Provisions are recognised when the Company hasa present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. The expense relating to a provision ispresented in the statement of profit and loss netof 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 risksspecific to the liability. When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognised as a finance cost.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is madewhere there is a possible obligation or apresent obligation that may probably notrequire an outflow of resources. When thereis a possible or a present obligation wherethe likelihood of outflow of resources isremote, no provision or disclosure is made.
(o) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligationare measured on an undiscounted basisand are expensed as the related service isprovided. A liability is recognised for theamount expected to be paid e.g., undershort-term cash bonus, if the Company hasa present legal or constructive obligation topay this amount as a result of past serviceprovided by the employee, and the amount ofobligation can be estimated reliably.
The grant date fair value of equity settledshare based payment awards granted toemployees is recognised as an employeeexpense, with a corresponding increase inequity, over the period that the employeesunconditionally become entitled to theawards. The amount recognised as expenseis based on the estimate of the number ofawards for which the related service andnon-market vesting conditions are expectedto be met, such that the amount ultimatelyrecognised as an expense is based on the
number of awards that do meet the relatedservice and non-market vesting conditions atthe vesting date.
A defined contribution plan is a post¬employment benefit plan under whichan entity pays fixed contributions intoa separate entity and will have no legalor constructive obligation to pay furtheramounts. The Company makes specifiedmonthly contributions towards Governmentadministered provident fund scheme.Obligations for contributions to definedcontribution plans are recognised as anemployee benefits expense in the statementof profit and loss in the periods duringwhich the related services are rendered byemployees.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employmentbenefit plan other than a defined contributionplan. The Company’s net obligation inrespect of defined benefit plans is calculatedseparately for each plan by estimating theamount of future benefit that employeeshave earned in the current and prior periods,discounting that amount and deducting thefair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit plan isperformed annually by a qualified actuaryusing the projected unit credit method. Whenthe calculation results in a potential assetfor the Company, the recognised asset islimited to the present value of economicbenefits available in the form of any futurerefunds from the plan or reductions in futurecontributions to the plan ('the asset ceiling’).In order to calculate the present value ofeconomic benefits, consideration is given toany minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefitliability, which comprise actuarial gains andlosses, the return on plan assets (excludinginterest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (ifany, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI.The Company determines the net interestexpense (income) on the net defined benefitliability (asset) for the period by applying thediscount rate used to measure the definedbenefit plan at the beginning of the annual
period to the then net defined benefit liability(asset), taking into account any changes inthe net defined benefit liability (asset) duringthe period as a result of contributions andbenefit payments. Net interest expense andother expenses related to defined benefitplans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed orwhen a plan is curtailed, the resulting changein benefit that relates to past service ('pastservice cost’ or 'past service gain’) or thegain or loss on curtailment is recognisedimmediately in profit or loss. The Companyrecognises gains and losses on thesettlement of a defined benefit plan when thesettlement occurs.
The employees can carry-forward a portionof the unutilised accrued compensatedabsences and utilise it in future service periodsor receive cash compensation on terminationof employment. Since the compensatedabsences do not fall due wholly within twelvemonths after the end of the period in whichthe employees render the related service andare also not expected to be utilised whollywithin twelve months after the end of suchperiod, the benefit is classified as a long-termemployee benefit. The Company records anobligation for such compensated absencesin the period in which the employee rendersthe services that increases this entitlement.The obligation is measured on the basis ofindependent actuarial obligation using theprojected unit credit method.
The Company’s net obligation in respectof long-term employee benefits other thanpost-employment benefits is the amount offuture benefit that employees have earnedin return for their service in the current andprior periods; that benefit is discounted todetermine its present value, and the fairvalue of any related assets is deducted.The obligation is measured on the basis ofan annual independent actuarial valuationusing the projected unit credit method.Remeasurements gains or losses arerecognised in profit or loss in the period inwhich they arise.
For the purpose of presentation in the statementof cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includescash on hand, deposits held at call with financialinstitutions, other short-term, highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of threemonths or less that are readily convertible toknown amounts of cash and which are subject toan insignificant risk of changes in value.
(q) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method,whereby net profits before tax is adjusted forthe effects of transactions of a non-cash natureand any deferrals or accruals of past or futurecash receipts or payments. The cash flows fromregular revenue generating (operating activities),investing and financing activities of the Companyare segregated.
(r) New and amended standards
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifiesnew standards or amendments to the existingstandards under Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules as issued from time to time.During the year ended 31 March 2025, MCA hasnotified the following standards or amendmentsto the existing standards.
(i) Ind As 117 - Insurance Contracts

Impairment testing for cash generating unit containing goodwill
During the earlier years, the Company has acquired assets under a business transfer agreement from K C Dairy ProductsPrivate Limited (""K C Dairy"") and allocated goodwill to K C Dairy which represents the lowest level within the Company atwhich goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 March 2025 isINR 359.37 (31 March 2024: INR 359.37).
During the earlier years, the Company has acquired assets through slump purchase arrangement from Sri Krishna MilksPrivate Limited (""SKM"") and allocated goodwill to SKM which represents the lowest level within the Company at whichgoodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 March 2025 isINR 74.00 (31 March 2024: INR 74.00).
As at 31 March 2025, Goodwill pertaining to both past business combinations were tested for impairment.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount as set out below. The values assigned to the keyassumptions represent Management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industry and have been based onhistorical data from both internal and external sources.
The cash flow projections include specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminalgrowth rate has been determined based on the management's estimate of the long-term compound annual EBITDAgrowth rate, consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make.
Weighted average cost of capital % (WACC) = Risk free return (Market premium x Beta for the Company).
The Company has performed sensitivity analysis around the base assumptions and has concluded that no reasonablechange in key assumptions would result in the recoverable amount of the CGU to be less than the carrying value.Accordingly, no impairment charges were recognised for the year ended 31 March 2025.
ii) The Company has not revalued any Intangible assets after initial recognition during the current and previous financial year.
iii) On transition to Ind AS (i.e. 01 April 2016), the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of goodwill and allother intangible assets measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Intangibleassets.
iv) There are no restrictions over the title of the Company's intangible assets, nor are any intangible assets pledged as securityfor liabilities.
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifyingemployees towards provident fund and other funds which are defined contribution plans. The Company has no obligationsother than to make the specified contributions. The contributions of INR 88.47 (31 March 2024: INR 78.54) are charged tothe statement of profit and loss as they accrue (refer note 33).
(ii) Post retirement benefit - Defined benefit plans
The Company provides its employees with the benefits under a defined benefit plan, referred to as the "Gratuity Plan". TheGratuity Plan entitles an employee, who has rendered at least five years of continuous service, to receive one-half month’ssalary for each year of completed service (service of six months and above is rounded off as one year) at the time ofretirement/exit, restricted to a sum of INR 2.00.
Sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit planas a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. The above sensitivityanalysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely tooccur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefitplan to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit plan calculated with theprojected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied as and when calculating the defined benefitliability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the priorperiod.
Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does providean approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.
The Company makes annual contribution to the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) of an amount advised by LIC.The Company was not informed by LIC of the investments made by them or the breakup of the plan assets into varioustype of investments.
e) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailedbelow:
Asset volatility: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assetsunderperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The Company’s plan assets are insurer managed funds and are subjectto less material risk.
Changes in bond yields: A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities and the Company ensures that it hasenough reserves to fund the liability.
h) The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan at the end of the year is 4 years (31 March 2024: 4 years).
(iii) Code on Social Security, 2020
The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code’) relating to employee benefits during employment and post employmentbenefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India.However, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/interpretationhave not yet been issued. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will recordany related impact in the period the Code becomes effective.

The carrying amount of the current financial assets and current financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair
values, due to their short term nature.
(a) The fair valuation of investments in mutual funds is classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as they are determined
based on their quoted prices in active markets.
(b) The fair valuation of investments in debentures, bonds and commercial papers is INR 706.95.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair values:
1. The Company has not disclosed the fair values for trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents including other bankbalances, loans receivable, and other financial assets because the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximationof the fair values.
2. Investment in mutual funds: Fair value of quoted mutual funds units is based on quoted market price at the reportingdate.
1. Lease liabilities: The fair values of the Company’s lease liabilities are determined by discounting the future cashflowsat discount rate that reflects the incremental borrowing rate of the Company. The Company has not disclosed the fairvalue because its carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of its fair value.
2. Trade payables and other financial liabilities: Fair values of trade payables and other financial liabilities are measuredat carrying value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair value are assumed to be almostequal to the carrying values.
The Company’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company’sactivities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s primary focus is toforesee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Asummary of the risks have been given below.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet itscontractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and loans given. Credit riskarises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to counterparties, including outstandingaccounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objectiveof managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of thecounterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Credit risk is managed by Head of Sales of the Company. Usually, the business is carried on cash and carry basis. Credit isprovided after a background check and credit analysis.
The accounts receivable team along with sales team will evaluate all new customers to determine payment terms and methodsto be required, and what level of credit will be established. The accounts receivable team and sales team will also periodicallyreview and re-evaluate payment terms and credit lines of existing customers and to support new customer requirements, anddo manage risk as financial and business conditions change.
Majority of milk customers are un-registered and multi brand sellers. Billing transaction takes place on all of the 365 days in ayear. The credit allowed is monitored as per the approved limits.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade andother receivables. The default in collection as a percentage to total receivable is low. Refer below for the expected credit lossfor trade receivables.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks and financialinstitutions with high credit ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies.
The Company’s maximum exposure relating to financial guarantees is noted in Note 20 and the liquidity table below.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidityis to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under bothnormal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. Inaddition, process and policies related to such risks are overseen by the senior management.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect theCompany’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manageand control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
