2.13 ProvisionsAccounting Policy
A provision is recognised when, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, it is probablethat an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date.Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is determined by discounting the expected futurecash flows using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an out¬flow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
(1) The Company has received an advance amount towards the proposed sale of its equity investment in Binny New Re Energy Limitedin accordance with the terms mutually agreed upon with the buyer. The transfer of shares and completion of the transaction areexpected to be effected upon fulfilment of the necessary conditions.
Pending completion of the transaction, the amount received has been classified as an advance under Other Liabilities in the financialstatements as at the reporting date. The Company expects the transaction to be completed in the subsequent financial year.

2.16 Revenue recognitionAccounting Policy
Revenue is recognised upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers or joint venture partners, in an amountthat reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange, in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115 - Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers.
The Company's primary sources of revenue include the sale of parcels of land, rental income from investment properties, andparticipation in real estate development projects undertaken through joint venture arrangements. Under such arrangements, theCompany contributes land to a developer responsible for construction, marketing, and sale of the developed property. In return, theCompany is entitled to a share of the sale proceeds or a fixed consideration, depending on the specific terms of the joint ventureagreement.
Revenue from Rentals
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement in accordance with the respective leasecontracts. The Company recognises rental revenue when the right to receive payment is established, reflecting the pattern of benefitsderived from the leased property.
Revenue from Sale of Parcels of Land
Revenue from the sale of parcels of land is recognised at the point in time when the significant risks and rewards of ownership havebeen transferred to the buyer, which is generally upon execution and registration of the Sale Deed. This timing reflects the transfer ofcontrol of the land as required by Ind AS 115.
Revenue from Joint Venture Development agreements
Under the Joint Development Arrangements model, the Company's performance obligation relates to transferring its share of landrights in the project to ultimate buyers.
Although the land is handed over to the developer for the purpose of construction and development, such transfer does not, by itself,constitute satisfaction of a performance obligation, as the developer is not considered a customer under Ind AS 115 and control overthe land has not yet transferred to the end customer.
Accordingly, the Company recognises revenue only when the developed property (or the portion attributable to the Company's shareof land) is sold to the end customer and the sale deed is executed.
At that point, control over the relevant portion of land and constructed area is transferred, and the Company's right to considerationbecomes enforceable.
Revenue is therefore recognised at a point in time, measured with reference to the consideration receivable as per the terms of the JDA.Contract Modification and Impact on Revenue Recognition
During the financial year 2025-26, the Company and its joint-venture partner amended the commercial terms of their existingdevelopment arrangement on 6 August 2025, prior to the approval of these financial statements. The amendment replaced the earlierrevenue-share model, under which the Company was entitled to a specified percentage of the sale proceeds from each unit sold bythe developer, with a fixed-consideration model whereby the Company will receive a predetermined amount in full settlement of itsentitlement from the project.
The Company evaluated this amendment in accordance with the provisions of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customersand concluded that it constitutes a contract modification as described in paragraphs 20 and 21 of the Standard. The modificationdoes not introduce any additional or distinct goods or services and continues to relate to the same performance obligation, namelythe transfer of the Company's share of land rights in the project to end customers. Accordingly, the modification has been treated asa continuation of the existing contract, and the accounting has been adjusted prospectively.
In accordance with Ind AS 115, the Company has Updated the transaction price to the fixed amount stipulated in the amendedcontract;
Applied the cumulative catch-up approach to reflect the effect of the change in transaction price on revenue recognised to date; and
Continued to recognise revenue over time in proportion to the satisfaction of its performance obligation, which is linked to the sale ofdeveloped property to end customers and the corresponding transfer of control to those customers."
Revenue under the amended arrangement is therefore recognised on a measure-of-progress basis, determined with reference to theextent of development progress and sale of units to end customers during the reporting period.
The above modification represents a change in the contractual terms and not in the Company's accounting policy. Accordingly, theeffect of this amendment has been accounted for prospectively in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, withno restatement of comparative figures.
The Company has made appropriate disclosures in accordance with paragraphs 116 to 127 of Ind AS 115, covering the nature ofthe modification, the method used to measure progress, and the significant judgments involved in determining the timing of revenuerecognition.
2.17 Other incomeAccounting PolicyInterest Income
The Company earns interest income from fixed deposits with banks. Interest income is accrued over time based on the amountoutstanding and the applicable rate of interest. The Company recognises such income in the financial statements as and when theyaccrue.
Lease Rent
Lease rent income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 116 -Leases, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the leased asset is diminished.
2.18 Purchases of stock in trade
The Company is engaged in the real estate business, and the purchases of stock-in-trade represent the acquisition of land intended forsale in the ordinary course of business.
Such purchases include the cost of land acquisition, stamp duty, registration charges, and other directly attributable expenses incurredto bring the land to its present condition and location for intended sale.
No other trading goods are purchased by the Company. Accordingly, the entire balance under Purchases of Stock-in-Trade relatesexclusively to land acquisitions during the year.
(1) Represents stock transferred from Mohan Breweries and Distilleries Limited pursuant to the resolution passed at the Extra-OrdinaryGeneral Meeting. As the stock has not been sold till date and its value is considered to have diminished over time, the Company hasrecognised a full provision for the same during the current financial year.
2.20 Employee benefitsAccounting Policy
Employee benefits are recognised in the financial statements when the employee has rendered service in exchange for such benefitsand the Company has a present obligation to make the payment, either legally or constructively, as a result of past events.
Employee benefits are classified into short-term benefits, post-employment benefits (comprising defined contribution and definedbenefit plans), and other long-term benefits.
Short-Term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits include salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia, and compensated absences expected to be settled whollywithin twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service.
These benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is rendered. A liability is recognised for theamount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service.
Provident Fund
Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from the government-administered provident fund scheme, which is a definedcontribution plan under Indian law. Both the employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund at aspecified percentage of the employee's salary, in accordance with the provisions of the Employees' Provident Funds and MiscellaneousProvisions Act, 1952.The Company's obligation with respect to this plan is limited to the amount of contributions made. Thecontributions are remitted regularly to the Government authorities, and the Company has no further obligation for future fund shortfallsor performance of the fund beyond its statutory contribution. Accordingly, the Company recognises such contributions as an expensein the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period during which the employees render the related service.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company's contributions to provident fund and other defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are recognised as anexpense in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period during which the employees render the related services.
Once the contributions are made, the Company has no further payment obligations. The Company's liability in respect of such plansis limited to the amount of contribution required to be made as per the applicable laws and rules.
Contributions payable to the provident fund are recognised as liabilities when due and are charged to the Statement of Profit and Losson an accrual basis.
Defined Benefit plans
The Company's obligation towards gratuity constitutes a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet for definedbenefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date, less the fair value of plan assets, if any.
The defined benefit obligation is determined using the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method, as mandated by Ind AS 19. The PUCmethod considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separatelyto build up the final obligation.
The valuation is carried out by an independent qualified actuary at each Balance Sheet date.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest ratesof government securities that have terms consistent with the estimated term of the obligation.
Actuarial gains and losses, arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions, are recognised immediately inOther Comprehensive Income (OCI) and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss underEmployee Benefits Expense.
(1) Discount rate for this valuation is based on government bonds having similar term to duration of liabilities. Due to lack of a deepand secondary bond market in India, government bond yields are used to arrive at the discount rate.
(2) The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the company, considering factors such as, the company's pastcompensation revision trends, inflation in respective markets and management's estimate of future salary increases.
(3) Attrition rate considered as the management's estimate based on the past long term trend of employee turnover in the Company. Thetenure has been considered taking into account the past long term trend of employees' average remaining service life which reflectsthe average estimated term of post employment benefit obligations.
Market Risk (Discount rate)
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. The discount ratereflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits &vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposedto fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Longevity Risk
The impact of longevity risk will depend on whether the benefits are paid before retirement age or after . Typically for the benefits paidon or before the retirement age , the longevity risk is not very material.
Actuarial Risk
Salary Increase Assumption : Actual Salary increase that are higher than the assumed salary escalation , will result in increase to theObligation at a rate that is higher than expected
Attrition/Withdrawal Assumption : If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rates, the benefits will be paid ear¬lier than expected. Similarly if the actual withdrawal rates are lower than assumed, the benefits will be paid later than expected. Theimpact of this will depend on the demography of the company and the financials assumptions.
Regulatory Risk
Any Changes to the current Regulations by the Government, will increase (in most cases) or Decrease the obligation which is notanticapated. Sometimes, the increase is many fold which will impact the financials quite significantly.
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Companweighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed bythe net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares consicderiving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issuconversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receiv.the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutiveequity shares are deemed converted as at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity sdetermined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for asplits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of C

2.24 Income taxesAccounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extentthat it relates to items recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income or equity, in which case it is recognised in those respectivestatements.
Income Tax
Current tax represents the amount of income tax payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable income or loss for the year.
It is measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the Income-tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax lawsenacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Current tax relating to prior periods is recognised as an adjustment to the amount of current tax in the period in which the assessmentor decision is finalised.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognisedamounts and intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amountsin the financial statements.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised fordeductible temporary differences, unused tax credits, and carry-forward of unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that futuretaxable income will be available against which these can be utilised.
Deferred tax is not recognised for
temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination andthat affects neither accounting nor taxable profit at the time of the transaction and
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries or associates when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differencescan be controlled and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by theBalance Sheet date and that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
The effect of a change in tax rates or tax laws on deferred tax balances is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the periodthat includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxbenefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that itbecomes probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Measurement and Presentation
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilitiesand if the deferred tax balances relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to itemsrecognised directly in equity or OCI, in which case the tax is also recognised in those statements.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arisesfrom past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

These expenses were identified/crystallised during the current year and, based on management's assessment,do not represent correction of a prior period error under Ind AS 8. Accordingly, these have been recognised in the Statement of Profitand Loss for the year ended 31 March 2024 under the relevant expense heads and comparative figures have not been restated.
2.30 Events after the reporting period
Subsequent to the year ended 31 March 2024 and prior to the approval of these standalone financial statements, the Companyentered into an amendment / settlement agreement dated 6 August 2025 with one of its joint development partners in relation to thearbitration proceedings and Phase I of the project. The agreement provides for receipt of an additional ' 30,000 lakhs, over and above' 62,351.95 lakhs received up to 31 March 2024, and revises the commercial terms including the methodology of consideration/revenue sharing.
The Company has considered the above as an adjusting event in accordance with Ind AS 10, as the settlement/amendment providesadditional evidence of conditions that existed as at 31 March 2024 (including the rights and obligations under the joint developmentarrangement and the dispute pending as at the reporting date). Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the amounts recognised inthese standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The related impact has been disclosed in the relevant noteon Revenue from Operations.
2.31 Capital Management
The Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, convertible preference shares, share premium and allother equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Company's capital management isto maximise the shareholder value.
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain futuredevelopment of the business. Management monitors the return on capital. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance betweenthe higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capitalposition.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'adjusted equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is definedas total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted equity comprises allcomponents of equity other than amounts accumulated in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. the Company's adjusted net debtto equity ratio at the respective dates (mentioned below) was as follows:
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meetsfinancial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches inmeeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.
2.32 The Company has not prepared consolidated financial statements for the reporting period, as the financial statements of thesubsidiary have not been prepared for the period. Accordingly, the Company has presented only standalone financial statements andhas not consolidated the financial results of the subsidiary.
