2.10 Provisions and contingencies
a) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's 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 recognised as interest expense.
i) Gratuity and compensated absences provision
Refer note 2.6 for provision relating to gratuity and compensated absences.
ii) Mine restoration/ assets retirement obligation
Mine restoration expenditure is provided for in the Statement of Profit and Loss based on present value of estimated expenditure required to be made towards restoration and rehabilitation at the time of vacation of mine. The cost estimates are reviewed periodically and are adjusted to reflect known developments which may have an impact on the cost estimates or life of operations. The unwinding of the discount on provision is shown as a finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
2.11 Employee share based payments
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Board of India [Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity] Regulation, 2021 ["SBEB Regulation”], the shareholders of the Company had approved certain share based payment schemes for the employees. The Company has created a trust "Samruddhi Employees Trust (formerly known as Jindal SAW Employee Welfare Trust) (the Trust!' for day to day operations and managing these schemes. The Company in its standalone financial statements consider the Trust as its extension inspite of being a separate legal entity and shares held by the Trust are considered as treasury shares and disclosed as treasury shares reserve under other equity.
3. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and judgements, which have material effect on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements:
(a) Property, plant and equipment
External adviser or internal technical team assess the remaining useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that the assigned useful lives and residual value are reasonable, the estimates and assumptions made to determine depreciation are critical to the Company's financial position and performance.
(b) Income taxes
Management judgement is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company reviews at each Balance Sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to material adjustment to the amounts reported in the standalone financial statements.
(c) Contingencies
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
(d) Allowance for uncollected trade receivables and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not to be collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
(e) Estimation of Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO)
Management's estimate of the DBO is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may materially impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
(f) Impairment of Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are carried at cost. At each Balance Sheet date, the management assesses the indicators of impairment of such investments. This requires assessment of several external and internal factors including capitalisation rate, key assumption used in discounted cash flow models (such as revenue growth, unit price and discount rates) or sales comparison method which may affect the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.
4. Other Accounting Policies
4.1 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors of Jindal Saw Limited has appointed Group CEO who assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and make strategic decisions. The Group CEO has been identified as being the chief decision maker. Refer note 42 for segment information provided.
4.2 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
4.3 Other intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recognised a) when the Company controls the asset, b) it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and c) the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Computer softwares are capitalised at the amounts paid to acquire the respective license for use and are amortised over the period of license, generally not exceeding 6 years on straight-line basis. The assets' useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end.
4.4 Investment in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over entity.
Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.
4.5 Investment in associates and joint ventures Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The investment in associate are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.
Joint Ventures
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venturer is a party to a joint venture that has joint control of that joint venture.
The investment in joint venture are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.
4.6 Impairment of assets
Non-current assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. Also refer note 3(f).
4.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and at bank, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdraft as they are being considered as an integral part of the Company's cash management. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
4.8 Leases
Lease accounting by lessee
The Company as lessee will measure the right-of-use asset at cost by recognition a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on initial measurement of the right-of-use asset at the commencement date of the lease.
The cost of the right-of-use asset will comprise:
i) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any incentives received,
iii) any initial direct costs incurred,
iv) an estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate cannot be readily determined incremental borrowing rate will be considered. Interest on lease liability in each period during the lease will be the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
Lease payments will comprise the following payments for the right-of-use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:
i) fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable,
ii) variable lease payments,
iii) amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees,
iv) the exercise price of a purchase option, if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option,
v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset after the commencement date will be at cost, the value of right-of-use asset will be initially measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss and adjustment for any re¬ measurement of the lease liability.
The right-of-use asset will be depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of lease term, unless lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option, in such case the Company will depreciate asset to the end of the useful life.
Subsequent measurement of the lease liability after the commencement date will reflect the initially measured liability increased by interest on lease liability, reduced by lease payments and re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any re-assessment or lease modification.
Right-of-use asset and lease liability are presented on the face of Balance Sheet. Depreciation charge on right-of-use assets is presented under depreciation expense as a separate line item. Interest charge on lease liability is presented under finance costs as a separate line item. Under the Statement of Cash Flows, cash flow from lease payments including interest are presented under financing activities. Short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are presented as cash flows from operating activities. Low value lease threshold is ' 1.2 lakhs per annum.
Lease accounting by lessor
The Company as a lessor needs to classify each of its leases either as an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.
Finance lease
At the commencement date, the Company will recognise assets held under a finance lease in its Balance Sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Net investment is the discount value of lease receipts net of initial
direct costs using the interest rate implicit in the lease. For subsequent measurement of finance leased assets, the Company will recognise interest income over the lease period, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment in the lease.
Operating lease
The Company will recognise lease receipts from operating leases as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. The Company will recognise costs, including depreciation incurred in earning the lease income as expense.
4.9 Foreign currency translation
a) Functional and presentation currency
Standalone financial statements have been presented in Indian Rupees ('), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end exchange rates are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other income/other expenses, as appropriate.
Exchange gain and loss on trade receivables, trade payables and other than financing activities on a net basis are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, as other income and as other expenses respectively. Foreign exchange gain and loss on financing activities to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest expenses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs and balance gain and loss are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as other income and as other expenses respectively.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
4.10 Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at the end of each period. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss.
4.11 Equity share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs net of taxes directly attributable to the issue of new equity shares are reduced from retained earnings, net of taxes.
4.12 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
4.13 Compound financial instruments
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at fair value of a similar liability that does not
have an equity component. The equity component is recognised initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and the equity components, if material, in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.
On material modification of compound financial instrument original debt component is derecognised and the same is re-recognised at its new fair value. Any gain/loss on such modification is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
4.14 Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period comprises of tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate, the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses and previous year tax adjustments.
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in such cases the tax is also recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Any subsequent change in direct tax on items initially recognised in equity or other comprehensive income is also recognised in equity or other comprehensive income, such change could be for change in tax rate.
The current income tax charge or credit is calculated on the basis of the tax law enacted after considering allowances, exemptions and unused tax losses under the provisions of the applicable Income Tax Laws. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset, and presented as net.
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, and presented as net.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
4.15 Government grants
Government grants with a condition to purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets are initially measured based on grant receivable under the scheme. Such grants are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Amount of benefits receivable in excess of grant income accrued based on usage of the assets is accounted as Government grant received in advance. Changes in estimates are recognised prospectively over the remaining life of the assets.
The Company has option to present the Government grant related to property, plant and equipment by deducting the grant from the carrying value of the asset and to present the non-monetary grant at a nominal amount. The Company has not availed this option in current financial year.
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Government revenue grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented with other income.
4.16 Dividend distribution
Annual dividend distribution to the shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders. Any interim dividend paid is recognised on approval by Board of Directors. Dividend payable is recognised directly in equity.
4.17 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the net profit for the year (without taking impact of other comprehensive income) attributable to the shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average numbers of shares also includes fixed number of equity shares that are issuable on conversion of compulsorily convertible preference shares, debentures or any other instrument, from the date consideration is receivable (generally the date of their issue) of such instruments.
The diluted earnings per share is computed on the same basis as basic earnings per share, after adjusting the effect of potential dilutive equity shares unless the impact is anti-dilutive, using the net profit for the year attributable to the shareholders and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year including share options, convertible preference shares and debentures. Potential equity shares that are converted during the year are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, from the beginning of the year or date of issuance of such potential equity shares, to the date of conversion.
4.18 Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.
The Company has presented non-current assets and current assets before equity, non-current liabilities and current liabilities in accordance with Schedule III, Division II of Companies Act, 2013 notified by MCA.

40. Financial risk management
40.1 Financial risk factors
The Company's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, leases, trade and other payables and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company's operations. The Company has loans, trade and other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations. The Company also enters into derivative transactions. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks detailed below:
i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.
iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.
The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury team identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company's operating units. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
Market Risk
The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant Statement of Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations.
(a) Foreign exchange risk and sensitivity
The Company transacts business primarily in USD, Euro, OMR, SAR and other currencies. The Company has obtained foreign currency loans and has foreign currency trade payables and receivables and other receivables and paybles and is therefore, exposed to foreign exchange risk. Certain transactions of the Company act as a natural hedge as a portion of both assets and liabilities are denominated in similar foreign currencies. For the remaining exposure to foreign exchange risk, the Company adopts a policy of selective hedging based on risk assessment of the management. Foreign exchange hedging contracts are carried at fair value.
(c) Commodity price risk and sensitivity
The Company is exposed to the movement in price of key raw materials in domestic and international markets. The Company has in place policies to manage exposure to fluctuations in the prices of the key raw materials used in operations. For procurement of material, majority of transactions have short-term fixed price contract. Further, to minimise the risk of import, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, when considered appropriate.
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, contractual cash flows of debt investments carried at amortised cost, deposited with banks, credit exposures from customers including outstanding receivables and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables and contract assets are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has obtained advances and security deposits from some of its customers and distributors, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.
Provision for expected credit losses (ECL)
The Company extends credit to customers as per the internal credit policy. Any deviation are approved by appropriate personnel, after due consideration of the customers credentials and financial capacity, trade practices and prevailing business and economic conditions. The Company's historical experience of collecting receivables and the level of default indicate that credit risk is low and generally uniform across markets; consequently, trade receivables and contract assets are considered to be a single class of financial assets. All overdue customer balances are evaluated taking into account the age of the dues, specific credit circumstances, the track record of the customers etc. Loss allowances and impairment is recognised as per the Company policy.
The Company assigns the following internal credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of the financial assets. The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
Others
All of the Company's debt investments (preference shares, Government securities, loan to related parties and others and security deposits) at amortised cost are considered to have low credit risk, when they have a low risk of default and the issuer/ holder has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. For cash and cash equivalents and deposit held with banks, the Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings. The Company does not maintain significant cash and deposit balances other than those required for its day to day operations.
(e) Liquidity risk
The Company's objective is to maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements at all times. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its needs for funds. The current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the Balance Sheet to the contractual maturity date.
The Company is required to maintain ratios as per loan agreements. In the event of failure to meet any of these ratios these loans become callable at the option of lenders, except where exemption is provided by lender. The Company 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 of the financial covenants of any interest bearing loans and borrowing for reported periods.
40.2 Competition risk
The Company faces competition from local and foreign competitors. Nevertheless, it believes that it has competitive advantage in terms of high quality products and by continuously upgrading its expertise and range of products to meet the needs of its customers.
40.3 Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximize the shareholders value. The Company's primary objective when managing capital is to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and healthy capital ratios and safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to support its business and provide maximum returns for shareholders. The Company also proposes to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by sum of capital and net debt.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes equity share capital and other equity as per the Balance Sheet. Net debt includes interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
During FY 2024-25, the Company's strategy was to maintain a gearing ratio within 25% to 35%. The gearing ratios at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 are as follows:
Fair valuation techniques
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant available data. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities represents the amount 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 following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of cash, bank and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
2) Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans/ borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowings, fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the Company's borrowings rate. Risk of non-performance for the company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.
3) The fair values of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters basis contractual terms, period to maturity and market parameters such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.
Fair Value hierarchy
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company's asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:
Level 1: It includes fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets and are based on quoted market prices at the Balance Sheet date like mutual funds. The mutual funds are valued using the closing net assets value (NAV) as at the Balance Sheet date.
Level 2: It includes fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market like over-the-counter derivatives, which is valued by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the Company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value if instrument are observable then instrument is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs). If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The Company has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the Government.

However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to avail the full amount of accrued leave or require payment for such leave within the next 12 months.
The Company has taken policy from an insurance company for managing gratuity fund. The major categories of plan assets for the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 has not been provided by the insurance company.

The Company has taken group gratuity policies from an insurance company. Contribution towards policies are done annually basis demand from insurance company. Due to the restrictions in the type of investment that can be held by the gratuity fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow on assets-liability matching strategy to manage risk actively.
The insurance policy is non-participating variable insurance plan and will not participate in the profits of the insurance company. These policies provide for minimum floor rate (MFR), i.e. a guaranteed interest rate that the policy account will earn during the entire policy term. In addition to MFR, the insurance company shall also declare a non-zero positive additional interest rate (AIR) at the beginning of every financial quarter on the policy account and AIR shall remain guaranteed for that financial quarter. In addition to this, the policy also earns residual addition.
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Asset volatility
This may arise from volatility in asset values due to market fluctuations. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities.
Changes in Government bond yields
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to Government bond yields. A decrease in Government bond yields will increase plan liabilities and vice-versa, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans' holdings in such bonds.
Salary Cost Inflation Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated with reference to the future salaries of participants under the plan. Increase in salary due to adverse inflationary pressures might lead to higher liabilities.

(iii) Debt service coverage ratio (times) : EBDIT / (Finance costs Principal repayment of long-term debt during the period)
(iv) ROE (%) = Net Income/Shareholder's equity
(v) Inventory turnover ratio (times): Cost of goods sold (RM, SFG, FG and scrap) / (Average of opening and closing inventory of RM, SFG, FG and Scrap)
(vi) Trade receivables turnover ratio (times) : Sale of goods and services Average Accounts Receivables
(vii) Trade payables turnover ratio (times) : (Cost of material consumed Purchases stock in trade changes in inventory)^Average Accounts Payables
(viii) Net capital turnover ratio (times) : Total income / Shareholder's Equity
(ix) Net rofit ratio (%) : Net Profit/Total income*100
(x) Return on capital employed (%) : EBIT/ Total Assets - Current Liablities \

Assets are tested for impairment annually or whenever there are any indicators for impairment. Impairment test is performed at the level of each Cash Generating Unit ('CGU') or group of CGUs within the Company at which assets are monitored for internal management purpose. The impairment assessment is based on higher of value in use and fair value less cost of disposal.
Impairment assessment of Goodwill
Goodwill was recognised on amalgamation of erstwhile associate namely Jindal Fittings Limited with the Company pursuant to Composite scheme of Amalgamation approved by NCLT. The said goodwill was initially measured, being the excess of cost of investment and consideration to other shareholder in Jindal Fittings Limited over its net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company has performed annual impairment test for carrying value of the goodwill.
The recoverable amount has been considered based on the fair value less cost of disposal or value in use, whichever is higher as required to be assessed under Ind AS 36.
The recoverable amount of the unit has been determined based on value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial projections. The pre-tax discount rate of 13.5% (March 31, 2024 13.5%) applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing and cash flow beyond the five year period are extrapolated using a 4% (March 31, 2024 4%) growth rate which is consistent with the normal business growth rate and industry forecasts. As a result of the analysis, management did not identify any impairment for the goodwill for this unit and accordingly, there is no need for impairment of goodwill.
The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the unit.
