating in different business segments, which has different set of risk and rewards, vis-a-vis the profitability and expense allocation in different segments is also diverse. The Board of Directors of the Company have assessed and deliberated to report these segments by segregation of assets and liabilities & income and expenses to evaluate the performance of the respective segments and to unlock the potential of the segments. The allocation of resources and obligations is based on the analysis of the various performance indicators of the Company and their respective capital intensive nature. As per the requirements of Ind AS 108 - “Operating Segments”, the company has two reportable segments as under:
(i) Trading Segment: where the carbon credits are purchased from various vendors and are sold to customers
(ii) Generation Segment: where the carbon credits are issued from the projects implemented, developed and owned by the company.
The revenue of both these segments are earned majorly from sale of carbon credits, however the decision of board is derived separately in both these segments considering the variable outcomes of the respective segments.
43 Transfer Pricing Adjustment
As per transfer pricing legislation under section 92- 92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Company is required to use certain specific methods in computing arm's length prices of certain domestic and certain international transaction with associated enterprises and maintain adequate documentation in this respect. The legislations require that such information and documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the Company has appointed independent consultant (the ‘Consultant') for conducting the Transfer Pricing Study (the ‘Study') to determine whether the transactions with associate enterprises undertaken during the Financial year are on an “arm's length basis”. Management is of the opinion that the Company's domestic and international transactions
are at arm's length & require no transfer pricing adjustments.
44 Corporate Social Responsibility
The Company has formulated CSR committee and has set responsibility thereon to plan for expenditures on CSR as per the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The company was not required and has not incurred any amount towards CSR expenses during the FY 2024-25 considering losses incurred during FY 2023-24. However, in the FY 2023-24, the company has incurred Rs. 465.16 Lakhs on account of its contribution for Corporate Social Responsibility, at the rate of 2% of the average adjusted Net Profit for the previous three years. The CSR policy and the procedures in relation to it are in line with the requirements of the law.
A Explanation for change in ratio of more than 25%:
1. Financial year 2021-22 was an exceptional year for the company as the prices for carbon credits vis-a-vis demand for the credits increased substantially. The company held its leadership position in the market and capitalized on the opportunities during the FY
2021- 22. During the FY 2022-23, owing to various macro-economic factors as stated by the company in its investor presentations, the overall business of the company slowed-down during the second half of the year. The broad reasons for such slow-down are low pricing of environmental commodity, impact due to international geopolitical turmoil, high interest rate, inflation, regulatory changes, Media trial of green house mitigation projects, rating of project etc. The company was still able to generate profits during FY
2022- 23, however owing to such macro-economic factors, the company incurred heavy losses during FY
2023- 24.
2. During FY 2024-25, the company has regained its stability and profitability. However, considering the extreme volatility in the business of the company in last few years, the financial figures of the company is uncomparable. The primary explanations in respect of change in the ratios revolve around decrease in revenue due to reduction in demand, increase in profits owing to margin based trades and trading of own generated credits, increased liquidity of the company, reduction of debt and better working cycle.
3. The business and profit margins of the company has
also shrinked owing to unstable market and industry of carbon credit business. Accordingly the ratios of the company may vary year on year and not depict the correct trend analysis.
