A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event,the Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation that can be estimated reliably, and it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation. Provisions aredetermined by discounting the expected futurecash flows (representing the best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the present obligationat the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised asfinance costs. Expected future operating losses arenot provided for.
Onerous contracts:
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expectedeconomic benefits to be derived by the Companyfrom the contract are lower than the unavoidablecost of meeting its obligations under the contract.The provision for an onerous contract is measured atthe present value of the lower of the expected cost ofterminating the contract and the expected net cost ofcontinuing with the contract. Before such a provision ismade, the Company recognises any impairment loss onthe assets associated with that contract.
Contingencies:
Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating toclaims, litigations, assessments, fines and penalties arerecognised when it is probable that a liability has beenincurred and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets:
A contingent liability exists when there is a possiblebut not probable obligation, or a present obligationthat may, but probably will not, require an outflowof resources, or a present obligation whose amountcannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities donot warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless thepossibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets has to be recognised in thestandalone financial statements in the periodin which if it is virtually certain that an inflow ofeconomic benefits will arise. Contingent assets areassessed continually and no such benefits werefound for the current financial year.
Basic Earnings Per Share (‘EPS') is computed bydividing the net profit attributable to the equityshareholders by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the year. Dilutedearnings per share is computed by dividing the netprofit by the weighted average number of equityshares considered for deriving basic earnings pershare and also the weighted average number ofequity shares that could have been issued uponconversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.Dilutive potential equity shares are deemedconverted as of the beginning of the year, unlessissued at a later date. In computing diluted earningsper share, only potential equity shares that aredilutive and that either reduces earnings per shareor increases loss per share are included. The numberof shares and potentially dilutive equity shares areadjusted retrospectively for all periods presented forthe share splits.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby net profit/ (loss) before tax is adjustedfor the effects of transactions of a non-cash natureand any deferrals or accruals of past or future cashreceipts or payments and item of income or expensesassociated with investing or financing cash flows.The cash flows from regular revenue generating(operating activities), investing and financingactivities of the Company are segregated.
The Company considers all highly liquid financialinstruments, which are readily convertible into knownamounts of cash that are subject to an insignificantrisk of change in value and having original maturitiesof three months or less from the date of purchase,to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalentsconsist of balances with banks which are unrestrictedfor withdrawal and usage.
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured atfair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include theminimal transportation charges for transporting thecattle to the market but excludes finance costs andincome taxes. Changes in fair value of livestock arerecognised in the statement of profit and loss. Costssuch as vaccination, fodder and other expenses areexpensed as incurred.
Where events occurring after the balance sheet dateprovide evidence of conditions that existed at the endof the reporting period, the impact of such events isadjusted within the standalone financial statements.Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date ofmaterial size or nature are only disclosed.
S. Leases:
The Company assesses at contract inceptionwhether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, ifthe contract conveys the right to control the use ofan identified asset for a period of time in exchangefor consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition andmeasurement approach for all leases, except forshort-term leases and leases of low-value assets.The Company recognises lease liabilities to makelease payments and right-of-use assets representingthe right to use the underlying assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at thecommencement date of the lease (i.e., the date theunderlying asset is available for use). Right-of-useassets are measured at cost, less any accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses, and adjustedfor any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Thecost of right-of-use assets includes the amountof lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costsincurred, and lease payments made at or beforethe commencement date less any lease incentivesreceived. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on astraight-line basis over the shorter of the lease termand the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to theCompany at the end of the lease term or thecost reflects the exercise of a purchase option,depreciation is calculated using the estimated usefullife of the asset
The right-of-use assets are also subject toimpairment. Refer to the accounting policies insection (f) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the commencement date of the lease, the Companyrecognises lease liabilities measured at the presentvalue of lease payments to be made over the lease
term. The lease payments include fixed payments(including in substance fixed payments) less anylease incentives receivable, variable lease paymentsthat depend on an index or a rate, and amountsexpected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments,the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate atthe lease commencement date because the interestrate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.After the commencement date, the amount of leaseliabilities is increased to reflect the accretion ofinterest and reduced for the lease payments made.In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilitiesis remeasured if there is a modification, a changein the lease term, a change in the lease payments(e.g., changes to future payments resulting from achange in an index or rate used to determine suchlease payments) or a change in the assessment of anoption to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company applies the short-term leaserecognition exemption to its short-term leases ofmachinery and equipment (i.e., those leases thathave a lease term of 12 months or less from thecommencement date and do not contain a purchaseoption). It also applies the lease of low-value assetsrecognition exemption to leases of offices, godowns,equipment, etc. that are of low value. Lease paymentson short-term leases and leases of low-value assetsare recognised as expense on a straight-line basisover the lease term.
Leases in which the Company does not transfersubstantially all the risks and rewards incidental toownership of an asset are classified as operatingleases. Rental income arising is accounted for ona straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initialdirect costs incurred in negotiating and arranging anoperating lease are added to the carrying amount ofthe leased asset and recognised over the lease termon the same basis as rental income. Contingent rentsare recognised as revenue in the period in whichthey are earned.
An operating segment is a component of theCompany that engages in business activities fromwhich it may earn revenues and incur expenses,whose operating results are regularly reviewedby the company's Chief Operating Decision Maker(“CODM”) to make decisions for which discretefinancial information is available. The Company's
operating businesses are organized and managedseparately according to the nature of products andservices provided, with each segment representinga strategic business unit that offers differentproducts and serves different markets. Based on themanagement approach as defined in Ind AS 108, theCODM evaluates the Company's performance andallocates resources based on an analysis of variousperformance indicators by business segments andgeographic segments
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for saleand discontinued operations Non-current assets (ordisposal group) are classified as held for sale if theircarrying amount will be recovered principally througha sale transaction rather than through continuinguse and sale is considered highly probable. Theyare measured at the lower of carrying amount orfair value less cost to sell, except for assets such asdeferred tax assets, assets arising from employeebenefits, financial assets and contractual rightsunder insurance contracts, which are specificallyexempt from this requirement. An impairment loss isrecognized for any initial or subsequent write-downof the asset (or disposal group) to fair value lesscost to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequentincrease in the fair value less cost to sell of anyasset (or disposal group), but not in excess of anycumulative impairment loss previously recognized. Again or loss not previously recognized by the dateof the sale of the non-current asset (or disposalgroup) is recognized at the date of de-recognition.Non-Current assets (including those that are part ofa disposal group) are not depreciated or amortisedwhile they are classified as held for sale. Interestand other expenses attributable to the liabilities ofa disposal group classified as held for sale continueto be recognised. Non-current assets classifiedas held for sale and the asset of a disposal groupclassified as held for sale are presented separatelyfrom the other assets in the balance sheet. Theliabilities of disposal group classified as held forsale are presented separately from other liabilitiesin the balance sheet. A discontinued operations is acomponent of the entity that has been disposed ofor is classified as held for sale and that representsa separate major line of business or geographicalarea of operations, is a part of a single co-ordinatedplan to dispose of such line of business or area ofbusiness of operations, or is a subsidiary acquiredexclusively with a view of resale.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments
(i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
(iv) Commodity Price RiskRisk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's riskmanagement framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks facedby the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.

(i) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter-party failure to repay or service debt according to thecontractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration ofcreditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The entities within the Company have a policy of dealing only with creditworthy counter parties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk of financialloss from defaults. Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist oftrade receivables, loans receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents, derivatives provided by the Company. Noneof the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk. The carrying value of financialassets represents the maximum credit risk.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Thedemographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates,also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limitsand continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normalcourse of business.
To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on theasset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonableand supportive forwarding-looking information. The Company observes: actual or expected significant adverse changesin business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the customer's ability tomeet its obligations.
The Company also establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected credit losses inrespect of trade receivables.
Cash and bank balances:
Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as the company generally transacts with banks and financial institutionswith high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
Impairment of financial assets

The Company's corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well assettlement management. 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 cash flows.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the priceof a financial instrument . The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates,foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that effect market risksensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including deposits,foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof change in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relatesprimarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. As the Company has debtobligations with floating interest rates, exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are substantiallydependent of changes in market interest rates.

These defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks as under:
a. Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by referenceto market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
b. Interest rate risk
Decrease in bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this shall be partially off-set by increase in returnas per debt investments.
c. Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality ofplan participants.
An increase in the life expectancy will increase the plan's liability.
d. Salary risk
Higher than expected increase in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
