32 Going Concern

During the FY 2022-23, owing to extreme volatility in raw material prices, subdued demand from overseas markets with hike in energy prices, the Company incurred a loss of ' 874.89 crore. It has accumulated losses of ' 21,285.88 crore and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by ' 918.44 crore as at 31 March 2023. The market condition is improving and considering the cash flow projection of the Company, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

33 As per Clause 1.2 (xi) of Approved Resolution Plan, the outstanding debt amounting to ' 17,384.02 crore assigned to Resolution Applicants shall not carry interest for the first 8 years from the Closing Date (as defined in the Approved Resolution Plan), hence such debt has been measured at cost. After such period of 8 years, the terms of assigned debt shall be mutually agreed among the Resolution Applicants and the Company. The Approved Resolution Plan has an overriding effect on the requirements of Ind AS, as per legal view obtained by the Company in this regard. Hence, had the Company applied the Ind AS, it would have recognised the assigned debt at its fair value and accordingly recognized the imputed interest cost over the period of loan in the statement of profit and loss.

34 As on June 2017, the Company had an amount of ' 11,623.94 crore receivable from trading debtors on account of sale of fabric (“Outstanding Trading Dues”).

Provided however, nothing contained in the resolution plan shall oblige the Resolution Applicants or the Company to take steps for recovery of the Outstanding Trading Dues.

Accordingly, the Company has an obligation to deposit into the escrow account any collections received out of the “Outstanding Trading Dues” or otherwise, as stated above, for the benefit of the Financial Creditors and as a result therefore, the risk and reward associated with the Outstanding Trading Dues now belong to the Financial Creditors. Accordingly the Company had derecognised the said outstanding trade receivables and related provisions in the books.

All of GAIL's claims against the Company were dealt with as per the provisions of the resolution plan which was submitted during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process of the Company and which was duly approved by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Bench at Ahmedabad (NCLT) vide its dated 8 March 2019. For and in relation to the periods thereafter (post the closing date i.e. 14 September 2020), GAIL raised demands (which, as on 31 March 2023, aggregate to ' 717.95 Crores). These demands were made purportedly under the ToP regime of the said GSA, despite however the Hon'ble NCLT already having directed a re-negotiation of the GSA. Aggrieved, GAIL challenged the said order of the Hon'ble NCLT by preferring an appeal before the Hon'ble National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). GAIL's appeal, however, came to be dismissed by the Hon'ble NCLAT's order dated 4 October 2021. This order of Hon'ble NCLAT was then challenged by GAIL by preferring an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Even this appeal of GAIL was dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court by its order dated 21 March 2022.

In the circumstances, the Hon'ble NCLT's order, which was effective throughout and which had directed a renegotiation of the GSA under which GAIL made its claims, has thus now attained finality. The Company has since also sought legal opinion in the matter and based on it and the aforesaid circumstances, the Company is of the view that in terms of the order of the Hon'ble NCLT, there is no liability, either contingent or otherwise, under the GSA as claimed by GAIL or otherwise.

The Company has already in terms of the said order of the Hon'ble NCLT initiated the process for renegotiation of the GSA with GAIL and the same is pending finalization.

ii) defined benefit plans: a) Gratuity plan:

The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member's length of service and salary at retirement age.

The Company makes annual contribution to the Employee's Company Gratuity Assurance Scheme, a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Fund invests in the scheme of insurance with the Life Insurance Corporation of India, IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company Limited, SBI Life Insurance Company Limited and Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company Limited. The scheme provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to fifteen days salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.

The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk. Interest risk : The plan exposes the Company to the risk off all in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.

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 is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 31 March, 2023 by KP Actuaries and Consultants LLP. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Project Unit Credit Method as per Ind AS 19.

43 Capital Management and Financial Management Framework:

The Company being in a working capital intensive industry, its objective is to maintain a strong credit rating, healthy ratios and establish a capital structure that would maximize the return to stakeholders through optimum mix of debt and equity.

The Company's capital requirement is mainly to fund its capex, working capital, repayment of principal and interest on its borrowings. The principal source of funding of the Company has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generated from its operations supplemented by funding from bank borrowings and the capital markets. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. Since net worth of the Company is negative, debt equity ratio is not calculated.

The key risks associated with day to day operations of the Company and working capital management are given below:

A. Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables and other financial assets.

i) Trade Receivables:

Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk has been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix and forward-looking information and an assessment of the credit risk over the expected life of the financial asset to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited.

ii) Other Financial Assets & loans

The Company has limited credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents as the deposits are maintained with banks and financial institutions with high credit rating. Further, other financial assets mainly comprises of Export incentives which are recoverable from Government. Hence, these are low risk items and the Company evaluates the recoverability of these financial assets at each reporting date and wherever required, a provision is created against the same.

The Company had in earlier years given loans to its subsidiaries/a Company in which erstwhile directors were interested of ' 1,465.99 crore, which are fully provided for in the books. The net exposure of ' 182.12 crore is with respect of one wholly owned subsidiary whereby the Company has impaired to the extent of the fair valuation of the subsidiary's investment properties / inventories.

B. 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 of three types of risks - interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk in a fluctuating market environment. Financial instrument affected by market risks includes loans and borrowings, deposits, derivatives and other financial assets.

i) Currency Risk

The Company's functional currency is Indian Rupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactions denominated in 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. The Company has exports and to that extent has a natural hedge as a mitigation measure to cover foreign exchange risk on account of imports/ expenses in foreign currency. The Company hedges its foreign currency risk by entering into forward contracts.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an

ii) Interest rate risk

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 is exposed to interest rate risk because funds are borrowed at both fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rate. The borrowings of the Company are principally denominated in rupees with a mix of fixed and floating rates of interest. The Company has exposure to interest rate risk, arising principally on changes in base lending rate. The Company uses a mix of interest rate sensitive financial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund requirements for its day to day operations. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining a mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.

iii) Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of raw materials like PTA, MEG, cotton and yarn. The Company has a risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs. The Company's commodity risk is managed centrally through well-established trading operations and control processes.

C. Financial risk management objectives

The Company has a Risk Management Committee established by its Board of Directors for overseeing the Risk Management Framework and developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The risk management policies are established to ensure timely identification and evaluation of risks, setting acceptable risk thresholds, identifying and mapping controls against these risks, monitor the risks and their limits, improve risk awareness and transparency. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in the market conditions and the Company's activities to provide reliable information to the Management and the Board to evaluate the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risk faced by the Company.

D. Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of financial distress or extraordinary high financing costs arising due to shortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and requiring financing. The Company requires funds both for short term operational needs as well as for long term capital expenditure for capex. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from operations, which together with the available cash and cash equivalents provide liquidity in the short-term and long-term. The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk through cash generated from operations, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. As at 31 March 2023, the Company has undrawn committed borrowing facilities amounting to ' 56.84 crore and the Company expects to enjoy all the working capital limits sanctioned to it in FY 23-24.

During the current year, due to the adverse market situation, the Company's performance has been impacted, which has led to breach of some of the financial covenants of the term loans. The Company is regular in payment of interest and repayment of loan instalments and expects to meet all future obligations as and when due and hence the said covenant default is not expected to have any adverse impact on the financial statements.

The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and/or disclosing the fair value of financial instrument by valuation technique:

(i) Level 1 — quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

(ii) Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

(iii) Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

There has been no transfers between level 1 & level 2 during the period.
