The financial statements have been brpared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the brparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the brvious year except as stated otherwise. 2. Use of estimates The brparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/ materialise. 3. Fixed Assets and debrciation Fixed Assets are stated at their cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated debrciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises of all costs incurred tobring the assets to their location and working condition up to the date the assets are put to use. Expenditure incurred during construction period: Apart from costs related directly to the construction of an asset, indirect expenses incurred up to the date of commencement of commercial production which are incidental and related to construction are capitalised as part of the construction cost. Income, if any, earned during the construction period is deducted from the indirect costs. Debrciation on assets is provided, pro-rata for the period of use, by the Straight Line Method (SLM) as brscribed in Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Debrciation of assets purchased / sold during a period is proportionately charged. The Company capitalizes software where it is reasonably estimated that the software has an enduring useful life. Software is amortised over an estimated useful life of 3 years. Debrciation and amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. An asset is considered as impaired in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on Impairment of Assets, when at balance sheet date there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, exceeds it recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the asset’s net selling price and value in use). The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss in the profit and loss account. 4. Investments Investments are classified as current or long-term in accordance with Accounting Standard 13 on Accounting for Investments. Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value. Any reduction in the carrying amount and any reversals of such reductions are charged or credited to the profit and loss account. Long-term investments are stated at cost. Provision is made to recognize a decline, other than temporary, in the value of such investments. 5. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised when it is earned and no significant uncertainty exists as to its realisation or collection. Revenue from service rendered is recognised at the time of completion of the services rendered, when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and the service is duly completed. Revenue excludes service tax, wherever recovered. 6. Inventories Consumables, construction materials and stores andspares are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.Obsolete, defective, unserviceable and slow/non-movin stocks are duly provided for. 7. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, as defined in Accounting Standard 16 – “Borrowing Costs” are capitalised as part of the cost of such asset up to the date when the asset is ready for its intended use.

Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits (benefits which are payable within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render service) are measured at cost. Long-term employee benefits (benefits which are payable after the end of twelve months from the end of the period in which the employees render service) and post employment benefits (benefits which are payable after completion of employment) are measured on a discounted basis by the Projected Unit Credit Method on the basis of annual third party actuarial valuations. Contributions to Provident Fund, a defined contribution plan are made in accordance with the statute, and are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. The costs of providing leave encashment and gratuity, defined benefit plans, are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, on the basis of actuarial valuations carried out by third party actuaries at each balance sheet date. The leave encashment and gratuity benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet rebrsents the brsent value of the obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the discounted value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account 9. Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates brvailing on the date of the transaction.

All exchange differences, are dealt with in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs and capitalized to fixed assets. 10. Income Tax Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard 22 on Accounting for Taxes on Income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences. They are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and tax regulations. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date is reduced to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be realised.
