The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past eventexists, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle suchobligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,when appropriate, the risks specific to the liabilities. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision dueto the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation thatmay, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of suchobligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect ofwhich likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure ismade.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal obligation that can beestimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.Provisions are determined by the best estimate of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligationat the reporting date. Where no reliable estimate can be made, a disclosure is made as Contingent Liabilities.
Contingent assets are a possible asset arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed, onlyby the occurrence and non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the controls ofthe Company. Contingent assets are not recognized till realization of the income is virtually certain and are notrecognized in the Standalone Financial Statements.

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (the “MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules as issued from time to time. For the period March 31, 2025, the MCAhas not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
The preparation of the Company’s Standalone Financial Statements is in conformity with the Ind AS, which requires theCompany’s managements to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accountingpolicies and the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities, incomes, and expenses (including the contingent liabilities)and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes thatrequire a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities effected in future periods. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revision toaccounting estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key resources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, thathave a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities within the nextfinancial year, are described as follow:
a) Income Tax: The Company’s tax jurisdiction is in India. Significant judgments are involved in estimatingbudgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the income tax provisions, including theamount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax provisions (Refer “Note No. 20”).
b) Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of assets baseof the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of anasset’s expected useful life and expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values ofassets are determined by the Company’s management at the time the assets are acquired and reviewed periodically,including at each financial year end. The useful lives of each of these assets are based on the life prescribed inSchedule - II to the Companies Act, 2013, or based on the technical estimates, taken into the account the nature ofthe assets, estimated usage, expected residual values and operating conditions of the assets. The useful lives arebased on historical experience with the similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact
their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements inproduction or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the assets.
c) Defined Benefits Obligations: The costs of providing gratuity and other post-employment benefits are charged tothe Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with IndAS -19, “Employee Benefits” over the periodduring which benefit is derived from the employees’ services. It is determined by using the actuarial valuation andassessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the Company’s management. An actuarial valuation involvesmaking various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These assumptions includesalary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in“Note No. 44”, “Employee Benefits”. Due to complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term in nature, adefined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to change in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date by the Company’s Management.
d) Fair Value measurements of Financial Instruments: When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the Standalone Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets,their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cashflow model, which involvesvarious judgments and assumptions. The input to these models is taken from observable markets whereverpossible, where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair value. Judgements includeconsiderations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factorscould affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments.
e) Recoverability of Trade Receivables: Judgment is required in assessing the recoverability of overdue tradereceivables and determining whether a provision is against those receivables is required. Factors consideredinclude the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possibleactions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payments.
f Provisions and Contingent Liabilities: The Company’s management estimates the provision that have presentobligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the currentbest estimates.
The Company uses significant judgements to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosedwhen there is possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only bythe occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the controls of theCompany or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingentassets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements.
g) Impairment of Financial and Non-Financial Assets: The impairment provision of financial assets is based onthe assumptions about the risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgment in makingthese assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s history, existingmarket conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of the reporting period.
In case of non-financial assets, the Company estimates asset’s recoverable amount, this is higher of an assets orcash generating units (CGU) fair value less the cost of disposal and the value-in-use. In assessing the value-in¬use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using the pre-tax discount rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the assets. In determining the fair value less cost ofdisposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriatevaluation model is being used.
h) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized fordeductible temporary differences and unused tax losses or unused tax credit for which there is probability ofutilization against the future taxable profits. The Company uses judgments to determine the amount of deferredtax that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and businessdevelopments.
i) Amortization of Leasehold Land: The Company’s lease assets primarily consist of lease for industrial land. Thelease premium is the fair value of land paid by the Company to the respective authorities at the time of acquisitionand there is no liability at the end of the lease term. The lease premium paid by the Company has been amortizedover the lease period on systematic basis and the same has been classified under Ind AS - 16, “Property, Plant andEquipment” and therefore, the requirements of both the Ind AS - 116 and Ind AS - 17, as to the period over which,and the manner in which, the right of use assets (under Ind AS - 116) or the assets arising from the finance lease(under Ind AS - 17) amortized as similar.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash outflows of an exposure will fluctuate due tochanges in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates globally, and a portion of the business is transacted inseveral currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales in overseasand purchases from overseas suppliers in foreign currency. The foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partlybalanced by purchasing of the goods in the respective currencies.

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in markettraded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in quoted equity instruments. TheCompany is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in quoted equity instruments recognized atFVTOCI, if any. As at March 31, 2025, the carrying value of such quoted equity instruments recognized at amountsFVTOCI amounts to ' NIL (March 31, 2024, ' NIL).
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financiallosses to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balanceswith banks and other financial assets such as other receivables with the Company.
The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counter parties that have sufficiently high credit ratings.The Company’s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregatevalue of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.
Credit risk arising from term deposits and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral heldagainst these because the counterparties are banks and recognized financial institutions with high credit ratingassigned by the international credit rating agencies.

Credit risk arising from trade receivableis managed in accordance with the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customercredit risk management. The credit quality of a customer is assessed based on detailed study of creditworthinessand accordingly individual credit limits are defined / modified. The concentration on credit risk is limited due tothe fact that, the customer base is large. There are very few of the customers, which represents more than 10% ofits total balance of trade receivable. For trade receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company computes creditloss allowance based on provision matrix. The provision matrix is prepared on historically observed default rateover the expected life of trade receivable and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The provision matrix atthe end of reporting period as follows:
