3.20 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets
Provisions are recognised only when there is a present legal orconstructive obligation, as a result of past events, it is probablethat an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimateof the amount of obligation can be made at the reportingdate. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting dateand adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisionsare discounted to their present values, where the time value ofmoney is material.
• Possible obligations that arise from past events and whoseexistence will only be confirmed by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more future events not whollywithin the control of the Company or
• Present obligations arising from past events where itis not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate ofthe amount of the obligation cannot be made unless theprobability of outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits is remote.
• Contingent assets are not recognised. However,when inflow of economic benefit is probable, relatedcontingent asset is disclosed.

3.22 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments suchas investments in mutual funds, at fair value at eachbalance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell anasset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measuredor disclosed in the standalone financial statements arecategorised within the fair value hierarchy, described asfollows, based on the lowest level input that is significantto the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company hasdetermined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis ofthe nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liabilityand the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
3.23 Financial instruments
All financial assets except trade receivables arerecognised initially at fair value. Transaction coststhat are attributable to the acquisition of the financialasset, which are not at fair value through profit andloss, are added to fair value on initial recognition.Transaction costs of financial assets carried atfair value through profit or loss are expensed instatement of profit and loss.
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the effective interestmethod if it is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold the asset in orderto collect contractual cash flows and thecontractual terms of the financial asset giverise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through othercomprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fairvalue through other comprehensive income if itis held within a business model whose objectiveis achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flows and selling financial assets and thecontractual terms of the financial asset giverise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in anyof the above categories are subsequently fairvalued through the statement of profit and loss.
The Company assesses on a forward looking basisthe expected credit losses (ECL) associated withits assets measured at amortised cost and assetsmeasured at fair value through other comprehensiveincome. The impairment methodology applieddepends on whether there has been a significantincrease in credit risk. Note 46 details how theCompany determines whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk.
A financial asset is derecognised when:
- The contractual rights to the cash flows fromthe financial asset has expired or
- The Company has transferred the right toreceive cash flows from the financial assets or
- Retains the contractual rights to receive thecash flows of the financial assets, but assumesa contractual obligation to pay the cash flowsto one or more recipients.
Where the entity transfers the financial asset, itevaluates the extent to which it retains the riskand rewards of the ownership of the financialassets. If the company transfers substantiallyall the risks and rewards of ownership of thefinancial asset, the entity shall derecognise thefinancial asset and recognise separately as assetsor liabilities any rights and obligations createdor retained in the transfer. If the companyretains substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset, the entity shallcontinue to recognise the financial asset.
Where the company has neither transferred afinancial asset nor retained substantially all risksand rewards of the ownership of the financialasset, the financial asset is derecognised ifthe Company has not retained control of thefinancial asset. Where the Company retains
control of the financial assets, the asset iscontinued to be recognised to the extent ofcontinuing involvement in the financial asset.
AH financial liabilities are recognized initially at fairvalue and in case of borrowings and payables, net ofdirectly attributable cost.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading andare not designated as at fair value through profit orloss are subsequently carried at amortized cost usingthe effective interest method. For trade and otherpayables maturing within one year from the balancesheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fairvalue due to the short maturity of these instruments.Changes in the amortised value of liability arerecorded as finance cost.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when,and only when, the Company's obligations aredischarged, cancelled or have expired.
In determining the fair value of its financialinstruments, the Company uses a variety of methodsand assumptions that are based on market conditionsand risks existing at each reporting date. The methodsused to determine fair value include discountedcash flow analysis, available quoted market prices.AH methods of assessing fair value result in generalapproximation of value, and such value may varyfrom actual realization at a future date.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the balance sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settlethe liabilities simultaneously.
3.24 Significant accounting judgements, estimates andassumptions
The preparation of the Company's standalone financialstatements requires management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities andthe related disclosures and the disclosure of contingentliabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilitiesaffected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other keysources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustmentto the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial year, are described below. The Companybased its assumptions and estimates on parametersavailable when these standalone financial statementswere prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptionsabout future developments, however, may change due tomarket changes or circumstances arising that are beyondthe control of the Company. Such changes are reflectedin the assumptions as and when they occur.
The cost of the defined benefit plan and otherpost-employment benefits and the present valueof such obligation are determined using actuarialvaluations. An actuarial valuation involves makingvarious assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salaryincreases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due tothe complexities involved in the valuation and itslong-term nature, a defined benefit obligation ishighly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Allassumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Management judgment is required for the calculationof provision for income - taxes and deferred taxassets and liabilities. The Company reviews ateach balance sheet date the carrying amount ofdeferred tax assets. The factors used in estimatesmay differ from actual outcome which could leadto adjustment to the amounts reported in thesestandalone financial statements.
Management reviews its estimate of the useful livesof depreciable/amortizable assets at each reportingdate, based on the expected utility of the assets.
Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technicaland economic obsolescence that may change theutility of certain property, plant and equipment.
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and arestated at their normal value as reduced by appropriateallowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.Individual trade receivables are written off whenmanagement deems them not to be collectible.Impairment is recognised based on the expectedcredit losses, which are the present value of the cashshortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
Management applies valuation techniques todetermine the fair value of financial instruments(where active market quotes are not available)and non-financial assets. This involves developingestimates and assumptions consistent with howmarket participants would price the instrument.Management bases its assumptions on observabledata as far as possible but this is not always
available. In that case management uses the bestinformation available. Estimated fair values mayvary from the actual prices that would be achievedin an arm's length transaction at the reporting date(refer note 46).
The evaluation of applicability of indicators ofimpairment of assets is based on assessment of severalexternal and internal factors which could result indeterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
In case of customers where meter reading dates forbilling is not matching with reporting date, the gassales between last meter reading date and reportingdate has been accrued by the Company based onpast average sales. The actual sales revenue may varycompared to accrued unbilled revenue so includedin Sale of natural gas and classified under currentfinancial assets.

(b) Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities have not been set off against each other
The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position inaccordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on thesignificance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has thefollowing levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input tothe fair value measurement. There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025.
The financial assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as on31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 as follows:
During the current & previous year, the investments in mutual funds have been fair valued per net asset value (NAV) as at reporting date.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be thesame as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
Security deposits received have not been fair valued as the same are repayable on demand, so there is no fixed term available for thepurpose of discounting. Further, security deposits given have not been fair valued as the impact of the fair valuation is not material.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact of thesame in the financial statements.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk mainly through its purchases of capital items from overseas suppliersin various foreign currencies.

b) The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was 9% p.a. withmaturity between 2020 - 2042.
c) Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset toanother party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only becancelled by incurring a substantive termination fee. The Company is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying leasedassets as security. For leases over office buildings and factory premises the Company must keep those properties in a goodstate of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the lease.
e) Some of the leases contain extension and termination options. Such options are considered in the determination ofthe lease term only if extension or non-termination can be assumed with reasonable certainty. On this basis, therewere no such amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities as at March 31, 2025 and as at March, 31 2024.There are no leases entered by the Company which have any purchase options and the payment of lease rentals is not basedon variable payments which are linked to an index.
