Management Discussion & Analysis Report 3
Management Discussion & Analysis Report
Introduction
Since its inception in 1956, Aegis Logistics Limited (also referred to as ‘Aegis,’ ‘Aegis Logistics’ or ‘The Company’) has continually transformed itself to reflect the changing circumstances in the environment in which it operates. This period is no different. The world is undergoing a sustainability challenge that is manifesting itself in a variety of forms, no less than in the form of climate change. India, which has now surpassed China as the world’s most populous country, can no longer be immune to such challenges and, in fact, has made international commitments to reduce its carbon emissions to net zero by 2070. This presents a uniquely challenging opportunity.
Aegis Logistics and its subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘the Group’ or ‘Aegis Group’) is playing an active role in this metamorphosis. In this context, we commit ourselves to supporting India’s transition to a more sustainable future. We store and distribute liquids and gases across India in a safe and sustainable manner with a dedicated focus on environmental impact. In addition, we have conceptualised Project GATI (Gateway Access to India) to capitalise on emerging market opportunities and to strategically invest in storage solutions and infrastructure necessary to address the market's evolving demands. Our strategy remains
unchanged—building a network of terminals along the coastline of India and distribution facilities so that we may deliver on our mission.
FY 2024-25 Highlights
Listing of Material Subsidiary
One of the Company’s material subsidiaries, i.e, Aegis Vopak Terminals Limited (AVTL), has successfully achieved the milestone of listing on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited effective from June 02, 2025.
Terminalling
Our joint venture with Royal Vopak, Aegis Vopak Terminals Ltd. (AVTL) continues to go from strength to strength. We have no doubt that the combined reputation and quality of Aegis and Vopak together impact the thirdparty logistics industry structure in the form of industry consolidation. An example is the various acquisitions and additions over the decades, making Aegis the most prominent tank terminal service provider in several of the major ports of India. During the year, we commissioned two new liquid terminals at Mangalore with an aggregate capacity of 75,230 m[3] and one at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) with a capacity of 1,01,900 m[3] . The gas terminalling business continues to grow as a result of increasing LPG demand in the country and the addition of storage capacity at new and existing port locations.

Integrated LPG Supply Chain Well Positioned to Serve Sustainable Energy Demands
Aegis is a fully integrated participant in the Indian LPG market, comprised of four main segments: domestic cooking gas, industrial, commercial, and transportation. While LPG is not a renewable energy source, it is a much cleaner fuel than biomass, coal, or kerosene.
Its portability and convenience make it an ideal fuel to help India transition to a more sustainable energy future. In addition to demand from the domestic segment, the industrial use of LPG substituting dirty fuels has been boosted with the commissioning of the AVTL Kandla LPG terminal. The continuing rise in our distribution volumes reflected this, including those distributed in industrial-scale cylinders, such as our Magna solution. Throughput volumes of LPG have also increased substantially to 4.5 MMT (million metric tonnes) in FY 2024-25 from 3.3 MMT over the past two financial years.

FY 2024-25 Robust Profit Growth
With the rapid increase in LPG distribution volumes and liquid tankage capacity, the operational profit of the Group increased to Rs. 1,120.21 crore compared to Rs. 993.62 crore in the previous year. Furthermore, the EBITDA split between LPG and Liquids is reflected below:

Liquid Logistics Division
Liquid terminalling revenues were at Rs. 649.77 crore as compared to Rs. 549.37 crore the previous year, an increase of about 18.28%, and EBITDA of the division was higher at Rs. 498.33 crore compared to Rs. 395.80 crore in the previous year, primarily due to better capacity utilisation at Mangalore, Kandla, Mumbai, Kochi, and Haldia. Future growth in this division will come from the additional capacities at Mangalore and the newly commissioned facility at JNPA and better mix of products handled at Haldia, Kandla, Mangalore, and Kochi, besides future capacity additions at those ports. The Mumbai terminals continue to function at full capacity.
Gas Division
Aegis Group captures the complete logistics value chain from sourcing and terminalling to the distribution of LPG. In FY 2024-25, the division recorded revenues of Rs. 6,114.03 crore as compared to Rs. 6,496.56 crore the previous year, primarily due to a decrease in sourcing volumes, though the LPG logistics continued to witness an increase in the quantum of throughput handled.
The EBITDA for the Gas division increased to Rs. 667.45 crore as compared to Rs. 612.10 crore in the previous year, mainly due to higher terminalling volumes. Distribution of LPG and Propane through all channels in packed cylinders and bulk continues to be a focus area. This steady growth signals an increasing demand for LPG, and our integrated logistics services make Aegis Group uniquely positioned to both capture market share and achieve our vision of a more sustainable future.
New Developments
At Mumbai port, the Company has been allocated additional plots admeasuring an aggregate of ~[19,000 m][2 ][and it is in the process of construction ] of Liquid Tank Terminals for further expansion of Liquid storage capacity. Once complete, these tanks will cater to additional liquid storage requirements of customers and also ease the load on the existing liquid storage facilities at Mumbai, which are fully utilised.
At JNPT in Navi Mumbai, the Group has completed the construction of and commissioned a greenfield liquid terminal with a storage capacity of 1,01,900 m[3] . Additionally, the Group has been allocated an additional ~30 acres of land and is in the process of development of tank storage terminals for Liquid, Liquefied Petroleum and Ammonia Terminal.

New liquids terminal at JNPT
At Pipavav, the Company is constructing cryogenic tanks with a total LPG storage capacity of 48,000 metric tonnes, which is expected to be commissioned by July 2025. Also, the Company has started development on an independent Ammonia storage terminal with a capacity of 36,000 MT.
At Mangalore, the Group has commissioned an LPG cryogenic facility with a static storage capacity of 82,000 MT the Mangalore terminal on June 12, 2025. The Group has also commissioned a 75,230 m[3] Liquid storage terminal in March 2025, comprising 19 tanks.

6 Annual Report 2024–25
For further development at Mangalore, the Group has been allocated land at New Mangalore Port of 8,140 m[2] plot for the construction of tank farms/storage infrastructure. In addition, the Group has also been allotted an additional plot measuring 60,703 m[2] for setting up storage infrastructure and facilities.
At Kandla, the Group has been allotted a plot admeasuring 27,458 m[2 ] for constructing storage tanks, which would further strengthen the Company’s presence at the location once operational.
Summary
With its strong market position due to capacity expansion, an improved product mix, and higher storage volumes in the Gas and Liquid Divisions, the Group is well-positioned for continued growth in FY 2025-26.
The significant changes in the financial ratios of the Company, which are more than 25% as compared to the previous year on a consolidated basis, are summarised as follows:
| Ratio | Consolidated Change (%) Reason for change FY 2024-25 FY 2023-24 |
|---|---|
| Return on Net Worth (%) Debt to Equity Ratio Net debt to Equity Ratio |
15.56% 15.33% 2% The Return on Net Worth ratio increased by 8%, primarily due to higher profits for the year driven by the new liquid terminal capacities as well as an increase in LPG volumes handled compared to the previous year. This improvement was partially offset by a 6% reduction in the ratio, attributable to an increase in net worth resulting from a rise in securities premium following the issuance of equity shares. 0.41 0.32 28% Increase in debt to equity ratios is due to increase in borrowings. However, on consolidation net debt to equity ratio is negative. (0.05) (0.07) (29%) Negative net debt to equity ratios is due to proceeds received from sale of investments in subsidiary company and issue of equity shares by subsidiary company. |
Internal Control Systems and Adequacy
The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls to ensure that all the assets are safeguarded, protected against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are authorised, recorded, and reported correctly. The Company conducts audits of various departments based on an annual audit plan through an independent internal auditor and reports significant observations along with ‘Action Taken Reports’ to the Audit Committee from time to time. The views of the statutory auditors are also considered to ascertain the adequacy of the internal control system.
The Company regularly updates its risk management policy to protect the property, earnings, and personnel of the Company against losses and legal liabilities that might be incurred due to various risks.
Occupational Health, Safety and Environment
The emphasis on OHSE continues at all of the operations of the Group throughout India. The Company is committed to the best standards in safety and continuously monitors matters related to this. In addition to monthly reviews by the management, the Company has formed a high-level committee comprising three directors and other Company executives, wherein matters concerning the subject are discussed. Safety drills are regularly carried out at all the Group’s main facilities.
Although Aegis has a low carbon footprint, efforts are underway to reduce the impact on the environment and improve environmental sustainability. Aegis continues to monitor emissions with the installation of a continuous monitoring system at two locations and investing in pollution control systems. Aegis
Management Discussion & Analysis Report 7
has engaged leading engineering institutes to design equipment and model the impact on the environment. These efforts ensure that we are making progress towards our commitment to a more sustainable future.
Human Resources Development
Aegis Group employs over 1,043 people. As the Company is growing fast, we are committed to the competence development of young managers and recruitment of middle management in specific areas to sustain the future growth envisaged in the business.
Risks and Concerns
Inordinate delays in renewing licences and permits take a significant amount of time and resources, which could be deployed more productively. Project timelines could be extended due to the lengthy and complex process of securing environmental permits.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Aegis Group contributes directly towards the eligible Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’) projects and is also a proud contributor to ANaRDe Foundation, a government-accredited NGO. Acting through this Foundation, Aegis has continued to work actively in rural development and poverty alleviation, primarily in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The Foundation has been engaged in a focused initiative for the benefit of rural communities in India, including afforestation, sanitation, water resource management, and financial inclusion.
The Group contributes to ANaRDe Foundation to fulfil its corporate social responsibility.

Outlook for the Group
The oil, gas and chemical logistics business continues to show good potential as India’s import of oil products and chemicals increase in line with the growth of the Indian economy.
As the Government of India continues to encourage the use of LPG in lieu of other dirtier fuels such as kerosene, biomass and coal, the demand for LPG continues to increase and with it, the demand for import terminalling capacity. In this context, the medium and long term outlook for the group remains positive.

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Aegis Logistics Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including statement of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the Standalone Financial Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at March 31, 2025, the profit and total comprehensive income (financial performance), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:
| Sr. No. |
Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in the Audit |

| use. Due to the materiality of the amounts capitalized and included in Capital Work in Progress, in the context of the Balance Sheet of the Company, this is considered to be a key area having significant effect on the overall audit strategy and allocation of resources in planning and completion of our audit; Pertaining to the above capital projects, the management has identified specific expenditure including employee costs and other overheads relating to each of the assets in the above capital projects and has applied judgement to assess if the costs incurred in relation to these assets meet the recognition criteria of Property, Plant and Equipment in accordance with Ind AS 16; There are areas where management judgements impact the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and their respective depreciation/ amortization rates. These include the decision to capitalise or expense costs, the annual asset life review, the timeliness of the capitalisation of assets and the use of management’s assumptions and estimates for the determination or the measurement and recognition criteria for assets retired from active use; This has been determined as a key audit matter due to the significance of the capital expenditure during the year as compared to the existing block of Property, Plant and Equipment, the risk that the elements of costs that are eligible for capitalization are not appropriately capitalised in accordance with the recognition criteria provided in Ind AS 16 and the complex nature of the project. |
Assessing the progress of the project and the intention and ability of the management to bring the asset to its state of intended use; Understanding, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating to capitalisation of various costs incurred; Testing, on sample basis, the direct and indirect costs capitalised, with the underlying supporting documents to ascertain nature of costs and basis for allocation, where applicable, and evaluated whether they meet the recognition criteria provided in the Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 16, Property, Plant and Equipment; Ensuring adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements; Reviewing the judgements made by the management including the nature of underlying costs capitalized, determination of realizable value of the assets retired from active use, the appropriateness of useful lives applied in the calculation of depreciation/ amortization, the useful lives of assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Act and the useful lives of certain assets as per the technical assessment of the management. We have found that the management has regularly reviewed aforesaid judgments and there are no material changes. |

The Company’s management and the Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Other Information. The Other Information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report, including Annexures to the Directors’ Report, Corporate Governance Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report, and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Other Information as above is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the Other Information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
106 Annual Report 2024–25
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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. When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s management and the Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including Other Comprehensive Income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Management and Board of Directors is 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of The Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Auditor’s Report 107
-
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 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 our auditor’s report. 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 Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
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 Financial Statements of the current period 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.

116 Annual Report 2024–25
ANNEXURE B TO INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
[Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ in the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date]
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements of Aegis Logistics Limited (“the Company”) as at March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on the internal control criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial
Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 with reference to Standalone Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that:
Auditor’s Report 117
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
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
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 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 with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 with reference to Standalone Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Standalone 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements
1 General information
Aegis Logistics Limited (‘the Company’) having its registered office at 502, Skylon, G.I.D.C., Char Rasta, Vapi - 396 195, Dist. Valsad, Gujarat and corporate office at 1202, 12th Floor, Tower B, Peninsula Business Park, Ganpatrao Kadam Marg, Lower Parel (West), Mumbai-400 013, was incorporated on 30th June, 1956 vide certificate of incorporation No. L63090GJ1956PLC001032 issued by the Registrar of Companies, Gujarat.
The Company is in the business of import and distribution of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and storage and terminalling facility for LPG, Oil, Petroleum and chemical products and erection and construction of terminals and allied facilities.
2 Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
3 Basis of preparation and presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
4 Functional and presentation currency
These Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest lakh with two decimals, unless otherwise indicated.
5 Statement of material accounting policies
Accounting policy information is material, if when considered together with other information included in entity's financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
124 Annual Report 2024–25
Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events, or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.
I) Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Subsequent measurement
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using the exchange rate on the date of transaction.
II) Property, plant and equipment
-
i) Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises
-
a) the purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.,
-
b) borrowing cost.
-
c) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and
Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property plant and equipment recognised as at April 01, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment except in respect of freehold land, fair value determined on the date of transition is considered as deemed cost.
Capital work-in-progress (CWIP) in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest if any.
ii) Subsequent expenditure:
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 125
iii) Depreciation / amortisation
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method. Useful life of the asset is taken, as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of storage tanks which is based on technical evaluation done by the management
Depreciation on additions during the year has been provided on prorata basis from the date of such additions. Depreciation on assets sold, discarded or demolished has been provided on prorata basis.
Leasehold assets are amortised over the primary period of lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter on a straight line basis.
III) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised, only if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. The intangible assets are recorded at cost and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Computer software is amortised on straight line basis over a period of its estimated useful life, however not exceeding 5 years.
IV) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss has been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
V) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised at transaction price. Transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
126 Annual Report 2024–25
Financial Assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
i) Classification of financial assets
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.
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 other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt Instruments at FVOCI
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the fair value through other comprehensive income(FVOCI) if both the following conditions are met:
-
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, 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.
For assets classified as subsequently measured at FVOCI, interest revenue, expected credit losses, and foreign exchange gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Other gains and losses on remeasurement to fair value are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Company may elect to classify a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 127
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
In accordance with Ind AS 27 the Company has elected the policy to account investments in subsidiaries at cost.
iii) Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain of loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of the transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
iv) Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets of the Company comprise of trade receivable and other receivables consisting of loans, deposits, input credit receivables and bank balance. An impairment loss for trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Impairment losses if any, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.
v) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial instruments with a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial assets is recognised as financial liability by the Company.
i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
ii) Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
128 Annual Report 2024–25
iii) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either contingent consideration recognised by the Company as an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies or is held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
-
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short term profit taking; or
-
it is derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration recognised by the Company as an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies, may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminated or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
-
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping in provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and in included in the 'Finance cost' line item.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'Finance cost' line item.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
iv) Derecognition
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. When the Company exchanges with the existing lender of one debt instruments into another one with the substantially different terms such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 129
v) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
VI) Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including cross currency interest rate swaps. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
Hedge accounting
The Company designates derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as fair value hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
Fair value hedges
Changes in fair value of the designated portion of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in the statment of profit and loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the designated portion of hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the line item relating to hedge item. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when the hedged item no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to the statement of profit or loss from that date.
VII) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of cost of such assets till the time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying assets is the one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. Other borrowing costs are recorded as an expense in the statement of Profit and loss in the year in which they are incurred.
VIII) Leases
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
The Company as a lessee
The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves–
-
a) the use of an identified asset,
-
b) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and
-
c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
130 Annual Report 2024–25
The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognises a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and a corresponding lease liability, for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) or low-value assets.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised
The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.
Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the valuein-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the Statement of profit and loss.
For short-term or low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease liability has been presented in financial liabilities and ROU asset has been presented in Note 7A “Property, Plant and Equipment” and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Contracts in which all the risks and rewards of the lease are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Leases, for which the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head-lease and sublease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the head-lease.
IX) Inventories
Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by using the First in First Out formula. Costs comprise all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and cost incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition other than taxes that are subsequently recoverable by the Company from tax authorities.
X) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less or 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.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 131
XI) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration (transaction price) which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Service revenue is recognised based on contract terms and on time proportion basis as applicable and excludes Goods and Services Tax.
Construction and project related activity
Contract revenue is recognised over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied and control is transferred to the customer.
XII) Other income
Dividend and Interest income
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive payment has been established.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
XIII) Retirement and other employee benefits
i) Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii) Post Employment Employee Benefits
Retirement benefits to employees comprise payments to government provident funds, gratuity fund, leave encashment and superannuation fund (for eligible employees).
Defined contribution plans
Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund and superannuation fund are a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Defined benefit plans
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year.
132 Annual Report 2024–25
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in OCI. Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset), to the net defined liability (asset) at the start of the financial year after taking into account any changes as a result of contribution and benefit payments during the year. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long term benefits
Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains/losses are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
XIV) Taxation
Income tax expenses represent the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 133
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
iii) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
XV) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements
Further, long term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
XVI) Operating cycle
Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current: All assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time lag between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, 12- month period has been considered by the Company as its normal operating cycle.
XVII) Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.
6 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Company’s Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors including estimation of effects of uncertain future events that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates (accounted on a prospective basis) are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgements and estimations that have been made by the Management in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and/or key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
134 Annual Report 2024–25
a) Property, plant and equipment:
Determination of the estimated useful lives of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalised. Useful lives of tangible assets are based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful lives are different from that prescribed in Schedule II, they are based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers’ warranties and maintenance support. Assumptions also need to be made, when the Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
b) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations:
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds corresponds to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.

Note 9.2
-
Corporate guarantees given on behalf of Aegis Gas (LPG) Private Limited (AGPL) and Hindustan Aegis LPG Limited (HALPG), without charging any fee is recognised at a value which represents a fee which would have been charged by a bank for issuing a similar guarantee to the subsidiary. Such value determined is recognised as deemed investment in the Company with the corresponding liability amortised to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the term of the guarantee.
-

-
Increase in ratio is due to increase in profit
-
Decrease in ratio is due to increase in purchases and reduction in cost of goods sold
-
Decrease in the ratio is due to increase in debtors
-
Decrease in ratio is due to increase in receivables and increase in deposit.

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 165
The principal actuarial assumptions used for estimating the Company’s benefit obligations are set out below (on a weighted average basis):
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| Particulars | As at | As at |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Rate of increase in salaries | 6.00% | 6.00% |
| Discount rate | 6.55% | 7.15% |
| Rates of leaving services | 14% to 19% | 14% to 19% |
| MortalityTable | IALM(2012-14)Ult | IALM(2012-14)Ult |
Notes:
1. Discount rate
The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities for the estimated term of the obligations.
2. Salary escalation rate
The estimates of future salary increases considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
- Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the statistics published by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation:
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| Particulars Change in Assumption |
Effect of Gratuity Obligation (Liability) |
|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 |
|
| Discount rate Minus 50 basis points Discount rate Plus 50 basis points Rate of increase in salaries Minus 50 basis points Rate of increase in salaries Plus 50 basispoints |
18.80 15.22 (17.84) (14.44) (18.02) (14.66) 18.81 15.32 |
The above sensitivity analyses have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the reporting date. In practice, generally it does not occur. When we change one variable, it affects to others. In calculating the sensitivity, project unit credit method at the end of the reporting period has been applied.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 3.10 years.
The Company makes payment of liabilities from its cash balances whenever liability arises.
Expected contribution to post employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2026 is Rs. 50 lakh.

Net debt to equity ratio is not calculated as the Equity/ adjusted net debt is negative.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.

C. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
Credit risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk)
i) Risk management framework
The Company has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.
The carrying amount of following financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
The average credit period on sale of goods and for rendering of services ranges from 30 days to 90 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables which are overdue. The Company has a credit management policy for customer onboarding, evaluation, credit assessment and setting up of credit limits.
Credit risk on its receivables is recognised on the statement of financial position at the carrying amount of those receivable assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. Receivable balances are monitored on a monthly basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not considered to be material. The Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
Impairment
The ageing of trade and other receivables that were not impaired was as follows:
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| Particulars | March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 |
March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Not past due | 24,853.82 | 11,082.17 |
| Past due 1–180 days | 3,474.89 | 1,826.59 |
| More than 180 days | 3,755.16 | 2,902.86 |
| Carrying amount of receivables | 32,083.87 | 15,811.62 |
Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers’ credit ratings wherever available.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 169
iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rest with the management, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk framework for the management of the Company’s short term, mediumterm and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has undrawn lines of credit of Rs. 58,804 lakh as of March 31, 2025 (Rs. 42,999 lakh as of March 31, 2024), from its bankers for working capital requirements. The Company has the right to draw upon these lines of credit based on its requirement and terms of draw down.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up to reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 171
iv) Market risk
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure in foreign currency risk.
(a) Currency risk
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company is exposed to currency risk significantly on account of its trade payables, borrowings and other payables denominated in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company currently hedge its foreign currency risk by taking foreign exchange forward contracts.
Exposure to currency risk
Company’s exposure to currency risk is as under:
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| As at | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Financial liabilities | ||
| Trade payables (Rs.) | 18,459.65 | 13,110.28 |
| Borrowings(Rs.) | 9,652.72 | - |
| 28,112.37 | 13,110.28 | |
| Trade payables (US$) | 215.95 | 157.18 |
| Borrowings(US$) | 112.92 | - |
| 328.88 | 157.18 | |
| Less: Forward cover taken against above exposure | (115.70) | (40.00) |
| Exposure to currencyrisk | 213.18 | 117.18 |
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is exposed to the currencies as mentioned above. The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rs. against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against other currencies at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in US dollars and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| Effect in Rs. | (Profit) or loss |

(911.11) 911.11 (488.70) 488.70 |
172 Annual Report 2024–25
(b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because company borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate of borrowings.
The Company’s borrowings which are contracted at a fixed rate (excluding those which are hedged), are carried at amortised cost. Further these borrowings are not affected due to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107 as neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate in the event of a change in market interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Company’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest sensitivity analysis for Variable-rate instruments:
The Company is exposed to interest expense - interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate loan borrowings.
A reasonably possible change of 50 basis points (bp) in interest rates at Reporting Date would have impacted (profit) or loss by the amounts shown below. The indicative 50 basis point (0.50%) movement is directional and does not reflect management forecast on interest rate movement. This analysis assumes that all other variables remaining constant.

We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of Consolidated Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on Consolidated Financial Statements.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined, taking into consideration the audit reports issued by us on the standalone financial statements of the holding company and the subsidiaries audited by us, and audit reports issued by other auditors in respect of the subsidiaries audited by them, the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:

The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Other Information. The Other Information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report including Annexures to the Directors’ Report, Corporate Governance Report, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Other Information as above is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the Other Information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Auditor’s Report 179
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 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. When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s management and the Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance (including Other Comprehensive Income), consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective management and Board of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated 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 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 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.
180 Annual Report 2024–25
-
Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of The Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies which are incorporated in India, have adequate internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Director’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 Group’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 Consolidated 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 our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures and whether the Consolidated 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 of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial information of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated 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. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in the section titled ‘Other Matter’ in this audit report.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company 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 of the Holding Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period 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.
Other Matter

ANNEXURE A TO INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
[Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ in the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date]
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the aforesaid Consolidated Financial Statements under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of Aegis Logistics Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) and its subsidiary companies incorporated in India, as at March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company as at and for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies incorporated in India are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements based on the internal control criteria established by the respective Company considering the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies incorporated in India, based on the audit conducted by us in respect of Holding Company and subsidiary companies audited by us and based on the audit conducted by other auditors in respect of other subsidiary companies audited by them respectively. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the ‘Other Matter’ paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial
Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
Auditor’s Report 185
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
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
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 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 with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated 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 with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statement 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors, the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements established by the Holding Company and its subsidiaries considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.
Other Matter
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements in so far as it relates to five subsidiaries (including two step-down subsidiaries), which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India. Further, there are two subsidiary companies which are incorporated outside India, where Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements are not applicable.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1 General information
Aegis Logistics Limited (‘the Company’) having its registered office at 502, Skylon, GIDC, Char Rasta, vapi-396195, Dist. Valsad, Gujarat and corporate office at 1202, 12th Floor, Tower B, Peninsula Business Park, Ganpatrao Kadam Marg, Lower Parel (West), Mumbai-400013, was incorporated on June 30, 1956 vide certificate of incorporation No L63090GJ1956PLC001032 issued by the Registrar of Companies, Gujarat. It is the ultimate holding Group in the Aegis group of companies. Aegis Logistics Limited and its subsidiaries together referred as Group.
The Group is in the business of import and distribution of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and storage and terminalling facility for LPG, Oil, Petroleum and chemical products and erection and construction of terminals and allied facilities. The Group has storage facilities at Mumbai, Haldia, Pipavav, Kochi, Kandla and Mangalore.
2 Statement of Compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards(Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
3 Basis of preparation and presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation techniques. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement or disclosure purposes in these standalone financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share based payment transactions that are within scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
4 Functional and presentation currency
These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the Group’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest lakh with two decimals, unless otherwise indicated.
192 Annual Report 2024–25
5 Statement of material accounting policies
Accounting policy information is material, if when considered together with other information included in entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.
I) Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange of control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities related to employee benefits arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with Ind AS 12 Income taxes and Ind AS 19 Employee benefits respectively.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value of at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
Business Combinations between entities under common control is accounted for at carrying value.
II) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and entities controlled by the Group and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affects its returns.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Group and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Group and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 193
i) Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing the control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified /permitted by applicable Ind AS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under Ind AS 109, or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.

194 Annual Report 2024–25
III) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss if any.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units (CGU) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, if the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the units pro-rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit, any impairment loss or goodwill is not reversed in subsequent period.
On disposal of relevant CGU the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
IV) Foreign currencies
i) Foreign currency transactions
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Subsequent measurement
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction.
ii) Embedded derivatives
Embedded derivatives are carried at fair value and the resultant gains and losses are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
V) Property, plant and equipment
-
i) Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises
-
a) the purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.,
-
b) borrowing cost,
-
c) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and
Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 195
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property plant and equipment recognised as at April 01, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment except in respect of freehold land, fair value determined on the date of transition is considered as deemed cost.
Capital work-in-progress (CWIP) in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest if any.
ii) Subsequent expenditure:
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
iii) Depreciation / amortisation
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using straight line method. Useful life of the asset is taken, as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. except in respect of storage tanks which is based on technical evaluation done by the management.
Depreciation on additions during the year has been provided on prorata basis from the date of such additions. Depreciation on assets sold, discarded or demolished has been provided on prorata basis.
Leasehold assets are amortised over the primary period of lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter on a straight line basis.
iv) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised, only if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. The intangible assets are recorded at cost and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortised so as to reflect the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed over a period of 5 to 7 years.
Group capitalises the cost incurred to develop computer software for internal use during the application development stage of the software whereas cost incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred.
v) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
196 Annual Report 2024–25
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
VI) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised at transaction price. Transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
i) Classification of financial assets
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.
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 other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt Instruments at FVOCI
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the fair value through other comprehensive income(FVOCI) if both the following conditions are met:
-
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, 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.
For assets classified as subsequently measured at FVOCI, interest revenue, expected credit losses, and foreign exchange gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Other gains and losses on remeasurement to fair value are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 197
Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Group may elect to classify a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain of loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of the transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
iv) Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets of the Group comprise of trade receivable and other receivables consisting of loans, deposits, input credit receivables and bank balance. An impairment loss for trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Impairment losses if any, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.
198 Annual Report 2024–25
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial instruments with a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial assets is recognised as financial liability by the Group.
i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
ii) Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.
iii) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either contingent consideration recognised by the Group as an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies or is held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short term profit taking; or
-
it is derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration recognised by the Group as an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies, may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminated or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
-
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping in provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and in included in the ‘finance cost’ line item.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 199
The effective interest method is method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
v) Derecognition
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. When the Company exchanges with the existing lender one debt instruments into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
vi) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
VII) Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including cross currency interest rate swaps. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the statemetn of profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as fair value hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
Fair value hedges
Changes in fair value of the designated portion of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in the statement of profit and loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the designated portion of hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the line item relating Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it to the hedged item.no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to the statement of profit and loss from that date.
VIII) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
200 Annual Report 2024–25
Borrowing costs that are attributable to acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as a part of cost of such assets till the time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying assets is the one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. Other borrowing costs are recorded as an expense in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they are incurred.
IX) Leases
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
The Company as a lessee
The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves–
-
a) the use of an identified asset,
-
b) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and
-
c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognises a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and a corresponding lease liability, for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) or low-value assets.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised
The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.
Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the valuein-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the Statement of profit and loss.
For short-term or low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
X) Inventories
Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by using the First in First Out formula. Costs comprise all cost of purchase and cost incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition other than taxes that are subsequently recoverable by the Company from tax authorities.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 201
XI) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less or 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 Group’s cash management.
XII) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at amount of consideration (transaction price) which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer. Revenue is reduced for rebates.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Service revenue is recognised based on contract terms and on time proportion basis as applicable and excludes Goods and Services Tax.
XIII) Other income
Dividend and Interest income
Dividend income is recognised in statement of profit and loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on an accrual basis as per the terms of the lease contract and is included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
XIV) Retirement and other employee benefits
i) Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
202 Annual Report 2024–25
ii) Post Employment Employee Benefits
Retirement benefits to employees comprise payments to government provident funds, gratuity fund, leave encashment and superannuation fund.
Defined contribution plans
Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund and superannuation fund are a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective trusts.
Defined benefit plans
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year.
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in OCI. Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset), to the net defined liability (asset) at the start of the financial year after taking into account any changes as a result of contribution and benefit payments during the year. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in the statement of Profit and Loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Short term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates.
Other long term benefits
Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains/losses are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
XV) Taxation
Income tax expenses represent the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 203
recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
iii) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
iv) Minimum alternate tax credit
Minimum alternate tax credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
XVI) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements
Further, long term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
XVII) Operating cycle
Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current: All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time lag between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, 12 month period has been considered by the Company as its normal operating cycle.

6 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Ind AS requires use of estimates and assumptions for some items, which might have an effect on their recognition and measurement in the balance sheet and statement of profit and loss. The actual amounts realised may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates (accounted on a prospective basis) are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumption concerning the future and other key sources of estimations uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
a) Property, plant and equipment:
Determination of the estimated useful lives of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalised. Useful lives of tangible assets are based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful lives are different from that prescribed in Schedule II, they are based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers’ warranties and maintenance support. Assumptions also need to be made, when the Group assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
b) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations:
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
c) Recognition of deferred tax assets:
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all the deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. The management assesses that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

| Particulars | As at | As at |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |

| MortalityTable. | IALM(2012-14)Ult | IALM(2012-14)Ult |
Notes:
1. Discount rate
The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities for the estimated term of the obligations.
2. Salary escalation rate
The estimates of future salary increases considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
- Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the statistics published by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation:
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)

The above sensitivity analyses have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the reporting date. In practice, generally it does not occur. When we change one variable, it affects to others. In calculating the sensitivity, project unit credit method at the end of the reporting period has been applied.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 4.45 years.
The Group makes payment of liabilities from its cash balances whenever liability arises.
Expected contribution to post employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2026 is Rs. 175 lakh.

Capital Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued capital and other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Group’s Capital Management is to maximise shareholders value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial covenants.
The Group monitors capital using Adjusted net debt to equity ratio. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total debt less cash and bank balances.
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)

Net debt to equity ratio is not calculated as the Equity/adjusted net debt is negative.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 233
C. Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
▪ Credit risk;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk)
i) Risk management framework
The Group has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
The carrying amount of following financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
The average credit period on sale of goods and for rendering of services ranges from 30 days to 90 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables which are overdue. The Group has a credit management policy for customer onboarding, evaluation, credit assessment and setting up of credit limits.
Credit risk on its receivables is recognised on the statement of financial position at the carrying amount of those receivable assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. Receivable balances are monitored on a monthly basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered to be material. The Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
Impairment
The ageing of trade and other receivables that were not impaired was as follows:
(All amounts are in Rs. lakh, unless stated otherwise)
| Particulars | March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Not past due | 54,281.50 | 40,048.32 |
| Past due 1–180 days | 6,318.55 | 4,859.77 |
| More than 180 days | 8,727.14 | 6,430.16 |
| Carrying amount of receivables | 69,327.19 | 51,338.25 |
Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers’ credit ratings wherever available.
234 Annual Report 2024–25
iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rest with the management, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk framework for the management of the Group’s short term, mediumterm and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has undrawn lines of credit of Rs. 61,804 lakh and Rs. 47,999 lakh of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively, from its bankers for working capital requirements.
The Group has the right to draw upon these lines of credit based on its requirement and terms of draw down.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up to reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

- Contractual cash flows for more than 5 years represents carrying amount less contractual cash flows upto 5 years.
The gross inflows/(outflows) disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to financial liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are not usually closed out before contractual maturity.
iv) Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure in foreign currency risk.
(A) Currency risk
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group is exposed to currency risk significantly on account of its trade payables, borrowings and other payables denominated in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. The Group currently hedge its foreign currency risk by taking foreign exchange forward contracts.

Sensitivity analysis
The Group is exposed to the currencies as mentioned above. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rs. against the relevant foreign currencies. 5 % is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5 % change in foreign currency rates. A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against other currencies at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in US dollars and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

|March 31, 2024|(488.70)|488.70|
----- End of picture text -----
(B) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because company borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by The Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate of borrowings.
The Group’s borrowings which are contracted at a fixed rate (excluding those which are hedged), are carried at amortised cost. Further these borrowings are not affected due to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107 as neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate in the event of a change in market interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

These proposed transactions are commercially viable for the Company and its specified wholly owned subsidiaries (as stated above in point 1). ALL, AGPL and SCL undertake the respective transactions detailed in point No.3(i) with AVTL and/or with wholly owned subsidiary(ies) of AVTL i.e. KCPL and CRL as the case maybe. These transactions are intended to support the business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries primarily for the following reasons, as set out below: |
||
| Optimisation of Resources, Leverage of Expertise & Value Enhancement: The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries have demonstrated strong capabilities in construction of infrastructure developments i.e, developing and maintenance of infrastructure facilities in relation to the construction of tank storage terminals for liquified petroleum gas and other liquid products at ports of India and execution of it over the span of past years. Their expertise in delivering projects on time ensures cost-effective solutions, which plays a key role in execution. Additionally, these strategic collaborations are expected to contribute significantly in long-term value creation, as the financial and operational benefits derive from these projects will ultimately flow back to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. GATI (SPEED):The Projects relating to infrastructure developments and maintenance of infrastructure facilities are being executed in a timely, efficient and speedy manner by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary (ies) without any hamper in the pace of execution of the said projects. Furthermore, the projects are being delivered using the methodology of “FRD” i.e., Fast Result Delivery. This approach/ methodology is designed to eliminate the possibility of delays in delivery of Projects. EPC Contracts: This will also include the provision and receipt of services among the parties, under Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts, carried out by Company/ its wholly owned subsidiary (ies) with proven expertise in tank terminal development—possessing the required technical know-how, infrastructure, and execution capabilities. Mitigate Construction-related Risk:We are able to mitigate construction related risk as the Company uses the expertise of personnel employed in the Company/ its wholly owned subsidiaries for the construction activity. The Company/ its wholly owned subsidiaries is not subject to boundary management issues like encroachment on the open plot while the construction is in progress, thereby protects the related parties from any boundary management issues. Tax Efficient: Additionally, there is tax-efficient arrangement as there is no levy of applicable GST under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and further, input tax credit is transferable to the transferee Company. |
