Provisions are recognized when the Company has a presentobligation (Legal or constructive) as as result of past events,for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate ofthe amount can be made.
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has apresent obligation as a result of past event; it is probablethat an outflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can bemade. Provisions are not discounted to its present valueand are determined based on best estimate required tosettle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These arereviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflectthe current best estimates
The Company on a case to case basis elects to account forfinancial guarantee contracts as a financial instrumentor as an insurance contract, as specified in Ind AS 109on Financial Instruments and Ind AS 104 on InsuranceContracts. The Company has regarded all its financialguarantee contracts as insurance contracts. At the endof each reporting period the Company performs a liabilityadequacy test, (i.e. it assesses the likelihood of a pay-outbased on current undiscounted estimates of future cashflows), and any deficiency is recognized in profit or loss.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
a) a present obligation arising from the past events,when it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation;
b) a present obligation arising from the past events,when no reliable estimate is possible;
c) a possible obligation arising from past events, unlessthe probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in thefinancial statements when an inflow of economic benefitsis probable. However, when the realization of income isvirtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingentasset and is recognized.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognizedwhen the Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are initially measured atfair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition of the financialasset [other than financial assets at fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL)] are added to thefair value of the financial assets. Purchases orsales of financial assets that require deliveryof assets within a time frame established byregulation or convention in the market place(regular way trades) are recognized on the tradedate, i.e., the date that the Company commits topurchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs offinancial assets carried at FVTPL are expensedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For purposes of subsequent measurement,
financial assets are classified in thefollowing categories:
(i) Debt instruments at amortized cost
A 'debt instrument' is measured at theamortized cost if both the followingconditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a businessmodel whose objective is to holdassets for collecting contractualcash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset giverise on specified dates to cash flowsthat are Solely Payments of Principaland Interest (SPPI) on the principalamount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financialassets are subsequently measured atamortized cost using the Effective InterestRate (EIR) method. Amortized cost iscalculated by taking into account any discountor premium and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortizationis included in finance income in the Statementof Profit and Loss. The losses arising fromimpairment are recognized in the Statementof Profit and Loss. This category generallyapplies to trade and other receivables.
(ii) Debt instruments included within theFair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)category are measured at fair value withall changes recognized in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
(iii) Equity instruments: All equity
instruments within the scope of Ind-AS109 are measured at fair value excludingInvestment in Unquoted equity sharesheld for membership purpose.Equityinstruments which are classified as heldfor trading are measured at FVTPL. Forall other equity instruments, the Companydecides to measure the same either atFair Value Through Other ComprehensiveIncome (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Companymakes such selection on an instrument-by¬instrument basis. The classification is madeon initial recognition and is irrevocable.
For equity instruments measured at
FVTOCI, all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are
recognized in Other Comprehensive
Income (OCI). There is no recycling of theamounts from OCI to Statement of Profitand Loss, even on sale of such instruments.
iv) Equity instruments included within theFVTPL category are measured at fairvalue with all changes recognized in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
C. De-recognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, apart of a financial asset or part of a groupof similar financial assets) is primarily de¬recognized (i.e. removed from the Company'sbalance sheet) when:
- the rights to receive cash flows from theasset have expired, or
- the Company has transferred its rights toreceive cash flows from the asset or hasassumed an obligation to pay the receivedcash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a 'pass¬through' arrangement, and either:
(i) the Company has transferred substantiallyall the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(ii) the Company has neither transferred norretained substantially all the risks andrewards of the asset, but has transferredcontrol of the asset.
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Companyapplies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairmentloss on trade receivables and other advances.The Company follows 'simplified approach' forrecognition of impairment loss on these financialassets. The application of simplified approachdoes not require the Company to track changesin credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairmentloss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at eachreporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Financial liabilities are classified at initialrecognition as :
(i) financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss,
(ii) loans and borrowings, payables, net ofdirectly attributable transaction costs or
(iii) derivatives designated as hedginginstruments in an effective hedge,as appropriate.
The Company's financial liabilities includetrade and other payables, loans and borrowingsincluding derivative financial instruments.
B. Subsequent measurement :
The measurement of financial liabilities dependson their classification, as described below:
(i) Borrowings: Borrowings are initiallyrecognized at fair value, net of transactioncosts incurred. Borrowings aresubsequently measured at amortized cost.Any difference between the proceeds (netof transaction costs) and the redemptionamount is recognized in the Statementof Profit and Loss over the period of theborrowings using the effective interestmethod. Fees paid on the establishment ofloan facilities are recognized as transactioncosts of the loan to the extent that it isprobable that some or all of the facilitywill be drawn down. In this case, the fee isdeferred until the draw down occurs.
Borrowings are removed from the BalanceSheet when the obligation specified in thecontract is discharged, cancelled or expired.The difference between the carryingamount of a financial liability that has beenextinguished and the consideration paid isrecognized in the Statement of Profit andLoss as other gains / (losses).
Borrowings are classified as currentliabilities unless the Company has anunconditional right to defer settlementof the liability for at least twelve monthsafter the reporting period. Where there isa breach of a material provision of a long¬term loan arrangement on or before the endof the reporting period with the effect thatthe liability becomes payable on demandon the reporting date, the entity does notclassify the liability as current, if the lenderhas agreed, after the reporting periodand before the approval of the financialstatements for issue, not to demandpayment as a consequence of the breach.
(ii) Trade and other payables: These amountsrepresent liabilities for goods and servicesprovided to the Company prior to the endof financial period which are unpaid. Theamounts are unsecured and are usuallypaid within twelve months of recognition.Trade and other payables are presentedas current liabilities unless payment isnot due within twelve months after thereporting period. They are recognizedinitially at their fair value and subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost using theeffective interest method.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments: The
Company uses derivative financialinstruments, such as foreign exchangeforward contracts to hedge its foreigncurrency risks. Such derivative financialinstruments are initially recognizedat fair value on the date on which aderivative contract is entered into andare subsequently re-measured at fairvalue at the end of each reporting period.Derivatives are carried as financialassets when the fair value is positiveand as financial liabilities when the fairvalue is negative.
Hedge accounting :
The Company designates certain hedginginstruments which include derivatives,embedded derivatives and non derivativesin respect of foreign currency risk, aseither fair value hedges, cash flow hedgesor hedges of net investments in foreignoperations. At the inception of the hedgerelationship, the Company documentsthe relationship between the hedginginstruments and the hedged item, along
with its risk management objectivesand its strategy for undertaking varioushedge transactions. Furthermore, at theinception of the hedge and on an ongoingbasis, the Company documents whetherthe hedging instrument is highly effectivein offsetting changes in fair values or cashflows of the hedged item attributable tothe hedged risk.
A financial liability is derecognized when theobligation under the liability is discharged orcancelled or expires. When an existing financialliability is replaced by another, from the samelender, on substantially different terms, or theterms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification istreated as the derecognition of the original liabilityand the recognition of a new liability. The differencein the respective carrying amounts is recognized inthe Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities areoffset and the net amount is reported in thebalance sheet if there is a currently enforceablelegal right to offset the recognized amounts andthere is an intention to settle on a net basis,to realize the assets and settle the liabilitiessimultaneously.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requiresmanagement to make judgments, estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, andthe disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty aboutthese assumptions and estimates could result in outcomesthat require a material adjustment to the carrying amount ofassets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company's accountingpolicies, management has made the following judgments,which have the most significant effect on the amountsrecognized in the financial statements:
(a) Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor;
(b) Assessment of functional currency;
(c) Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets
The preparation of the financial statements in conformitywith Ind AS requires the management to make estimates,judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgmentsand assumptions affect the application of accountingpolicies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements and reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the period. The applicationof accounting policies that require critical accountingestimates involving complex and subjective judgments andthe use of assumptions in these financial statements havebeen disclosed. Accounting estimates could change fromperiod to period. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made asmanagement becomes aware of changes in circumstancessurrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates arereflected in the financial statements in the period inwhich changes are made and, if material, their effects aredisclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the futureand other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the endof the reporting period that may have a significant risk ofcausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities within the next financial year :
a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment,investment property and intangible assets;
b) Fair value measurements of financial instruments ;
c) Impairment of non-financial assets;
d) Taxes;
e) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits);
f) Provisions;
g) Valuation of inventories;
h) Contingencies
(T) Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA") notifies new standardsor amendments to the existing standards under Companies(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from timeto time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA hasnotified Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts and amendmentsto Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leasebacktransactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1,2024.The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements andbased on its evaluation has determined that it does nothave any significant impact in its financial statements.

The Company has contracts which have fixed rentals. The Company has also taken leaseholdfactory lands on one time payment basis. The lease term is a period ranging from 30 years to 99 years.
The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:
a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date
b) Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term onthe date of initial application
c) Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
d) Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 isapplied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17
The balance sheet shows the following amounts relating to teases
e) The Company has not allotted any equity shares for consideration other than cash, issued any fully paid-up bonus shares, orbought back any shares during the five years immediately preceeding March 31, 2025

A. Factors used to identify the entity’s reportable segments, including the basis of organization
For management purposes, as the Company is in the business of manufacturing and trading of specialty petroleum products,the Company has considered petroleum products as the only business segment for disclosure in this context of IndianAccounting Standard 108.
The Managing Director (MD) evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of variousperformance indicators by operating segment. The MD reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicator for theoperating segment. However, the Company's finance (including finance cost and finance income) and income taxes are managedon a company as a whole basis and are not allocated to any segment.
For the purpose of geographical segment the sales are divided into two segments - Domestic and Overseas. The accountingpolicies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 (O)
(i) Accounting classifications
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are determined at the amount at which the instrument could be exchangedin 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:
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, short term deposits, trade payables,payables for acquisition of property, plant and equipment, short term loans from banks, financial institutions and other currentfinancial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments byvaluation technique:
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 orindirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
Risk management framework
The Company has identified financial risks and categorized them in three parts viz. (i) Credit Risk, (ii) Liquidity Risk and (iii) MarketRisk. Details regarding sources of risk in each such category and how Company manages the risk is explained in following notes:
Credit risk refers to the possibility of a customer and other counterparties not meeting their obligations and terms and conditionswhich would result into financial losses. Such risk arises mainly from trade receivables and investments. Credit risk is managedthrough internal credit control mechanism such as credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoringthe credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Companyestablishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of tradeand other receivables and investments. The maximum exposure to credit risk in case of all the financial instruments coveredbelow is restricted to their respective carrying amount.
As per the credit policy of the Company, generally no credit are given exceeding the accepted credit norms. The Company dealswith large corporate houses and State Electricity Boards after considering their credit standing. The credit policy with respectto other customers is strictly monitored by the Company at periodic intervals. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals,establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers. In addition, for amounts recoverableon exports, the Company has adequate insurance to mitigate overseas customer and country risk.
The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit losses of trade receivables (which are considered good).The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and loss allowance (including expected credit lossprovision) for trade receivables:
Note:- Impairment under expected credit loss includes H 0.14 Crore for doubtful debts P.Y. H 0.14 CroreCash and cash equivalents
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of H 32.96 Crore as at 31.3.2025 (31.3.2024: H 62.03 Crore). The cash and cashequivalents are held with banks with good credit ratings. Also, the Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits,which carry no / low mark to market risks for short duration and therefore, does not expose the Company to credit risk.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have agood credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, and does not haveany significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
The forward contracts were entered into with banks having an investment grade rating and exposure to counterparties is closelymonitored and kept within the approved limits.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations on due date. The Company has a strongfocus on effective management of its liquidity to ensure that all business and financial commitments are met on time. This is ensuredthrough proper financial planning with detailed annual business plans, discussed at appropriate levels within the organization.Annual business plans are divided into quarterly plans and put up to management for detailed discussion and an analysis of thenature and quality of the assumptions, parameters etc. Daily and monthly cash flows are prepared, followed and monitored at seniorlevels to prevent undue loss of interest and utilize cash in an effective manner. Cash management services are availed to avoid anyloss of interest on collections. In addition, the Company has adequate borrowing limits with reputed banks in place duly approved.
The Company has an adequate fund and non-fund based Limits lines with various banks. The Company's diversified sourceof funds and strong operating cash flow enables it to maintain requisite capital structure discipline. The financing productsinclude working capital loans, buyer's credit loan, supplier's credit loan etc.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows within one year
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market price. Marketrisk further comprises of (a) Currency risk , (b) Interest rate risk and (c) Commodity risk.
The Company is exposed to currency risk mainly on account of its import payables and export receivables in foreign currency.The major exposures of the Company are in U.S. dollars. The Company hedges its import foreign exchange exposure partlythrough exports and depending upon the market situations partly through forward foreign currency covers. The Companyhas a policy in place for hedging its foreign currency exposure. The Company does not use derivative financial instrumentsfor trading or speculative purposes.

Raw Material Risk
Timely availability and also non-availability of good quality base oils from across the globe could negate the qualitativeand quantitative production of the various products of the Company.
