Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation anda reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using equivalent period government securities interest rate. Unwinding of the discount isrecognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balancesheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of whichwill be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable thatan outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Informationon contingent liabilities is disclosed in the Notes to the standalone financial statements. Contingent assets are notrecognised, but disclosed in the standalone financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtuallycertain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
t. Employee Benefits
A) Short term employee benefits: All employee benefits payable within twelve months from the end of the periodin which services are rendered are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, shortterm compensated absences, etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which theemployee renders the related service.
i. Defined contribution plans: The Company's superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund and familypension scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/ payable under the schemes, is recognisedduring the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Provident Fund and family pension fund contributions are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss asincurred. The Company's contribution to the statutory provident fund and family pension fund is determined basedon a fixed percentage of the eligible employees' salary and charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss onaccrual basis. The Company does not have any obligation other than the contribution made to the fund administeredby the government.
ii. Gratuity: The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligibleemployees. The plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and provides lumpsum payment to eligibleemployees at retirement, death while in employment or termination of the employment of an amount equivalent to 15days salary payable for each completed year of service. The Company has established two trusts, one each for its staffand officers and makes contributions to such funds for funding these plans.
The Company has computed its liability towards future payments of gratuity to employees, on actuarial valuation basiswhich is determined based on projected unit credit method and the charge for current year is debited to the standalonestatement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising on the measurement of defined benefit obligation andexperience adjustments are charged/ credited to other comprehensive income. All other costs/reversals are recognisedin the standalone statement of profit and loss.
C) Compensated absences: The Company provides for the encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certainrules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment/availment.The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation by an actuary, using theprojected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising on the measurement of defined benefit obligation ischarged/ credited to the standalone statement of profit and loss. The Company presents the entire leave liablity as acurrent liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 monthsafter the reporting date.
u. Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within standalone statement of profit and loss from ordinary activities are of suchsize, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period,the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
v. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss (excluding other comprehensive income) forthe year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during theyear. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonusissue, bonus element in a right issue, shares split and reverse share splits (consolidation of shares) that have changedthe number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculatingdiluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss (excluding other comprehensive income) for the year attributable toequity share holders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for theeffects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
w. Operating cycle and classification of current and non - current items
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets andtheir realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as a period not exceeding12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
(i) An asset is considered as current when it is:
a. Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, or
b. Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
c. Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d. Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at leasttwelve months after the reporting period.
(ii) All other assets are classified as non-current.
(iii) Liability is considered as current when it is:
a. Expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, or
c. Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after thereporting period.
(iv) All other liabilities are classified as non-current"
x. Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net oftax, from the proceeds.
y. Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates,assumptions and exercise judgement in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amount of assets,liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of standalone financial statements and the reported amountsof income and expenses during the year.
The management believes that these estimates are prudent and reasonable and are based upon the management'sbest knowledge of current events and actions. Actual results could differ from these estimates and differences betweenactual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known or materialised.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a comparatively higher degree of judgement or complexity,and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to bedifferent than those originally assessed.
i) Property, plant and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets:
Property, plant and equipment represents a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The chargein respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assets expected useful life andthe expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Company's assets aredetermined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financialyear end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, whichmay impact their life, such as changes in technology.
ii) Income tax:
Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including the amount expected to bepaid or recovered in connection with uncertain tax positions."
iii) Contingencies:
Management has estimated the possible outflow of resources at the end of each annual reporting financial year, if any,in respect of contingencies / claim / litigations by / against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome ofpending matters with accuracy.
On application of Ind AS 109, the impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk ofdefault and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgments in making these assumptions and selecting theinputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history of collections, customer's credit-worthiness,existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
v) Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realisationof deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which thosetemporary differences and tax loss carry forwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal ofdeferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred taxassets considered realisable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income duringthe carry forward period are reduced.
vi) Impairment of financial assets:
At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, existing market conditionsas well as forward looking estimates, the management assesses the expected credit losses on outstanding receivables.Further, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including thedefault risk associated with industry and country in which the customer operates."
vii) Impairment of non financial assets:
Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount (fair value less costs of disposal or itsvalue in use), the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value inuse, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair valueless cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, anappropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fairvalue indicators.
viii) Defined benefit obligation:
The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligationsare based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discountrate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-termnature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewedat each reporting date.
ix) Leases:
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee - Ind AS 116requires the lessee to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periodscovered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an optionto terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company appliesjudgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminatethe lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewalor termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant eventor change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option torenew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to theleased asset).When it is reasonably certain to exercise extension option and not to exercise termination option, theCompany includes such extended term and ignores termination option in determination of lease term.
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowingrate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The Company has taken indicative rates from its bankers and used them for IndAS 116 calculation purposes.
Provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate cannot be made.Provisions (excluding retirement obligation and compensated expenses) are not discounted to its present value andare determined based on best estimate of the amount required to settle obligation at the balance sheet date. Theseare reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
xi) Fair value measurements:
Management applies valuation techniques to determine fair value of financial assets and liabilities (where active marketquotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions around volatility and dividend yield etc.which may affect the value of financial assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated.These are based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that may have afinancial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
xii) Impairments of assets:
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amounts of each asset (in case of non-financialassets) based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relatesto assumptions about future cash flows and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
xiii) Allowances for slow / Non-moving Inventory and obsolescence:
An allowance for Inventory is recognised for cases where the realisable value is estimated to be lower than the inventorycarrying value. The inventory allowance is an estimate taking into account various factors, including prevailing salesprices of inventory item and losses associated with usability/ obsolete / slow-moving / redundant inventory items. TheCompany has, based on these assessments, made adequate provision in the books.
xiv) Overhead Costing:
Management has applied critical estimates and judgements in the calculation of the Machine Hour Rate (MHR) foroverhead costing. These estimates are based on data received, including machine-wise operating hours, utilized hours,power consumption, and labour details. Management reviews and adjusts these estimates on monthly basis to ensurethey reflect the most current and reliable information available.
Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated. These are based on historical experience and other factorsincluding expectation of future events that may have financial impact on the company and are believed to be reasonableunder the circumstances.
z. Events after report date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of thereporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Where the events are indicativeof conditions that arose after the reporting period, the amounts are not adjusted, but are disclosed if those non¬adjusting events are material.

(*) Net of impairment, if any
I. Fair value hierarchy-
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an assetor paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instrumentsthat are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values aredisclosed in the standalone financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used indetermining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under theaccounting standard. An explanation of each level follows below.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equityinstruments that have quoted market price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds,over-the- counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable marketdata and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrumentare observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included inlevel 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
During the periods mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
Significant valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(i) The fair values for investments in equity instrument and mutual fund are based on the quoted market prices.Fair values of security deposits, loans are based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate determinedconsidering Company's incremental borrowing rate. Non current borrowings are fair valued using effective interestrates.
(ii) Fair valuation of interest rate swap and foreign currency option contracts are calculated on the basis of estimatedmid-market levels, estimated bid-side or offer side levels, or on the basis of indicative bid or offer or unwind pricesor on such other appropriate basis. It is derived from other proprietary or other pricing models based on certainassumptions.
(iii) Fair valuation of forward exchange contracts are determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheetdate.
(iv) The carrying value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balance other than cash and cashequivalents, loans, other current financial assets, borrowings, lease liabilities, trade payables, other currentfinancial labilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value and hence they have not beendisclosed under tables above.
III. Valuation process
The finance department performs the calculations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reportingpurposes. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO). Discussions of valuation processes and resultsare held between the CFO and the finance team at least once every three months, in line with the quarterly reportingperiods.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The mainpurpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principalfinancial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, investments and cash and cash equivalents thatderive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior managementoversees the management of these risks.
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) andfrom its financing activities (deposits with banks and other financial instruments).
Credit risk management
Trade receivables
To manage credit risk, the Company follows a policy based on industry norms. The credit limit policy isestablished considering the current economic trends of the industry in which the company is operating.However, the trade receivables are monitored on a periodic basis for assessing any significant risk of non¬recoverability of dues and provision is created accordingly.
The Company periodically monitors the recoverability and credit risks of its other financial assets. TheCompany evaluates 12 months expected credit losses for all the financial assets for which credit risk hasnot increased significantly. In case credit risk has increased significantly, the Company considers life timeexpected credit losses for the purpose of impairment provisioning.
The Company has considered financial condition, current economic trends, forward looking macroeconomicinformation, analysis of historical bad or doubtful receivables and ageing of receivables related to cashand cash equivalents, bank balances and other financial assets. In most of the cases, risk is consideredlow since the counterparties are reputed organisations with no history of default to the Company and nounfavourable forward looking macro economic factors. Wherever applicable, expected credit loss allowanceis recorded.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time orat a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities -borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk management
The Company's corporate finance department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as settlementmanagement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cashflows.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractualundiscounted payments (except lease liabilities) at each reporting date:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: Foreign currency risk, interest rate risk andprice risk.
(1) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on their receivables, payables which are held in USD, EUR, ThaiBaht, CHF and JPY. The Company's exposure arises mainly on import of raw material and capital items and export offinished goods. The Company follows a policy of matching of import and export exposures (natural hedge) to reducethe net exposure in any foreign currency. Whenever the natural hedge is not available or is not fully covering theforeign currency exposure of the Company, management uses certain derivative instruments to manage its exposureto the foreign currency risk. Foreign currency transactions are managed within approved policy parameters. TheCompany uses forward contracts, options and cross currency swap to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk.The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as cash flowhedges.
Hedge ineffectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospectiveeffectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedginginstrument. The economic relationship and hedge effectiveness are based on the qualitative factors and the use ofa hypothetical derivative where appropriate.
The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk and notionalamount of the hedging instruments are identical to the hedged items.
The Company's interest rate risk is mainly due to the borrowing acquired at floating interest rate. The Company'spolicy is to maintain most of its borrowing at fixed rate using interest rate swaps to hedge the exposure. During theyear ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, the Company's borrowing at variable rate were mainly denominatedin INR and USD.
The fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost, hence they are not subject to interest rate risk since thecarrying amount and future cash flows will not fluctuate because of change in market interest rates.
(i) Risk management
The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concernand to optimise returns to its shareholders.
The capital structure of the Company is based on management's judgement of the appropriate balance of keyelements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. Management considers the amount of capital inproportion to risk and manages the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the riskcharacteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as tomaintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business.The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
The KMP's are covered under the Company's gratuity policy, leave encashment policy and bonus policy along withother eligible employees of the Company. Proportionate amount of gratuity and compensated absences expensesand provision for gratuity and compensated absences, which are determined actuarially are not mentioned in theaforementioned disclosures as these are computed for the Company as a whole.
The carrying amount of assets pledged as security for current and non-current borrowings of the Company are asfollows:
(i) The Company is contesting all of the above demands in respect of Income tax, Sales tax, Value added taxand Local body tax and the management believes that its positions are likely to be upheld at the appellatestage. No expense has been accrued in the standalone financial statements for the aforesaid demands. Themanagement believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings are not expected to have a materialadverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations and hence no provision has beenmade in this regard.
(ii) The above disclosure has been made on the basis of information available with the Company.
