(K) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event and 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. A
disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require
an outflow of resources. When the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance
cost.
Contingent Assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(L) Dividends on equity shares
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised.
(M) Fair value measurement
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in the
accessible principal market or the most advantageous accessible market as applicable.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair
value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising 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 into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. [See
note 24].
(N) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at
fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortization, where appropriate.
(O) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes outstanding bank overdraft shown within
current liabilities in statement of financial balance sheet and which are considered as integral part of company’s cash management policy.
(P) Intangible assets
(i) An intangible asset shall be recognised if, and only if: (a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to
the asset will flow to the Company and (b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
(ii) Cost of technical know-how is amortised over a period of six years.
(iii) Computer software is capitalised where it is expected to provide future enduring economic benefits. Capitalisation costs include licence
fees and costs of implementation / system integration services. The costs are capitalised in the year in which the relevant software is
implemented for use. The same is amortised over a period of 5 years on straight-line method.
(Q) Leases
(i) As a lessee
As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred
significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under Ind AS 116, the Company
recognizes right of use assets and lease liabilities for most leases i.e. these leases are on balance sheet.
On transition, the Company has applied following practical expedients:
•> Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with similar end date.
•> Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use-assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of tra
•> Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of -use-asset at the date of transition.
•> Grandfathered the assessment of which transactions are, or contain leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were
previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.
•> Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous, applying Ind AS 37 immediately before the date of initial application as an
alternative to performing an impairment review.
•> Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
(ii) As a lessor
Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless
the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The
respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
(R) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- The profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any income or expenses related to non-controlling interests.
- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued
during the year.
EPS reflects the performance of investments in group entities, ensuring transparency in financial reporting and regulatory compliance.
(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share
ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares; and
- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
Diluted EPS calculations ensure accurate representation of potential equity dilution, maintaining compliance with Ind AS 33

term borrowings. The Company believes that its working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Additionally, the Company has sizeable surplus funds
invested in fixed income securities or instruments of similar profile ensuring safety of capital and availability of liquidity if and when required. Hence the Company does
not perceive any liquidity risk.
(B) Market risk - Security Prices
The company's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or
at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the
portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the company. All of the company's equity investments are publicly traded.
