Ll4| PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND
CONTINGENT ASSETS
a Provisions are recognised when the Company has present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, for which 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 for the amount of the obligation.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed by way of notes to Financial Statements. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
b If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
U5| EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
a Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
b Post-Employment Benefits:
i) Defined Contribution Plans:
State governed Provident Fund Scheme and Employees State Insurance Scheme are defined contribution plans.
The contribution paid / payable under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the employees render the related services.
ii) Defined Benefit Plans:
The Employee's Gratuity Fund Scheme and compensated absences is Company's defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefits entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government Securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
For defined benefit plans, the amount recognised as 'Employee benefit expenses' in the Statement of Profit and Loss is the cost of accruing employee benefits promised to employees over the year and the costs of individual events such as past/future service benefit changes and settlements (such events are recognised immediately in rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset is charged or credited to 'Finance costs' in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Any differences between the interest income on plan assets and the return actually achieved and any changes in the liabilities over the year due to changes in actuarial assumptions or experience adjustments within
the plans, are recognised immediately in 'Other comprehensive income' and subsequently not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All defined benefit plans obligations are determined based on valuations, as at the Balance Sheet date, made by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The classification of the Company's net obligation into current and non¬ current is as per the actuarial valuation report.
I n case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefits plans are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
c Long Term Employee Benefits:
The employees' long term compensated absences are Company's defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation is determined based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method as at the date of the balance sheet. In case of funded plans, the full value of plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation to recognise the obligation on the net basis.
116 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial Assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement:
The Company recognises a financial asset in its balance sheet when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction cost that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Where the fair value of a financial asset at initial recognition is different from its transaction price, the difference between the fair value and the transaction price is recognised as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss at initial recognition if the fair value is determined through a quoted market price in an active market for an identical asset (i.e. level 1 input) or through a valuation technique that users data from observable markets.
I n case the fair value in not determined using a level 1 inputs as mentioned above, the difference between the fair value and transaction price is deferred appropriately and recognised as a gain in the Statement of Profit and Loss only to the extent the such gain or loss arises due to a change in factor that market participants take into account when pricing the financial asset.
However trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Investments and other financial assets
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
(1) t hose to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through the Statement of Profit and Loss), and
(2) those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through the profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instrument recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as Financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gain & losses arising from the change in Fair Value of Derivative are taken directly to Profit & Loss Account.
Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow
characteristics of the asset. The Company classifies its debt instruments into following categories:
(1) Amortized cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
(2) Fair value through other comprehensive Income:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost are measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Other Income.
Equity Instruments:
The Company measures its equity investment other than in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at fair value through profit and loss. However where the Company's management makes an irrevocable choice on initial recognition to present fair value gains and losses on specific equity investments in other comprehensive income (Currently no such choice made), there is no subsequent reclassification, on sale or otherwise, of fair value gains and losses to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Investments in subsidiary
I nvestments in subsidiaries are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements.
Impairment of Investments:
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the Investment is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the cost of the Investment. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit or Loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the
to recognise such financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The financial asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
On De-recognition of a financial asset (except as mentioned in ii above for financial assets measured a FVTOCI), the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
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 bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
• Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined
financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss.For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
For all other financial assets, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of ECL (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognised as an impairment loss in the 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 derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when any of the following occurs:
i. The contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expires;
ii. The Company transfers its contractual rights to received cash flows of the financial assets and has substantially transferred all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial assets;
iii. The Company retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows but assumes a contractual obligations to pay the cash flows without material delay to one or more recipients under a 'pass-through’ arrangement (thereby substantially transferring all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset);
iv. The Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risk and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the financial asset.
I n cases where Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but retains control of the financial assets, the Company continues
by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to P&L. 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 statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (Loans and borrowings)
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process
Amortized 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 statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to borrowings. For more information refer Note 18 & 23.
1T7 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes 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, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
1ts| statement of cash flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
i. changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;
ii. non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, and unrealised foreign currency gains and losses etc.; and
iii. all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows
U9| NON-CURRENT ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less cost to sell. Such Non-current assets which are classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised from the date when such assets are classified as held for sale.
120 KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
A. Income Taxes
The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions (Refer note 21).
B. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
C. Defined Benefit Obligation
The costs of providing pensions and other post¬ employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with IND AS 19 'Employee benefits’ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees’ services. The costs are assessed on the basis
of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 43, 'Post Retirement Benefit Plans’.
D. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involve various judgments and assumptions.
121 RECENT accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year ended on 31st March, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, effective from 1st April, 2024. The Company has assessed these amendments and determined that they do not have any significant impact on its financial statements.
On 7th May, 2025, MCA notified the amendment in Ind AS 21-The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. These amendments aim to provide guidance on assessing whether a currency is exchangeable and on estimating the spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments are effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the probable impact of these amendments on its financial statement.
_TM ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising of assets and liabilities are classified as 'held for sale’ when all the following criteria are met :
(i) decision has been made to sell,
(ii) the assets are available for immediate sale in its present condition,
(iii) the assets are being actively marketed and
(iv) sale has been agreed or is expected to be concluded within 12 months of the Balance Sheet date.
Subsequently, such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as 'held for sale’ are measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.
The Board of Directors in their meeting on 17th May, 2025 recommended a final dividend of ' 0.25 per equity share for the financial year ended 31st March, 2025. The payment is subject to the approval of shareholders in the Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Nature and Purpose of Reserves
General Reserve:
General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes. As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the General Reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to statement of profit and loss.

Company as lessee
The Company has lease contracts for its office premises and plant locations with lease term between 3 years to 90 years. The Company’s obligations under its lease are secured by lessor’s title to lease assets.
The Company has also certain leases with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemptions for these leases.

38| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Financial Instrument by category and hierarchy
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount of which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair Value of Cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amount largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair values of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
For the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair values, the carrying amount are equal to the fair value.
39| CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Equity Share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company’s capital management.
The Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to shareholders. The Capital structure of the Company is based on management’s judgment of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business.
The management and the Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders. The Company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
Valuation Methodology
i) Fair Value of Derivatives: The fair value of Forward Foreign Exchange contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
ii) Investments carried at fair value are generally based on market price quotations. Investments in equity shares included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. Cost of unquoted equity instruments has been considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range.
Fair value Hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by
valuation technique:
• Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 : Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 : Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
4o| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks and credit risks. The Company’s senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company’s risk management framework. The Company has constituted a risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.
A. Management of Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligation associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this management considers both normal and stressed conditions.
Due to dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability of under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Company’s financial liabilities based on the contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at the Balance sheet date.
(ii) Price Risk
The Company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit and loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
Sensitivity Analysis
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the BSE Index on the Company’s equity and Gain/Loss for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the index has increased by 5 % or decreased by 5 % with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s equity instruments moved in line with the index.
A change of 5% in market index of Equity Instruments would have following impact on profit before tax
The above referred sensitivity pertains to quoted equity investments. Profit for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities as at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL).
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimise the Company’s position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
According to the Company interest rate risk exposure is only for floating rate borrowings. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
C Management of Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations,
iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-party guarantees or credit enhancements.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company’s customer base being large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed on quarterly basis. Our historical experiences of collecting receivables indicate a low credit risk
4l| EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) AS PER INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD 33
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential Equity shares into Equity shares.
Risk Exposure - Asset Volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments is in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk derivatives to minimise risk to an acceptable level. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities and in alternative investments % which have low correlation with equity securities. The equity securities are expected to earn a return in excess of the discount rate and contribute to the plan deficit.
(i) Leave Obligations
The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for sick and earned leave. The amount of the provision of ' 0.57 Crores [31st March, 2024: ' 0.54 Crores ] is presented as current and ' 1.82 Crores (PY. ' 1.62 Crores) as non current.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is ' 3.31 Crores [31st March, 2024: ' 3.17 Crores ]
48 The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code') has been notified in the Official Gazette of India on 29th September, 2020 which could impact the contributions of the Company towards certain employment benefits. The effective date from which changes are applicable is yet to be notified and the rules are yet to be framed. Impact, if any, of the change will be assessed and accounted in the period of notification of the relevant provisions.
49| EVENT AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
a The Board of Directors of the Company have recommended Final dividend of ' 0.25 per fully paid up share of ' 1/- each at it's meeting held on 17th May, 2025 for the financial year 2024-25, subject to the approval of members at the Annual General meeting of the Company.
b The Company evaluates events and transactions occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the approval of the financial statement to determine the necessity for recognition and reporting of any of these events and transactions in the financial statements as of 17th May, 2025 other than those disclosed and adjusted elsewhere in these financial statements, there were no such subsequent events to be reported.
