Provision is recognised when the Company hasa present obligation as a result of past events &it is probable that the outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation & in respect of whichreliable estimates can be made. A disclosure forcontingent liability is made when there is a possibleobligation that may, but probably will not requirean outflow of resources. When there is a possibleobligation or a present obligation in respect of whichthe likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, noprovision/ disclosure is made. Contingent assetsare not recognised in the financial statement.
Provisions & contingencies are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date & adjusted to reflect the correctmanagement estimates.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effectsof transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferralsor accruals of past or accruals of past or futureoperating cash receipts or payments & item of incomeor expenses associated with investing or financingcash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing &financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Adjusting events (that provides evidence of conditionthat existed at the balance sheet date) occurringafter the balance sheet date are recognized in theStandalone Financial Statements. Material nonadjusting events (that are inductive of conditions thatarose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occurringafter the balance sheet date that represents materialchange & commitment affecting the financial positionare disclosed in the Directors’ Report.
Basic earnings per share are calculated bydividing the net profit or loss [excluding othercomprehensive income] for the year attributableto equity shareholders by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during theyear. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the year is adjusted for eventssuch as bonus issue, bonus element in a right issue,shares split & reserve share splits [consolidation ofshares] that have changed the number of equityshares outstanding, without a correspondingchange in resources. For the purpose of calculatingdiluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss[excluding other comprehensive income] for theyear attributable to equity shareholders & theweighted average number of shares outstandingduring the year are adjusted for the effects of alldilutive potential equity shares.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise toa financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equity instrument of another entity. Financialinstruments also include derivative contracts suchas foreign exchange forward contracts, crosscurrency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps,currency options and embedded derivatives inthe host contract.
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initiallyat fair value (plus transaction costsattributable to the acquisition of thefinancial assets, in the case of financialassets are not recorded at fair valuethrough profit or loss).
(ii) Classifications
The company classifies its financial assetsas subsequently measured at eitheramortized cost or fair value dependingon the company’s business model formanaging the financial assets and thecontractual cash flow characteristics ofthe financial assets.
(iii) Business model assessment
The company assesses the objective of abusiness model in which an asset is held ata portfolio level because this best reflectsthe way the business is managed, andinformation is provided to management.
Assessment whether contractual cashflows are solely payments of principaland interest
For the purposes of this assessment,‘principal’ is defined as the fair value ofthe financial asset on initial recognition.‘Interest’ is defined as consideration forthe time value of money and for the creditrisk associated with the principal amountoutstanding during a period, for other basiclending risks, costs (e.g. liquidity risk andadministrative costs), and profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cashflows are solely payments of principaland interest, the company considers thecontractual terms of the instrument. Thisincludes assessing whether the financialasset contains a contractual term thatcould change the timing or amount ofcontractual cash flows such that it wouldnot meet this condition.
Financial Assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured atamortised cost only if both of the followingconditions are met:
- It is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold assets tocollect contractual cash flows.
- the contractual terms of the financialasset represents contractual cashflows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest.
After initial measurement, such financialassets are subsequently measured atamortised cost using the EIR method.Amortised cost is calculated byconsidering any discount or premium onacquisition and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisationis included as finance income in the profitor loss. The losses arising from impairmentare recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial Assets at Fair Value throughOther Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is measured atamortized cost only if both of the followingconditions are met:
- it is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold assets inorder to collect contractual cash flows.
- the contractual terms of the financialasset represent contractual cashflows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest.
On initial recognition, the Company makesan irrevocable election on an instrument-by-instrument basis to present thesubsequent changes in fair value in othercomprehensive income pertaining toinvestments in equity instruments, otherthan equity investment which are held fortrading. Subsequently, they are measuredat fair value with gains and losses arisingfrom changes in fair value recognisedin other comprehensive income andaccumulated in the 'Reserve for equityinstruments through other comprehensiveincome'. The cumulative gain or loss is notreclassified to profit or loss on disposal ofthe investments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value throughProfit and Loss (FVTPL)
Investments in equity instruments areclassified as at FVTPL, unless the Companyirrevocably elects on initial recognitionto present subsequent changes in fairvalue in other comprehensive income forinvestments in equity instruments whichare not held for trading.
Other financial assets are measured atfair value through profit or loss unless it ismeasured at amortised cost or at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income oninitial recognition. The transaction costsdirectly attributable to the acquisition offinancial assets and liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or loss are immediatelyrecognised in statement of the profit and loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries, JointlyControlled Entities and Associates
Investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlledentities and associates are measured atcost less impairment as per the Ind AS 27-Separate Financial Statements.
Impairment of investments
The Company reviews its carrying value ofinvestments carried at cost or amortised costannually, or more frequently when there isindication for impairment. If the recoverableamount is less than its carrying amount, theimpairment loss is accounted for.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, apart of a financial asset or part of a groupof similar financial assets) is primarilyderecognized (i.e. removed from thecompany’s balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows fromthe asset have expired, or
- The company has transferred itsrights to receive cash flows from theasset or has assumed an obligationto pay the received cash flows in fullwithout material delay to a third partyunder a ‘pass-through’ arrangement;and either (a) the company hastransferred substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, or (b) thecompany has neither transferred norretained substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, but hastransferred control of the asset.
When the company has transferredits rights to receive cash flows from anasset or has entered into a pass-througharrangement, it evaluates if and towhat extent it has retained the risks andrewards of ownership. When it has neithertransferred nor retained substantiallyall of the risks and rewards of the asset,nor transferred control of the asset, thecompany continues to recognize thetransferred asset to the extent of thecompany’s continuing involvement. In thatcase, the company also recognizes anassociated liability. The transferred assetand the associated liability are measuredon a basis that reflects the rights andobligations that the company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the formof a guarantee over the transferred assetis measured at the lower of the originalcarrying amount of the asset and themaximum amount of consideration thatthe company could be required to repay.
On derecognition of a financial asset, thedifference between the carrying amountof the asset (or the carrying amountallocated to the portion of the assetderecognised) and the sum of (i) theconsideration received (including anynew asset obtained less any new liability
assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain orloss that had been recognised in the OCI isrecognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses the expectedcredit losses associated with its assetscarried at amortised cost and FVOCI debtinstruments on a forward-looking basis.The impairment methodology applieddepends on whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk.
With regard to trade receivable, theCompany applies the simplified approachas permitted by the Ind AS 109, FinancialInstruments, which requires expectedlifetime losses to be recognised from theinitial recognition of the trade receivables.
For all other financial assets, expectedcredit losses are measured at an amountequal to the 12 month expected creditlosses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the creditrisk on the financial assets has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition.
b. Financial Liabilities
i. Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initialrecognition as financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss or amortisedcost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognisedinitially at fair value and in the case ofamortised cost, net of directly attributabletransaction costs.
ii. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilitiesdepends on their classification, asdescribed below:
Financial Liabilities measured atamortised cost
After the initial recognition, interest¬bearing loans and borrowings aresubsequently measured at amortised costusing the EIR method. Gains and lossesare recognised in profit or loss when theliabilities are derecognised as well asthrough the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by consideringany discount or premium on acquisition andfees or costs that are an integral part of theEIR. The EIR amortisation is included as financecosts in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss include financial liabilitiesheld for trading and financial liabilitiesdesignated upon initial recognition as atfair value through profit or loss. Financialliabilities are classified as held for tradingif they are incurred for the purpose ofrepurchasing in the near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for tradingare recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initialrecognition at fair value through profit orloss are designated as such at the initialdate of recognition, and only if the criteriain the Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilitiesdesignated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ lossesattributable to changes in own credit riskare recognized in OCI. These gains/ lossesare not subsequently transferred to the P&L.However, the Company may transfer thecumulative gain or loss within equity. All theother changes in fair value of such liability arerecognised in the statement of profit or loss.
iii. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The company derecognises a financialliability when its contractual obligationsare discharged or cancelled or expire.
c. Modifications of financial assets and financialliabilities
Financial assets
If the terms of a financial asset are modified,the company evaluates whether the cash flowsof the modified asset are substantially different.If the cash flows are substantially different, thenthe contractual rights to cash flows from theoriginal financial asset are deemed to haveexpired. In this case, the original financial assetis derecognised and a new financial asset isrecognised at fair value.
If the cash flows of the modified asset carried atamortised cost are not substantially different,then the modification does not result inderecognition of the financial asset. In this case,the company recalculates the gross carrying
amount of the financial asset and recognisesthe amount arising from adjusting the grosscarrying amount as a modification gain orloss in profit or loss. If such a modification iscarried out because of financial difficulties ofthe borrower, then the gain or loss is presentedtogether with impairment losses. In other cases,it is presented as interest income. The gain/ loss is recognised in other equity in case oftransaction with shareholders.
Financial liabilities
Borrowings and other financial liabilitiesare initially recognised at fair value (net oftransaction costs incurred). Difference betweenthe fair value and the transaction proceeds oninitial is recognised as an asset / liability basedon the underlying reason for the difference.
Subsequently all financial liabilities are measuredat amortised cost using the effective interestrate method. The company derecognises afinancial liability when its terms are modified,and the cash flows of the modified liabilityare substantially different. In this case, a newfinancial liability based on the modified terms isrecognised at fair value. The difference betweenthe carrying amount of the financial liabilityextinguished and the new financial liability withmodified terms is recognised in profit or loss. Thegain / loss is recognised in other equity in caseof transaction with shareholders.
The Company has computed the Equitycomponent of the Preference Sharesconsidering the terms of the RPS to be non¬cumulative and further modified the estimatesof future cash flows.
3.21 Fair Value Measurements
These Standalone Financial Statements areprepared under the historical cost convention,except certain financial assets & liabilities measuredat fair value (refer accounting policy on financialinstruments) as per relevant applicable Ind AS.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sellan asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at themeasurement date. The fair value measurementis based on the presumption that the transactionto sell the asset or transfer the liability takes placeeither in the principal market for the asset or liability,or in the absence of a principal market, in the mostadvantageous market for the asset or liability. Theprincipal or the most advantageous market mustbe accessible to the Company.
Management applies valuation techniques todetermine the fair value of financial instruments(where active market quotes are not available)and non-financial assets. This involves developingestimates and assumptions consistent with howmarket participants would price the instrument.Management bases its assumptions on observabledata as far as possible but this is not alwaysavailable. In that case management uses the bestinformation available. Estimated fair values mayvary from the actual prices that would be achievedin an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measuredusing the assumptions that market participantswould use when pricing the asset or liability,assuming that market participants act in theireconomic best interest. A fair value measurement ofa non-financial asset takes into account a marketparticipant's ability to generate economic benefitsby using the asset in its highest & best use or byselling it to another market participant that woulduse the asset in its highest & best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques thatare appropriate in the circumstances & for whichsufficient data are available to measure fairvalue, maximising the use of relevant observableinputs & minimising the use of unobservableinputs. All assets & liabilities for which fair value ismeasured or disclosed in the Standalone FinancialStatements are categorized within the fair valuehierarchy, described as follows, based on thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for whichthe lowest level input that is significant tothe fair value measurement is directly orindirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is unobservable
For assets & liabilities that are recognised in theStandalone Financial Statements on a recurringbasis, the Company determines whethertransfers have occurred between Levels inthe hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation(based on the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement as awhole) at the end of each reporting period.
3.22 The previous year numbers have been reclassifiedwherever necessary. Unless otherwise stated,all amounts are in Million Indian Rupees. Itemsreflecting as 0.00 denotes value less than? 5000.

The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, price risk and market risk. This noteexplains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to & how the entity manages the risk & the related impact inthe Standalone Financial Statements. The Company’s risk management is done in close co-ordination with the boardof directors & focuses on actively securing the Company’s short, medium & long-term cash flows by minimizing theexposure to volatile financial markets.

Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk onsuch fixed deposits.
The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the counter party, taking into account the financialcondition, current economic trends, & analysis of historical bad debts & ageing of accounts receivable. Individuallimits are set accordingly.
The Company trades with recognized & credit worthy third parties and balance credit sales it's against securitiesin the form of customer security deposits. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on creditterms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, trade receivable balances are monitored on anon-going basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition,a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups & assessed for impairmentcollectively. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. Also, the Company does not enter intosales transaction with customers having credit loss history.
There is no significant credit risk with related parties of the Company. Adequate expected credit losses arerecognized as per the assessments.
(ii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with itsfinancial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

(v) Commodity Price Risk :
Commodity price risk arises from the change in the commodity prices that may have an adverse effect on theCompany's result in the current reporting period and future periods. The company's exposure to commodity riskis in relation to volatility in prices of natural gas. The administered price determined by the PPAC cell of Petroleumand Natural Gas Regulatory Board minimizes the company's exposure to price risk . The Company manages itsrisk by maintaining a balanced procurement at administered and spot purchase rates. Further, risk arising onaccount of fluctuations in price of natural gas is mitigated by company's ability to pass on the fluctuations inprices to customers.

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are eitherobservable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
Level-1 : Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level-2 : Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level-1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level-3 : Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in wholeor in part using a valuation model based on the assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observablecurrent market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
