SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies
applied in the preparation of the financial statements is
as given below. These accounting policies have been
applied consistently to all the periods presented in the
financial statements.

a. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its
purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates,
any import duties and other taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), any
directly attributable expenditure on making the asset
ready for its intended use, including relevant borrowing
costs for qualifying assets and any expected costs of
decommissioning. Expenditure incurred after the property,
plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as
repairs and maintenance, are charged to the Statement of
Profit and Loss in the year in which the costs are incurred.
Major shut-down and overhaul expenditure is capitalised
as the activities undertaken improves the economic
benefits expected to arise from the asset.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any
gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item
of property, pl ant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of
Profit and Loss.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying
value for all of its property, plant and equipment as

recognised in the financial statements of M/s. Balu India,
proprietary concern, measured as per the previous GAAP
and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of succession.

Capital Work-in-Progress

These are stated at cost to date relating to projects in
progress, incurred during construction / pre-operative
period (Net of income) incurred during the construction/
pre-operative period and the same is allocated to the
respective property, plant and equipment on the completion
of their construction. Property, plant and equipment not
ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet
are disclosed as "capital work-in- progress".

Intangible assets

I ntangible assets acquired separately are measured on
initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets
acquired in a business succession is their fair value
at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are
acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life
and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting year, with the effect of any changes in
estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are
acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.

Depreciation & amortization

Property, plant and equipment except freehold land
held for use in the production, supply or administrative
purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any.

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset,
or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated
residual value. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off
the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties
under construction) less their residual values over their
useful lives, using straight-line method as per the useful
life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The Company has redefined the useful life / residual value
of assets acquired on business succession in accordance

with the terms and conditions set out in the Business
Succession Agreement dated 3 August 2022, on the basis
of detailed technical analysis, taking into account the
nature of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset,
past history of replacement, anticipated technological
changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance
support, etc. which is depicted in below mentioned table.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting year, the Company reviews the
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if
any).

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible
assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment
at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that
the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating
unit) is estimated to be less than it''s carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit)
is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

The carrying amounts of the Company''s non-financial
assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount
is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss, if any.

b. Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried
at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the
business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated to each of the Group''s cash-generating units
(or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been
allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be
impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss
is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets
of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each
asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is
recognised directly in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is
not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the
attributable amount of goodwill is included in the
determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

c. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures

The investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures are carried in these financial statements at
historical ‘cost'' in accordance with the option available in
Ind AS 27, except when the investment, or a portion thereof,
is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted
for as Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations. 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.

d. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost on First-
In- First-Out (FIFO) or net realizable value after
providing for obsolescence and other losses, where
considered necessary.

Cost of raw materials comprises all costs of purchase and
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. Cost of finished goods
and work in progress include cost of direct materials and
labor and a proportion of manufacturing and other indirect

overheads based on the normal operating capacity
but excluding

borrowing costs. Cost of purchased inventory is
determined after deducting rebates and discounts.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and estimated costs necessary to make
the sale.

e. Revenue Recognitioni. Sale of goods

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable. The Company
recognises revenues on sale of products, net of
discounts, sales incentives, rebates granted, returns,
sales taxes/GST and duties when the products are
delivered to customer or when delivered to a carrier
for export sale, which is when title and risk and
rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Export
incentives are recognised as income as per the terms
of the scheme in respect of the exports made and
included as part of export turnover.

Revenue from sales is recognised when control of the
products has transferred, being when the products
are delivered to the customer, the customer has
full discretion over the channel and price to sell /
consume the products, and there is no unfulfilled
obligation that could affect the customer''s acceptance
of the products. Delivery occurs when the products
have been shipped to the specific location, the risks
of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to
the customer, and either the customer has accepted
the products in accordance with the sales contract or
the acceptance provisions have lapsed.

ii. Interest and dividend income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised
when it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Company and the amount of income can
be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a
time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding
and at the effective interest rate applicable, which
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on
initial recognition.

Dividend income from investments is recognized
when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has
been established (provided that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the
amount of income can be measured reliably).

f. Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether
a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

As a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except for short¬
term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company
recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of-use assets representing the right to use the
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the
commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right- of-use
assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised,
initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made
at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably
certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end
of the lease term, the recognised right- of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its
estimated useful life and the lease term.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company
at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise
of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the
estimated useful life of the asset. Right-of-use assets are
subject to impairment test.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed payments (including
in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under
residual value guarantees.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index
or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

I n calculating the present value of lease payments, the
Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease
is not readily determinable. After the commencement date,
the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the
accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments

made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities
is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the
lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes
to future payments resulting from a change in an index
or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a
change in the assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset.

As a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases.
Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line
basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in
negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to
the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized
over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period
in which they are earned.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases
of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis
as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are
leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

g. Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency of the Company is determined on
the basis of the primary economic environment in which it
operates. The functional currency of the Company is Indian
National Rupee (INR).

The transactions in currencies other than the entity''s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. At the end of each reporting year, monetary
items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated
at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the
date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized
in Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they
arise except for exchange differences on foreign currency
borrowings relating to assets under construction for
future productive use, which are included in the cost of
those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to
interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.

h. Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current tax is the amount of expected tax payable based on
the taxable profit for the year as determined in accordance
with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it
is probable that taxable profits will be available against
which those deductible temporary differences can be
utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither
the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition,
deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to
be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re¬
assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to
the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting year.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off
set if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred
taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit and
loss, except when they are relating to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also

recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in k
equity respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority
and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

i. Borrowing Cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to
the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are incurred.

The Company determines the amount of borrowing
costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing
costs incurred on that borrowing during the year less
any interest income earned on temporary investment
of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets, to the extent that an entity borrows
funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying
asset. In case if the Company borrows generally and uses
the funds for obtaining a qualifying asset, borrowing costs
eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a
capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset.
