The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

For all the periods up to and including the year ended 31March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (''Previous GAAP'').

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and except for the changes in accounting policy discussed more fully below, are consistent with those used in the previous year.

2) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will fow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

A. SALE OF GOODS

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer of goods as per the terms of contracts, the Company retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with the ownership and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. The Company collects CST/VAT/GST on the behalf of the Government and therefore these are not economic benefits flowing to the company. Hence they are excluded from Revenue.

However, the revenue up to Q1 of the F.Y. 2017-18 includes the excise duty amounts that have been collected from customers, which is shown separately in the expenditure head of the statement of profit & loss as per the disclosure requirements.

Thereafter, with the introduction of Goods & Service Tax as on 01 June 2017, the tax amounts are excluded from the revenue for the period from Q2 to Q4 of F.Y. 2017-18.

B. INTEREST INCOME

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will fow 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 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.

C. OTHER INCOME

(i) Dividend Income is accounted in the period in which the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

(ii) Revenue in respect of claims is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists with regard to the amount to be realized and the ultimate collection thereof.

D. DUTY DRAWBACK AND EXPORT INCENTIVES

Income from duty drawback and export incentives is recognized on an accrual basis.

3) Leasing As a Lessee

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease''s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings or other Financial liabilities, as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset''s useful life or over the shorter of the asset''s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases.

As a Lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate the lessor for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

4) ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES ON INCOME

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the company operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Deferred income taxes refect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.

At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. 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 deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

MAT credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

5) IMPAIRMENT OF NON FINANCIAL ASSETS

A. At each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested based on internal/external factors, for impairment so as to determine:

(i) The provision for impairment loss, if any; and

(ii) The reversal of impairment loss recognized in previous periods, if any,

B. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined:

(i) In the case of an individual asset, higher of the net selling price and the value in use.

(ii) In the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash fows), at the higher of the cash generating unit''s net selling price and the value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash fows discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of Capital, from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life).

Post impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life.

6) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents balances include cash in hand, fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks, other bank balances such as dividend accounts, which have restrictions on repatriation, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

7) INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The cost in respect of the various items of inventory is computed as under:

a) In case of raw materials at weighted average cost plus direct expenses. The cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

b) In case of stores and spares at weighted average cost plus direct expenses. The cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

c) In case of work in progress at raw material cost plus conversion costs depending upon the stage of completion.

d) In case of finished goods at raw material cost plus conversion costs, packing cost, excise duty (if applicable) and other overheads incurred to bring the goods to their present location and condition.

8) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Initial recognition and measurement

On initial recognition, all the financial assets and liabilities are recognized at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability except trade receivables which are recognized at transaction price.

Subsequent measurement Non-derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently 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 fows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash fows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash fows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash fows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(iv) Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest 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.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counter party for these contracts is generally a bank.

Although the Company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind-As 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind-AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in statement of profit and loss. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Equity Share Capital

(i) Equity shares

Equity shares issued by the Company are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

De-recognition of financial instruments

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash fows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind-AS 109. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined using the 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.

Based on the three level fair value hierarchies, the methods used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities include quoted market price, discounted cash fow analysis and valuation certified by the external valuer.

In case of financial instruments where the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments, carrying amount is considered as fair value.

9) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT(PPE)

Fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credit availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment and those which have been revaluated are stated at the values determined by the valuers less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of freight and other incidental expenses and interest on loan taken for the acquisition of qualifying assets up to the date of commissioning of assets.

Subsequent expenditure related to PPE is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will fow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day to day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

Gain or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposable proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

The exchange differences arising on reporting of long term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset, have been added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and shall be depreciated over the balance useful life of the asset.

For transition to Ind AS, The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its PPE recognised as of 01 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

10) DEPRECIATION / AMORTIZATION ON TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
