Provisions are recognised when the Companyhas a present obligation (legal or constructive)as a result of a past event, it is probable that theCompany will be required to settle the obligation,and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the bestestimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent 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 settlethe present obligation, its carrying amount is thepresent value of those cash flows (when the effectof the time value of money is material). Whendiscounting is used, the increase in the provisiondue to the passage of time is recognised as afinance cost.
When some or all of the economic benefits requiredto settle a provision are expected to be recoveredfrom a third party, a receivable is recognised as an
asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursementwill be received and the amount of the receivablecan be measured reliably.
a) a possible obligation that arises from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence ofone or more uncertain future events not whollywithin the control of the entity; or
b) a present obligation that arises from pastevents but is not recognised because:-
i) it is not probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation; or
ii) the amount of the obligation cannot bemeasured with sufficient reliability.
• a present obligation arising from past events,when it is not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle theobligation;
• 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 resourcesis remote.
A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
m) Retirement and other employee benefits:
Post-employment benefits
• Payments to defined contribution benefitplans are recognised as an expense whenemployees have rendered service entitlingthem to the contributions. For defined benefitretirement plans, the cost of providing benefitsis determined using the projected unit creditmethod, with actuarial valuations beingcarried out at the end of each annual reportingperiod. Remeasurement, comprising actuarialgains and losses, the effect of the changes tothe asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return
on plan assets (excluding net interest), isreflected immediately in the balance sheetwith a charge or credit recognised in othercomprehensive income in the period in whichthey occur. Remeasurement recognised inother comprehensive income is not reclassifiedto statement of profit and loss. Past servicecost is recognised in statement of profit andloss in the period of a plan amendment. Netinterest is calculated by applying the discountrate at the beginning of the period to the netdefined benefit liability or asset. Definedbenefit costs are categorised as follows:
• Service cost (including current service cost,past service cost, as well as gains and losseson curtailments 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 calculationi s limited to the present value of any economicbenefits available in the form of refunds from theplans or reductions in future contributions to theplans.
A liability for a termination benefit is recognised atthe earlier of when the entity can no longer withdrawthe offer of the termination benefit and when theentity recognises any related restructuring costs.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruingto employees in respect of wages and salaries,performance incentives and similar benefits otherthan compensated absences in the period therelated service is rendered at the undiscountedamount of the benefits expected to be paid inexchange 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 presentvalue of the estimated future cash outflowsexpected to be made by the Company in respect ofservices provided by employees up to the reportingdate.
n) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividingthe profit/loss attributable to the owners of theCompany by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure usedin determination of basic earnings per share to takeinto account the after income tax effect of interestand other financing costs associated with dilutivepotential equity shares, and the weighted averagenumber of additional equity shares that would havebeen outstanding assuming the conversion of alldilutive potential equity shares.
Identification of segment - Operating segmentsare reported in the manner consistent with theinternal reporting provided to the Chief OperatingDecision Maker (CODM) of the Company.
Segment accounting policies - The Board ofDirectors of the Company have been identified asthe Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) asdefined under Ind AS 108. CODM reviews overallfinancial information of the Company together forperformance evaluation and allocation of resourcesand does not review any discrete information toevaluate performance of any individual product orgeography.
The Company prepares its segment informationin conformity with accounting policies adopted forpreparing and presenting the financial statementsof the Company as a whole.
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, thepresent obligation under the contract is recognisedand measured as a provision. However, before
a separate provision for an onerous contractis established, the Company recognises anyimpairment loss that has occurred on assetsdedicated 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 underit. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflectthe least net cost of exiting from the contract,which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and anycompensation or penalties arising from failure tofulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprisesthe costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e.,both incremental costs and an allocation of costsdirectly related to contract activities).
q) 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 assumptionsare reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions toaccounting estimates are recognized in the periodin which the estimate is revised if the revisionaffects only that period, or in the period of therevision and future period, if the revision affectscurrent 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 ofproperty, plant and equipment at least oncea year. Such lives are dependent upon anassessment of both the technical lives of theassets and also their likely economic livesbased on various internal and external factorsincluding relative efficiency and operatingcosts. Refer Note 2 and 30 for furtherdisclosure.
b) Property, plant and equipment, intangibleassets and 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 generatingunits and a suitable discount rate in order tocalculate present value. When the presentvalue of the cash flows are less than carryingvalue of property, plant and equipment amaterial impairment loss may arise. ReferNote 2 for further disclosure.
c) Impairment of investments in and loan givento subsidiaries and joint ventures
Determining whether the investments in andloan given to subsidiaries and joint venturesare impaired requires an estimate of thevalue in use / recoverable amount of assets.In considering the value in use / recoverableamount of assets, the Management haveanticipated the future cash flows, discountrates and other factors of the underlyingbusinesses/companies. In certain cases, theCompany engages third party qualified valuersto perform the valuation. The managementworks closely with the qualified externalvaluers to establish the appropriate valuationtechniques and inputs to the model. ReferNote 5, 6, and 39 for further disclosure.
d) Provisions, liabilities and contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in theperiod when it becomes probable that there willbe 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 andother claims against the Company. Potentialliabilities that are possible but not probable ofan outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits are treated as contingent liabilities.Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes butare not recognized. Refer Note 37 for furtherdisclosure.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unusedtax losses to the extent that it is probablethat taxable profit will be available againstwhich the losses can be utilized. Significantmanagement judgement is required todetermine the amount of deferred tax assetsthat can be recognised, based upon the likelytiming and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies.Refer Note 8 for further disclosure.
The cost of defined benefit gratuity planand other post-employment benefits aredetermined using actuarial valuations. Anactuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These includethe determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases and mortality rates. Dueto the complexities involved in the valuationand its long-term nature, a defined benefitobligation is highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions. All assumptions arereviewed at each reporting date.
The mortality rate is based on publiclyavailable mortality tables for India. Thosemortality tables tend to change only at intervalin response to demographic changes. Futuresalary increases and gratuity increases arebased on expected future inflation rates. ReferNote 28 and 41 for further disclosure.
Judgements are required in assessing therecoverability of overdue trade receivables anddetermining whether a provision against thosereceivables is required. Factors consideredi nclud e the cred it rati ng of the counterparty,the amount and timing of anticipated futurepayments and any possible actions that canbe taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.Refer note 11 for further disclosure.
Inventories are reviewed on a regular basisand the Company make allowance for agedor obsolete inventories and write down to netrealizable 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 valuesof Inventories. Factors considered includesdemand levels and pricing competition in theindustry. Refer note 10 for further disclosure.

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 will resultin an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the valueof 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 participants fromthe rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan'sliability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligationwere carried out at 31 March, 2025 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.

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 debt andequity.
The Company's capital requirement is mainly to fund its capex, working capital, repayment of principal and interest on itsborrowings. The principal source of funding of the Company has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generatedfrom its operations supplemented by funding from bank borrowings and the capital markets. The Company is not subjectto 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 givenbelow:
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.
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customer ' Credit risk hasbeen managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoringthe creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairmentloss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix and forward-looking information and an assessment of thecredit risk over the expected life of the financial asset to compute the expected credit loss allowance for tradereceivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited.
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 Rs 1,465.99 crore, which are fully provided for in the books. The net exposure of ' 204.06 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.
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 exports and tothat extent has a natural hedge as a mitigation measure to cover foreign exchange risk on account of imports/expenses in foreign currency. The Company hedges its foreign currency risk by entering into forward contracts.
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. Thesensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts theirtranslation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates anincrease in profit and negative number below indicates a decrease in profit.
a. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wifi fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because fundsare borrowed at both fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flowsensitivity for changes in variable interest rate. The borrowings of the Company are principally denominatedin rupees with a mix of fixed and floating rates of interest. The Company has exposure to interest rate risk,arising principally on changes in base lending rate. The Company uses a mix of interest rate sensitivefinancial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund requirements for its day to day operations. The riskis managed by the Company by maintaining a mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of raw materials like cotton and yarn. The Company hasa risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodityprices and freight costs. The Company's commodity risk is managed centrally through well-established tradingoperations and control processes.
The Company has a Risk Management Committee established by its Board of Directors for overseeing theRisk Management Framework and developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies.The risk management policies are established to ensure timely identification and evaluation of risks,setting acceptable risk thresholds, identifying and mapping controls against these risks, monitor the risksand their limits, improve risk awareness and transparency. Risk management policies and systems arereviewed regularly to reflect changes in the market conditions and the Company's activities to providereliable information to the Management and the Board to evaluate the adequacy of the risk managementframework in relation to the risk faced by the Company.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk of financial distress or extraordinary high financing costs arising due toshortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and requiringfinancing. The Company requires funds both for short term operational needs as well as for long termcapital expenditure for capex. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from operations, which togetherwith the available cash and cash equivalents provide liquidity in the short-term and long-term.
