1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 (as amended) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013(the Act) and other relevant provision of the Act. The financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the relevant presentation requirements of the Companies Act, 2013. The Company adopted IND AS from 01st April, 2017. Up to the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with requirements of previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended). These are the Company''s first IND AS financial statements. The date of transition to IND AS is 01st April, 2016. Details of the exceptions and optional exemptions availed by the Company and principle adjustments along with related reconciliations are detailed in Note 42 (First-time Adoption of IND AS).

b. Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest two decimals of lakh, unless otherwise indicated.

c. Historical Cost Convention

The financial statements have been prepared following accrual basis of accounting on a historical cost basis, except for the following which are measured at fair value :

(i) Certain financial assets and liabilities

(ii) Defined benefit plans

(ii) Property, Plant & Equipment

d. Fair Value Measurement

A number of Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require fair value measurement for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement, as under:

(i) Level I - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

(ii) Level II - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

(iii) Level III - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement, at the end of each reporting period.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company''s accounting policies. For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

e. Current Versus Non-Current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset or liability is treated as current if it satisfies any of the following condition :

(i) the asset/liability is expected to be realised/settled in normal operating cycle;

(ii) the asset is intended for sale or consumption;

(iii) the asset/liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

(iv) the asset/liability is expected to be realised/settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

(v) the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period;

(vi) in the case of a liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period;

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

f. Use of Estimates and Judgements

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the accompanying disclosures and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The revisions in accounting estimates and assumptions are recognised prospectively. Detailed information about estimates and judgements is included in Note 41.

2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT - OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The company''s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables, other financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s financial assets include investments, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and loans. The Company is exposed to market risk and credit risk.

The Company has a Risk management policy. The Board of Directors provides assurance that the Company''s risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include FVTOCI investments and FVTPL investments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a foreign currency exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities which is minimal. The Company monitors the foreign exchange fluctuations on continuous basis and advises the management of any material adverse effect on the Company and for taking risk mitigation measures. Since the Company''s foreign currency risk exposure is limited, therefore detailed dislcosure of the same has not been provided.

Equity Price Risks

The Company''s listed and non-listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Company manages the equity price risk through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments/mutual funds. Reports on the investment portfolio are submitted to the Company''s management on a regular basis.

Credit Risks

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables).

Trade Receivables

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for all the customers. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous group and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on credit losses of historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables disclosed as the Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company has evaluated the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company''s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial asset and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The table below analysis financial liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity Companyings based on the remaining period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amount disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flow.

3 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to :

- Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the 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.

Judgements

In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Equity Investments measured at FVTOCI

The company has exercised the option to measure investment in equity instruments, not held for trading at FVTOCI in accordance with Ind AS 109. It has exercised this irrevocable option for its class of quoted equity shares. The option renders the equity instruments elected to be measured at FVTOCI non-recyclabe to Profit & Loss.

Business Model for Investment of Debt Instruments

For the purpose of measuring investments in debt instruments in accordance with Ind AS 109, the company has evaluated and determined that the business model for investments in quoted debentures and bonds is to collect the contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset. Such financial assets have been accordingly classified and measured at FVTOCI. For the purpose of measuring investments in debt instruments in accordance with Ind AS 109, the company has evaluated and determined that the business model for investments in unquoted debentures and bonds is only to collect the contractual cash flows. Such financial assets have been accordingly classified and measured at amortised cost.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Defined benefit plans

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. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. 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. Further details about gratuiy obligations are given in Note No. 44.4.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

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 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 No 38.

Depreciation / amortization and useful lives of property, plant and equipment / intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment / intangible assets are depreciated / amortized over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company''s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation / amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

Impairment of non-financial asset

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or Cash Generating Units (CGU''s) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Determination of the recoverable amount involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters, such as commodity prices and their impact on markets and prices for upgraded products, development in demand, inflation, operating expenses and tax and legal systems. The Company uses internal business plans, quoted market prices and the Company''s best estimate of commodity prices, currency rates, discount rates and other relevant information. A detailed forecast is developed for a period of three to five years with projections thereafter. The Company does not include a general growth factor to volumes or cash fiows for the purpose of impairment tests, however, cash fiows are generally increased by expected inflation and market recovery towards previously observed volumes is considered.

Taxes

The Company calculates income tax expense based on reported income. Deferred income tax expense is calculated based on the differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax basis that are considered temporary in nature. Valuation of deferred tax assets is dependent on management''s assessment of future recoverability of the deferred benefit. Expected recoverability may result from expected taxable income in the future, planned transactions or planned tax optimizing measures. Economic conditions may change and lead to a different conclusion regarding recoverability.

5 FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS

These financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018, are the first the company has prepared in accordance with IND AS.

Accordingly, the company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for periods ending on 31st March 2018, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended 31st March 2017, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the company''s opening balance sheet was prepared as at 1st April 2016, the company''s date of transition to Ind AS."

Exemptions applied

The company has elected to measure all items of land and site development, leashold land and site development, buildings and plant and equipment at fair value at the date of transition to Ind AS. For the purpose of measurement upon transition the company regards the fair value as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., 01st April 2016.

Under IND AS 109, at initial recognition of a financial asset, an entity may make an irrecovable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in Equity Shares in other comprehensive income. IND AS 101 allows such designation of previously recognized financial asstes, as FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to IND AS.

Accordingly, the company has designated its investments in equity shares (except Kesoram Textile Mills Ltd. and Tata Motors DVR) at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to IND AS.

The Company has designated investments (other than above) held at 01st April, 2016 at fair value through profit & loss or at amortized cost on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to IND AS.

Reconciliation between previous GAAP and Ind AS

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

1. Reconciliation of total equity as at 31st March, 2017 and 01st April, 2016

Footnotes to the reconciliation of equity at April 01,2016 and March 31,2017 and Profit or Loss for the Year ended March 31, 2017

This note explains the principal adjustments made by the company in restating its Indian GAAP consolidated Financial statements, including the balance sheet as at April 01, 2016 and the Financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Note No. 1 Investment at fair Value (FVTOCI and FVTPL Financial Assets)

a) Under Indian GAAP, the company accounted for Non-Current Investment in Venture Capital Fund/Alternative Investment Fund, Mutual Fund, Preference shares and debendtures/bond as investment measured at cost and provision was made to recognise the decline, other than temporary in valuation of investment. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated such investments as FVTPL investments. Ind AS requires FVTPL investments to be measured at fair value. At the date of transition to Ind AS and as on 31 March 2017, difference between the instrument''s fair value and Indian GAAP carrying amount has been recognised in the profit & loss net of related deferred taxes.

b) Under Indian GAAP, the company accounted for Non-Current Investment in equity shares was measured at cost and provision was made to recognise the decline, other than temporary in valuation of investment. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated such investments as FVOCI investments. Ind AS requires FVTOCI investments to be measured at fair value. At the date of transition to Ind AS and as on 31 March 2017, difference between the instrument''s fair value and Indian GAAP carrying amount has been recognised in the OCI net of related deferred taxes.

Note No. 2 Deferred Tax

Indian GAAP 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 taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences be tween the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.

Note No. 3 Re-classifications

The Company has made following reclassification as per the requirements of Ind-AS :

i. Assets / liabilities which do not meet the definition of financial asset / financial liability have been reclassified to other asset / liability.

iii. Under Previous GAAP revenue from sale was shown net of excise duty, whereas under Ind AS this includes excise duty.

Note No. 4 Other Comprehensive Income

Under Indian GAAP, the Company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled Indian GAAP profit or loss to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Indian GAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

**The Management feels that the Company has a good chance of success in above mentioned cases hence no provision there against is considered necessary.
