Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, 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. If the effect of the time value ofmoney is material, the amount of a provision shall be thepresent value of expense expected to be required to settlethe obligation Provisions are therefore discounted, wheneffect is material, The discount rate shall be pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessment of time value of moneyand risk specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount isrecognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a financecost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date andare adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possibleobligation arising from past events, the existence of whichwill be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrenceof one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company or a present obligation thatarises from past events where it is either not probable thatan outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliableestimate of the amount cannot be made. Informationon contingent liability is disclosed in the Notes to theFinancial Statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the entity,Contingent assets are not recognized, but are disclosedin the notes.

In the previous year, the Company had applied the belowamendments to Ind ASs that are effective for an annualperiod that begins on or after April 1,2020.
The Company has adopted the amendments to Ind AS1 and Ind AS 8 for the first time in the previous year. Theamendments make the definition of material in Ind AS1 easier to understand and are not intended to alter theunderlying concept of materiality in Ind ASs. The conceptof 'obscuring' material information with immaterial
information has been included as part of the new definition.
The threshold for materiality influencing users has beenchanged from 'could influence' to 'could reasonably beexpected to influence' The definition of material in IndAS 8 has been replaced by a reference to the definition ofmaterial in Ind AS 1. In addition, the NCA amended otherstandards that contain the definition of 'material' or refer tothe term 'material' to ensure consistency.
The adoption of the amendments has not had any materialimpact on disclosures or on the amounts reported in thesestandalone financial statements.
The preparation of the Company's financial statementsrequires management to make judgements, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanyingdisclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at thedate of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptionsare continuously evaluated and are based on management'sexperience and other factors, including expectations offuture events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates couldresult in outcomes that require a material adjustmentto the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected infuture periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areaswhere significant judgements, estimates and assumptionsare required. Further information on each of these areasand how they impact the various accounting policiesare described below and also in the relevant notes to thefinancial statements. Changes in estimates are accountedfor prospectively.
In the process of applying the company's accountingpolicies, management has made the following judgements,which have the most significant effect on the amountsrecognized in the financial statements:
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinarycourse of business in relation to claims against thecompany, including legal, contractor, land accessand other claims. By their nature, contingencies willbe resolved only when one or more uncertain futureevents occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the
existence, and potential quantum , of contingenciesinherently involves the exercise of significantjudgments and the use of estimates regarding theoutcome of future events.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can berecognized is based on an assessment of theprobability that future taxable income will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differencesand tax loss carry-forward can be utilized. In addition,significant judgement is required in assessing theimpact of any legal or economic limits or uncertaintiesin various tax jurisdictions.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other keysources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date thathave a significant risk of causing a material adjustment tothe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextfinancial year, are described below.
The Company based its assumptions and estimates onparameters available when the financial statements wereprepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions aboutfuture developments, however, may change due to marketchange or circumstances arising beyond the control of theCompany. Such changes are reflected in the assumptionswhen they occur.
The Company reviews its estimate of the useful livesof property ,plant & equipment at each reporting date,based on the expected utility of the assets.
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post¬employment benefits and the present value of suchobligation are determined using actuarial valuations.An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actual developmentsin the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate,future salary increases, mortality rates and futurepension increases. In view of the complexities involvedin the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed ateach reporting date.
The Company estimates the net realizable values ofinventories, taking into account the most reliableevidence available at each reporting date. The futurerealization of these inventories may be affected byfuture technology or other market-driven changesthat may reduce future selling prices.
When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets,their fair value is measured using valuation techniquesincluding the DCF model. The inputs to these modelsare taken from observable markets where possible,but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgmentis required in establishing fair values. Judgementsinclude considerations of inputs such as liquidityrisk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptionsabout these factors could affect the reported fair valueof financial instruments.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standardsor amendments to the existing standards under Companies(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time totime.

The Company is engaged in manufacturing and trading of UPVC,CPVC,HDPE Pipes and Fittings. Information is reported to andevaluated regularly by the Chief Operational Decision Maker (CODM) i.e. Managing Director for the purpose of resource allocationand assessing performance focuses on the business as whole . The CODM reviews the Company's performance focuses on the analysisof profit before tax at an overall entity level. Accordingly, there is no other separate reportable segment as defined by IND AS 108"Operating Segments".
The company has an obligation towards gratuity, unfunded defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. Theplan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of theemployment of an amount equivalent to 15 days/ one month salary, as applicable, payable for each completed year of service orpart thereof in excess of six months in terms of Gratuity scheme of the company or as per payment of Gratuity Act, whichever ishigher. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount risk whichis determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. Currently, for the plan inIndia, it has relatively balanced mix of investments in Insurance related products.
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the returnon the plan's debt .
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of planparticipants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase theplan's liability.
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, anincrease in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to the employees.
In respect of the plan in India, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefitobligation were carried out as at March 31,2025 by an actuary.

Level 1: Quoted prices in the active market. This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quotedprices in the active market. This category consists of quoted equity shares and debt based open ended mutual funds.
Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs other than quotedprices included within Level 1 that are observable for such items, either directly or indirectly. This level of hierarchy consists of debtbased close ended mutual fund investments and over the counter (OTC) derivative contracts.
Level 3: Valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs that are notbased on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair value determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based onassumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instruments nor based onavailable market data. The main item in this category are unquoted equity instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets are determined at the amount that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transactionbetween market participants. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Investments in debt mutual funds: Fair value is determined by reference to quotes from the financial institutions, i.e.. Net asset value(NAV) for investments in mutual funds declared by mutual fund house.
Quoted equity investments: Fair value is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.
Unquoted equity investments: Fair value is derived on the basis of income approach, in this approach the discounted cash flow methodis used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of these investments.
I he company's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the company. I hese risks includemarket risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The management reviews cash resources, implements strategies for foreign currency exposures and ensuring market risk limitand policies.
The company enters into Financial Instruments including Derivative Financial Instruments to minimize any adverse effect in its financialperformance due to foreign exchange risk.
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a changein the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as result of changes in interest rates, foreigncurrency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
The Company's functional currency in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactions denominated in the foreigncurrencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Volatility in exchange rates affects the Company's revenuefrom export markets and the costs of imports, primarily in relation to raw material. The Company is exposed to exchange rate riskunder its trade and debt portfolio.
Adverse movements in the exchange rate between the Rupee and any relevant foreign currency result's in the increase inthe Company's overall debt positions in Rupee terms without the Company having incurred additional debt and favorablemovements in the exchange rates will conversely result in reduction in the Company's receivable in foreign currency. In order tohedge exchange rate risk, the Company has a policy to hedge cash flows up to a specific tenure using forward exchange contractsand options. In respect of imports and other payables, the Company hedges its payable as when the exposure arises.
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 clients, including outstanding accountsreceivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managingcounterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties,taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
"The Company has a liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term sourcesof funding vis-a-vis short term and long term utilization requirement. This is monitored through a rolling forecast showing theexpected net cash flow, likely availability of cash and cash equivalents, and available undrawn borrowing facilities.
