2. Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis for Preparation of Accounts
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended thereafter.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on accrual basis and under historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:
- Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments)
- Derivative Financial Instruments
In addition, the Financial Statements are presented in Rupee (Rs,) / (Rs.) which is also the Company''s functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakh (Rs. 00,000), except when otherwise indicated.
2.2 Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
The preparation of the Companyâs Financial Statements requires management to make 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.
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.
Taxes:
There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which the tax determination is made. The assessment of probability involves estimation of a number of factors including future taxable income.
Defined Benefit Plans (Gratuity Benefits)
A liability in respect of defined benefit plans is recognised in the balance sheet, and is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the planâs assets. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from the fund at the reporting date, calculated annually by independent actuaries. Consideration is given to expected future salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Refer Note 38 for details of the key assumptions used in determining the accounting for these plans.
Useful economic lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment as disclosed in Note 3 are depreciated over their useful economic lives. Management reviews the useful economic lives at least once a year and any changes could affect the depreciation rates prospectively and hence the asset carrying values.
Intangible Assets
Intangible development costs are capitalised as and when technical and commercial feasibility of the asset is demonstrated and approved by authorities, future economic benefits are probable. The costs which can be capitalised include those expenses that are directly attributable to development of the asset. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Refer Note 2.3 (f) for the estimated useful life of Intangible assets. The carrying value of Intangible assets has been disclosed in Note 3.3.
Impairment of Non- Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share price for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.
2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Current Non-Current classification:
The Company presents Assets and Liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based on Current/ Noncurrent classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
A liability is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other Assets and Liabilities are classified as Non-Current Assets and Liabilities. 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 realization in Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
b. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment, including excise duty and excluding other taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
Based on the Ind AS 18 "Revenue" issued by the ICAI, the Company has assumed that the recovery of excise duty flows to the company on its own account. This is for the reason that it is a liability of the manufacturer which forms a part of the cost of production, irrespective of whether the goods are sold or not. Since the recovery of excise duty flows to the company on its own account, revenue includes excise duty.
However, Sales Tax/ Value Added Tax (VAT)/ Goods and Service Tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on valued added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
1) Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on the delivery of goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances and rebates. It includes excise duty and excludes value added tax/ sales tax.
2) Interest Income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recorded using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR). The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the Statement of Profit or Loss
3) Export Incentives
Export incentives under various schemes notified by government are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same and is included in revenue in the statement of Profit and Loss due to its operating nature.
4) Dividend
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
5) Insurance Claims
Claims receivable on account of insurance are accounted for to the extent the Company is virtually certain of their ultimate collection.
6) Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted on the basis of lease terms and is included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c. Foreign Currencies
The Companyâs Financial Statements are presented in INR, which is also the Companyâs functional currency. Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in Profit or Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or statement of Profit or Loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
d. Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures certain Financial Instruments at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.
Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fair Value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The Fair Value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A Fair Value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participantâs ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participants that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
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 minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as under, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
- Level 3 - 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 as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Company''s management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations. The management comprises of the Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Finance Officer (CFO).
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the board of directors after discussion with and approval by the management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. Valuers are normally rotated every three years. The management decides, after discussions with the Company''s external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
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 Companyâs 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.
The management, in conjunction with the Company''s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
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.
This Note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes. Refer note 42.
- Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions.
- Quantitative disclosures of Fair Value measurement hierarchy.
- Investment in Equity Shares.
- Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost).
e. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Capital Work in Progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When significant parts of Plant and Equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Capital Work-in-Progress comprises cost of fixed assets that are not yet installed and ready for their intended use at the balance sheet date.
Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories.
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation is calculated on a Straight-Line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except for Plant and Machinery pertaining to power generating units which are based on independent technical evaluation, life has been estimated as 20 years (on single shift basis) which is different from that prescribed in Schedule II of the Act.. Depreciation is not provided on freehold land. Leasehold land is amortized over the available balance lease period. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the item of Property, Plant and Equipment. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
f. Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, Intangible Assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost include acquisition and other incidental cost related to acquiring the intangible asset. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible development costs are capitalised as and when technical and commercial feasibility of the asset is demonstrated and approved by authorities, future economic benefits are probable.
The useful lives of Intangible Assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Gains or Losses arising from de-recognition of an Intangible Asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Research and Development Costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
- How the asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the asset
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Intangible Assets are amortised over a period of 5 years.
g. IMPAIRMENT OF NON- FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or Cash-Generating unitâs (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When 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.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future Cash Flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Companyâs CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future Cash Flows after the fifth year.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.
h. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT
A Financial Instrument is any contract that gives rise to a Financial Asset of one entity and a Financial Liability or Equity Instrument of another Entity.
(A) Financial Asset
Initial Recognition and Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a Financial Asset or Financial Liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a Financial Asset or Financial Liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the Financial Asset or Financial Liability.
Debt Instruments at Amortised Cost
A ''debt instrument'' is measured at its amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual Cash Flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and feesor costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in other income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Debt Instrument at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A ''debt Instrument'' is classified at FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual Cash Flows and selling the Financial Assets, and
b) The asset''s contractual Cash Flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the Equity to Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Debt Instrument at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL.
In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ''accounting mismatch''). The Company has designated certain Debt Instrument as at FVTPL.
Debt Instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Investments
All Equity Investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTOCI. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in Other Comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by Instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
De-Recognition
A Financial Asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s Balance Sheet) when:
The rights to receive Cash Flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive Cash Flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received Cash Flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive Cash Flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred Asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the company also recognises an associated Liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial Assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., Loans, Debt Securities, Deposits, Trade Receivables and Bank Balance
b) Trade Receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another Financial Asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18 (referred to as ''contractual revenue receivables'' in these financial statements)
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
- Trade receivables
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
ECL is the difference between all contractual Cash Flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the Cash Flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
- Cash Flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
- Financial Assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
(B) 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, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of Loans and Borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Companyâs financial liabilities include Trade and Other Payables, Loans and Borrowings.
Subsequent measurement of Financial Liabilities
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified a
as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Loan and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liability for good 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 fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, full currency swaps and interest rate swaps contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as Financial Assets when the fair value is positive and as Financial Liabilities when the fair value is negative.
De-Recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
i. INVENTORIES
Stores and Spares, Packing Materials and Raw Materials are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value and for this purpose, cost is determined on moving weighted average basis. However, the aforesaid items are not valued below cost if the Finished Products in which they are to be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Semi-Finished Products, Finished Products and By-Products are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value and for this purpose, cost is determined on standard cost basis which approximates the actual cost. Cost of Finished Goods includes excise duty, as applicable. Variances, exclusive of abnormally low volume and operating performance, are adjusted to inventory.
Traded Goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. j. BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
K. RETIREMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme established under a State Plan. The contributions to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year when employee rendered related services. The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on post-employment at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service as per the rules of the Company. The aforesaid liability is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of the financial year. The scheme is funded with an insurance Company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The Company has other long-term employee benefits in the nature of leave encashment. The liability in respect of leave encashment is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of the financial year. The aforesaid leave encashment is funded with an insurance Company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in the net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising of current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
Liabilities for wages, salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are to be settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet. l. ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES ON INCOME
Tax expense comprises of Current Income Tax and Deferred Tax Current Income Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in Other comprehensive Income or in Equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred Tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred Tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
- When the Deferred Tax Asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised Deferred Tax Assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the Deferred Tax Asset to be recovered.
Deferred Tax Assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred Tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the Deferred Tax relates to the same taxable entity and the same taxable authority.
m. PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
n. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonâoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent assets is not recognised unless it becomes virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. When an inflow of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
o. LEASES
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Company as a Lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between 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 recognised in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Companyâs general policy on the borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as a Lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Leases are classified as Finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Companyâs net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease. p. EARNING PER SHARE Basic 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.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
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 shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. q. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise Cash at Banks and on hand and Short-Term Deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. . For the purpose of the statement of Cash Flows, Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of Cash and Short-Term Deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management. . r. DIVIDEND
The Company recognises a liability for dividends to equity holders of the Company when the dividend is authorised and the dividend is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the Corporate laws in India, a dividend is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity. s. SEGMENT REPORTING
Based on "Management Approach" as defined in Ind AS 108 -Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company''s performance and allocates the resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Inter segment sales and transfers are reflected at market prices.
Unallocable items includes general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Company as a whole. Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on an appropriate basis. t. STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
Ind AS 115 was issued on 28 March 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the partial retrospective method.

(ii) The cost of self-constructed assets includes cost of materials plus any other directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to working condition for its intended use.
(iii) Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognized 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.
(iv) An item of Property, Plant or Equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
(v) Items of fixed assets that are retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are presented separately in the Financial Statements. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its Property, Plant and Equipment recognized as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the IGAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment. Hence regarded thereafter as historical cost.
1.6 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible Assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment Losses.
lnternally-generated intangible assets - Research and Development expenditure
Assessment of whether an internally generated Intangible Asset meets the criteria for recognition, the expenditure on generation of the asset is classified into research phase and development phase. Expenses incurred during research phase are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Expenditure during the development phase is recognized as an Intangible Asset under development on fulfillment of following conditions:-
- The technical feasibility of completing the Intangible Asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
- The intention to complete the Intangible Asset and use or sell it;
- The ability to use or sell the Intangible Asset;
- The Intangible Asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
- The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the Intangible Asset; and
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the Intangible Asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated Intangible Assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it is incurred
Derecognition of Intangible Assets
An Intangible Asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets recognized as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the IGAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the intangible assets
1.7 IMPAIRMENT OF NON- FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or Cash-Generating Unitâs (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When 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.
1.8 DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION
Depreciation is calculated to systematically allocate the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Asset net of the estimated residual values over the estimated useful life. Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation is computed using Straight Line Method (SLM) over the useful lives of the assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, except for Plant and Machinery pertaining to power generating units which are based on independent technical evaluation, life has been estimated as 20 years (on single shift basis) which is different from that prescribed in schedule II of the Act.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the item of Property, Plant and Equipment. The asset''s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Useful lives of the items of Property, Plant and Equipment are as follows:
Intangible Assets are amortized over their individual estimated useful lives on a Straight Line basis, commencing from the year in which the same are available to the Company for its intended use. The useful life so determined is as follows:
Depreciation on items of Property, Plant and Equipment acquired / disposed off during the year is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition / disposal.
Depreciation is not provided on Freehold Land. Leasehold land is amortized over the available balance lease period.
1.9 NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Assets and Liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of Financial Asset or Financial Liability.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial Assets at Amortized cost
Financial Assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual Cash Flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets.
The Company has made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments not held for trading in Other Comprehensive Income.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial Assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Liabilities
Financial Liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Equity Investment
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Group makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
Loan and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liability for good 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 recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives and Hedging activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, to hedge its interest rate and foreign currency risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair values on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The fair values of all such derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the Balance Sheet date. Such derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools only and not for speculative purposes.
Accordingly, the resultant gains and losses on fair valuation/ settlement of the derivative contracts covered under Ind AS 109 are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge effectiveness. Where the cash flow hedge is effective, the gains or losses are recognized in the âHedge Reserveâ which forms part of âOther Equityâ in the Balance Sheet, while the same is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss where the hedge is ineffective. The amount recognized in the âHedge Reserveâ is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For derivative financial instruments designated as Fair Value hedges, the fair value of both the derivative financial instrument and the hedged item are recognized as the Profit or Loss till the period the relationship is found to be effective. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective or it becomes probable that the expected transaction will no longer occur, future gains or losses on the derivative financial instruments are recognized in Profit and Loss.
If no hedging relationship is designated, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments is marked to market through in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in financial statements if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
I. Investments in Subsidiaries
A Subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
The Company accounts for the each category of investments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27-Separate Financial Statements.
II. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in other gains/ (losses).
III. Impairment
Financial Assets (other than at fair value)
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVTOCI 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 recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.
1.10 INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of Raw Material is determined on a monthly moving weighted average basis.
Stores and Consumables are valued at cost (net of CENVAT) or net realizable value whichever is lower.
Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. Cost comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct labour costs, those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and excise duty payable on finished goods.
For finished goods of Special Economic Zone (SEZs) where prima facie finished goods of SEZs are meant for export and no excise duty is leviable, therefore no excise duty is added in finished goods valuation. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Work in Progress is valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is less. Cost comprises direct materials and appropriate portion of direct labour costs, manufacturing overheads and depreciation.
1.11 BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing Costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets, wherever applicable, till the assets are ready for their intended use. Such capitalization is done only when it is probable that the asset will result in future economic benefits and the costs can be measured reliably. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when all the following conditions are satisfied:
i. Expenditure for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is being incurred;
ii. Borrowing costs are being incurred; and
iii. Activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress.
A qualifying asset is one which necessarily takes substantial period to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue account. Capitalization of borrowing cost is suspended when active development is interrupted
1.12 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
i. Short term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities for wages, salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognized in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are to be settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
ii. Other long term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yield at the end of reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of related obligation. Remeasurement as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the other comprehensive income.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the Company does not have unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
iii. Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
A. Defined benefit plans such as Gratuity; and
B. Defined contribution plan such as Provident Fund
Gratuity Obligations
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendment or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered funds as per the local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payment is available.
1.13 EXCISE DUTY
Excise duty (including Education Cess) on Finished Goods are shown separately in Manufacturing and Other Expenses and included in the valuation of Finished Goods.
1.14 CENVAT
CENVAT Credit of Raw Materials and Other Consumables is accounted at the time of purchase and the same is being adjusted to the cost of Raw Materials and Other Consumables.
1.15 ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES ON INCOME
Income Taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period i.e. as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended from time to time. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on the rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary difference arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in standalone financial statements. Deferred tax amounts of income taxes recoverable in future periods in respect of deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax losses and the carry forward of unused tax credits.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred Tax Assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and Deferred Tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Any tax credit including MAT credit available is recognized as Deferred Tax to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized. The said asset is created by way of credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown under the head deferred tax asset.
The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the Deferred Tax Asset to be utilized. Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
1.16 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of managementâs best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Contingent Liability is disclosed in the case of:
i. A present obligation arising from the past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
ii. A present obligation arising from the past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
iii. A possible obligation arising from the past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not provided for and if material, are disclosed by way of notes to accounts. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements. However, the same is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
1.17 LEASES
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Lessee. Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Lessor are classified as operating leases.
(i) Operating Lease:
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from leased assets are consumed. The aggregate benefit of incentives (excluding inflationary increases where rentals are structured solely to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the Lessorâs inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognized in the year in which the benefits accrue) provided by the Lessor is recognized as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(ii) Finance Lease:
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the Lessor is included in the Balance Sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognized immediately in Statement of Profit or Loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Companyâs general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
1.18 EARNING PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the company''s earnings per share is the net profit for the period after deducting preference dividends, if any, and any attributable distribution tax thereto for the period.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted Earnings Per Share adjusts 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
1.19 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise cash and deposits with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be 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 and 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.
1.20 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Cash Flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing Cash Flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Amendment to Ind AS 7:
The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and noncash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.
The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated.
1.21 DIVIDEND
The Company recognizes a liability for dividends to equity holders of the Company when the dividend is authorized and the dividend is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a dividend is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.
1.22 ROUNDING OFF
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest rupees, unless otherwise stated.
1.23 SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
1.24 EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Adjusting events (that provides evidence of condition that existed at the balance sheet date) occurring after the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Material non adjusting events (that are inductive of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occurring after the balance sheet date that represents material change and commitment affecting the financial position are disclosed in the Directorsâ Report.
1.25 EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statements.

Companies Act, 2013.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company.
1.2 USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the results of operations during the
reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual
results could differ from these estimates.
1.3 REVENUE RECOGNITION

1.4 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(i) Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Indian Rupees
using the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the
transactions. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary balance are
reported in Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing at the

gains and losses are dealt with in the profit and loss account.
(ii) In order to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from
Export or Import foreign currency, bank borrowings and trade
receivables, the Company enters into forward contracts. In case of
forward exchange contracts, the cost of the contracts is amortised over
the period of the contract. Any profit or loss arising on the
cancellation or renewal of a forward exchange contract is recognised as
income or expenses for the year.
(iii) Exchange difference is calculated as the difference between the
foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate
at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is
settled during the reporting period and the corresponding foreign
currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the
forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange
differences are recognized in the profit and loss account in the
reporting period in which the exchange rates change.
(iv) Non monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction.
1.5 FIXED ASSETS

intended use.
(iii) The cost of self-constructed assets includes cost of materials
plus any other directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to
working condition for its intended use.
(iv) Subsequent expenditure are added to the cost of existing asset

from the existing asset beyond its standard of performance as on that
date.
(v) An item of fixed asset is eliminated from financial statements on
disposal or discardment.
(vi) Items of fixed assets that are retired from active use and are
held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and
net realizable value and are presented separately in the financial
statements. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the

carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in statement of profit
and loss for the relevant financial year.
1.6 EXPENDITURE ON NEW PROJECTS AND SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSION
Expenditure directly relating to construction activity (net of income,
if any) is capitalized. Indirect expenditure incurred during
construction period capitalized as part of the indirect construction
cost to the extent to which the expenditure is indirectly related to
construction or is incidental thereto. Other indirect expenditure

which is not related to the construction activity nor is incidental
thereto is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss. Income earned during
construction period deducted from the total of the indirect
expenditure.
All direct capital expenditure on expansion is capitalized. As regards
indirect expenditure on expansion only that portion is capitalized
which represents the marginal increase in such expenditure as a result
of capital expansion. The same is treated as pre-operative expenditure
pending allocation to fixed assets in progress and is shown "Capital
Work-in-Progress". The same is transferred to fixed assets on
progressive basis and is capitalized along with fixed assets on
commencement of commercial activities.
1.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost when the asset is
identifiable , non-monetary in nature, without physical substance and
it is probable that such expenditure is to result in future economic
benefits to the entity.
1.8 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if
any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset
under development and intangible asset having amortization period of
greater than ten years is tested for impairment annually and other
intangible assets whenever there is an indication that asset may be
impaired
Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for
the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
1.9 DEPRECIATION
Except for freehold land, leasehold land and Capital work-in-progress

value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs
of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and
distribution.

qualifying asset is being incurred;
2. Borrowing costs are being incurred; and
3. Activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended
use are in progress

taxable income for the year.
Deferred tax is recognized, on timing difference, being the difference
between taxable incomes and accounting income that originate in one
period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses,
deferred tax assets are recognized if there is virtual certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
assets can be realized. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only
to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in future.
Such assets are reviewed at each Balance sheet date to reassess
realization. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the balance sheet date.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only
when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company
will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in

credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence
to the effect that the company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period.
1.18 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A provision is recognized when it is more likely than not that an
obligation will result in an outflow of resources.

resources is not estimable.
1.19 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
A. The Company has voluntarily adopted the principles of Accounting
Standard (AS) 30 ["Financial Instruments Recognition and
Measurement"] for the accounting of such derivative contracts, not
covered under Accounting Standards (AS) 11 ["The Effects of Changes
in Foreign Exchange Rates"] , in pursuance of the announcement of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated March 29, 2008
on accounting of derivatives..
B. The fair values of all such derivative financial instruments are
recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. Such
derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools only
and not for speculative purposes.

settlement of the derivative contracts covered under Accounting
Standard (AS) 30 ["Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement"] are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or
Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge
effectiveness. Where the cash flow hedge is effective, the gains or
losses are recognized in the "Hedge Reserve" which forms part of
"Reserves and Surplus" in the Balance Sheet, while the same is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss where the hedge is
ineffective. The amount recognized in the "Hedge Reserve" is
transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which
the underlying hedged item affects the Statement of Profit and Loss.
D. For derivative financial instruments designated as Fair Value
hedges, the fair value of both the derivative financial instrument and
the hedged item are recognized the Profit and Loss till the period the
relationship is found to be effective. If the hedging relationship
ceases to be effective or it becomes probable that the expected
transaction will no longer occur, future gains or losses on the
derivative financial instruments are recognized in Profit and Loss.
E. If no hedging relationship is designated, the fair value of the
derivative financial instruments is marked to market through Profit and
Loss.

Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provision of the
Companies Act, 1956.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company.
1.2 USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the results of operations during the
reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon
management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual
results could differ from these estimates.
1.3 REVENUE RECOGNITION
i) Revenue is recognised only when it can be reliably measured and it
is reasonable to accept ultimate collection.
ii) Sales
Sales are recognised on transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership to the buyer. Domestic Sales are accounted on exclusive of
Excise, net of Central Sales Tax, VAT, sales return and rate
difference, if any. Exports sales are accounted on the basis of dates
of Bill of Lading. Sales do not include Inter Division transfer.
iii) Export Benefits
Incomes in respect of Duty Drawback and Duty Entitlement Pass Book
Scheme (DEPB) in respect of exports made during the year are accounted
on accrual basis. Profit or losses on transfer of DEPB licenses are
accounted in year of the sales. Duty free imports of material under
Advance License matched with the export made against the said licenses
iv) Dividend income is recognised on the basis of dividend declared by
the companies.
1.4 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(i) Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Indian Rupees
using the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of
the transactions. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary
balances are reported in Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the balance sheet date. All realised and unrealised
exchange adjustment gains and losses are dealt with in the profit and
loss account.
(ii) In order to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from
Export or Import foreign currency, bank borrowings and trade
receivables, the Company enters into forward contracts. In case of
forward exchange contracts, the cost of the contracts is amortised over
the period of the contract. Any profit or loss arising on the
cancellation or renewal of a forward exchange contract is recognised as
income or expenses for the year.
(iii) Exchange difference is calculated as the difference between the
foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate
at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is
settled during the reporting period and the corresponding foreign
currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the
forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange
differences are recognized in the profit and loss account in the
reporting period in which the exchange rates change.
(iv) Non monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction.
1.5 FIXED ASSETS
(i) Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less
accumulated depreciation, including borrowing cost as specified in
point (i) till such assets are ready for its intended use, less
specific grants received and Cenvat Credit availed if any.
(ii) Fixed assets in the course of work-in-progress for production or
administrative purposes are carried at cost less any impairment loss.
Work in Progress includes expenditure pending for capitalization.
Cost includes land and building improvement costs, related acquisition
expenses and construction costs incurred during the period of
construction. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as the
other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their
intended use.
(iii) The cost of self-constructed assets includes cost of materials
plus any other directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to
working condition for its intended use.
(iv) Subsequent expenditure are added to the cost of existing asset
only when such expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits
from the existing asset beyond its standard of performance as on that
date.
(v) An item of fixed asset is eliminated from financial statements on
disposal or discardment.
(vi) Items of fixed assets that are retired from active use and are
held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and
net realizable value and are presented separately in the financial
statements. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the
statement of profit and loss.
(vii) The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an
asset is determined as the difference between sales proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in statement of profit
and loss for the relevant financial year.
1.6 EXPENDITURE ON NEW PROJECTS AND SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSION
Expenditure directly relating to construction activity (net of income,
if any) is capitalized. Indirect expenditure incurred during
construction period capitalized as part of the indirect construction
cost to the extent to which the expenditure is indirectly related to
construction or is incidental thereto. Other indirect expenditure
(including borrowing costs) incurred during the construction period,
which is neither related to the construction activity nor is incidental
thereto is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss. Income earned during
construction period deducted from the total of the indirect
expenditure.
All direct capital expenditure on expansion is capitalized. As regards
indirect expenditure on expansion only that portion is capitalized
which represents the marginal increase in such expenditure as a result
of capital expansion. The same is treated as pre-operative expenditure
pending allocation to fixed assets in progress and is shown "Capital
Work-in- Progress". The same is transferred to fixed assets on
progressive basis and is capitalized along with fixed assets on
commencement of commercial activities.
1.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost when the asset is
identifiable, non-monetary in nature, without physical substance and it
is probable that such expenditure is to result in future economic
benefits to the entity.
1.8 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if
any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset
under development and intangible asset having amortization period of
greater than ten years is tested for impairment annually and other
intangible assets whenever there is an indication that asset may be
impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for
the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
1.9 DEPRECIATION
Except for freehold land, leasehold land and Capital work-in-progress
and other assets as stated below depreciation is charged on Straight
Line Method (SLM) as per rate and in the manner prescribed under
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Any addition or extension to
an existing asset which is of a capital nature and which becomes an
integral part of the existing asset is depreciated over the remaining
useful life of that asset.

management perception as under:-
(i) ETP waste Rights - 5 Years

there is a diminution in its value of other than temporary nature.
Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value
determined on an individual basis. Gain or loss arising from sale or
disposal of such investment is accounted at the time of actual sale or
disposal in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.11 INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of Raw Material is determined on a monthly moving weighted average
basis.
Stores and Consumables are valued at cost (net of CENVAT) or net
realizable value whichever is lower.
Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is
lower. Cost comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct
labour costs, those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition and excise duty
payable on finished goods.
For finished goods of Export Oriented Units (EOUs) where prima facie
finished goods of EOUs are meant for export and no excise duty is
leviable, Therefore no excise duty is added in finished goods
valuation. However in case of EOU also excise duty is included in
valuation of finished goods in proportion to DTA sales. Net realizable
value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs
of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and
distribution.
Work in progress is valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is
less. Cost comprises direct materials and appropriate portion of direct
labour costs, manufacturing overheads and depreciation.
1.12 BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing Costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such assets, wherever applicable, till the assets are ready for
their intended use. Such capitalisation is done only when its is
probable that the asset will result in future economic benefits and the
costs can be measured reliably. Capitalisation of borrowing costs
commences when all the following conditions are satisfied:
i) Expenditure for the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset is being incurred;
ii) Borrowing costs are being incurred; and
iii) Activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its
intended use are in progress
A qualifying asset is one which necessarily takes substantial period to
get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to

taxable income for the year.
Deferred tax is recognized, on timing difference, being the difference
between taxable incomes and accounting income that originate in one
period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses,
deferred tax assets are recognized if there is virtual certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
assets can be realized. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only
to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in future.
Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess
realization. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the balance sheet date.
Minimum Alternative Tax(MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when
and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will
pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which
the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance note issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit & Loss and shown
as MAT Credit Entitlement. The company reviews the same at each balance
sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period.
1.18 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A provision is recognized when it is more likely than not that an
obligation will result in an outflow of resources.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on management''s estimation of the obligation required to settle
the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current management
estimates.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed for all possible obligations that
are not remote and all present obligations of which outflow of economic
resources is not estimable.
1.19 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
i) The Company has voluntarily adopted the principles of Accounting
Standard (AS) 30 ["Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement"]
for the accounting of such derivative contracts, not covered under
Accounting Standards (AS) 11 ["The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates"] , in pursuance of the announcement of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated March 29, 2008 on
accounting of derivatives..
ii) The fair values of all such derivative financial instruments are
recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. Such
derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools only
and not for speculative purposes.

settlement of the derivative contracts covered under
Accounting Standard (AS) 30 ["Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement"] are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or
Balance Sheet as the case may be after applying the test of hedge
effectiveness. Where the cash flow hedge is effective, the gains or
losses are recognized in the "Hedge Reserve" which forms part of
"Reserves and Surplus" in the Balance Sheet, while the same is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss where the hedge is
ineffective. The amount recognized in the "Hedge Reserve" is
transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which
the underlying hedged item affects the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iv) For derivative financial instruments designated as Fair Value
hedges, the fair value of both the derivative financial instrument and
the hedged item are recognized the Profit and Loss till the period the
relationship is found to be effective. If the hedging relationship
ceases to be effective or it becomes probable that the expected
transaction will no longer occur, future gains or losses on the
derivative financial instruments are recognized in Profit and Loss.
v) If no hedging relationship is designated, the fair value of the
derivative financial instruments is marked to market through Profit and
Loss.

of capital expansion. The same is treated as pre-operative expenditure
pending allocation to fixed assets in progress and is shown "Capital
Work-in- Progress". The same is transferred to fixed assets on
progressive basis and is capitalized along with fixed assets on
commencement of commercial activities.
1.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost when the asset is
identifiable, non-monetary in nature, without physical substance and it
is probable that such expenditure is to result in future economic
benefits to the entity.
1.8 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if
any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset
under development and intangible asset having amortization period of
greater than ten years is tested for impairment annually and other
intangible assets whenever there is an indication that asset may be
impaired
Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for
the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
1.9 DEPRECIATION
Except for freehold land, leasehold land and Capital work-in-progress
and other assets as stated below depreciation is charged on Straight
Line Method (SLM) as per rate and in the manner prescribed under
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Any addition or extension to
an existing asset which is of a capital nature and which becomes an
integral part of the existing asset is depreciated over the remaining
useful life of that asset.

finished goods of EOUs are meant for export and no excise duty is
leviable, therefore no excise duty is added in finished goods
valuation. However in case of EOU also Excise duty is included in
valuation of finished goods in proportion to DTA sales. Net realizable
value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs
of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and
distribution.

probable that the asset will result in future economic benefits and the
costs can be measured reliably. Capitalisation of borrowing costs
commences when all the following conditions are satisfied:
1. Expenditure for the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset is being incurred;
2. Borrowing costs are being incurred; and
3. Activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended
use are in progress

Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses,
deferred tax assets are recognized if there is virtual certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
assets can be realized. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only
to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in future.
Such assets are reviewed at each Balance sheet date to reassess
realization.

(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(i) Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Indian Rupees
using the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the
transactions. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary balances
are reported in Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing at
the balance sheet date. All realised and unrealised exchange adjustment
gains and losses are dealt with in the profit and loss account.

forward exchange contracts, the cost of the contracts is amortised over
the period of the contract. Any profit or loss arising on the
cancellation or renewal of a forward exchange contract is recognised as

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if
any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset
with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an indication that asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for
the asset (or cash generating unit) in prioryears. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
