REPORT ANNUAL 34TH
SUSTAINABILITY GROWTH INNOVATION
2022-23

Chairman's Message

Dear Valued Shareholders,
I am delighted to present to you our 34th Annual Report for the Financial Year (FY) 2022-23.
The year witnessed major macroeconomic factors that shaped the global economy—higher interest rates coupled with tightening liquidity, high commodity prices following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, high energy and food prices in Europe, and global supply-chain disruptions, amongst others.
Although these economic challenges impacted the overall demand, your Company emerged resilient, and I am grateful to our customers, partners, employees, and other stakeholders for their relentless collaboration to make this happen.
Your Company's financial performance, industry trends, and expansion plans
In FY23, your Company was able to steer through the challenges of unpredictable market conditions effectively and achieved the highest-ever consolidated net revenue of INR 14,784 crore backed by the highest-ever packaging (flexible and aseptic) sales volume at 1,37,682 MT.
We are witnessing an era of transformational change in the packaging industry driven by both regulations and consumer preferences and the pace of change is accelerating rapidly. Sustainability and e-commerce are the megatrends shaping this era that will provide opportunities on one hand and lead to uncertainties on the other. It will be important for innovative products to be more sustainable and less expensive, and packaging companies will have to consider incorporating new materials, recycled content, and new substrates, into their portfolios.
As extended producer responsibility (EPR) and tax pressures make non-sustainable packaging more problematic, we expect recycling, reuse, refilling, and biodegradation to gain further traction.
I am confident that our focus on sustainability, distributed global manufacturing strategy, vertical integration, customer centricity, execution capabilities, investments in research and development, and product innovation will enable us to successfully navigate these changes and deliver year-on-year profitable growth.
During the year, your Company commissioned a BOPET film plant and a CPP film plant at Dharwad, Karnataka, with a capacity of 45,000 MT per annum and 18,000 MT per annum respectively, and a CPP film plant at Dubai with a capacity of 18,000 MT per annum. In addition, your Company set up a PCR line in Mexico to reprocess post-consumer PET bottles and manufacture polyester (PCR) chips.
Your Company continues its focus on backward integration for BOPET films by setting up polycondensation plants in Egypt and in Panipat, India, to produce polyester chips that are used to manufacture BOPET film, flexible packaging materials, and pet bottles. This will ensure consistent availability of quality raw materials at reasonable prices that will help improve margins.

Chairman's Message
Last year, your Company's aseptic packaging business achieved significant growth and expanded its Sanand, Gujarat, manufacturing facility capacity to 7 billion packs per annum.
We remain bullish on our flexible packaging business, and our holography and chemicals businesses continue to gather momentum.
Research and Development
As a company, we have always invested in R&D to develop products and solutions for the future. Across all our business lines, we work with our customers to understand their products, consumer expectations, and packaging needs and invest in the latest technologies to deliver on their packaging and brand goals.
In FY23, we applied for several patents and were awarded two patents for our innovative research methodologies in packaging films and our inks and adhesives business.
ESG and Sustainability
As an integral part of our corporate strategy, we have always aligned our sustainability agenda with our business and technological transitions and organizational growth. Today, our business approach includes a holistic, sustainable strategy aimed at providing long-term value for our stakeholders.
From the way we allocate capital toward recycling facilities, and how we manage our operations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to our supply chain and community partnerships, our business decisions have always been aligned with our sustainability vision and goals.
Continuing the momentum on our sustainability journey, your Company is in the process of commissioning a Multi-Layered Plastic (MLP) recycling facility in Poland.
Our talent management, employee engagement, learning and development initiatives, CSR activities, environmental initiatives, and ethical corporate governance are focused on fulfilling our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibilities.
I would like to thank each member of the UFlex family for their active support and trust in our abilities to deliver on our promise. You continue to motivate us to unleash our potential for the next phase of our growth.
Sincerely,
Ashok Chaturvedi Chairman and Managing Director

Macroeconomic Overview
A series of severe and mutually reinforcing shocks hit the world economy in 2022, as it approached the midpoint for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. While the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to reverberate worldwide, the war in Ukraine unleashed a new crisis, disrupting food and energy markets and exacerbating food insecurity and malnutrition in many developing countries. High inflation is eroding real incomes, triggering a global costof-living crisis that has pushed millions into poverty and economic hardship. Simultaneously, the climate crisis is taking a heavy toll on many countries, with heat waves, wildfires, floods, and hurricanes inflicting massive humanitarian and economic damage (Source: https:// www.undp.org/).
These shocks will weigh heavily on the world economy in 2023. Persistently high inflation – which averaged over 9 per cent in 2022 – has prompted aggressive monetary tightening in many developed and developing countries. Rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve of the United States have triggered capital outflows and currency depreciations in developing countries, increasing balance-of-payment pressures and intensifying debt sustainability risks. Financing conditions have tightened sharply amid high levels of private and public debt, pushing up debt servicing costs, constraining fiscal space, and increasing sovereign credit risks. Rising interest rates and diminishing purchasing power have weakened consumer confidence and investor sentiment, further clouding near-term growth prospects of the world economy. Global trade has soft ened due to tapering demand for consumer goods, the protracted war in Ukraine, and continued supply chain challenges.
However, at the outset of 2023, the global economy has seen some positive signs as inflation and energy prices ease from their peak levels. China's ending of its zero-COVID policy also provides some growth impulses, though its full impact has not yet been unfolded. The world has entered a new era of rapid global change driven by major shift s in demographics, wealth, technology, and climate. But economic growth has been uneven, has come at the expense of the environment, and already has slowed due to climate damages. Global challenges — including fiscal strains on governments exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, environmental degradation, resource depletion, and record levels of displacement — are threatening recent gains. These challenges are compounded by intensifying systemic risks, including trade tensions, rising debt levels, reduced eff ectiveness of monetary policy as a crisis instrument, and increasing inequality — among and within countries. Global economic activity is decelerating sharply as a result of synchronized monetary policy tightening to contain very high inflation, less favorable financial conditions, and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The unexpected failures of two specialized regional banks in the United States in mid-March 2023 and the collapse of confidence in Credit Suisse—a globally significant bank have roiled financial markets, with bank depositors and investors re-evaluating the safety of their holdings and shift ing away from institutions and investments perceived as vulnerable. This banking crisis hits world economy already disrupted by pandemic, war, sanctions, geopolitical tensions, and climate shocks. Nevertheless, the global macroeconomic environment remains challenging for economies, business and consumers in the year ahead.
1. Global Economy
For the global economy, 2022 brought forth several unforeseen challenges even as the world hoped to recover aft er two years of pandemic. Global economic recovery was well on track until the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in February 2022 that hit the

economy hard. From triggering food and fuel shortage to creating an environment of uncertainty, the conflict - which even raised concerns of a nuclear threat has kept the world on edge ever since it started on February 24, 2022. The conflict has now continued for more than a year, disrupting the restoration of the supply chains disrupted earlier by lockdowns and limited trade traff ic. During the year, the world economy has faced almost as many disruptions as caused by the pandemic in two years. The conflict caused the prices of critical commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, fertilisers, and wheat to soar. This strengthened the inflationary pressures that the global economic recovery had triggered, backed by massive fiscal stimuli and ultra-accommodative monetary policies undertaken to limit the output contraction in 2020. Inflation in Advanced Economies (AEs), which accounted for most of the global fiscal expansion and monetary easing, breached historical highs. Rising commodity prices also led to higher inflation in the Emerging Market Economies (EMEs), which otherwise were in the lower inflation zone by virtue of their governments undertaking a calibrated fiscal stimulus to address output contraction in 2020. Central banks, which were slow to react to price pressures building up during the nascent recovery from the pandemic, regarded them as transient only to realise, belatedly, the necessity and the inevitability of a strong monetary policy response. Led by the US Federal Reserve, central banks have been hiking policy rates and rolling back liquidity to rein in inflation synchronously. The pace of this tightening cycle has been rapid – the Federal Reserve's pace of rate hikes is the quickest since the inflationary episode of the 1970s, with the central bank having raised interest rates by 475 basis points since March 2022. As the impact of monetary policy actions is felt with a lag, inflation rates remained stubbornly high during the early phase of the rate hike cycle but have begun to decline lately. At the same time, synchronised rate hikes by the central banks have not tightened financial conditions suff iciently enough for central banks to end their tightening campaign. The frailties of the Chinese economy further contributed to weakening the growth forecasts. Dwindling global growth apart from monetary tightening may also lead to a financial contagion emanating from the advanced economies where the debt of the non-financial sector has risen the most since the global financial crisis. With inflation persisting in the advanced economies and the central banks hinting at further rate hikes, downside risks to the global economic outlook appear elevated.
Global growth is expected to decelerate sharply to 1.7 per cent in 2023—the third weakest pace of growth in nearly three decades, overshadowed only by the global recessions caused by the pandemic and the global financial crisis (Source: https://www.worldbank. org/). This is 1.3 percentage points below previous forecasts, reflecting synchronous policy tightening aimed at containing very high inflation, worsening financial conditions, and continued disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The United States, the Euro area, and China are all undergoing a period of pronounced weakness, and the resulting spillovers are exacerbating other headwinds faced by Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs). The combination of slow growth, tightening financial conditions, and heavy indebtedness is likely to weaken investment and trigger corporate defaults. Further negative shocks—such as higher inflation, even tighter policy, financial stress, deeper weakness in major economies, or rising geopolitical tensions—could push the global economy into recession. In the near term, urgent global eff orts are needed to mitigate the risks of global recession and debt distress in EMDEs. Given limited policy space, it is critical that national policy makers ensure that any fiscal support is focused on vulnerable groups, that inflation expectations remain well anchored, and that financial systems continue to be resilient. Policies are also needed to support a major increase in EMDE investment, which can help reverse the slowdown in long-term growth exacerbated by the overlapping shocks of the pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the rapid tightening of global monetary policy. This will require new financing from the international community and from the repurposing of existing spending, such as ineff icient agricultural and fuel subsidies. Investment growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is expected to remain below its average rate of the past two decades. Further adverse shocks could push the global economy into yet another recession. Small states are especially vulnerable to such shocks because of their reliance on external trade and financing, limited economic diversification, elevated debt, and susceptibility to natural disasters. Global growth has slowed to the extent that the global economy is perilously close to falling into recession—defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income—only three years aft er emerging from the pandemic-induced recession of 2020. Very high inflation has triggered unexpectedly rapid and synchronous monetary policy tightening around the world to contain it, including across major

advanced economies. Although this tightening has been necessary for price stability, it has contributed to a significant worsening of global financial conditions, which is exerting a substantial drag on activity. This drag is set to deepen given the lags between changes in monetary policy and its economic impacts, and the fact that real rates are expected to continue to increase.
Global economic activity is experiencing a broad-based and sharper-than-expected slowdown, with inflation higher than seen in several decades. The cost-of-living crisis, tightening financial conditions in most regions, Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic all weigh heavily on the outlook. Global growth is forecast to slow from 6.0 percent in 2021 to 3.2 percent in 2022 and 2.7 percent in 2023 (Source: https:// www.imf.org/). This is the weakest growth profile since 2001 except for the global financial crisis and the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Global growth is projected to remain at a below-trend rate in 2023-24, with inflation moderating gradually as the quick and synchronised monetary policy tightening over the past year takes full eff ect. Demand is likely to be cushioned by further easing of household saving rates in many countries, with households yet to fully use the additional savings accumulated during the pandemic. The impact of tighter financial conditions is otherwise likely to be felt throughout the economy over time, particularly on private investment. The disruption from the war in Ukraine is also likely to continue to weigh on global output both directly and indirectly through the impact on uncertainty, continuing risks to food and energy security, and the significant changes taking place in commodity markets as price caps and Western embargos on Russian energy outputs take full eff ect.
2. Indian Economy
The impact of the pandemic on India was seen in a significant GDP contraction in FY21. The following year, FY22, the Indian economy started to recover despite the Omicron wave of January 2022. This third wave did not aff ect economic activity in India as much as the previous waves of the pandemic did since its outbreak in January 2020. Mobility enabled by localised lockdowns, rapid vaccination coverage, mild symptoms and quick recovery from the virus contributed to minimising the loss of economic output in the January-March quarter of 2022. Consequently, output in FY22 went past its pre-pandemic level in FY20, with the Indian economy staging a full recovery ahead of many nations. The experience with the Omicron variant engendered a cautious optimism that it was possible to stay physically mobile and engage in economic activities despite the pandemic. FY23 thus opened with a firm belief that the pandemic was rapidly on the wane and that India was poised to grow at a fast pace and quickly ascend to the pre-pandemic growth path. Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY 2022-23 helped India overcome UK to become the fift h-largest economy aft er it recovered from repeated waves of COVID-19 pandemic shock. However, the eff ects of the slowdown in global economic growth resulting from high inflation and the continuing war between Russia and Ukraine are also seen to be aff ecting India's economic performance. The country recorded muted growth of 4.4% in Q4 2022, compared to 6.3% in Q3 2022, with sluggish private consumption and exports being the major reasons behind that. The country's real GDP growth in the fiscal year 2022-23 is estimated at 7.0% in comparison to 9.1% in the previous year. However, some demand indicators such as record sales of 3.8 million in the passenger vehicles segment in 2022 strong growth in tractor sales, and a rise in domestic air travel, continue to support economic growth. However, the challenge of the depreciating rupee, although better performing than most other currencies, persists with the likelihood of further increases in policy rates by the US Federals. The widening of the current account deficit (CAD) may also continue as global commodity prices remain elevated and the growth momentum of the Indian economy remains strong. The loss of export stimulus is further possible as the slowing world growth and trade shrinks the global market size in the second half of the current year(Source: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/).
In the second half of 2022, there was a respite for governments and households. Commodity prices peaked and then declined. In the near term, the acute pressure was relieved, although prices of some commodities (e.g., crude oil) remain well above their pre-pandemic levels. Commodity prices decline, and US interest rates peak, as does the US dollar. Capital and current account imbalances abate.
The enormous fiscal stimulus in advance economies earlier injected by their governments supported a strong demand revival. Growth in world trade subsequently followed, of which India was also a beneficiary. India's exports surged in FY22, and the momentum lasted up to the first half of FY23. Export growth was strong enough to increase India's share in the world market of merchandise exports. However, due to aggressive and synchronised monetary tightening, global economic growth has started

to slow up, and so has world trade. As per United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) latest global trade update, global trade growth turned negative during the H2:2022, and geopolitical frictions, persisting inflationary pressures, and subdued demand are expected to suppress global trade further in 2023. This is likely to aff ect many countries, including India, with the prospects of sluggish exports continuing into FY24, compared to the promise shown at the beginning of the current year (Source: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/).
The year 2022 has been challenging for India from various economic perspectives. However, even as the Indian economy faces multi-dimensional challenges in the short term, it remains one of the most dynamic major economies in the world with immense headroom for growth. A favourable demographic profile, rapid urbanisation and increasing aff luence represent some of the key structural drivers of growth of the Indian economy. India's recovery from the pandemic was relatively quick, and growth in the upcoming year will be supported by solid domestic demand and a pickup in capital investment. Even as India's outlook remains bright, global economic prospects for the next year have been weighed down by the combination of a unique set of challenges expected to impart a few downside risks. Multi-decadal high inflation numbers have compelled central banks across the globe to tighten financial conditions. The impact of monetary tightening is beginning to show in slowing economic activity, especially in Advanced Economies. Besides this, adverse spillovers from the prolonged strains in supply chains and heightened uncertainty due to geo-political conflict have further deteriorated the global outlook. Hence, global growth is forecasted to slow from 3.2 per cent in 2022 to 2.7 per cent in 2023 as per IMF's World Economic Outlook, October 2022. A slower growth in economic output coupled with increased uncertainty will dampen trade growth. This is seen in the lower forecast for growth in global trade by the World Trade Organisation, from 3.5 per cent in 2022 to 1.0 per cent in 2023.
3. Industry Structure & Developments
As per the Economic Survey 2022-23, India is the thirdlargest economy in the world in PPP terms and the fift h largest in market exchange rates. The sheer size of economy has opened up new business opportunities to the world in all walks of business in general and packaging industry in particular. The flexible packaging market is amongst the most dynamic packaging markets presenting various types of materials and packaging used across several regions in the world and the sector in India has emerged as the sea of opportunities for entrepreneurs on the back of its rising popularity. The Indian packaging sector is among the industrial sectors witnessing highest growth potential, due to the presence of packaging in almost every industrial segment, and also due to globalisation of trade in goods and services and emergence of new trade models, such as E-commerce and organised retailing. The industry is broadly divided into two categories viz, rigid packaging and flexible packaging. Recent years have seen a significant rise in demand for flexible packaging material driven by demands in food and beverages industries, personal care and hygiene, and pharmaceuticals. The industry has evolved significantly in the past two years of the pandemic. Through the diff erent phases of the pandemic, new trends have emerged and adopted by various companies in packaging industry. From smart packaging to sustainable and safe packaging with innovation and artistic touch, the packaging trends have gained a lot of prominence in the food, pharmaceutical, beverage, cosmetic and other FMCG industries. The large FMCG players globally have announced moving to sustainable packaging in a phased manner.
The global flexible packaging market size was valued at USD 261.04 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030 (https://www.grandviewresearch.com/). The growth is primarily driven by the growing demand for packaged food coupled with the convenience of use and cost-eff ectiveness of the product. Flexible packaging off ers the benefits of plastic, paper, and aluminum foil without sacrificing printability, durability, barrier protection, freshness, or simplicity of use of the product. The food and beverages industry is shift ing preferences in favor of using flexible pouches for products, such as soups and juices, which have high liquid content. Flexible packaging is also used for products, such as snacks, frozen foods, ready-to-eat, and ready-to-cook food items. These are the major factors for the growth of the Indian flexible packaging market. Moreover, due to an increase in per capita income, India is witnessing a rise in the consumption of packaged foods, which, as a result, is expected to fuel the demand for flexible packaging in the upcoming years.
The Flexible Packaging market is primarily driven by a few key factors, such as increasing product appeal among consumers, successful marketing strategy in opportunities, and simultaneous financial investment in product development.

Flexible Packaging Market in India: Key Drivers, Trends & Challenges
Key Drivers:
The growing retail industry in India is notably driving the market growth.
The retail industry in India is one of the fastest-growing in the world. The retail industry is developing in tier-1 and tier-2 cities, in addition to major cities and metros in the country. Factors such as transforming demographic profiles, rising disposable incomes, growing urbanization, and changing consumer tastes and preferences are driving the growth of the organized retail market in India. The primary factor boosting the growth of the market is the shift of consumers, especially millennials, from traditional retail to online channels.
In addition, increasing consumer awareness about FMCG products and the regular launch of new products by manufacturers is the major factor expected to drive the growth of the FMCG market. Furthermore, the increasing trend of online shopping and expansion of the FMCG network in rural areas of developing countries are expected growth opportunities for the FMCG market. Therefore, the growing retail sector in India will increase the demand for flexible packaging, thereby, driving the growth of the India flexible packaging market.
Trends
Consumer trends for eff ective packaging solutions have drastically changed over time. One packaging trend that has always been a key preference for industries such as food and beverages, retail and electronics, is flexible packaging**.**
The increasing use of stand-up pouches is an emerging trend in the market growth. Vendors are coming up with new and innovative packaging solutions to withstand the high competition in the market in India. Innovative packaging includes stand-up pouches that have gained popularity primarily in the food industry. A stand-up pouch weighs less compared to glass bottle, enhances the functionality of portability and serves as a replacement to cans for storing process food.
Stand-up pouches are easier to open than metal food cans. The stand-up pouches have zips that can be closed if the content in them has to be reused. In addition, metal cans cannot be given any diff erentiating designs to help consumers in using unique designs for their products and brands, whereas stand-up pouches can be designed in diff erent shapes and prints with highquality graphics. Therefore, the growing use of stand-up pouches is expected to drive the growth of the Indian flexible packaging market.
Challenges
The volatility in raw material prices is a major challenge impeding market growth.
The diff erent types of packaging materials used for the packaging of food include plastic, glass, metals, and paper. For example, the cartons used in food packaging are produced either from recycled fiber or virgin fiber. The prices of both recycled fiber and virgin fiber fluctuate constantly, which is a major concern for end-users such as carton producers. The instability in the price of raw materials will result in increased production cost and reduced profit margins.
The prices of packaging raw materials such as paper and paper products that are used to manufacture corrugated packaging solutions are also expected to fluctuate. In addition, aluminum, a key raw material used in manufacturing food cans, is also exhibiting continuous price fluctuations. Hence, the above-mentioned factors are expected to hinder the growth of the India flexible packaging market in focus.
However, despite the challenges oft en presented by flexible packaging in terms of consistent recycling channels, the format remains a preferred choice for brands, retailers and consumers.

7. Opportunities, Key Trends & Threats
Flexible packaging rescued the Indian E-commerce business during the covid-19 pandemic, and the demand for flexible packaging has skyrocketed post-pandemic. This shift has widened business opportunities and growth in the printing and packaging Industry. Further, the industry is driven by key factors like rising population, increase in income levels and changing lifestyles. Growth prospects of end-user segments are contributing to rise in the demand of the flexible packaging industry. Demand from rural sector for packaged products is being fuelled by the increasing media penetration through the means of internet and television. India is emerging as the most favoured destination for organized retail destination in the world. Furthermore, presence of E-commerce is expanding rapidly and is bringing around a revolution in the retail industry. Retailers are now leveraging digital retail channels thereby enabling wider outreach to customers with less amount of money spent on real estate. Therefore, organized retail and boom in e-commerce off ers huge potential for future growth of retailing in India which in turn is pushing the growth of packaging sector.
Flexible Packaging Industry:
Key Trends
Increased Adoption of Flexible Packaging Over Rigid Packaging
Major influencing factors in the global flexible packaging market include the cost of raw materials, eff icient cost of production, and lightweight nature. Further, the demand from buyers and end customers is compelling the shift to flexible packaging. The advent of smaller packs and single-serve packaging has resulted in more packages of lesser volume in 2020 and during COVID-19. The flexible packaging market also off ers easy-to-use caps and closure functionalities that were previously one of the reasons for slower adoption by users. Flexible pouches have become the most sought-aft er product as they can package products belonging to food, pharma, beverages, FMCG, and others. Also, other flexible packaging products, such as aluminum foil and paper, have expanded their scope with many variations. Also, the newer packages with increased protection features from the external environment, combined with functionalities such as zips and spouts, are increasing the adoption of pouch packaging and, in turn, flexible packaging over rigid packaging. Hence, a greater number of products that were earlier packaged in rigid materials have now been replaced by flexible packaging.
Usage of High-Barrier Plastic Packaging Materials
The barrier properties of films used in plastic packaging are important as it ensures that the food is not spoilt

and shelf life is increased. The advent of thinner packaging materials leads to a requirement for highbarrier properties. These barrier properties include the permeability of gases, water vapour, aroma compounds, and light. The polymers used in these plastic films are the essential diff erentiating factor for the eff icacy of such barrier films in maintaining the quality of packaged or processed foods. The flexible plastic packaging market widely uses high-barrier films for premium food protection. The lightweight nature and flexibility of flexible packaging using these high-barrier films replace traditional packaging materials such as metal, rigid plastic, and glass. With the growing demand for high-barrier packaging, especially in the vacuum packaging market due to its cost-eff ectiveness and eff iciency, recyclable high-barrier plastics such as standup pouches are preferred. Moreover, rising awareness of eco-friendly and convenient packaging in the food industry is also expected to increase the demand for high-barrier vacuum packaging in the flexible packaging market.
Restraints
Recycling Challenges With Flexible Packaging Products
Recycling flexible pouches and other products are cumbersome and not economically viable, as separating those materials involves many processes. Unlike rigid plastic products, recycled flexible packaging cannot be used for packaging food and pharmaceuticals as per FDA regulations. The recycled material can only be used for other applications. The recycling process involves the collection of waste, sorting, and recycling. In these processes, the materials undergo washing, shredding, categorization of plastic and extruding. Low-quality materials are disposed of or transferred to energy recovery centers, as end-users use only high-quality material output.
Further, presently, the supply of recycled plastics is not robust. Also, the quality of recycled plastics is not uniform across all regions and facilities. The volume of plastic required by converters is enormous, and the supply side is yet to match the huge demand. This is one of the factors why the adoption rates are currently low for recycled plastic and creates a recycling challenge in the global flexible packaging market. Any fluctuation in the quality or quantity has an immediate impact on the prices of the end products and hence is currently not economically viable.
Higher Operational Costs
Manufacturers of flexible packaging are getting increasingly concerned about inflation. Labor, energy and transportation costs have created a competitive industry with high operational expenses. Additional raw material price hikes are influenced by the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, Russian sanctions, and the realignment of western and eastern countries in the geopolitical arena.
Environmental Consciousness
With environmental awareness rising globally, there is a strong momentum towards sustainable solutions. Stakeholders across the value chain are voicing their concerns regarding the use of plastic packaging and organizations are realigning themselves in this direction.
8. Future Outlook
The global market for flexible packaging has displayed massive development in recent times. The main parameter supporting the market's development is the escalating demand for packaged food. Furthermore, the convenience of use & cost-eff ectiveness of flexible packaging are the crucial parameters supporting the expansion of the global market. Moreover, the rising consumer preference for convenience products will positively influence market performance over the review era. Consumer preferences are changing due to smaller households and busy lifestyles, needing simple products to open, carry, use, store, dispose of and serve their on-the-go lifestyles. Consequently, product packaging that complements modern lifestyles is becoming more popular. In addition, the growing consumer purchasing power is also likely to catalyze the performance of the market over the review era. The factors such as changing consumer lifestyles & consumption habits, adoption of flexible packaging in a variety of end user industries, high market penetration of ready-to-eat meals, a high number of working-class professionals, advancements in food processing techniques, and highlighting the benefits are also projected to boost-up the performance of the market over the coming years. The emergence of bio-based & biodegradable films and growing demand for packaging solutions across the food & beverage, healthcare & personal care industries that ensures enhanced protection & convenience handling are the major growth driver for the Flexible Packaging Market. Increase in demand for snack and convenience food in small or single size portions fuels the growth of the flexible packaging market. The packaging industry is

moving toward flexible packaging, owing to its multifold energy and environmental advantages.
Today, the demand is increasing rapidly for flexible packaging as it is used by the food and beverage, personal and home care industries, as well as pharmaceutical, to protect the countless life-enhancing and life-saving products every day. And demand is increasing rapidly. The world's population is projected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and surpass 9.7 billion by 2050 (Source: https:// www.un.org/), necessitating a significant increase in food production. Global supply chains will need to adapt to this growth, and flexible packaging will play a critical role in delivery of safe and aff ordable products to consumers, improving accessibility no matter where they are. Further, growing global initiatives to promote sustainable packaging due to increasing plastic wastage on landfill is primarily fueling growth of the sustainable packaging market. Thus, opportunities in the flexible packaging market are the growing demand for sustainable packaging and better substitute for traditional packaging materials because of increasing awareness about hygiene. Consumer demand for ecofriendly and sustainable product packaging has proven remarkably stable and robust throughout the societal changes that have occurred in the last several years.
However, the high costs of raw materials which are required for making flexible packaging products, poor recycling infrastructure end use restrictions on recycled flexible packaging and rapid changes in technology are the major factors expected to hinder the growth of flexible packaging market.
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is the home to the fastestgrowing economies and most populous countries in the world. The region is expected to have the largest market share in the coming years. The region provides great amount of opportunities for the growth of the flexible packaging market due to the growing population. Further, the presence of organized retail sector, developing e-commerce sector, availability of low cost labour and the easily available raw materials as well as growing popularity of snacks and beverages in the developing nations of the Asia Pacific region will drive the market growth in the years to come.

Information regarding Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption and Foreign Exchange Earnings and Outgo required under the Companies Accounts Rule, 2014 and forming part of Directors' Report
A. Conservation Of Energy
The growth of the industry and its rapid industrialization is putting tremendous pressure on the available energy resources. The "Energy for All" initiative represents a global commitment to address energy poverty and achieve universal energy access. By prioritizing sustainable and clean energy solutions, promoting partnerships, and leveraging technology and innovation, the goal is to ensure that everyone has access to aff ordable, reliable, and sustainable energy services, thereby contributing to social and economic development, worldwide.
In today's world, the importance of energy conservation cannot be ignored. As we face the challenges of climate change and depleting energy resources, adaptation of energy-eff icient practices is crucial for achieving sustainable development. In an era of increasing energy demand and environmental concerns, energy conservation has emerged as a critical strategy for achieving a sustainable future. The idea is to adopt energy conservation process to reduce energy consumption and promote for a greener world.
In general, eff orts and measures that we undertake to limit energy consumption are called "Energy Conservation". Renewable energy sources can be replenished back in nature but Non-renewable sources are not available for unlimited time and it takes millions of years for regeneration. Our aim should be to reduce, reuse, and recycle available resources. Alternate energy sources like tidal energy, wind energy and solar energy should be used to conserve fossil energy sources.
The energy conservation is crucial for mitigating climate change, protecting the environment, ensuring energy security, reducing costs, promoting sustainable development, improving public health and driving innovation. It is an integral part of transitioning to a more sustainable and low-carbon future. Energy conservation off ers multiple benefits to industries, including cost savings, enhanced competitiveness, regulatory compliance, improved sustainability profile, CSR alignment, innovation opportunities and increased energy security. Sustainable use of energy across its premises is an important element of business decision making process of the Company. Energy eff iciency / conservation eff orts are taken in the organization on continual basis. The Company continues to focus on conservation of natural resources in general and of energy in particular. Since conservation of energy and maximize output is need of hour, energy conservation is an ongoing process in our organization and the Company has taken following steps for the same:
(a) Energy Conservation measures taken during financial year 2022-23
The Company have been focusing upon energy conservation as a part of Sustainability Drive. The Initiatives for Energy conservation may be in reducing Power and Fuel (KWH, HSD/PNG) consumption by maximizing the usage of Renewable Resources, optimizing the Manufacturing Processes, Improving the Production capacity of Equipment's, Upgrading Equipment's that uses lower Energy, etc. These sustainability initiatives not only help to provide the competitive Edge to the competitors but also improve the bottom line of the organization.
Energy conservation is the need of the hour to stay in the competitive world and is the way of doing Business. It improves the overall productivity and profitability to compete in the Business. It helps to open up the opportunities for innovation and improved eff iciency, while reducing risks arising from price volatility and helping us manage natural resources.
The Company has taken several initiatives across production Blocks and utilities to boost its energy eff iciency in order to achieve its commitment towards reducing absolute energy consumption and moreover specific energy consumption of various products in terms of SPC (Specific Power consumption) and SFC (Specific Fuel consumption). Company's Energy management system is certified with ISO 50001: 2018.
Below mentioned are few major Initiatives that the Company undertook and implemented successfully to realize the financial benefits during the financial year 2022-23.

1. Reduction in Chiller Load with the installation of CLCT:

Uflex also off ers biodegradable packaging solutions that break down into harmless components like water, biomass, and carbon, when in contact with soil, thereby addressing concerns related to uncollected plastic waste .
Social responsibility and community development are integral parts of Uflex's ethos. The company's social awareness campaigns emphasize the importance of understanding plastic's role in the circular economy and underscore the need for collective action to manage plastic waste .

4. Has the entity implemented a mechanism for Zero Liquid Discharge? If yes, provide details of its coverage and implementation.
Yes, the entity has implemented a mechanism for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) in several business segments.
In the aseptic liquid packaging unit, the company has successfully achieved Zero Liquid Discharge. This is made possible through the establishment of their own Eff luent Treatment Plant (ETP) and Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The treated water from these facilities is eff ectively reused for gardening and toilet flushing, ensuring responsible water management practices. Similarly, the engineering segment has also adopted ZLD measures. The treated water from their ETP is reused for purposes such as toilet flushing and scrubbers, minimizing water consumption and promoting sustainable practices. Within the chemicals segment, a dedicated unit has been set up for Zero Liquid Discharge with a capacity of 50 KLD (Kiloliters per day). The recycled water from the ZLD unit constitutes 25% of the total water consumption on-site, showcasing a significant reduction in water usage. Lastly, in the flexible packaging business segment, Zero Liquid Discharge practices are followed. The wastewater is treated through an ETP and STP, and the treated water is then reused for gardening, ensuring a closed-loop water management system. By implementing ZLD measures across multiple business segments, the entity aims to minimize water wastage and reduce its environmental footprint.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of UFlex Limited
Report On The Audit Of The Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of UFlex Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, and the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinaft er referred to as "the Standalone Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of aff airs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its profit, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is suff icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the note 41 of the standalone financial statements which states that the Income Tax Department initiated search proceedings on the Company under section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the month of February 2023. Since the outcome of the proceedings is pending and uncertain, impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements is currently unascertainable.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report but does not include the standalone and consolidated 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
hence identified as Key Audit Matter.

statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating eff ectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalonefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suff icient 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 standalone financial statements in place and the operating eff ectiveness 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 the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the current year and are therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matter
The standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2022, were audited by another firm of chartered accountants along with one of the joint statutory auditors of the Company i.e. MSKA & Associates, vide their unmodified audit report dated May 28, 2022.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements of UFlex Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating eff ectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the internal control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) (the "Guidance Note").
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating eff ectively for ensuring the orderly and eff icient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by ICAI and Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated eff ectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and their operating eff ectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating eff ectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suff icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements.


Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements
A Company's internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material eff ect on the standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

II. Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Preperation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Aff airs (MCA), the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. Financial statements of the company are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as mentioned in applicable accounting policies.
B. (i) Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions aff ect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could diff er from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on going concern basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision aff ects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision aff ects both current and future.
(ii) Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Company accounting policies, which are described as above, the management of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 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. Actual results may diff er from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that the management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant eff ect on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements:-
Useful lives of depreciable assets
116
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. As at the current year end, management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Company. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.

Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other postemployment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may diff er from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Provision and contingent liability
On an ongoing basis, Company reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Contingent losses that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent gain are not recognized until the contingency has been resolved and amounts are received or receivable.
Impairment of financial and non-financial assets
The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based in Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The Company assesses the investment in equity instrument of subsidiary companies and unquoted preference shares carried at cost/amortised cost for impairment testing, by comparing carrying value with recoverable value, adopting DCF model for arriving value in use etc.
Impairment of Non – Financial Assets exists when the carrying value of an asset or Cash Generating Unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's-length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.
C. REVENUES
Revenues from sale of goods and processing
Revenue from the sale of goods and processing of material (Job Work) in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, rate diff erences and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized at point of time which generally coincides with the delivery of products, representing transfer of control to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing eff ective control over the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The timing of transfer of control normally happens upon shipment. Export sales are recognised on the date when shipped on board as per terms of sale and are recorded at the relevant exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. However, in case of consignment sales to agents revenues are recognized when the materials are sold to ultimate customers.
Further, revenues are recognized at gross value of consideration of goods & processing of goods excluding Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Revenue from Services
Revenue from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed and revenue from the services at the end of the reporting period is recognized based on stage of completion method. When there is uncertainty as to the ultimate collection of the revenue, recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Revenues from service contracts are measured based on the services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed. In case where the services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the specified period. Aft er the initial recognition, in

respect of uncollectible amount, provisions are made in the period in which amount is identified as uncollectible.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on time apportionment basis. Eff ective interest method is used to compute the interest income on long terms loans and advances.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (PPE)

H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Initial Recognition:
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value

on initial recognition, except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value exceeds benefits, which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities through statement of profit & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction cost directly attributed to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through statement of profit & loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profit & loss.
Subsequent Recognition:
Non-derivative financial instruments
- (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it 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 Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments (all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.
Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock exchange wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of reporting. In respect of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest audited financial statements and considering the open market information available, failing which it shall be measured at cost.
- (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss: A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently fair valued through profit and loss.
- (iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the eff ective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
- (v) Investment in Subsidiaries/Joint ventures / Associates: Investment in subsidiaries / Joint Ventures / Associates are carried at cost less impairment, if any, in the separate financial statements.

Subsequent to initial measurement, financial liabilities viz borrowings are measured at amortized cost. The diff erence in the initial carrying amount of the financial liabilities and their redemption value is recognized in the statement of profit & loss over the contractual term using the eff ective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they are payable within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the company is discharged from its obligation; they expire, are cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modified terms.
J. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the company to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the company aft er adjusting the eff ect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted average number of equity shares that could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.
K. TAXATION
Current Tax
Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are off set where the company has legal enforceable right to off set and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary diff erences and is calculated based on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to off set.
Current and Deferred Tax for the Year

- b. Liability in respect of Defined Long Term benefit plan is determined at the present value of the amounts payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit methods. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gain and losses, the eff ects of assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on

plan assets (excluding interest), are reflected immediately in the statement of Financial Position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past Service cost is recognized in the statement of profit & loss in the period of plan amendment.

- d. Liabilities for short term employee benefits are measured at undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which the related service is rendered.
M. IMPAIRMENT
Financial assets

Loss allowance on trade receivables, with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss for the period.
Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into Cash Generating Units (CGUs).
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to disposal 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit & loss if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years.
N. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
A provision is recognized, if as a result of past event the company has present legal or constructive obligations that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in control of the company.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However due disclosures are made in the financial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefits is probable and amount can be estimated reliably.
O. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Unsettled Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date, are translated using the exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss resulting from the translation is recognized in the statement of profit & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured carried at fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.
Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in determining the net profit for the period in which transaction is settled.
Exchanges diff erence arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production, are capitalized to the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant & equipment.
P. LEASES
The Company as a Lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment and vehicles. 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 of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether 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 (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 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 includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU 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. ROU 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. ROU 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 rates of the Company. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.

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 other leases are classified as operating leases.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease
Q. BORROWING COST
Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange diff erences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying /eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.
R. OPERATING SEGEMENTS
Operating segments are defined as components of the Company: (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company),(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's designated individual chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Management has chosen to organise the Company, around diff erences in business activities/ customer base/ products belonging to diff erent industry, having diff erent economic characteristics and not on the basis of geographical areas, looking to the practical impediments. Accordingly the Company has identified following reportable segments, viz. Flexible packaging activities, Engineering activities and others (Unallocable). All directly attributable revenue and expenses and expenses which can be allocated to segments, are reported under each reportable segment. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments, are shown under Other (Unallocable). Company has identified assets and liabilities to each reportable segment.

| Interest rate | 7.48% P.A. | 6.8% P.A. | |
| Estimated rate of return on plan assets | 7.48% P.A. | 6.8% P.A. | |
The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company's defined benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2023. The Company is expected to contribute Rs.877.27 lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2024.
The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.
If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by Rs.247.56 Lacs (increase by Rs.264.78 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.
If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.264.02 Lacs (decrease by Rs.248.18 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of Subsidiaries, Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of their consolidated state of aff airs of the Group its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities as at March 31, 2023, of their Consolidated Profit, Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Changes in Equity and its Consolidated Cash Flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suff icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the note 40 of the consolidated financial statement which states the Income Tax Department initiated search proceedings on the Holding Company under section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the month of February 2023. Since the outcome of the proceedings is pending and uncertain, impact, if any, on the Consolidated Financial Statements is currently unascertainable.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 (current year). These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Holding Company's Management and its Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information, included in the Holding Company's annual report but does not include the standalone and 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company's Management and 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 including Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Cash Flows of the Group including its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group, its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating eff ectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and the Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group, Associate or Jointly Controlled Entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities .
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing ("SAs") will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suff icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and an Associate, which are companies incorporated in India, have internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements in place and the operating eff ectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain suff icient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the current year 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.

The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and Associate, incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements
A company's internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material eff ect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Other Matter
Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating eff ectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements insofar as it relates to a Subsidiary and Associate, incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of auditors of such Subsidiary and Associate.

Notes on the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2023
1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Preperation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Aff airs (MCA), the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. Financial statements of the group are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as mentioned in applicable accounting policies.
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR). Amount has been rounded off to nearest lacs.
B. Basis and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise those of UFLEX Limited and its aff iliated companies (the Group).
Companies which the group controls are fully consolidated from the date at which the Group obtains the control over the entity. The Group controls the entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the company and has ability to aff ect those returns through its power over the company. The Group holds either full or majority of voting rights in the companies which are controlled.
The financial statements of the Group Companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, subject to regrouping & netting of certain items, which present the consolidation in a fair manner without aff ecting the materiality, aft er eliminating the intra-group transactions and also unrealized profit or losses resulting from intra-group transactions included in the carrying amount of assets. The group financial statements are prepared by adopting uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as that of holding company's financial statements. Non-controlling interest which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Group, are excluded. The excess / short amount of investment of the Group over its share in the net assets of the respective aff iliates is recognized as Goodwill or Capital Reserve in the financial statement.
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control. Investments in the associate companies have been accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profit & loss of the investee aft er the date of acquisition. The Groups investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
Joint Ventures are entities over which the Group has joint control. Investments in the joint venture have been accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profit & loss of the investee aft er the date of acquisition.

Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Where not all of the equity of a Acquiree is acquired the non-controlling interests are recognized at the non-controlling interest share in net identifiable assets of the Acquiree. Upon obtaining control in a business combination achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest at fair value and recognizes a gain or a loss to the other comprehensive income.
All the figures of assets, liabilities, revenue & expenses of subsidiaries, which are stated in foreign currency in its separate financial statements, are converted into Indian Rupees in accordance with the Ind AS 21 on "The Eff ects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates".
C. (I) Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions aff ect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could diff er from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on going concern basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision aff ects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision aff ects both current and future.

(II) Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation
UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group accounting policies, which are described as below, the management of the Group are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 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. Actual results may diff er from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that the management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant eff ect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:-
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. As at the current year end, management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.
Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other postemployment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may diff er from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Provision and contingent liability
On an ongoing basis, Group reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Contingent losses that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent gain are not recognized until the contingency has been resolved and amounts are received or receivable.
Impairment of financial and non-financial assets
The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based in Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment of Non – Financial Assets exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's-length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.
D. Revenues
Revenues from sale of goods and processing
Revenue from the sale of goods and processing of material (Job Work ) in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, rate diff erences and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized at point of time, which generally coincides with the

dispatch of products, representing transfer of control to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing eff ective control over the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The timing of transfer of control normally happens upon shipment. Export sales are recognized on the date when shipped on board as per terms of sale and are recorded at the relevant exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. However, in case of consignment sales to agents revenues are recognized when the materials are sold to ultimate customers.
Further, revenues are recognized at gross value of consideration of goods & processing of goods excluding Goods and Service Tax (GST).
Revenue from Services
Revenue from the service contract is recognized when the related services are performed and revenue from the services at the end of the reporting period is recognized based on stage of completion method. When there is uncertainty as to the ultimate collection of the revenue, recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Revenues from service contracts are measured based on the services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed. In case where the services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the specified period. Aft er the initial recognition, in respect of uncollectible amount, provisions are made in the period in which amount is identified as uncollectible.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on time apportionment basis. Eff ective interest method is used to compute the interest income on long terms loans and advances.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
E. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
Recognition and measurement:
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost aft er deducting refundable purchase taxes and including the cost directly attributable to bring the asset to the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management, borrowing cost in accordance with the established accounting policy, cost of restoring and dismantling, if any, initially estimated by the management. Aft er the initial recognition the property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Cost of Self-constructed assets is determined using the same principles as for acquired assets aft er eliminating the component of internal profits.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
In respect of Holding Company & a subsidiary company incorporated in India, depreciation on all property, plant & equipment are provided for, from the date of put to use for commercial production on straight line method at the useful lives prescribed in Schedule-II to the Companies Act, 2013 & in respect of Group Companies incorporated outside India, useful life of Property, Plant & Equipment, is estimated as per respective local GAAP, except for the followings, where the management of the Holding Company / Group believes that technical useful lives is diff erent from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or respective local GAAP, based on technical evaluation, past experience, uses and nature:

| Particulars | Description | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rotogravure Cylinders & Shims (useful life of 3Years ) | Over the useful life as technically specified by themanagement based on the past experience | |||||
| Continuous process Plant for Packaging Film(useful life of 20 Years) | Over the useful life as technically specified by themanagement based on the past experience | |||||

| Off ice Equipment (useful life of 3 to 6 years) | Over the useful life as specified by the management basedon the past experience, usage and nature. | |||||
| Furniture & fixtures (useful life of 1 to 10 years) | Over the useful life as specified by the management basedon the past experience, usage and nature. | |||||
| Vehicles (useful life of 5 to 8 years) | Over the useful life as specified by the management basedon the past experience, usage and nature. | |||||
| Aircraft (useful life of 20 years) | Over the useful life as technically specified by themanagement based on the past experience |
Cost of leasehold land are written-off over the primary lease period of the land expect of the leasehold land, held by the Group on the date of transition, which is amortised over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Freehold land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end and the eff ect of any change is accounted for on prospective basis.
The carrying amount of all property, plant and equipment are derecognized on its disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal and the gain or loss on de-recognition is recognized in the statement of profit & loss.
Reclassification to investment property:
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.
F. Intangible Assets
Acquired Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost aft er deducting refundable purchase taxes and including the transaction cost, if any. Aft er initial recognition intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets in respect of Product development is created when the technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the product / technology and the cost is reliably measurable. Revenue expenditures pertaining to Research is charged to the statement of profit & loss. Development costs of products are charged to the statement of profit & loss unless a products technological and commercial feasibility has been established in which case such expenditure is capitalized. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Intangibles assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, from the date they are available for use, as per period prescribed in respective license/ agreement or five years.
Intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from continuing use or disposal.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year end and the eff ect of any change is accounted for on prospective basis.

G. Investment Properties
Investment properties are initially recognized at cost aft er deducting refundable purchase taxes and including the transaction cost, if any. Aft er initial recognition the investment properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Transfer to and from the investment properties are made when and only when, there is change in the use of the investment property as evidenced by the conditions laid down under the Indian accounting standard. The carrying amount of the property as on the date of classification is considered as carrying value of the investment property and vice-versa.
Depreciation on investment properties are provided for, from the date of put to use on straight line method at the useful lives prescribed in Schedule-II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The carrying amount of the investment properties are derecognized on its disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal and the gain or loss on de-recognition is recognized in the statement of profit & loss.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end and the eff ect of any change is accounted for on prospective basis.
The fair value of the investment properties are disclosed in the notes.
H. Inventories
Inventories of finished goods and work in progress are valued at lower of cost, based on weighted average method, (except in case of machine manufacturing where specific identification method is used) arrived aft er including depreciation on plant & machinery, electrical installation, right to use assets and factory building, repair & maintenance on factory building, specific manufacturing expenses including specific payments & benefits to employees or net realizable value.
Raw Materials and other materials including packaging, stores and fuels are valued at lower of cost, based on first-in-first-out method arrived at aft er including freight inward and other expenditure directly attributable to acquisition or net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and sales.
I. Financial Instruments
Initial Recognition:
The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value exceeds benefits, which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities through statement of profit & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction cost directly attributed to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through statement of profit & loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profit & loss.
Subsequent Recognition:
Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it 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 (all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.
Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock exchange wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of reporting. In respect of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest audited financial statements and considering the open market information available, failing which it shall be measured at cost.
- (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
- (iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the eff ective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
- (v) Derivative financial instruments: The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised through profit or loss.
J. Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction cost.
Subsequent to initial measurement, financial liabilities viz borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The diff erence in the initial carrying amount of the financial liabilities and their redemption value is recongised in the statement of profit & loss over the contractual term using the eff ective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are further classified as current and non-current depending whether they are payable within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Group is discharged from its obligation; they expire, are cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modified terms.
K. Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Group to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Group aft er adjusting the eff ect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted average number of equity shares that could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.
L. Taxation
Current Tax
Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are off set where the Group has legal enforceable right to off set and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary diff erences and is calculated based on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to off set and when the deferred tax balances relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on diff erent tax entities, but the Group intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary diff erences relating to:
- initial recognition of goodwill;
- initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that aff ects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and
- Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary diff erence and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and Deferred Tax for the Year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit & loss, except when they relates to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax is recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity as the case may be.
M. Employee Benefits
The Group provides for the various benefits plans to the employees. These are categorized into Defined Benefits Plans and Defined Contributions Plans. Defined contribution plans includes the amount paid by the Group towards the liability for employees benefits plans notified / enacted by the competent authority and defined benefits plans includes the retirement benefits, such as gratuity and paid absences (leave benefits) both accumulated and non-accumulated.
- a. In respect Defined Contribution Plans, contribution made to the specified fund based on the services rendered by the employees are charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which services are rendered by the employee.
- b. Liability in respect of Defined Long Term benefit plan is determined at the present value of the amounts payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit methods. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gain and losses, the eff ects of assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are reflected immediately in the statement of Financial Position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past Service cost is recognized in the statement of profit & loss in the period of plan amendment.
- c. Liabilities for accumulating paid absences is determined at the present value of the amounts payable determined using the actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain or losses in respect of accumulating paid absences are charged to statement of profit & loss account.
- d. Liabilities for short term employee benefits are measured at undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and charged to Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which the related service is rendered.

N. Government Grants
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Grants received as part of package of financial aids to which the number of condition are attached, the grant is initially recognized as liability and proportionately transferred to the Reserves on fulfillment of the conditions attached to it.
Grants received as part of investment in the specific fixed asset is reduced from the Cost of that asset at the time of receipt of the Grant.
Revenue Grants are recognized in the statement of Profit & Loss.
O. Impairment
Financial assets
The Group recognizes the impairment on financial assets based on the expected credit loss model for the financial assets which are not fair value through statement of profit and loss. Loss allowance on trade receivables, with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss for the period.
Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into cash generating units (CGUs).
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to disposal 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit & loss if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years.
P. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities And Contingent Assets
A provision is recognized, if as a result of past event the Group has present legal or constructive obligations that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in control of the Group.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However due disclosures are made in the financial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefits is probable and amount can be estimated reliably.

Q. Foreign Currency Transactions
Functional Currency
The Holding Company functional currency is Indian Rupees. The consolidated financial statement of the Group is presented in Indian rupees rounded off to nearest lacs.
Transaction and Translations
Transactions in currency other than respective functional currencies are recorded at the rate, as declared by the authorities / inter-bank rates, ruling on the date of transaction.
Unsettled Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date, are translated using the exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss resulting from the translation is recognized in the statement of profit & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured carried at fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.
Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in determining the net profit for the period in which transaction is settled.
Exchanges diff erence arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production, are capitalized to the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant & equipment.
R. Leases
The Group as a lessee
The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment's and vehicles. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified 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 (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 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 straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU 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. ROU 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. ROU 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 rates of the Group. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an

extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.
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.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease
S. Borrowing Cost
Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange diff erences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying / eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred
T. Operating Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of the Group: (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group),(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Holding Company's designated individual chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Management has chosen to organise the Group, around diff erences in business activities/ customer base/ products belonging to diff erent industry, having diff erent economic characteristics and not on the basis of geographical areas, looking to the practical impediments. Accordingly the Group has identified the following reportable segments, viz. Flexible packaging activities, Engineering activities and others (Unallocable). All directly attributable revenue and expenses and expenses which can be allocated to segments, are reported under each reportable segment. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments, are shown under Other (Unallocable). Group has identified assets and liabilities to each reportable segment.
U. Standards (Including Amendments) Issued But Not Yet Aff ective
Ministry of Corporate Aff airs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:

36: Defined Benefit Plan
a) Gratuity
The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The additional disclosure in terms of Indian Accounting Standard-(Ind AS)-19, "Employee Benefits", is as under:

| Interest rate | 7.48% P.A. | 6.8% P.A. | |
| Estimated rate of return on plan assets | 7.48% P.A. | 6.8% P.A. |
The expected benefits increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company's defined
benefit plan obligations as at 31st March 2023. The Company is expected to contribute Rs. 877.27 lacs to defined benefits plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2024.
The significant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.
If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would decrease by Rs.247.56 Lacs (increase by Rs.264.78 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.
If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit plan obligations would increase by Rs.264.02 Lacs (decrease by Rs.248.18 Lacs) as at 31st March 2023.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.
