None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their relatives are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution as set out at Item No. 11 of the Notice.

The Board recommends the Ordinary Resolution as set out at Item No. 11 of this Notice for approval of the members of the Company.

Item No. 12

Members of the Company are requested to note that Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 mandates that the Board of Directors of a company shall exercise the power to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of any undertaking(s) of the company, only with the approval of the members of the Company by way of a special resolution. Explanation (i) to Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 states that the meaning of an

'undertaking' is an undertaking in which the investment of the company exceeds twenty percent of its net worth as per the audited balance sheet of the preceding financial year or an undertaking which generates twenty percent of the total income of the company during the previous financial year. Explanation (ii) to Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 states that the meaning of 'substantially the whole of the undertaking' in any financial year, shall be twenty percent or more of the value of the undertaking as per the audited balance sheet of the preceding financial year.

The Company has identified its business undertaking, namely, 'DCM Engineering Products' as 'substantial' in terms of Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act , 2013 and therefore requires members' approval by way of 'Special Resolution' for disposal of the said business undertaking.

(i) Engineering business undertaking namely, 'DCM Engineering Products', (ii) IT Business undertaking namely, 'DCM Data Products' and (iii) Real Estate Development. The Board further noted that Engineering business undertaking of the Company is uniquely positioned to be run as a dedicated entity targeted towards supplies to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in automotive markets. In order to unlock value for business of manufacturing and supply of grey iron castings and also to explore opportunities to attract "capital plus technology" type of strategic partnership for said business of manufacturing and supply of grey iron castings, it was considered prudent by the Board that the Company should transfer Engineering business undertaking namely, 'DCM Engineering Products' to DCM Tools & Dyes Limited, (Buyer), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on a going concern basis, by way of slump sale, and continue to run and operate the IT Business and Real Estate Development Business.

Further, Regulation 24(6) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended from time to time, provides that selling, disposing and leasing of assets amounting to more than twenty percent of the assets of the material subsidiary on an aggregate basis during a financial year shall require prior approval of shareholders by way of special resolution unless

Pursuant to aforementioned Regulation 24, sale, transfer or disposal and / or dilution of the shareholding of the Company in its material subsidiary (i.e. DTDL) or sale, transfer, disposal of assets and/or the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking or one or more undertakings of DTDL shall require approval of the shareholders of the Company through a special resolution.

Further pursuant to Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 shareholders' approval is required by a Company to sell or otherwise dispose off the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the Company.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors have pleasure in presenting this 129th Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of your Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2019.

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

One year ago economic activity was accelerating in almost all regions of the world and the global economy was projected to grow at 3.9 percent in 2018 and 2019. One year later, much has changed: the escalation of US–China trade tensions, disruptions to the auto sector in Germany and financial tightening alongside the normalization of monetary policy in the larger advanced economies have all contributed to a significantly weakened global expansion, especially in the second half of 2018. While 2019 started out on a weak footing, a pickup is expected in the second half of the year with the support of significant policy accommodation by major economies.

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers of the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its strong democracy and partnerships.

Indian Economy started the fiscal year 2018-19 with a healthy 8.2 percent growth in the first quarter. Growth eased to 7.3 percent in the subsequent quarters. The country was confronted with the cumulative impact of a strengthening US Dollar and rising crude oil prices. This resulted in a sharp adjustment in Rupee amidst volatile trading in emerging market currencies. Further recovery in some advanced economies also caused faster investment outflows.

The interim Union Budget for 2019-20 announced by the Government of India on February 01, 2019 focused on supporting the needy farmers, economically less privileged, workers in the unorganised sector and salaried employees, while continuing the Government of India's push towards better physical and social infrastructure.

Building on the interim Budget, the finance minister presented the final Budget for FY 2019-20. The Budget can be seen as an inclusive and pragmatic approach to help the nation move from the current \$2.7 trillion economy to a \$5 trillion one over the next 5 years.

The Finance Minister unleashed a pro-development budget which aims at inclusive development in economy, infrastructure, environment, education, affordable housing, electric vehicles with focus on revitalizing Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), startup ecosystem and rural India to provide ease of living, improve inclusive growth, reduce income inequality, build digital ecosystem, create a cashless economy and bring about a transparent and honest regime.

(Please refer below para on 'Schemes of Arrangements/ Amalgamations and Slump Sale' for further details).

issues, besides low demand in the last quarter of the year, and decline in margin because of higher rejection, increased input cost and under recovery of the fixed overheads.

The increased level of interaction by officers at different levels have resulted in improved morale of workmen and cordial relations with them. The Division continue to focus for cost optimization and better productivity across all areas of operations.

IT Division

The IT Division of the Company is an established service provider for managed IT Services globally. The Division has over a decade's experience in IT Infrastructure services specializing in networking, analytics, cloud, and digital technologies.

During the year the operations were stable after the cut backs by some of Division's primary customers in the previous year pursuant to downturn in their business. The full impact of order cancellations and drop in volumes was absorbed during the current year.

The Division expect the position to improve next year with stabilization of the onsite business and new export order booking in the managed services business.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT TEXTILE DIVISION*

Industry Structure and Developments

India's textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back several centuries. Even today, textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to India's exports with approximately 13 per cent of total exports. The textiles industry is also labour intensive and is one of the largest employers. The textile industry has two broad segments. First, the unorganised sector consists of handloom, handicrafts and sericulture, which are operated on a small scale and through traditional tools and methods. The second is the organised sector consisting of spinning, apparel and garments segment which apply modern machinery and techniques such as economies of scale.

The Indian textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and handwoven textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated mills sector at the other end of the spectrum. The decentralised power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector form the largest component of the textiles sector. The close linkage of the textile industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of textiles make the Indian textiles sector unique in comparison to the industries of other countries. The Indian textile industry has the capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable to different market segments, both within India and across the world.

The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US\$ 150 billion, is expected to reach US\$ 250 billion by 2019. India's textiles industry contributed about 7% of the industry output (in value terms) of India in FY18.

Opportunities and Outlook

With a tremendous growth in the economy along with government's support, the Indian economy is expected to overtake Japan to be the 3rd largest economy by 2028. India's exports is also expected to improve in coming years benefitting from the trade war between US and China. Moreover, India's exports is expected to rise with India and China entering into a bilateral trade roadmap. This roadmap is for a medium and long-term period that will help to set timelines and action points for both the countries. It will help to increase bilateral trade between both the countries in a balanced and sustainable manner.

Financial and Operational Performance.

The performance of the Textile Division for the year ended March 31, 2019 is as follows-

S. Particulars Financial Year Financial Year
No. ended March ended March
31, 2019 31, 2018
1. Sales in Quantity (MT) 30,401 28,735
2. Production ( MT ) 30,190 29,321
3. Sales & other Income (Rs. in lacs) 67,535 60,111

6. Finance Cost (Rs. in lacs) (1,443) (1,318)
7. Depreciation (Rs. in lacs) (1,701) (1,874)
8. Profit before Tax (Rs. in lacs) 4,651 1,551

During the year under review, the Profit Before Tax (PBT) Increased to Rs. 38.66 crores in the financial Year 2018-19 from Rs. 15.51 crores in the previous financial Year 2017-18 on account of increase in margin due to increase in yarn prices, higher export market demand, rupee depreciation etc.

Risk & Concerns

Competition from other developing countries, high volatility of cotton, yarn price and the Rupee to US\$ exchange rate are the major concern. The Division is trying to reduce the impact of volatility by reducing open position in respect of above. Labour shortage is another area which is affecting operations. This is being mitigated by increasing worker training programs and strengthening operational efficiency.

Internal Controls

The Division has a proper and adequate system of Internal Controls to ensure that all assets are safeguarded and protected against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that all transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. The focus on creating a paperless work environment has increased productivity, de-risked operations and reduced errors as data is captured at the point of transaction. The internal control systems are supplemented by internal audits and review of the same by the Audit Committee at corporate level.

Manpower Development

In a world where everything else is equal, human effort makes all the difference. We place immense value on our workforce and consider it our biggest, most valuable asset. At DCM, we have a culture of empowerment that values and respects individual potential and helps each one achieve it to the fullest. Our people own their jobs and not just perform them. We continuously strive to improve quality of work-life for total job satisfaction and social harmony for the employees. The total number of people on the rolls of the Textile Division is 1760.

*The Textile Division of the Company stand transferred and vested in the DCM Nouvelle Limited with effect from Appointed date of April 1, 2019 under Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and DCM Nouvelle Limited ('Resulting Company') sanctioned by Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi (NCLT) vide its order dated May 1, 2019 and its becoming effective from May 13, 2019.

ENGINEERING DIVISION

Industry Structure and Developments

The foundry industry, also known as the casting industry, plays the role of a 'mother' industry in India. It is a core industry producing cast metal components which serve as a basic raw material for many sectors. Growth in the industrial sector, post-recession, especially in manufacturing activities, has given a boost to the foundry industry.

There are approximately 5,000 units out of which 90% can be classified as MSME's, out of which approximately 1500 units have some International Quality Accreditation. Several large Indian foundries are modern and globally competitive with efficient induction furnaces and a growing awareness about environment and energy conservation.

The auto-casting industry in India, with revenue of Rs 50,000 crore in financial year 2018-19, can be categorised into ferrous and non-ferrous segments. The industry comprises major engine components such as cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, gear housing, and braking components such as brake drums and housings, clutch and flywheel housing.

Opportunities and Outlook

India's automobile industry is set to change significantly with the implementation of BS VI emission norms and proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs).

While the BS VI emission norms will have a more near-term impact, the effect of EVs will be felt in medium to long term.

Management Discussion and Analysis continued

On April 1, 2020, India will transit from BS IV straight to BS VI emission norms, skipping the BS V stage. These norms are expected to impact the whole automobile industry barring the tractor segment.

It is expected that the BS VI emission norms to affect the auto-casting industry only slightly. While two-wheelers will feel the brunt, the net value of auto castings within this segment is expected to remain largely unchanged.

Cars and utility vehicles do not envisage a significant change because of low share of diesel vehicles. In commercial vehicles, changes are expected in engine components and the exhaust management system, which have a low impact on auto-casting.

Nevertheless, BS VI norms will lead to addition of both non-casted components and more electricals/sensors and changes in electronic control unit (ECU), which will push up prices across vehicle segments. Therefore, advancement in sales, particularly in the commercial vehicle segment is anticipated.

With environmental pollution concerns mounting across the world, the push for vehicles running on alternative fuel sources has gained momentum. With battery costs plunging in last few years, EVs are fast emerging as a desirable option.

8. Profit before Tax (Rs. in lacs) (3,061) (3,986)

During the year, the Division achieved total dispatch of 46,615 MT (previous year 40,957 MT). The Engineering Division continued to make losses because of lower volume due to production constraints primarily on account of IR issues, besides low demand in the last quarter of the year, and decline in margin because of higher rejection, increased input cost and under recovery of the fixed overheads.

The increased level of interaction by officers at different levels have resulted in improved morale of workmen and cordial relations with them. The Division continue to focus for cost optimization and better productivity across all areas of operations.

Risk & Concerns

The Company's success depends on its ability to offer products as per customers' requirements in a timely manner and maintaining competitiveness/quality. In the short run, the need to stablished a high productivity environment through appropriate collaboration with workmen is key to stablished competitiveness. Intensifying competition and volatility in input cost could materially and adversely affect the Company's sales, financial conditions and results of operations.

Further, many proposals announced by the Government to boost electric vehicles in the Union Budget 2019-20 , is a major risk for casting industry as a whole.

Internal Controls

The Division maintains adequate internal control systems commensurate with the nature of its business and size and complexity of its operations. These are regularly tested for their effectiveness by Statutory as well as Internal Auditors. Further, the internal control systems have been designed to provide reasonable assurance with regard to recording and providing reliable financial and operational information. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's internal control environment and monitors the implementation of audit recommendations.

Manpower Development

The company has continued its efforts and focus on capability and skill upgradation through structured training and development in the Division. The division has established a fully functional training centre called "Gurukul" and a dedicated team for training and development activities. The training team is not only concentrating on regular classroom trainings but also OJTs (On the Job trainings) which will result in more skilled manpower. The TQM activities were on top priority and focus was on strengthening the processes to achieve quality and customer satisfaction. The division has also focused on employee engagement activities such as one to one informal meetings with workers at shop floors and interaction with workers on 'Chai pe-Charcha', as the company has firm belief that happy employees are the biggest asset to the organisation. The division is working to make the company a "Great Place to Work Company". The total number of people on the rolls of the Engineering Division is 1494.

IT DIVISION

Industry Structure and Developments

The global scenario in the developed world is right now a little uncertain. Britain has become a laughing stock and there is uncertainty on how the whole Brexit story will play out. USA has been threatening sanctions against all the major trading countries/blocks and there is general linked uncertainty. While both China and the European Union have agreed to get into a dialogue with the US and both sides do recognize the need for restraint, the final outcome is a concern area.

On the positive side at the moment however the US economy is doing very well and throwing up a lot of opportunities. There is a shortage of general skills and labor in the US because the Trump administration has made it difficult to get work permits. While the H1B visa numbers have still not been changed, but the gradual tightening of regulations has started impacting the Indian IT companies. Other initiatives on saving jobs in US and on immigration reforms have the potential of hurting the Indian IT companies and stemming the growth rates. Even Singapore & Australia have brought in their own version of immigration control for the Indian technical workforce.

As per Gartner the worldwide IT spending is projected to total \$3.8 trillion in 2019, an increase of 3.2 percent from 2018. The North American market is estimated to be \$1.5 trillion. Middle East and North Africa (MENA) IT spending is expected to be \$160 billion in 2019. While the overall global market is expected to grow at 3.2%, the Indian IT market is expected to grow at 6.7% and reach a size of \$ 89.2 Billion.

Internet of Things (IoT) combined with smart-machine technologies, will continue to be one of the top drivers in shaping the future of IT service Industry. It is expected that the number of IoT devices in use would be more than 50 billion in the next few years. With cloud becoming more mainstream the growth in IT will be predominantly because of increased usage of software via the consumption model by enterprises.

Opportunities and Outlook

The return of the Modi government to power in the recently held general elections has sent a new wave of euphoria and enthusiasm. The new government

Management Discussion and Analysis continued

will hit the ground running as it looks to get economic growth back on track by simplifying taxes, easing compliance and spurring demand.

In USA, the rhetoric linked with the "America First Policy", "buy American", "hire American" & "retain jobs in America" policies has started having an indirect impact on Indian IT companies. While there is no specific law yet on this issue, a lot of customers have started insisting on taking only citizens.

India had been a slow adopter for the cloud technologies. However over the last year we have started seeing action in requirements for the cloud. As per a Nasscom study over the next 3 years the market for cloud related services will boom in India.

The Division has invested now in technical skills for being able to sell and implement cloud related services on Microsoft (Azure & Office 365), Amazon (AWS) and IBM (Public Cloud and ICP). The Division is building relationships across USA and Middle East to be able to sell these services through partners in these geographies. The Division also sees an opportunity to partner with companies who operate as diversity companies in the US. The Division hope to augment their capability to pick up more business from their customers.

Based on market conditions and the growth prospects both in India and the USA, the Division is consistently investing to build capabilities in new areas in the IT infrastructure domain, which will help us grow faster.

Financial and Operational Performance:

The financial performance of the IT Division for the year ended March 31, 2019 is as follows:

S.
No.

(Rs. in Lacs)

During the year the operations were stable after the cut backs at some of Division's primary customers in the previous year pursuant to downturn in their businesses. The full impact of Orders cancellation, drop in volumes and profitability was absorbed during the year. This was partly offset with business from new customers acquired during the year. The Division expect the position to improve from next year.

The year has also seen increased focus on the IT Services business with investments in the identified newer technology areas viz. Cloud, digital services, application and performance management. The Division expect to retrain its employees and reorient its marketing engine in line with the revised Services portfolio. The manpower availability and quality is a major concern for us both in India and the US. The number of instances of fake candidates that we encounter is only growing year-on-year. Being in services which accrue over time, this has a direct impact on our revenue.

Over the last year the Division also commenced activity in the Middle East with some orders and business opportunities that we further hope to capitalize on in the subsequent years. There are other proposals in the pipeline and we hope to ramp up business from this geography.

Risks and Concerns

As a major portion of the Division's business is linked to US –based companies, any turbulence in the US economy could lead to an adverse impact on the Division's financials.

The impact of the America First Policy of the Trump administration is still not clear, especially with respect to immigration, manpower movement, off-shoring of jobs, etc.

Buying in India is primarily government driven. Since the division has a large exposure in the managed services implementation business to government orders, there can be delays in order closure.

The Division's business is concentrated with a few Customers. Any change in our customers' business / preferences will have a large impact on our revenue. Given this fact, over the last few years the Division has consciously been working on building new customers.

Manpower sourcing, on time and of the desired quantity is one of the biggest challenges for future growth and customer satisfaction.

Since a major part of the transaction are in foreign exchange, the exchange rate fluctuation has a direct and significant impact on profitability. Any appreciation in the Indian Rupee will have a direct adverse impact on both the revenues and profits of the Division.

Internal Controls

The operations of the Division are spread across different geographies, including India and the USA. Hence, commensurate internal controls have been instituted that are regularly upgraded in-line with the changes in the regulatory and control requirements. The Division has adequate control systems and internal policies, for order processing, legal compliances, employee recruitment and management, accounting, maintenance services and security systems to safeguard its IT infrastructure.

Manpower Development /Industrial Relations

The Division's business model is manpower-centric and involves providing high end technical services to clients in the field of IT Infrastructure Services. Availability of skilled & employable resources continues to be a major challenge, both in the USA and in India. Hence, it is necessary to train and upgrade the skills of our manpower resources to meet the business requirements. The Division has an in house Competency Centre to impart hands-on training to employees in various IT Infrastructure skills. This in-house capability is the backbone of our operations. The total number of people on the rolls of the IT Division is 209.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To The Members of DCM Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of DCM Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2019, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "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 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2019, and the profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows, for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to note 55 of the standalone financial statements which indicates that pursuant to approval of demerger of the Textile Division with effect from 1 April 2019 by the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), vide its order dated 1 May 2019, the Company's net worth will be substantially reduced and the current liabilities will exceed current assets by Rs. 6,739.35 lacs as at the beginning of 1 April 2019. The Company is facing liquidity issues and there are certain delays in making the statutory dues and vendor payments and subsequent to the year end, the Company has also defaulted on its scheduled repayment of loans and interest payments aggregating Rs. 749.22 lacs to a bank and a financial institution. Above financial position, post demerger, and the continuing losses in one of the remaining businesses of the Company indicate material uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which would be dependent upon realization of the Company's future plans as indicated in the note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Other Information

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Auditor's Report continued

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's management and Board of Directors are 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 state of affairs, profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

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 may 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • t 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 those resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
  • t Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • t Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • t 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.

  • t 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.

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.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor's report on the standalone financial statements of DCM Limited for the year ended 31 March 2019.

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

(Referred to in paragraph 1(A)(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of DCM Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2019, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. 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 Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act").

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements. 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 financial statements were established and maintained and whether 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 financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to 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 controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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 Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1.1. Company overview

DCM Limited (the 'Company') is a public limited company incorporated in India in the name and style of Delhi Cloth & General Mills Co. Limited with registered office at Vikrant Tower, 4, Rajendra Place, New Delhi, India (CIN number L74899DL1889PLC000004). The Company is listed on two stock exchanges in India namely National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. and BSE Ltd. The Company is engaged in the business of Textiles, Grey iron casting, IT Infrastructure Services and Real Estate.

1.2. Basis of preparation and presentation

These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the 'Act') and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The standalone financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on August 12, 2019.

Details of the Company's accounting policies are included in Note 2.

a. Functional and presentation currency

These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.

b. Basis of measurement

The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items:

Items Measurement basis
Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) Fair value
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations
Other financial assets and liabilities Amortized cost

c. Use of estimates and judgements

In preparing these standalone financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual result may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

Note 2 (l) - leases: whether an arrangement contains a lease

Note 2 (l) - lease classification

Note 2 (f) - classification of financial assets: assessment of business model within which the assets are held and assessment of whether the contractual terms of the financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending March 31, 2020 is included in the following notes:

Note 2 (i) - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions

Note 2 (c) - measurement of useful lives and residual values to property, plant and equipment

Note 2 (d) - measurement of useful lives of intangible assets

Note 2 (b) - fair value measurement

Note 2 (j) - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of outflow of resources

Note 2 (m) - recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which tax losses carried forward can be used

Note 2 (e) - Valuation of inventory

Note 2 (g) and 2 (f) – Estimated impairment of financial assets and non-financial assets

2. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Changes in significant accounting policies

The Company has initially applied Ind AS 115 from 1 April 2018.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Company in applying the above standard, comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of new standard.

There is no significant impact of transition from Ind AS 18 to Ind AS 115 in recognizing revenue by the Company.

Ind AS 115 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaced Ind AS 18 Revenue Recognition, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control - at a point in time or over time - requires judgment.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application (i.e. l April 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017-18 has not been restated - i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under lnd AS 18, Ind AS 11 and related interpretations. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in Ind AS 115 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

The Company has also applied Appendix B "Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration" to Ind AS 21, "the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates" which does not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

a. Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

  • t *UJTFYQFDUFEUPCFSFBMJTFEJO
    PSJTJOUFOEFEGPSTBMFPSDPOTVNQUJPOJO
    UIF\$PNQBOZTOPSNBMPQFSBUJOHDZDMF

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

  • t *UJTFYQFDUFEUPCFTFUUMFEJOUIF\$PNQBOZTOPSNBMPQFSBUJOHDZDMF
  • t *UJTIFMEQSJNBSJMZGPSUIFQVSQPTFPGCFJOHUSBEFE

Current liabilities include the current portion of financial liabilities some part of which may be non-current. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Operating cycle

Based on the nature of products/ activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent.

b. Measurement of fair values

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes the corporate finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the board of directors.

The corporate finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company's audit committee.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

c. Property, Plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment having significant cost have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains or losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

All spare parts which are expected to be used for more than one accounting period are capitalised as property, plant and equipment.

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, net of impairment loss, if any. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition and location for their intended use, the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives.

  • (i) The Company follows straight-line method of depreciation in respect of buildings, plant and machinery, all assets of IT Division, all assets of Engineering Division and written down value method in respect of other assets.
  • (ii) The depreciation charged on all property, plant and equipment is on the basis of useful life specified in Part "C" of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 which represents useful lives of the assets.
  • (iii) On assets sold, discarded, etc., during the year, depreciation is provided up to the date of sale/discard.
  • (iv) Depreciation has been calculated on a pro-rata basis in respect of acquisition/installation during the year.
  • (v) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the balance of the primary lease period or the useful lives of assets, whichever is shorter.
  • (vi) Freehold land is not depreciated

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year, and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).

d. Intangible assets

Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets comprise computer software. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Amortisation

The management's estimates of the useful lives of the Software are 3-5 years.

Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

e. Inventories

  • (i) Stores, spares and components are valued at cost or under.
  • (ii) Raw materials, process stocks, finished goods and stock in trade are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
  • (iii) Land (for development) on conversion into inventory from fixed assets is valued at the lower of its historical cost and net realisable value, and includes appropriate share of land development expenses and finance cost of borrowed funds relatable thereto.

Cost of inventories, other than land (for development), is ascertained on the weighted average basis in textiles division and moving weighted average basis in engineering division. Further, in respect of the manufactured inventories, i.e., process stocks and finished goods, appropriate share of manufacturing expenses are included on absorption costing basis. Work in process relating to software contracts includes salary and other directly identifiable expenses incurred on fixed price contracts, till the completion of specified deliverables, and are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.

f. Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

(i) Financial assets

Trade receivables issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction 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 financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Classification and subsequent measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at

  • amortised cost;
  • FVTPL

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI-equity investment). The election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Impairment

The Company recognizes loss allowance using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-fortrading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(iv) Investment in Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

(i) Financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

(ii) Financial liabilities

The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in statement of profit or loss.

g. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment loss recognised in respect of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the CGU (or group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

h. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any resultant loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefit assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company's other accounting policies. Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.

i. Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. Employee benefit liabilities such as salaries, wages, casual leave allowance and bonus, etc. that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting year and are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Defined contribution plans

Provident Fund: A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts.

The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund and employee state insurance to Government administered fund which is a defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution is recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service and also includes contribution to national pension scheme and overseas social security contribution.

The Company makes specified monthly contribution towards superannuation fund to Superannuation Trust which is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India ("LIC").

Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's 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 Company has following defined benefit plans:

Gratuity: The Company's gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligation.

Remeasurements of the defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognized in OCI.

Other long-term employee benefits

Benefits under the Company's compensated absences are other long term employee benefits. The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

j. Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic benefits is remote.

k. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

However, sales tax/ value added tax (VAT)/ Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognized.

i. Sale of goods

The Company recognized revenue when (or as) a performance obligation was satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods underlying the particular performance obligation were transferred to the customer.

Further, revenue from sale of goods is recognized based on a 5-Step Methodology which is as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

Unearned or deferred revenue is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues.

Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Company reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.

ii. Rendering of services

Revenue from sale of services is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition:

  • a) The Company's contracts with customers could include promises to transfer products to a customer. The Company assesses the products promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
  • b) Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
  • c) The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in the contract.
  • d) The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.

iii. Other income

  • a. Dividend income is recognised in statement of profit or loss on the date on which the Company`s right to receive payment is established.
  • b. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.

The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

  • the gross carrying amount of the financial asset ; or
  • the amortised cost of the financial liability

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

l. Leases

i. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, it is determined whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement that contains a lease, the payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement are separated into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If it is concluded for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. The liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the incremental borrowing rate.

ii. Assets held under leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned assets.

Assets held under leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (i.e. operating leases) are not recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet.

iii. Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

iv. Assets given on lease

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company's expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

m. Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax expense is recognized in statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

i. Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.

ii. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognized for:

  • temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
  • taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets – unrecognized or recognized, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be real.

Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') expense under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as an asset when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement is set off to the extent allowed in the year in which the Company becomes liable to pay income taxes at the enacted tax rates. MAT credit entitlement is reviewed at each reporting date and is written down to reflect the amount that is reasonably certain to be set off in future years against the future income tax liability. MAT Credit Entitlement is presented as part of deferred tax in the balance sheet.

n. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

In accordance with Ind AS 108 – Operating Segments, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of internal reports used by the Company's Management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.

The Board of Directors is collectively the Company's 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' or 'CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108.

In addition to the significant accounting policies applicable to the segments as set out in note 2 of notes forming part of the financial statement, the accounting policies in relation to segment accounting are as under :-

i) Segment assets and liabilities

All segment assets and liabilities have been allocated to the various segments on the basis of specific identification. Segment assets consist principally of fixed assets, capital work in progress, inventories, trade receivables, other financial and non-financials assets and loans. Segment assets do not include unallocated corporate assets, investments, advance tax and other assets not specifically identifiable with any segment.

Segment liabilities include all operating liabilities and consist principally of trade payables and accrued liabilities. Segment liabilities do not include borrowings and those related to income taxes.

ii) Segment revenue and expenses

Segment revenue and expenses are directly attributable to the segment and have been allocated to various segments on the basis of specific identification. Segment revenue does not include interest income and other income in respect of non-segmental activities. Segment expenses do not include depreciation on unallocated corporate fixed assets, interest expense, tax expense and other expenses in respect of non-segmental activities.

iii) Inter segment sales

Inter-segment sales are accounted for at cost and are eliminated in consolidation.

o. Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

p. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing:

  • t UIFOFUQSPëUBUUSJCVUBCMFUPFRVJUZTIBSFIPMEFSTPGUIF\$PNQBOZ
  • t CZUIFXFJHIUFEBWFSBHFOVNCFSPGFRVJUZTIBSFTPVUTUBOEJOHEVSJOHUIFëOBODJBMZFBS

q. Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

r. Finance expense

Finance expenses comprises of interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest cost) incurred in connection with the borrowings of funds. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method.

s. Government grant

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

t. Research and development expenses

Expenditure on research is expensed off under the respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.

Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete the development and right to use the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development are depreciated in accordance with the Company's policy as stated above.

Materials identified for use in research and development process are carried as inventories and charged to the statement of profit or loss on consumption of such materials for research and development activities.

u. Foreign currency transactions and translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The resulting difference is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in statement of profit or loss.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts to hedge its risk associated foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivatives are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to statement of profit or loss.

v. Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR, the functional currency of the Company, at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into INR at the exchange rates at the dates of the transaction or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

In accordance with Ind AS 101, the Company has elected to deem foreign currency translation differences that arose prior to the date of transition to Ind AS, i.e. April 1, 2016, in respect of all foreign operations to be nil at the date of transition. From April 1, 2016 onwards, such exchange differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity (as exchange differences on translating the financial statements of a foreign operation).

w. Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA"), through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified following changes effective from accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2019.

Ind AS 116, Leases

Ind AS l16 sets out principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements as per Ind AS 17. This new standard provides two approaches to transition:

Full retrospective approach- Under this approach, the lessee applies the new standard retrospectively to each prior period presented and recognised an adjustment in equity at the beginning of the earliest period presented in accordance with Ind AS -8.

Modified retrospective approach- Under this approach, the lessee applies the new standard from the beginning of the current period and recognised an adjustment in equity at the beginning of the current and does not restate its prior financial information.

The effective date for adoption of this standard is annual period beginning on or after 1 April 2019. The Company will adopt this standard using modified retrospective approach effective 1 April 2019 for transition to IND AS 116 and will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at l April 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

The Company plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply Ind AS 116 to all contracts entered into before 1 April 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with Ind AS 17.

The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its Financial Statements but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 116 on the Financial Statements in the period of initial application is not reasonably estimable as at present.

Ind AS 19 – Employee Benefits

The amendments to Ind AS 19, clarify that if a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the re-measurement are determined using the assumptions used for the re-measurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on its Financial Statements.

"Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments", to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes

The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The Company does not expect any impact from this pronouncement. It is relevant to note that the amendment does not amend situations where the entity pays a tax on dividend which is effectively a portion of dividends paid to taxation authorities on behalf of shareholders. Such amount paid or payable to taxation authorities continues to be charged to equity as part of dividend, in accordance with Ind AS 12.

The aforesaid Scheme was subject to approval from the concerned regulatory authorities which were not perfunctory and considered to be substantive. However, keeping in view of the ongoing observations of the Stock Exchanges/SEBI on the aforesaid Composite Scheme in the current form and the resultant delays in obtaining "no objection" from Stock Exchanges/SEBI, the Board of Directors of the Company in its Meeting held on February 11, 2019 have decided to withdraw the Scheme and the necessary intimations have been sent to Stock Exchanges/SEBI informing them about the decision of the Board to withdraw this Composite Scheme.

46. Operating segments

A. Basis for segmentation

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

In accordance with Ind AS 108 'Segment Reporting' as specified in section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rule, 2014, the Company has identified four reportable segments, as described below, which are the Company's strategic business units. These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews internal management reports on a periodic basis.

The following summary describes the operations in each of the Company's reportable segments:

Reportable segments Operations
Textiles Yarn manufacturing
IT services IT Infrastructure services
Real estate Development at the Company's real estate site at Bara Hindu Rao / Kishan Ganj, Delhi
Grey iron casting Grey iron casting manufacturing

B. Information about operating segments

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit (before tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the company. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

vii) Description of Risk Exposures

Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Company is exposed to various risks as follow-

  • a. Interest risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
  • b. Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
  • c. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

b. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • t Credit risk ;
  • t Liquidity risk ; and

t Market risk

Risk management framework

The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The board of directors have authorized senior management to establish the processes, who ensures that executive management controls risks through the mechanism of properly defined framework.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risks limits and controls, to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies 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.

(i) Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risks is represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in the balance sheet

(Rupees in lacs)
Particulars As at
March 31, 2019
As at
March 31, 2018
Investments 3,356.10 3,347.60
Trade receivables (net of allowances for doubtful receivables) 9,823.05 11,840.89

Balances other than cash and cash equivalents 246.96 464.04
Loans 1,079.40 1,012.72
Other financial assets 332.54 903.99

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 maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are generally unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India and China. The Company continuously monitors the economic environment in which it operates. The Company manages its Credit risk through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

The average credit period on sales of goods and services (other than moulds) within India is 30 to 60 days, sale of moulds is 180 days and sales of goods and services outside India is 30 to 90 days.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows.

Majority of trade receivables are from customers, which are fragmented and are not concentrated to individual customers. Trade receivables are

generally realised within the credit period.

The Company's exposure to credit risk for trade receivables are as follows: (Rupees in lacs) Particulars Gross carrying amount As at March 31, 2019 As at March 31, 2018 Not due 2,906.62 4,343.23 1-90 days past due 477.92 732.27 91 to 180 days past due 29.77 84.55 More than 180 days past due # 186.90 264.11 Other receivables having negligible credit risk 6,400.38 6,487.78 Total 10,001.59 11,911.94

The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are fallen due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

The Company believes that its liquidity position, anticipated future internally generated funds from operations, and its fully available, revolving undrawn credit facility will enable it to meet its future known obligations in the ordinary course of business. However, if a liquidity needs were to arise, the Company believes it would be able to approach and materialise new financing arrangements, unlocking of value of unencumbered assets, which should enable it to meet its ongoing capital, operating, and other liquidity requirements. The Company will continue to consider various borrowing or leasing options to maximize liquidity and supplement cash requirements as necessary (refer Note 55).

The Company's liquidity management process as monitored by management, includes the following:

  • Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met.

  • Maintaining rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows.

  • Maintaining diversified credit lines.

I. Financing arrangements

iii. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the functional currency and other currencies from the Company's operating, investing and financing activities.

Exposure to currency risk

The summary of quantitative data about the Company's exposure to currency risk, as expressed in Indian Rupees, as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are as below: (Rupees in lacs)

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against below currencies at March 31, 2019 (previous year ended as on March 31, 2018) would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in functional currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is performed on foreign currency denominated monetary financial assets and financial liabilities outstanding as at the year end. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. (Rupees in lacs)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company's interest rate risk arises majorly from the term loans from banks carrying floating rate of interest. These obligations exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposure of the Company's borrowing to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows: (Rupees in lacs)

54. Capital management

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the management of the Company's capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, raise new debt or issue new shares.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt to capital ratio, which is calculated as interest-bearing debts adjusted with available cash and bank balances divided by total capital (equity attributable to owners of the parent). (Rupees in lacs)

55. Subsequent to 31 March 2019 the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), vide its order dated 1 May 2019 has approved the demerger of the Textile Division with an appointed date of 1 April 2019. Consequently, the assets and liabilities of the Textile Division of the Company will be transferred with effect from the aforesaid appointed date. After demerger of the Textile Division with effect from 1 April 2019, the net worth of the Company will be substantially reduced and the current liabilities will exceed current assets by Rs. 6,739.35 Lacs as at the beginning of 1 April 2019. The Company is facing liquidity issues and there are delays in statutory dues and vendor payments and subsequent to the year end, the Company has defaulted on its scheduled repayment of loans and interest payments aggregating Rs. 749.22 lacs to a bank and a financial institution. Further, there are continued losses in one of the remaining businesses of the Company.

However, the management believes that the Company will be able to continue its operations on a going concern basis, by infusing liquidity in the system by exploring various alternate sources, and also focusing on the business strategy and future operating plans of the existing businesses including proposal of strategic partnership for "capital and technology", which would help sustain the business operations and its growth. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of DCM Limited (Holding Company)

Report on the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of DCM Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") and a jointly controlled entity, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements of such subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity, as were audited by the other auditors, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Paragraph, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and jointly controlled entity as at 31 March 2019, of its consolidated loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

Attention is invited to Note 56 (c), which inter-alia, explains that, during the year, Purearth Infrastructure Limited ("PIL"), the jointly controlled entity, has made a provision for estimated foreseeable losses amounting to Rs. 342.15 lacs (31 March 2018: Nil) towards bookings in one of its projects (Plaza 4) [share of the Group in this provision for estimated foreseeable losses of joint venture is Rs. 56.66 lacs (31 March 2018: Rs. Nil)]. As further explained in the aforesaid note, the estimate involves significant assumptions and judgement, and, hence, may undergo a change based on the further execution of the project, the effects of which, if any, would be accounted for as change in estimates in the year of change. The amount of provision, as above, pertains to bookings of earlier years. However, PIL had not provided for the foreseeable losses in its separate financial statements till 31 March 2018. Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 was modified accordingly. Our opinion on the current year's consolidated financial statements is also modified because of recognition of prior periods' cumulative effect in the current year's separate financial statements of PIL (the impact of which on the current year has not been ascertained) and also, because of the effect of this matter on the comparability of the current period's figures with the corresponding figure.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the Act. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to note 55 of the consolidated financial statements which indicates that pursuant to approval of demerger of the Textile Division with effect from 1 April 2019 by the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), vide its order dated 1 May 2019, the Holding Company's net worth will be substantially reduced and the current liabilities will exceed current assets by Rs. 6,739.35 lacs as at the beginning of 1 April 2019. The Holding Company is facing liquidity issues and there are certain delays in making the statutory dues and vendor payments and subsequent to the year end, the Holding Company has also defaulted on its scheduled repayment of loans and interest payments aggregating Rs. 749.22 lacs to a bank and a financial institution. Above financial position, post demerger, and the continuing losses in one of the remaining businesses of the Holding Company indicate material uncertainty as to the Holding Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which would be dependent upon realization of the Holding Company's future plans as indicated in the note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its jointly controlled entity are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated 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 and of its jointly controlled entity are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its jointly controlled entity is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.

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:

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 (company and subsidiaries) as well as jointly controlled entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

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 Matters' in this audit report.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of the other auditors referred to in Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.

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

(Referred to in paragraph A (h) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Opinion

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of DCM Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company") and such companies incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 which are its subsidiary companies and its jointly controlled entity, as of that date.

In our opinion, the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India which are its subsidiary companies and its jointly controlled entity, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2019, based on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Company's management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on the criteria established by the respective Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. 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 the 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 Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act").

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. 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 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 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 the internal controls based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, 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 the other auditors of the relevant subsidiary companies and jointly controlled entity in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 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 the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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 controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other Matters

Our aforesaid reports 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 insofar as it relates to eight subsidiary companies and three subsidiaries of a jointly controlled entity, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1. Corporate information and basis of preparation and presentation

1.1. Corporate information

DCM Limited (the 'Company') is a public limited company incorporated in India in the name and style of Delhi Cloth & General Mills Co. Limited with a registered office at Vikrant Tower, 4, Rajendra Place, New Delhi, India (CIN number L74899DL1889PLC000004). The Company is listed on two stock exchanges in India namely National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. and BSE Ltd. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and special purpose entity (referred to collectively as the 'Group') and the Group's interest in joint ventures. The Group is primarily engaged in the business of Textiles, Grey iron casting, IT Infrastructure Service and Real Estate.

1.2. Basis of preparation and presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the 'Act') and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on August 12, 2019.

Details of the Group's accounting policies are included in Note 2.

a. Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.

b. Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items:

Items Measurement basis
Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) Fair value
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations
Other financial assets and liabilities Amortized cost

c. Use of estimates and judgements

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual result may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • Note 2 (c) consolidation: whether the group has de facto control over an investee
  • Note 2 (g) classification of financial assets: assessment of business model within which the assets are held and assessment of whether the contractual terms of the financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
  • Note 2 (m) leases: whether an arrangement contains a lease
  • Note 2 (m) lease classification

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending March 31, 2019 is included in the following notes:

  • Note 2 (j) measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions
  • Note 2 (d) measurement of useful lives and residual values to property, plant and equipment
  • Note 2 (e) measurement of useful lives of intangible assets
  • Note 2 (b) fair value measurement of financial instruments
  • Note 2 (k) recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of outflow of resources
  • Note 2 (n) recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which tax losses carried forward can be used
  • Note 2 (f) Valuation of inventory
  • Note 2 (g) and 2 (h) Estimated impairment of financial assets and non-financial assets

2. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Changes in significant accounting policies

The Group has initially applied Ind AS 115 from 1 April 2018.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Company in applying the above standard, comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of new standard.

There is no significant impact of transition from Ind AS 18 to Ind AS 115 in recognizing revenue by the Group.

Ind AS 115 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaced Ind AS 18 Revenue Recognition, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control - at a point in time or over time - requires judgment.

The Group has adopted Ind AS 115 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), with the effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application (i.e. l April 2018). Accordingly, the information presented for 2017-18 has not been restated - i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under lnd AS 18, Ind AS l l and related interpretations. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in Ind AS 115 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

The Group has also applied Appendix B "Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration" to Ind AS 21, "the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates" which does not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

a. Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

  • t *UJTFYQFDUFEUPCFSFBMJTFEJO
    PSJTJOUFOEFEGPSTBMFPSDPOTVNQUJPOJO
    UIF(SPVQTOPSNBMPQFSBUJOHDZDMF

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

  • t *UJTFYQFDUFEUPCFTFUUMFEJOUIF(SPVQTOPSNBMPQFSBUJOHDZDMF
  • t *UJTIFMEQSJNBSJMZGPSUIFQVSQPTFPGCFJOHUSBEFE

Current liabilities include the current portion of financial liabilities some part of which may be non-current. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Operating cycle

Based on the nature of products/ activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

b. Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes the corporate finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the board of directors.

The corporate finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company's audit committee.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

c. Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Holding Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Holding Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • x has power over the investee;
  • x is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • x has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • x the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
  • x potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
  • x rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
  • x any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company 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 Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

Equity Accounted investees

The Group's interests in equity accounted investees comprise interests in joint ventures.

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control and has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group;s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity-accounted investees until the date on which joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. The details of the companies included in the consolidation and the Parent Company's holding therein is as under:

d. Property, Plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment having significant cost have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains or losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the statement profit or loss.

All spare parts which are expected to be used for more than one accounting period are capitalised as property, plant and equipment.

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, net of impairment loss, if any. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition and location for their intended use, the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives.

  • (i) The Group follows straight-line method of depreciation in respect of buildings, plant and machinery, all assets of IT Division, all assets of Engineering Division and written down value method in respect of other assets.
  • (ii) The depreciation charged on all property, plant and equipment is on the basis of useful life specified in Part "C" of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 which represents useful lives of the assets.
  • (iii) On assets sold, discarded, etc., during the year, depreciation is provided up to the date of sale/discard.
  • (iv) Depreciation has been calculated on a pro-rata basis in respect of acquisition/installation during the year.
  • (v) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the balance of the primary lease period or the useful lives of assets, whichever is shorter.
  • (vi) Freehold land is not depreciated

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year, and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).

e. Intangible assets

Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets comprise computer software. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Amortisation

The management's estimates of the useful lives of the Software are 3-5 years.

Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

f. Inventories

  • (i) Stores, spares and components are valued at cost or under.
  • (ii) Raw materials, process stocks, finished goods and stock in trade are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
  • (iii) Land (for development) on conversion into inventory from fixed assets is valued at the lower of its historical cost and net realisable value, and includes appropriate share of land development expenses and finance cost of borrowed funds relatable thereto.

Cost of inventories, other than land (for development), is ascertained on the weighted average basis in textiles division and moving weighted average basis in engineering division. Further, in respect of the manufactured inventories, i.e., process stocks and finished goods, appropriate share of manufacturing expenses are included on absorption costing basis. Work in process relating to software contracts includes salary and other directly identifiable expenses incurred on fixed price contracts, till the completion of specified deliverables, and are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.

g. Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

(i) Financial assets

Trade receivables issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction 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 financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Classification and subsequent measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at

  • amortised cost;
  • FVTPL

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the

principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI-equity investment). The election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Impairment

The Group recognizes loss allowance using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-fortrading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derecognition

(i) Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

(ii) Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in statement of profit or loss.

h. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment loss recognised in respect of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the CGU (or group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

i. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale of it is highly probable that they recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any resultant loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss in allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefit assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's other accounting policies. Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.

j. Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. Employee benefit liabilities such as salaries, wages, casual leave allowance and bonus, etc. that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting year and are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Defined contribution plans

Provident Fund: A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts.

The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund and employee state insurance to Government administered fund which is a defined contribution plan. The Group's contribution is recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service and also includes contribution to national pension scheme and overseas social security contribution.

The Group makes specified monthly contribution towards superannuation fund to Superannuation Trust which is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India ("LIC").

Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's 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 Group has following defined benefit plans:

Gratuity: The Group's gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligation.

Remeasurements of the defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognized in OCI.

Other long-term employee benefits

Benefits under the Group's compensated absences are other long term employee benefits. The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

k. Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic benefits is remote.

l. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

However, sales tax/ value added tax (VAT)/ Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not received by the Group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognized.

i. Sale of goods

The Group recognized revenue when (or as) a performance obligation was satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods underlying the particular performance obligation were transferred to the customer.

Further, revenue from sale of goods is recognized based on a 5-Step Methodology which is as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

Unearned or deferred revenue is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues.

Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Group reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.

ii. Rendering of services

Revenue from sale of services is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition:

  • a) The Group's contracts with customers could include promises to transfer products to a customer. The Group assesses the products promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
  • b) Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Group allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
  • c) The Group uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in the contract.
  • d) The Group exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Group considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.

iii. Other income

  • a. Dividend income is recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss on the date on which the Group`s right to receive payment is established.
  • b. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
  • the gross carrying amount of the financial asset ; or
  • the amortised cost of the financial liability

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

m. Leases

i. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, it is determined whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement that contains a lease, the payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement are separated into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If it is concluded for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. The liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the incremental borrowing rate.

ii. Assets held under leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned assets.

Assets held under leases that do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (i.e. operating leases) are not recognised in the Group's Balance Sheet.

iii. Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

iv. Assets given on lease

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Group's expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

n. Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax expense is recognized in statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

i. Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.

ii. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognized for:

  • temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
  • taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Group recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets – unrecognized or recognized, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be real.

Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') expense under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as an asset when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, will flow to the Group and the asset can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement is set off to the extent allowed in the year in which the Group becomes liable to pay income taxes at the enacted tax rates. MAT credit entitlement is reviewed at each reporting date and is written down to reflect the amount that is reasonably certain to be set off in future years against the future income tax liability. MAT Credit Entitlement is presented as part of deferred tax in the balance sheet.

o. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

In accordance with Ind AS 108 – Operating Segments, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of internal reports used by the Company's Management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.

The Board of Directors is collectively the Company's 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' or 'CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108.

In addition to the significant accounting policies applicable to the segments as set out in note 2 of notes forming part of the financial statement, the accounting policies in relation to segment accounting are as under :-

i) Segment assets and liabilities:

All segment assets and liabilities have been allocated to the various segments on the basis of specific identification. Segment assets consist principally of fixed assets, capital work in progress, inventories, trade receivables, other financial and non-financials assets and loans. Segment assets do not include unallocated corporate assets, investments, advance tax and other assets not specifically identifiable with any segment.

Segment liabilities include all operating liabilities and consist principally of trade payables and accrued liabilities. Segment liabilities do not include borrowings and those related to income taxes.

ii) Segment revenue and expenses:

Segment revenue and expenses are directly attributable to the segment and have been allocated to various segments on the basis of specific identification. Segment revenue does not include interest income and other income in respect of non-segmental activities. Segment expenses do not include depreciation on unallocated corporate fixed assets, interest expense, tax expense and other expenses in respect of non-segmental activities.

iii) Inter segment sales:

Inter-segment sales are accounted for at cost and are eliminated in consolidation.

p. Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

q. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing:

  • t UIFOFUQSPëUBUUSJCVUBCMFUPFRVJUZTIBSFIPMEFSTPGUIF\$PNQBOZ
  • t CZUIFXFJHIUFEBWFSBHFOVNCFSPGFRVJUZTIBSFTPVUTUBOEJOHEVSJOHUIFëOBODJBMZFBS

r. Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

s. Finance expense

Finance expenses comprises of interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest cost) incurred in connection with the borrowings of funds. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method.

t. Government grant

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

u. Research and development expenses

Expenditure on research is expensed off under the respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.

Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development and right to use the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development are depreciated in accordance with the Group's policy as stated above.

Materials identified for use in research and development process are carried as inventories and charged to the statement of profit or loss on consumption of such materials for research and development activities.

v. Foreign currency transactions and translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The resulting difference is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in statement of profit or loss.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts to hedge its risk associated foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivatives are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to statement of profit or loss.

w. Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR, the functional currency of the Company, at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into INR at the exchange rates at the dates of the transaction or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

In accordance with Ind AS 101, the Group has elected to deem foreign currency translation differences that arose prior to the date of transition to Ind AS, i.e. April 1, 2016, in respect of all foreign operations to be nil at the date of transition. From April 1, 2016 onwards, such exchange differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity (as exchange differences on translating the financial statements of a foreign operation).

x. Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA"), through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified following changes effective from accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2019.

Ind AS 116, Leases

Ind AS l16 sets out principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements as per Ind AS 17. This new standard provides two approaches to transition:

Full retrospective approach- Under this approach, the lessee applies the new standard retrospectively to each prior period presented and recognised an adjustment in equity at the beginning of the earliest period presented in accordance with Ind AS -8.

Modified retrospective approach- Under this approach, the lessee applies the new standard from the beginning of the current period and recognised an adjustment in equity at the beginning of the current and does not restate its prior financial information.

The effective date for adoption of this standard is annual period beginning on or after 1 April 2019. The Group will adopt this standard using modified retrospective approach effective 1 April 2019 for transition to IND AS 116 and will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at l April 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

The Group plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply Ind AS 116 to all contracts entered into before 1 April 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with Ind AS 17.

The Group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 116 on the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period of initial application is not reasonably estimable as at present.

Ind AS 19 – Employee Benefits

The amendments to Ind AS 19, clarify that if a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the re-measurement are determined using the assumptions used for the re-measurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The Group does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

"Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments", to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes

The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The Group does not expect any impact from this pronouncement. It is relevant to note that the amendment does not amend situations where the entity pays a tax on dividend which is effectively a portion of dividends paid to taxation authorities on behalf of shareholders. Such amount paid or payable to taxation authorities continues to be charged to equity as part of dividend, in accordance with Ind AS 12.

A. Basis for segmentation

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

In accordance with Ind AS 108 'Segment Reporting' as specified in section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rule, 2014, the Group has identified five reportable segments, as described below, which are the Company's strategic business units. These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews internal management reports on a periodic basis.

The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments:

Reportable segments Operations
Textiles Yarn manufacturing
IT services IT Infrastructure services
Real estate Development at the Group's real estate site at Bara Hindu Rao / Kishan Ganj, Delhi.
Grey iron casting Grey iron casting manufacturing
Others Others

B. Information about operating segments

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit (before tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the holding company. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below.

(Rupees in lacs)
Particulars As as March 31, 2019 As at March 31, 2018
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Discount rate (1%) (123.42) 133.06 (121.13) 121.20
Future salary growth (1%) 134.36 (125.67) 130.37 (123.29)

Although the analysis does not take into account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does not provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.

vi) Maturity profile

The table below shows the expected cash flow profile of the benefits to be paid to the current membership of the plan based on past service of the employees as at the valuation date:

vii) Description of Risk Exposures:

Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Company is exposed to various risks as follow-

  • a. Interest risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
  • b. Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
  • c. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

b. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • t Credit risk ;
  • t Liquidity risk ; and
  • t Market risk

Risk management framework

The Group's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The board of directors have authorized senior management to establish the processes, who ensures that executive management controls risks through the mechanism of properly defined framework.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risks limits and controls, to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies 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.

(i) Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risks is represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in the balance sheet

(Rupees in lacs)
Particulars As at

Balances other than cash and cash equivalents 254.20 494.71
Loans 1,079.40 1,012.72
Other financial assets 332.54 904.80

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 maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are generally unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India and China. The Group continuously monitors the economic environment in which it operates. The Group manages its Credit risk through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

The average credit period on sales of goods and services (other than moulds) within India is 30 to 60 days, sale of moulds is 180 days and sales of goods and services outside India is 30 to 90 days.

The Group has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows.

Majority of trade receivables are from customers, which are fragmented and are not concentrated to individual customers. Trade receivables are generally realised within the credit period.

(ii) 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 fallen due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group believes that its liquidity position, anticipated future internally generated funds from operations, and its fully available, revolving undrawn credit facility will enable it to meet its future known obligations in the ordinary course of business. However, if a liquidity needs were to arise, the Group believes it would be able to approach and materialise new financing arrangements, unlocking of value of unencumbered assets, which should enable it to meet its ongoing capital, operating, and other liquidity requirements. The Group will continue to consider various borrowing or leasing options to maximize liquidity and supplement cash requirements as necessary (refer note 55).

The Group's liquidity management process as monitored by management, includes the following:

  • Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met.

  • Maintaining rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows.

  • Maintaining diversified credit lines.

I. Financing arrangements

iii. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the functional currency and other currencies from the Group's operating, investing and financing activities.

Exposure to currency risk

The summary of quantitative data about the Group's exposure to currency risk, as expressed in Indian Rupees, as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are as below: (Rupees in lacs)

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against below currencies at March 31, 2019 (previous year ended as on March 31, 2018) would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in functional currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is performed on foreign currency denominated monetary financial assets and financial liabilities outstanding as at the year end. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. (Rupees in lacs)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Exposure to interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises majorly from the term loans from banks carrying floating rate of interest. These obligations exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposure of the Group's borrowing to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows: (Rupees in lacs)

54. Capital management

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the management of the Group's capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, raise new debt or issue new shares.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt to capital ratio, which is calculated as interest-bearing debts adjusted with available cash and bank balances divided by total capital (equity attributable to owners of the parent ).

55. Subsequent to 31 March 2019 the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), vide its order dated 1 May 2019 has approved the demerger of the Textile Division with an appointed date of 1 April 2019. Consequently, the assets and liabilities of the Textile Division of the Holding Company will be transferred with effect from the aforesaid appointed date. After demerger of the Textile Division with effect from 1 April 2019, the net worth of the Holding Company will be substantially reduced and the current liabilities will exceed current assets by Rs. 6,739.35 Lacs as at the beginning of 1 April 2019. The Holding Company is facing liquidity issues and subsequent to the year end, the Holding Company has defaulted on its scheduled repayment of loans and interest payments aggregating Rs. 749.22 lacs to a bank and a financial institution. In addition, there are losses in an existing business of the Holding Company.

However, the management believes that the Holding Company will be able to continue its operations on a going concern basis, by infusing liquidity in the system by exploring various alternate sources, and also focusing on the business strategy and future operating plans of the existing businesses including proposal of strategic partnership for "capital and technology", which would help sustain the business operations and its growth. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
