MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
GLOBAL ECONOMY
India is the fastest growing major economy in the world according to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook Update – July 2025. The IMF projects that India’s economy will grow at 6.7% in 2025 and 6.4% in 2026. In terms of GDP, India is currently the world’s fifth largest economy, and is expected to surpass Japan to become the fourth largest in 2025, with a nominal GDP of USD 4.187 trillion. It is slated to become the third largest in the coming years.
Occupying the second position is China. China is the world’s second fastest growing major economy with a projected GDP growth rate of 4.0% in 2025, revised downward from earlier estimates.
INDIAN ECONOMY
For the current fiscal year 2024–25, India’s nominal GDP at current prices is estimated at approximately ₹330.68 lakh crores (about US$ 3.96 trillion), rising from the previous year’s revised figure of ₹301.23 lakh crores (around US$ 3.60 trillion). The estimated nominal GDP growth rate for 2024–25 stands at 9.8%, reflecting continued strong expansion though slightly moderating from the 13.9% nominal growth seen in 2023–24. These figures highlight India’s ongoing economic momentum, supported by resilient domestic demand and robust investment, keeping the country firmly ranked as the world’s fifth-largest economy
India’s export sector displayed robust performance in April–June 2025, with total exports of goods and services reaching US$ 210.31 billion, reflecting a 5.94% increase over the previous year. Merchandise exports accounted for US$ 112.17 billion, and services exports marked a strong rise to US$ 98.13 billion. The period saw significant growth in electronic goods exports, which surged by nearly 47% year-on-year, alongside steady gains in pharmaceuticals and moderate improvement in engineering goods. The leading export categories by share included mineral fuels (nearly 20%), electrical machinery and equipment (almost 9%), and engineering goods, followed by consistent contributions from pharmaceuticals and marine products. This export momentum, supported by favorable domestic factors, contributed to resilient GDP growth.
In the second half of FY25, India’s GDP expansion is being propelled primarily by strong domestic demand for both consumption and investment, combined with the government’s sustained emphasis on capital expenditure and infrastructure projects. The construction and real estate sectors have shown particularly strong growth on the back of large-scale infrastructure investments. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector rebounded due to a favorable monsoon, while services and financial sectors continued their upward trend, underpinned by rising employment, positive consumer sentiment, improved tax collections, and record foreign direct investment. Despite global trade challenges and some softness in manufacturing, these combined domestic and external drivers have positioned India to maintain GDP growth in the 6.5–7% range for FY25, confirming its resilience as one of the world’s fastest-growing large economies.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Industry accounts for 30.8% of India’s GDP and employs over 12.3 crore people. In 2024–25, the industrial sector is estimated to grow by 6.2%. The increase in the capital expenditure of the central government in the post-pandemic period has crowded in investment from the private sector, which has provided a stimulus to industrial growth. The sector has been helped by pent-up demand, export stimulus, and strengthening of corporate balance sheets.

==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
The importance of electronics manufacturing has been increasing. India aims to achieve USD 300 billion in electronics manufacturing with USD 120 billion in exports by 2026. High growth on both fronts indicates that India is on track to achieve these targets. Production-linked incentive schemes will help attain economies of scale in domestic production of electronics goods.
UNCTAD joined hands with seven global, regional and national associations representing over 7,000 special economic zones (SEZs) to launch a global alliance on 17 May 2025. SEZs are geographically delimited areas within which governments promote industrial activity through fiscal and regulatory incentives and infrastructure support.
During FY25, more than one-fourth of all India cargo volumes was routed through APSEZ ports. This significant contribution by APSEZ underscores its active role in driving India’s growth trajectory. It also shows that India’s largest port operator comfortably surpassed its cargo volume guidance of 390 MMT – 410 MMT provided at the start of the financial year.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION – THE LONGTERM OPPORTUNITY
Increase in infrastructure investment provides a critical push to the potential growth of the economy. The central government has given increased impetus to infrastructure development and investment in recent years when capital expenditure by the private sector has been subdued. Capital expenditure in 2025–26 is targeted at ₹11.11 lakh crore, up 11.1% from ₹10 lakh crore in 2024–25.
To sustain the investment drive, the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) has provided a forwardlooking roadmap of investible projects of around ₹102 lakh crore between 2019–20 and 2024–25. Currently, the NIP has 13,995 projects with a total investment of more than ₹225 lakh crore under different stages of implementation. The transport sector constitutes more than half of these projects.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
VSF Projects (VSFPROJ.) is one of India’s leading companies with a history of 30 years. Over this span, the company built strong capabilities and established widespread credentials for success of project delivery across wide spectrum of sectors within the infrastructure industry. It is this pedigree that has helped the Company re-invents itself to meet the challenges of different times and deliver value to all stake-holders.
The Company’s core business is providing Engineering & Construction services for large projects across sectors like Power (Thermal, Solar), Transportation (Roads, Bridges etc.) Water (Irrigation and water supply) and Industrial Projects.
OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
Infrastructure Industry:
The continued trust on infrastructure projects including highways / express ways and Power will bring lot of opportunities for India and your Company.
General:
According to Survey, India’s economic growth in FY 2025 has been principally led by private consumption and capital formation and they have helped generate employment as seen in the declining urban unemployment rate and in the faster net registration in Employee Provident Fund. Still, private capex soon needs to take up the leadership role to put job creation on a fast track.
It also points out that the upside to India’s growth outlook arises from (i) limited health and economic fallout for the rest of the world from the earlier surge in Covid-19 infections in China and, therefore,
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
36
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
continued normalization of supply chains; (ii) inflationary impulses from the reopening of China’s economy turning out to be neither significant nor persistent; (iii) recessionary tendencies in major Advanced Economies (AEs) triggering a cessation of monetary tightening and a return of capital flows to India amidst a stable domestic inflation rate below 5.4 per cent; and (iv) this leading to an improvement in animal spirits and providing further impetus to private sector investment.
The Survey says, the credit growth to the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has been remarkably high, over 29.8 per cent, on average during Jan-Nov 2024, supported by the extended Emergency Credit Linked Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) of the Union government. It adds that the recovery of MSMEs is proceeding apace, as is evident in the amounts of Goods and Services Tax (GST) they pay, while the Emergency Credit Linked Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) is easing their debt servicing concerns.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To The Members of VSFPROJECTS LIMITED
Report on Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of VSF PROJECTS LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its profit, total comprehensive income, the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters (‘KAM’) are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
65
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 are no material misstatements of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance 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.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
66
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of VSF PROJECTS LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
70
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. General Information
VSF Projects Limited (the company) is engaged in Construction and Infrastructure development and Execution. The Company is setting up of a multi-product FTWZ at Anakalapatur Village, SPSR Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh over an area of 50Ha (132.96 Acres) . The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Anakalapatur Village, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh. The Company has its primary listings on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation and presentation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of VSF Projects Limited (“VSF” or “the Company”) have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 , as amended and as per other relevant provisions of the Act. The presentation of financial statements is based upon Ind AS Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis. All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current based on the operating cycle of less than twelve months or based on the criteria of realization /settlement within twelve months period from the balance sheet date.
B. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, the areas involving critical estimates or Judgments are:
i) Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization is based on management estimates of the future useful lives of certain class of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
80
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
ii) Provision and contingencies
Provisions and contingencies are based on the Management’s best estimate of the liabilities based on the facts known at the balance sheet date.
iii) Fair valuation
Fair value is the market based measurement of observable market transaction or available market information.
- C. Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is also the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest rupees.
- D. Current and noncurrent classification
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or noncurrent as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013and Ind AS 1, and Presentation of financial statements.
Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
-
It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
-
It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
-
It is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
-
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current assets/ liabilities include the current portion of noncurrent assets/ liabilities respectively. All other assets/ liabilities are classified as noncurrent. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always disclosed as non-current

Material Accounting Policies
1) Property Plant & Equipment
The company has elected revaluation model as its accounting policy for accounting its property, plant and equipment.
After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations is made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. If an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase should be recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. However, the increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss.
If an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognized in profit or loss. However, the decrease shall be recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. The decrease recognized in other comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 (“Schedule”), which prescribes the useful lives for various classes of tangible assets. For assets acquired or disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro rata basis.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate
The estimated useful lives are as follows:

2) Financial Instrument
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into following categories:
-
Financial Assets at amortized cost
-
Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
-
Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
Impairment of financial assets
Financial Assets at amortised cost
A Financial Asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
-
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
-
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial Assets at FVTOCI
A Financial Asset is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
-
The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
-
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial Assets included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is re-classified to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
83
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
Financial Assets at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for Financial Assets. Any asset, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. These include surplus funds invested in mutual funds.
Impairment of trade receivables
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18. Expected credit loss model takes into consideration the present value of all the cash shortfalls over the expected life of a financial instrument. In simple terms, it is weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as weights. The credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity as per the contract and all the contractual cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted to the effective interest rate. The Standard presumes that entities would suffer credit loss even if the entity expects to be paid in full but later than when contractually due. In other words, it simply focuses on DELAYS in collection of receivables.
For the purpose of identifying the days of delay, the Company took into consideration the weighted average number of delays taking into consideration deviation of receivables turnover ratio from normal credit period.
Investment in Subsidiary:
Following the principles enumerated in Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements, the Company elected to account for its investment in its subsidiary in accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Ind AS 109 requires an entity to measure the investment in equity shares at fair value and recognize the changes in fair value through profit and loss account. However, it also gives an irrevocable option to an entity to recognize the aforesaid changes in fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On the transition date, the Company has elected the irrevocable option to recognize the fair value changes in the equity shares in the subsidiary in Other Comprehensive Income.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily de-recognised (i.e., removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
-
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
84
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognized the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognized an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit and loss
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
3) Inventories
Inventories consist of goods and to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method. Cost includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case Of finished goods and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Stores and spares, that do not qualify to be recognized as property, plant and equipment and consumables which are used in operating machines or consumed as indirect materials in the manufacturing process. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

85
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
4) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, an impairment test is performed each year at March 31,2025.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
5) Cash & Cash Equivalents
Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks,. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
6) Employee Benefit
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed,
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
86
==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.
- 7) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
- 8) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from Construction Contracts
Revenue from Construction contracts is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Income Tax
Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between 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 to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference 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.
10) Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
11) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
12) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.25 Property, Plant and Equipment:
The company has elected revaluation model as its accounting policy for accounting it’s property, plant and equipment.
After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations is made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period.
If an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase should be recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. Assets remained at their carrying amounts as no revaluation was performed during the year."
2.26 Investments:
Ind AS 109 requires an entity to measure the investment in equity shares at fair value and recognize the changes in fair value through profit and loss account. However, it also gives an irrevocable option to an entity to recognise the aforesaid changes in fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”).Accordingly the company has no Investments during the year as there is material uncertainty in respect ability to continue as going concern.
2.27 Financial Risk Management:
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and Market risk. The Company’s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Board of Directors, risk management committee and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk assessment and management policies and processes.
Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals,

==> picture [507 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade Receivables -The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
