SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :

The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements are listed below. Such accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

a. Basis of preparation

i. Compliance with Ind AS :-

These standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, as amended from time to time and other relevant provisions of the Act.

ii. Historical cost convention :-

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following :

a) Certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at Fair Value.

(Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date).

iii. Current and Non Current Classification :-

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

b. Use of estimates and critical accounting judgements :-

In preparation of the financial statements, the Company makes judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and the associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

c. Property, plant and equipment :-

i. Tangible Assets :-

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation, amortization and impairment. Historical cost includes purchase price including non refundable taxes and directly attributable expenses relating to the acquisition of the items to bring the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Trial run expenses (net of revenue) are capitalized. Borrowing costs incurred during the period of construction is capitalized as part of cost of the qualifying assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. The gain or loss arising on disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Capital Work in Progress (‘CWIP’) comprises of cost of assets not ready for intended use as on the Balance sheet date. CWIP is not depreciated until such time as the relevant asset is completed and ready for its intended use.

In case of new projects and in case of substantial modernization / expansion at existing units of the company, all pre-operative expenditure specifically for the project, incurred up to the date of completion, is capitalized and added pro-rata to the cost of fixed assets.

ii. Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less accumulated amortization/depletion and impairment loss, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing costs, and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the intangible assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

iii. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets :-

a. Depreciation on Fixed Asset is provided to the extent of depreciable amount on the Straight Line Method (SLM). Depreciation in Provided based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 or based on technical estimate made by the Company, except in respect of following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in the Schedule II are used;

b. Depreciation on addition to the Fixed Asset or on sale/discardment is calculated pro rata from the date of such addition or up to the date of such sale/discardment, as the case may be;

iv. Leases:-

On April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116, 'Leases', using modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted.The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as lessor : Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Company as lessee : The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets : The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment test.

Lease liabilities : At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets : The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

d. Impairment of non-financial assets - property, plant and equipment and intangible assets :-

The Company assesses at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets or group of assets, called cash generating units (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss, if any is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent, asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specific to the assets.

e. Investment Properties :-

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as Investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure are capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses if any.

f. Government Grant :-

Grant and subsidies from the government are recognized if the following conditions are satisfied,

i. There is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to it.

ii. Such benefits are earned and reasonable certainty exists of the collection.

Industrial Promotional Subsidy : Government grants received with reference to Industrial Promotional Subsidy under Package Scheme of Incentives, 2007 is treated as grant related to income and is recognized as other income in the statement of Profit and Loss as and when company makes the sale.

g. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows :-

i. Raw materials :

Steel Segment : These are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.

Copper Segment : These are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

EPC Segment : These are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all charges in bringing the materials to the place of usage, excluding refundable duties and taxes.

ii. Work - in - Process : Work - in - Process is valued at Raw material cost plus conversion cost depending upon the stage of completion or estimated net realizable value whichever is lower. Work in progress in case of construction contracts is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

iii. Finished goods : These are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

iv. Stock-in-Trade : These are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

v. Stock in Transit : Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred upto the date of balance sheet.

vi. Stores and Spares : Stores & Spare parts are valued at lower of cost (FIFO) or net realizable value and other minor's (Stores & Spares) are written off in the year of purchase.

vii. Scrap : These are valued at net realizable value.

viii. Obsolete inventories are identified and written down to net realizable value. Slow moving and defective inventories are identified and provided to net realizable value.

h. Revenue Recognition :-

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized on transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

In certain customer contracts shipping and handling services are treated as a distinct separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue for such services over time when the performance obligation is completed.

i. Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of contract with customer. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, risk of obsolesce and loss pass to the customer and the Company has present right to payment, all of which occurs at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of goods. The Company collects goods and services tax (GST) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Certain of the Company’s sales contracts provide for provisional pricing based on the price on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), as specified in the contract, when shipped. Final settlement of the price is based on the applicable price for a specified future period. The Company’s provisionally priced sales are marked to market using the relevant forward prices for the future period specified in the contract and is adjusted in revenue.

Revenue from operations comprises proceeds from sale of scrap net of disposal expenses.

ii. Sale of wind energy :-

Revenue from sale of wind energy is recognized when delivered and measured based on rates as per bilateral contractual agreements with buyers and at rate arrived at based on the principles laid down under the relevant Tariff Regulations as notified by the regulatory bodies, as applicable.

iii. Contract Revenue :-

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised good or service to a customer. The revenue is recognized to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of asset (good or service) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

Contract Balances :-

Trade Receivable :- Trade Receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (p) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

Contract Assets :- Contract Assets are recognized when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

Contract Liabilities :- Contract Liabilities are recognized when there is billing in excess of revenue and advance received from customers.

iv. Interest income :-

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

v. Dividend income :-

Dividend income is recognized in the statement of profit and loss only when the right to receive payment is established, provided it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

vi. Others

Revenue relating to insurance claims and interest on delayed or overdue payments from trade receivable is recognized when no significant uncertainty as to measurability or collection exists. Export benefits are accounted for in the year of export based on eligibility and when there is no significant uncertainty in receiving the same. Any other income is recognized on accrual basis.

vii. Revenue from Service :-

Revenue from services is recognized over time by measuring progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation for the services rendered. The Company collects service tax /GST on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.

viii. Penalty and Liquidated Damages :-

Penalty and liquidated damages are accounted for as and when these are realized and/or considered recoverable by the company.

ix Profit on Sale of Investment :-

Profit on sale of investment is recognized upon transfer of title by the company and is determined as the difference between the sales price and the then carrying value of the investment.

i. Borrowing Costs :-

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

j. Employees Benefit :-

The liability for Gratuity benefits, on the basis of amounts contributed to LIC’s Group Gratuity Policy and the difference between the amounts paid on retirement and recovered from LIC, is charged to Profit & Loss Account. Employer’s Contribution to Provident Fund is debited to Profit & Loss Account. Premium paid for Workmen Compensation Insurance is charged to profit and loss account net off claims received, if any.

k. Foreign Currency Transactions :-

i. Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is also the company’s functional and presentation currency.

ii. Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the day of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, remaining unsettled at the period end are translated at closing rates. The difference in translation of monetary assets and liabilities and realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

l. Tax Expenses :-

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in the comprehensive income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

i. Current Tax :-

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of Deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

m. Earnings Per Share :-

The Company reports basic and diluted Earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Ind AS 33 on “Earnings per Share”. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period (without taking impact of OCI) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

n. Cash Flow Statement :-

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method where by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non cash nature and any deferral or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.

o. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :-

A provision is recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made 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. Provisions are measured at the present value of best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements.

p. Financial instruments :-

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A. Financial assets :-i. Classification :-

The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset.

ii. Initial recognition and measurement :-

All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition.

iii. Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in below categories :

a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost (AC) : A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) : A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) : A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.

d) Other Equity Investments : All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

iv. Derecognition :-

A financial asset is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.

v. Investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates :-

The company has accounted for its investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at cost. The company assesses whether there is any indication that these investments may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the investment is considered for impairment based on the fair value thereof.

vi. Cash and cash equivalents :-

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

vii. Impairment of other financial assets :-

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are trade receivables or contract revenue receivables etc.

viii. Reclassification of other financial assets :-

The company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. For financial assets which are debt instruments and equity instruments for which company has not elected for irrevocable option of FVTOCI, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The company determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the company’s operations.

B. Financial liabilities :-

i. Initial recognition and measurement :-

All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directly attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.

ii. Subsequent measurement :-

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

C. Offsetting Financial Instruments :-

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is included in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

D. Fair Value Measurement :-

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole :-

i. Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

ii. Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

iii. Level 3 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

q. Events Occurring after the Reporting Period :-

The company adjusts the amount recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting material events after the reporting period and does not adjust the amount to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular prior period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.

r. Prior Period Items :-

Errors of material amount relating to prior period(s) are disclosed by a note with nature of prior period errors, amount of correction of each such prior period presented retrospectively, to the extent practicable along with change in basic and diluted earnings per share. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular period then the circumstances that lead to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in Notes on Accounts.
