Nature and purpose of reserves

(a) Securities premium account

Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised only for limited purposes such as issuance of bonus shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

(b) General reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

(c) Retained earnings

The amount that can be distributed by the Company as dividends to its equity shareholders is determined based on the financial statements of the Company and also considering the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.

(d) FVTOCI reserve

The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the Equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Income within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.

(i) The Indian rupee term loan from banks include:

(ii) Hire purchase loans are secured by hypothecation of vehicles acquired out of the loan and taken at an interest rate of 9.50% to 10.50%.

(iii) Deposits from members are accepted at an interest rate of 9.75% to 10.59% (PY - 9.75% to 10.75%) repayable over a period of 1 year to 3 years.

(iv) Inter corporate deposits are accepted at an interest rate of 11.00%

(v) Loans and advances from related parties are at an interest rate of 12.00%

(vi) The Company has not defaulted on any loans payable during the year.

Further, the Company has not paid any interest to any Micro and Small Enterprises during the current and previous year.

Terms and conditions of the above financial liabilities:

Trade payables are non interest bearing and carry a credit period generally between 30 and 60 days For explanations on the Company’s credit risk management processes, refer to Note 49.

Contract assets represents unbilled revenues.

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).

Reconciling the amount of revenue recognised in the statement of profit and loss with the contract price

Due to Company’s nature of business and the type of contracts entered with the customers, the company does not have any difference between the amount of revenue recognized in the statement of profit and loss and the contracted price.

Performance obligation

Information about the Company’s performance obligations are summarised below:

a) Insulation

The revenue from sale of finished goods is recognised at a point in time coinciding with the transfer of control over goods and in case of contracts, revenue is recognised over a period of time based on progress of performance certified by the customer in line with the requirements of Ind AS 115.

b) T rading

The revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised at a point in time coinciding with the transfer of control over goods as per Ind AS 115.

41 Earnings Per Share(EPS)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.

Reconciliation of tax expense and the accounting profit multiplied by Corporate Income tax rate applicable for March 31,2023 and March 31,2022:

The Company exercised the option permitted under section 115BAA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as introduced by the Taxation Laws (.Amendment) Ordinance 2019, in the earlier years. Accordingly, the Company has recognized Provision for Income Tax for the year and re-measured its Deferred tax asset (or/and deferred tax liability) basis the rate prescribed in the said section. The tax on the Company’s profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise on using the standard rate of corporation tax in India (25.168%) as follows:

43 Employee benefits

A. Defined contribution plans

The Company makes contributions to Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised Rs. 82.97 (March 31, 2022: Rs.75.19) for Provident Fund contributions, Rs. 66.16 (March 31, 2022: Rs.58.04) for Superannuation Fund contributions and Rs. 1.67 (March 31, 2022: Rs. 2.24) for Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company has invested the plan assets with the insurer managed funds (Life Insurance Corporation). The insurance company has invested the plan assets in Government Securities, Debt Funds, Equity shares, Mutual Funds, Money Market Instruments and Time Deposits. The expected rate of return on plan asset is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligation.

44 Segment Information Primary Segment

The Company has lease contracts for rent of building and plant & machinery used in its operations. Leases of building used for office purpose have lease terms between 1 and 6 years, and plant & machinery generally have lease terms for 5 years. The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and sub-leasing the leased assets.

The Company also has certain leases of buildings and vehicles with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases with low value. The Company applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.

b. Contingent liabilities

Note i.

a) Matters wherein management has concluded the Company’s liability to be probable have accordingly been provided for in the books.

Also refer Note 29.

b) Matters wherein management has concluded the Company’s liability to be possible have accordingly been disclosed under Note 49b(ii) Contingent liabilities below.

c) Matters wherein management is confident of succeeding in these litigations and have concluded the Company’s liability to be remote. This is based on the relevant facts of judicial precedents and as advised by legal counsel which involves various legal proceedings and claims, in different stages of process.

Based on its evaluation (including expert advice obtained wherever applicable), the Company believes there it has a strong case on merits and is confident that the demand will not be sustained therefore, no consequential adjustments (including related provision) are considered necessary in the financial statements in this regard.

c. Petition filed with National Company Law' Tribunal

The erstwhile Managing Director of the Company had filed petition with National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") under sections 241 to 244 of the Companies Act, 2013 during financial year 2018-19. He has sought certain relief and action against the directors. The Company has intimated to the stock exchange about the matter filed with the NCLT by the erstwhile Managing Director. The matter is pending before NCLT and there have been no material updates to this matter. Based on the review of the petition, the Board is of the view that these matters have no effect on financial statements of the Company.

48 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

a) Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

(i) Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options — Company as lessee

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised

The Company has lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.

b) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.

The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Company

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds where remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term of defined benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 45.

(iii) Allowance for slow/ non-moving inventory and obsolescence

An allowance for Inventory is recognised for cases where the realisable value is estimated to be lower than the inventory carrying value. The inventory allowance is estimated taking into account various factors, including prevailing sales prices of inventory item, gross margins and losses associated with obsolete / slow-moving / redundant inventory items. The Company has, based on these assessments, made adequate provision in the books.

(iv) Allowance for expected credit loss of trade receivables (ECL Provision)

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The Company undertakes a detailed review of the credit worthiness of clients before extending credit. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on expected cash flows.

Trade receivables comprise a large number of customers. The Company has credit evaluation policy for each customer and based on the evaluation, credit limit of each customer is defined. Net Trade receivables as on March 31, 2023 is Rs.4,992.63 (March 31, 2022 - 4,034.32). The Company believes the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)

The Company uses the expected credit loss model as per Ind AS 109 - ‘Financial Instruments’ to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix considers available external and internal credit risk factors and the Company’s historical experience in respect of customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 12

(v) Leases - estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an

asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

(vi) Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and \the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

49 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of bank and other borrowings, deposits, lease liabilities, trade and other payables and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support the entity’s operations. The entity’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The entity is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The entity’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, FVTOCI investments and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The entity’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the entity’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The entity manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the entity’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The Company has not hedged any portion of its expected foreign currency sales as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)

(iii) . Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The Company only deals with parties which has good credit rating/ worthiness given by external rating agencies or based on management's internal assessment. The maximum exposure to the credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively.

(iv) . Liquidity Risk

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank deposits and loans. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans, current investments, other financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

i. The fair values of quoted equity investments are derived from quoted market prices in active markets.

ii. The fair values of certain unquoted equity investments have been estimated using Discounted Cash-flow Model (DCF). The valuation is based on certain assumptions like forecast cash-flows, discount rate, etc.

iii. The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return, adjusted for the Credit spread considered by the lenders for instruments of the similar maturity.

iv. Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices.

51 Fair Value Hierarchy

Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values. The management assessed that the cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, fixed deposits, bank overdrafts and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Notes

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

There have been no transfers between the levels during the period.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate.

They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

52 Capital Management

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

The Company’s capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long-term and short-term goals of the Company. The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and long-term fleet expansion plans. The funding requirements are met through internal accruals and other long-term/short-term borrowings. The Company’s policy is aimed at combination of short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company monitors capital employed using a Debt equity ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the entity’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current and previous periods. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.
