22 Provisions
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probablethat an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing thebest estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount isrecognized as finance cost.
Onerous Contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is consideredto exist when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected tobe received from it.
23 Trade payables
Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company and are unpaid at the reporting period.The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within time limits as contracted. Trade and other payables are presented ascurrent liabilities unless the payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at theirtransactional value which represents the fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod wherever applicable.
26 Revenue from operations
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue canbe reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalfof the Government.
a) Sale of Goods
Sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue towardssatisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated tothat performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on accountof various discounts and schemes offered by the company as part of the contract. As the period between the date on which thecompany transfers the promised goods to the customer and the date on which the customer pays for these goods is generally oneyear or less, no financing components are taken into account.
Certain contracts provide a customer with a right to return the goods within a specified period. The company uses the expected valuemethod to estimate the goods that will not be returned because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration towhich the company will be entitled. The requirements in Ind AS 115 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are alsoapplied in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price for goods that areexpected to be returned instead of revenue the company recognises a refund liability. A right of return asset and correspondingadjustment to change in inventory is also recognised for the right to recover products from a customer.
b) Sale of Services
In contracts involving the rendering of services, revenue is measured using the completed service method.
c) Other Operating Revenue
Export incentive and subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditionsand the incentive will be received. Insurance & other claims, where quantum of accruals cannot be ascertained with reasonablecertainty are recognized as income only when revenue is virtually certain which generally coincides with receipt/acceptance.
d) Government Grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair values when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and theCompany will comply with all the attached conditions. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income ona systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Grants relatedto purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-financial liabilities as deferred income and are credited to theStatement Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the related asset and presented within otheroperating revenue.
27 Other income
Interest Income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIRis the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorterperiod, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
30 Employee benefits expense
Short Term Benefits
Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related services areprovided. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelvemonths after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’services up to the end of the reporting period.
Post-Employment Benefits
The company operates the following post-employment schemes:
a) Defined Benefit Plans
The liability or asset recognized in the balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefitobligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The company net obligation in respect of definedbenefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in thecurrent and prior periods. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by Actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The liability recognized for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date lessthe fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. Thenet interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair valueof plan assets. The benefits are discounted using the government securities (G-Sec) at the end of the reporting period that haveterms approximating to the terms of related obligation.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling, are recognized in other comprehensive income. Remeasurement recognizedin other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to the statement of Profitand Loss.
b) Defined Contribution Plan
Defined contribution plans such as provident fund, ESI etc. are charged to the statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
31 Finance costs
Finance costs includes costs in relation to pensions and similar obligations, interest on lease liabilities which represents unwindingof the discount rate applied to lease liabilities and also include interest costs in relation to financial liabilities.
Borrowing Costs consists of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowings of funds. Borrowingcosts also include exchange difference to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as a part of the cost ofthat asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Thecompany considers a period of twelve months or more as a substantial period of time.
35 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit or loss for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted averagenumber of shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid up shares are included as fully paid equivalents according to the fractionpaid up.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares except wherethe result would be anti-dilutive.
The following are the types of Defined Benefit Plans:
(i) Gratuity Plan
Every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to gratuity on terms not less favourable than the
provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The present value of defined obligation and related current cost are measured
using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuation being carried out at Balance Sheet date.
(ii) Provident Fund
Provident Fund (other than government administered) as per the provisions of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952.
Defined Benefit Plans
Defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Interest rate risk, Salary risk and Demographic risk.
a) Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If the bondyield falls, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
b) Salary risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
c) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that includes mortalitywithdrawal disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefits obligations is not straightforward and depends on the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstatewithdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of the short career employee typically costs less per yearas compared to a long service employee.
37 Corporate Social Responsibility

Contingent assets are neitherrecognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
*Amount of H Nil (March 31, 2025: H Nil) pertaining to Income tax and H 126.67 Lakhs (March 31, 2025: 17.22 Lakhs) pertaining to GST paid underprotest.
#A refund claim of H 11,20,21,074 was filed by the Company on March 28, 2024 under the Inverted Duty Structure category. The refund wassanctioned and processed by the GST Department and received by the Company.Subsequently, on November 22, 2024, the GST Department filedand appeal against the refund sanctioned and processed, disputing the amount.
Deputy Commissioner (Appeals) vide order dated 12.03.2026 partly allowed the refund to the tune of H 6,62,92,203 /- in relation to the periodMarch'22 to March'23 while disallowing balance refund for the period April'21 to February'22 on time bar. The Company has contested the order byfiling an appeal before the Hon'ble GSTAT, Coimbatore on 23.03.2026 and also duly paid the applicable pre deposit without waiting till the last date
and time limit of 3 months from the date of communication of order considering the strong merits in the case. The Company is of the firm believethat no part of the disallowed refund warrants reversal as the refund claim was filed within the time limit. The Company relies on various favourablejurisdictional (Hon'ble Madras High Court) orders in the case of (Lenovo (India) Pvt Ltd vs The Joint Commissioner of GST (Appeals-1)), reported in2023 (11) TMI 774, ARS Energy Private Limited vs Additional Commissioner (Appeals) reported in 2023 (12) TMI 233 wherein it was held that timelimit prescribed u/s 54 is directory and not mandatory.

The Company is expecting for a favourable outcome on this matter.
42.1 The Company has measured its financial asset and financial liabilities at amortised cost.
42.2 The management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, leaseliabilities, short term borrowings and other current financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts largely due to theshort-term maturities of these instruments. The management has assessed that the fair value of floating rate instrumentsapproximates their carrying value.
42.3 The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on the discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They areclassified as Level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including own creditrisks, which was assessed as on the balance sheet date to be insignificant.
43 Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments are classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique.The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements)and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The categories used are as follows:
Ý Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;
Ý Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
Ý Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data.
a) The following are the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are(a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair value are disclosed in thefinancial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Companyhas classified its financial instruments into the three levels of fair value measurement as prescribed under the Ind AS 113“Fair Value Measurement”.
b) There are no transfers between levels during the year.
44 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's activities expose it to the following risks:
a) Credit risk
b) Liquidity risk
c) Market risk
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instruments or customer contract leadingto a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from itsfinancing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, foreign exchange transactions and otherfinancial instruments.
Trade and other receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relatingto customer credit risk management. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables are limited, due tothe Company's customer / other party base being large and diverse. All trade and other receivables are reviewed and assessedfor default on a quarterly basis. Our historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Outstanding customerreceivables / other party are regularly monitored and major customers / other party are generally secured by obtaining securitydeposits/bank guarantee or other forms of credit insurance. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is thecarrying value of trade receivable as disclosed in Note 15.
It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that aresettled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible,that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, withoutincurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficientcash on demand to meet expected short term operational expenses. The Company's objective is to maintain a balance betweencontinuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans/internal accruals. The table below provides details regarding theremaining contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities at the reporting date.
1) Commodity price risk
The Company primarily imports cotton and rubber. It is exposed to commodity price risk arising out of movement in prices of suchcommodities. Such risks are monitored by tracking of the prices and are managed by entering into fixed price contracts, whereconsidered necessary.
2) Foreign currency risk
The Company has Foreign Currency Exchange Risk on imports of input materials, Capital Equipment(s) in foreign currency for itsbusiness. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange raterisks. Certain transactions of the Company act as a natural hedge as a portion of both assets and liabilities are denominated insimilar foreign currencies. For the remaining exposure to foreign exchange risk, the Company adopts a policy of selective hedgingbased on risk perception of the management using derivative, wherever required, to mitigate or eliminate the risk.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
3) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to risk due to interest rate fluctuation on long term borrowings. Such borrowings are based on fixed aswell as floating interest rate. Interest rate risk is determined by current market interest rates, projected debt servicing capabilityand view on future interest rate. Such interest rate risk is actively evaluated and is managed through portfolio diversification andexercise of prepayment/refinancing options where considered necessary.
