The Company has generallyconcluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements as it typically controls the goodsor services before transferring them to the customer.
Revenue is adjusted for variable consideration such as discounts, rebates, refunds, credits,price concessions, incentives, or other similar items in a contract when they are highlyprobable to be provided. The amount of revenue excludes any amount collected on behalf ofthird parties. The Company recognises revenue generally at the point in time when theproducts are delivered to customer or when it is delivered to a carrier for export sale, which iswhen the control over product is transferred to the customer. In contracts where freight isarranged by the Company and recovered from the customers, the same is treated as aseparate performance obligation and revenue is recognised when such freight services arerendered In revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Companyaccounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct - i.e. if a product orservice is separately identifiable from other items in the arrangement and if a customer canbenefit from it. The consideration is allocated between separate products and services in thearrangement based on their stand-alone selling prices. Revenue from sale of by products areincluded in revenue. Revenue from sale of power is recognised when delivered and measuredbased on the bilateral contractual arrangements.
r) Contract balances
i. Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred tothe customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer beforethe customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised forthe earned consideration.
ii) Trade receivables
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered and to the extent that it has anunconditional contractual right to receive cash or other financial assets (i.e., only the passageof time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables isderecognised when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the asset to another party including discounting of bills on a non-recourse basis.
iii) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which theCompany has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from thecustomer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services tothe customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due(whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Companyperforms under the contract including Advance received from Customer.
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (orreceivable) from the customer and is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expectsit will have to return to the customer including volume rebates and discounts. The Companyupdates its estimates of refund liabilities at the end of each reporting period.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive payment has beenestablished.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amountoutstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is netted off from interest cost underthe head “Interest Cost (Net)” in the statement of profit and loss.
t) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifyingassets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for theirintended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets aresubstantially ready for the intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending theirexpenditure on qualifying assets is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Discounts or premiums and expenses on the issue of debt securities are amortized over the term ofthe related securities and included within borrowing costs. Premiums payable on early redemptionsof debt securities, in lieu of future finance costs, are recognized as borrowing costs.
All other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which it is incurred.
u) Income Tax:
Income tax expense comprises current tax and the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilitiesduring the year. Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, exceptwhen they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or directly inequity, in which case the related tax is also recognised in OCI or directly in equity respectively.
Current Tax
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, determined inaccordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Company has opted for theconcessional tax regime under section 115BAA of the Act, and accordingly, current tax is computedusing the tax rate prescribed under this regime. The current tax charge is measured based on taxlaws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arisingbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferredtax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will beavailable against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits, and unused taxlosses can be utilised.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset isrealised or liability is settled, considering the Company's continued option to be taxed under section115BAA. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reducedto the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised when theirrecovery becomes reasonably certain.
Offsetting
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset currenttax assets against current tax liabilities, and when they relate to income taxes levied by the sametaxation authority on the same taxable entity. Current tax assets and liabilities are also offset whenthe Company intends to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.
v) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit or loss for the year attributable to equityholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid-upshares are included as fully paid equivalents according to the fraction paid up.
Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares and dilutivepotential shares except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
w) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to thechief operating decision maker.
The Board of directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makerwhich reviews and assesses the financial performance and makes the strategic decisions.

z) Significant Events after the Reporting Period
The Company has evaluated events occurring after the reporting date up to the date of approval ofthese financial statements by the Board of Directors, May 28, 2025. There were no events thatrequire adjustment to, or disclosure in, these financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 10Events after the Reporting Period.
New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company (whereverapplicable) effective from April 1,2023:
Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existingstandards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.During the year ended March 31,2025, MCA has notified Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts andamendments to Ind As 116 - Leases, relating to sale and lease back transactions, applicable fromApril 1, 2024. The Company has assessed that there is no significant impact on its financialstatements.
On May 9, 2025, MCA notifies the amendments to Ind AS 21 - Effects of Changes in ForeignExchange Rates. These amendments aim to provide clearer guidance on assessing currencyexchangeability and estimating exchange rates when currencies are not readily exchangeable. Theamendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1,2025. The Company iscurrently assessing the probable impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with measurement principle of Ind ASrequires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates,judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amountsof assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accountingestimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes incircumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates arerecognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their effects aredisclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and criticaljudgments and the use of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below. Thekey assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation/assumptions at thebalance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets and liabilities and related revenue impact within the next financial year arediscussed below:
a) Depreciation/amortization and impairment loss against property, plant and equipment /intangible assets.
Property, plant and equipment, ROU Assets and Intangible Assets are depreciated/ amortized onstraight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term if shorter) taking into account theestimated residual value, wherever applicable. The company reviews its carrying value of itsTangible and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired.
The required level of impairment losses to be made is estimated by reference to the estimated valuein use or recoverable amount. In such situation Assets' recoverable amount is estimated which ishigher of asset's or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use.In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount ratewhich reflect the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost ofdisposal, recent market realisations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactionsappropriate valuations are adopted. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives and residuallife of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortization and alsoamount of impairment expense to be recorded and/or to be reversed during any reporting period.Subsequent reassessment or review may result in change of estimates in future periods.
b) Arrangement contain leases and classification of leases
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non- cancellable period of a leaseadjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonablycertain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basisand thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any option to extend or terminate thecontract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as anysignificant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to thetermination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the company's operationstaking into account among other things, the location of the underlying asset and the availability ofsuitable alternatives. The lease terms and impact thereof are reassessed in each year to ensure thatthe lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
c) Impairment loss on trade receivables
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables areimpaired and determines the amount of impairment loss as a result of the inability of the debtors tomake required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivablesbalance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience.
d) Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO)
Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standardrates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated byIndependent Actuary appointed for this purpose. Variation in these assumptions may significantlyimpact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
e) Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be afuture outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow canbe reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires theapplication of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management uses in-house and external legal professional to make judgment for estimating thepossible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/litigations/ against theCompany as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewedregularly and revised to taking into account changing facts and circumstances.
The company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.10/- per share.Each holder of equity share is entitled to one vote per share.
In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled toreceive the assets of the company, in proportion to the number of equity shares held by theshareholders.

This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Company andprovides additional information on balance sheet items that contain financial instruments.
The details of material accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, basis ofmeasurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized in respect of eachclass of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3(ix), to thefinancial statements.
(a) Financial assets and liabilities
The following tables present the carrying value and fair value of each category of financial assetsand liabilities as at March 31,2025 and March 31,2024.
(b) Fair Valuation Techniques
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paidto transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, current financial liabilities andborrowings approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. TheBoard considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the financialstatement approximate their fair value.
ii. Long-term debt has been contracted at floating rates of interest, which are reset at short intervals. Fair value ofvariable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying value of such long-term debt approximates fair valuesubject to adjustments made for transaction cost.
iii. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs includingcurrency spot and forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc. These derivatives are estimated by using thepricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters basiscontractual terms, period to maturity, and maturity parameters such as foreign exchange rates and volatility. Thesemodels do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significantjudgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management hasevaluated the credit and a non-performance risk associated with the counterparties and believes them to beinsignificant and not requiring any credit adjustments.
(C) Fair value hierarchy
The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels depending on the ability toobserve inputs employed in their measurement which are described as follows:
During the year ended March 31,2025 and March 31,2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 andLevel 2 fair value measurements. There is no transaction / balance under level 3.
The fair value of liquid mutual funds is based on quoted price.
Derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities inactive markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. The inputs usedunder level II market valuation technique for forward contracts are Forward foreign currency exchangerates and Interest rates to discount future cash flow.
38. DERIVATIVES ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:
The Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives to hedgeits exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets / liabilities.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters intoforeign currency derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company followsestablished risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchangeforward / option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency.
As per the hedging policy of the Company, all foreign currency exposures that are due in the next 12months are either hedged or based on the technical assessment of foreign currency movementagainst the INR and the premium charged for the hedging, the same might be left un-hedged so asto avail maximum financial benefit to the company.
