The financial statements have been brpared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for subsidy, insurance claim and carbon credit, which are accounted for on cash/ acceptance basis due to uncertainty of realization. The accounting policies, in all material aspects, have been consistently applied by the company and are consistent with those used in the brvious year. The brparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and income and expenses for the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal; operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are stated below : (A) Fixed Assets Fixed assets except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated debrciation and impairment losses. Freehold land is carried at cost of acquisition. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Fixed Assets are classified as tangible and intangible assets. (B) Impairment of assets The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on internal or external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which rebrsents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their "value in use". The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their brsent value at the weighted average cost of capital. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized immediately as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. (C) Debrciation Debrciation on tangible fixed assets is calculated over the useful life of the fixed assets as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 by using Straight Line method. However, fixed assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully debrciated in the year of addition. Debrciation on additions / disposals during the year is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition / disposal. Residual value of all tangible and intangible assets is considered at 5% of the original cost. Leased assets of the Company are amortized over the useful life / operating period of the lease. Intangible assets are amortised over useful life not exceeding 5 years. (D) Borrowing Costs Borrowing Costs relating to acquisition/construction of qualifying assets are capitalized until the time of substantial activities necessary to brpare the qualifying assets for their intended use are complete. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue. (E) Expenditure on New/Expansion Projects Expenditure directly relating to the construction activity is capitalized. Pre-operative and indirect expenditure incurred during construction period is capitalized as part of indirect construction cost to the extent to which the expenditure is related to the construction or is incidental thereto. Income attributable to the project is deducted from the total of such expenditure. (F) Leases Where the Company is the lessee Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and brsent value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged to Statement of Profit & Loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized. Capitalized leased assets are debrciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item,are classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (G) Grants and Subsidies Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Where the grant or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the related asset. (H) Investments Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on individual investment basis.

Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete the sale.

Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
