2.8 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
a) Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If the obligation is expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of reporting date or has no definite settlement date, the provision is recorded as non-current liabilities after giving effect for time value of money, if material.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
b) Contingent liability is disclosed for possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
c) Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed except when realisation of income is virtually certain, related asset is disclosed.
d) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.9 Employee benefits
a) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits in respect of salaries and wages, including non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in which the related service is rendered.
b) Defined contribution plans
Company’s Contributions to Provident fund and superannuation are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due.
c) Defined benefit plans
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan which is unfunded. The liability or asset recognised in the Balance sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, if any. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by external actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The current service cost and interest on the net defined benefit liability / (asset) is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Past service cost are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred taxes arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
2.10 Financial instruments, Financial assets, Financial liabilities and Equity instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition based on its nature and characteristics.
Initial Measurement of Financial Instruments:
Financial assets (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Subsequent Mesurement:
i) Financial Assets
Financial Assets carried 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 on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets 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 are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Investment in equity instruments that are not held for trading are measured at FVTOCI, where an irrevocable election has been made by management on an instrument-by-instrument basis. These investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the reserves. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss on disposal of the investments. Dividends on such investments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Debt investments measured at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). On de-recognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
Note 2 Financial Assets 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. A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets:
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTOCI at each reporting date based on evidence or information that is available without undue cost or effort.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
In case of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, the loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding effect to the profit or loss and not reduced from the carrying amount of the financial asset in the balance sheet. In case of such instrument, amount recognized in the statement of profit and loss are the same as the amount would have been recognized in case the debt instrument is measured at amortised cost.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company measures the loss allowance using 'simplified approach' which is at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses taking into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
Derecognition of Financial Assets:
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party
On derecognition of a financial asset accounted under Ind AS 109 in its entirety:
a) for financial assets measured at amortised cost, the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
b) for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset represents an equity investment in which case the cumulative fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves is reclassified within equity
ii) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments:
Classification as debt or equity:
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
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. Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares and buy-back of equity shares are shown as a deduction from the Equity net of any tax effects.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Off-setting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously backed by past practice.
Fair value measurement:
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:
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) 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.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Expected Credit Loss
Expected credit loss (ECL) is the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses (i.e., the present value of all cash shortfalls) over the expected life of the financial instrument. A cash shortfall is the difference between scheduled or contractual cash flows and actual expected cash flows. Consequently, ECL subsumes both the amount and timing of payments - a credit loss would arise even when a receivable was realised in full but later than when contractually due.
2.11 Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items directly recognised in Equity or Other comprehensive income (OCI) in which case, income tax expenses are also recognised directly in Equity or Other comprehensive income respectively.
Current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss is provided as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the period using tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, together with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes (tax base), at the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the current taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
2.13 Earnings per Share
a) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted-average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
b) For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The number of equity shares and potential dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share split and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
2.14 Leases
a) Where the Company is the lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of land. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (a) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (b) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (c) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short- term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Leasehold land classified as Right-of-use assets is depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
b) Where the Company is the lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
2.15 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs, general or specific, that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of such asset till such time that is required to complete and prepare the asset to get ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.16 Government grants
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the conditions attached to them.
Government grants related to property, plant and equipment, including non-monetary grants, are presented in the Balance sheet by deducting the grant arriving at the asset’s carrying amount.
Government grants of revenue in nature are recognised on a systematic basis in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period necessary to match them with the related costs and are adjusted with the related expenditure. If not related to a specific expenditure, it is considered income and included under “Other operating revenue” or “Other income”.
2.17 Operating Segment
The Company is engaged in production of Solar photo-Voltaic Cells and Modules. Based on its internal organisation and management structure, the Company operates in only one business segment i.e. manufacturing of Solar photo-Voltaic Cells and Modules and in only one geographic segment i.e. India. Accordingly there are no separate reportable segments.
2.18 Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Indian Rupee.
Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Gains/ losses arising on settlement as also on translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in which they arise. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing rate. The resultant exchange rate differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are carried at the rates prevailing on the date of transaction.
2.19 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance sheet comprise cash on hand, cheques on hand, balance with banks, and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and carry an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.20 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non¬ cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
2.21 Exceptional items
Exceptional items include income or expenses that are part of ordinary activities. However, they are of such significance and nature that separate disclosure enables the user of financial statements to understand the impact more clearly. These items are identified by their size or nature to facilitate comparison with prior periods and assess underlying trends in the Company’s financial performance.
Note 3 Use of critical estimates, judgements and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The application of accounting policies that require critical judgements and accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in financial statements have been disclosed herein below.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
(ii) Fair value measurement
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable
markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
(iii) Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.
(iv) Valuation of inventories
The Company considers various factors like shelf life, ageing of inventory product discontinuation, price changes and any other factor which impacts the Company’s business in determining the allowance for obsolete, non-saleable and slow moving inventories. The Company considers the above factors and adjusts the inventory provision on a periodic basis to reflect its actual experience.
(v) Employee benefits
The accounting of employee benefit plans in the nature of defined benefit requires the Company to use assumptions. These assumptions include rate of increase in compensation levels, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and attrition rates
(vi) Provision for income tax and deferred tax assets
The Company exercises significant judgements in determining provision for income taxes, uncertain tax positions and to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of the each reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused losses (carry forward of prior years’ losses) to the extent that taxable profit would probably be available against which the losses and tax credit could be utilised. Significant judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities at each balance sheet date with consequential change being given effect to in the year of determination.
Note 4 Recent Pronouncements
(i) New and revised standards adopted by the Company
During the year ended 31st March 2025, the Company considered the amendments notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the 1st Amendment dated 12th August 2024, the 2nd Amendment dated 9th September 2024, and the 3rd Amendment dated 28th September 2024 to the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
These amendments primarily relate to the introduction of Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts and consequential changes to standards including Ind AS 101,103, 104, 105, 107, 109, 115, and 116, which address accounting and disclosure requirements for insurance contracts, financial guarantee contracts, and sale and leaseback arrangements, among others.
The adoption of these amendments did not have impact on the profit or loss and earnings per share of the Company for the year.
(ii) Standards issued but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), vide notification dated 7th May 2025, has amended Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and Ind AS 101 - First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. These amendments are applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2025.
The key amendment relates to providing guidance for assessing lack of exchangeability between currencies and estimating the spot exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable. Additional disclosure requirements have also been introduced in such scenarios, including the nature and financial effect of the currency in exchangeability, the estimation methodology used, and risks arising therefrom.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and expects that their application will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Notes:
1. The amounts shown above represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and timing of the cash flows are dependent on the outcome of different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants, as the case may be and, therefore, cannot be estimated accurately The Company does not expect any reimbursement in respect of above contingent liabilities. The Company has recognized a provision of Rs. 750.00 lakhs towards Income Tax Demand under appeal based on management assessment.
2. The company’s product namely Solar Photovoltaic Modules carry a warranty of 25 years as per International Standards.
A fair estimate of future liability that may arise on this account is not ascertainable. The same shall be accounted for as and when any claim occurs.
3. Pursuant to the High Court’s order dated 27 September 2012, the Company is required to deposit 25% of the demanded excise duty and penalty and provide a bond for the remaining 75% of the demand. Aggrieved by this order, the Company has filed GA 3166 of 2017 seeking rectification of the said order.
4. During the previous year, the employee provident fund comprises damages unders section 14B and interest under section 7Q of the Employees’ Provident Funds Act.
5. The Company’s pending litigation comprises of claim against the Company and proceeding pending against tax authorities.

The Company does not expects the outcome of these proceedings to have a material Impact on its financial position. Future cash outflows in respect of 'A’ above are dependent upon the outcome of judgments/ decisions.
3. Operating segment
The Company is primarily engaged in only one product line i.e., Solar photo-Voltaic Cells and Modules. All the activities of the Company revolve around the main business. As such there are no separate reportable segments as per requirements of Accounting Standard (Ind AS- 108) on operating segment. Further, the Company operates only in India, hence additional information under geographical segments is also not applicable. The Directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Chief Operating Decision Maker also monitors the operating results as one single segment for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and hence, there are no additional disclosures to be provided other than those already provided in the financial statements.
4 Employee Benefits :
As per Indian Accounting Standard - 19 “ Employee Benefits”, the disclosures of Employee Benefits are as follows: a) Defined Contribution Plan :
Employee benefits in the form of Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Corporation are considered as defined contribution plan.
The contributions to the respective fund are made in accordance with the relevant statute and are recognised as expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution. The contributions to defined contribution plan, recognised as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss are as under :
b) Defined Benefit Plan :
The Company operates a unfunded defined benefit plan (the gratuity plan) covering eligible employees, which provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employees salary and the tenure of employment. The liability is unfunded. The Company accounted for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation. The Company was exposed to interest risk, salary inflation risk and demographic risk.
i. Interest risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
ii. Salary Inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
iii. Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at 31st March, 2025 by a registered Actuary The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
d) During the previous year, the Company issued and allotted 10,62,500 and 2,46,429 Equity Shares pursuant to conversion of loan to the M/s Websol Green Projects Private Limited and M/s S.L. Industries Private Limited (Promoter Companies) respectively at the rate of Rs. 112 per share of face value of Rs. 10 each aggregating to Rs. 130.89 lakh (Refer note no. 13).
e) Refer Note No.14(4). for terms of warrants convertible into equity shares
f) The Company has received personal guarantee from Mr. S.L. Agarwal (Managing Director) and Corporate guarantee from M/s Websol Green Projects Private Limited and M/s S.L. Industries Private Limited (Promoter Companies) for the loan taken from IREDA Rs. 15,232.00 Lakh (Previous year: 15,232.00 Lakh) (Refer note no. 15). and given the letter of Comfort on behalf of Mrs. Raj Kumari Agarwal (Wife of Mr. S. L. Agarwal) for Rs. 590.00 lakh (Previous year: Rs. 590.00 lakh) (Refer note no. 35(1)).
g) Figures in brackets ( ) represents for year ended 31st March, 2024.
Terms & Conditions :
The transactions with related parties have been entered at an amount which are not materially different from those on normal commercial terms. Outstanding balances are unsecured and will be settled in cash. No guarantees have been given or received except as stated in para 35(8)(f).
B. Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are included 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.
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 or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
