1. Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE)
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment (‘PPE’) recognised
as of the transition date, measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost.
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or
loss with other income or other expense line item on net basis, respectively.

plant and equipment, is provided over the useful life of assets based on management estimates which is in line with
the useful life indicated in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on all assets is provided on
straight line basis. Given below are the estimated useful lives for each class of property, plant and equipment:
