(m) Provisions and Contingencies
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
(ii) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements but are disclosed, if any.
(n) Impairment of non-current assets
An asset is considered as impaired when at the date of Balance Sheet there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the net asset selling price and value in use).The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognized as an impairment loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The impairment loss recognized in the prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. Post impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying value of the impaired asset over its remaining useful life.
(o) Borrowing Cost / Finance Cost
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying assets treated as of the cost of that asset and other borrowing cost are recognised as expenses in the period in which it incurs them. Ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arranging the borrowings is amortized over the terms of the loan.
(p) Financial instruments - initial recognition, subsequent measurement and impairment
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial assets or a liability is recognised when the Company becomes a Party to the contractual provision of the instrument.
a) Financial Assets
Financial assets include cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables, investments in securities and other eligible current and noncurrent assets.
Financial Assets are measured at amortised cost or fair value through Other Comprehensive Income or fair value through Profit or Loss, depending on its business model for managing those financial assets and the assets contractual cash flow characteristics.
Subsequent measurements of financial assets are dependent on initial categorisation. For impairment purposes significant financial assets are tested on an individual basis, other financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
The company derecognizes a financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or it transfers the financial assets and the transfer qualifies for the derecognisition under Ind-AS 109.
Investment in Equity shares
Investments in equity securities (Other than Investment in Subsidiaries & Joint Venture) are initially measured at fair value. Any subsequent fair value gain or loss is recognized through Profit or Loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries & Joint Venture
Investments in subsidiaries and Joint Venture are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.
The company assesses impairment based on expected credit loss (ECL) model to all its financial assets measured at amortised cost
b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities include long term and short term loan and borrowings, trade and other payables and other eligible current and non-current liabilities.
All financial liabilities recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowing and other payable, net of directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified under one of the following two categories
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading. The Company has not designated any financial liabilities upon initial measurement recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are at each reporting date at fair value with all the changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
After initial recognition, such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method to the gross carrying amount of financial liability. The EIR amortization is included in finance expense in the profit and loss.
De-recognition of financial liability
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(q) Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward & Options currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
(r) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of the equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(t) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. Management of the Company is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segment. Revenue, expenses assets and liabilities which are common to the company are shown as results, assets and liabilities as unallocable.
(u) Revenue recognition and other income
a) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognized either on delivery or on transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods.

c) Export Incentives
Revenue in respect of Export benefit are recognised on post export basis at the rate at which the entitlement accrues in terms of import export policy and is included in the turnover of the company.
(v) Exceptional Items
When items of income and expenses within statement of profit and loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
1.4. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and judgements, which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcome that require a material adjustment to assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
a) Income taxes
Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities based on probability that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported in the standalone financial statements.
b) Contingencies
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
c) Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables and advances are stated at their transaction value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Trade receivables and advances are written off on case to case basis when management deems them not to be collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
d) Insurance claims
Insurance claims are recognised when the Company have reasonable certainty of recovery. Subsequently any change in recoverability is appropriately adjusted for and give effect in the statement of profit and loss.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
f) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
B) Custom duty saved on import of raw material under Advance License pending fulfillment of export obligation amounting to t 484.21 Lakh (Previous Year t 663.98 Lakh). The Management is of the view that considering the past export performance and future prospects there is certainty that pending export obligation under advance licenses will be fulfilled before expiry of the validity of respective advance licenses, accordingly and also on “Going Concern Concept” basis there is no need to make any provision for custom duty saved.
39. Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for (net of advances of t 353.94 Lakh (Previous Year t 392.87 Lakh) are t 6,374.74 Lakh (Previous Year t 7,878.46 Lakh).

The levy was challenged by the Company in the Hon’ble Supreme Court and on October 18, 2006 the matter was finally decided by The Hon’ble Supreme Court in favour of the Company.

Further, the Scheme was subject to the requisite approvals and sanction of the jurisdictional bench of National Company Law Tribunal and also subject to the approval of the shareholders and I or creditors of IGL, Central Government, or such other competent authority or intermediaries or agencies etc., as may be directed by the NCLT.
Further, post deliberations, to continue value creation for its stakeholders, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 16th May 2025 has decided to exclusively focus on Demerger as described in the above paragraph. The earlier proposal for the amalgamation of KHL Into the Company will no longer form part of the Scheme being pursued. The proposed modification does not affect any stakeholders, including shareholders, creditors, or employees. There will be no adverse implication on the existing public shareholders of Transferee Company as they will continue to own the same percentage of shares in the Company. The appointed date for the Scheme of Arrangement is 1st April, 2026. The above events do not have any impact or bearings on the standalone financial statement of the Company.
43. (a) (i) In earlier year the company had given (included in current Loan) Inter Corporate Deposit (ICD) of t 14,649.64 Lakh
(Previous Year t 14,649.64 Lakh) to its subsidiary IGL Finance Ltd. (IGlFl) (A 100% subsidiary). IgLfL in earlier year had invested funds for short term in commodity financing contracts offered by National Spot Exchange Ltd. (NSEL). NSEL had defaulted in settling the contracts on due dates, for which IGlFl has initiated legal and other action and in turn IGLFL did not pay back due amount to the company. Accordingly considering the prudence no interest on above ICD has been accrued for the period from 01-09-2013 onwards.
(ii) In respect of the above, the Company has made a loss allowance of t 11,719.71 Lakh based on expected credit loss Policy and other estimation made by the management and for balance t 2,041.93 Lakh (and also fully provided for against equity investment of t 125.00 Lakh), the management and IGLFL is confident for recovery of dues from NSEL over a period of time and hence shown as good (considering the measure which have so far been taken for and pending before the Govt. and other authorities and current scenario/present state of affairs). However, during the earlier year, the Company has written off ICD of t 11,719.71 Lakh and adjusted the same against the provision, which was created in earlier year. Hence there was no impact on profitability of the company.
