5. Relationship between the Companies involved in the present Scheme:
The Transferor Company is the wholly owned Subsidiary of the Transferee Company.
The salient features of the Scheme are set out hereunder:
- A. Rationale of the Scheme:
The Transferee Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing of sugar, ethanol and cogeneration of power at its units located at Mawana Sugar Works, Mawana, District Meerut, Uttar Pradesh and Nanglamal Sugar Complex, Nanglamal, District Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, whereas the Transferor Company is engaged in the business of trading of sugar under the brand name “Mawana”. As both the Companies are engaged in a similar line of businesses, in order to leverage the existing strength and capabilities of group entities engaged in similar businesses, it is proposed to amalgamate the Transferor Company with and into the Transferee Company.
Thus, the Amalgamation would, inter alia, have the following benefits:
-
(a) The consolidation of business would create synergies between the businesses of the Companies, thereby enabling pooling of financial, marketing, technical, distribution and other resources along with optimum utilization of resources.
-
(b) The Scheme would lead to efficient and economical cost management, cost savings, better alignment, coordination and streamlining of day-to-day operations of the units and will provide a larger and stronger base for potential future growth.
[18]
-
(c) The consolidation of business would result in simplification of the existing corporate structure and elimination of administrative duplications, consequently leading to rationalization of administrative expenses/services as well as reduction of multiple legal and regulatory compliances.
-
(d) The consolidation of business would allow for a streamlined decision-making process, help in better utilization of human resources and provide access to a larger and more diverse talent pool leading to improved expertise, skills and capabilities.
-
(e) The Scheme, as envisaged, is in the interest of the shareholders, creditors, employees and other stakeholders of each of the Companies by pursuing a focused business approach under a single entity, thereby resulting in overall maximization of value creation of all the stakeholders involved.
The respective board of directors of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company are of the opinion that the Scheme is not prejudicial to the shareholders, directors, key management personnel, creditors, lenders, employees and other stakeholders of the Companies.
-
B. The Appointed Date of the Scheme is 1[st] April, 2025 or such other subsequent date as the Hon’ble Tribunal (as defined in the Scheme) may direct.

-
E. All employees of the Transferor Company, who are in service on the Effective Date, shall become employees of the Transferee Company on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to them prior to the amalgamation and without any interruption in service.
-
F. The Scheme is conditional upon and subject to the approvals of the shareholders and creditors of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company, as may be directed by the Hon’ble NCLT, sanction by the Hon’ble NCLT, receipt of such other approvals as may be required under applicable laws, and filing of certified copies of the orders of the Hon’ble NCLT with the Registrar of Companies of relevant jurisdiction by both the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company.
-
G. Upon the Scheme becoming effective, the Transferor Company shall, without any further act or deed, stand dissolved without being wound up.
-
H. Since, the Transferor Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Transferee Company, accordingly, upon the Scheme becoming effective, all the equity shares as held by the Transferee Company in the equity share capital of the Transferor Company either by itself or through its nominees shall stand cancelled and extinguished.

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), as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 each 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 the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements.

| Our audit procedures included the following: - • We obtained and read the board minutes, the minutes of sub-committee of independent directors (who oversaw the sale process) along with periodic filings made to the stock exchanges • We read the share purchase agreement with the buyer. • We obtained and reviewed the terms of MOU with Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Punjab stipulating development of industrial estate on the land held by the subsidiaries by October 04, 2024 (extended period) and there was no further extension in place at the time of sale. • We obtained the sale process report of an external international property consultant expert who was mandated to run the sale process and performed enquiries with the management’s expert to gain understanding of the process followed to determine the fair value of shares of the subsidiaries. • We involved our tax experts to review the opinions obtained by the management from external experts on taxability and computation of capital gain, cost of acquisition and calculation of income tax on capital gain. During the year, the Company sold all the investments held in two subsidiaries, Siel Infrastructure and Estate Developers Private Limited (Siel IED) and Siel Industrial Estate Limited (Siel IE) for a consideration of Rs. 107.50 crore and recorded a net gain of Rs. 22.99 crore which has been disclosed as an exceptional item. The net assets of these subsidiaries primarily comprised of a land parcel. The sales consideration for the purposes of computation of income tax payable on the abovesaid transaction was determined at Rs. 266.34 crore based on prevailing stamp duty rate of land parcel. Further, the determination of cost of acquisition required detailed assessment of relevant provisions of Income -tax Act, 1961 since it considered intra-group transactions between the Company and these subsidiaries undertaken in earlier years. Considering the significance of the transaction and the complexities / judgements/ estimates involved as stated above, the sale of investments and consequential impact thereof has been considered a key audit matter. |

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 financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 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 financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)
ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MAWANA SUGARS LIMTED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Mawana Sugars 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 is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“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 Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s 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 (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to these Standalone Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

| Industrial Alcohol (Ethanol) | Nanglamal Sugar Complex, Uttar Pradesh |
The standalone financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on May 24, 2025.
2. Material accounting policies
The accounting policies, as set out below, have been consistently applied, by the Company, to all the years presented in the financial statements.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The separate financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the financial statement.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value-
-
Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments),
-
Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value,
-
Investment in other debt instruments (i.e. preference shares)
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas where estimates are significant to the standalone financial statements, or areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in note 2.3.
All the amounts included in the financial statements are reported in crore of Indian Rupees (‘Rupees’ or ‘Rs.’), except number of shares, face value of share, earning per share or wherever otherwise indicated.
New and amended standards
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2024, to amend the following Ind AS which are effective from April 01, 2024.
- (i) Insurance Contracts - Ind AS 117
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification dated August 12, 2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model, supplemented by:
-
A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
-
A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material impact on the Company’s separate financial statements as the Company has not entered any contracts in insurance contracts covered under Ind AS 117.
[111]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
- (ii) Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to Ind AS 116
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Apart from these, consequential amendments and editorials have been made to other Ind AS like Ind AS 1, Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107.
2.2 Summary of Material Accounting Policies
(i) Basis of classification of Current and non-current
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 non-current.
(ii) Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘functional currency’).
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.
(b) Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction when it first qualifies for recognition.
(c) Translation on reporting date
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.
(d) Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on translation or settlement of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
[112]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
-
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
-
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Company’s management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operation.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, and significant liabilities, if any.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The management, in conjunction with the Company’s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
(iv) Revenue from contracts with customer
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. The normal credit term is around 30 days upon delivery. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Revenue from sale of power is recognised on a basis as per the contract terms based on actual power sold for the year. The normal credit term is 7 to 60 days upon delivery.
In determining the transaction price for sale of goods, the Company considers the effect of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods and services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Contract balances
Contract assets
A contract asset is initially recognized for revenue earned from sale of goods because the receipt of consideration is conditional on successful completion when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. Upon delivery of goods and acceptance by the customer, the amount recognized as contract assets is reclassified to trade receivables.
Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Refer to accounting policies on impairment of financial assets in section (xx)(e) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
[113]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
Mawana Sugars Limited
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (xx)(a) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Cost to obtain a contract
The Company pays sales commission to agents for each contract that they obtain for sale of goods. The Company has elected to apply the optional practical expedient for costs to obtain a contract which allows the Company to immediately expense sales commission (included under other expenses) because the amortisation period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have used is one year or less.
(v) Government grant
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.
The Company receives interest subvention from the government on the loans which are availed at market rate of interest from the Banks. The interest subvention is netted off from the interest expenses.
For the outstanding loans received from the Government at the interest rate below the current market rates, is recognised at carrying value of previous GAAP as on date of transition on account of mandatory exemption available for the first time adoption under IndAS 01.
(vi) Taxes
Current Income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss is recognised outside profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. The Company shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses, if any. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
[114]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authorities.
Goods and Service tax (GST)/Sales/Value added taxes on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses:
When GST amount incurred on purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, the GST paid is recognised as part of cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense item, as applicable. Otherwise, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST paid. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
(vii) Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’)
On transition to Ind AS i.e. April 1, 2016, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment (PPE) recognized as at the transition date measured as per the Indian GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the PPE.
An item of PPE is recognised as an asset, if and only if, it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably.
PPE are initially recognised at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, including import duties and non- refundable purchase taxes, and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use Such cost includes borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance., Freehold land is carried at historical cost. When significant parts are required to be replaced at regular intervals, the Company recognises such parts as separate component of assets and depreciates separately based on their specific useful life. When an item of PPE is replaced, then its carrying amount is de-recognised and cost of the new item of PPE is recognised.
Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of PPE are capitalized at cost. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories. They are depreciated over the remaining useful life of related plant and equipment or useful life of insurance/capital/ critical spares, whichever is lower.
The expenditure those are incurred after the item of PPE has been put to use, such as repairs and maintenance, are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the period in which such costs are incurred. However, in situations where such expenditure can be measured reliably, and is probable that future economic benefits associated with it will flow to the Company, it is included in the asset’s carrying value or as a separate asset, as appropriate.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written down value basis using the rates as specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, as set out below:
| Assets | Useful life(Years) |
|---|---|
| Buildings(includingRoads) | 5-60 |
| Plant & Equipment | 10-40 |
| Office Equipment(includingData ProcessingEquipment) | 3-6 |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 10 |
| Motor Vehicles | 8 |
[115]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
The management has estimated the useful life of following assets is different from those indicated in Schedule II:
| Assets | Useful life(Years) |
|---|---|
| Building-Green house type shed of Bio-compostyard | 25 |
| Building-Polythene membrane | 5 |
| Components of certain plant and equipment | 3 to 15 |
The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of PPE are reviewed, and adjusted appropriately, at each reporting date. The effect of any change in the estimated useful lives, residual values and / or depreciation method are accounted for prospectively, and accordingly the depreciation is calculated over the PPE’s remaining revised useful life. The cost and the accumulated depreciation for PPE sold, scrapped, retired or otherwise disposed off are de-recognised from the balance sheet and the resulting gains / (losses) are included in the statement of profit and loss within other expenses / other income.
The cost of capital work-in-progress is presented separately in the balance sheet.
(viii) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a written down value basis over the estimated useful economic life. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on the straight-line method as per the useful life assessed based on expected future benefit, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset:
| Asper management estimate | |
|---|---|
| Software | 3 years |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
| Asper management estimate | |
|---|---|
| Brand | indefinite |
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss. when the asset is derecognised.
(ix) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available, and if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as a component of depreciation and amortisation expense.
[116]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited to the extent the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reverse is treated as a revaluation increase.
(x) Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term taken from related parties leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (ix) Impairment of non-financial assets.
ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments)
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The cost and the accumulated depreciation for Right of use assts where the lease gets matured or disposed off before maturity are de-recognised from the balance sheet and the resulting gains / (losses) are included in the statement of profit and loss within other expenses / other income. Lease liabilities and Right-of-use assets have been presented as a separate line in the balance sheet. Lease payments have been classified as cash used in financing activities.
iii) Short-term leases except leases taken from related parties and leases of low-value assets
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases except leases taken from related parties of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. In case of lease contracts with related parties, there exist economic incentive for the Company to continue using the leased premises for a period longer than the 11 months and considering the contract is with the related parties, it does not foresee non-renewal of the lease term for future periods, thus basis the substance and economics of the arrangements, management believes that under Ind AS 116, the lease terms in the arrangements with related parties have been determined considering the period for which management has an economic incentive to use the leased asset (i.e. reasonable certain to use the asset for the said period of economic incentive). Such assessment of incremental period is based on management assessment of various factors including the remaining useful life of the asset as on the date of transition. The management has assessed period of arrangements with related parties as 2 years. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease.

NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, i.e., asset given on lease, and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
(xi) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The Cost is determined as follows:
-
(a) Stores and spares, Packing Materials, Raw Materials and Stock in trade: Moving weighted average method
-
(b) Work-in-progress: Material cost on weighted average method and appropriate manufacturing overheads is included on absorption costing basis.
-
(c) Finished goods (manufactured/produced): Material cost on weighted average method and appropriate manufacturing overheads is included on absorption costing.
-
(d) (i) By products (Bagasse,” C” Heavy Molasses and Pressmud) included under raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress: Net realisable Value.
-
(ii) By products (B Heavy molasses) included under finished goods and work in progress, whose cost is not identifiable, are valued by allocating the costs between the products on the relative sales value of each product at the completion of the production, considering it as a rational and consistent basis.
Materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost includes the necessary cost incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition necessary for use.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(xii) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
(xiii) Non-Current Asset held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale/ distribution to owners if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale/ distribution rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale/ distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale/ distribution will be made or that the decision to sell/ distribute will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale/ distribution expected within one year from the date of classification.
For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale/ distribution classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale/ distribution in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales/ distribution of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale/ distribution is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale/ distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:
-
The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),
-
An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),
-
The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
-
The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and
[118]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
-
Non-current assets held for sale/for distribution to owners and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell/distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale/ distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale/ distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.
(xiv) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Borrowing costs include interest and amortization of ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowing.
(xv) Contingent assets and liabilities
A contingent liability is a
-
(a) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because
-
it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or
-
the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence and other required disclosures in notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise.
(xvi) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of the equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(xvii) Employee benefits
The Company’s employee benefits mainly include wages, salaries, bonuses, contribution to plans, defined benefit plans, compensated absences and share-based payments. The employee benefits are recognised in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the Company employees.
(a) Defined contribution plans
The Company’s contribution to provident fund, pension scheme, employee state insurance corporation, etc. are considered as defined contribution plans and are recognised in profit or loss as and when the services are rendered by employees. The Company has no further obligations under these plans beyond its periodic contributions.
(b) Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. The said plan requires a lump-sum payment to eligible employees (meeting the required vesting service condition) at retirement or termination of employment, based on a pre-defined formula.
The obligation towards the said benefits is recognised in the balance sheet, at the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets (being the funded portion). The present value of the said obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using interest rates of government bonds.
[119]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
The interest income / (expense) are calculated by applying the above mentioned discount rate to the plan assets and defined benefit obligations liability. The net interest income / (expense) on the net defined benefit liability is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. However, the related re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognised directly in the other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The said re-measurements comprise of actuarial gains and losses (arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions), the return on plan assets (excluding interest). Remeasurements are not re-classified to the statement of profit and loss in any of the subsequent periods, however, included in retained earnings in the statement of change in equity and in the balance sheet.
(c) Compensated Absences Benefits
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. Compensated absences benefit comprises of encashment and availment of leave balances that were earned by the employees over the period of past employment. The Company provides for the liability towards the said benefit on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out annually as at the reporting date, using the projected-unit-credit method. The related re-measurements are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months as long term employee benefit for measurement purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet; to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as noncurrent liability.
(xviii)Research and Development
Revenue Expenditure on research and development is expensed out under respective heads of account in the year in which it is incurred.
Development expenditure is recognised as an asset at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefits.
(xix) Segment Reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company’s operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Company that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors (‘the Chief Operating Decision Maker’ as defined in IND AS 108 – Operating Segments). These have been identified taking into account nature of products and services, the differing risks and returns and the internal business reporting systems. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the locations of customers.
(xx) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All the financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
[120]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial instruments
i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order 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 outstanding.
ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair value through profit or loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries and Associates
Investment in Subsidiaries and Associates is carried at deemed cost in the separate financial statements.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when:
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
-
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
i) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortization.
ii) Borrowings
On initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IND AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of the financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
(d) Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and
[121]
NOTES TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
Mawana Sugars Limited
dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments
(e) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances 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. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit or loss.
(f) Reclassification
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
(g) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the standalone balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(xxi) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits and liquid fund investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(xxii) Dividend
The Company recognises a liability to make distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(xxiii)Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as prescribed under Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations. The cost of a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition-date fair values, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The Company measures non-controlling interest either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair values. Any goodwill arising from the business combination is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, amount of non-controlling interest, and the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net identifiable assets acquired. If the aggregate consideration is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in Capital Reserve, subject to reassessment.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interests method, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts, and no goodwill is recognized. The difference, if any, between the consideration paid and the net assets acquired is recorded in capital reserve.

(xxiv)Reciprocal tariff
The management considering the relevant events after the reporting date has evaluated the likely impact of prevailing uncertainty relating to imposition or enhancement of reciprocal tariffs and believes that there are no material impact on the financial statement of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025, however, the management will continue to monitor the situation from the perspective of potential impact of the operations of the Company.
2.3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
a) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
b) Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation method is used. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Company.
c) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
d) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 35.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
f) Useful life of Property, plant and equipment
The management estimates the useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment based on technical evaluation. These assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

There are no restrictions over the title of the Company’s intangible assets, nor are any intangible assets pledged as security for liabilities.
During the current year, the Company has acquired brand ‘MAWANA’, which includes all associated trademarks, related marks, and copyrights for a total consideration of Rs. 5.75 crore. The acquisition was made from a related party, based on an independent fair valuation carried out by a qualified external valuer. The acquisition has been completed and the ‘Assignment Deed’ has been signed on December 31, 2024. The Company has paid stamp duty of Rs. 0.23 crore on the above said transaction.
The acquired brand is expected to contribute significantly to the Company’s operations, given its strong market recognition and association with quality in the relevant product segments. The management has evaluated the economic benefits and strategic relevance of the brand and has assessed that it has an indefinite useful life, owing to the following factors:
-
The brand is well-established and continues to enjoy a strong market presence.
-
There is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate net cash inflows.
-
The Company has the intention and ability to continue using the brand indefinitely.
In accordance with Ind AS 38 – Intangible Assets, the brand has not been amortized. Instead, it will be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The asset will continue to be reviewed regularly to confirm that the assessment of an indefinite useful life remains appropriate.
Impairment testing for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives has been carried out considering their recoverable amounts which, inter-alia, includes estimation of their value-in-use based on management projections.
Based on the above assessment, no impairment has been recognised during the year. Further, the Company has also performed sensitivity analysis around the base assumptions considered at the time of acquisition and has concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that would cause the carrying amount of the aforesaid assets to exceed their recoverable values.
The transaction was conducted at arm’s length and has been appropriately disclosed in the related party transactions note (Refer note 36).
5. Right-of-use assets
The Company has lease contracts for head office and corporate office used in its operations. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. The Company also has certain leases of assets with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the short-term leases recognition exemptions for these leases other than leases from related parties.

The management at the end of each reporting period, assesses Company’s ability to recognize deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation carried forward, taking into account forecasts of future taxable profits and the law and jurisdiction of the taxable items and the assumptions on which these projections are based. Based on profits earned during the current year and previous years, future profitability projections, considering expected future market, economic conditions and tax laws, the managment is confident that there would be sufficient taxable profits in future which will enable the Company to utilize the above deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation.

c) Risk exposure
Actuarial Risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
Investment Risk
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/ regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
The major categories of plan assets of the fair value of the total plan assets are as follows:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
38 B. Fair Value Hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is insignificant to the fair value measurements as a whole. Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement are observable, either directly or indirectly.

39. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade payables, other payables, security deposits received, capital creditors and employee related payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalent that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is responsible to ensure that Company’s financial risk activities which are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market price. Market risk comprise of interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. However, as the Company does not have any outstanding floating rate interest bearing long term and short term debts at the balance sheet date. Therefore, a change in interest rates on the reporting date would neither affect profit or loss nor affect equity.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Company does not have any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would neither affect profit or loss not affect equity.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions primarily with respect to USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised asset and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Company imports certain materials which exposes it to foreign currency risk. The Company also exports finished goods which exposes it to foreign currency risk.
Commodity price risk
Sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realisations get adversely affected during downturn. Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affect profitability. The Company has mitigated this risk to some extent by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products. The Company focuses on being amongst the lowest cost producers in these businesses.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables, security deposits and others) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
(i) Trade receivables

40 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

48 Recovery Certificates (RC) were issued in the past by the Cane Commissioner for payment of Cane Dues, Society Commission, interest on delayed cane payments etc. for previous crushing seasons together with collection charges as per Rules.
The Company had paid all the cane dues to the farmers and challenged the levy of ‘collection charges’ before the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad by filing writ petitions for some of the years. Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad allowed the writ petitions for these years and quashed the demand of collection charges by the State Government. In view of the management, the legal position settled by High Court in this matter has attained finality and the State Government has not challenged it before any superior court.
However, the demand for collection charges for the years 2012-13 to 2015-16 amounting to Rs. 141.33 crore (Previous year Rs. 141.33 crore) are still pending. These demands are also liable to be quashed on the same ground as in the earlier years and Company has initiated necessary process in this regard with the relevant authorities and thus, potential liability is considered to be remote.
State Government’s waiver of interest on delayed cane payments by sugar mills has been involved in legal proceedings before Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad for sugar season 2012-13 to 2014-15 and a formal demand for payment of any interest for the said sugar seasons aforementioned, has not been raised. However, as good corporate governance and as an abundant caution, the Company has disclosed a contingent liability in respect of interest on delayed cane payment of Rs. 479.86 crores upto March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024 : Rs. 477.79 crore) under Note 32.B(b)(ii), (including a liability of Rs. 144.80 crore (March 31, 2024 : Rs. 144.80 crore) based on demand notice from Cane Commissioner of UP for the sugar season 2012-13 to 2014-15).
Consequent upon the directions of the Hon’ble High Court to the Cane Commissioner to decide afresh the matter on the delayed cane payments, Company and the sugar industry has represented to the Cane Commissioner for waiver, which is yet to be decided by Cane Commissioner. The Company is hopeful to get the waiver from State Government. Based on the legal review of the facts of this case, possibility of any further liability (including interest thereon) crystalizing is remote and hence, no provision is considered necessary.

The relative size of the inventory of sugar as at March 31, 2025 is significant to the financial statements and significant judgements are involved in determining: (i) cost of inventory which is based on factors such as cost of by-products credit which is based on its net realisable value, (ii) the net realizable value of closing inventory of sugar.

Mawana Sugars Limited
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associate 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 the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective companies and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for assessing the ability of their respective companies 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 or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of their respective companies.
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 Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associate to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associate 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 and its associate of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)
ANNEXURE “2” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MAWANA SUGARS LIMTED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Mawana Sugars Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding Company”) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) and its associate company, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its associate, 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 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 Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both, issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to these consolidated financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to these Consolidated financial statements
A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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 financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate
[171]
Mawana Sugars Limited
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Group and its associate company, which are companies incorporated in India, have, maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal financial control criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.
Holding Company, insofar as it relates to these subsidiary companies and an associate company, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such subsidiaries and associate incorporated in India.

The accounting policies, as set out below, have been consistently applied, by the Group, to all the years presented in the financial statements.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value-
-
Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments),
-
Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the management to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas where estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, or areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in note 2.4.
All the amounts included in the financial statements are reported in Crore of Indian Rupees (‘Rupees’ or ‘Rs.’), except number of shares, face value of share, earning per share or wherever otherwise indicated.
New and amended standards and interpretations
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2024, to amend the following Ind AS which are effective from April 01, 2024.
- (i) Insurance Contracts - Ind AS 117
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification dated 12 August 2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model, supplemented by:
-
A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
-
A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material impact on the Group’s separate financial statements as the Group has not entered any contracts in insurance contracts covered under Ind AS 117.

- (ii) Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to Ind AS 116
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Apart from these, consequential amendments and editorials have been made to other Ind AS like Ind AS 1, Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries and associate as at March 31, 2025. Control is achieved when the Group has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that Group member’s financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the Group’s accounting policies.
The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the Parent Company, i.e., year ended on 31 March.
Consolidation procedure:
-
(a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the Parent Company with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
-
(b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the Parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the Parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains about the accounting of goodwill.
-
(c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the Group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. However, the minority interest has been restricted to zero on the transition date i.e. April 01, 2016 using the exemption provided by the Ind AS 101 and the accumulated losses attributable to the minorities in excess of their equity on the transition date, in the absence of the contractual obligation on the minorities, the same has been accounted for by the Parent Company.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
- (d) An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Investment in Associates has been accounted for using the equity method. The excess of cost of investment over the proportionate share in equity of the Associate as at the date of acquisition of stake has been identified as Goodwill and included in the carrying value of the Investment in the Associate. Amortisation of that goodwill is not permitted. Similarly, the excess of proportionate share in equity of the associate over the cost of investment as at the date of acquisition of stake has been recognised directly in equity as Capital Reserve in the period in which the investment is acquired. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the share of net assets of the Associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. The statement of profit and loss includes the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Any change in OCI of the investee is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
If an entity’s share of losses of an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate (which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the entity discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the entity resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate is shown on the face of the statement of profit and loss.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of associate in line with those of the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate’ in the statement of profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
2.3 Summary of Material Accounting Policies
(i) Basis of classification of Current and non-current
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.
(ii) Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘functional currency’).
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group.
(b) Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction when it first qualifies for recognition.
(c) Translation on reporting date
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.
(d) Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on translation or settlement of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
-
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
-
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Group’s management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operation.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, and significant liabilities, if any.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The management, in conjunction with the Group’s external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
(iv) Revenue from contracts with customer
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. The normal credit term is around 30 days upon delivery. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Revenue from sale of power is recognised on a basis as per the contract terms based on actual power sold for the year. The normal credit term is 7 to 60 days upon delivery.
In determining the transaction price for sale of goods, the Group considers the effect of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
[181]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods and services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Contract balances
Contract assets
A contract asset is initially recognized for revenue earned from sale of goods because the receipt of consideration is conditional on successful completion when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. Upon delivery of goods and acceptance by the customer, the amount recognized as contract assets is reclassified to trade receivables.
Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Refer to accounting policies on impairment of financial assets in section (xx)(e) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (xx)(a) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Cost to obtain a contract
The Group pays sales commission to agents for each contract that they obtain for sale of goods. The Group has elected to apply the optional practical expedient for costs to obtain a contract which allows the Group to immediately expense sales commission (included under other expenses) because the amortisation period of the asset that the Group otherwise would have used is one year or less.
(v) Government grant
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.
The Parent Company receives interest subvention from the government on the loans which are availed at market rate of interest from the Banks. The interest subvention is netted off from the interest expenses.
For the outstanding loans received from the Government at the interest rate below the current market rates, is recognised at carrying value of previous GAAP as on date of transition on account of mandatory exemption available for the first time adoption under IndAS 01.
(vi) Taxes
Current Income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss is recognised outside profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically

evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. The group shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses, if any. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if an only if a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authorities.
Goods and Service tax (GST)/Sales/Value added taxes on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses:
When GST amount incurred on purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, the GST paid is recognised as part of cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense item, as applicable. Otherwise, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST paid. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
(vii) Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’)
On transition to Ind AS i.e. April 01, 2016, the Group had elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment (PPE) recognized as at the transition date measured as per the Indian GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the PPE.
An item of PPE is recognised as an asset, if and only if, it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably.
PPE are initially recognised at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Capital work in progress are stated at cost, net of impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, including import duties and non- refundable purchase taxes, and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use Such cost includes borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance., Freehold land is carried at historical cost. When significant parts are required to be replaced at regular intervals, the Group recognises such parts as separate component of assets and depreciates separately based on their specific useful life. When an item of PPE is replaced, then its carrying amount is de-recognised and cost of the new item of PPE is recognised.
Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of PPE are capitalized at cost. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories. They are depreciated over the remaining useful life of related plant and equipment or useful life of insurance/capital/ critical spares, whichever is lower.
The expenditure those are incurred after the item of PPE has been put to use, such as repairs and maintenance, are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the period in which such costs are incurred. However, in
[183]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
situations where such expenditure can be measured reliably, and is probable that future economic benefits associated with it will flow to the Group, it is included in the asset’s carrying value or as a separate asset, as appropriate.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written down value basis using the rates as specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, as set out below:
| Assets | Useful life(Years) |
|---|---|
| Buildings(includingRoads) | 5-60 |
| Plant & Equipment | 10-40 |
| Office Equipment(includingData ProcessingEquipment) | 3-6 |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 10 |
| Motor Vehicles | 8 |
The management has estimated the useful life of following assets is different from those indicated in Schedule II :
| Assets | Useful life(Years) |
|---|---|
| Building-Green house type shed of Bio-compostyard | 25 |
| Building-Polythene membrane | 5 |
| Components of certain plant and equipment | 3 to 15 |
The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of PPE are reviewed, and adjusted appropriately, at each reporting date. The effect of any change in the estimated useful lives, residual values and / or depreciation method are accounted for prospectively, and accordingly the depreciation is calculated over the PPE’s remaining revised useful life. The cost and the accumulated depreciation for PPE sold, scrapped, retired or otherwise disposed off are de-recognised from the balance sheet and the resulting gains / (losses) are included in the statement of profit and loss within other expenses / other income.
The cost of capital work-in-progress is presented separately in the balance sheet.
(viii) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a written down value basis over the estimated useful economic life. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets of infinite lives are amortised on the straight-line method as per the useful life assessed based on expected future benefit, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset:
| Asper management estimate | |
|---|---|
| Software | 3 years |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
| Asper management estimate | |
|---|---|
| Brand | indefinite |
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss. when the asset is derecognised.
[184]
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
(ix) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available, and if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as a component of depreciation and amortisation expense.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited to the extent the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reverse is treated as a revaluation increase.
(x) Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-ofuse assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (ix) Impairment of non-financial assets.
ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments)
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After
[185]
Mawana Sugars Limited
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
The cost and the accumulated depreciation for Right of use assts where the lease gets matured or disposed off before maturity are de-recognised from the balance sheet and the resulting gains / (losses) are included in the statement of profit and loss within other expenses / other income.
Lease liabilities and Right-of-use assets have been presented as a separate line in the balance sheet. Lease payments have been classified as cash used in financing activities.
iii) Short-term leases except leases taken from related parties and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases except leases taken from related parties of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. . In case of lease contracts with related parties, there exist economic incentive for the Group to continue using the leased premises for a period longer than the 11 months and considering the contract is with the related parties, it does not foresee non-renewal of the lease term for future periods, thus basis the substance and economics of the arrangements, management believes that under Ind AS 116, the lease terms in the arrangements with related parties have been determined considering the period for which management has an economic incentive to use the leased asset (i.e. reasonable certain to use the asset for the said period of economic incentive). Such assessment of incremental period is based on management assessment of various factors including the remaining useful life of the asset as on the date of transition. The management has assessed period of arrangements with related parties as 2 years. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease.
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, i.e., asset given on lease, and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
(xi) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The Cost is determined as follows:
-
(a) Stores and spares, Packing Materials, Raw Materials and Stock in trade except land: Moving weighted average method.
-
(b) Stock in trade being land: Valued at lower of cost or Net realizable value. Cost includes Cost of land, the related cost of acquisition, enhancement compensation awarded by courts at various levels, construction costs, borrowing costs incurred to get the properties ready for their intended use.
-
(c) Work-in-progress: Material cost on weighted average method and appropriate manufacturing overheads is included on absorption costing basis.
-
(d) Finished goods (manufactured/produced): Material cost on weighted average method and appropriate manufacturing overheads is included on absorption costing.
-
(e) (i) By products (Bagasse,“C” Heavy Molasses and Pressmud) included under raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress: Net realisable Value.

(ii) By products (“B” Heavy molasses) included under finished goods and work in progress, whose cost is not identifiable, are valued by allocating the costs between the products on the relative sales value of each product at the completion of the production, considering it as a rational and consistent basis.
Materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost includes the necessary cost incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition necessary for use.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(xii) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
[186]

==> picture [32 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
(xiii) Non-Current Asset held for sale:
The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale/ distribution to owners if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale/ distribution rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale/ distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale/ distribution will be made or that the decision to sell/ distribute will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale/ distribution expected within one year from the date of classification.
For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale/ distribution classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale/ distribution in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales/ distribution of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale/ distribution is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Group treats sale/ distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:
-
The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),
-
An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),
-
The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
-
The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and
-
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Non-current assets held for sale/for distribution to owners and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell/distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale/ distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale/ distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.
(xiv) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Borrowing costs include interest and amortization of ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowing.
(xv) Contingent assets and liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise.
(xvi) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of the equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Group and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(xvii) Employee benefits
The Group’s employee benefits mainly include wages, salaries, bonuses, contribution to plans, defined benefit plans, compensated absences and share-based payments. The employee benefits are recognised in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the Group employees.
[187]
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
Mawana Sugars Limited
(a) Defined contribution plans
The Group’s contribution to provident fund, pension scheme, employee state insurance corporation, etc. are considered as defined contribution plans and are recognised in profit or loss as and when the services are rendered by employees. The Group has no further obligations under these plans beyond its periodic contributions.
(b) Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. The said plan requires a lump-sum payment to eligible employees (meeting the required vesting service condition) at retirement or termination of employment, based on a pre-defined formula.
The obligation towards the said benefits is recognised in the balance sheet, at the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets (being the funded portion). The present value of the said obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using interest rates of government bonds.
The interest income / (expense) are calculated by applying the above mentioned discount rate to the plan assets and defined benefit obligations liability. The net interest income / (expense) on the net defined benefit liability is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. However, the related re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognised directly in the other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The said re-measurements comprise of actuarial gains and losses (arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions), the return on plan assets (excluding interest). Remeasurements are not re-classified to the statement of profit and loss in any of the subsequent periods, however, included in retained earnings in the statement of change in equity and in the balance sheet.
(c) Compensated Absences Benefits
The employees of the Group are entitled to compensated absences. Compensated absences benefit comprises of encashment and availment of leave balances that were earned by the employees over the period of past employment. The Group provides for the liability towards the said benefit on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out annually as at the reporting date, using the projected-unit-credit method. The related re-measurements are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months as long term employee benefit for measurement purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. The Group presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet; to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Group has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as noncurrent liability.
(xviii)Research and Development
Revenue Expenditure on research and development is expensed out under respective heads of account in the year in which it is incurred.
Development expenditure is recognised as an asset at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefits.
(xix) Segment Reporting
The Group identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Group’s operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Group that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors (‘the Chief Operating Decision Maker’ as defined in IND AS 108 – Operating Segments). These have been identified taking into account nature of products and services, the differing risks and returns and the internal business reporting systems. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the locations of customers.

(xx) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All the financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
Subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial instruments
i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order 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 outstanding.
ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
i) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortization.
ii) Borrowings
On initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Derecognition of financial instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IND AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of the financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
(d) Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
[189]
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 (Contd.)
Mawana Sugars Limited
For all other financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
(e) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances 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. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit or loss.
(f) Reclassification
The Group determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Group’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Group’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Group either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Group reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Group does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
(g) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(xxi) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits and liquid fund investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(xxii) Dividend
The Group recognises a liability to make distributions to equity holders of the Group when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Group. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(xxiii) Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as prescribed under Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations. The cost of a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition-date fair values, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The Group measures non-controlling interest either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair values. Any goodwill arising from the business combination is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, amount of non-controlling interest, and the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net identifiable assets acquired. If the aggregate consideration is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in Capital Reserve, subject to reassessment.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interests method, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts, and no goodwill is recognized. The difference, if any, between the consideration paid and the net assets acquired is recorded in capital reserve.

(xxiv)Reciprocal tariff
The management considering the relevant events after the reporting date has evaluated the likely impact of prevailing uncertainty relating to imposition or enhancement of reciprocal tariffs and believes that there are no material impact on the financial statement of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2025, however, the management will continue to monitor the situation from the perspective of potential impact of the operations of the Group.
2.4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
a) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Group, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
b) Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In determing fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation method is used. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cashinflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Group.
c) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
d) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 37.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
(f) Useful life of Property, plant and equipment
The management estimates the useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment based on technical evaluation. These assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

There are no restrictions over the title of the Group’s intangible assets, nor are any intangible assets pledged as security for liabilities.
- During the current year, the Parent Company has acquired brand ‘MAWANA’, which includes all associated trademarks, related marks, and copyrights for a total consideration of Rs. 5.75 crore. The acquisition was made from a related party, based on an independent fair valuation carried out by a qualified external valuer. The acquisition has been completed and the ‘Assignment Deed’ has been signed on December 31, 2024. The Parent Company has paid stamp duty of Rs. 0.23 crore on the above said transaction.
The acquired brand is expected to contribute significantly to the Parent Company’s operations, given its strong market recognition and association with quality in the relevant product segments. The management has evaluated the economic benefits and strategic relevance of the brand and has assessed that it has an indefinite useful life, owing to the following factors:
-
The brand is well-established and continues to enjoy a strong market presence.
-
There is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate net cash inflows.
-
The Parent Company has the intention and ability to continue using the brand indefinitely.
In accordance with Ind AS 38 – Intangible Assets, the brand has not been amortized. Instead, it will be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The asset will continue to be reviewed regularly to confirm that the assessment of an indefinite useful life remains appropriate.
Impairment testing for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives has been carried out considering their recoverable amounts which, inter-alia, includes estimation of their value-in-use based on management projections.
Based on the above assessment, no impairment has been recognised during the year. Further, the Parent Company has also performed sensitivity analysis around the base assumptions considered at the time of acquisition and has concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that would cause the carrying amount of the aforesaid assets to exceed their recoverable values.
The transaction was conducted at arm’s length and has been appropriately disclosed in the related party transactions note (Refer note 38).
5. Right-of-use assets
The Group has lease contracts for head office, corporate office and godowns used in its operations. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. The Group also has certain leases of assets with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemptions for these leases other than from related parties.

Nature and Purpose of Reserves
a. Securities Premium Reserve
Securities premium reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilized only for limited purposes such as issuance of bonus shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
b. Capital redemption reserve
Capital redemption reserve (CRR) is used to record the amount equal to the nominal value of equity shares buy back or redemption of preference shares. As per provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, CRR can be utilised only for paying up unissued shares of the Parent Company to be issued to members of the Parent Company as fully paid bonus shares.
c. Capital Reserve
Capital reserve includes :
-
a. Rs. 99.15 crore representing the extinguishment of the debts of erstwhile Mawana Sugars Limited (MSL), which got discharged pursuant to the surplus arising on sale of shares of Shivajimarg Properties Limited and,
-
b. Rs. 3.87 crore representing the extinguishment of preference share capital.
d. Storage fund for molasses account
As per Rule 3(1) of UP Sheera Niyantran Niyamawali,1974, Molasses Storage Fund is created from the sale price of molasses and shall be utilized for the purpose of construction, erection and repair & maintenance of adequate storage facility of Molasses. Also it may be spent on abatement measures for control of pollution and or any other bonafide development activities which the Controller of molasses considers necessary.
e. General reserve
Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
The management at the end of each reporting period, asseses Group’s ability to recognize deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation carried forward, taking into account forecasts of future taxable profits and the law and jurisdiction of the taxable items and the assumptions on which these projections are based. Based on profit earned during the current year and previous years, future profitability projections considering expected future market, economic conditions and tax laws, the management is confident that there would be sufficient taxable profits in future which will enable the Group to utilize the above deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation.

(iii) During an earlier year, the Parent Company had provided bank guarantees (BG) amounting to Rs. 7.20 crore to Tecumseh Products India Limited (TPIL), to whom it had sold the compressor business in an earlier year. These guarantees were issued to cover any loss, damage, claim, action, suit, etc., arising from various representations or breaches thereof, including contingent liabilities existing on or prior to March 31, 1997, which TPIL might eventually be liable to pay. These liabilities related to pending demands in respect of sales tax, central excise, and civil matters.
During the financial year 2023–24, cases related to central excise were decided in favour of TPIL by the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh, vide its order dated March 19, 2024. The court’s decision was based on a circular issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes (CBIT), which stated that no appeal shall be filed by the department in cases where the amount involved is less than Rs. 1.00 crore.

c) Risk exposure
Actuarial Risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption, then the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
Investment Risk
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company, there can be strain on the cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/ regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
The major categories of plan assets of the fair value of the total plan assets are as follows:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
40 B. Fair Value Hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is insignificant to the fair value measurements as a whole.
Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input which has a significant effect on fair value measurement is not based on observable market data.

41. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade payables, other payables, security deposits received, capital creditors and employee related payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalent that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group’s senior management is responsible to ensure that Group’s financial risk activities which are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market price. Market risk comprise of interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. However, as the Group does not have any outstanding floating rate interest bearing long term and short term debts at the balance sheet date. Therefore, a change in interest rates on the reporting date would neither affect profit or loss nor affect equity.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not have any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would neither affect profit or loss not affect equity.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions primarily with respect to USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised asset and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. The Group imports certain materials which exposes it to foreign currency risk.
Commodity price risk
Sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realisations get adversely affected during downturn. Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affect profitability. The Group has mitigated this risk to some extent by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products. The Group focuses on being amongst the lowest cost producers in these businesses.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables, security deposits and others) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
(i) Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed as per the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

41. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd.)
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed below. The Group does not hold collateral as security except for security deposites from custumers. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low on the basis of past default rates of its customers.
Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.

Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Group’s Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Group’s finance committee. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.

DDA leased out some portion of the surrendered land Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (‘DMRC’) for a commercial consideration. The Parent Company challenged the leasing of surrendered land to DMRC before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its Order dated March 25, 2010 directed that DDA, cannot use the surrendered land for any purpose other than the specified use and further directed that any consideration received for a commercial use of the surrendered land would entitle the Parent Company to get fifty percent (50%) of such consideration.
In terms of the above directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the Parent Company had received in earlier years a sum of Rs. 15.92 crore. Since there was delay in making payments, the Parent Company has demanded interest on delayed payments by filing suit in Delhi High Court which is pending.

-
(c) Pursuant to a favorable order received from Hon'ble High Court of Delhi against an ex-vendor in 2015 and its execution petition filed in 2021, the Parent Company has received an Arbitration Award of Rs. 2.20 crore during the year and included the same under "other income".

48 In view of Hon’ble Allahabad High Court order dated December 21, 2017 for stay on the retrospective operation of orders of UP State Government on reduction in rate of society commission pertaining to earlier years, the Parent Company had provided differential amount of Rs. 28.55 crore in the books of accounts during earlier years.

50 Recovery Certificates (RC) were issued in the past by the Cane Commissioner for payment of Cane Dues, Society Commission, interest on delayed cane payments etc. for previous crushing seasons together with collection charges as per Rules.
The Parent Company had paid all the cane dues to the farmers and challenged the levy of ‘collection charges’ before the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad by filing writ petitions for some of the years. Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad allowed the writ petitions for these years and quashed the demand of collection charges by the State Government. In view of the management, the legal position settled by High Court in this matter has attained finality and the State Government has not challenged it before any superior court.

However, the demand for collection charges for the years 2012-13 to 2015-16 amounting to Rs. 141.33 crore (Previous year Rs. 141.33 crore) are still pending. These demands are also liable to be quashed on the same ground as in the earlier years and Parent Company has initiated necessary process in this regard with the relevant authorities and thus, potential liability is considered to be remote.
State Government’s waiver of interest on delayed cane payments by sugar mills has been involved in legal proceedings before Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad for sugar season 2012-13 to 2014-15 and a formal demand for payment of any interest for the said sugar seasons aforementioned, has not been raised. However, as good corporate governance and as an abundant caution, the Parent Company has disclosed a contingent liability in respect of interest on delayed cane payment of Rs. 479.86 crore (March 31, 2024 : Rs. 477.79 crore) upto March 31, 2025 under Note 34(b)(ii), (including a liability of Rs. 144.80 crore (March 31, 2024 : Rs. 144.80 crore) based on demand notice from Cane Commissioner of UP for the sugar season 2012-13 to 2014-15).
Consequent upon the directions of the Hon’ble High Court to the Cane Commissioner to decide afresh the matter on the delayed cane payments, Parent Company and the sugar industry has represented to the Cane Commissioner for waiver, which is yet to be decided by Cane Commissioner. The Parent Company is hopeful to get the waiver from State Government. Based on the legal review of the facts of this case, possibility of any further liability (including interest thereon) crystalizing is remote and hence, no provision is considered necessary.
-
51 The Parent Company has been sanctioned working capital limits in excess of Rs. five crores in aggregate from a bank during the year on the basis of security of current assets of the Parent Company. The Parent Company has filed the quarterly returns/statements with such bank during the year which are in agreement with the books of accounts of the Parent Company.

52 The Parent Company sells sugar as per Sugar Sales Mechanism issued by Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution under which monthly sales quota is allocated to sugar mills in the country. As on March 31, 2025, the Group is carrying inventory of sugar of Rs. 720.23 crore (comprising finished goods Rs. 706.31 crore and work in progress Rs. 13.92 crore) (March 31, 2024 Rs. 743.45 crore (comprising finished goods Rs. 731.79 crore and work in progress Rs. 11.66 crore)) with valuation at lower of cost and net realizable value.
Future net realizable value shall be dependent upon the factors on minimum support price, monthly sale quota and sugar production in the Country. The Parent Company expects to realise the value at least to the extent stated in the accounts.
- 53 A committee of independent directors of the Parent Company in their meeting dated July 13, 2024 and thereafter on August 31, 2024 resolved to sell the equity and preference shares of its subsidiary companies namely SIEL Industrial Estate Limited (‘Siel IE’) and SIEL Infrastructure and Estate Developers Private Limited (‘Siel IED’), along with all their respective assets and liabilities, on “AS IS WHERE IS” basis subject to the completion of legal due diligence.

During the current year, MFPL has incurred loss of Rs. 0.11 crore and has accumulated losses of Rs. 41.64 crore as at March 31, 2025. Further, MFPL’s current assets exceed its current liabilities by Rs. 0.81 crore as at March 31, 2025.
The Parent Company has recorded a goodwill of Rs. 2.70 crore being the difference between the fair value of net assets acquired and consideration paid. The fair value of net assets acquired is determined by the Parent Company based on a valuation report obtained from an independent valuation expert.
In accordance with Ind AS 38, goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment. Impairment testing for goodwill has been carried out considering their recoverable amounts which, inter-alia, includes estimation of their value-in-use based on management projections.
Based on the above assessment including fair valuation and considering expected growth in the business of MFPL and corrective action taken by management to improve liquidity and profitability, the management is confident of MFPL’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future.
Accordingly, no impairment has been recognised during the year. Further, the Parent Company has also performed sensitivity analysis around the base assumptions considered at the time of acquisition and has concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that would cause the carrying amount of the aforesaid assets to exceed their recoverable values.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Unaudited Financial Information of the Company for the period ended 30 September 2025
To Board of Directors of Mawana Foods Private Limited
Introduction
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited financial information (‘the Statement’) of Mawana Foods Private Limited (‘the Company’) for the quarter and six-month period ended 30 September 2025, prepared by the Company’s management, pursuant to the requirements of circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (‘Listing Regulations’), solely to assist the management of the Mawana Sugars Limited, the Holding Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial results for the quarter and six-month period ended 30 September 2025 pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. The Statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management and has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review of the Statement, which has been prepared by the management in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (‘Ind AS 34’), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time, which is applicable to the Holding Company.
Scope of Review
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Unaudited Financial Information of the Company for the period ended 30 September 2025 (cont’d)
Conclusion
- Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34, prescribed under section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, which is applicable to the Holding Company as specified in paragraph 1 above, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
Emphasis of Matter
- We draw attention to the Note 4 to the accompanying financial results, which describes that the Board of Directors of the Company in its meeting held on 08 June 2025 has approved the amalgamation of the Company with Mawana Sugar Limited, the Holding Company on a going concern basis, wherein upon the scheme becoming effective, the Company shall stand dissolved without further process of winding up. The Company is currently in the process of obtaining regulatory approvals. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Restriction on distribution or use
- The Statement has been prepared by the Company’s Management solely to assist the management of the Holding Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial results for the quarter and six-month period ended 30 September 2025 pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time and therefore, it may not be suitable for other purpose. This review report is issued solely for the aforementioned purpose, and accordingly should not be used, referred to or distributed for any other purpose or to any other party without our prior written consent. Further, we do not accept or assume any liability or any duty of care for any other purpose for which or to any other person to whom this review report is shown or into whose hands it may come without our prior consent in writing.
