2.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognized 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. If the effect of the time value of
money is material, the amount of a provision shall be the
present value of expense expected to be required to settle
the obligation Provisions are therefore discounted, when
effect is material, The discount rate shall be pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessment of time value of money
and risk specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance
cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
2.18 Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets
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.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity,
Contingent assets are not recognized, but are disclosed
in the notes. However, when the realization of income
is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a
contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.
Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets are reviewed at
each balance sheet date.
2.19 Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR),
which is functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions< and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting
from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally
recognised In Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment
to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit
and Loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange
galns and losses are presented In the Statement of Profit
and Loss on a net basls within other gains/(losses).
2.20 Impact of the Initial application of new and amended
Ind ASs that are effective for the previous year
In the previous year, the Company had applied the below
amendments to Ind ASs that are effective for an annual
period that begins on or after April 1,2020.
The Company has adopted the amendments to Ind AS
1 and Ind AS 8 for the first time in the previous year. The
amendments make the definition of material in Ind AS
1 easier to understand and are not intended to alter the
underlying concept of materiality in Ind ASs. The concept
of 'obscuring' material information with immaterial
information has been included as part of the new definition.
The threshold for materiality influencing users has been
changed from 'could influence' to 'could reasonably be
expected to influence' The definition of material in Ind
AS 8 has been replaced by a reference to the definition of
material in Ind AS 1. In addition, the NCA amended other
standards that contain the definition of 'material' or refer to
the term 'material' to ensure consistency.
The adoption of the amendments has not had any material
impact on disclosures or on the amounts reported in these
standalone financial statements.
Use of estimates and critical accounting judgement
The preparation of the Company's financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions
are continuously evaluated and are based on management's
experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in
future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areas
where significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
are required. Further information on each of these areas
and how they impact the various accounting policies
are described below and also in the relevant notes to the
financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted
for prospectively.
a) Judgements
In the process of applying the company's accounting
policies, management has made the following judgements,
which have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the financial statements:
i) Contingencies:
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary
course of business in relation to claims against the
company, including legal, contractor, land access
and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will
be resolved only when one or more uncertain future
events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the
existence, and potential quantum , of contingencies
inherently involves the exercise of significant
judgments and the use of estimates regarding the
outcome of future events.
ii) Recognition of Deferred tax Assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be
recognized is based on an assessment of the
probability that future taxable income will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences
and tax loss carry-forward can be utilized. In addition,
significant judgement is required in assessing the
impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties
in various tax jurisdictions.
b) Estimates and Assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key
sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year, are described below.
The Company based its assumptions and estimates on
parameters available when the financial statements were
prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about
future developments, however, may change due to market
change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the
Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions
when they occur.
i) Useful lives of property ,plant & equipment :
The Company reviews its estimate of the useful lives
of property ,plant & equipment at each reporting date,
based on the expected utility of the assets.
ii) Defined benefit obligation :
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post¬
employment benefits and the present value of such
obligation are determined using actuarial valuations.
An actuarial valuation involves making various
assumptions that may differ from actual developments
in the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate,
future salary increases, mortality rates and future
pension increases. In view of the complexities involved
in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in
these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at
each reporting date.
iii) Inventories :
The Company estimates the net realizable values of
inventories, taking into account the most reliable
evidence available at each reporting date. The future
realization of these inventories may be affected by
future technology or other market-driven changes
that may reduce future selling prices.
iv) 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 the DCF model. The inputs to these models
are taken from observable markets where possible,
but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment
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.
Recent Accounting Developments
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standards
or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to
time. For the year ended 31.03.2025 MCA has not notified
any new standards or amendments to the existing standards
applicable to the company.
Note 32 : Segment Information
The Company is engaged in manufacturing and trading of UPVC,CPVC,HDPE Pipes and Fittings. Information is reported to and
evaluated regularly by the Chief Operational Decision Maker (CODM) i.e. Managing Director for the purpose of resource allocation
and assessing performance focuses on the business as whole . The CODM reviews the Company's performance focuses on the analysis
of profit before tax at an overall entity level. Accordingly, there is no other separate reportable segment as defined by IND AS 108
"Operating Segments".
(B) Defined Benefit Plans
a. Description of the Employee Benefit Plan
The company has an obligation towards gratuity, unfunded defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The
plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of the
employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days/ one month salary, as applicable, payable for each completed year of service or
part thereof in excess of six months in terms of Gratuity scheme of the company or as per payment of Gratuity Act, whichever is
higher. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service
b. Risk exposure
Investment Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount risk which
is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. Currently, for the plan in
India, it has relatively balanced mix of investments in Insurance related products.
Interest Rate Risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return
on the plan's debt .
Longevity Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan
participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the
plan's liability.
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an
increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to the employees.
In respect of the plan in India, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit
obligation were carried out as at March 31,2025 by an actuary.

Level 1: Quoted prices in the active market. This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted
prices in the active market. This category consists of quoted equity shares and debt based open ended mutual funds.
Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for such items, either directly or indirectly. This level of hierarchy consists of debt
based close ended mutual fund investments and over the counter (OTC) derivative contracts.
Level 3: Valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair value determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on
assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instruments nor based on
available market data. The main item in this category are unquoted equity instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets are determined at the amount that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction
between market participants. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Investments in debt mutual funds: Fair value is determined by reference to quotes from the financial institutions, i.e.. Net asset value
(NAV) for investments in mutual funds declared by mutual fund house.
Quoted equity investments: Fair value is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.
Unquoted equity investments: Fair value is derived on the basis of income approach, in this approach the discounted cash flow method
is used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of these investments.
I he company's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the company. I hese risks include
market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The management reviews cash resources, implements strategies for foreign currency exposures and ensuring market risk limit
and policies.
The company enters into Financial Instruments including Derivative Financial Instruments to minimize any adverse effect in its financial
performance due to foreign exchange risk.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change
in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as result of changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements can
not be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional currency in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactions denominated in the foreign
currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Volatility in exchange rates affects the Company's revenue
from export markets and the costs of imports, primarily in relation to raw material. The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk
under its trade and debt portfolio.
Adverse movements in the exchange rate between the Rupee and any relevant foreign currency result's in the increase in
the Company's overall debt positions in Rupee terms without the Company having incurred additional debt and favorable
movements in the exchange rates will conversely result in reduction in the Company's receivable in foreign currency. In order to
hedge exchange rate risk, the Company has a policy to hedge cash flows up to a specific tenure using forward exchange contracts
and options. In respect of imports and other payables, the Company hedges its payable as when the exposure arises.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk
arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts
receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing
counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties,
taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
(c) Liquidity Risk
"The Company has a liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term sources
of funding vis-a-vis short term and long term utilization requirement. This is monitored through a rolling forecast showing the
expected net cash flow, likely availability of cash and cash equivalents, and available undrawn borrowing facilities.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below analyses the company's all non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on their contractual
maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

cost and elongate the maturity of its debt portfolio, and closely monitors its judicious allocation amongst competing capital
expansion projects and strategic acquisitions, to capture market opportunities at minimum risk.
The Company monitors its capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided to total equity. Net debt includes, interest bearing
loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents.
