1. Significant Accounting Policies and key Accounting estimates and judgements Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

1.2 Basis of Preparation and Compliance

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain items that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis using accrual concept except for the cash flow information.

Historical cost is generally based on fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS-2 inventories or value in use in Ind AS 36 -Impairment of Assets.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, as described hereunder:

Level 1 -Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 -Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

1.3 Current / Non-Current Classification

An asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

For the purpose of current / non-current classification, the Company has reckoned its normal operating cycle as twelve months based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets or inventories for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

1.4 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on March 31, 2023 notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 that seeks to amend certain existing standards under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 issued from time to time. The major amendments are as below:

Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - The amendment requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies and also identify and eliminate immaterial accounting policies from disclosure.

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - This amendment has introduced a definition of âaccounting estimatesâ which was absent hitherto, and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes - This amendment has narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.

The effective date for adoption of the above amendments is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated these amendments and there is no impact on its financial statement.

1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

(i) Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:

(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and

(b) are expected to be used during more than one period.

(ii) The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if:

(a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and

(b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

(iii) For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its PPE recognised as of April 1,2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous IGAAP as its deemed cost as on the transition date.

(iv) An item of PPE that qualifies for recognition as an asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, PPEs are carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

(v) The cost of an item of PPE comprises purchase price, taxes and duties net of input tax credit entitlement and other items directly attributable to the cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Trade discounts and rebates are deducted. Cost includes cost of replacing a part of a PPE if the recognition criteria are met. Expenses directly attributable to new manufacturing facility during its construction period are capitalized if the recognition criteria are met. Expenditure related to plans, designs and drawings of buildings or plant and machinery is capitalized under relevant heads of PPE if the recognition criteria are met.

(vi) The Company identifies and determines the cost of each part of an item of PPE separately, if the part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of that item of PPE and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining item.

(vii) Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment that meet the definition of PPE are capitalized at cost. Costs in the nature of repairs and maintenance are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred. All upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring significant additional benefits. Borrowing Costs (net of interest earned on temporary investments of those borrowings) directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the assets till the asset is ready for its intended use.

(viii) Capital advances and capital work- in- progress

Advances given towards acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work- in-progress. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of PPE when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation on these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use which is generally on commissioning.

(ix) Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and changes, if any, are treated as changes in accounting estimate.The useful lives are based on technical estimates and the management believe that the useful lives are realistic and fair approximation over the period of which the assets are likely to be used.

(x) Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Asset	Years
Factory Buildings	30
Buildings (other than factory buildings)	60
Plant and Equipment (including continuous process plants)	25
Furniture and Fixtures	8 -10
Vehicles	8-10
Office Equipment	5
IT Hardware - Server	6
- Other than server	3
Energy saving devices and ESP	15¹
Sugar Mill Rollers	3¹

1.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life is reviewed annually with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets are amortized equally over the estimated useful life not exceeding three years.

1.7 De-recognition of tangible and intangible assets

An item of tangible or intangible asset is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds if any and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company annually 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. When 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. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified,corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.9 Financial instruments

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.10 Financial assets

Purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

a. Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The debt instruments carried at amortised cost include Deposits, Loans and advances recoverable in cash.

â¢ the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

â¢ the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

b. Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

c. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

The Company has irrevocably designated to carry investment in equity instruments as Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). On initial recognition, the Company makes an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the âReserve for equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Incomeâ. On derecognition of such Financial Assets, cumulative gain or loss previously reported in OCI is not reclassified from Equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer such cumulative gain or loss into retained earnings within equity.

The Company has equity investments which are not held for trading. The Company has elected the FVTOCI irrevocable option for these investments (Note 3). Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 1.2.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the Companyâs right to receive same is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

d. Impairment of Financial Assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses âExpected Credit Lossâ (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of financial assets other than those measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL).

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

â¢ The 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

â¢ Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible defaults events over the life of the financial instrument).

For trade receivable, Company applies âsimplified approachâ which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

For other assets, the Company uses 12 months ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk, full lifetime ECL is used.

e. De-recognition of Financial Assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109.

Concomitantly, if the asset is one that is measured at:

(a) Amortised cost, the gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income, the cumulative fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset represents an equity investment in which case the cumulative fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves is reclassified within equity.

1.11 Financial liabilities and equity instruments

a. Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

b. Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

c. Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at the value of respective contractual obligations. Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the âFinance costsâ line item.

d. Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

1.12 Derivative financial instruments & Hedge Accounting

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including forward contracts, futures and options.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.

The Company designates hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

a. Cash Flow Hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and are accumulated as âcash flow hedge reserveâ. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income remains there until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in Other Comprehensive Income is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases the amount recognised in Other Comprehensive Income is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Fair Value Hedges

The Company designates derivative contracts as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of change in fair value of hedged item in foreign exchange rates.

Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and hedged items that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of maturity.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date.

1.13 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.

1.14 Inventories

Inventories other than by-products are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory of by-products is stated at net realizable value. Materials and other items intended for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost comprises of all costs of purchase (that includes taxes and duties, net of input tax credit entitlement), costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of raw materials, consumables, stores and spares is determined on weighted average basis and includes inward freight and other direct expenses.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs for completion and sale.

Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are periodically identified and write-down is recognised where necessary.

1.15 Revenue Recognition

a. Sale of products

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the products to customers at a point in time i.e. when the products are delivered to the carrier in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive in exchange for those products (i.e.) transaction price.

b. Dividend

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholderâs right to receive payment has been established.

c. Interest Income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company there exists no uncertainty in the ultimate realization of the interest income and the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and using effective interest rate method.

d. Insurance Claims

Insurance claims are recognized on the basis of claims admitted/ expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

e. Renewable Energy Certificates

Income from Renewable Energy Certificates is recognised on sale, having regard to the insignificant identifiable cost thereof.

1.16 Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Grants are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Company recognises as expense the related costs which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the Balance Sheet and transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Grants related to income are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income under relevant heads or deducted in reporting the related expense. Receivables of such grants are disclosed under âOther Financial Assetsâ.

1.17 Employee Benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.

(b) Post-employment benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans

Contribution to Defined Contribution Schemes towards retirement benefits in the form of Provident fund and Superannuation fund is recognised as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans

The Company operates Defined Benefit Gratuity Plan for employees. The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date. The defined benefit obligations recognised in the Balance Sheet represent the present value of the defined benefit obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if applicable. Any defined benefit asset (negative defined benefit obligations resulting from this calculation) is recognised representing the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.

All expenses represented by current service cost, past service cost, if any, and net interest on the defined benefit liability/ (asset) are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on the plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities / (asset) are recognised in comprehensive income and taken to âretained earningsâ.Such re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the subsequent periods.

The Company presents the above liability /(asset) as current and non-current in the Balance Sheet as per actuarial valuation by the independent actuary. However, the entire liability towards gratuity is considered as current as the Company will contribute this amount to the gratuity fund within the next twelve months.

The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Salary Escalation Risk: : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future, based on past experience. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the planâs liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out adverse compared to the assumptions.

Entitlement to earned leave and sick leave is recognised when it accrue to employees. Earned leave/ sick leave can be availed or encashed either during service or on retirement subject to a restriction on the maximum number of accumulation of leave. The Company determines the liability for such accumulated leave using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each Balance Sheet date and funded with an Insurer.

1.18 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, (which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use) are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.19 Foreign Currency Transactions

a. Initial Recognition

On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency (i.e. Indian Rupee), by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

b. Measurement of foreign currency items at reporting date

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing exchange rates. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is measured.

c. Recognition of exchange difference

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

1.20 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 the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

1.21 Taxes on Income

Taxes on income comprise of current tax and deferred tax.

a. Current tax

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from âprofit before taxâ as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Current tax is measured using tax rates and tax laws enacted during the reporting period together with any adjustment to taxes payable as respect of previous years.

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit under Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. However, in case of temporary differences that arise from initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that affect neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilized. In case of temporary differences that arise from initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that affect neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, deferred tax assets are not recognised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the benefits of part or all of such deferred tax assets to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that have been enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

MAT Credit Entitlement is in the form of unused tax credit and is accordingly grouped under Deferred Tax Assets.

c. Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity respectively.

1.22 Events after reporting period

Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.

1.23 Financial and Management Information System

The Companyâs Accounting System is designed to unify the financial and cost records and also to comply with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, and provide financial and cost information appropriate to the businesses and facilitate Internal Control.

1.24 Operating Segment

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resource and assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company. The Managing Director is identified as the CODM.

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company.In addition, specific accounting policies followed for segment reporting are as under:

The Company has identified two business segments viz. Sugar and Cogeneration. Revenue and expenses have been identified to respective segments on the basis of operating activities of the enterprise. Revenue and expenses which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to a segment on a reasonable basis have been disclosed as unallocable revenue and expenses.

Segment assets and liabilities represent assets and liabilities in respective segments. Other assets and liabilities that cannot be allocated to a segment on a reasonable basis have been disclosed as unallocable assets and liabilities.

Inter segment revenue / expenditure is recognised at fair value/market price.

Geographical segment - not applicable.

Inter Segment Transfer Pricing:

Bagasse and Power -At market price Steam - At cost

1.25 Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit / loss (after tax and before OCI) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.26 Statement of Cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are based on classification made in a manner considered most appropriate to Companyâs business.

Key Accounting estimates and judgments

1.27 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1.28 Changes in estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The effect of change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in profit or loss in (a) the period of the change if the change affects only that period; or (b) the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

However, the change in an accounting estimate that gives rise to changes in assets and liabilities, or relates to an item of equity, is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the related asset, liability or equity item in the period of the change.

1.29 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key assumption concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as given below.

a. Fair value measurement and valuation processes

Some of the Companyâs assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The management works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.

b. Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of Property,plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. Any change on review of useful life/Residual value of PPE is a change in accounting estimate and accordingly dealt with prospectively in the financial statements as per Ind AS 8.

c. Actuarial valuation

The determination of Companyâs liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and in Other Comprehensive Income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market. Information about such valuation is provided in the Notes to the financial statements.

d. Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

The Company has ongoing litigations with various tax and regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on managementâs assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such issues are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in the Notes to the financial statements.

Based on Technical Evaluation , the management has estimated the useful life as given above and hence the useful life of these assets are different and not longer than the useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act,2013

(xi) Assets costing ''10,000/- and below are depreciated in full in the year of addition.

Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Statement of compliance

1.2 Basis of Preparation and Compliance

Historical cost is generally based on fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, as described hereunder:

Level 1 -Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 -Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

1.3 Current / Non-Current Classification

An asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

1.4 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases

On March 30, 2019 Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified âInd AS 116, Leasesâ replacing the existing âInd AS 17 Leasesâ and related interpretations. This new standard is applicable for accounting periods commencing on or after 01-04-2019 and hence not applicable for the financial statements for the year ended 31-03-2019. However, application of this standard from 01-04-2019 does not have any significant impact for the Company.

Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Appendix C to Ind AS 12 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. This is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12.

According to the appendix, the Company needs to determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that the Company has used or plans to use in its income tax filing which has to be considered to compute the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining taxable profit (or tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.

The effective date for adoption of Appendix C to Ind AS 12 is in respect of accounting period beginning on or after April 1, 2019 and the Company will adopt the same accordingly.

1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:

(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and

(b) are expected to be used during more than one period.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if:

(a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and

(b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably

(i) An item of PPE that qualifies for recognition as an asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, PPEs are carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

(i)(a) For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its PPE recognised as of April 1, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous IGAAP as its deemed cost as on the transition date.

(ii) The cost of an item of PPE comprises purchase price, taxes and duties net of input tax credit entitlement and other items directly attributable to the cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Trade discounts and rebates are deducted. Cost includes cost of replacing a part of a PPE if the recognition criteria are met. Expenses directly attributable to new manufacturing facility during its construction period are capitalized if the recognition criteria are met. Expenditure related to plans, designs and drawings of buildings or plant and machinery is capitalized under relevant heads of PPE if the recognition criteria are met.

(iii) The Company identifies and determines the cost of each part of an item of PPE separately, if the part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of that item of PPE and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining item.

(iv) Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment that meet the definition of PPE are capitalized at cost. Costs in the nature of repairs and maintenance are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred. All upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring significant additional benefits. Borrowing Costs (net of interest earned on temporary investments of those borrowings) directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the assets till the asset is ready for its intended use.

(v) Capital advances and capital work- in- progress

Advances given towards acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work- in- progress. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of PPE when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation on these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use which is generally on commissioning.

(vi) Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and changes, if any, are treated as changes in accounting estimate. The useful lives are based on technical estimates and the management believe that the useful lives are realistic and fair approximation over the period of which the assets are likely to be used.

(vii) Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Assets costing Rs. 5,000/- and below are depreciated in full within the Financial Year.

1.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortized equally over the estimated useful life not exceeding three years.

1.7 De-recognition of tangible and intangible assets

An item of tangible or intangible asset is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and if any and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company annually 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). When 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. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

1.9 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the relevant instrument and 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 at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

1.10 Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

a. Classification of financial assets

- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

b. Effective interest method

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss

c. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss when the Companyâs right to receive same is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

d. Impairment of Financial Assets

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

- The 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

- Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible defaults events over the life of the financial instrument).

For trade receivable, Company applies âsimplified approachâ which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

e. De-recognition of Financial Assets

Concomitantly, if the asset is one that is measured at:

(a) Amortised cost, the gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.11 Financial liabilities and equity instruments

a. Classification as debt or equity

b. Equity instruments

c. Financial liabilities

d. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company designates hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

a. Cash Flow Hedges

b. Fair Value Hedges

The Company designates derivative contracts as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of change in fair value of hedged item in foreign exchange rates.

1.13 Inventories

Cost comprises of all costs of purchase (that includes taxes and duties, net of input tax credit entitlement), costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of raw materials, consumables, stores and spares is determined on weighted average basis and includes inward freight and other direct expenses.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs for completion and sale.

Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are periodically identified and write- down is recognised where necessary.

1.14 Revenue Recognition

Effective from April 01, 2018 the Company has adopted Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ that does not have any significant impact on the revenue recognition and measurement.

a. Sale of products

b. Dividend

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholderâs right to receive payment has been established.

c. Interest Income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and using effective interest rate method.

d. Insurance Claims

Insurance claims are recognised on the basis of claims admitted/ expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

e. Renewable Energy Certificates

Income from Renewable Energy Certificates is recognised on sale, having regard to the insignificant identifiable cost thereof.

1.15 Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Grants related to income are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as âother incomeâ or deducted in reporting the related expense.

1.16 Employee Benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

(b) Post employment benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans

All expenses represented by current service cost, past service cost, if any, and net interest on the defined benefit liability/ (asset) are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on the plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities / asset) are recognised in comprehensive income and taken to âretained earningsâ. Such re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the subsequent periods.

The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future, based on past experience. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the planâs liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out adverse compared to the assumptions

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability/ (asset) comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on the plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities / asset) are recognised in comprehensive income and taken to âretained earningsâ. Such re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the subsequent periods.

The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Further, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101. The Company has determined the classification of debt instruments in terms of whether they meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transition date.

e. Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as of 1st April 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous IGAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
