3.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent
Assets
Provision is recognised when the Company has
a present obligation as a result of past events &
it is probable that the outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation & in respect of which
reliable estimates can be made. A disclosure for
contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation that may, but probably will not require
an outflow of resources. When there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation in respect of which
the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision/ disclosure is made. Contingent assets
are not recognised in the financial statement.
Provisions & contingencies are reviewed at each
balance sheet date & adjusted to reflect the correct
management estimates.
3.17 Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals
or accruals of past or accruals of past or future
operating cash receipts or payments & item of income
or expenses associated with investing or financing
cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing &
financing activities of the Company are segregated.
3.18 Events occurring after the Reporting Date
Adjusting events (that provides evidence of condition
that existed at the balance sheet date) occurring
after the balance sheet date are recognized in the
Standalone Financial Statements. Material non
adjusting events (that are inductive of conditions that
arose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occurring
after the balance sheet date that represents material
change & commitment affecting the financial position
are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.
3.19 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by
dividing the net profit or loss [excluding other
comprehensive income] for the year attributable
to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the
year. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year is adjusted for events
such as bonus issue, bonus element in a right issue,
shares split & reserve share splits [consolidation of
shares] that have changed the number of equity
shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources. For the purpose of calculating
diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss
[excluding other comprehensive income] for the
year attributable to equity shareholders & the
weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
3.20 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
instruments also include derivative contracts such
as foreign exchange forward contracts, cross
currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps,
currency options and embedded derivatives in
the host contract.
a. Financial Assets
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially
at fair value (plus transaction costs
attributable to the acquisition of the
financial assets, in the case of financial
assets are not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss).
(ii) Classifications
The company classifies its financial assets
as subsequently measured at either
amortized cost or fair value depending
on the company’s business model for
managing the financial assets and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of
the financial assets.
(iii) Business model assessment
The company assesses the objective of a
business model in which an asset is held at
a portfolio level because this best reflects
the way the business is managed, and
information is provided to management.
Assessment whether contractual cash
flows are solely payments of principal
and interest
For the purposes of this assessment,
‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of
the financial asset on initial recognition.
‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for
the time value of money and for the credit
risk associated with the principal amount
outstanding during a period, for other basic
lending risks, costs (e.g. liquidity risk and
administrative costs), and profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash
flows are solely payments of principal
and interest, the company considers the
contractual terms of the instrument. This
includes assessing whether the financial
asset contains a contractual term that
could change the timing or amount of
contractual cash flows such that it would
not meet this condition.
Financial Assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at
amortised cost only if both of the following
conditions are met:
- It is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold assets to
collect contractual cash flows.
- the contractual terms of the financial
asset represents contractual cash
flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest.
After initial measurement, such financial
assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the EIR method.
Amortised cost is calculated by
considering any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation
is included as finance income in the profit
or loss. The losses arising from impairment
are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is measured at
amortized cost only if both of the following
conditions are met:
- it is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows.
- the contractual terms of the financial
asset represent contractual cash
flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest.
On initial recognition, the Company makes
an irrevocable election on an instrument-
by-instrument basis to present the
subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income pertaining to
investments in equity instruments, other
than equity investment which are held for
trading. Subsequently, they are measured
at fair value with gains and losses arising
from changes in fair value recognised
in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the 'Reserve for equity
instruments through other comprehensive
income'. The cumulative gain or loss is not
reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of
the investments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Profit and Loss (FVTPL)
Investments in equity instruments are
classified as at FVTPL, unless the Company
irrevocably elects on initial recognition
to present subsequent changes in fair
value in other comprehensive income for
investments in equity instruments which
are not held for trading.
Other financial assets are measured at
fair value through profit or loss unless it is
measured at amortised cost or at fair value
through other comprehensive income on
initial recognition. The transaction costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of
financial assets and liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss are immediately
recognised in statement of the profit and loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries, Jointly
Controlled Entities and Associates
Investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlled
entities and associates are measured at
cost less impairment as per the Ind AS 27
-Separate Financial Statements.
Impairment of investments
The Company reviews its carrying value of
investments carried at cost or amortised cost
annually, or more frequently when there is
indication for impairment. If the recoverable
amount is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is accounted for.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a
part of a financial asset or part of a group
of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognized (i.e. removed from the
company’s balance sheet) 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 or has assumed an obligation
to pay the received cash flows in full
without material delay to a third party
under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement;
and either (a) the company has
transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) the
company has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset.
When the company has transferred
its rights to receive cash flows from an
asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if and to
what extent it has retained the risks and
rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially
all of the risks and rewards of the asset,
nor transferred control of the asset, the
company continues to recognize the
transferred asset to the extent of the
company’s continuing involvement. In that
case, the company also recognizes an
associated liability. The transferred asset
and the associated liability are measured
on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form
of a guarantee over the transferred asset
is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the
maximum amount of consideration that
the company could be required to repay.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the
difference between the carrying amount
of the asset (or the carrying amount
allocated to the portion of the asset
derecognised) and the sum of (i) the
consideration received (including any
new asset obtained less any new liability
assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or
loss that had been recognised in the OCI is
recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses the expected
credit losses associated with its assets
carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt
instruments on a forward-looking basis.
The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk.
With regard to trade receivable, the
Company applies the simplified approach
as permitted by the Ind AS 109, Financial
Instruments, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from the
initial recognition of the trade receivables.
For all other financial assets, expected
credit losses are measured at an amount
equal to the 12 month expected credit
losses or at an amount equal to the life
time expected credit losses if the credit
risk on the financial assets has increased
significantly since initial recognition.
b. Financial Liabilities
i. Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initial
recognition as financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss or amortised
cost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised
initially at fair value and in the case of
amortised cost, net of directly attributable
transaction costs.
ii. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities
depends on their classification, as
described below:
Financial Liabilities measured at
amortised cost
After the initial recognition, interest¬
bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the
liabilities are derecognised as well as
through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by considering
any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance
costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss include financial liabilities
held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at
fair value through profit or loss. Financial
liabilities are classified as held for trading
if they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading
are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition at fair value through profit or
loss are designated as such at the initial
date of recognition, and only if the criteria
in the Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities
designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses
attributable to changes in own credit risk
are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses
are not subsequently transferred to the P&L.
However, the Company may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity. All the
other changes in fair value of such liability are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
iii. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The company derecognises a financial
liability when its contractual obligations
are discharged or cancelled or expire.
c. Modifications of financial assets and financial
liabilities
Financial assets
If the terms of a financial asset are modified,
the company evaluates whether the cash flows
of the modified asset are substantially different.
If the cash flows are substantially different, then
the contractual rights to cash flows from the
original financial asset are deemed to have
expired. In this case, the original financial asset
is derecognised and a new financial asset is
recognised at fair value.
If the cash flows of the modified asset carried at
amortised cost are not substantially different,
then the modification does not result in
derecognition of the financial asset. In this case,
the company recalculates the gross carrying
amount of the financial asset and recognises
the amount arising from adjusting the gross
carrying amount as a modification gain or
loss in profit or loss. If such a modification is
carried out because of financial difficulties of
the borrower, then the gain or loss is presented
together with impairment losses. In other cases,
it is presented as interest income. The gain
/ loss is recognised in other equity in case of
transaction with shareholders.
Financial liabilities
Borrowings and other financial liabilities
are initially recognised at fair value (net of
transaction costs incurred). Difference between
the fair value and the transaction proceeds on
initial is recognised as an asset / liability based
on the underlying reason for the difference.
Subsequently all financial liabilities are measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method. The company derecognises a
financial liability when its terms are modified,
and the cash flows of the modified liability
are substantially different. In this case, a new
financial liability based on the modified terms is
recognised at fair value. The difference between
the carrying amount of the financial liability
extinguished and the new financial liability with
modified terms is recognised in profit or loss. The
gain / loss is recognised in other equity in case
of transaction with shareholders.
The Company has computed the Equity
component of the Preference Shares
considering the terms of the RPS to be non¬
cumulative and further modified the estimates
of future cash flows.
3.21 Fair Value Measurements
These Standalone Financial Statements are
prepared under the historical cost convention,
except certain financial assets & liabilities measured
at fair value (refer accounting policy on financial
instruments) as per relevant applicable Ind AS.
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. The fair value measurement
is based on the presumption that the transaction
to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place
either in the principal market for the asset or liability,
or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The
principal or the most advantageous market must
be accessible to the Company.
Management applies valuation techniques to
determine the fair value of financial instruments
(where active market quotes are not available)
and non-financial assets. This involves developing
estimates and assumptions consistent with how
market participants would price the instrument.
Management bases its assumptions on observable
data as far as possible but this is not always
available. In that case management uses the best
information available. Estimated fair values may
vary from the actual prices that would be achieved
in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest. A fair value measurement of
a non-financial asset takes into account a market
participant's ability to generate economic benefits
by using the asset in its highest & best use or by
selling it to another market participant that would
use the asset in its highest & best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that
are appropriate in the circumstances & for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair
value, maximising the use of relevant observable
inputs & minimising the use of unobservable
inputs. All assets & liabilities for which fair value is
measured or disclosed in the Standalone 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:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable
For assets & liabilities that are recognised in the
Standalone Financial Statements on a recurring
basis, the Company determines whether
transfers have occurred between Levels in
the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.
3.22 The previous year numbers have been reclassified
wherever necessary. Unless otherwise stated,
all amounts are in Million Indian Rupees. Items
reflecting as 0.00 denotes value less than? 5000.
3.23 3.23 Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies
new standards or amendments to the existing
standards under Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

its evaluation has determined that it does not have
any significant impact in its financial statements.

who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable
on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for
15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is an unfunded plan. The Group
has made provision in the accounts for Gratuity based on actuarial valuation. The particulars under the Ind AS
19 "Employee Benefits” furnished below are those which are relevant and available to the Group for this year.
Characteristics of defined benefit plan

a final salary plan for employees.Gratuity is paid from entity as and when it becomes due and is paid as per
entity scheme for Gratuity.
During the year, there were no plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
Risks associated with defined benefit plan
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and entity is exposed to the Following Risks:
(i) Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present
value of the liability requiring higher provision.
(ii) Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future
salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will
increase the plan's liability.
(iii) Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Entity has to
manage pay-out based on pay as you go basis from own funds.
(iv) Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement
age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Salary escalation & attrition rate are considered as advised by the Company; they appear to be in line with the
industry practice considering promotion and demand & supply of the employees.
During the year, there were no plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
Any benefit payment and contribution to plan assets is considered to occur at the end of the year to depict
liability and fund movement in the disclosures.
#The rate of discount is considered based on market yield on Government Bonds having currency & terms in consistence with the currency
& terms of the post-employment benefit obligations.
34 Financial risk management:
The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, price risk and market risk. This note
explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to & how the entity manages the risk & the related impact in
the Standalone Financial Statements. The Company’s risk management is done in close co-ordination with the board
of directors & focuses on actively securing the Company’s short, medium & long-term cash flows by minimizing the
exposure to volatile financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns. The
Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options.
The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below:
(i) Credit risk:
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.
The Company is exposed to credit risk from trade receivables, bank deposits, loans,investments and other
financial assets.
Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk on
such fixed deposits.
The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the counter party, taking into account the financial
condition, current economic trends, & analysis of historical bad debts & ageing of accounts receivable. Individual
limits are set accordingly.
The Company trades with recognized & credit worthy third parties and balance credit sales it's against securities
in the form of customer security deposits. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit
terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, trade receivable balances are monitored on an
on-going basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition,
a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups & assessed for impairment
collectively. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. Also, the Company does not enter into
sales transaction with customers having credit loss history.
There is no significant credit risk with related parties of the Company. Adequate expected credit losses are
recognized as per the assessments.
(ii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they
are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to
the Company’s reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on
the basis of expected cash flows. Short term liquidity requirements comprises mainly of trade payables arising in
the normal course of business and is managed primarily through internal accruals and/or short term borrowings.
Long term liquidity requirement is assessed by the management on periodical basis and managed through
internal accruals as well as from undrawn borrowing facilities.
(iv) 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.such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates & equity prices — will affect the Company's
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
(v) Commodity Price Risk :
Commodity price risk arises from the change in the commodity prices that may have an adverse effect on the
Company's result in the current reporting period and future periods. The company's exposure to commodity risk
is in relation to volatility in prices of natural gas. The administered price determined by the PPAC cell of Petroleum
and Natural Gas Regulatory Board minimizes the company's exposure to price risk . The Company manages its
risk by maintaining a balanced procurement at administered and spot purchase rates. Further, risk arising on
account of fluctuations in price of natural gas is mitigated by company's ability to pass on the fluctuations in
prices to customers.
The Company invests its temporary surplus funds in various mutual funds and fixed deposits. In order to manage
its price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the
risk management policies.
(vi) Foreign exchange risk:
The Company is not directly exposed to foreign exchange risk as there is no direct foreign currency transaction is
entered into by Company.
(vii) 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 Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates
primarily to the Companies long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company’s investments in fixed deposits are at fixed interest rates.
35 Capital Management:
Total equity as shown in the balance sheet includes equity share capital, general reserves , capital redemption reserve,
retained earnings,etc.
The company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it
can continue to provide returns for shareholders & benefits for other stakeholders and maintain an optimal structure
to reduce the cost of capital.
Net Debt = Total term loan borrowings less cash & cash equivalents including current investments in mutual funds.
Total 'equity' means share capital issued (Equity Shares & Equity component of Preference Shares) &
accumulated reserves.
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain
investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company

Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either
observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
Level-1 : Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level-2 : Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level-1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level-3 : Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole
or in part using a valuation model based on the assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable
current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
Performance obligations -Connection, Service and Fitting Income
Connection charges from customers are Recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied:
(i) Industrial & Commercial Customers: The performance obligations as per the contractual arrangement with the
customer is to deliver gas as per the contract. Consequently, the connection charges are to be recognised when
the amount is received from the Customer.
(ii) Domestic Customer: The connection charges are to be recognised when the amount is received from the
Customer. It is reasonably expected by the Company that the gas is procured by the customer and supplied
by the Company on a Regular basis. Consequently the connection charges are to be recognised when the
connection facility is provided.

The Company has continued to account for interest income for the period of default, as the management remains
hopeful and reasonably confident about the recoverability of the outstanding loan and interest, based on ongoing
discussions with the joint venture partners. In view of this, and considering the overall circumstances, no impairment
has been considered necessary in respect of the said loan and related investments in the joint venture.
57 For Land Advances
The Company had acquired land at a cost ofH181.25 million in the Patan District for the purpose of developing a solar
park. As of March 2025, an advance ofH69.16 million remains outstanding and 108.29 for the March 2024.which was
originally extended towards the proposed acquisition of additional land in the area.
Subsequently, the Company has reassessed its plans and, based on strategic and operational considerations, has
decided not to pursue further land acquisitions in the region. The focus has now shifted towards initiating recovery
of the outstanding advance. The Company is actively engaged in discussions and necessary follow-ups with the
concerned parties to ensure an appropriate resolution of the matter.

outstanding for a period longer than what is generally expected under normal trade practices. In light of this, the
Company is reviewing these transactions to ensure alignment with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act,
