m) Provisions and contingent liabilities:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that the Company will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the bestestimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period,taking into account the risks and uncertaintiessurrounding the obligation. When a provision ismeasured using the cash flows estimated to settle thepresent obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows (when the effect of the timevalue of money is material). When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage of timeis recognised as a finance cost.
When some or all of the economic benefits required tosettle a provision are expected to be recovered from athird party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if itis virtually certain that reimbursement will be receivedand the amount of the receivable can be measuredreliably.
A contingent liability is:-
a) a possible obligation that arises from past eventsand whose existence will be confirmed only bythe occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the entity; or
b) a present obligation that arises from past eventsbut is not recognised because:-
i) it is not probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation; or
ii) the amount of the obligation cannot bemeasured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
• a present obligation arising from past events,when it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation;
• a present obligation arising from past events,when no reliable estimate is possible;
• a possible obligation arising from past events,unless the probability of outflow of resources isremote.
A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assetsare reviewed at each balance sheet date.
n) Retirement and other employee benefits:
Post-employment benefits
• Payments to defined contribution benefit plansare recognised as an expense when employeeshave rendered service entitling them to thecontributions. For defined benefit retirementplans, the cost of providing benefits is determinedusing the projected unit credit method, withactuarial valuations being carried out at the endof each annual reporting period. Remeasurement,comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effectof the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable)and the return on plan assets (excluding netinterest), is reflected immediately in the balancesheet with a charge or credit recognised in othercomprehensive income in the period in whichthey occur. Remeasurement recognised in othercomprehensive income is not reclassified tostatement of profit and loss. Past service costis recognised in statement of profit and loss inthe period of a plan amendment. Net interestis calculated by applying the discount rate atthe beginning of the period to the net definedbenefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs arecategorised as follows:
• Service cost (including current service cost,past service cost, as well as gains and losses oncurtailments and settlements);
• Net interest expense or income; and
• Re-measurement.
The Company presents the first two componentsof defined benefit costs in statement of profit andloss in the line item "Employee benefits expense”,and the last component in Other ComprehensiveIncome. Curtailment gains and losses areaccounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised inthe balance sheet represents the actual deficitor surplus in the Company's defined benefitplans. Any surplus resulting from this calculationis limited to the present value of any economicbenefits available in the form of refunds from theplans or reductions in future contributions to theplans.
Terminal benefits
A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at theearlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw theoffer of the termination benefit and when the entityrecognises any related restructuring costs.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruingto employees in respect of wages and salaries,performance incentives and similar benefits other thancompensated absences in the period the related serviceis rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefitsexpected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of compensatedabsences are measured on the basis of actuarialvaluation as on the balance sheet date.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-termemployee benefits are measured at the present valueof the estimated future cash outflows expected to bemade by the Company in respect of services providedby employees up to the reporting date.
o) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing theprofit/loss attributable to the owners of the Companyby the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used indetermination of basic earnings per share to take intoaccount the after income tax effect of interest and otherfinancing costs associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and the weighted average number of additionalequity shares that would have been outstandingassuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equityshares.
p) Operating segment
Identification of segment - Operating segments arereported in the manner consistent with the internalreporting provided to the Chief Operating DecisionMaker (CODM) of the Company.
Segment accounting policies - The Board of Directorsof the Company have been identified as the ChiefOperating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined underInd AS 108. CODM reviews overall financial informationof the Company together for performance evaluationand allocation of resources and does not review anydiscrete information to evaluate performance of anyindividual product or geography.
The Company prepares its segment informationin conformity with accounting policies adopted forpreparing and presenting the financial statements ofthe Company as a whole.
q) Onerous contracts
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, thepresent obligation under the contract is recognised andmeasured as a provision. However, before a separateprovision for an onerous contract is established, theCompany recognises any impairment loss that hasoccurred on assets dedicated to that contract.
An onerous contract is a contract under which theunavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Companycannot avoid because it has the contract) of meetingthe obligations under the contract exceed theeconomic benefits expected to be received under it.The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect theleast net cost of exiting from the contract, which is thelower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensationor penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The costof fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relatedirectly to the contract (i.e., both incremental costsand an allocation of costs directly related to contractactivities).
r) Key sources of estimation uncertainty and criticalaccounting judgements
In the course of applying the accounting policies, theCompany is required to make judgements, estimatesand assumptions about the carrying amount ofassets and liabilities that are not readily apparentfrom other sources. The estimates and associatedassumptions are based on historical experienceand other factors that are considered to be relevant.Actual results may differ from these estimates.The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewedon an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognized in the period in which the estimate isrevised if the revision affects only that period, or in theperiod of the revision and future period, if the revisionaffects current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment,intangible assets, investment property andright-of-use assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property,plant and equipment at least once a year. Suchlives are dependent upon an assessment of boththe technical lives of the assets and also theirlikely economic lives based on various internaland external factors including relative efficiencyand operating costs. Refer Note 2 and 30 forfurther disclosure.
b) Property, plant and equipment, intangible assetsand investment property
Determining whether the property, plant andequipment are impaired requires an estimatein the value in use of cash generating units.It requires to estimate the future cash flowsexpected to arise from the cash generating unitsand a suitable discount rate in order to calculatepresent value. When the present value of the cashflows are less than carrying value of property,plant and equipment a material impairment lossmay arise. Refer Note 2 for further disclosure.
c) Impairment of investments in and loan given tosubsidiaries and joint ventures
Determining whether the investments in andloan given to subsidiaries and joint ventures areimpaired requires an estimate of the value in use/ recoverable amount of assets. In consideringthe value in use / recoverable amount of assets,the Management have anticipated the futurecash flows, discount rates and other factors ofthe underlying businesses/companies. In certaincases, the Company engages third party qualifiedvaluers to perform the valuation. The managementworks closely with the qualified external valuersto establish the appropriate valuation techniquesand inputs to the model. Refer Note 5, 6, and 39for further disclosure.
d) Provisions, liabilities and contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in theperiod when it becomes probable that there will
be a future outflow of funds resulting from pastevents that can reasonably be estimated. Thetiming of recognition requires application ofjudgement to existing facts and circumstanceswhich may be subject to change.
In the normal course of business, contingentliabilities may arise from litigation and otherclaims against the Company. Potential liabilitiesthat are possible but not probable of an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits aretreated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilitiesare disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.Refer Note 37 for further disclosure.
e) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused taxlosses to the extent that it is probable that taxableprofit will be available against which the losses canbe utilized. Significant management judgement isrequired to determine the amount of deferred taxassets that can be recognised, based upon thelikely timing and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies. ReferNote 8 for further disclosure.
f) Employee benefit plans
The cost of defined benefit gratuity plan andother post-employment benefits are determinedusing actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuationinvolves making various assumptions that maydiffer 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 valuationand its long-term nature, a defined benefitobligation is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewed ateach reporting date.
The mortality rate is based on publicly availablemortality tables for India. Those mortality tablestend to change only at interval in response todemographic changes. Future salary increasesand gratuity increases are based on expectedfuture inflation rates. Refer Note 28 and 41 forfurther disclosure.
g) Lease
The application of Ind AS 116 requires Companyto make judgements and estimates that affectthe measurement of right-of-use assets andliabilities. In determining the lease term, theCompany consider all facts and circumstancesthat create an economic incentive to exerciserenewal options (or not exercise terminationoptions). Assessing whether a contract includesa lease also requires judgement. Estimates arerequired to determine the appropriate discountrate used to measure lease liabilities.
The Company cannot readily determine theinterest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it usesits incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measurelease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest thatthe Company would have to pay to borrow over asimilar term, and with a similar security, the fundsnecessary to obtain an asset of a similar valueto the right-of-use asset in a similar economicenvironment. The IBR therefore reflects whatthe Company 'would have to pay', which requiresestimation when no observable rates are availableor when they need to be adjusted to reflect theterms and conditions of the lease. The Companyestimates the IBR using observable inputs (suchas market interest rates) when available and isrequired to make certain entity-specific estimates.Refer Note 45 for further disclosure.
h) Recoverability of trade receivables
Judgements are required in assessing therecoverability of overdue trade receivables anddetermining whether a provision against thosereceivables is required. Factors consideredinclude the credit rating of the counterparty, theamount and timing of anticipated future paymentsand any possible actions that can be taken tomitigate the risk of non-payment. Refer note 11for further disclosure.
i) Inventories
"Inventories are reviewed on a regular basisand the Company make allowance for agedor obsolete inventories and write down to net
realizable value primarily based on historicaltrends and management estimates of expectedand future product demand and related pricing.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost andnet realisable value. Judgements are requiredin assessing the expected realisable values ofInventories. Factors considered includes demandlevels and pricing competition in the industry.Refer note 10 for further disclosure.

ii) Defined benefit plans:a) Gratuity Plan:
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completedfive years of service is entitled to specific benefit. though the gratuity liability is recognised from the date theemployee commences service, regardless of whether the employee has completed five years of continuousservice. The level of benefits provided depends on the member's length of service and salary at retirementage.
The Company makes annual contribution to the Employee's Company Gratuity Assurance Scheme, a fundeddefined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Fund invests in the scheme of insurance with the LifeInsurance Corporation of India, IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company Limited, SBI Life Insurance CompanyLimited and Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company Limited. The scheme provides for lump-sum payment tovested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amountequivalent to fifteen day's salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of sixmonths.
The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, longevity risk and salaryrisk.
Interest risk : The plan exposes the Company to the risk off all in interest rates. A fall in interest rates willresult in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase inthe value of the liability.
Longevity Risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the bestestimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the lifeexpectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increaserate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participantsfrom the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on theplan's liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligationwere carried out at March 31, 2026 by KP Actuaries and Consultants LLP. The present value of the definedbenefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the ProjectUnit Credit Method as per Ind AS 19.

43 Capital Management and Financial Management Framework:
The Company being in a working capital intensive industry, its objective is to maintain a strong credit rating, healthyratios and establish a capital structure that would maximize the return to stakeholders through optimum mix of debtand equity.
The Company's capital requirement is mainly to fund its capex, working capital, repayment of principal and intereston its borrowings. The principal source of funding of the Company has been, and is expected to continue to be, cashgenerated from its operations supplemented by funding from bank borrowings and the capital markets. The Company isnot subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and therequirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt dividedby total capital plus net debt. Since net worth of the Company is negative, debt equity ratio is not calculated.
The key risks associated with day to day operations of the Company and working capital management are given below:
A. Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customercontract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables and otherfinancial assets.
i) Trade Receivables:
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit riskhas been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuouslymonitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal courseof business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assessthe impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix and forward-looking information and anassessment of the credit risk over the expected life of the financial asset to compute the expected credit lossallowance for trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited.
ii) Other Financial Assets & loans
The Company has limited credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents as the deposits are maintainedwith banks and financial institutions with high credit rating. Hence, these are low risk items and the Companyevaluates the recoverability of these financial assets at each reporting date and wherever required, a provisionis created against the same.
The Company had in earlier years given loans to its subsidiaries/a Company in which erstwhile directors wereinterested of ' 1,465.99 crore, which are fully provided for in the books. The net exposure of ' 194.46 croreis with respect of one wholly-owned subsidiary whereby the Company has impaired to the extent of the fairvaluation of the subsidiary's investment properties / inventories.
B. Market Risk:
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 of three types of risks - interest rate risk, currency risk and otherprice risk in a fluctuating market environment. Financial instrument affected by market risks includes loans andborrowings, deposits, derivatives and other financial assets.
i) Currency Risk
The Company's functional currency is Indian Rupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactions denominatedin foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Volatility in exchange ratesaffects the Company's revenue from export markets and the costs of imports. The Company has exportsand to that extent has a natural hedge as a mitigation measure to cover foreign exchange risk on account ofimports/expenses in foreign currency. The Company hedges its foreign currency risk by entering into forwardcontracts.
5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personneland represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates.
