1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Basis of brparation and brsentation of financial statements:

The financial statements have been brpared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical cost convention (except for the revaluation of certain fixed assets acquired before 30th June, 1985) on accrual basis. The financial statements of the Company have been brpared to comply with the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. Further, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also considered, wherever applicable except to the extent where compliance with other statutory bodies viz. SEBI guidelines override the same requiring a different treatment. Certain escalation and other claims are accounted for in terms of contracts with the customers / admitted by the appropriate authorities. The accounting policies adopted in the brparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the brvious year.

2. Use of estimates:

The brparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. The examples of such estimates include, the useful life of tangible and intangible fixed assets, allowances for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans etc. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions and in such case, the difference is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

3. Fixed Assets:

(a) Fixed assets are stated at original cost, net of tax / duty credit availed, if any, except for land and building acquired prior to 30th June, 1985 which are stated at revalued cost as at that date based on the report of technical expert, less accumulated debrciation and amortisation. Subsequent upgradations / enhancements which results in an increase in the future benefits from such assets, beyond the brviously assessed standard of performance, are also capitalised. Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of tangible assets and whose use is not of regular nature are written off over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset.

(b) Administrative and other general overheads that are specifically attributable to construction or acquisition of fixed assets or bringing the fixed assets to working condition are allocated and capitalised as a part of fixed assets.

(c) Pre-operative expenses, including interest on borrowings upto the date of commercial operations, are treated as part of project cost and capitalised.

(d) Internally manufactured fixed assets are capitalised at factory cost, including excise duty, where applicable.

(e) Capital work-in-progress includes cost of fixed assets under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date.

(f) Capital expenditure on tangible assets for research and development is classified under fixed assets and is debrciated on the same basis as other fixed assets.

(g) Fixed assets are eliminated from financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use. Losses arising in case of retirement of assets and gains or losses arising from disposal of fixed assets are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.

4. Impairment of assets:

As at each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of assets including goodwill arising on acquisition are tested for impairment so as to  determine:

(a) the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

(b) the reversal of impairment loss recognised in brvious periods, if any.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined:

(a) In the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use; and

(b) In the case of cash a generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit's net selling price and the value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the brsent value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.)

5. Intangible assets and amortisation:

Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised as follows:

(a) Intangible assets:

(1) Specialised software : Over a period of Ave years;

(2) Technical know-how : Over a period of Ave years (from the date of its availability for use);

(3) Commercial rights : Over the period of ten years and

(b) Research and development cost:

(1) Research cost:

Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(2) Development cost:

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated.

(i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

(ii) the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

(iii) the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

(iv)the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

(vi)the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of Ave years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

6. Investments: Long-term investments:

Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline in the permanent nature in the value of investments.

Current investments:

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments and are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. The comparison of cost and carrying amount is done separately for each category of investments based on the market value of the investments.

7. Inventories:

(a) Raw materials, packing materials, construction materials, : At lower of cost, on weighted average basis and net realisable stores and spares value.

(b) Work -in-progress - Manufacturing : At lower of cost of materials, plus appropriate production overheads and net realisable value.

(c) Finished goods - Manufacturing : At lower of cost of materials plus appropriate production  overheads, including excise duty paid / payable on such goods and net realisable value.

(d) Finishedgoods-Trading : At lower of cost, on weighted average basis and net realisable  value.

The cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their brsent location and condition. Slow and non-moving materials, obsolesces, defective inventories are duly provided for and valued at net realisable value. Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred upto the date of balance sheet. Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

8. Cash and cash equivalents:

(a) Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.

(b) Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

9. Foreign currency transaction and foreign operations:

(a) The reporting currency is Indian Rupee.

(b) Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are recorded using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company's monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(c) Financial statements of foreign operations are treated as integral operations and translated as in the same manner as foreign currency transactions, as described above. Exchange differences arising on such conversions are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

10. Derivative contracts:

(a) Derivative contracts entered into, to hedge foreign currency / price risks on unexecuted firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the financial statements at fair value as on the balance sheet date. The gains or losses arising out of fair valuation of derivative contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss or balance sheet, as the case may be, after applying the test of hedge effectiveness. The gains or losses are recognised as hedge reserve in the balance sheet when the hedge is effective and where the hedge is ineffective the same is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(b) The brmium or discount on forward contracts is amortised as expense or income over the period of the contract.

(c) Gains and losses on roll over or cancellation of derivative contracts which qualify as effective hedge are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the same period in which the hedged item is accounted.

11. Long term Loans:

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or brmium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the income statement.

12. Revenue recognition:

(a) Sale of goods:

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised, when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, as per the terms of contracts and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from sale of the goods. It also includes excise duty and price variations based on the contractual agreements and excludes value added tax / sales tax.

(b) Sale of services:

Service income is recognised as per the terms of the contracts with the customers on proportionate completion method.

(c) Revenue from contracts:

Revenue from contracts is recognised by applying percentage of completion method after providing for foreseeable losses, if any. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of the costs incurred upto the reporting date to the total estimated cost to complete. Foreseeable loss, if any, on the contracts is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of foreseeable loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included in contract revenue is taken into consideration. Contract is reflected at cost till such time the outcome of the contract cannot be ascertained reliably and at releasable value thereafter. Claims are accounted as income acceptance by customer.

(d) Revenue from power distribution business:

Revenue from power distribution business is accounted on the basis of billings to the customers and includes unbilled revenues accrued upto the end of accounting year. Customers are billed as per the tariff rates issued by Electricity Regulatory Commission. Interest is accounted on accrual basis on overdue bills.

(e) Interest income:

13. Employeebenefits:

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans

Company's contributions paid / payable during the year to officer's superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme and labour welfare fund are recognised during the period.

Defined benefit plans

For defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity fund, provident fund and post retirement medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the brsent value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the brsent value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

The Company makes contribution towards provident fund in substance a defined contribution retirement plan. The provident fund is administered by the trustees. The Rules of the Company's Provident Fund administered by a trust, require that if the Board of Trustees are unable to pay interest at the rate declared by the Government under Para 60 of the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, 1972 for the reason that the return on investment is less for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company making interest shortfall as a defined benefit plan. Having regard to the assets of the Fund and return on investments, the Company does not expect any deficiency in the foreseeable future and hence, liability is restricted towards the monthly contributions only.

Actuarial gains / losses are recognised in full in the statement of profit and loss, for the period in which they occur.

Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet rebrsents that brsent value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the brsent value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
