3.7.2 Financial Liabilitiesa) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. For trade and other payable maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying value approximates fair value due to short maturity.
b) Subsequent Measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the EIR method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
c) Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de¬ recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
d) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
f) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet only if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
g) Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.sp
3.8 Fair Value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date on a portfolio basis.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
'All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
- Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the Financial Statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬ assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summaries accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

- Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost)
3.9 Leases and ROUCompany as Lessee
Lease contracts entered by the Company majorly pertains for buildings taken on lease to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to
exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The Company used the following practical expedients when applying Ind AS
116 :
• Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
• Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term and leases of low value.
• Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
• Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
(i) . Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
(ii) . Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
3.10 Revenue Recognition:
The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers' which introduces a five-step approach to measuring and recognising revenue from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for services to a customer. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that there is no financing component involved when the credit period offered to customers is less than 12 months (also refer Credit Risk).
Rendering of Services
Revenue from sale of services is recognised in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements as accepted and agreed with the customers. Upfront non-refundable payments received are deferred and recognised as revenue over which the related services are performed.
Revenue from minimum guarantee clauses, cost conversion mechanisms, price escalation provisions, and other contractual adjustments is treated as variable consideration. Such revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the consideration is subsequently resolved.
Where the realization of such variable consideration is contingent upon customer confirmation, negotiation, or other contractual uncertainties, the Company constrains the recognition of such amounts and records revenue only when there is sufficient objective evidence to support both entitlement and recoverability.
Interest income
Interest on deposits is recognized on the time proportion method using the underlying interest rates.
3.11 Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net
change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(i) Current tax:
Current Tax expenses are accounted in the same period to which the revenue and expenses relate. Provision for current income tax is made for the tax liability payable on taxable income after considering tax allowances, deductions and exemptions determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the prevailing tax laws.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
(ii) Deferred tax:
Deferred income tax is recognised using the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred Income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
3.12 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby, profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities.
3.13 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all equity shares rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the Company's residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive residual assets of the Company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
(e) The Company has not allotted any fully paid equity shares by way of bonus shares nor has bought back any class of equity shares during the period of five years immediately preceding the balance sheet date nor has issued shares for consideration other than cash.
Nature and purpose of each reserve
Securities premium - The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in securities premium. It is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
Capital Reserve - Reserve of capital nature taken to this head under the erstwhile GAAP
Retained Earnings -This reserve represents undistributed accumulated earnings of the company as on balance sheet date.
b) Gratuity (Unfunded)
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Every employee who has completed 5 year or more of service is entitled to gratuity on departure at 15 days last drawn salary for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.
Certain operational bottlenecks and process inefficiencies during the current quarter resulted in abnormal consumption of inventory amounting to Rs. 241 lakhs, which has been recognised under consumption of stores and consumables for the year ended March 31,2026.
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential Equity shares into Equity shares.
A) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument or customer contract will fail to discharge its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily from its financial assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables, loans, and cash and cash equivalents and borrowings.
The Company's exposure to credit risk on trade receivables is mainly from its customer Tata Consumer Products Limited (TCPL), which constitutes the principal trade receivable. The Company continuously evaluates the creditworthiness and past payment history of TCPL and has historically not experienced any defaults. Based on management's assessment and past experience, the credit risk associated with trade receivables is considered low. Accordingly, the Company has assessed the expected credit loss (ECL) on trade receivables and does not consider any provision necessary as at the reporting date.
For cash and cash equivalents, the credit risk is limited as these balances are maintained with reputed banks and financial institutions having high credit ratings, thereby ensuring strong credit quality and negligible risk of default.
The Company has established internal control systems and periodic monitoring mechanisms for review of trade receivables and other financial assets. These include regular monitoring of recoverability and timely identification of any significant credit deterioration, if any, to ensure appropriate risk mitigation actions are taken.
Based on current assessment, the Company considers its overall exposure to credit risk to be low.
B) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as and when they become due.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all non-derivative financial liabilities.
There are no derivatives financial liabilities for the company.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The Company has a net current liability position as at the reporting date, which may indicate potential liquidity constraints in meeting its short-term obligations. Management has assessed the situation and is confident of meeting its liabilities through operational cash flows and by raising additional funds through available financing arrangements.
C) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments. The company is not affected by currency risk and other price risk based on its nature of business.
(a) Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's short-term debt obligations with fixed & floating interest rates.
Sensitivity Analysis of the Interest Rate
Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest expense from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates.
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
The company's objectives when managing capital are to:
> Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
> Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company monitors its capital structure through gearing ratio to maintain an optimal mix of debt and equity. The gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt includes total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

* Long term benefits have not been disclosed since the liability for such benefits have been derived by the actuary for entity as a whole.
**The Company has granted loan of Rs. 80.72 Lakhs (Amount outstanding as on 31st March 2026 is Rs. 65.99 Lakhs) to LLP in which directors are interested, which is subject to approval by the shareholders through special resolution under Section 185 (2) and the management is proposing to place it before the ensuing AGM for members approval.
# During the year, managerial remuneration exceeded the remuneration approved by the shareholders by ?25.19 lakhs due to the approval being granted on a net remuneration basis. The Company proposes to obtain shareholders' approval/ratification for the excess remuneration at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 "Leases" to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term except inflation adjustment.
Ind AS 116 has resulted in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.
During the year, the Company identified and corrected a prior period error relating to deferred tax on depreciation differences and recognition of previously unavailed tax benefit on unabsorbed depreciation. In accordance with Ind AS 8, the comparative figures have been restated. The adjustment is non-cash in nature and has no impact on the Company’s operating performance or cash flows.Following is the impact of the above in Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Profit and loss.
The Government of India notified on November 21,2025, four Labour Codes - the Code of Wages 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating existing labour laws. Based on management's assessment, the Company's existing employee compensation structures and benefit practices are largely aligned with the requirements of the Labour Codes and hence there is no impact on the financial results for the period under review. The Company will continue to monitor developments relating to implementation of the Labour Codes and evaluate any impact, if any, in future periods.
