Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property plant and equipment.
Depreciation on property plant and equipment acquired / capitalized on or before 31st March, 2007 is provided using written down value (WDV) method and thereafter assets acquired / capitalized is provided using straight line method (SLM). Depreciation on property plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis, based on the useful life as per Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in Schedule II.

A summary of amortization policies applied to the companies intangible assets to the extent of depreciable amount is, as follows;
d) Investment Property
Property that is held for long-term rental yield or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction cost and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
The company adopt the cost model as its accounting policy to measure all of its investment property, The fair value model is not allowed but only disclosure of fair value of investment property is required even though the cost model is followed. Investment properties are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have useful lives of 30 years except lease hold property which is depreciated over its period of lease.
e) Foreign currency transaction
i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (âthe functional currencyâ). The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is companyâs functional and presentation currency.
ii) Translations and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).
Exchange difference arising on reporting / settlement of long term foreign currency monetary items (other than depreciable non-current assets) at rates different from those at which they are initially recorded during the period which were earlier being recognised in the statement of profit & loss are now being accumulated in âForeign Exchange transaction Reserveâ and would be accounted for in the statement of profit & loss in the year in which transaction is complete.
f) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of service taxes and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognized on the basis of rendering of services to customers in accordance with the respective Contracts / Agreements.
Interest income
Interest income from loans / debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
g) Income Tax Current Tax:
Provision for Taxation is ascertained on the basis of assessable profit computed in accordance with the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 & tax advices, wherever considered necessary.
Deferred Tax:
Deferred Tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence, as the tax effect of timing difference between the taxable income & accounting income computed for the current accounting year and reversal of earlier yearsâ timing difference. Deferred Tax Assets are recognised and carried forward to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty, except arising from unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses, which are recognised to the extent that there is virtual certainty, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
h) Leases
Offices Premises taken on lease under which, all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating lease are recognized as expense on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements.
i) Impairment of Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount.
j) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
k) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at carrying value and subsequently re-measured at amount that would actually be received.
l) Inventories
Stores, Spares and other items required for operation are treated as consumed as and when sent to Drilling Rig. Stocks in hand are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower Cost in respect of Stores & Spares is determined on FIFO basis.
m) Investments and other financial assets Classification
The company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- Those measured at amortised cost.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. If financial asset not measured at fair value, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset will be added to cost of financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Equity instruments
The company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the companyâs management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the companyâs right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Impairment of financial assets
The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when
- The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the company has transferred an asset, the company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
A financial liability except derivative financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. All changes in the fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Cash flow hedge
The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve being part of other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the underlying transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
De-recognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Companyâs Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their carrying value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
o) Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of the cost of asset up to the date when such asset is ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Liabilities which are material, and whose future outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty, are treated as contingent, and disclosed by way of notes to the accounts.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statement. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
q) Employee Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.
Post-Employment Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans

The Companyâs contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service. Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme, if any is charged as expenses as they fall due.

The gratuity liability amount is contributed to the approved scheme of LIC formed exclusively for gratuity payment to the employees. The gratuity fund has been approved by respective IT authorities.
The liability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employeesâ services.
Re-measurement of defined benefit plans in respect of post-employment are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income.
r) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s) Claims Recoverable
The claims in respect of fixed assets lost during the process of drilling (lost in hole) are recognised on the basis of invoices raised and correspondingly the depreciated value of the fixed assets lost in hole is charged off. Any deductions made from the claims raised are recognised on receipt of intimation in respect of the same.
t) Prepaid Expenses
