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 represent 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 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies
new standards or amendments to the existing
standards under the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules from time to time. In May 2025, the
MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21, The Effects of
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable with
effect from April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed
the amendment and, based on its evaluation, has
determined that it does not have any significant impact
on its financial statements.
In August 2025, the MCA notified the following
amendments:
1. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendment is applicable with effect from
April 1, 2025 and relates to the classification of
liabilities as current or non-current, including
non-current liabilities with covenants. In the
context of classifying a liability as current, the
amendment removes the requirement that a right
to defer settlement for at least 12 months after
the reporting date must exist. Instead, it requires
that such right should exist and have substance
as at the reporting date. The amendment also
introduces guidance on the classification of
liabilities with covenants. The Company has
assessed these amendments and concluded
that they do not have any impact on its criteria
for classification of liabilities as current or non¬
current.
2. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, and Ind AS
107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
The amendments are applicable with effect from
April 1,2025. The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires
entities to provide information to users of financial
statements regarding the existence of supplier
finance arrangements and to explain the nature
of such arrangements, the carrying amount of
the related liabilities and the range of payment
due dates. Ind AS 107 has also been amended to
include supplier finance arrangements as a factor
that may result in a concentration of liquidity risk.
The Company has reviewed these amendments
and, based on its evaluation, has determined
that they do not have any significant impact on its
financial statements.
3. Ind AS 12, Income Taxes. International Tax
Reform. Pillar Two Model Rules
The amendments are applicable immediately and
provide temporary mandatory relief from deferred
tax accounting in respect of top-up tax. They also
require companies to disclose that they have
applied such relief. The relief applies immediately
and retrospectively. The amendments further
require companies to provide additional
disclosures to compensate for the potential loss
of information resulting from the application
of the relief. Such disclosures are required
for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after April 1, 2025. The Company has applied
the mandatory relief and will evaluate the new
disclosure requirements applicable to its annual
financial statements and provide the necessary
disclosures, as appropriate.
c Terms / rights attached to equity shares:
(i) Equity Shares:
The company has only one class of equity shares having par value of ' 10 per share. Equity shareholders are
entitled to one vote per share held. The dividend provided, if any, by board of directors is subject to approval of
shareholders in Annual General Meeting, except, in case of interim dividend. In the event of liquidation of the
company, the equity shareholders shall be entitled to proportionate share of their holding in the assets remaining
after distribution of all preferential amounts.
(ii) The Company during the preceding 5 years
(A) Has not allotted shares pursuant to contracts without payment received in cash.
(B) Has not issued shares by way of bonus shares.

utilize the retained earnings for making investments for future growth and expansion plans or any other purpose
as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
ii) The equity component of redeemable preference shares represents the residual value of the instrument classified
as equity upon initial recognition, after separately recognising the liability component in accordance with the
applicable accounting standards. The purpose of this reserve is to present the equity portion of the compound
financial instrument separately from its liability component and to reflect the amount attributable to the holders’
equity interest. This component forms part of equity and is not subsequently remeasured.
iii) Security premium represents the premium received on issue of shares over and above the face value of Equity
Shares. Such amount is available for utilization in accordance with the Provisions of Section 52 of the Companies
Act, 2013.
iv) The Capital Redemption Reserve is a statutory, non-distributable reserve created on redemption of preference
shares. It is maintained to preserve the company’s capital base and protect the interests of creditors. The reserve
can be used only for issuing fully paid bonus shares and is not available for dividend.
(B) The details of security given for all loans are as under :
(i) The Working Capital is secured as below:
- Second Charge on movable and immovable assets (both present and future) relating to the specific projects
on pari passu basis.
- First charge on current assets (incl. cash flows, receivables, etc), both present and future, of the specific
projects on pari passu basis
(ii) There is no default in repayment of loan and interest thereon as on March 31,2026 and March 31, 2025.
(iii) The Gross book value of the fixed assets as on March 31,2026 charged in favour of the lenders is ' 9072.67 million
(March 31, 2025'8300.94 million)
(iv) For more security details on bank financing, refer Note-39
(v) The borrowings obtained by the company from banks have been applied for the purposes for which such loans
were taken.
33 Employee Benefits:
(i) Short term employee benefits
AH employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term
employee benefits. Benefits such as Salaries, incentives & allowances, short terms compensated absences, etc., &
the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised in the year in which the employee renders the related service.
(ii) Long term employee benefits
(a) Gratuity (Unfunded):
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees 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
The entity has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (unfunded). The entity’s defined benefit gratuity plan is a
final salary plan for employees. 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.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective
assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the Defined Benefit
Obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has
been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same
method as applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
(b) Leave Encashment (unfunded):
The employees of the company are entitled to leave as per the leave policy of the company. The liability on account
of accumulated leave as on last day of the accounting year is recognised [net of the fair value of plan assets as at
the balance sheet date] at present value of the defined obligation at the balance sheet date based on the actuarial
valuation carried out by an independent actuary using projected unit credit method.
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 Companies risk management is done in close co-ordination with the
board of directors & focuses on actively securing the Companies 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 Companies 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 Companies 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 homogenous groups & assessed for impairment collectively.
Also, the Company does not enter into sales transaction with customers having credit loss history.
(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.
(iii) Maturities of financial liabilities:
The tables below analyse the Companies financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their
contractual maturities for all non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the
contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact
of discounting is not significant.
(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 minimises 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
fluctuationsin price of natural gas ismitigated by company’sabilityto pass on thefluctuations 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. Although payments against Gas procurement bills are in INR however they are
denominated in USD, hence company proposes to start suitable Hedging in addition to passing on the cost to the
end consumers.
(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 Companies exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates
primarily to the Companies long-term debt obligations with floating 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
investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company
will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary, adjust its capital structure. The management monitors
the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders.
(i) AH transactions with related parties are placed before the Audit Committee for its prior approval. An omnibus
approval from Audit Committee is obtained for the related party transactions which are repetitive in nature.
All transactions with related parties entered into during the year under review were at arm’s length basis and in the
ordinary course of business and in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the rules made thereunder,the
SEBI Listing Regulations and your Company’s Policy on Related Party Transactions.”
(ii) Remuneration to Key Managerial Personnel does not include provision for Leave Encashment and Gratuity as it is
provided in the books of account on the basis of actuarial valuation for the Group as a whole and hence individual
figures cannot be identified.
(iii) All the amounts reported in above are exclusive of GST wherever applicable.
3. The company has extended Corporate Guarantee against the loans availed from banks and financial institutions
by associate entities . The aggregate amount of corporate guarantee outstanding as on March 31, 2026 was
' 491.30 Millions (March 31,2025'481.10 Millions).
4. The banks have issued Performance Bank Guarantee in favor of PNGRB (regulatory board) on company’s behalf.
The aggregate amount of performance bank guarantee outstanding as on March 31, 2026 was ' 1581.20 Millions
(March 31, 2025 ' 1581.20 Millions).
*The Company has filed an appeal against the said order before the Hon’ble Appellate Authority Commissioner (Appeals), Central
GST on April 28, 2025.
The company has received judgement from the Hon’ble Appellate Authority Commissioner (Appeals), Central GST dated January 16,
2026 and the judgement is in favour of the company. Hence, there is no liability to be paid.
39 The Company has taken limits for issuance of Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) in favor of PNGRB,
(except Performance bank guarantee for Diu, Gir and Somnath GA, which is unsecured) which is secured
