2.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP). These financial statements has been prepared to comply
with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013. The financial statements have been prepared on
accrual basis under the historical cost convention except for
categories of fixed assets acquired before 1 April, 2011, that are
carried at revalued amounts. The accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the previous year.
2.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialise.
2.3 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable
value which ever is lower after providing for obsolescence and other
losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in
bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other
levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in- progress and
finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where
applicable, excise duty.
2.4 Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash
equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.5 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information.
2.6 Depreciation and amortisation
'Depreciation on fixed assets is provided to the extent of depreciable
amount on the written down value method. Depreciation is provided based
on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013.
2.7 Revenue recognition
Sale of goods
Sales are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer
of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which
generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers. Sales are
net of excise, sales tax and value added tax.
Income from services
Revenues from contracts priced on a time and material basis are
recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred.
Revenues from turnkey contracts, which are generally time bound fixed
price contracts, are recognised over the life of the contract using the
proportionate completion method, with contract costs determining the
degree of completion. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are
recognised when probable.
2.8 Other income
Interest income is accounted on accrual basis. Dividend income is
accounted for when the right to receive it is established.
2.9 Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Exchange differences
arising on restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency
borrowings relating to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets are
adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the
remaining useful life of such assets. Machinery spares which can be
used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use is
expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over the
useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent
expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if such
expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such
asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
2.10 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent
expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is
recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits
in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in
which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.
2.11 Foreign currency transactions and translations
Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies and integral foreign operations are
accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date
of the transaction.
Measurement of foreign currency monetary items at the Balance Sheet
date
Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of
the Company and its net investment in non-integral foreign operations
outstanding at the Balance Sheet date are restated at the year-end
rates.
In the case of integral operations, assets and liabilities (other than
non-monetary items), are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on
the Balance Sheet date. Non-monetary items are carried at historical
cost. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange
rates prevailing during the year. Exchange differences arising out of
these translations are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.12 Investments
Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of
investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties.
Investment properties are carried individually at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment, if any. Investment properties are
capitalised and depreciated (where applicable) in accordance with the
policy stated for Tangible Fixed Assets. Impairment of investment
property is determined in accordance with the policy stated for
Impairment of Assets.
2.13 Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, gratuity
fund, compensated absences, long service awards and post-employment
medical benefits.
Defined contribution plans
The Company's contribution to provident fund and superannuation fund
are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an
expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required
to be made.
Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund , the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance
Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost
is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already
vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the
average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit
obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value
of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past
service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus
the present value of available refunds and reductions in future
contributions to the schemes.
2.14 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs
incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the
extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the
loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets,
pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to
construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of
capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active
development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
2.15 Segment reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source,
nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and
management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which
separate financial information is available and for which operating
profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management
in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment
expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified
to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating
activities of the segment.
Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which
are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company
as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have
been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets /
liabilities".
2.16 Leases
Where the Company as a lessor leases assets under finance leases, such
amounts are recognised as receivables at an amount equal to the net
investment in the lease and the finance income is recognised based on a
constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment.
2.17 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the
profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of
extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and
other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential
equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.18 Taxes on income
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future
income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of
losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such
assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of
other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these
can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if
such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax
laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their
realisability.
2.19 Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
2.20 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.
2.21 Provision for warranty
The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when
products are sold. These estimates are established using historical
information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty
claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidence
based on corrective actions on product failures. The timing of outflows
will vary as and when warranty claim will arise - being typically upto
three years.
2.22 Insurance claims
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted /
expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty
in receiving the claims.
2.23 Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in
which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is no
uncertainty in availing / utilising the credits.

exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that

periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.

Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent [liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.

products are sold. These estimates are established using historical
information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty
claims and ; management estimates regarding possible future incidence
