2.17. Provisions and Contingencies:
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present
obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising from past events
and whose existence will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the entity or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but
is not recognized because;
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation, or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognize a contingent
liability but discloses its existence and other required
disclosures in notes to the financial statements,
unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement
is remote.
2.18. Share based payments:
Equity- settled share-based payments to employees are
measured at the fair value of the employee stock options
at the grant date.
The fair value of option at the grant date is expensed over
the vesting period in which the service conditions are
fulfilled in employee benefits expense with a corresponding
increase in equity as "Share Based Payment Reserveâ. In
case of forfeiture of unvested option, portion of amount
already expensed is reversed. In a situation where the
vested option forfeited or expires unexercised, the
related balance standing to the credit of the "Share Based
Payment Reserveâ are transferred to the "General Reserveâ.
When the options are exercised, the Company issues new
fully paid up equity shares of the Company. The proceeds
received and the related balance standing to credit of the
Share Based Payment Reserve, are credited to equity share
capital (nominal value) and Securities Premium.(Refer note
:52)
2.19. Segment Reporting:
Segments are identified based on the manner in which the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODMâ) decides about
resource allocation and reviews performance. Segment
results that are reported to the CODM include items
directly attributable to a segment as well as those that
can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Segment capital
expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to
acquire property and equipment and intangible assets
other than goodwill.
2.20. Climate Related Matters:
The Company considers climate-related matters in
estimates and assumptions, where appropriate. This
assessment includes a wide range of possible impacts
on the Company due to both physical and transition risks.
Even though the Company believes its business model
and products will still be viable after the transition to a
low-carbon economy, climate-related matters increase
the uncertainty in estimates and assumptions. Even
though climate-related risks might not currently have a
significant impact on measurement, the Company is
closely monitoring relevant changes and developments,
such as new climate-related legislation.
2.21. Earnings per share:
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss before other comprehensive Income
for the period attributable to equity shareholders of
parent by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in
the determination of basic earnings per share to take
into account:
⢠The after income tax effect of interest and
other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential equity shares, and
⢠The weighted average number of additional
equity shares that would have been outstanding
assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
2.22. New and amended standards
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS
117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification dated 12 August
2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024.
i. Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive
new accounting standard for insurance contracts
covering recognition and measurement, presentation
and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104
Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of
insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities
that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and
financial instruments with discretionary participation
features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117
is based on a general model, supplemented by:
⢠A specific adaptation for contracts with
direct participation features (the variable fee
approach)
⢠A simplified approach (the premium allocation
approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material
impact on the Companyâs separate financial
statements as the Company has not entered any
contracts in the nature of insurance contracts
covered under Ind AS 117.
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which
amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease
Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a
seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability
arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure
the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount
of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it
retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and must
be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback
transactions entered into after the date of initial
application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact on
the Companyâs financial statements, as the company
not have any sale and lease back transactions.
2.23. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and
assumptions:
The preparation of the Company financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future
periods. Some of the significant accounting judgement
and estimates are given below
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the
present value of the gratuity obligation are determined
using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation
involves making various assumptions that may differ
from actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. All assumptions are
reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most
subject to change is the discount rate. In determining
the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in
India, the management considers the interest rates of
government bonds in currencies consistent with the
currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
Future salary increases and gratuity increases are
based on expected future inflation rates for the
respective countries. The mortality rate is based on
publicly available mortality tables for the specific
countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only
at interval in response to demographic changes
When the fair values 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
including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. 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.
Refer Note 37 for further disclosures.
The Company cannot readily determine the interest
rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease
liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the
Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar
term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-
use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR
therefore reflects what the Company ''would have to
payâ, which requires estimation when no observable
rates are available. The Company estimates the IBR
using observable inputs (such as market interest
rates) when available and is required to make certain
entity-specific estimates (such as the credit rating).
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant
proportion of the asset base of the Company. The
charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived
after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected
useful life and the expected residual value at the end
of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the
Company assets are determined by management
at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed
periodically, including at the end of each financial
year. The lives are based on historical experience
with similar assets.
A The description, nature, purpose and movement of each reserve under other equity are as follows:-
a) Securities Premium :
Securities premium represents the premium on issue of equity shares. The same can be utilised in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
General reserve is the retained earnings of the Company, which are kept aside out of the Company''s profit to meet future
obligations, if any.
Capital Reserve includes amount received on allotment of convertible warrants was forfeited and transferred to Capital
Reserve Account.
This reserve is a statutory reserve which is created and will be utilized in accordance with the provisions of Section 115VT
of Income tax Act 1961 to comply with the provisions of ''Tonnage Tax Schemeâ under Chapter XII-G.
The Honâble Andhra Pradesh High Court, approved the Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation. ("The Schemeâ) vide
its Order dated March 19, 2013 which interalia, permits creation of a capital reserve to be called Special Reserve to which
shall be credited excess of value of assets over value of liabilities on amalgamation of the subsidiaries amounting to
'' 55,554 Lakhs to be utilized by the Company to adjust therefrom any capital losses arising from transfer of assets and
certain other losses, any balance remaining in the Special Reserve shall be available for adjustment against any future
permanent diminution in the value of assets and exceptional items etc. as specified in the Scheme as the Board of
directors may deem fit.
f) Retained Earnings:
Retained earnings comprise of net accumulated profit/(loss) of the Company, after declaration of dividend.
The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity-settled share based payment transactions with
employees. The amount recorded in this reserve is transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock appreciation
rights by employees. The amount outstanding in the "Share based payment reserve" will be transferred to "General
Reserve", when the options are lapsed / cancelled.
The Exceptional items (non-recurring) represents :
a) In January 2016, the Company had issued a Corporate Guarantee to IDFC Bank Limited (''IDFCâ) on behalf of GI Hydro
Private Limited (formerly GATI Infrastructure Private Limited (''GIPLâ)). In FY 2017-18, the Company recorded a liability of
'' 2,360 lakhs due to the invocation of the Corporate Guarantee by IDFC. Subsequently, IDFC assigned all rights, title, and
interests in financial assistance of GIPL to Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (''Edelweissâ) under the
SARFAESI Act, 2002.
During the Previous financial year, GIPL has raised funds by issuing bonds and repaid its debts to Edelweiss and thereby on
January 12, 2024, Edelweiss has issued no-due certificate relinquishing the Corporate Guarantee issued by the Company.
Accordingly, the Company has reassessed its exposure and reversed the liability of '' 2,360 lakhs. This has been treated
as exceptional item (gain). Further the legal matters associated with this guarantee are disposed off during the Previous
financial year.
b) Gati Import Export Trading Limited (GIETL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has discontinued its operations
in FY 2021. Companyâs investment in GIETL has been provided to extent of '' 192 lakhs as on March 31, 2025, out of this

c) The Company has recorded a net gain of '' 555Lakhs from sale of its Non core Assets. Out of this, Net gain on sale of
assets which are disclosed under "Assets held for Saleâ in the previous year is '' 289 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - Gain '' 308
lakhs).
d) A loss on write off in Property, Plant and Equipment is on account of discardment of Property, Plant and Equipment which
have outlived their useful life and those which are no longer required for business operations was Nil as on March 31, 2025
(March 31, 2024 - '' 1 lakhs).
e) During the financial year an impairment allowance of '' 193 lakhs has been provided in books on account of diminution in
the fair value of Property, plant & Equipment (March 31, 2024 - '' Nil).â
A) Neera Children Trust (''NCT'') Vs. Gati Limited. & 29 Ors. (NCLT 535 of 2019), NCLT Hyderabad
Neera Children Trust (NCT) has filed a case alleging oppression and mismanagement against Gati Limited, its promoters, and
directors, with the case currently under the purview of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Hyderabad. Various Interim
Applications (IAs) have been submitted by different parties during the proceedings, addressing matters such as maintainability,
waiver, the legality of postal ballots, shifting the registered office, and adding other respondents. In one significant development,
Gati Limited filed an IA requesting the relocation of its registered office from Telangana to Maharashtra, which was granted
by the NCLT on April 25, 2023.
As the litigation proceeds, Gati Limited''s counter to the interim reliefs sought by NCT has been recorded.The case has seen
six IAs filed by various parties, focusing on issues of maintainability, waiver, the legality of the postal ballot, the shifting of
the head office, and the addition of other respondents. The Companyâs counter to the interim reliefs sought by NCT has been
taken on record. Post the final hearing on November 7, 2024 the petition is posted for arguments by petitioner on June 12,
2025. According to the assessment by the learned counsel, there is a high possibility of obtaining a favorable order in this case.
However, the final resolution and its potential impact on Gati Limited''s financial position depend on the NCLT''s final verdict.
Until the NCLT reaches a decision, the ultimate impact on Gati Limited''s financial standing cannot be determined with certainty.
The company is committed to monitoring the proceedings closely and will assess any potential financial implications as they
arise.
Defined benefits - Gratuity
The Company provides gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in
continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination
is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of
years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the company makes contributions to recognised funds in India.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as currency risk, interest risk and market (investment)
risk.
The Company expects '' 20 lakhs to contribute to Gratuity Fund in the next year.
Defined benefits - Compensated absences
The Company provides for accumulation of leaves by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward
a portion of the unutilised leaves and utilise them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Companyâs policy.
The Company records a liability for such leaves in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this
entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation is '' 6 lakhs and '' 14 lakhs as at March 31, 2025
and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Inherent risk
The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to
the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company, to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic
experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to
employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to longevity risk.
The following tables analyse present value of defined benefit obligations, expense recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss,
actuarial assumptions and other information.
C. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities includes borrowings, Lease liabilities, trade payable and other financial liabilities.
The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations. The Companyâs principal financial assets
include Loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets that derive directly from its operations.
The Companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Companyâs primary risk management focus
is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s exposure to credit risk is
influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
The Companyâs risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks
faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same.
Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and
the Companyâs activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Companyâs receivables from customers and loans given.
Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including
outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial
assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses
the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision
matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provisions at each reporting date whenever is for
longer period and involves higher risk. The Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or
gain in accordance with Ind AS 109. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the credit loss allowance for trade
receivables.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable
price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability
of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company''s finance team
is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to
such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling
forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. Besides , it generally has certain undrawn credit facilities which can be
accessed as and when required ; such credit facilities are reviewed at regular intervals. Thus , no liquidity risk is perceived
at present.
The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet
its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date
based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Floating exchange rate
Floating exchange rate with reference to Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange
rates and interest rates - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,
while optimising the return.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. The total unhedged foreign currency exposure at the year end towards Trade Receivable & Trade
Payable is '' 10 Lakhs (Previous year '' 9 Lakhs) and '' 11 Lakhs (Previous Year '' 24 Lakhs) respectively. The Company does
not have significant foreign currency exposure and hence, is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily
to the Company''s long term and short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the
credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
Sensitivity analysis
Fixed rate instruments that are carried at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk for the purpose of sensitive
analysis.
Equity risk
The Companyâs quoted equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future
values of the investment securities. The reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Companyâs senior management
on a regular basis. The senior management reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors,
creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital
structure the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders. The Company
aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all
its shareholders. For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity
reserves attributable to the equity holders and debt includes borrowings and lease liabilities.
A Basis for segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Companyâs other components,
and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segmentsâ operating results are reviewed regularly by
the Companyâs Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments
and assess their performance.
The Company has two reportable segments, as described below, which is the Companyâs primary business segment. These
business units are managed separately because they require different marketing strategies. For these business the Companyâs
CODM (designation of the person who reviews) reviews internal management reports at quarterly basis.
Reportable segments - Operations
Continued Operations - Express Distribution ( Covers integrated E-commerce cargo logistics)
Discontinued Operations - Fuel Stations (Covers fuel stations dealing in petrol, diesel and lubricants, etc.)
B Information about reportable segments
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment
profit (before tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Company''s CODM. Segment profit
is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results
of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an
armâs length basis.
(i) This is to confirm that the above transactions are
(a) comprehensive and have been reviewed by Internal Auditors of the Company;

(iv) The amounts outstanding are unsecured and will be settled in cash. No guarantees have been given in FY 2024-25.
(v) The remuneration of directors is determined by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee having regard to the performance
of individuals and market trends.
(vi) Wherever amounts are ""0"", the value is less than rupees fifty thousand.
(vii) Post employment benefits are actuarially determined on overall basis and hence not seperately provided.
Services are rendered to related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an armâs length transaction and
in the ordinary course of business. Such services generally include payment terms requiring related party to make payment
within 30 days from the date of invoice.
Trade receivables outstanding balances are unsecured, interest free and require settlement in cash. No guarantee or other
security has been received against these receivables. The amounts are recoverable within 30 days from the invoice date (31
March 2024: 30 days from the invoice date). For the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group has not recorded any impairment on
receivables due from related parties (31 March 2024: Nil).
Trade payables outstanding balances are unsecured, interest free and require settlement in cash. No guarantee or other security

Group has not recorded any impairment on loans due from the subsidiary (31 March 2024: Nil).
The amounts disclosed in the table are the amounts recognised as an expense during the financial year related to KMP. The
amounts do not include expense, if any, recognised toward post-employment benefits and other long-term benefits of key
managerial personnel. Such expenses are measured based on an actuarial valuation done for each Company in the Group as
a whole. Hence, amounts attributable to KMPs are not separately determinable.
43. During the previous year, Company had signed an out of
court settlement with AIR India, pertaining to an ongoing
legal matter before the Hon''ble Delhi High Court. As a

deposit pending utilization
49. The Board of Directors of the company have not
recommended any dividend for the current financial year
with an objective to conserve cash.
1. The increase in the current ratio is primarily due to a rise in current assets, particularly intercorporate deposits and
unutilised bank balance post receipt on account of Qualified Institutional Placements.
2. The debt service coverage ratio has improved as a result of higher earnings and a significant reduction in debt.
3. The decline in return on equity is attributable to decline in profitability and issuance of equity share capital through a
Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP).
4. The inventory turnover ratio has reduced due to a reduction in average inventory compared to the previous year.
5. The increase in the trade payables turnover ratio is due to a decrease in account payables compared to the previous year.
6. The drop in the net capital turnover ratio is linked to increase in current assets.
7. The net profit ratio has decreased owing to lower net profits compared to the previous year.
8. The return on capital employed has fallen due to a decline in profitability and increase in capital employeed.
9. Increase in ROI is attributed to new investments in mutual funds and unutilized QIP funds investment in Fixed Deposits

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Such liabilities are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements. No disclosure is made if the possibility of an outflow on this account is remote.
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Where there is an unrealized exchange loss which is treated as an adjustment to interest and subsequently there is a realised or unrealized gain in respect of the settlement or translation of the same borrowing, the gain to the extent of the loss previously recognised as an adjustment is recognised as an adjustment to interest.
Equity- settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date.
The fair value of option at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity as "Share Option outstanding accountâ. In case of forfeiture of unvested option, portion of amount already expensed is
reversed. In a situation where the vested option forfeited or expires unexercised, the related balance standing to the credit of the "Share Option outstanding accountâ are transferred to the "General Reserveâ. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new fully paid up equity shares of the Company. The proceeds received and the related balance standing to credit of the Share Option outstanding account, are credited to equity share capital (nominal value) and Securities Premium.
Segments are identified based on the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODMâ) decides about resource allocation and reviews performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill.
The Company considers climate-related matters in estimates and assumptions, where appropriate. This assessment includes a wide range of possible impacts on the Company due to both physical and transition risks. Even though the Company believes its business model and products will still be viable after the transition to a low-carbon economy, climate-related matters increase the uncertainty in estimates and assumptions. Even though climate-related risks might not currently have a significant impact on measurement, the Company is closely monitoring relevant changes and developments, such as new climate-related legislation.
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before other comprehensive Income for the period attributable to equity shareholders of parent by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
⢠The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
⢠The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated 31 March 2023 to amend the following Ind AS which are effective from April 1, 2023. The Company applied for the first-time these amendments.
amendments related to shifting of disclosure of erstwhile "significant accounting policiesâ to "material accounting policiesâ in the notes to the financial statements and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions.
The amendments have had an impact on the Company disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Company financial statements.
ii. Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes: The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12. At the date of transition to Ind ASs, a first-time adopter shall recognise a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Similarly, a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with: a) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, b) decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related asset. Therefore, if a Groupe has not yet recognised deferred tax on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities or has recognised deferred tax on net basis, the same need to recognise on gross basis based on the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
The amendments had no impact on the Standalone financial statements.
iii. Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. It has also been clarified how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments had no impact on the Standalone financial statements.
The preparation of the Company financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Some of the significant accounting judgement and estimates are given below
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is
the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes
When the fair values 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 including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. 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. Refer Note 37 for further disclosures.
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ''would have to payâ, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the credit rating).
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Company assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets.
A The description, nature, purpose and movement of each reserve under other equity are as follows:-
a) Securities Premium :
Securities premium represents the premium on issue of equity shares. The same can be utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
General reserve is the retained earnings of the Company, which are kept aside out of the Company''s profit to meet future obligations, if any.
Capital Reserve includes amount received on allotment of convertible warrants was forfeited and transferred to Capital Reserve Account.
This reserve is a statutory reserve which is created and will be utilized in accordance with the provisions of Section 115VT of Income tax Act 1961 to comply with the provisions of ''Tonnage Tax Schemeâ under Chapter XII-G.
e) Special Reserve: The Honâble Andhra Pradesh High Court, approved the Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation. ("The Schemeâ) vide its Order dated March 19, 2013 which interalia, permits creation of a capital reserve to be called Special Reserve to which shall be credited excess of value of assets over value of liabilities on amalgamation of the subsidiaries amounting to '' 55,554 Lakhs to be utilized by the Company to adjust therefrom any capital losses arising from transfer of assets and certain other losses, any balance remaining in the Special Reserve shall be available for adjustment against any future permanent diminution in the value of assets and exceptional items etc. as specified in the Scheme as the Board of directors may deem fit.
f) Retained Earnings: Retained earnings comprise of net accumulated profit/(loss) of the Company, after declaration of dividend.
g) Share based payment Reserve: The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity-settled share based payment transactions with employees. The amount recorded in this reserve is transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock appreciation rights by employees. The amount outstanding in the "Share based payment reserve" will be transferred to "General Reserve", when the options are lapsed / cancelled.
Contingent liabilities
In the ordinary course of business, the Company faces claims and assertions by various parties. The Company assesses such claims and assertions and monitors the legal environment on an on-going basis with the assistance of external legal counsel, wherever necessary. The Company records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters in its financial statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered possible, but not probable, the Company provides disclosure in the financial statements but does not record a liability in its accounts unless the loss becomes probable. The following is a description of claims and assertions where a potential loss is possible, but not probable.
The Company is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and as defendant. There are claims which the Company does not believe to be of a material nature, other than those described below:
Neera Children Trust (NCT) has filed a case alleging oppression and mismanagement against Gati Limited, its promoters, and directors, with the case currently under the purview of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Hyderabad. Various Interim Applications (IAs) have been submitted by different parties during the proceedings, addressing matters such as maintainability, waiver, the legality of postal ballots, shifting the registered office, and adding other respondents. In one significant development, Gati Limited filed an IA requesting the relocation of its registered office from Telangana to Maharashtra, which was granted by the NCLT on April 25, 2023.
As the litigation proceeds, Gati Limited''s counter to the interim reliefs sought by NCT has been recorded, and the main petition is scheduled for a hearing on June 24, 2024. The case has seen six IAs filed by various parties, focusing on issues of maintainability, waiver, the legality of the postal ballot, the shifting of the head office, and the addition of other respondents. According to the assessment by the learned counsel, there is a high possibility of obtaining a favorable order in this case. However, the final resolution and its potential impact on Gati Limited''s financial position depend on the NCLT''s final verdict.
Until the NCLT reaches a decision, the ultimate impact on Gati Limited''s financial standing cannot be determined with certainty. The Company is committed to monitoring the proceedings closely and will assess any potential financial implications as they arise.
a) Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timing of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgments / decisions pending with various forums / authorities.
b) The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. Also, the Company does not expect any reimbursement in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
C) There has been a Supreme Court (SC) judgement dated February 28, 2019, relating to components of salary structure that needs to be taken into account while computing the contribution to provident fund under the EPF Act. There are interpretative aspects related to the Judgement including the effective date of application. From the previous year ended March 31, 2023, the Company is in compliance with same. The Company will continue to assess any further developments in this matter for the implications on financial statements, if any. Further, pending decision on the subject review petition and directions from the EPFO, the impact for the past period, if any, was not ascertainable and consequently no effect was given in the accounts.
D) The Code on Social Security 2020 (Code) related to employee benefits during employment and post-employment received Presidential assent in September''2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India; however, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/ interpretation have not yet been issued. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective. However, the Company envisages that the impact of the above would not be material.
The Company provides gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the company makes contributions to recognised funds in India.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as currency risk, interest risk and market (investment) risk.
The Company expects '' 20 lakhs to contribute to Gratuity Fund in the next year.
The Company provides for accumulation of leaves by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised leaves and utilise them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Companyâs policy. The Company records a liability for such leaves in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation is '' 14 lakhs and '' 14 lakhs as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company, to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to longevity risk.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities includes borrowings, Lease liabilities, trade payable and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations. The Companyâs principal financial assets include Loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets that derive directly from its operations.
The Companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Companyâs primary risk management focus is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The Companyâs risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Companyâs receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provisions at each reporting date whenever is for longer period and involves higher risk. The Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain in accordance with Ind AS 109. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the credit loss allowance for trade receivables.
Floating exchange rate
Floating exchange rate with reference to Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The total unhedged foreign currency exposure at the year end towards Trade Receivable & Trade Payable is '' 9 Lakhs (Previous year '' 2 Lakhs) and '' 24 Lakhs (Previous Year '' 3 Lakhs) respectively. The Company does not have significant foreign currency exposure and hence, is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term and short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
The interest rate profile of the Company ''s interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders and debt includes borrowings and lease liabilities.
A Basis for segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Companyâs other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segmentsâ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Companyâs Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Company has two reportable segments, as described below, which is the Companyâs primary business segment. These business units are managed separately because they require different marketing strategies. For these business the Companyâs CODM (designation of the person who reviews) reviews internal management reports at quarterly basis.
Reportable segments - Operations
Express Distribution - Covers integrated E-commerce cargo logistics
Fuel Stations - Covers fuel stations dealing in petrol, diesel and lubricants, etc.
B Information about reportable segments
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit (before tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Company''s CODM. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an armâs length basis.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Such liabilities are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements. No disclosure is made if the possibility of an outflow on this account is remote.
A contingent asset is a possible asset arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recognised till the realisation of the income is virtually certain. However, the same are disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefits are possible.
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Where there is an unrealized exchange loss which is treated as an adjustment to interest and subsequently there is a realised or unrealized gain in respect of the settlement or translation of the same borrowing, the gain to the extent of the loss previously recognised as an adjustment is recognised as an adjustment to interest.
Equity- settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date.
The fair value of option at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity as âShare Option outstanding account". In case of forfeiture of unvested option, portion of amount already expensed is reversed. In a situation where the vested option forfeited or expires unexercised, the related balance standing to the credit of the âShare Option outstanding account" are transferred to the âGeneral Reserve". When the options are exercised, the Company issues new fully paid up equity shares of the Company. The proceeds received and the related balance standing to credit of the Share Option outstanding account, are credited to equity share capital (nominal value) and Securities Premium.
Segments are identified based on the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODM'') decides about resource allocation and reviews performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill.
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before other comprehensive Income for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

⢠The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
⢠The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
e) Share based payment Reserve: The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity-settled share based payment transactions with employees. The amount recorded in this reserve is transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock appreciation rights by employees.

The Company provides gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as currency risk, interest risk and market (investment) risk.
The Company expects '' 8.3 lakhs to contribute to Gratuity Fund in the next year.
The Company provides for accumulation of leaves by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised leaves and utilise them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company''s policy. The Company records a liability for such leaves in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation is '' 14 lacs and '' 11 lacs as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company, to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to longevity risk.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
The Company''s principal financial liabilities includes borrowings, Lease liabilities, trade payable and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include Loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets that derive directly from its operations.
The Company''s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company''s primary risk management focus is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The Company''s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provisions at each reporting date whenever is for longer period and involves higher risk. The Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain in accordance with Ind AS 109. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the credit loss allowance for trade receivables.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company''s finance team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. Besides , it generally has certain undrawn credit facilities which can be accessed as and when required ; such credit facilities are reviewed at regular intervals. Thus , no liquidity risk is perceived at present.
The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Floating exchange rate
Floating exchange rate with reference to Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The total unhedged foreign currency exposure at the year end towards Trade Receivable & Trade Payable is '' 15 Lakhs (Previous year '' 53 Lakhs) and '' 28 Lakhs (Previous Year '' 29 Lakhs) respectively. The Company does not have significant foreign currency exposure and hence, is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term and short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
The interest rate profile of the Company ''s interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
Fixed rate instruments that are carried at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk for the purpose of sensitive analysis.
The Company''s quoted equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Company''s senior management on a regular basis. The senior management reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
Investment in equity instruments of the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India. The table below summaries the impact of increase/decrease of the Nifty 50 index on the Company''s equity and profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NSE nifty 50 equity index had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company''s equity instruments moved in line with the index.
The Company''s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders and debt includes borrowings and lease liabilities.
A Basis for segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company''s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments'' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Company has two reportable segments, as described below, which is the Company''s primary business segment. These business units are managed separately because they require different marketing strategies.

Defined contribution
The expense for defined contribution plans amounted to RS. 8.16 Mn and RS. 10.29 Mn for the year ended 31 March, 2018 and 31 March, 2017 respectively Out of these, RS. 9.72 Mn (31 March, 2017 RS. 9.4 Mn) pertains to provident / pension funds and H.0.21 Mn (31 March, 2017 RS. 0.23 Mn) pertains to superannuation fund plan.
Defined benefits - Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the company makes contributions to recognised funds in India.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as currency risk, interest risk and market (investment) risk.
The Company expects not to contribute to Gratuity Fund in the next year as the company has surplus balance Inherent risk
The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to the plan. In particular this exposes the Company to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to longevity risk.
The following tables analyse present value of defined benefit obligations, expense recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, actuarial assumptions and other information.
(IX) Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligations by the amounts shown below:
Dues to Micro and Small Enterprises have been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information collected by the Management. There are no dues unpaid to Micro and Small Enterprises as on 3IMarch, 2018 (Previous year 31 March, 2017)

The above is subject to approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company and hence not recognised as a liability
B. Measurement of fair values
i. Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, trade receivables, loans, investments in Debt instrument, borrowings, trade payables and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Companyâs loans have been contracted at market rates of interest. Accordingly, the carrying value of such loans approximate fair value.
Investments in equity instruments, which are classified as FVOCI are based on market price at the respective reporting date.
ii. Level 1 fair values
The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balance to the closing balance for Level I fair values.
C. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
Risk management framework
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities includes borrowings, trade payable and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations. The Companyâs principal financial assets include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets that derive directly from its operations.
The Companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Companyâs primary risk management focus is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance.The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The Companyâs risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.
The major part of companyâs profit is dependent upon the dividend income from a subsidary which is related to performance of the subsidiary and dividend distributable by them.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Companyâs receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade receivables and loans
As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provisions at each reporting date whenever is for longer period and involves higher risk. On account of adoption of Ind AS I09, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the credit loss allowance for trade receivables.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Companyâs finance team is responsible for liquidity funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Companyâs liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. Besides , it generally has certain undrawn credit facilities which can be accessed as and when required ; such credit facilities are reviewed at regular intervals. Thus , no liquidity risk is perceived at present.
The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs long term and short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
Sensitivity analysis
Fixed rate instruments that are carried at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk for the purpose of sensitive analysis.
A reasonably possible change of I00 basis points in variable rate instruments at the reporting dates would have increased or decreased profit or loss by the amounts shown below:
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined for borrowings assuming the amount of borrowings outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year
Equity risk
The Companyâs quoted equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Companyâs senior management on a regular basis.The senior management reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
Sensitivity analysis
Investment in equity instruments of the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India. The table below summaries the impact of increase/decrease of the Nifty 50 index on the Companyâs equity and profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NSE nifty 50 equity index had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Companyâs equity instruments moved in line with the index.
4. Capital management
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders and debt includes borrowings.
5. Explanation of Transition to IND AS
As stated in Note 2, the Company has prepared its first financial statements in accordance with Ind AS. For the year ended 3I March, 20I7, the Company had prepared its financial statements in accordance with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, notified under Section I33 of the Act and other relevant provisions of the Act (âprevious GAAPâ).
The accounting policies set out in Note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 3I March, 20I8 including the comparative information for the year ended 3I March, 20I7 and the opening Ind AS balance sheet on the date of transition i.e. I April 20I6.
In preparing its Ind AS balance sheet as at I April 20I6 and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended 3I March, 20I7, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP and how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
Optional exemptions availed and mandatory exceptions
In preparing the financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions.
A. Optional exemptions availed
(i) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
As per Ind AS I0I an entity may elect to:
(i) measure an item of property, plant and equipment at the date of transition at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date;
(ii) use a previous GAAP revaluation of an item of property plant and equipment at or before the date of transition as deemed cost at the date of revaluation, provided the revaluation was, at the date of revaluation, broadly comparable to:
- fair value
- or cost or depreciated cost under Ind AS adjusted to reflect.
The elections under (i) and (ii) above are also available for intangible assets that meets the recognition criteria in Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets, (including reliable measurement of original cost); and criteria in Ind AS 38 for revaluation (including the existence of an active market). The company has elected to measure certain items of property plant and equipment. At its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at the date of transition to Ind AS. Other items of property plant and equipment have been measured, as for Ind As I6.
(ii) Designation of previously recognised financial instruments
Ind AS I0I permits an entity to designate particular equity investments (other than equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements) as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) based on facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS (rather than at initial recognition). Other equity investments are classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The Company has opted to avail this exemption to designate certain equity investments as FVOCI on the date of transition i.e. I April 20I6 on the basis of facts and circumstances existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.
(iii) Business combinations
Ind AS I0I provides the option to apply Ind AS I03 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date.
The Company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated, accordingly Company has elected not to apply Ind-AS I03.
(iv) Investments in Subsidiaries and Associates
The Company has elected either the Indian GAAP carrying amount or fair value at the date of transition as deemed cost for its investment in each subsidiary and associates
(v) Cumulative translation difference
The Company has availed the option of not to adopt policy for maintaining Foreign currency monetary item translation difference (FCMITDA) account. The balance in FCMITD account on the date of transition has been transferred to retained earnings.
(vi) Fair value measurement of financial assets or liabilities at initial recognition
The Company has applied the requirements of Ind AS 109, âFinancial Instruments: Recognition and Measurementâ, wherever applicable.
B. Mandatory Exceptions
(a) Estimates
As per Ind AS 101, where application of Ind AS requires an entity to make certain estimates that were not required under previous GAAP those estimates should be made to reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition (for preparing opening Ind AS balance sheet) or at the end of the comparative period (for presenting comparative information as per Ind AS).
- Investment in equity instruments carried at FVPL or FVOCI.
- Investment in debt instruments carried at FVPL and,
- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
The Companyâs estimates under Ind AS are consistent with the above requirement.
(b) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.
Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of the financial assets accounted at amortised cost has been done retrospectively.
G. Notes to the reconciliations of equity as at 1 April 2016 and 31 March, 2017 and total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March, 2017
1) Borrowings
The Company recognised the transaction costs pertaining to the borrowings on a straight line basis over the term of the loan under IGAAP The unamortised portion of such cost was recognised as part of âPrepaid expenseâ which amounted to RS. 3.74 Mn on the date of transition to IND AS. As per IND AS I09, borrowings are measured at amortised cost and hence, unamortised portion of transaction costs has been adjusted against the amount of borrowings
2) Investments in Subsidiaries and Associate
The Company has availed the option to value investments in subsidiaries and associate as Ind As cost. The Ind As cost has been derived by impairing value of investment as on the date of transition to IND AS separate financial statements from previous GAAP under IGAAP the company has practice of providing provision on investment under permanent dimunision valuation method, on transition to Ind As management has decided to impair the investment based on the report provided from independent valuer
a) Further, on the transition date, Equity and other financial instruments in subsidiary company, has been impaired as per the Independent valuer report and adjusted against retained earnings of H400 Mn.
b) As per requirement of Ind As impairment test should be made at the end of each financial year Further based on the progress of Investee Companyâs provision will be adjusted accordingly by taking into account of the progress made by said companies going forward.
3) Discounting of financial asset
Under IGAAP the Company accounted for Security deposit and other receivable balances as Loans and advances measured at cost. Under IND AS, such balances are classified and measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. At the date of transition to IND AS, the difference between amortised cost and the IGAAP carrying amount has been recognised in other equity (net of related deferred tax).
4) Deferred tax
IGAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. IND AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred tax using balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. This has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary difference which was not required under IGAAP In addition, the various transitional adjustments leads to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other equity or a separate component of equity.
5) Provisions
Under IGAAP proposed dividends including dividend distribution tax (DDT) are recognised as liability in the period in which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under IND AS, a proposed dividend is recognised as a liability by the company in the period in which it is declared by the company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.
In case of the Company the declaration of dividend occurs after the period end. Therefore, the liability of RS. 87.72 Mn for the year ended on 31 March, 2016 recorded for dividend has been derecognised against other equity on I April, 2016. Proposed dividend amounting RS. 87.72 Mn which was derecognised as on the transition date. has been recognised in other equity during the year ended 31 March, 2017 as declared and paid.
6) Defined benefit liabilities
Both under IGAAP and IND AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under IGAAP the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to the statement of profit and loss. Under IND AS, remeasurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to other comprehensive income (OCI).
7) Trade Receivables
Under IGAAP the Company has created provisions for impairment of receivables which consist only in respect of specific amount for probable losses. Under IND AS 109, requires to recognise allowance on trade receivables and other financial assets of the company ,at an amount equal to the life time expected credit loss or the 12 months expected credit loss based on increase in credit risk. On transition date, impairment for trade receivables made as per Expected credit loss method (ECLM) is 168.9 Mn has been adjusted against retained earnings.
8) Financial Assets
Under IGAAP the Company accounted for long term investments in quoted and unquoted equity shares as investment measured at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of investments. Under IND AS, the company has designated certain investments as FVTOCI. At the date of transition to IND AS, difference between the instruments at fair value and IGAAP carrying amount has been recognised as a separate component of equity in the FVTOCI reserve, net of related deferred taxes. On 31 March, 2017 fair value on FVTOCI instruments has been routed through OCI.

as the Board of directors may deem fit.
In accordance with the Scheme

of Profit and Loss and adjusted against Special Reserve are not in
accordance with the Accounting Standard (AS) 13 ''Accounting for
Investments'' and Accounting Standard (AS) 5 ''Net Profit or Loss for
the year, prior period items and changes in accounting policies''. Had

would have reflected as follows:
3 On transfer of Express Distribution and Supply Chain and Shipping
businesses to separate subsidiaries in the year 2011-2012 , the primary
operating business of the Company sit in the Balance Sheet of the
Company as investments and became major source of income by way of
dividend.Accordingly, the Company has been advised that the dividend
income of Rs.175 Mn during the year from subsidiaries (previous period
Rs. 70 Mn), Net Profit of Rs NIL (previous period Rs. 16.80 Mn on sale
of land and Management Fees of Rs. 23.30 Mn during the year (Previous
period Rs.30 Mn) be considered as other operating income. This has no
impact on the profit of the year.
4 The company has made investment in Share Capital of Rs. 3.62 Million
and has other receivables of Rs. 14.76 Million (Previous period
Rs.14.76 Million) due from the subsidiary Zen Cargo Movers Pvt. Ltd.
The net worth of the subsidiary has fully eroded because of losses
suffered from year to year. The business of Zen Cargo is clearing
agency business and is very closely related to the freight forwarding
business of the parent company. The same is in the process of
stabilization. The subsidiary will continue to have the required
support from the holding company.The performance of the subsidiary is
expected to improve in the near future. Under the circumstances no
provision is considered necessary by the management at present for any
diminution in the value of investments and also in respect of possible
losses that may arise from other receivables from the subsidiary.
5 There are other amounts due from subsidiaries of Rs. 223.56 Mn
(previous period Rs.202.34 Mn) and from an Associate Rs.13.24 Mn
(previous period 13.22 Mn). The above includes Rs 190 Mn represented by
land acquired by a subsidiary. The management is confident of full

Million to a body corporate out of which Rs.17.5 Million was realised
during the year leaving a balance Rs 82.5 Million along with interest
receivable of Rs. 39 Milliion.The net worth of the body corporate has
fully eroded because of losses suffered from year to year. However, the
management is confident of full recovery of the balances due and
interest receivable and therefore no provision is considered necessary
for any possible losses that may arise in this behalf.
7 During the year the company sold 12,10,000 equity shares (12.09%) in
Gati Ship Ltd. For Rs. 3.02 Mn. Consequently Gati Ship Ltd. ceased to
be a subsidiary from May 16, 2014 and is now an associate. Gati Ship
Limited has since closed it''s operations.
8 During the year, in compliance with the requirements of Schedule II
of the Companies Act 2013 effective 1st April 2014, the company has
revised useful life of its fixed assets. In case of asset whose useful
life has expired as on 31st March 2014 the carrying value (net of
deferred tax of Rs. 1.52 Mn) of the assets amounting to Rs. 2.95 Mn has
been adjusted with the opening balance of retained earnings.
Accordingly depreciation for the year is higher by Rs. 14.47 Mn and the
profit after Tax is lower by the same amount.
9 Pursuant to the notification issued by the Ministry of Corporate
Affairs dated 29th December 2011 on Accounting Standard 11, the company
has opted to adjust the carrying cost of depreciable fixed assets/ to
amortize the exchange differences on the Long term Foreign Currency
Monetary Items over their tenure. Accordingly as on March 31,2015
Rs.113.97 Mn has been carried forward in the "Foreign Exchange
Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" (FCMITDA). Consequently
the net profit is lower by Rs.11.73 Mn for the year ended 31st March
2015.
10 Loans and Advances includes Rs.265.98 Mn due from Air India Limited.
The matter was referred to arbitration of the Arbitral Tribunal
appointed by the parties. The Arbitral tribunal passed an Award dated
17th September 2013, whereby, it has, inter alia, directed Air India
Limited to pay an amount of Rs.268.20 Mn to the Company and to pay
interest @18% per annum on the awarded amount. Air India has preferred
an application before the Hon''ble Delhi High Court seeking setting
aside of the Award and the matter is pending disposal. In the
circumstances, the dues from Air India Limited included in Loans and
Advances, are considered good for recovery by the management.
11 In veiw of the various deductions admissible under the Income-tax
Act, no liability for current tax is estimated for the year. Provision
for Deferred tax liability for the year has been made.
12 The Board of Directors of the company has allotted 1,17,450 equity
shares on exercise of options by the employees under the employee stock
option scheme and 96,000 equity shares to Non-Executive Directors at a
premium of Rs.26 per share. Consequently the Equity Share Capital of
the company increased from 8,72,64,087 equity shares of Rs 2/- each to
equity shares 8,74,77,537 of Rs 2/- each during the year.
13 In response to company''s application to Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
seeking permission for part repurchase of FCCBs, RBI vide its letter
dated 27th September, 2013 accorded permission while stating that the
Company was not eligible borrower under the automatic route and the
borrowing be treated as a Foreign Debt. The Company was levied a
compounding fee of Rs. 29.59 Mn, which the Company has deposited during
the year and is disclosed as an exceptional item in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.
14 The company is awaiting clarification from the Reserve Bank of India
on various matters pertaining to Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds
issued by the company. In the meanwhile the trustee of the bond holders
has filed a civil suit in the Secunderabad Court for specific
performance, which the company is contesting on various grounds. The
matter is subjudice.
