14 Boards’ Report
Dear Stakeholders,
The Indian economy was on a weak footing even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world in February – March 2020. The
GDP was falling, the largest manufacturing sector - auto was under a serious slow down and real estate and construction was
also not growing. All this resulted into lower consumption of steel in the country thereby pushing the country’s overall steel
production down. The country produced 109.6 MT of crude steel in FY 2019-20 as against 110.92 MT of crude steel in 2018-
19, almost a no growth scenario.
In spite of the various challenges in economy, the government continues to remain focused on the development of the
infrastructure sector. Union Budget 2019 once again highlighted the investment which the government will make over the
next 5 years towards development of the infrastructure in the country and the amount is now a whopping 102 lakh crores.
If this were to happen, India would be on its way to replicating the kind of infrastructure development China saw in the last
20 years – more ports, roads, airports, bridges, railways infrastructure and rural infrastructure. This focus of the government
on the infrastructure sector will drive the demand for steel over the next 10 years. This opens up a completely new and large
market for the engineering division of the company.
It is well known that the critical infrastructure projects typically use higher specifications steel with stricter chemistry norms,
e.g. a typical infrastructure project will use Fe500D, Fe550D as against Fe500. The steel produced through induction route
using sponge iron as the raw material typically has high phosphorus and sulphur primarily on account of high phosphorous
in the incoming iron ore and high sulphur in the incoming coal. The LRF- ELdFOS® technology developed by the company for
refining of the steel (specially to bring the sulphur and phosphorus down) has the potential to play a huge role here. Almost
60% of the steel produced in the country through induction route is produced using sponge iron. The availability of the
refining technology opens up a huge opportunity for the induction based steel producers as they will now be able to supply
low sulphur low phos grades steel to the fast growing infrastructure sector using this LRF ELdFOS® technology. Additionally,
30 to 40 million tons per annum of infrastructure grade steel (specially long products) will be required in the country over
the next 10-15 years. Most of the engineering division furnace customers are recognizing this opportunity and opting for
installation of LRF as the process route.
The high - end DiFOC technology based DTi model of Induction furnace technology equipment launched by the company 3
years back has met with huge success and the new product has been very much appreciated by the various induction furnace
customers and the steel industry in general. Not only have we seen new steelmaking capacity getting added using these
furnaces but we also saw a replacement of old furnaces with this new technology based induction furnaces over the last 3
years.
The direct rolling process introduced by Electrotherm many years ago has now become the industry norm now. Most induction
based steel plants are now rolling billets directly from the caster thereby eliminating the need for billet reheating furnace and
hence save reheating fuel worth 1.2 GJ/ton. In addition, it also protects environment from 0.8GJ/ ton energy that would have
been emitted while cooling of the billets, and pollution from CO2 emission while reheating. This has not only made steel
We are seeing an increased concern for the environment protection by steel makers and more and more of our customers are
asking for higher end high efficiency pollution control equipments both within and outside the country. This should drive the
sales of our pollution control equipment over the next 3-5 years.
We remain optimistic on the steel demand and believe that the demand specially for long products will increase substantially
post some solution to the COVID-19 pandemic. As India consumes more and more steel over the next 5-10 years and moves
towards its goal of 300 MT by 2030 (as per NSP 2017), we believe that more and more long steel will be produced through
the induction route.
Considering the current balance between three ways of steelmaking in India (BF-BoF, Arc, Induction), capability of integrated
IF – LRF route to meet all BIS quality norms for construction and infrastructure grade steel, lower CAPEX and OPEX of the
induction route vis a vis that through BF-BOF and EAF routes, difficulties in getting/importing coking coal for BF, and considerably
long gestation period needed for BF-BOF and EAF based steelmaking plants, Indian steel industry can confidently rely upon
integrated IF – LRF route to meet about 35-40% of its capacity expansion from 124 MTPA in 2017 to 300 MTPA by 2031. When
India attains 300 MTPA crude steel production capacity by 2030-31, integrated IF – LRF route should be contributing around
90 – 100 MT. This will also save about INR 3,800 Crore for every million ton plant capacity added through integrated IF – LRF
route in lieu of BF-BOF route. All this augers well for robust growth of sales for the engineering division of the company.
The steel division producing TMT bars under the ET TMT brand has definitely emerged as the number #1 and the most
preferred TMT brand in Gujarat. With the addition of new rolling capacity last year, the company is now expanding its sales
in Rajasthan and Maharashtra. In fact, Maharashtra has emerged a large market for the value added epoxy coated TMT bars
that the company produces. The company is also doubling its epoxy coated bar capacity in view of increased demand in the
infrastructure sector for this product.
The company received many new approvals from various national and state level institutions last year including approvals
from RDSO, RSRDC, PWD, MMRDA. This is allowing the company to migrate from being a real estate focused steel producer to
real estate plus infrastructure projects focused steel producer. A large portion of the sales is now coming from road projects
(NHAI), RDSO etc. and such orders are only expected to increase as the economy kick starts post the COVID-19 pandemic
control.
The pipe division continues to do well and contributes significantly to the profitability of the company. The company has
started to focus on increasing its pipe exports and expect this to go up to 20% of the total pipe sales in the next few years.
While the operations of the company have got and may further get impacted due to the COVID-19 crisis in the short term, we
remain extremely optimistic and constructive on the overall growth prospects of the company for all the three major verticals
– steel, pipe and engineering, in the medium to long term.
The company over the last 5 years has settled with majority of its financial lenders and is working seriously towards resolving
the only remaining bank and an ARC.
On behalf of the board, I thank all the shareholders of the Company for their support during the year. I would also like to
thank the lenders, suppliers, customers, Various National and Provincial Governments with whom we have been working, the
Employees and the Associates who have stood by the company and I look forward to their continued support in the future.

The Company is committed and has endeavored to provide total solutions to its customers supplemented by supply of products that
are most energy efficient, sturdy and have high uptime across all the segments that it caters to, viz. iron & steel making, foundry and
heat-treatment industry. New technology and product developments that are based on customers’ needs continued during the year
which benefitted customers by improving their process efficiency while helped Company increase its market share by new customers’
acquisition.
The Company has been intensely focused on enabling its customers produce high quality construction grade steel with the help of
appropriate refining technology. Quality of steel produced through such integrated Induction Furnace – ERF® with ELdFOS® technology
route has opened door for even infrastructure projects which were earlier limited to small housing projects. A good number of
customers improved their own positioning by adopting to this integrated route by installing ERF® (LRF).
In order to improve efficiency of its customers’ plant, the Company has established heavy-duty scrap poker this year, which also
eliminates manual intervention while melting. This highly engineered equipment has great future as not only new plants will install
it, even the existing ones will use it to enhance their process efficiency and reduce their dependency on labour. An effective and
efficient custom-designed air pollution control system from your Company has also been highly appreciated by both existing and
new steelmaking plants as it has helped them keep environment clean and pollution free. Further, introduction of high speed casters
several year back enabling direct rolling of billets from caster (without pre-heating) has huge impact on operating cost reduction
by steel mills, and the Company further strengthened this process by establishing inline billet heater which compensates only the
lost temperature instead of complete cooling and re-heating. It saves money for Company’s customers, protects environment and
strengthens Company’s positioning in the market.
In today’s world, digitalization and automation of equipment offered are essential. E&T Division has been leading innovation in this
field for quite some time now, and had elevated its major equipment on digital platform a couple of years back. However, this year
the Company has made some of its process equipment compliant to Industrie 4.0 norms by placing them with Artificial Intelligence,
making them available on Internet of Things (IoT), generating Big Data and minimizing need for human intervention by Robotic Process
Automation (RPA). This has brought a paradigm shift in steelmaking through induction furnace – ladle furnace – caster route which
will take the Company and its customers a long way. Digitalization and automation of individual equipment and processes through
induction furnace – ladle furnace – caster route, supplemented by scrap processing equipment, hydraulic grab, scrap charger, scrap
poker, lining vibrator, air pollution control system and other such special aids have made this route highly feasible for steelmaking up
to 1 million ton capacity even as single unit. Such plants have lower capex and opex, at par quality of products and are environment
friendly. They will certainly help to meet surge in steel demand that is expected by Government of India’s budgeted spending of about
INR 102 Lacs Crore on infrastructure development over next five years.
In foundry segment, as many plants are installing automatic moulding line for mass production, your Company’s IGBT technology
based multi-track induction furnaces will greatly help such plant in optimizing their production and efficiency while Company’s market
share will improve in high-end foundries. Similarly, this year the Company’s heating & hardening vertical designed, developed and
successfully commissioned a galvanizing line for a strip / sheet making plant. This is a great import substitute and will help Company
consolidate its position in the segment.
E&T Division has been continuously growing its export, extending its footprint in new countries while consolidating its position in
terrain where it has been doing business consistently. This year too, the Company has acquired customers in four new countries
making its presence in 62 countries. 34.9% of Company’s sales has been achieved from export this year and the pipeline is robust.
The Company’s export is expected to swell further in coming years through its turnkey projects for iron making, steelmaking, captive
power plant and integrated plants.
Customer-centric new product development, both through in-house innovation and strategic collaborations and acquisitions, and
continuous product improvement philosophy will help the Company to maintain its leadership position further improving its market
share, sales revenue and profitability in times to come.
While the country’s production of crude steel almost remained constant at 109.6 MT in the year 2019-2020 in comparison to 110.92
MT in the year 2018-2019, the Company registered an increase of its TMT bars production from 3.48 lakh tons to 3.68 lakhs tons
(including production of 100% subsidiary Hans Ispat Ltd.). The Company’s pipe production was at 1.50 lakh tons in the year 2019-2020
as against 1.74 lakh tons in the previous year 2018-2019.
Electrotherm’s Steel Division was established in the year 2005 in Kutch, Gujarat. The Division produces TMT bars & ductile iron pipes
and has a total manufacturing capacity of approximately 0.7 million tons per annum. The state-of-the-art steel plant at Kutch comprises
of Blast furnaces, Sponge Iron Kilns, Induction Furnaces, Rolling Mills, Ladle Refining Furnace, and Pipe Making Facilities. ET TMT, in a
short span of time, has emerged as the most preferred TMT bar brand in Gujarat.
ET TMT bars use a combination of Iron ore and Ladle Refining Furnace technology to produce the highest-quality steel that is refined
to the fullest and meets the stringent Sulphur and Phosphorous BIS norms of 500 D grade. While the use of iron ore ensures tramp
free steel, refining ensures low Sulphur and Phosphorous levels. This is why ET TMT bars are now being preferred for use in critical
infrastructures and construction projects.
The construction/real estate industry in the country is seeing a serious shift in the quality of TMT bars it uses. Over the years, grade
Fe415 has almost disappeared and has been replaced by Fe 500. We are seeing a further shift from Fe 500 to Fe 500D in the last 3
years.
5 years back, the Company changed its marketing strategy and decided to move from focus on retail and real-estate to real-estate +
projects + high end infrastructure projects. The Company not only has made serious changes in the production process and the way
steel is produced at its plant but also has changed its complete marketing strategy.
Over the last 3 years, the Company has received many approvals and certification from larger national level projects/Infrastructure
development authorities including Research Design & Standard Organization (Indian Railways), Military Engineer services (India Army),
Nuclear Power Corporation of India, Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporate of India Limited, Power Grid Corporate of India Limited
and National Highway Authority of India. Today, the Company’s product stands approved in more than 75 national and state level
organizations for supplies in projects. The Company’s Fe500 D production has increased from a mere 21% of total production in FY
2017-2018 to 43 % in 2019-2020 which clearly indicates the change in profile of it’s customers and the applications of the products
it is selling now. More and more steel TMT bars are now being produced through the LRF route to meet the stringent sulphur and
phosphorus BIS norms needed for the infrastructure sector.
Innovation has always been the driving force behind all of company’s endeavours. The Company has been delivering world-class
innovative solutions to the construction industry and will continue to do so in the future. The goal is to be a part of the journey that
helps India “Build It Right”.
The Company is proud to be associated with some of the best dealers and distributors in Western India. They have helped us establish
an extensive network, enabling us to reach to our clients and deliver products on time. It is this wide distribution network that makes
various products like Cut & Bend bars, Epoxy Coated bars, Special Grade bars available to the customers conveniently.
The Company also produces BIS approved Epoxy Coated TMT Bars at a single location. This is one of its kind integrated facility in the
country. This results in faster delivery, lower transportation cost, no damage and also saves time.
The Company has received many approvals in the last year for supply of its epoxy coated bars to prestigious infrastructure projects
including Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Municipal Corporation of Greater
Mumbai, City and Industrial Development Corporation, Thane Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra State Road Development
Corporation. In view of the rising demand for the epoxy coated bars, the Company is doubling its production capacity. The epoxy
coated bars expansion project is expected to go on stream in December - 2020.
It has now been 15 years since the start of the Ductile Iron Pipe Division and the Division is consistently growing and contributing to
the overall growth of the group. The Division at individual level crossed INR 1,000 Cr mark in FY 2018-2019.
In FY 2019-2020, some maintenance jobs for plant improvement had been undertaken due to which the production was relatively less
on Y-o-Y basis. Also the lockdown due to pandemic adversely affected the performance of the Pipe Division.
Also to improve the profitability, the Division started their exports in year 2017 and now the export is contributing approx. 10 % of the
total turnover of the Division helping in diversifying the markets geographically with improved realization.
The profitability of Division is likely to increase in the FY 2020-2021 as the Prices of Iron Ore, Coal are likely to remain stable. Also,
the Company is taking initiatives and planning to add new value added Products in its products portfolio in line with International
Standards which will help the company to reach the unexplored markets, both Domestic and International.
Overall outlook for the DI Pipe Division is expected to be positive in FY 2020-2021 looking at the huge demand emerging out of markets
of Uttar Pradesh & Andhra Pradesh which will result into increased demand for the DI Pipes, mitigating the Capacity of all the DI Pipe
Manufacturers which may keep the competition low, resulting into good profitability.
The two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments will continue to offer a huge opportunity in India given that India is the world’s largest
two-wheeler market as well as one of the biggest for three-wheelers, used widely for commute and cargo transportation. Vehicle
segments like scooters, three wheelers, small commercial vehicles and public transportation are seeing faster EV penetration.
Our focus shall continue to remain on products in two and three-wheeler segment as well as initiating manufacturing of electric drive
train in India which is in line with government’s indicated direction on mobility electrification.

Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report but does not include the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and
our Auditors’ Report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Board’s Report including Annexure to Board’s Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
The statement has been prepared on the basis of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements. The Company, Management and Board of
Directors are responsible for matter stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone
Financial Statement that gives a true and fair view of the Net Profit for the year ended on March 31, 2020 and other comprehensive income
of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the
Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation
and presentation of the statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the statement, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of Standalone Ind-AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Ind-AS Financial Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of adoption of the accounts of the
Company by Board of Directors in their meeting on 30th June 2020. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the
Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
(C) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditors’ Report in accordance with Rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and

Annexure B referred to paragraph B of Report on Other Legal Regulatory Requirements of Independent Auditor’s report of even date for
year ended March 31, 2020.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub - section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Electrotherm (India) Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31,
2020 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone IND AS Financial Statements of the company for the year ended on that date.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these
Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial
reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial
controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to
these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal
financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial
reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of un-authorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial
Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial
Statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with
reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
over financial reporting with reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, except otherwise stated or reported to the management, an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively
as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION:
Electrotherm (India) Limited (the “Company”) is a public Company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956. Its shares are listed on two stock exchanges in India. The registered office of the Company is located at A-1,
Skylark Apartment, Satellite Road, Satellite, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of Induction Furnace,
Casting Machines, Transformers, Sponge and Pig Iron, Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Billets/ bars/ Ingots, Ductile Iron Pipes, Transmission
Line Towers, Battery Operated Vehicles and Services relating to Steel Melting and other Capital Equipments.
The financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution passed in Board Meeting held on June 30, 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which have
been measured at fair value. Refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments.
Certain comparative figures appearing in these financial statements have been regrouped and/or reclassified to better reflect the
nature of those items.
All financial information presented in Indian Rupee has been rounded off to the nearest Crore. Amounts less than 0.01 Crore have
been presented as “0”.
The operating cycle is the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
b FOREIGN CURRENCIES:
The Company’s financial statements are presented in Rupees in Crore, which is also the company’s functional currency.
Exchange differences arising on settlement of such transactions and on translation of monetary items are recognised in the
Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates
on the dates of the initial transactions.
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 by the Company.
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 and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest
and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 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 and liabilities that are recognised in the 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.
The Company’s Management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as
unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring fair value measurement.
External valuers are involved for valuation of unquoted financial assets, such as properties and significant liabilities, such as
contingent consideration. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the Management. Selection criteria
include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The Management
decides, after discussions with the Company’s external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be
remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs
applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management, in conjunction with the Company’s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset
and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
- Disclosures for valuation methods, significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (Refer note 41 and 42)
- Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (Refer note 41.2)
- Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) (Refer note 42)
The company has concluded that it is the principal in all its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or
services before transferring them to the customer.
However Goods & Service Tax is not received by company on its own account, rather it is tax collected on value added to the
commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly it is excluded from revenue.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognized.
Sale of Goods:
Revenue is recognized when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring
control over the promised goods to the customer. Control over a promised good refers to the ability to direct the use of,
and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, those goods. Control is usually transferred upon shipment,
delivery to, upon receipt of goods by the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with
the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognised (transaction price) is based on the consideration expected to be
received in exchange for goods, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as Goods and Service Tax or
other taxes directly linked to sales. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is
allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. Revenue from product sales
are recorded net of allowances for estimated rebates, cash discounts and estimates of product returns, all of which are
established at the time of sale.
Variable Consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will
be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception
and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will
not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The Company accounts for pro forma credits, refunds of duty of customs or excise, or refunds of sales tax in the year of admission
of such claims by the concerned authorities. Benefits in respect of Export Licenses are recognised on application. Export benefits
are accounted for as other operating income in the year of export based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty on
receiving the same
Dividends:
Dividend is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders
approve the dividend.
Trade receivables:
A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is
required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration
(or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods
or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is
earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Refund liabilities:
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the customer and
is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer. The Company updates its
estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of PPE is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the
existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing PPE, including day-to-day
repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of parts replaced, are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss for
the period during which such expenses are incurred.
CWIP comprises of cost of PPE that are yet not installed and not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if applicable.
The Company calculates depreciation on items of property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived
at based on the useful lives defined under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except in respect of following fixed assets:
- Long Term Lease hold land is amortised over a period of 99 years, being the lease term.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is
derecognised.
f. INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Intangible Assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Intangible assets in the form of software are amortised over a period of six years and trademarks over a period of five years as
per their respective useful life based on a straight-line method. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful
life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the
amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense
on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Standalone Statement of profit or loss when the asset
is derecognised.
h. BORROWING COSTS:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection
with the borrowing of funds.
i. LEASES:
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified
in an arrangement.
Company as a lessee:
(i) Right of use assets
The company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e the date the underlying asset is
available for use), Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the
estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of
a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also
subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in relating to Impairment of non-financial assets.
j. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.
Financial assets
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
- Debt instruments - measured at amortised cost
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments - measured at fair value through Standalone Statement of Profit or
Loss (FVTPL)
- Equity instruments - measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income
in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade, loans and other receivables.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make
an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes
such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognised (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 recognise
the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises 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.
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade
receivables and bank balance.
b) Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured at FVTPL.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and advance to
suppliers. Under the simplified approach the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has
been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is
used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all
the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted at the original EIR. ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)
recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected
under the head ‘other expenses’ in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared
credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk
to be identified on a timely basis.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including cash credit facilities from
banks.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated
upon initial recognition 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. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the
Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss are designated
as such at the initial date of recognition and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL,
fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/loss are not subsequently
transferred to Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes
in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company has not designated any
financial liability at FVTPL.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account 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 Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no
reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are
debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes
to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business
model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to
external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that
is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the
reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The
Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
k. INVENTORIES:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, wherever
considered necessary. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down
below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Scrap is valued at
net realisable value. Cost is determined on a Weighted Average method.
Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity,
incurred in bringing them in their respective present location and condition.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
For the defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial
valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect
of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet
with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are
not reclassified to Statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the
following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs; and
• Net interest expense or income
The liability in respect of unused leave entitlement of the employees as at the reporting date is determined on the basis of an
independent actuarial valuation carried out and the liability is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gain and
loss is recognised in full in the period in which they occur in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
m. TAXES:
Tax Expenses comprises of current income tax and deferred tax
Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
• When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is
not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable Profit or
Loss.
• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal
of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any
unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised, except:
• When the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not
a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
• In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that
future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Statement of Profit
and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
n. 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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed,
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating
to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares, if any.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
p. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT:
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of charges in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined
above.
q. CASH DIVIDEND:
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution
is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the Companies Act, 2013, a distribution is
authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
r. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized
because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in
the financial statements.
(a) Taxes
Pursuant to the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019 issued by Ministry of Law and Justice (Legislative Department)
dated September 20,2019 effective from April 01,2019 the company has opted to avail lower Tax rates of 22% (without any tax
benefits) instead of existing tax rate of 30%.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in
India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the
post-employment benefit obligation
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval
in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates
for India.
The Company applies, for the first time, Ind AS 116 Leases using the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of the
standard did not have any material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in April 1, 2019, but do not have an impact on the financial
statements of the Company.
Lessor accounting under Ind AS 116 is substantially unchanged from Ind AS 17. Lessor will continue to classify leases as either
operating or finance leases using similar principles as in Ind AS 17. Therefore, Ind AS 116 did not have an impact for leases where
the Company is the lessor.
Pursuant to adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases which
were previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases amount and leases of low-value assets amounting
to 2 lakhs. The Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental
borrowing rate at the date of initial application and right of use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any
prepayments/accruals recognised in the balance sheet as on March 31, 2019. There is no impact on retained earnings as on April
1, 2019.
The Company also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:
• Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
• Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application.
• Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months at the date of initial
application.
• Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of -use asset at the date of initial application.
Amount recognised in the Balance Sheet and statement of Profit and Loss refer note 31(b). Impact on the Statement of Cash

calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied
in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
32.2 Risks associated with defined benefit plan:
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and company is exposed to the Following Risks:
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. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of
assets.
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.
Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by
reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it
will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and
other debt instruments.
Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101
of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
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.
Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default will
wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to follow regulatory guidelines.

Level 1:Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation
techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If
all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

securities, other financial assets, short term borrowings, non current borrowings and other current financial liabilities

The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks (interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk) during the
course of ordinary activities. The aim of risk management is to limit the risks arising from operating activities and associated financing
requirements.
The provision on trade receivables for expected credit loss is recognized on the basis of life-time expected credit losses (simplified
approach). Trade receivables are evaluated separately for balances towards progress billings and retention money due from customers.
An expected loss rate is calculated at each year-end, based on combination of rate of default and rate of delay. The Company considers
the rate of default and delay upon initial recognition of asset, based on the past experience and forward-looking information, wherever
available. The provision on loans for expected credit loss is recognized on the basis of 12-month expected credit losses and assessed
for significant increase in the credit risk.

on economic environment in general and financial risk because of Covid-19. The company is in the business of manufacturing steel,
pipe and steel melting equipment, Transformers, etc. The demand for the Company products is expected to be lower in the short term,
though the same is not likely to have a continuing impact on the business of the Company. Further, the Management believes that
there may not be significant impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the financial position and performance of the company, in the long-term.
47 Previous year amount has been regrouped/re-casted/re-arranged/ re-classified/re-determined, wherever necessary, to make the
figure of the current year comparable with the previous year.

Information Other than the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon (“Other Information”)
The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Holding Company’s Annual Report but does not include the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements and
our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated
Ind AS Financial Statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the Consolidated state of affairs,
Consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of changes in equity and Consolidated cash flows of the
Group including its joint venture in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
In preparing the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, the respective management and Board of Directors of the companies included
in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its joint venture to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its Joint venture are responsible for overseeing the financial
reporting process of each entity.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Ind AS Financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Ind AS Financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company
has adequate internal Financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the
Group and its joint venture to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of adoption of the
accounts of the company by the Board of the Directors in their meeting dated 30th June, 2020. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Group and its joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group
and its joint venture of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion
on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of
the financial statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of which we are the independent
auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors,
such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Consolidated Ind AS
Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
A Group and its joint venture’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial
Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION:
The consolidated financial statements comprise financial statements of Electrotherm (India) Limited (the “Company”) and its
subsidiary and Joint Venture (collectively the “Group”) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The Principal business of the Group is the
manufacturing of Induction Furnace, Casting Machines, Transformers, Sponge and Pig Iron, Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Billets/ bars/
Ingots, Ductile Iron Pipes, Transmission Line Towers, Battery Operated Vehicles and Services relating to Steel Melting and other Capital
Equipments.
The consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution passed in the board meeting held on
June 30, 2020.
a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind
AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation
requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the
consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and
liabilities which have been measured at fair value (Refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments)
Certain comparative figures appearing in these financial statements have been regrouped and/or reclassified to better reflect the
nature of those items.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee and all the values are rounded to the nearest Crore, except
otherwise indicated and provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. Further Amounts which are less than
0.01 Crore have been presented as “0”.
i) Subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date of incorporation, being the date on which the Company obtains control and
continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases (including through voting rights). Subsidiary has been
consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of the like items of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses after eliminating all significant intra-group balances and intra-group transactions. The unrealized profits resulting
from intra-group transactions that are included in the carrying amount of assets are eliminated in full.
ii) The financial statements of the subsidiary in India are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using
consistent accounting policies. As far as possible, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform
accounting policies, consistent with the Company’s standalone financial statements for like transactions and other events in
similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s standalone financial
statements. Any deviation in accounting policies is disclosed separately.
iii) The financial statements of the subsidiary outside India are prepared in accordance with the principles general accepted
in their respective countries. On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Rupees
at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates
prevailing at the date of transactions. For practical reasons, the Group uses a monthly average rate to translate income and
expense items, if the average rate approximates the exchange rates at the dates of transactions.
iv) The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events
in similar circumstances and are presented in the same manner as the Company’s separate financial statements.

The operating cycle is the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The
Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
C. FOREIGN CURRENCIES:
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Rupees in Crore, which is also the Group’s functional currency.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Group’s functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the date
the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated in the functional currency at the exchange rates
prevailing on the reporting date of financial statements.
Exchange differences arising on settlement of such transactions and on translation of monetary items are recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates on the
dates of the initial transactions.
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:
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 and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure
fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 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 and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group 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.
The Group’s Management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative
financial instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring fair value measurement.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties and Unquoted Financial Asset and significant
Liabilities such as contingent consideration. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the Management after
discussion with and approval by the Group’s Audit Committee. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence
and whether professional standards are maintained. The Management decides, after discussions with the Group’s external valuers,
which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
The Management, in conjunction with the Group’s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and
liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
- Disclosures for valuation methods, significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions.
- Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy.
- Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost).
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (PPE):
Property Plant and Equipment and Capital work in progress are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price and borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met, the cost of replacing
part of the fixed assets and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Each part of an
item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.
This applies mainly to components for machinery. When significant parts of fixed assets are required to be replaced at intervals, the
Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major
overhauling is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the PPE as a replacement if the recognition criteria are
satisfied. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future
benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing Property, Plant
and Equipment, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of parts replaced, are charged to the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset is measured at fair value unless (a) the
exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received, nor the asset given up is reliably
measurable.
CWIP comprises of cost of Property, Plant and Equipment that are yet not installed and not ready for their intended use at the Balance
Sheet date.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end
and adjusted prospectively, if applicable.
The Group (except Shree Ram Electro Cast Limited) calculates depreciation on items of property, plant and equipment on a straight-
line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives defined under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except in respect
of following fixed assets:
(a) Long Term Lease hold land is amortised over a period of 99 years, being the lease term.
(b) Shree Ram Electro Cast Limited calculate depreciation on items of property, plant and equipment on the written down basis,
using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives defined under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013,
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its
use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
E. INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Intangible Assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Intangible assets in the form of software are amortised on straight line basis over a period of six years and trademarks are amortised
on straight line method over a period of five years. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with
a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern
of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
G. BORROWING COSTS:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with
the borrowing of funds.
H. LEASES:
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception
of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or
assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Group as a lessee:
Right of use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e the date the underlying asset is available for
use), Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs
incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase
option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
Refer to the accounting policies in relating to Impairment of non-financial assets.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments
to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising the option to terminate.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce
inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date
because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities
is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease
I. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
- Debt instruments - measured at amortised cost
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments - measured at fair value through Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss
(FVTPL)
- Equity instruments - measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Group. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss. This category generally applies to trade, loans and other receivables.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. For all other equity instruments, the Group may make an
irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Group makes such election
on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised
(i.e. removed from the Group’s Balance Sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Group 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 Group has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group 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 Group continues to recognise the
transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group 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 Group could be required to repay.
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade
receivables and bank balance.
b) Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured at FVTPL.
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and advance to suppliers.
Under the simplified approach the Group does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based
on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether there has been
a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to
provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted at the original EIR. ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during
the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head ‘other
expenses’ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Group combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk
characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified
on a timely basis.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including cash credit facilities from banks.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated
upon initial recognition 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. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group
that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss are designated
as such at the initial date of recognition and only if the criteria in 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/ loss are not subsequently transferred to
Profit and Loss. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such
liability are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group has not designated any financial liability at FVTPL.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
internal changes which are significant to the Group’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business
model occurs when the Group either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Group reclassifies
financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next
reporting period following the change in business model. The Group does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including
impairment gains or losses) or interest.
J. INVENTORIES:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, wherever
considered necessary. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below
cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Scrap is valued at net realisable
value. Cost is determined on a Weighted Average method.
Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity, incurred
in bringing them in their respective present location and condition.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost of completion and the estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
However, Goods and Service tax (GST) is not received by the group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to
the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue. The specific recognition criteria
described below must also be met before revenue is recognised
Sale of Goods:
Revenue is recognized when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over
the promised goods to the customer. Control over a promised good refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all
of the remaining benefits from, those goods. Control is usually transferred upon shipment, delivery to, upon receipt of goods by the
customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognised
(transaction price) is based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods, excluding amounts collected on behalf
of third parties such as sales tax or other taxes directly linked to sales. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation,
the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. Revenue from
product sales are recorded net of allowances for estimated rebates, cash discounts and estimates of product returns, all of which are
established at the time of sale.
Variable Considerations
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be
entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and
constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur
when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The Group accounts for pro forma credits, refunds of duty of customs or excise, or refunds of sales tax in the year of admission of
such claims by the concerned authorities. Benefits in respect of Export Licenses are recognised on application. Export benefits are
accounted for as other operating income in the year of export based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty on receiving the
same.
Contract balance
Contract assets:
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the group performs by
transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is
recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivables:
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required
before payment of the consideration is due.
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the group has received consideration (or
an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the group transfers goods or services
to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract
liabilities are recognised as revenue when the group performs under the contract.
Refund liabilities:
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the customer and is measured
at the amount the group ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer. The group updates its estimates of refund liabilities
(and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period.
For the defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial
valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the
asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified
to Statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group recognises the following
changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs; and
• Net interest expense or income
The liability in respect of unused leave entitlement of the employees as at the reporting date is determined on the basis of an
independent actuarial valuation carried out and the liability is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial
gain and loss is recognised in full in the period in which they occur in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
M. TAXES:
Tax expense comprises of current income tax and deferred tax
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in
the countries where the group operates and generate taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in
correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the
tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where
appropriate.
Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
• When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable Profit or Loss.
• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any
unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised,
except:
• When the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
• In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised
only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax
assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Statement of Profit
and Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred Tax Assets and deferred Tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
liabilities and deferred tax relates to the same taxable entity and same taxation authority.
N. PROVISIONS:
Provisions are recognised when the Group 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. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised
as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the
Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.
Q. CASH DIVIDEND
The Group recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the Group when the distribution is
authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Group. As per the Companies Act, 2013, a distribution is authorised
when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
R. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
S. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the group or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in
extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The group does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Taxes
Pursuant to the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance 2019 issued by Ministry of Law and Justice (Legislative Department) dated
September 20,2019 effective from April 01,2019, generally, the group has opted to avail lower Tax rates of 22% (without any tax
benefits) instead of existing tax rate of 30%.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the
management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment
benefit obligation
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in
response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for India.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
2.3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
New and amended standards
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation
of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards effective as
of April 1, 2019. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not
yet effective.
The Group applies, for the first time, Ind AS 116 Leases using the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of the
standard did not have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in April 1, 2019, but do not have an impact on the financial
statements of the Group.
Lessor accounting under Ind AS 116 is substantially unchanged from Ind AS 17. Lessor will continue to classify leases as either
operating or finance leases using similar principles as in Ind AS 17. Therefore, Ind AS 116 did not have an impact for leases where
the Group is the lessor.
Pursuant to adoption of Ind AS 116, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases which were
previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases amount and leases of low-value assets amounting to 2
lakhs. The Group recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing
rate at the date of initial application and right of use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepayments/
accruals recognised in the balance sheet as on March 31, 2019. There is no impact on retained earnings as on April 1, 2019.
The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:
• Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
• Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application.
• Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months at the date of initial
application.
• Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of -use asset at the date of initial application.
Amount recognised in the Balance Sheet and statement of Profit and Loss refer note 30(b). Impact on the Statement of Cash
flows (Increase / (Decrease) for the year ended March 31, 2020 is as under: -

existed. Based on an assessment of external market conditions relating to input costs and final product realization, non operation of the company and evaluation
of physical working conditions for items of property, plant and equipment, indicators of impairment were identified and therefore, the Company recognized
impairment charge as on 01st April 2016 of Rs. 29.89 Crore.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
31.2 Risks associated with defined benefit plan Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and group is exposed to the Following Risks:
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. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of
assets.
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.
Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by
reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it
will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and
other debt instruments.
Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101
of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
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.
Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance group and a default will wipe
out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to follow regulatory guidelines.

46 (a) On March 24, 2020, the Government of India ordered a nationwide lockdown to prevent community spread of Covid-19 in India
resulting in significant reduction in economic activities. The Group has carried out its initial assessment of the likely adverse
impact on economic environment in general and financial risk because of Covid-19. The Group is in the business of manufacturing
induction furnace, steel, pipe and steel melting equipment, Transformers, etc. The demand for the Group products is expected to
be lower in the short term, though the same is not likely to have a continuing impact on the business of the Group. Further, the
Management believes that there may not be significant impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the financial position and performance
of the company, in the long-term.
(b) In the case of Hans Ispat Limited, due to Covid 19, the company has stalled all the plant operations from March 23, 2020.
After Indian Railways started running the Shramik trains many skilled and unskilled labours have left the units and therefore
the production activity have not yet started. The company have paid regular salary to the employee and the contractors. The
company have dispatched the Finished Goods to various customer till the date of signing the financial results. Once the company’s
employees and contractors workers resume the work, the plant production activity will be in operation and therefore in view of
the management, the going concern of the company is not affected.
48 Previous year amount has been regrouped/re-casted/re-arranged/ re-classified/re-determined, wherever necessary, to make the
figure of the current year comparable with the previous year.
