q) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses, if any.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a current pre-tax rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
A) A present obligation arising from the past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
B) A present obligation arising from the past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
C) A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent Assets is disclosed when inflow of economic benefits is probable.
r) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Initial Recognition and Measurement - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and ancillary costs related to borrowings) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Since, trade receivables do not contain significant financing component they are measured at transaction price.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement: Financial Assets
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequen¬ tly measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) on the basis of following:
- the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Amortised Cost:
A financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
FVTOCI:
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest revenue which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
FVTPL:
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
Expected Credit Losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
- The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date);or
- Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
Classification and Subsequent measurement: Financial Liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial Liabilities at FVTPL:
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL.
Gains or losses on financial liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other Financial Liabilities:
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities:
The Company de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset. If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the
transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Offsetting Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
s) Operating Cycle
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification based on operating cycle.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
1. Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
2. Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
3. Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
4. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
1. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
4. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬ current assets and liabilities.
The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
t) Non-current assets held for sale
"The non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale / distribution if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale / distribution rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale / distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be
made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale/distribution expected within one year from the date of classification.For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale / distribution classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale / distribution in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales / distribution of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale / distribution is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale/distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:
* The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),
* An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),
* The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
* The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification and
* Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Non-current assets held for sale / for distribution to owners and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell / distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale / distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and property plant and equipment are classified as held for sale
* Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
* Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations.Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss. Additional disclosures are provided in Note 35. All other notes to the financial statements mainly include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned
Defined Benefit Plan:
The Company has defined benefit plans for Gratuity to eligible employees, contributions for which are made to Life Insurance Corporation of India, who invests the funds as per IRDA guidelines. The details of these defined benefit plans recognised in the financial statements are as under:
The defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to various risk such as:
Investment Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create plan deficit.
Interest Risk:
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the plan assets.
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 benefit 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.
c Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Company's financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities. The Company's financial assets comprise mainly of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other financial assets.
The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company's senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company's risk management framework who are responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.
A. MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK
The Company's size and operations does not results in it being exposed to the following market risks that arise from its use of financial instruments:
- currency risk;
- Interest rate risk
i. Currency Risk
The Company's activity does not expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
ii. Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the future cash flow with respect to interest payments on borrowing will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the Interest Rate Risk only to the extent of Borrowings from Related Parties.
B. MANAGEMENT OF CREDIT RISK
Credit Risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligation resulting in financial loss to the Company and it arises principally from the Company's Receivables from customers.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer including the default risk of the industry also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit Risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of the customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business (Refer note 6 - Trade receivables).
C. MANAGEMENT OF LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining facilities from related parties as and when necessary by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

35 Discontinuation of Operations at Jamnagar Plant and Classification of Non-Current Assets Held for Sale
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the discontinuation of operations at its sole manufacturing facility located at Jamnagar, effective the same date. This decision is part of the Company's strategic initiative to rationalise operations, enhance resource efficiency and optimise its asset base. In accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 105 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the results of the Jamnagar Plant have been presented as “Discontinued Operations” in the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2025. Corresponding figures for prior periods have been reclassified to reflect this presentation.
Following the cessation of operations, the Company has assessed the recoverable amount of Non-Current assets associated with the discontinued unit at Jamnagar. Based on valuation performed by an Independent Registered Valuer the Company has classified a carrying amount of Rs. 5,714.12 lakhs under “Non-Current Assets Held for Sale,” which, in the view of the management, reflects the fair value less costs to sell in accordance with Ind AS 105. These Assets will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a total comprehensive loss of Rs. 1044.09 lakhs. As of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 502.64 lakhs. However, the Company continues to maintain a positive net worth. Despite the working capital deficit and the discontinuation of its primary manufacturing operations, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, reflecting the management's confidence in the Company's ability to implement operational and financial strategies, including realisation of assets held for sale and restructuring of cost base.
36 The provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder requires that the Company uses only such accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail for each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled or tampered with effect from April 1, 2023. The Company has not used accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility. However, Company is in process of establishing controls in this regard.
