Directors’ Report
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors have pleasure in presenting this 135[th ] Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements (Standalone and Consolidated) for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
ECONOMIC SCENARIO
India’s economic performance in fiscal year 2024-25 demonstrated remarkable resilience and sustained growth, solidifying its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economy. The provisional estimate for real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for FY24-25 stood at a robust 6.5%, with a notable acceleration to 7.4% in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, surpassing initial expectations. (Source: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India)
Monetary and fiscal policies played a pivotal role in navigating global uncertainties and fostering domestic stability. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) implemented significant adjustments, including a cumulative 100 basis points (bps) reduction in the repo rate since February 2025. These adjustments signal a calibrated approach, providing necessary stimulus while indicating a potential pause in the rate cut cycle. On the fiscal front, consolidation efforts continued, with the central government’s Gross Fiscal Deficit (GFD) reducing to 4.7% of GDP in 2024-25 from 5.5% in the preceding year. (Source: RBI and the Government of India’s Ministry of Finance/Controller General of Accounts (CGA))
The economic path for FY25-26 appears promising, with India projected to sustain a real GDP growth rate of 6.5%. The Consumer Price Index inflation is targeted around 4.0% for the upcoming fiscal year. Despite this positive outlook, significant challenges persist, including ongoing global uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of trade protectionism. (Source: RBI and CGA)

The lockout was opposed by the workmen of said Engineering Division and presently the matter remains sub-judice before the labour authorities. Based on the legal advice received by the Company, the management is of the view that the present lockout is legal and justified. The said lockout of Engineering operations continues till date.
Further, due to payment of dues of creditors (including banks) of Engineering Division, Section II of the Composite Scheme of Arrangement approved by the Board on November 28, 2019 relating to restructuring of Engineering Business and outstanding loans and liabilities pertaining to Engineering Business Undertaking, had become infructuous.

Management Discussion and Analysis
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Industry Structure and Developments
The Indian automotive industry stands as a pillar of the manufacturing sector and provides employment to a large pool of people. Being the fourth-largest automotive market globally, the sector plays a vital role in India’s aspiration to become a USD 5 Trillion economy. Increasing urbanization, a large workingage population, rising incomes, and a strong impetus on infrastructure and construction sectors have been driving the industry’s growth over the years.
The industry produces major cast iron components for vehicles, including essential engine parts like cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, and gear housings. It also manufactures crucial braking system elements such as brake drums and housings, as well as components for the transmission system like clutch and flywheel housings.
The Indian foundry industry is a dynamic sector, currently comprising over 6,000 units. While a significant majority, estimated at around 90-95%, are classified as Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the remaining 5-10% consist of Medium and Large-Scale units. This structure reflects the industry’s widespread presence and its crucial role in regional economies. (Source: Foundry Informatics Center)
Opportunities and Outlook
Casting and forging are vital engineering segments supplying components to diverse industries like auto, railways, and defense. The Indian sector is wellpositioned for increased revenue from the automotive industry. This growth is significantly driven by extensive manufacturing unit expansion, through both organic and inorganic means.

*Due to continued situation of industrial unrest at the Engineering Division, the Company was forced to declare a lockout of its Engineering operations w.e.f. October 22, 2019, which remain continues as on date. As a result of said lockout, no production activities were carried out during the year.
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. Since 2016, the Division has faced a hostile environment in which production of good quality products in a cost-effective way could not be achieved due to the continued situation of labour unrest. In view of said situation of industrial unrest the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on October 21, 2019 had approved declaration of lockout at the Engineering Division w.e.f. October 22, 2019.
I nternal Controls
Despite promising opportunities, the industry faces critical challenges requiring immediate attention. A primary concern is the acute lack of resources for technological infrastructure upgrades. Furthermore, a significant dearth of readily available skilled manpower poses a substantial hurdle to advancement.
Electric vehicles (EVs), are impacting traditional casting units. The shift towards EVs favors light weighting and advanced casting techniques like giga casting, which can create larger, integrated parts, potentially reducing the need for numerous smaller castings. This transition is leading to a decrease in demand for certain casting methods used in traditional combustion engine vehicles, affecting smaller foundries that may not have the resources to adapt to the new technology. While EVs offer environmental benefits, the production of their components, including batteries, raises new environmental concerns.
Financial and Operational performance
The performance of the Engineering Division of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025 is as follows:
(Rs. in lacs)
| Sr. No. |
Particulars | Financial Year ended March 31, 2025 |

| 1. | Gross Sales inQuantity (MT)* | - | - |
| 2. | Gross Production(MT)* | - | - |
| 3. | Sales & other Income | 91.06 | 374.41 |
The Division has maintained 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. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control environment and monitors the implementation of audit recommendations, if any.
Industrial relations
In February 2016 after the wage settlement, certain disgruntled workmen started their nefarious activities. The workmen indulged in repeated instances of go slow, tool down, stoppage of work/ strikes besides violence and threatening/ beating the staff/supervisors. Due to continued situation of industrial unrest at the Engineering Division, the Company was forced to declare a lockout of its Engineering Operation w.e.f. October 22, 2019. The said lockout continued as on the date of close of Financial Year 2024-25.
Manpower Development
The Company’s Engineering Division was operating a training center called ‘gurukul’. However, the operations of the said training center were discontinued due to the lockout of Engineering Division w.e.f. October 22, 2019, on account of ongoing labour unrest. The said lockout continues till date.
The total number of people on the rolls of Engineering Division are 274 as on March 31, 2025.

Independent Auditor’s Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Members of DCM Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of DCM Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the standalone statement of profit and loss including other comprehensive income, standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “Standalone Financial Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the “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 March 31, 2025, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those 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 (ICAI) 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 on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern
We draw attention to note 36A and 36B of the Standalone Financial Statements highlighting that the Company has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with a party for development of its land situated at Hisar. The JDA is subject to fulfilment of certain terms and conditions by the said party as well as receipt of regulatory approvals. The JDA has become effective pursuant to compliance of certain terms and conditions in terms of said JDA.
The Director General, Town and Country Planning, Haryana has suspended the license for development of the said land taking a note that an enquiry has been initiated against the Company in respect of the Company’s land at Hisar. As per the said Order, the licensee is directed not to carry out any development work on the above-mentioned land at Hisar and also not to create any third party rights unless the said suspension is revoked. The Company is taking appropriate action in the matter for the revocation of said suspension Order.
Pending revocation of said suspension of license, the advance of Rs. 5,000.00 lakh received by the Company under the said JDA, has been shown under the current liabilities. Pursuant to above, the current liabilities of the Company including the said advance of Rs. 5,000.00 lakh received under JDA exceed the current assets by Rs 3922.70 lakh as at March 31, 2025. The management of the Company holds the view that the Company has merits in case and is confident to get favorable order in the said matter of revocation of suspension order.
The management believes that with the revocation of said suspension order of license and infusion of liquidity by focusing /managing of its real estate operation and/or the Company’s plans of restructuring of its Engineering Business Undertaking as well as other interim measures to improve liquidity, the Company will be able to continue its operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 46 of the Standalone Financial Statements, wherein during the earlier year in view of continued situation of industrial unrest, the Company has declared lockout at its engineering business undertaking. On the basis of legal advice, Management of the Company is of the view that the present lockout is legal and justified. Therefore, the Company has not made any provision for wages pertaining to the lockout period October 22, 2019, to March 31, 2025, aggregating to Rs. 7,439 lakhs. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. 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. For matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.

Auditor’s Report continued
Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s Annual Report particularly with respect to the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business responsibility report and Corporate Governance report, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors’ Report.
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.
When we read Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to communicate the matter to those charge with governance.
Responsibilities of Management 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 read with relevant Rules issued thereunder. 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 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, the 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 for the year ended March 31, 2025, and are therefore the key audit matters. We described 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.

Auditor’s Report continued
Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of DCM Limited on its Standalone Financial Statements dated May 27, 2025.
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”).
(Referred to in paragraph 2 (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 Standalone Financial Statements of DCM Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
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 Standalone Financial Statements criteria established by the respective 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 (ICAI) . These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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 Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 these Standalone Financial Statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements
A Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial controls with reference to Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to these Standalone Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to these Standalone Financial Statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal control with reference to Standalone 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 (ICAI).

Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
2. Material accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Standalone financial statements.
-
a. Current and non-current classifcation
-
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:
-
It is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
-
It is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
-
It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
-
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:
-
It is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
-
It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
-
The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
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.

Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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 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 of).
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.
D C M
60
Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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.
Classifcation 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) Ofsetting
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.
D C M 61
Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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-fnancial 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.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the financial statement.
i. Employee benefts
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.
Superannuation fund of the Company is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (“LIC”).
D C M
62
Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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 Goods and Services Tax (GST)/ sales tax/ value added tax (VAT) 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.
D C M 63
Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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. 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. 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.

m. 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.
n. 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.
o. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing:
-
the net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company
-
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
-
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
-
the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
p. 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.
q. Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31 March 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS – 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
- r. Standards notifed but not yet efected
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. MCA has notified amendments to Ind AS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates with effect from 1 April 2025.

43. 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 two 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 Real estate Development at the Company’s real estate site at Bara Hindu Rao / Kishan Ganj, Delhi and at Hisar, Haryana 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.

(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.
The 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. 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.
During the period of operation of engineering business before lockout dated October 22, 2019. 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. 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:
| Te Company’s exposure to credit risk for trade receivables are as follows: | (Rupees in lakh) | (Rupees in lakh) |
|---|---|---|
| Gross carrying amount | ||

| More than 180 dayspast due # | 9.65 | 13.52 |
| Other receivables havingnegligible credit risk | - | - |
| 9.65 | 13.52 |
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 behaviour 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’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.
I. Maturities of financial liabilities

ii. 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.
Company is not dealing in foreign currency then not exposure to foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
The Company’s investment in fixed deposits are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Further, there are no borrowing outstanding as on the balance sheet date, which has interest rate risk.
45. Capital management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. 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 Company). Since the Company does not have borrowing as on 31.03.2025 as well as 31.03.2024, the working of adjustable net debts to the total equity is not required to be given.
46. In view of the continued situation of industrial unrest at Engineering Business Undertaking (Refer as Engineering Division) of the Company, situated at Village Asron, District Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (Punjab), the management of the Engineering Division had recommended declaration of lockout. The Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on October 21, 2019 had accordingly approved the declaration of lockout at the Engineering Division w.e.f. October 22, 2019.
The lockout was opposed by the workmen of said Engineering Division before the Labour Authorities and presently the matter remains sub-judice before the labour authorities. Based on the legal advice received by the Company, the management is of the view that the present lockout is legal and justified. Therefore, the Company has not made any provision for wages pertaining to the lockout period i.e., October 22, 2019 to March 31, 2025 of the workmen dues aggregating to Rs. 7439 lakh (FY 2023-24 Rs.6776 lakh).

Independent Auditor’s Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Members of DCM Limited
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DCM Limited (the “Company” or “Holding Company”), and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries referred to as the “Group”) and its joint venture including its subsidiary companies (together referred to as “jointly controlled entities”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, 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 the material 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 the other auditors on separate financial statements of subsidiaries and its jointly controlled entities and information provided by the management referred to in the other matter section below, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Group and its jointly controlled entities as at March 31, 2025, and consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and jointly controlled entities in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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 and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in ‘Other Matter’ paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 37A and 37B of the Consolidated Financial Statements highlighting that the Holding Company has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with a party for development of its land situated at Hisar. The JDA is subject to fulfilment of certain terms and conditions by the said party as well as receipt of regulatory approvals. The JDA has become
effective pursuant to compliance of certain terms and conditions in terms of said JDA.
The Director General, Town and Country Planning, Haryana has suspended the license for development of the said land taking a note that an enquiry has been initiated against the Holding Company in respect of the Holding Company’s land at Hisar. As per the said Order, the licensee is directed not to carry out any development work on the above-mentioned land at Hisar and also not to create any third-party rights unless the said suspension is revoked. The Holding Company is taking appropriate action in the matter for the revocation of said suspension order.
Pending revocation of said suspension of license, the advance of Rs. 5,000.00 lakh received by the Holding Company under the said JDA, has been shown under the current liabilities. Pursuant to the above, the current liabilities of the Group and jointly controlled entities including the said advance of Rs. 5,000.00 lakhs received under JDA exceed the current assets by Rs 486.25 lakh as at March 31, 2025. The management of the Holding Company holds the view that the Company has merits in the case and is confident to get favorable order in the said matter of revocation of suspension order.
The management of the Holding Company believes that with the revocation of said suspension order of license and infusion of liquidity by focusing /managing of its real estate operation and/or the Holding Company’s plans of restructuring of its Engineering Business Undertaking as well as other interim measures to improve liquidity, the Holding Company will be able to continue its operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group and its jointly controlled entities has been prepared on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 47 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during the earlier year in view of continued situation of industrial unrest, Holding Company has declared lockout at its engineering business undertaking. On the basis of legal advice, Management of the Holding Company is of the view that the present lockout is legal and justified and therefore, the Holding Company has not made any provision for wages pertaining to the lockout period from October 22, 2019, to March 31, 2025, aggregating to Rs. 7,439 lakhs.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment and based on the consideration of the report of the other auditor on the separate financial statements, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.

|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2025, the Holding Company’s balance sheet includes property, plant and equipment amounting to Rs. 2,850.07 lakhs. Te Engineering Division of the Holding Company has continuous losses and accordingly, the management of the Company has assessed it for impairment of property plant and equipment of engineering division with a carrying value of Rs. 2362.92 lakh. We identifed assessing impairment of property, plant and equipment of Engineering Division as a key audit matter, considering it to be signifcant to the Company’s total assets, involving signifcant judgement and estimation in determining the recoverable amount. |
Our procedures in relation to management’s impairment assessment included, but not limited to, the following procedures: • testing the design and implementation of controls in place; • obtaining and reviewing management assessment whether there were any indicators of impairment of property, plant and equipment as at March 31, 2025; • obtaining valuation report in respect of land and plant & equipment carried out by external valuer; • assessing appropriateness of impairment assessment and methodologies used; • evaluating reasonableness of key assumptions used in the valuation; • assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated fnancial statements, in respect of the property, plant and equipment. |
Other Information
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors’ Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the Annual Report, If we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to communicate the matter to those charge with governance.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group and its jointly controlled entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its jointly controlled entities are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring 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.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its jointly controlled entities are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its jointly controlled entities 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 Group and its jointly controlled entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its jointly controlled entities are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its jointly controlled entities.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company, its subsidiary companies and its jointly controlled entities incorporated in India has adequate internal financial controls in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its jointly controlled entities to continue as a going concern.
D C M

Auditor’s Report continued
-
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 and its jointly controlled entities to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express as opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 Consolidated Financial Statements of the year ended March 31, 2025 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.

(Referred to in paragraph 2 (g) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Our reporting on the internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statement is not applicable in respect of one non-corporate subsidiary incorporated in india
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of DCM Limited as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025, we have audited the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting of DCM Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Company” or “Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) and its joint venture (including its subsidiary companies together referred to as “jointly controlled entities”) incorporated in India, for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its jointly controlled entities which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its jointly controlled entities 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 ( ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective companies policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group and its jointly controlled entities internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, and, both issued by the Institute of ICAI.

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 in term of their report referred to in the Other Matter paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial controls with Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Holding 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 Holding Company:
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Holding 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 Holding 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 Holding Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Holding Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
-
the size of the Holding Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
-
potential voting rights held by the Holding Company, other vote holders or other parties;
-
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
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 Holding 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 Holding Company gains control until the date when the Holding Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Holding Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Holding Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling 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:
| S. No | Name of the subsidiary/JV company | Nature of relation | Ownership in% either directly or through subsidiary* |

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 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 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 (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
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.
D C M 107
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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.
Classifcation 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) Ofsetting
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.
(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.
D C M
108
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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-fnancial 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 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 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.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the financial statement.
j. Employee benefts
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”).
D C M 109
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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.
D C M
110
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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 Group 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) Judgment 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 judgment 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 judgment 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 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
Policy applicable after April 1, 2019
The Group has adopted Ind AS 116 effective from April 1 2019 using modified retrospective approach. For the purpose of preparation of Consolidated Financial Information, management has evaluated the impact of change in accounting policies required due to adoption of lnd AS 116 for year ended March 31 2020.
The Group has used number of practical expedients when applying Ind AS 116: - Short-term leases, leases of low-value assets and single discount rate. The Group applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date. The Group’s leases mainly comprise land and buildings.
D C M 111
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
i. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified assets, the Group assesses whether: (i) the contact involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the assets.
ii. Assets held under leases
As a lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
iii. Lease liabilities
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed payments, including in substance fixed payments. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
iv. Short term leases and low value leases
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
v. 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.
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 Holding 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.
D C M
112
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
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 Group’s Management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.
The Board of Directors is collectively the Holding 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:
-
the net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Group
-
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
D C M 113
Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 continued
-
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
-
the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
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. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Group 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.
t. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR, the functional currency of the Group, 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).
u. Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31 March 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS – 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
v. Standards notifed but not yet efected
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. MCA has notified amendments to Ind AS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates with effect from 1 April 2025.

44. Operating segments
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 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 Group has identified four reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’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 IT services Real estate Grey iron casting Others |
Operations IT Infrastructure services Development of the Group’s real estate site. Grey iron casting manufacturing 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.

(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’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.

(ii) 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, 2025 and March 31, 2024 are as below:

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against below currencies at March 31, 2025 (previous year ended as on March 31, 2024) 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 is based on a change (depreciation / appreciation) of 1% and assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Group’s investment in fixed deposits are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Further, there are no borrowing outstanding as on the balance sheet date, which has interest rate risk.

46. 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 ).
