2.01 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical
cost convention on an accrual basis in compliance
with all material aspects of the Accounting Standards
(AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act
2013, read together with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules 2014. The accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of financial statements
have been consistently applied except where a newly
issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a
revision to an existing accounting standard requires a
change in the accounting policy until now (hitherto)
in use with those of previous year. The financial
statements have been authorized to be issued by the
Board of Directors of the Company in the meeting held
on May 24, 2025.

"All assets and liabilities have been classified as current
or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating
cycle, and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to
the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of
business and the time between the acquisition of
assets for processing and their realization in cash
and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained
its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose
of current or non-current classification of assets
and liabilities. "

2.02 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the
management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting
period. Although, these estimates are based on the
management''s best knowledge of current events
and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions
and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets or liabilities in future periods.

2.03 Property, Plant and Equipment
Tangible assets

"Tangible assets, capital work in progress are stated
at cost, less accumulated depreciation, revaluation
and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the
purchase price, borrowing costs, if capitalization
criteria are met and any cost attributable to bringing
the assets to its working condition for its intended
use which includes taxes, freight, and installation and
allocated incidental expenditure during construction/
acquisition and exclusive Input tax credit (IGST/CGST
and SGST) or other tax credit available to the Company.
When parts of an item of tangible assets have different
useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to tangible assets
is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an
increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond
its previously assessed standard of performance.
Any item of Property, Plant and Equipment is
derecognized on disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. The gain or loss arising on derecognition
is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Any item of Property, Plant and Equipment whose
value is less than '' 5000 is being charged off to Profit
and Loss Account"

Intangible assets

"An intangible asset is recognized when it is probable
that the future economic benefits attributable to the
asset will flow to the enterprise and where its cost
can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are stated
at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization
and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the
purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing

the assets to its working condition for its intended
use which includes taxes, freight, and installation and
allocated incidental expenditure during development /
acquisition and exclusive of Input tax credit (IGST/CGST
and SGST) or other tax credit available to the Company.
Subsequent expenditure relating to intangible assets
is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an
increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond
its previously assessed standard of performance.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or
disposal of an intangible asset are determined as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and
recognized as income or expense in the Statement of
Profit and Loss."

and equipment. The Company uses Straight Line
Methods and has used following useful lives to provide
depreciation of different class of its property, plant
and equipment and Intangible assets.

that of the remaining asset. (Component Accounting)
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their
estimated useful life, or the remaining period of lease
from the date of capitalization, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation on addition to tangible assets is provided
on pro-rata basis from the date the assets are ready for
intended use.Depreciation onsale/discard from tangible
assets is provided for upto the date of sale, deduction
or discard of tangible assets as the case may be.
The useful life, residual value and the depreciation
method are reviewed atleast at each year end. If
the expectations differ from previous estimates, the
changes are accounted for prospectively as a change
in accounting estimate."

2.05 Amortization of Intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets has been calculated
on straight line basis at the following rates, based on
management estimates, which in the opinion of the
management are reflective of the estimated useful
lives of the Intangible assets.

"The depreciation charge for each year is recognized
in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless it is
included in the carrying amount of any other asset.
The Company has adopted Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 which requires identification and
determination of separate useful life for each major
component of the property, plant and equipment, if
they have useful life that is materially different from

is provided on pro-rata basis from the date the
assets are ready for intended use. Amortization
on sale/discard from intangible assets is
provided for upto the date of sale, deduction or
discard of intangible assets as the case may be.

previous estimates, the amortization period is
changed accordingly."

2.06 Impairment of Assets

"The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at
each balance sheet date if there is any indication of
impairment based on internal/external factors. An
impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
After impairment, depreciation/amortization is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset
over its remaining useful life"

acquisition, construction or production of an asset
that takes a substantial period of time to get ready
for its intended use or sale are capitalized until such
time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are
recognized as expenditure in the period in which they
are incurred."

2.08 Investment

"Investments, which are readily realizable and
intended to be held for not more than one year
from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are
measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase
price and directly attributable acquisition

charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.

denominated in a foreign currency are reported using
the exchange rates that existed when such values
were determined.

average basis. Cost includes purchase price, (excluding
those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from
the concerned revenue authorities), freight inwards
and other expenditure incurred in bringing such
inventories to their present location and condition.
Work in progress and manufactured finished goods are

other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to
their present location and condition. Cost of traded

goods is determined on a weighted average basis.
Provision of obsolescence on inventories is considered
on the basis of management''s estimate based on
demand and market of the inventories."

realizable value is made on item by item basis.

2.14 Income Taxes

the book and tax profits for the year is accounted
for, using the tax rates and laws that have been
substantively enacted as of the reporting date.
Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects
of timing differences between accounting income and
taxable income for the period. The deferred tax charge
or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities
or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance
sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized
only to the extent there is reasonable certainty
that the assets can be realized in future; however,
where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry
forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized
only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of
such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and are written-down or
written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/
virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized.
At each reporting date, the Company reassesses the
unrecognized deferred tax assets, if any."

2.15 As a Lessee:

Finance leases, which effectively transfers to the
Company substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased item, are
capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the
lower of the fair value of the leased property and
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between the finance

charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized
as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and
Loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and
other initial direct costs of lease are capitalized.
A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis

II to the Companies Act, 2013, whichever is lower).
However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the
Company will obtain the ownership by the end of the
lease term, the capitalized asset is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated
useful life of the asset (the lease term or the useful life
envisaged in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013).

substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership
of the leased item, are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term."

“As a Lessor:

Leases in which the Company transfers substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are
classified as finance leases. Assets given under finance
lease are recognized as a receivable at an amount
equal to the net investment in the lease. After initial
recognition, the Company apportions lease rentals
between the principal repayment and interest income
so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of return
on the net investment outstanding in respect of the
finance lease. The interest income is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs such
as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Leases in which the Company does not transfer
substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership
of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets
subject to operating leases are included in property,
plant and equipment assets. Lease income on an
operating lease is recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. Costs, including depreciation, are recognized as

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a Lessor:

Leases in which the Company transfers substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as finance leases. Assets given under finance lease are recognized as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. After initial recognition, the Company apportions lease rentals between the principal repayment and interest income so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the finance lease. The interest income is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation, are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.16 Contingent Liability, Provisions and Contingent Asset

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that

probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.

The Company records a provision for decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities that are recognized as cost of property, plant and equipment. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets are neither recorded nor disclosed in the financial statements.

2.17 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

The weighted average numbers of equity shares are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the rights issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.18 Government Grants and Subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that (i) the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and (ii) the grant/subsidy will be received.

When the grant or subsidy related to revenue, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate. Where the grant is related to an asset, it is adjusted with the gross value of assets.

When the Company receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a non-monetary asset is given free of cost, it is recognized at a nominal value.

2.19 Segment Reporting

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for the Company. The Company''s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.

Further, inter-segment revenue have been accounted for based on the transaction price agreed to between segments which is primarily market based.

Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items, which are not allocated to any business segment.

2.20 Rounding off
