Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (Legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only whenthe reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in theStatement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the bestestimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects its present value, that reflects the current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Contingent liabilitiesare disclosed for (i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not whollywithin the control of the Company or (ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is notprobable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimateof the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
The Company has ongoing disputes with Tax Authorities on various matters which are pendingbefore appellate authorities. In this regard, the management evaluates whether it has any uncertaintax position requiring adjustments to provision for taxes. Depending on probability of successin the matter before the Appellate Authorities, a provision is created or a Contingent liability isdisclosed.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements as this may result in the recognitionof income that may never be there.
Financial assets and financial Liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs thatare directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset and financial liabilities(other than financial asset and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are addedto or deducted from the fair value of the financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, oninitial recognition. Transactions costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial asset andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statementof Profit and Loss.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a tradedate basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets (except trade receivables) are subsequently measured at eitheramortised cost or fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensiveincome, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets are not reclassifiedsubsequent to their recognition, except during the period the Company changes its business modelfor managing financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortisedcost:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order or collectcontractual cash flows; and
b) The contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that does not meet the above conditions are subsequently measured at fairvalue. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved byboth, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensiveincome. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Afinancial asset not classified as either amortised cost or Fair Value through OCI, is classifiedas Fair Value through Profit or loss.
The effective interest is a method calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument andof allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the ratethat exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debtinstrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount in initialrecognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. Interest income isrecognised in Statement of Profit and Loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financialassets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receivecash or other financial asset.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks ofdefault occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cashflows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows thatthe Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractualterms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options)through the expected life of that financial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal tothe lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has notincreased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance forthat financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-monthexpected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent thelifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reportingdate and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash, the Company always measuresthe loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for tradereceivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. Thisexpected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes intoaccount historical credit loss experience with adjusted for forward-looking information.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flowsfrom the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risksand rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers norretains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control thetransferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associatedliability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all of the risks andrewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise thefinancial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carryingamount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain orloss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity isrecognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Company allocates theprevious carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recogniseunder continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relativefair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carryingamount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the considerationreceived for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to itthat had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had beenrecognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to berecognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values ofthose parts.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in thatforeign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.
For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost, the exchangedifferences are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
m. Financial liabilities and equity instrumentsClassification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial Liability or asequity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of afinancial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entityafter deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company is recognised at theproceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly inequity. No gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issueor cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod.
Financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss, loans, borrowings and trade payables, as appropriate.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at fair value throughprofit or loss are measured at amortised cost at the end of the subsequent accounting period.The carrying amount of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost aredetermined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as partof costs of an asset is included in the "Finance costs" in the Statement of Profit and loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liabilityand of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the ratethat exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financialliability, or, (where appropriate), a shorter period, to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortisedcost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determinedbased on the amortised cost of the instrument and are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial liability when, and only when, the Company's obligationsare discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments withsubstantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liabilityand the recognition of a new liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of anexisting financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liabilityand the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financialliability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in Statement of Profitand Loss.
n. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided tothe Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocatingresources and assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company.
o. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise cash and cheques inhand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks where the original maturity is three months orless and other short term highly liquid investments.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax attributableto the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding duringthe period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, otherthan the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity sharesoutstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the year attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period isadjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q. Claims
Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts are disclosed after a careful evaluation ofthe facts and legal aspects of the matter involved.
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising of assets and liabilities are classified as ‘held forsale’ if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sales rather than throughcontinuing use. Subsequently, such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held forsale are measured at lower of its carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Losses on initialclassification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognisedin profit and loss. Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.
a. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifyingassets, which are assets that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for itsintended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets aresubstantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in whichthey are incurred.

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, the directors ofthe Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associatedassumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only thatperiod, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision if it affects both current andfuture periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Where level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages thirdparty qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The Management works closely with the qualifiedexternal valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of variousassets and liabilities is disclosed in Note 31.

Significant actuarial assumptions of the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate,expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analyses below have been determinedbased on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of thereporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation woulddecrease by ' 489 lakhs (increase by ' 526 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: decrease by ' 429 lakhs(increase by ' 461 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation wouldincrease by ' 476 lakhs (decrease by ' 449 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: increase by ' 431 lakhs(decrease by ' 406 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the other benefit obligation would decreaseby ' 24 lakhs (increase by ' 26 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: decrease by ' 20 lakhs (increase by '23 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the other benefit obligation wouldincrease by ' 25 lakhs (decrease by ' 23 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: increase by ' 22 lakhs(decrease by ' 20 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decreaseby ' 16 lakhs (increase by ' 17 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: decrease by ' 14 lakhs (increase by ' 12lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligationwould increase by ' 14 lakhs (decrease by ' 13 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: increase by ' 13 lakhs(decrease by ' 12 lakhs)).
If the expected life expectancy increases (decreases) by 1 year, the defined benefit obligation wouldincrease by ' 11 lakhs (decrease by ' 11 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: increase by ' 10 lakhs (decreaseby ' 10 lakhs)).
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (Lower), the other benefit obligation would decreaseby ' 19 lakhs (increase by ' 20 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: decrease by ' 17 lakhs (increase by ' 18lakhs)).
If the expected gold inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the other benefit obligation wouldincrease by ' 20 lakhs (decrease by ' 19 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2024: increase by ' 18 lakhs (decreaseby ' 17 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of thedefined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolationof one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefitobligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as at the end of thereporting year, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligationliability recognised in the Balance Sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysisfrom prior years.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximisingthe return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the equity balance. Equity share capital and otherequity are considered for the purpose of company's capital management.

The Company's risk management committee manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in lightof changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjustthe capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return on capital toshareholders or issue new shares.
Current financial asset and current financial Liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carryingamounts due to their short-term nature. Non current financial assets and non current financial liabilitieshave fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts as it is based on the net present value of theanticipated future cash flows.
The Company’s overall policy with respect to managing risks associated with financial instruments is tominimise potential adverse effects of financial performance of the Company. The policies for managingspecific risks are summarised below.
A. Market Risk
(i) Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company's borrowings are fromgroup companies, the exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is minimal. The Companyhas not used any interest rate derivatives.
(ii) Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposuresto exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policyparameters.
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies stated above.
The following table details impact to profit or loss of the Company by sensitivity analysis of a 10%increase and decrease in the respective currencies against the functional currency of the Company.10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key managementpersonnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible changes in foreignexchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominatedmonetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change on foreign currencyrates.
(iii) Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changesin market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not haveany investments in equity instruments and bonds.
B. Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting infinancial loss to the Company.
Trade Receivables
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company’s customerbase being large and diverse. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of the counterparty’sfinancial position as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss arising from defaults. The Companyonly grants credit to creditworthy counterparties.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any groupof counterparties having similar characteristics as disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements.Other financial assets
Other financial assets include employee loans, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, depositswith bank etc. Based on historical experience and credit profiles of counterparties, the Company doesnot expect any significant risk of default.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for each of the above categories of financial assets istheir carrying values.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have interestbearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company hasnot used any interest rate derivatives.
(ii) Other price risk management
C. Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitmentsassociated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.The Company maintains adequate highly liquid assets in the form of cash to ensure necessary liquidity.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financialstatements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate thatthe carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received orsettled.
