Management Discussion & Analysis Report


MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
India's real estate sector continues to be a key pillar of economic growth, contributing about 7–7.5% to national GDP in FY 2024, with projections indicating a rise to 13–15% by 2025–2030 (IBEF, Cushman & Wakefield). The sector has witnessed an 11-year high in housing sales, with premium and luxury homes forming a substantial share, thereby creating strong demand for high-quality tiles, marble, mosaics, and design-led surfaces. Urbanisation, infrastructure expansion, and premiumisation of housing have together fuelled demand for highquality surfaces—tiles, marble, and mosaics.
Against this backdrop, NITCO Limited undertook a strategic transformation under its "Transformation 2.0" roadmap. The Company strengthened its go-to-market strategies, inducted experienced leadership alongside new talent, and optimised business processes with technology-enabled systems. As a result, FY 2024–25 marked a pivotal year where the Company achieved break-even, expanded retail presence, and secured key account wins. "The Pioneer Returns." -Part 1 NITCO — back to redefine surfaces, just like we did before. Old name. New fire. Same mission to inspire.
Tiles, Marble & Mosaic Division:
This segment recorded encouraging growth, aided by innovative product launches, design-led differentiation, and strong traction in premium surfaces. The revival of designer mosaics and rising demand for sustainable and digitally enhanced tiles has created new opportunities for NITCO's comprehensive product portfolio.
Real Estate Division:
The Company successfully launched three premium residential projects in Mumbai and Pune, covering over 2.5 million sq. ft., and acquired prime land in MMR and Bengaluru for upcoming mixeduse luxury developments. Pre-bookings in the ultra-luxury category reinforced NITCO's positioning as a credible developer in India's premium housing ecosystem. Sustainability-focused design and collaborations with international architecture and hospitality firms further differentiated the Company's projects.

In 2023, India became the world's most populous country with 1.429 billion inhabitants. This year, it is poised to become the fourth-largest economy globally, and within two years may pose a serious challenge to Germany, which recently claimed third place after overtaking Japan.
According to International Monetary Fund forecasts, India is the most likely contender over the next decade to challenge the dominance of the two economic superpowers, the United States and China. Construction is without question one of the strongest sectors in the Indian economy, driven by massive public and private investments, technological innovations and large-scale infrastructure projects. By 2030, the sector is expected to account for 15% of the country's GDP and employ more than 70 million people.
According to Next Move Strategy Consulting, the Indian construction market was valued at US \$884.72 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach \$2,134.43 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% from 2024 to 2030.
Based on Global Data estimates, India ranks among the top five largest construction markets in the world alongside China, the USA, the UK and Indonesia.
Further insights into this sustained growth can be found in the Indian press, which highlights the construction sector's rapid expansion, primarily driven by government-backed initiatives focused on infrastructure development and urbanisation. Central to these efforts is the National Investment Pipeline (NIP), a government programme with a \$1.4 trillion investment budget for infrastructure projects and substantial allocations for renewable energy, roads and highways, urban infrastructure and railways.
The case for investing in India's construction sector is explained by the government portal Invest India, which estimates that 50% of India's population will live in urban areas by 2046 and notes that India already boasts the third-largest metro network in the world, transporting approximately 10 million passengers daily — two good reasons for the government to give a further boost to the urban construction market.
Real Estate Market expected to reach \$1 Trillion by 2030 - In parallel with construction, India's real estate market is also advancing rapidly. According to the report entitled Indian Real Estate: The Quantum Leap, a collaboration between the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) and Colliers, the sector is projected to grow significantly to reach \$1 trillion by 2030. Under an optimistic scenario, it could achieve a size of \$7-10 trillion by 2047. The report also predicts market consolidation across all real estate segments and anticipates expansion beyond metropolitan areas into smaller cities. The number of Indian cities with populations exceeding 1 million is expected to grow from around 60 to over 100 by 2050.
Opportunities and Threats:
Opportunities
The Company is well placed to benefit from favourable trends across its business segments:
- The global ceramic tiles market is expected to expand by ~USD 46.9 billion during 2024–2029 at a CAGR of ~7.9%, supported by rapid urbanisation and advanced designs such as 3D printing. The Indian tile market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1%, from USD 5.18 billion in 2023 to USD 9.54 billion by 2030.
- The global marble market is estimated at USD 22.97 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 28.8 billion by 2030, growing at 4.7% CAGR, with APAC leading demand. In India, reduced imports from Turkey create an opportunity for indigenous sourcing, while sustainability considerations enhance marble's premium appeal.
- Designer mosaics are gaining traction in luxury housing, spas, pools, and façades, supported by architects and interior designers seeking bespoke, high-value solutions. This niche is positioned for high-margin growth.
- In real estate, luxury and ultra-luxury housing (>`1.5 crore) accounted for ~42% of new launches in Q1 2025, with premium housing contributing ~27%. Rising affluence and demand for aspirational living in markets like Mumbai and Bengaluru support demand for premium surfaces and integrated real estate offerings.
Threats
At the same time, the business faces challenges that require careful management:
- Volatility in input costs, particularly clay, feldspar, and energy, coupled with tightening environmental regulations, can impact margins.
- The tile sector is intensely competitive and fragmented, with substitutes such as vinyl, wood, and laminates posing risks to market share.
- Marble remains a high-cost product vulnerable to substitution by lower-priced look-alikes, while regulatory compliance in mining and silica dust norms may increase costs.
- The mosaic segment, while high in design appeal, lacks scale and visibility and may remain niche without significant marketing investment.
- The luxury real estate market is cyclical and sensitive to interest rates, policy changes, and broader macroeconomic shocks, requiring prudent execution and strong differentiation.

Statutory Report
Strategic Moves by NITCO
- • Leverage premium tile growth by rolling out innovation-led products (digital-clad, eco-certified) and intensifying design partnerships.
- Capture marble opportunity by positioning Indian marble as a strong alternative to imports (especially Turkish), backed by traceability and quality assurance.
- Elevate mosaic presence through curated luxury collections, project-channel focus, and designer outreach to build aspirational cachet.
- • Align with luxury housing flows, offering end-to-end design-supported surface packages, and target metros & new project drops where developer intent is premium.

Managing Risks at Nitco
At NITCO, risk management is a continuous process of identifying, assessing, and evaluating risks and taking proactive measures to minimise or eradicate potential losses arising due to an exposure to particular risks. The consistent implementation of this framework is monitored through audits and reviews, resulting in an accurate understanding of the Company's competitive position. In doing so, the Company takes decisions that balance risks and rewards. Key risks include raw material cost volatility, regulatory approvals in real estate, and sensitivity of premium housing to macroeconomic cycles. The Company has instituted robust governance and risk management frameworks to mitigate these challenges.
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Perception Risk Inability to sustain historical growth rates could adversely impact brand perception. |
Owing to a dynamic and sustainable business plan, continual innovation towards a prudent sales-mix and improving operational efficiencies, the Company will be able to better its sales in absolute terms. |
| Business Slowdown Risk Indian economy could create a widening chasm between budgeted and actual ground realities. |
The Company has emerged as a one-stop shop fortile solutions, providing floor aswell as wall tiles and marble. Metros and urban cities are majorly hit by an economic deceleration while in recent times a majority of the demand for consumer products is emerging from Tier-II and Tier-III locations, which usually remains largely unaffected by economic slowdowns. Thus, as a precautionary measure, the Company strengthened its distribution network in new demand pockets |
| Competition Risk Increasing competition can have an impact on margins. |
Competition from the unorganised sector is expected to decline with rising consolidation, effected by organised players partnering with unbranded players (with low-cost manufacturing expertise) as a part of their cost-efficient expansion strategy. Nitco has developed relationships with several low cost manufacturers for outsourcing its product requirements |
| Technology or software obsolescence Risk Technology or software obsolescence may result in compromise of quality standards and losing out on the competitive advantage. |
The Company invested in SAP ERP module, scaling up its IT infrastructure across its sales, distribution and manufacturing divisions and upgraded it to SAP S4 HANA in the FY 2022- 23. Design technology will further be enhanced to further strengthen NITCO's aspirational brand position in the minds of the architect, builder, dealer and community in large. |
| Client Attrition Risk A substantial portion of the Company's total sales comes from retail clients and large key accounts. Hence, client attrition can impact both revenues and prospective growth |
Providing post-sale services to retail and key account customers and offering guidance programs for institutional customers have been an integral part of Company's initiatives to reinforce relationships. The Company also customises products to cater to specific requirements. Some of its brand-enhancing customers include Tata Group, Reliance Group, Prestige, Rahejas, Godrej, Oberoi Construction, DLF, L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji Group, among others. |
| Human Resource Risk Attrition of key executives and personnel could affect the Company's growth prospects |
Nitco has initiated various measures such as deploying strategic talent management system, training and integration of learning activities. Various HR initiatives were initiated to encourage staff towards enhancing productivity and building the spirit of team work. |
| Dealer attrition risk Dealers represent the Company's face to customers. Reduction in the number of dealers could affect sales and negate brand image. |
The Company has introduced a fast-moving range of tiles new product launches, which has revitalised its distribution network and also has adopted franchisee model to expand its network of distribution partners. |
Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy
The Company has in place adequate internal control systems, including internal financial controls, commensuratewith the nature and scale of its operations. The efficacyofthese controlsis continuouslymonitored and, whenever required, upgraded to meet evolving business needs. These internal control mechanisms ensure that the Company's assets are safeguarded, regulatory compliances are adhered to, and any pending issues are addressed in a timely manner.
The internal auditor periodically reviews the effectiveness of the internal control process and compliance framework on a quarterly basis, and their findings are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee in turn reviews these reports on a routine basis, takes note of the observations, and where necessary recommends corrective actions. The Committee also maintains a continuous dialogue with both statutory and internal auditors to ensure that the internal control systems remain effective and reliable.

3. Emphasis of Matter
i. Going Concern Assessment:
We draw attention to Note 38 b(iv) to the Standalone Financial Statement which states that in 2018, JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited ("JMFARC") had restructured Company's debt vide a Restructuring Agreement dated 27th March, 2018 Subsequently, the Company had committed default in ensuring the repayments of the restructuring facility. Hence, on 19th September, 2022 JMFARC revoked the restructuring of existing facilities (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) and the dues amounting to Rs. 2,42,762.93 Lakhs was reinstated, however in the books of accounts of the Company the loans were not reinstated as the Company was hopeful to get a revised resolution on the same. JMFARC had initiated proceedings with the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for recovery of the outstanding balance. JMFARC had also filed the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process(CIRP) against Corporate Guarantors namely Melisma finance and Trading Private Limited (Erstwhile named as Aurella Estate and Investments Private Limited), entity having significant influence over the Company, Nitco Realities Private Limited (Subsidiary) and Meghdoot Properties Private Limited, Feel Better Housing Private Limited, Maxwealth Properties Private Limited, Silver-Sky Real Estate Private Limited (4 step-down Subsidiaries). All the above petitions were at Preadmission/ not admitted stage. In April 2024, JMFARC assigned its rights and obligations concerning the Company's debt to Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited ("AIIL").
During the year, a memorandum of intent of settlement dated 24.09.2024 between the Company and AIIL has been filed with the Hon'ble NCLT. The Hon'ble NCLT has allowed the Company petition to be disposed of as having been withdrawn along with all the pending Interlocutory Application, if any.
On October 22, 2024, the Company and AIIL entered into a restructuring agreement and have agreed to restructure the reinstated outstanding debt obligations (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) which is Rs. 2,87,581.07 lakhs as of October 20, 2024, in the books of accounts the loans were not reinstated and the balance as at October 20, 2024 is Rs. 71,466.33 Lakhs. This restructuring involves revised repayment terms for sustainable debt, conversion of unsustainable debt into equity and additional financing commitments from the promoters and other investors (detailed below). The necessary approvals from shareholders were obtained by the Company vide EGM held on 15th November, 2024 and the in-principle approval from stock exchanges was also obtained in January 2025.
Key terms of the restructuring agreements are as follows:
a) Revised repayment terms forsustainable debt of Rs. 15,000.00 lakhs which was paid off from the fresh issue proceeds in the current year and conversion of part of unsustainable debt amounting to Rs. 1,03,781.25 lakhs of into 11,25,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share issued to AIIL.
NITCO LIMITED
- b) infusion by the existing promoter of an amount of Rs 3,228.75 Lakhs through fresh issue of 35,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share and infusion of an amount of Rs. 5,398.93 Lakhs (being 25% of warrant amount) through issue of 2,34,10,000 convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis.
- c) Raising an aggregate amount of Rs. 37,696.12 lakhs through fresh issue of equity shares to third party investors of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share on preferential allotment basis.
The aforementioned issue of equity shares & convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis is in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
Considering the above events, the Company has recognized a loss of Rs. 47,314.92 Lakhs as exceptional loss.
This loss, along with deterioration in the value of assets used to generate cash flows has lead the company to incur substantial operating losses in the current financial year.
These events or conditions have been mitigated by the following factors which represent significant progress in addressing the Company's financial challenges:
- Most of these losses are one-time losses due to one-time settlement and deterioration in the value of assets.
- Due to the one-time settlement, there is rescheduling of loan repayments and also the company has been successful in obtaining additional capital.

5. Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
6. Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
7. Auditor's Responsibility 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 judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion, The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- • Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the 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 Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 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.
Standalone Financials Statements
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NITCO Limited (the "Company") is a limited company, incorporated on 25th July, 1966 in India, whose shares are publicly traded. The company is one of the leading players in the tiles and marble business. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra and Silvassa and sells primarily in India through independent dealers/distributors and modern trade.
The RegisteredOffice is located at PlotNo. 3/A, RecondoCompound, Sudam KaluAhireMarg,Glaxo,WorliColony,Mumbai,Maharashtra, India, 400 030.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out in Para 2.3 below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
2.1 Statement of Compliance
These Separate Financial Statements (also known as Standalone Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with IND AS as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and subsequent amendments thereto.
2.2 Going Concern
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on going concern basis [Refer Note 38b (iv)]
2.3 Basis of preparation and compliance with Ind AS
- a. The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis following historical cost considering the applicable provisions of Companies Act, 2013, except for the following material item that has been measured at fair value as required by relevant IND AS. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
-
- Certain financial assets/liabilities measured at fair value [Refer Note 2.4 (i)] and
-
- Any otheritem as specifically stated in the accounting policy. (Refer Note 35)
The carrying value of all the items of property, plant and equipment, as of the date of transition is considered the deemed cost. Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance ofthe inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
-
- Level 1 input are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at the measurement date;
-
- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets/liabilities
The Financial Statement are presented in INR and all values are rounded off to Rupees lakhs unless otherwise stated. The Company reclassifies comparative amounts, unless impracticable.
The Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2025 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 02nd May 2025.
b. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out under Ind AS and in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of the services and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle for current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Use of Estimates
In the application of accounting policy which are described in note 2.4 below, the management is required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, contingent liabilities and the accompanying disclosures that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods ifthe revision affects both current and future period.
The few critical estimations and judgments made in applying accounting policies are:
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Intangible Assets are as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and on certain assets based on technical advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support. The Company reviews the useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation charge in future periods. [Refer Note 2.4 (a)]
Revisions to accounting estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment, Other Intangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect ofretirement benefit plans, fair value measurement etc. difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
For calculating the recoverable amount of non-financial assets, the Company is required to estimate the value-in-use of the asset or the Cash Generating Unit and the fair value less costs to disposal. For calculating value in use the Company is required to estimate the cash flows to be generated from using the asset. The fair value of an asset is estimated using a valuation technique where observable prices are not available. Further, the discount rate used in value in use calculations includes an estimate of risk assessment specific to the asset [Refer Note 2.4 (f)]
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company impairs financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss or designated at fair value through other comprehensive income on expected credit losses. The estimation of expected credit loss includes the estimation of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). Estimation of probability of default apart from involving trend analysis of past delinquency rates includes an estimation on forward looking information relating to not only the counterparty but also relating to the industry and the economy as a whole. The probability of default is estimated for the entire life of the contract by estimating the cash flows that are likely to be received in default scenario. The lifetime PD is reduced to 12 months PD based on an assessment of past history of default cases in 12 months. Further, the loss given default is calculated based on an estimate of the value of the security recoverable as on the reporting date. The exposure at default is the amount outstanding at the balance sheet date. (Refer Note 2.4 j (a) (iv)]
Defined Benefit Plans
The cost ofthe defined benefit plan and otherpostemployment benefits and the present value of such obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differfrom actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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. (Refer Note 35)
Leases
IND AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts. [Refer Note 2.4 (d)]
Allowance for credit losses on receivables
The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Company considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Company deals with and the countries where it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future.
2.4 Material accounting policies
IND AS 1 was amended vide notification no G.S.R.242(E) dated 31st March 2023 to require disclosure of Material Accounting Policy information from accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023 instead of significant accounting policy disclosure by amending paragraph 117, inserting paragraphs 117A to 117E and deleting paragraphs 118 to 121. Paragraph 117 of Ind AS 1 states Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis ofthose financial statements.
a. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment ('PPE') recognised as of the transition date, measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost of the PPE.
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses except for freehold land which is not depreciated.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when asset is derecognised.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on the economic useful lives of the assets. The useful lives have been determined based on the technical evaluation done by management. Further, the remaining useful life has also been revised
whenever appropriate based on the evaluation. Depreciation in addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro-rata to the period of use. The aggregate depreciation is provided as per the requirement of Part C of Schedule II to Companies Act 2013. Assets costing up to Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Depreciation on each part of an item of property, plant and equipment is provided using the Straight Line Method (SLM) based on the useful life of the asset as estimated by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except on some assets, where useful life has been taken based on external/internal technical evaluation as given below:
| Class of assets | Basis | Useful life/ rate of depreciation |
|---|---|---|
| Office equipment – mobile | SLM | 2 years |
| Motor vehicles | SLM | 4 years |
| Computer software | SLM | 5 years |
| Showroom Building (civil) | SLM | 10 years |
| Plant and machinery – Punch & Dies | SLM | 2 years |
| Other Plant and Machinery | SLM | 7, 10 and 18 years |
| Fit-out and other assets at sales outlets | SLM | 5 years |
| Roads | SLM | 30 and 60 years |
Capital work in progress includes construction stores including material in transit/equipment/services, etc. received at the site for use in the projects. All revenue expenses incurred during the construction period, which are exclusively attributable to the acquisition/construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised at the time of commissioning of such assets. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work in progress. Advances given towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are amortised throughout the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is lower. The useful lives, residual values of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate
b. Other Intangible Assets
Other Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. After initial recognition, other intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Software (not being an integral part of the related hardware) acquired for internal use are treated as other intangible assets.
An item of Other Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss arising from derecognition of an other intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount ofthe asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Amortisation Other Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a Straight-Line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The amortisation expense on otherintangible assetswith finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The amortisation period and method for an other other intangible asset are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Costs relating to computer software are capitalised and amortised on the straight-line method over their estimated useful economic life of six years.
c. Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted under the Employee Stock Option Plan is recognized as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in statement of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
d. Leases
The Company has applied IND AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach.
The Company as a lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land & buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period oftime in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rate specific to the Company. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the financial statements
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All otherleases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
e. Inventories
Inventories consisting of stores, spares, raw materials, packing material, finished goods, Work in progress, and trading material are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence if any. However, materials held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost, if the finished products are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
Finished goods and work-in-progress include all costs of purchases, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their presentlocation and condition. Cost ofwork-in-progress and finished goods includes material cost, labour cost and manufacturing overheads absorbed on based one normal capacity of production.
Inventory obsolescence is based on assessment of the future uses. Obsolete and slow-moving items are subjected to continuous technical monitoring and are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value.
f. Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets other than inventories and non-current assets held for sale are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher than assets or Cash-Generating Units (CGU) fair value fewer costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups 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. Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
g. Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of goods comprising of Tiles, Marble and Mosaic
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for turnover/product/prompt payment discounts to customer as specified in the contract with the customers. When the level of discount varies with increase in levels of revenue transactions, the Company recognises the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognised until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The Company recognises changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized, at a point in time when control is transferred to customer , as per the terms of the contracts and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount ofthe consideration thatwill be derived from the sale of goods. It excludes Goods and Services tax. It is measured at the amount of transaction price received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period oftime. The Company considers indicators such as howcustomer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Dividend Income is accounted for when the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
The sale of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered.
InterestIncome on financial assets measured at amortised costis recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method
Other income is accounted for on an accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on a receipt basis.
h. Foreign currency transactions
The Financial Statements of Company are presented in INR,which is also the functional currency. In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported at the exchange rate ruling on the date of transaction.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end exchange rates are generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as adjustments to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance cost. All otherforeign exchange gains and losses as presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising from the translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in linewith the recognition ofthe gain orloss on the change in fair value ofthe item (i.e., translation differences on itemswhose fair value gain orloss is recognized in OCI or statement of profit orloss are also recognized in OCI or Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively). Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates on dates of initial recognition.
i. 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of asset and liability if market participants would take those into consideration. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these Financial Statements is determined on such basis except for Inventories, Leases and value in use of non-financial assets. Normally at initial recognition, the transaction price is the best evidence of fair value.
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, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities forwhich fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized 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
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
j. 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. The Company recognises a financial asset or financial liability in its balance sheet onlywhen the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(a) Financial assets
A financial asset inter-alia includes any asset that is cash, equity instrument of another entity or contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial asset or financial liability under condition that are potentially favourable to the Company.
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through Profits or loss based on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics ofthe financial asset.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in equity shares of subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment.
Financial assets other than investment in subsidiaries
Financial assets of the Company comprise trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances, Investments in equity shares of companies other than in subsidiaries, Investment in units of Mutual Funds, loans/ advances to employee / related parties / others, security deposit, claims recoverable etc.
i. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at Transaction Price. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit orloss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss. Where transaction price is not the measure of fair value and fair value is determined using a valuation method that uses data from observable market, the difference between transaction price and fair value is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the date of recognition if the fair value pertains to Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and in other cases spread over life of the financial instrument using effective interest method
ii. Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in the below categories:
• Financial assets carried at amortized cost:
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the financials asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms ofthe financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financials assets are amortized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in finance costs.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:
Financial assets are mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial assetis heldwithin a business modelwhose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Further, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling orrepurchasing in the nearterm. Financial assets atfair value through profit orloss are fair valued at each reporting date with all the changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
iii. De-recognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset onlywhen the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
iv. Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on the expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition ofimpairment loss, the calculation ofwhich is based on historical data, on the financial assets that are trade receivables or contract revenue receivables and all lease receivables.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as expense/income in the statement of profit and loss.
(b) Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities includes borrowings, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables.
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
i. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.
ii. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
• Financial liabilities at amortized cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held fortrading iftheyare incurred to repurchase in the nearterm. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held fortrading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains orlosses on liabilities held fortrading are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii. De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognizedwhen the obligation underthe liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by anotherfrom the same lender on substantially differentterms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition ofthe original liability and the recognition of a newliability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(c) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
k. Employee Benefits
1. Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries,wages, short-term compensated absences and performance incentives, are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related services and are measured at undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
2. Long term employee benefits
The cost of providing long term employee benefit such as earned leave is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employee's upto the end of the reporting period. The expected costs ofthe benefitis accrued overthe period of employment using Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit or Loss in which they arise except those included in cost of assets as permitted. The benefit is valued annually by independent actuary.
3. Post-employment benefit plan
The Company provides the following post-employment benefits:
-
- Defined benefit plans such as gratuity
-
- Defined contributions plan such as provident fund & pension fund
Defined Benefit Plans:
The cost of providing benefits underthe defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as given rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measuring each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The yearly expenses on account ofthese benefits are provided in the books of accounts.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted.
Re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions, the effect of change in assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan asset (excluding net interest as defined above) are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur.
Liabilities regarding compensated absences have been classified as current/ non-current at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date as per the Actuarial valuation report and other benefits like gratuity have been classified as current.
Defined Contribution Plans:
Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employees salary. The Company contributes a part of the contribution to the provident fund.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, viz., Provident Fund for certain eligible employees, Pension Fund and Superannuation benefits are recognised as an expensewhen employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contribution.
l. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) 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. Such provisions are determined based on management estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a standalone asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, the risks specific to the liability.When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognised as a finance cost.
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it. Unavoidable cost is determined based on cost that are directly attributable to having and executing the contracts.
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business about 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. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent Assets are not recognised, however disclosed in Financial Statement when inflow of economic benefits is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset but is recognised as an asset.
m. Segment reporting
Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision making body in the company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company.
Inter-segment revenue is accounted for based on transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue/expenses/assets/liabilities".
n. Earnings per share
In determining the earnings per share, the Company considers the net profit/(loss) after tax and the post-tax effect of any extraordinary/exceptional item is shown separately. The number of shares considered in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares considered for computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares used for deriving the basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares as may be applicable. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issues.
o. Cash flow statement
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared to segregate the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using an indirect method, prescribed in the relevant IND AS adjusting the net profit / (Loss) forthe effects of:
- i. Changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;
- ii. Non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses
- iii. All otheritems forwhich the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cheques and drafts on hand, deposits held with Banks

40. Financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between the willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values:
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments
Financial Instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rate and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There is no fair valuation of financial instruments.

41. Financial risk management objectives
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loan from banks and financial institutions, finance lease obligations and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as trade receivables, cash and short term deposits, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from Company's financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interestrate risk, creditrisk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks.
i. Foreign currency risk:
The Company does not have material revenue from overseas operations. However, the entity makes imports of Raw material and capital goods. Further the Company holds monetary assets in the form of investments in currency other than its functional currency i.e. Indian Rupee. Foreign currency risk, as defined in Ind AS 107, arises as the value of future transactions, recognised monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in other currencies fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
While the company has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings. For that reason, the below sensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Company's net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements in foreign exchange rates. The above risks may affect the Company's income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of the Company's management of market risk is to maintain this risk within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

ii. Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interestrate riskbecause the Companyborrows funds at both fixed and floating interestrates. Interest rate risk can be eitherfair value interest rate risk or cash flowinterest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates, in cases where the borrowings are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk of the Company arises from borrowings. The Company endeavour to adopt a policy of ensuring that maximum of its interest rate risk exposure is at fixed rate. The Company's interest-bearing financial instruments are reported as below:
| (Rs. in Lakhs) | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at | As at | |
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Fixed Rate Borrowings | 21,154.05 | 96,282.99 |
| Floating Rate Borrowings | - | - |
| Total Borrowing | 21,154.05 | 96,282.99 |
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used for the purpose of sensitivity analysis.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's profit/(loss) before tax for the year ended March 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by NIL (for the year ended March 31, 2024: decrease/ increase by NIL)
iii. Credit risk
The Company directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial assetwhen the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The amounts of financial assets are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated by the Company and based, in part, on the age of specific receivable balance and the current and expected collection trends. As such, in addition to the age of its Financial Assets, the Company also considers the age of its orders in progress, as well as the existence of any deferred revenue or down payments on orders on the same project or with the same client. The Company has used practical expedient by computing expected credit loss allowance for trade receivable by taking into consideration historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information. The Company is still pursuing the recovery for the receivable for which allowance made for bad and doubtful debts.
Ageing of current trade receivables (Note 10) considered by the Management forthis purpose are as under:
| (Rs. in Lakhs) | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2025 |
As at March 31, 2024 |
|
| Trade Receivables outstanding for a period exceeding six months from the date they are due for payment |
1,151.40 | 981.82 |
| Other trade receivables | 5,293.02 | 2,736.27 |
| 6,444.42 | 3,718.09 |
In addition the Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to the maximum related party credit exposure at March 31, 2025 on account of carrying amount of loans /advances /deposit, trade and other receivables and guarantees is disclosed in note 34 on related party transactions. Based on the creditworthiness of the related parties, financial strength of related parties and its parents and past history of recoveries from them, the credit risk is mitigated. Credit risk relating to unrelating parties is minimised as the Company deals only with reputed parties.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with reputable and credit-worthy banks.
iv. Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

3. Emphasis of Matter
i. Going Concern Assessment:
We draw attention to Note 38 (b)(iv) of the Consolidated Financial Statement which states that in 2018, JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited ("JMFARC") had restructured Company's debt vide a Restructuring Agreement dated 27th March, 2018 Subsequently, the Company had committed default in ensuring the repayments of the restructuring facility. Hence, on 19th September, 2022 JMFARC revoked the restructuring of existing facilities (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) and the dues amounting to Rs. 2,42,762.93 Lakhs was reinstated, however in the books of accounts of the Company the loans were not reinstated as the Company was hopeful to get a revised resolution on the same. JMFARC had initiated proceedings with the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for recovery of the outstanding balance. JMFARC had also filed the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process(CIRP) against Corporate Guarantors namely Melisma finance and Trading Private Limited (Erstwhile named as Aurella Estate and Investments Private Limited), entity having significant influence over the Company, Nitco Realities Private Limited (Subsidiary) and Meghdoot Properties Private Limited, Feel Better Housing Private Limited, Maxwealth Properties Private Limited, Silver-Sky Real Estate Private Limited (4 step-down Subsidiaries). All the above petitions were at Preadmission/ not admitted stage. In April 2024, JMFARC assigned its rights and obligations concerning the Company's debt to Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited ("AIIL").
During the year, a memorandum of intent of settlement dated 24.09.2024 between the Company and AIIL has been filed with the Hon'ble NCLT. The Hon'ble NCLT has allowed the Company petition to be disposed of as having been withdrawn along with all the pending Interlocutory Application, if any.
On October 22, 2024, the Company and AIIL entered into a restructuring agreement and have agreed to restructure the reinstated outstanding debt obligations (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) which is Rs. 2,87,581.07 lakhs as of October 20, 2024, in the books of accounts the loans were not reinstated and the balance as at October 20, 2024 is Rs. 71,466.33 Lakhs. This restructuring involves revised repayment terms forsustainable debt, conversion of unsustainable debt into equity and additional financing commitments from the promoters and other investors (detailed below). The necessary approvals from shareholders were obtained by the Company vide EGM held on 15th November, 2024 and the in-principle approval from stock exchanges was also obtained in January 2025.
Key terms of the restructuring agreements are as follows:
- a) Revised repayment terms forsustainable debt of Rs. 15,000.00 lakhs which was paid off from the fresh issue proceeds in the current year and conversion of part of unsustainable debt amounting to Rs. 1,03,781.25 lakhs of into 11,25,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share issued to AIIL.
- b) infusion by the existing promoter of an amount of Rs 3,228.75 Lakhs through fresh issue of 35,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share and infusion of an amount of Rs. 5,398.93 Lakhs (being 25% of warrant amount) through issue of 2,34,10,000 convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis.
- c) Raising an aggregate amount of Rs. 37,696.12 lakhs through fresh issue of equity shares to third party investors of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share on preferential allotment basis.
The aforementioned issue of equity shares & convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis is in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
Considering the above events, the Holding Company has recognized a loss of Rs. 47,314.92 Lakhs as exceptional loss.
This loss, along with deterioration in the value of assets used to generate cash flows has lead the company to incur substantial operating losses in the financial year.
These events or conditions have been mitigated by the following factors which represent significant progress in addressing the Company's financial challenges:
- Most of these losses are one-time losses due to one-time settlement and deterioration in the value of assets.
- Due to the one-time settlement, there is rescheduling of loan repayments and also the company has been successful in obtaining additional capital.
- Pursuant to the renegotiation of Borrowings and infusion of capital through fresh issue of equity shares, the Company has made progress in addressing its working capital requirements and has improved the sales and operational performance.
- The Company has also repaid its sustainable debt amounting to Rs. 15,000.00 Lakhs from the funds received on infusion of capital and has converted an amount of Rs. 71,466.34 Lakhs from debt to equity, thereby reducing future debt liabilities and interest costs.
- • To strengthen the Company's operational foundation and support future growth, the Company acquired selected identified real estate assets/ shares of company(ies) from Related Parties of the Company for an aggregate amount of not more than Rs. 30,000 lakhs to develop the same as real estate projects.
- The Company has also progressed in Real estate development at the immovable property located at Kanjurmarg and MIDC, village Panchpakhadi Thane.
Based on our audit conducted,we have concluded that events or conditions have been identified and no material uncertainty exists relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
- ii. Refer Note 32 (A) to the Consolidated Financial Statement, which describes that during year, the Company concluded a one-time settlement with Life Insurance Corporation of India ("LIC") for its outstanding dues, which is approved by LIC on October 15, 2024. As part of this settlement, the Company made the agreed payment, subsequently receiving a No Due Certificate from LIC dated October 30, 2024. Consequently, the Company has recognized a gain of Rs. 855.39 lakhs arising from this settlement, which has been disclosed as an exceptional item in the consolidated financial statement. Additionally, during the year the Company has accounted forthe sale of itsinvestment in NewVardhman Vitrified Pvt. Ltd. ("NVVPL"), asthe requirement forNo Objection Certificate from LIC no longer applies and recognized a gain of Rs. 275.00 lakhs as an exceptional item in the consolidated financial statement.
- iii. Refer Note 38 (b)(ii) to the Consolidated Financial Statement, Additional Director General Foreign Trade (ADGFT) had levied penalty of Rs. 17,000.00 lakhs which is confirmed by the Appellate bench of DGFT, New Delhi. No provision for the demand is made in the books. Management has received legal opinion that the order is bad in law.
- iv. Refer Note 3.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statement, Management has considered impairment of Rs. 16,267.01 Lakhs in the carrying value of its Property, Plant and Equipment (excluding Land) at its Alibaug Unit.

5. Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon
The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Holding Company's Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
6. Management's Responsibility and Those Charged with Governance 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 term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the Consolidated financial position, Consolidated financial performance, Consolidated Changes in Equity and Consolidated Cash Flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companiesincluded in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
7. Auditor's Responsibility 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 judgement and maintain professional scepticism 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls, to the extent it is applicable.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 existsrelated to events or conditionsthat may castsignificant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 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 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 ofthe entities orbusiness activitieswithin theGroup 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 audit is carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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 ofsuch communication.
8. Other Matters
a) We did not audit the financial statements of three subsidiaries and fourteen Step down subsidiaries, including one Limited Liability Partnership, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 13824.79 lakhs as at 31st March, 2025, total revenues of Rs. 299.89 lakhs, total net profit after tax of Rs.

The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Holding Company and its Subsidiaries as at 31 March 2025. Control is achieved when the Holding Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Holding Company controls an investee if and only if the Holding Company 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
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Holding Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Holding Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
- The Holding Company's voting rights and potential voting rights
- The size of the Holding Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders
The Holding Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a Subsidiary begins when the Holding Company obtains control over the Subsidiary and ceases when the Holding Company loses control of the Subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a Subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date the Holding Company gains control until the date the Holding Company ceases to control the Subsidiary.
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, if material, are made to that group'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 Holding Company, i.e., year ended on 31 March, 2025.
Consolidation procedure:
- • Combine like items ofassets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows oftheHoldingCompanywith those ofits Subsidiaries
- • Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount ofthe Holding Company'sinvestment in each Subsidiary and the Holding Company's portion of equity of each Subsidiary
- • Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flowsrelating to transactions between entities of the group (profits orlossesresulting from intragroup transactionsthat are recognised in assets,such asinventory and Property, Plant and Equipment, 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 orloss and each component ofother comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equityholders oftheHolding Company of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Noncontrolling interest represents that part of the total comprehensive income and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to the Financial Statements of Subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Holding Company's accounting policies
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Holding Company loses control over a Subsidiary, it:
- Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the Subsidiary
- Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
- • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
- Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
- Recognises the fair value of any investment retained
- • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
- • Reclassifiesthe Holding Company'sshare of components previously recognised in OCI to profit orloss orretained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Holding Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Goodwill on consolidation
Goodwill on consolidation as on the date of transition represents the excess of cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary over the Group's share in the net worth of a subsidiary. For this purpose, the Group's share of net worth is determined on the basis ofthe latest financialstatements, priorto the acquisition, after making necessary adjustmentsfor material events between the date of such financial statements and the date of respective acquisition. Capital reserve on consolidation represents excess of the Group's share in the net worth of a subsidiary over the cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary. Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortised, however, it is tested for impairment annually. In the event of cessation of operations of a subsidiary, the unimpaired goodwill is written off fully.
Goodwill on consolidation arising on acquisitions on or after the date of transition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary, over the Group's share in the fair value of the net assets of a subsidiary.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis following historical cost considering the applicable provisions of Companies Act, 2013, except for the following material item that has been measured at fair value as required by relevant IND AS. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
-
- Certain financial assets/liabilities measured at fair value [Refer Note 2.4 (J)] and
-
- Any other item as specifically stated in the accounting policy. (Refer Note 35)
The carrying value of all the items of property, plant and equipment as of the date of transition is considered the deemed cost. Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
-
- Level 1 input are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date;
-
- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets/liabilities
The Consolidated Financial Statement are presented in INR and all values are rounded off to Rupees lakhs unless otherwise stated. The Group reclassifies comparative amounts, unless impracticable
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended 31st March, 2025 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 02nd May, 2025.
b. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Group's normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out under Ind AS and in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of the services and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating forthe purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Use of Estimates
In the application of accounting policy which are described in note 2.4 below, the management is required to make judgment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, contingent liabilities and the accompanying disclosures that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future period.
The few critical estimations and judgments made in applying accounting policies are:
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Intangible Assets are as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and on certain assets based on technical advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support. The Group reviews the useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation charge in future periods. [Refer Note 2.4 (a)]
Revisions to accounting estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment, Other Intangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligationsin respect ofretirement benefit plans, fairvalue measurement etc. difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
For calculating the recoverable amount of non-financial assets, the Group is required to estimate the value-in-use of the asset or the Cash Generating Unit and the fair value less costs to disposal. For calculating value in use the Group is required to estimate the cash flows to be generated from using the asset. The fair value of an asset is estimated using a valuation technique where observable prices are not available. Further, the discount rate used in value in use calculations includes an estimate of risk assessment specific to the asset [Refer Note 2.4 ( g )]

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31ST MARCH, 2025
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group impairs financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss or designated at fair value through other comprehensive income on expected credit losses. The estimation of expected credit loss includes the estimation of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). Estimation of probability of default apart from involving trend analysis of past delinquency rates includes an estimation on forward looking information relating to not only the counterparty but also relating to the industry and the economy as a whole. The probability of default is estimated for the entire life of the contract by estimating the cash flows that are likely to be received in default scenario. The lifetime PD is reduced to 12 months PD based on an assessment of past history of default cases in 12 months. Further, the loss given default is calculated based on an estimate of the value of the security recoverable as on the reporting date. The exposure at default is the amount outstanding at the balance sheet date. (Refer Note 2.4 k (a)(iv)]
Defined Benefit Plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other postemployment benefits and the present value ofsuch obligations 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, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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. (Refer Note 35)
Leases
IND AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a leaseby-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considersfactorssuch as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken overthe lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Group has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts. [Refer Note 2.4 (e)]
Allowance for credit losses on receivables
The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future
2.4 Material accounting policies
IND AS 1 was amended vide notification no G.S.R.242(E) dated 31st March 2023 to require disclosure of Material Accounting Policy information from accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023 instead of significant accounting policy disclosure by amending paragraph 117, inserting paragraphs 117A to 117E and deleting paragraphs 118 to 121. Paragraph 117 of Ind AS 1 states Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
a. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
The Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment ('PPE') recognised as of the transition date, measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost of the PPE.
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses except for freehold land which is not depreciated.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on the economic useful lives of the assets. The useful lives have been determined based on the technical evaluation done by management. Further, the remaining useful life has also been revised whenever appropriate based on the evaluation. Depreciation in addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro-rata to the period of use. The aggregate depreciation is provided as per the requirement of Part C of Schedule II to Companies Act 2013. Assets costing up to Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Consolidated Financial Statement
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31ST MARCH, 2025
Depreciation on each part of an item of property, plant and equipment is provided using the Straight Line Method (SLM) based on the useful life of the asset as estimated by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except on some assets, where useful life has been taken based on external/ internal technical evaluation as given below:
| Class of assets | Basis | Useful life/ rate of depreciation |
|---|---|---|
| Office equipment – mobile | SLM | 2 years |
| Motor vehicles | SLM | 4 years |
| Computer software | SLM | 5 years |
| Showroom Building (civil) | SLM | 10 years |
| Plant and machinery – Punch & Dies | SLM | 2 years |
| Other Plant and Machinery | SLM | 7, 10 and 18 years |
| Fit-out and other assets at sales outlets | SLM | 5 years |
| Roads | SLM | 30 and 60 years |
Capital work in progress includes construction stores including material in transit/equipment/services, etc. received at the site for use in the projects. All revenue expenses incurred during the construction period, which are exclusively attributable to the acquisition/ construction of property, plant and equipment, are capitalised at the time of commissioning of such assets. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work in progress. Advances given towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are amortised throughout the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is lower. The useful lives, residual values of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
b. Intangible Assets
Other Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. After initial recognition, other intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Software (not being an integral part of the related hardware) acquired for internal use are treated as intangible assets.
An item of Other Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss arising from derecognition of an other intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Amortisation Other Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a Straight-Line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The amortisation expense on other intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The amortisation period and method for an other intangible asset are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Costs relating to computer software are capitalised and amortised on the straight-line method over their estimated useful economic life of six years.
c. Asset held for Sale:
Non-current assets are classified as held forsale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non-current asset is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held forsale. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets that cease to be classified as held forsale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when it no longer meets the "Held for Sale" criteria.
d. Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted under the Employee Stock Option Plan is recognized as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizesthe impact ofthe revision to original estimates, if any, in statement of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
e. Leases
The Group has applied IND AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach.
The Group as a lessee
The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land & buildings. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease ifthe contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rate specific to the Group. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the financial statements
The Group as a lessor
Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
f. Inventories
Inventories consisting of stores, spares, raw materials, packing material, finished goods, Work in progress, and trading material are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence if any. However, materials held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost, if the finished products are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
Finished goods and work-in-progress include all costs of purchases, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost ofwork-in-progress and finished goods includes material cost, labour cost and manufacturing overheads absorbed on based one normal capacity of production.
Inventory obsolescence is based on assessment of the future uses. Obsolete and slow-moving items are subjected to continuous technical monitoring and are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value.
g. Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets other than inventories and non-current assets held for sale are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher than assets or Cash-Generating Units (CGU) fair value fewer costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups 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. Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Consolidated Financial Statement
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31ST MARCH, 2025
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
h. Revenue recognition
The Holding Company derives revenues primarily from sale of goods comprising of Tiles, Marble and Mosaic
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for turnover/product/prompt payment discounts to customer as specified in the contract with the customers. When the level of discount varies with increase in levels of revenue transactions, the Company recognises the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognised until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The Company recognises changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized, at a point in time when control is transferred to customer , as per the terms of the contracts and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. It excludes Goods and Services tax. It is measured at the amount of transaction price received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
The Company exercisesjudgement in determiningwhetherthe performance obligation issatisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product orservice, transfer ofsignificant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Dividend Income is accounted for when the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
The sale of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered.
Interest Income on financial assets measured at amortised cost isrecognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method
Other income is accounted for on an accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on a receipt basis.
i. Foreign currency transactions
The Financial Statements ofGroup are presented in INR,which is also the functional currency. In preparing the financialstatements, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported at the exchange rate ruling on the date of transaction.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end exchange rates are generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as adjustments to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance cost. All otherforeign exchange gains and losses as presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basiswithin other gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising from the translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or statement of profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively). Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates on dates of initial recognition.
J. 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of asset and liability if market participants would take those into consideration. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these Financial Statements is determined on such basis except for Inventories, Leases and value in use of non-financial assets. Normally at initial recognition, the transaction price is the best evidence of fair value.
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.
TheGroup uses valuation techniquesthat are appropriate in the circumstances and forwhich sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities forwhich fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized 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 techniquesforwhich the lowestlevel inputthatissignificantto the fairvalue measurementis unobservable
Financial assets and financial liabilitiesthat are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determineswhethertransfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
k. 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. The Group recognises a financial asset or financial liability in its balance sheet onlywhen the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(a) Financial assets
A financial asset inter-alia includes any asset that is cash, equity instrument of another entity or contractual rights to receive cash oranotherfinancial asset orto exchange financial asset orfinancial liabilityundercondition that are potentially favourable to the Group.
The Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through Profits or loss based on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in equity shares of subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment.
Financial assets other than investment in subsidiaries
Financial assets of the Group comprise trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances, Investments in equity shares of companies other than in subsidiaries, Investment in units of Mutual Funds, loans/ advances to employee / related parties / others, security deposit, claims recoverable etc.
i. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at Transaction Price. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss. Where transaction price is not the measure of fair value and fair value is determined using a valuation method that uses data from observable market, the difference between transaction price and fairvalue isrecognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the date of recognition if the fair value pertains to Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and in other cases spread over life of the financial instrument using effective interest method
ii. Subsequent measurement
For purposes ofsubsequent measurement financial assets are classified in the below categories:
• Financial assets carried at amortized cost:
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the financials asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets 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 amount outstanding. These financials assets are amortized using the effective interestrate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in finance costs.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:
Financial assets are mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Group has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit orloss. Further, financial assets atfairvalue through profit orloss also include financial assets held fortrading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit orloss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets at fair value through profit orloss are fairvalued at each reporting datewith allthe changesrecognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
iii. De-recognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
iv. Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses impairment based on the expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss, the calculation ofwhich is based on historical data, on the financial assetsthat are trade receivables or contract revenue receivables and all lease receivables.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as expense/income in the statement of profit and loss.
(b) Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities includes borrowings, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables.
The Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
i. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.
ii. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
• Financial liabilities at amortized cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit orlosswhen the liabilities are derecognized aswell as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part ofthe EIR. The EIR amortization isincluded as finance costsin the statement of profit and loss.
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initialrecognition as atfairvalue through profit orloss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred to repurchase in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii. De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability isreplaced by anotherfrom the same lender on substantially different terms orthe terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a newliability. The difference in the respective carrying amountsisrecognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(c) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
l. Employee Benefits
1. Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences and performance incentives, are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related services and are measured at undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
2. Long term employee benefits
The cost of providing long term employee benefit such as earned leave is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employee's upto the end of the reporting period. The expected costs ofthe benefit is accrued overthe period of employment using Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit or Loss in which they arise except those included in cost of assets as permitted. The benefit is valued annually by independent actuary.
3. Post-employment benefit plan
The Holding Company provides the following post-employment benefits:
-
- Defined benefit plans such as gratuity
-
- Defined contributions plan such as provident fund & pension fund
Defined Benefit Plans:
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as given rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measuring each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The yearly expenses on account of these benefits are provided in the books of accounts.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted.
Re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions,the effect of change in assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan asset(excluding netinterest as defined above) are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period inwhich they occur.
Liabilities regarding compensated absences have been classified as current/ non-current at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date as per the Actuarial valuation report and other benefits like gratuity have been classified as current.
Defined Contribution Plans:
Eligible employees of the Holding Company receive benefits from a provident fund which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Holding Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employees salary. The Holding Company contributes a part of the contribution to the provident fund.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, viz., Provident Fund for certain eligible employees, Pension Fund and Superannuation benefits are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contribution
m. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) 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. Such provisions are determined based on management estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a standalone asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to existwhen a contract underwhich the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it. Unavoidable cost is determined based on cost that are directly attributable to having and executing the contracts.
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business about 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. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent Assets are not recognised, however disclosed in Financial Statement when inflow of economic benefits is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset but is recognised as an asset.
n. Finance Costs
Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized/inventoried as part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period to get ready for its intended use orsale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The capitalisation on borrowing costs commences when the Group incurs expenditure for the asset, incurs borrowing cost and undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. The capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during extended periods in which active development of a qualifying asset is suspended. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete
o. Segment reporting
Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision making body in the Group to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Group.
Inter-segment revenue is accounted for based on transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue/expenses/assets/liabilities".
p. Earnings per share
In determining the earnings pershare,the Group considersthe net profit/(loss) aftertax and the post-tax effect of any extraordinary/ exceptional item is shown separately. The number of shares considered in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares considered for computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares used for deriving the basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares as may be applicable. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issues.
q. Cash flow statement
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared to segregate the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using an indirect method, prescribed in the relevant IND AS adjusting the net profit / (Loss) for the effects of:
- i. Changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;
- ii. Non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses
- iii. All other items forwhich the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

40. Financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between the willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values:
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments
Financial Instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rate and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There is no fair valuation of financial instruments.
The carrying values of the financial instruments by categories were as follows:

41. Financial risk management objectives
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interestrates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise of loan from banks and financial institutions, finance lease obligations and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilitiesisto raise finance for the operations of the Group. The Group has various financial assets such as trade receivables, cash and short term deposits, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from Group's financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks.
i. Foreign currency risk:
The Group does not have material revenue from overseas operations. However, the group makes imports of Raw material and capital goods. Further the Group holds monetary assets in the form of investments in currency other than its functional currency i.e. Indian Rupee. Foreign currency risk, as defined in Ind AS 107, arises as the value of future transactions, recognised monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in other currencies fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
While the Group has direct exposure to foreign exchange rate changes on the price of non-Indian Rupee-denominated securities and borrowings. Forthat reason, the belowsensitivity analysis may not necessarily indicate the total effect on the Group's net assets attributable to holders of equity shares of future movements in foreign exchange rates. The above risks may affect the Group's income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of management of market risk is to maintain this risk within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

ii. Interest Rate Risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because the Group borrowsfunds at both fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates, in cases where the borrowings are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
NITCO LIMITED
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2025
Exposure to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk of the Group arises from borrowings. The Group endeavour to adopt a policy of ensuring that maximum of its interest rate risk exposure is at fixed rate. The Group's interest-bearing financial instruments are reported as below:
| (Rs. in Lakhs) | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2025 |
As at March 31, 2024 |
|
| Fixed Rate Borrowings | 28,592.02 | 97,112.61 |
| Floating Rate Borrowings | - | - |
| Total Borrowing | 28,592.02 | 97,112.61 |
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used for the purpose of sensitivity analysis.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's profit/(loss) before tax for the year ended March 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by NIL (for the year ended March 31, 2024: decrease/increase by NIL)
iii. Credit risk
The Group directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The amounts of financial assets are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated by the Group and based, in part, on the age of specific receivable balance and the current and expected collection trends. As such, in addition to the age of its Financial Assets, the Group also considers the age of its orders in progress, as well as the existence of any deferred revenue or down payments on orders on the same project or with the same client. The Group has used practical expedient by computing expected credit loss allowance for trade receivable by taking into consideration historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information. The Group is still pursuing the recovery for the receivable for which allowance made for bad and doubtful debts.
Ageing of current trade receivables (Note 9) considered by the Management for this purpose are as under:
| (Rs. in Lakhs) | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2025 |
As at March 31, 2024 |
|
| Trade Receivables outstanding for a period exceeding six months from the date they are due for payment |
1,151.40 | 981.82 |
| Other trade receivables | 5,296.08 | 2,742.04 |
| 6,447.48 | 3,723.86 |
In addition the Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to the maximum related party credit exposure at March 31, 2025 on account of carrying amount of loans /advances /deposit, trade and other receivables and guarantees is disclosed in note 34 on related party transactions. Based on the creditworthiness of the related parties, financial strength of related parties and its parents and past history of recoveries from them, the credit risk is mitigated. Credit risk relating to unrelating parties is minimised as the Group deals only with reputed parties.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with reputable and credit-worthy banks.
iv. Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Liquidity table:
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay:
