Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, and it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation. When the Company expectssome or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expenserelating to a provision is presented in the Statement ofProfit and Loss, net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to theliability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised asa finance cost.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising frompast events and whose existence will be confirmed onlyby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within the control of theentity or a present obligation that arises from past eventsbut is not recognised because it is not probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation or the amountof the obligation cannot be measured with sufficientreliability. The Company does not recognize a contingentliability but discloses its existence in the consolidatedfinancial statements.
Contingent asset is not recognised in standalone financialstatements since this may result in the recognition ofincome that may never be realised. However, when therealisation of income is virtually certain, then the relatedasset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets arereviewed at each Balance Sheet date
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where theexpected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligationsunder the contract exceed the economic benefitsexpected to be received under it, are recognised whenit is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle a presentobligation as a result of an obligating event based on areliable estimate of such obligation.
A provision for onerous contracts is measured at thepresent value of the lower of the expected cost ofterminating the contract and the expected net cost ofcontinuing with the contract, which is determined basedon the incremental costs of fulfilling the obligation underthe contract and an allocation of other costs directlyrelated to fulfilling the contract. Before a provision isestablished, the Company recognises any impairmentloss on the assets associated with that contract
Basic Earnings Per Share (‘EPS’) is computed by dividingthe net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by theweighted average number of equity shares outstandingduring the year. Diluted earnings per share is computedby dividing the net profit (considered in determination ofBasic EPS) after considering the effect of interest andother financing costs or income (net of attributable taxes)associated with the dilutive potential equity shares by theweighted average number of equity shares considered forderiving basic earnings per share and also the weightedaverage number of equity shares that could have beenissued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equityshares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemedconverted as of the beginning of the year, unless issuedat a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share,only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that eitherreduces earnings per share or increases loss per share areincluded. The number of shares and potentially dilutiveequity shares are adjusted for bonus issue, bonus elementin a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split andreverse share split (consolidation of shares)
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, wherebynet profits before tax is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals oraccruals of past or future cash receipts or payments anditems of income or expenses associated with investing orfinancing cash flows. The cash flows from regular revenuegenerating (operating activities), investing and financingactivities of the Company are segregated.
Expenditure on research activities are expensed as and whenincurred. Development expenses which meet defined criteriafor capitalisation are capitalised if its the expenditure canbe measured reliably, the product or process is technicallyand commercially feasible, future economic benefits areprobable and the Company intends to and has sufficientresources to complete development and to use or sell theasset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditureis measured at cost less accumulated amortisation andany accumulated impairment losses. Capital expenditureincurred on research and development is capitalisedas property, plant and equipment and depreciated inaccordance with the depreciation policy of the Company.
t. Investments in subsidiaries
The Company’s investment in its subsidiaries are carriedat cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Wherean indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount ofthe investment is assessed and written down immediatelyto its recoverable amount. On disposal of investmentsin subsidiaries, the difference between net disposalproceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in theprofit or loss.
u. Events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet dateprovide evidence of conditions that existed at the end ofthe reporting period, the impact of such events is adjustedwithin the standalone financial statements. Otherwise,events after the balance sheet date of material size ornature are only disclosed.
v. Recent accounting pronouncements

April 1,2024.The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements andbased on its evaluation has determined that it does not haveany significant impact in its financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformitywith the Ind AS requires judgements, estimates and
assumptions to be made that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities on the date of the financialstatements, the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reporting period and the disclosuresrelating to contingent liabilities as of the date of thefinancial statements. Although these estimates are basedon the management’s best knowledge of current eventsand actions, uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes different from theestimates. Difference between actual results and estimatesare recognised in the period in which the results are knownor materialise. Estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accountingestimates is recognised prospectively in the current andfuture periods.
Management considers the accounting estimates andassumptions discussed below to be its critical accountingestimates and, accordingly, provide an explanationof each below. The discussion below should also beread in conjunction with the Company’s disclosureof Material accounting policies which are provided inNote 3 to the standalone financial statements, ‘Materialaccounting policies’.

Significant judgment is involved in determining theestimated future cash flows from the cash-generating unitto determine their value in use to assess whether there isany impairment in their carrying amounts as reflected inthe standalone financial statements. Refer Note 5.
Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extent towhich deferred tax assets can be recognised is basedon an assessment of the probability of the Company’s
future taxable income against which the deferred taxassets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement isrequired in assessing the impact of any legal or economiclimits. Refer Note 30.
evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairmentof assets requires assessment of several external andinternal factors which could result in deterioration ofrecoverable amount of the assets.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment/ intangibleassets: Management reviews its estimate of the usefullives of property, plant and equipment/ intangible assetsat each reporting date, based on the expected utility ofthe assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate totechnical and economic obsolescence that may changethe utility of certain software, IT equipment and other plantand equipment. Refer Note 5 and Note 6.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO): Management’sestimate of the DBO is based on a number of criticalunderlying assumptions such as standard rates ofinflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation offuture salary increases. Variation in these assumptionsmay significantly impact the DBO amount and the annualdefined benefit expenses. Refer Note 20.
Fair value measurements: Management appliesvaluation techniques to determine the fair value offinancial instruments (where active market quotes arenot available) and non-financial assets. This involvesdeveloping estimates and assumptions consistent withhow market participants would price the instrument.Management uses the best information available.Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices thatwould be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at thereporting date. Refer Note 32.
Provisions: The Company exercises judgement inmeasuring and recognising provisions and the exposuresto contingent liabilities related to pending litigation orother outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement,mediation, arbitration or government regulation, as wellas other contingent liabilities. Judgement is necessaryin assessing the likelihood that a pending claim willsucceed, or a liability will arise, and to quantify thepossible range of the financial settlement. Because ofthe inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actuallosses may be different from the originally estimatedprovision. Refer Note 20.

The Company has subscribed to a group gratuity scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Under the said policy,the eligible employees are entitled for gratuity upon their resignation, retirement or in the event of death in lumpsum afterdeduction of necessary taxes up to a maximum limit of ?2. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by anactuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund. The defined benefit plansexpose the Company to actuarial risk, interest rate risk and investment risk etc.
Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in anincrease in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of liability.
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to nonavailability of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
The Gratuity plan is administered through Group Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India ('LIC'). Everyemployee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary)for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.
The Company has determined that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the gratuity plan, and in accordance withstatutory requirements (including minimum funding requirements) of the plan of the relevant jurisdiction, the present value ofrefund or reduction in future contributions is not lower than the balance of the total fair value of the plan assets less the totalpresent value of obligations. As such, no decrease in the defind benefit asset is necessary at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024:no decrease in defined benefit asset). Project unit credit method has been used for valuation.
The discount rate indicated above reflects the estimated timing and currency of benefit payments. It is based on theyields/rates available on applicable bonds on the current valuation date.
The salary growth indicated above is the Company's best estimate of an increase in salary of the employees in futureyears, determined considering the general trend in inflation, seniority, promotion, past experience and other relevantfactors such as demand and supply in employment market etc.
Attrition rate indicated above represents the Company's best estimates of employee turnover in future (other than onaccount of retirement, death or disablement) determined considering various factors such as nature of business, retentionpolicy, industry factors, past experience etc.
Assumption regarding mortality are based on published statistics and mortality tables by Insurance Regulatory andDevelopment Authority of India.

(xi) The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 7 years (Previousyear: 11 years).
The accrual for unutilised leave is determined for the entire available leave balance standing to the credit of the employees atthe year-end. The value of such leave balances that are eligible for carry forward, is determined by an actuarial valuation asat the end of the year and is charged to the statement of profit and loss. The actual liability towards leave obligations as at31-03-2025 is ? 557 (31-03-2024: ? 480). Expense recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss under employeebenefit expense is ? 157 (31-03-2024: ? 107).

The Company’s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings from banks, trade payables and other financial liabilities. The mainpurpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets includeloans, trade receivables, other financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that derive directly fromits operations. The Company also holds certain investments in entities other than in subsidiaries.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, loans, investment in quoted and unquoteddebentures and bonds, borrowings, trade payables, other financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate theircarrying amount largely due to the nature of these instruments. The Company's loans have been contracted at market ratesof interest. Accordingly, the carrying value of such loans approximate fair value.
Level 1: The fair value of the quoted equity investments are based on market price at the reporting date.
Level 3: The Investments measured at fair value and falling under fair value hierarchy Level 3 are valued on the basis ofvaluation reports provided by valuers with the exception of certain investments, where the impact of fair valuation of investmentis considered as insignificant and hence carrying value and fair value is considered as same. The valuers have considereddiscounted cashflow method for the purpose of valuation of investments. The significant unobservable inputs involved areprimarily growth rate, discount rate and terminal growth rate. The relationship of significant unobservable value and fairvalue is as follows:
the estimated fair value will increase/(decrease) if the expected growth rate and terminal rate increases/(decreases);the estimated fair value will (decrease)/increase if the expected discount rate increases/(decreases)"
There have been no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 or vice-versa in 2024-25 and no transfers in either direction in 2023-24.
The Board of Directors of the Company has overall responsibility for the establishment and deployment of risk managementframework. The Board of Directors have adopted a Risk Policy, which empowers the management to access and monitor the riskmanagement parameters along with action taken and the same is updated to Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee of the Company oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk managementpolicies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risk faced by the Company.The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews ofrisk management controls and procedures, the result of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Market risk comprises two types of risks: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected bymarket risk include borrowings, deposits, loans, trade receivables and trade payables.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market interest rates. The Company's entire borrowings carried at amortised cost are variable rate instruments andare subject to fluctuation because of a change in market interest rates. The Company considers the impact of fair valueinterest rate risk on variable rate borrowings as not material.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changesin foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is mismatch between thecurrencies in which sales, purchase are denominated and the respective functional currencies of the Company. TheCompany exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meetits contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and loans given. Creditrisk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, 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.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographicsof the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence oncredit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoringthe creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivable using a provisionmatrix to mitigate the risk of default payment and make appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever required.
The Company has one customer who contributed more than 10% of the Company's total revenue during the current year andprevious year. The revenue from such major customer(s) during the year is ? 26,862 (31-03-2024: ?18,283) and the outstandingamount as at 31-03-2025 amounts to ? 7,308 (31-03-2024: ?6,409).
Other financial assets primarily consists of cash and cash equivalents and deposits. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalentsand deposits with banks and financial institutions are generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks andfinancial institutions who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
Investments in other than subsidiaries are strategic investments in the normal course of business of the Company. Loans torelated parties are given for business purposes. The Company reassesses the recoverability of loans periodically. Interestrecoveries from these loans are regular and there is no interest receipt defaults.
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 liquidity is toensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal andstressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis ofexpected cash flows. The Company takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entities operates. In addition,the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the levelof liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatoryrequirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are the cash flows generated from operations. The Company has no long¬term borrowings and believes that the working capital loan is sufficient for its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidityrisk is perceived.
The tables below analyse the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractualmaturities for all non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cashflows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is insignificant.
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order toprovide returns for shareholders and benefits for stakeholders. The Company also proposes to maintain an optimal capital structureto reduce the cost of capital. Hence, the Company may adjust any dividend payments, return capital to shareholders or issue newshares. Total capital is the total equity as shown in the Standalone Balance Sheet. Currently, the Company primarily monitors itscapital structure on the basis of gearing ratio. Management is continuously evolving strategies to optimise the returns and reducethe risks. It includes plans to optimise the financial leverage of the Company.
The Company is contesting the above demand including few land related claims and the management believes that itsposition will likely be upheld in the appellate process and no expenses has been accrued in the standalone financialstatements for the demand raised/ show cause notice received as the ultimate outcome of these proceedings willnot have a material adverse effect on the Company's standalone financial statements. Pending resolution of theaforesaid respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timing of cash outflows, if any, inrespect of the above.
(ii) The Company is contesting certain process and product patent infringement cases filed against it by the innovatorsin the ordinary course of business. A few of these cases pertain to products already launched by the Company in themarket. These cases are pending before different authorities / courts and most of the claims involve complex issues.The outcome from these claims are uncertain due to a number of factors involved in legal trial such as stage of theproceedings and the overall length and extent of pre-trial discovery; the entitlement of the parties to an action to appeala decision; clarity as to theories of liability; damages and governing law; uncertainties in timing of litigation; and thepossible need for further legal proceedings to establish the appropriate amount of damages, if any. Often, these issuesare subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amountof any loss is difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a majority of these claims, it is not possible to make a reasonableestimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. Further, atpresent, the management does not expect such liabilities to be significant.
(iii) The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisionsare required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its standalone financial statements.
