drastically which has resulted in overall reduction in the Company’s performance in all the units. The Company had imported and

sluggishness in demand resulting in reduction in per unit price for power. The operational performance of Soya Unit is satisfactory.
There has been decrease in the selling price of soya products resulting in reduction in the average realisation. There is no change
in the nature of business during the financial year and until the date of this report.
SUGAR DIVISION
The quantum of sugarcane crushed at various units of the Company during the year 2017-18 is as under:
Name of the Unit Cane crushed (in MT)
Sakthinagar : 99,173
Sivaganga : 1,48,409
Dhenkanal : 3,01,660
During the year under review, 0.85 lakh MT of sugar was produced by the Company including 0.35 MT out of raw sugar, which

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
A. Industry Structure and Developments:
The annual sugar consumption in India is pegged at 25.0 million MT. However according to Indian Sugar Mills Association
(ISMA), sugar production is estimated to touch a record high at 31.5 million MT in the 2017-18 sugar season (October-
September) and is likely to out balance consumption by around 6 to 6.5 million MT. The excess production along with carry
forward opening balance of 7.0 million tonnes has put sugar mills into pressure on prices and profitability. The sugar prices
had gone down to a low of around Rs. 29,000 per tonne in the first week of February 2018. With the Central Government
initiatives, like doubling of import duty to 100%, imposition of limits on sugar sales by sugar mills, and creation of buffer stock,
sugar prices picked up.
The Central Government’s action regarding scrapping of export duty and allowing export of 2 million MT of sugar under
Minimum Indicative Export Quota Scheme (MIEQ) did not yield any positive result in reducing the surplus condition in the
country as international prices are very much lower than the domestic price. Over production of sugar in all India level
and consequent reduction on sugar realisation has resulted in mounting of sugarcane arrears for 2017-18 season at about
Rs.21,000 crores on all India basis. The effort of the Central Government in directly paying Rs.5.50 per quintal of cane
crushed could not redeem the problem of arrears as the gap between the sugarcane price and the sugar realisation was huge.
B. Opportunities and Threats:
i. Opportunities:
Sugar business is cyclical in nature and is capable of self-adjusting in the long run.
The target of 20% blending of ethanol set in the National Policy on Bio-fuel will help the industry to switch over to
production of ethanol when sugar production exceeds consumption.
Power price upward revision would benefit the Company.
ii. Threats
The profitability of sugar mills is under severe stress on account of higher cane price and cost of production (higher FRP
for the current season) along with the pressure on sugar realisation.
Availability of main raw material sugarcane depends on the behaviour of monsoon. It also gets affected when price for
alternate crops goes up.
C. Segment wise or Product wise Performance:
Segmentwise results are given in the Notes on Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31.3.2018. Productwise
performance is furnished in the Board’s Report.
D. Outlook:
The beginning of south-west monsoon has been good and availability of sugarcane would increase from next season. It is
hoped that the policy of the Central Government on bio-fuel will bring a permanent solution.
E. Risks and Concerns:
Availability of sugarcane for crushing, price of sugar, realisation in sale of sugar and the controls imposed by the Governments
are the major risks faced by the sugar industry. These factors have direct impact on the financial liquidity and profitability of
the Company.
F. Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:
The Company has an in-house internal audit team to ensure that all activities are monitored and controlled. Adequate internal
checks are built-in to cover all monetary and material transactions in the system developed by the Company. The Internal
Audit reports are presented to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis for review and deliberation. The Company Management
has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2018 and found the
same to be adequate and effective.

G. Financial Performance with respect to Operational Performance:
The total revenue for the financial year under review is Rs.54159.70 lakhs (previous year Rs.96382.40 lakhs). The financial
year has ended with net loss of Rs.17710.26 lakhs (previous year net profit of Rs.3034.98 lakhs) after providing Rs.14994.92
lakhs (Rs.14019.81 lakhs) for finance cost and Rs.5281.69 lakhs (Rs.5700.47 lakhs) for depreciation.
H. Material developments in Human Resource/Industrial Relations front, including number of people employed:
The industrial relations at all plants and offices remain cordial. The total number of employees on the rolls of the Company,
including temporary employees and apprentice, was 1517 as at the financial year ended on 31st March 2018. Training
programmes are conducted depending on the needs for updating the knowledge with respect to the developments in the
industry.

To The Members of Sakthi Sugars Limited
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
1. We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of Sakthi Sugars Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

2. 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 Standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state
of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and
changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act.
3. 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 Standalone Ind AS
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
4. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
5. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required
to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
6. We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified
under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
7. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company’s preparation of the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements.
8. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion

9. As per the agreement entered, no interest has been provided on the advance given to the Associate Company. Non-provision
of interest at least to the extent of Interest on Government Securities is in contravention of sub-section (7) of Section 186 of
the Act. Consequential impact of the same on the loss for the year/accumulated loss is not ascertainable. This matter was also
qualified in the report of the predecessor auditor on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017.
Qualified Opinion
10. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effect
of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Paragraph above, the aforesaid Standalone Ind AS 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 (financial position) of the Company as at March 31,
2018, and its loss(financial performance including other comprehensive income),and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.

rationalization of operation, etc. We have relied on the representations made to us by the management. Our opinion is not
modified in this regard.
Other Matters:
12. The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2017 and the transition date opening
Balance Sheet as at April 01, 2016 included in these Standalone Ind AS financial statements, are based on the previously
issued statutory financial statements prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of

ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 dated May 27, 2017 and May 30, 2016 respectively expressed a modified opinion

Annexure - B to the Independent Auditors’ Report

Referred to in paragraph 14(g) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date to the members of Sakthi Sugars Limited on the
standalone Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the
Act’)
1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of M/s. Sakthi Sugars Limited (“the Company”) as of
March 31,2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended
on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’).These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including
adherence to 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.
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section
143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal
Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls
over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. 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 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. 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:
(a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
(b) 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
(c) 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
7. 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.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting
and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, 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.

Significant Accounting Policies:
1.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation:
These financial statements are the separate financial statements of the Company (also called standalone financial statements)
prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013,
read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company had prepared and presented its financial
statements in accordance with Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together
with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (‘Previous GAAP’). Detailed explanation on how the transition from
previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s Balance Sheet, financial performance and cash flows is given under
Note 52.
These financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis
of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair values at the end of each
reporting period, as stated in the accounting policies set out below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently
over all the periods presented in these financial statements.
1.2 Current/Non-Current Classification:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
(a) An asset is treated as current when it is:
(i) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
(ii) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iii) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period
(iv) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
All other assets are classified as non-current.
(b) A liability is current when:
(i) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
(ii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iii) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash
equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1.3 Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses like provision for employee benefits, provision for doubtful

trade receivables/advances/contingencies, provision for warranties, allowance for slow/non-moving inventories, useful life
of Property, Plant and Equipment, provision for taxation, etc., during the reporting year. The Management believes that the
estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results may vary from these
estimates.
1.4 Inventory:
Inventories of raw materials, work-in-progress, stores, finished products and stock-in-trade are valued at the lower of cost or
net realizable value.
Cost is ascertained on seasonal weighted average for sugar and yearly average for stores and soya products.
Soya Bean, Stock-in-trade of fertilizer and newsprint costs are ascertained on FIFO basis.
By-products are valued at net realizable value. Standing crops are valued at net realizable value.
1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment:
Measurement at recognition : Property, plant and equipment assets are carried at cost net of tax / duty credit availed less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to
the acquisition of the items.
Historical cost includes taxes, duties, freight, insurance etc., attributable to acquisition and installation of assets and borrowing
cost incurred upto the date of commencing operations but excludes duties and taxes that are recoverable from taxing
authorities. Indirect expenses during construction period, which are required to bring the asset in the condition for its intended
use by the management and are directly attributable to bringing the asset to its position, are also capitalized.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they
are incurred.
Assets which are not ready for their intended use and capital work-in-progress are carried at cost comprising direct cost,
related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to regard the fair values of all its property, plant and equipment as at
April 01, 2016 as deemed cost in accordance with the stipulation of Ind AS 101 “First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting
Standards”. Refer Note No. 52 for the first-time adoption impact.
Depreciation: Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the useful life in the
manner prescribed in the Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.
Depreciation on addition to assets or on sale/discarding of assets, is calculated on pro-rata from the month of such addition
or up to the month of such sale/discarding, as the case may be.
De-recognition: An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from the continued use of asset.
Gains and losses on disposals or retirement of assets are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These
are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.6 Intangible assets
Measurement at recognition: Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible
assets arising on acquisition of business are measured at fair value as at date of acquisition. Internally generated intangibles
including research cost are not capitalized and the related expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Amortization: Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortized on straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic
life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The
amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at the end of each
financial year. If any of these estimations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an
accounting estimate.
Derecognition: The carrying amount of an intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset and is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

1.7 Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer
returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
a) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are despatched, and titles have passed, at which time all
the following conditions are satisfied:
i) The company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
ii) The company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership
nor effective control over the goods sold;
iii) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
iv) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and
v) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
b) Dividend and interest income:
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established
(provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be
measured reliably).
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company
and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the
principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
c) Insurance Claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/ expected to be admitted and to the extent that the
amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
d) Export Benefits:
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving
the same.
e) Rental Income:
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included
in revenue in the Statement of Profit or Loss due to its operating nature.
1.8 Foreign Currency Transactions:
On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are recorded in the functional currency
(i.e. Indian Rupees), by applying to the foreign currency amount, the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and
the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled
during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are translated at the closing exchange rates. Non-monetary items that
are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is measured.
Exchange differences arising out of these translations are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.9 Employee Benefits:
a) Short Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee
benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Company
recognizes the undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services
rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.

b) Post-Employment Benefits:
i) Defined Contribution plans:
Defined contribution plans are employee provident fund and employee state insurance scheme for all applicable
employees and superannuation scheme for eligible employees.
Recognition and measurement of defined contribution plans:
The Company recognizes contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as an expense in the Statement of
Profit and Loss when the employees render services to the Company during the reporting period. If the contribution
payable for services received from employees before the reporting date exceeds the contributions already paid, the
deficit payable is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already
paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the reporting date, the excess is recognized as an
asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
ii) Defined Benefit plans
Gratuity: Liabilities with regard to the gratuity benefits payable in future are determined by actuarial valuation at
each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized
in other comprehensive income and shall not be reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in a subsequent
period.
Leave encashment / Compensated absences: The Company provides for the encashment of leave with pay subject
to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment /
availment. The liability is provided based on the number of days of unutilized leave at each Balance Sheet date
on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in the other comprehensive income
1.10 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (‘CODM’) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments of the Company.
1.11 Non-Current Assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a
sale rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that
significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified
as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less cost
to sell. Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized.
1.12 Investment in Associate Company
The Company has elected to recognize its investments in Associate Company at cost in accordance with the option available
in Ind AS 27, ‘Separate Financial Statements. Provision for diminution, if any, in the value of investments is made to recognise
a decline in value, other than temporary.
1.13 Government Grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company
recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants
whose primary condition is that the company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are
recognised as deferred revenue in the Balance Sheet and transferred to Statement of Profit or Loss on a systematic and
rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving
immediate financial support to the company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which
they become receivable.
In respect of government loans at below-market rate of interest existing on the date of transition, the Company has availed
the optional exemption under Ind AS 101 - First Time Adoption and has not recognised the corresponding benefit of the
government loan at below-market interest rate as Government grant.
1.14 Current Tax and Deferred Tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the Balance Sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities
and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where
the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit, which is equal to the excess of MAT (calculated in accordance with provisions of
Section 115JB of the Income tax Act, 1961) over normal income-tax is recognized as an item in deferred tax asset by crediting
the Statement of Profit and Loss only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will be able to
avail the said credit against normal tax payable during the period of fifteen succeeding assessment years.
1.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders and assumed conversion by the weighted
average number of common shares and potential common shares from outstanding stock options.
1.16 Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets/cash generating units are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company’s assets. If any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by
discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication
that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased such
reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.17 Provisions and Contingencies
The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the
amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognized as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is
not recognized because it is probable that an outflow of resources will not be required to settle the obligation. However, if the
possibility of outflow of resources, arising out of present obligation, is remote, it is not even disclosed as contingent liability.
A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot
be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the notes to

financial statements. A contingent asset is not recognized in financial statements, however, the same is disclosed where an
inflow of economic benefit is probable.
1.18 Leases
a) Company as Lessee
The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancelable in
nature. The lease rentals under such agreements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the terms of
the lease.
Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease or
based on the time pattern of user benefit basis. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected
general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in
the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense
in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability.
The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on straight-line basis, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are
consumed.
b) Company as Lessor
The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancellable in
nature. The lease rentals under such agreements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the terms
of the lease. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on straight-line basis over the term of the
relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate
for the Company’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits
accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
1.19 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortisation of ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and
the exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost. General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended
use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets
is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.20 Financial Instrument
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value
through Statement of Profit and Loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities are recognised at fair value through profit and loss are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
a) Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, investments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
i) Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
ii) Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
iii) Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based
on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash
flow model, which involve various judgements and assumptions.
b) Financial Assets
i) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
ii) Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement: Debt instruments are measured at amortised cost.
iii) De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of the group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised primarily when:
(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(b) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset
iv) Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets and credit risk exposure that are debt instruments, and are
measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it
recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of
a financial instrument. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original
Effective Interest Rate (EIR). When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
(a) All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over
the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial
instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the
financial instrument.

(b) Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio
of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected
life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical
observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the Statement of Profit
and Loss. The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is that in the case of financial assets
measured as at amortised cost, ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of
those assets in the Balance Sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off
criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis
of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant
increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
c) Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognised 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.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) 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 other comprehensive
income (OCI). These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer
the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the
Statement of Profit or Loss.
iii) De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-
recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
1.21 Events after Reporting date
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting
period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date
of material size or nature are only disclosed.
1.22 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise of cash on hand, demand deposits with Banks, other short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.23 Cash flow Statement:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of
non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
1.24 Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest Lakh with two decimals, as
per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
1.25 Recent accounting pronouncements

47 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
A. Defined contribution plans
The Company makes Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions which
are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a
specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised Rs.307.52 Lakhs (year ended
March 31, 2017: Rs.327.52 lakhs) for Provident Fund contributions, Rs.46.85 Lakhs (year ended March 31, 2017:
Rs.31.36 lakhs) for Superannuation Fund contributions and Rs.12.73 Lakhs (year ended March 31, 2017: Rs.8.94 lakhs)
for Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the financial year ended 31st
March 2018. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the Schemes.

B. Defined benefit plans : Gratuity

In respect of Gratuity plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined
benefit obligation were carried out as at March 31, 2018 by Mr.Srinivasan Nagasubramanian, Fellow of the Institute of
Actuaries of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past
service cost, were measured using the projected unit cost method. The following table sets forth the status of the Gratuity
Plan of the Company and the amount recognised in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company
provides the gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC).
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest rate risk : The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in
an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability
(as shown in financial statements).
Investment risk : The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relate to the expected return on any particular
investment.
Salary escalation risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary
increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from
the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
Demographic risk : The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The
Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.

Average remaining working life 11.76 12.13
Mortality (IALM (2006-2008) Ultimate) 100% 100%
The Company has invested the plan assets with the insurer managed funds. The insurance company has invested the
plan assets in Government Securities, Debt Funds, Equity shares, Mutual Funds, Money Market Instruments and Time
Deposits. The expected rate of return on plan asset is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return ex-
pected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligation.
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary
increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of
the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results
of sensitivity analysis is given below:

Sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as
it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be
correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation 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.
There was no change in the methods of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the
interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance Company, as part
of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds
under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of
assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in
particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in increase in liability without corresponding increase in
the asset)

Expected contributions to the plan for the next annual periods is given below: (Rs. in lakhs)

C. Note on Provident Fund:

With respect to employees, who are covered under Provident Fund Trust administered by the Company, the Company
shall make good deficiency, if any, in the interest rate declared by Trust over statutory limit. Having regard to the assets
of the Fund and the return on the investments, the Company does not expect any deficiency in the foreseeable future.

49.4 Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s Financial Asstes and Liabilities:
49.4.1 Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1):

This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares, and mutual fund
investments.
49.4.2 Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2):

This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
This level of hierarchy includes Company’s over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts.
49.4.3 Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and
liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are
determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from
observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

49.4.6 As at April 01, 2016

49.4.7 Financial Instrument measured at Amortised Cost:

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are
a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be
significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
49.5 Financial Risk Management Objectives

The Company’s corporate finance department provides services to business, co-ordinates access to domestic and
international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through
internal risk reports which analyse the exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including
currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures.
The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Company’s policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide
written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative
financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed
by the Management and the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial
instruments, including derivatives for speculative purposes.
The corporate treasury function reports quarterly to the Company’s risk management committee, an independent body that
monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.
49.5.1 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial
instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative
financial instruments.
49.5.2 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any
transaction references more than one currency. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by
assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
49.5.3 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 arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including
outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets.
The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit
quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
49.5.4 Credit Risk Management

The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Concentration of credit risk related
to the above mentioned company did not exceed 10% of gross monetary assets at any time during the year. Concentration
of credit risk to any other counterparty did not exceed 10% of gross monetary assets at any time during the year.
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.
49.5.5 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company
manages its liquidity risk through credit limits with banks.
The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In
addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

49.5.6 Foreign Currency Sensitivity Analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to the currency USD on account of outstanding trade receivables, trade payables and
FCCB in USD.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in INR against the USD. 5% is
the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents
management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes
only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5%
change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the INR strengthens
5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the INR against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable
impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.

49.5.7 Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rates. Any movement in the
reference rates could have an impact on the Company’s cash flows as well as costs. The Company is subject to variable
interest rates on some of its interest bearing liabilities. The Company’s interest rate exposure is mainly related to debt
obligations.
49.5.8 Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
If interest rates had been 1% higher and all other variables were held constant, the company’s profit for the year ended
would have impacted in the following manner:

Notes on Financial Statements
52.7 FOOT NOTE:-

a. Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company has elected to measure items of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) at fair value at the date of transition
to Ind AS and considered it as deemed cost. Hence, at the date of transition to Ind AS, an increase of Rs.36642.32
Lakhs (Including Impairment of Capital WIP of Rs.10359.92 Lakhs) was recognised in Property, Plant and Equipment
with corresponding increase in Retained Earnings. An increase of Rs.37290.50 Lakhs in PPE has been recognized as
at 31.3.2017.
Since the Company has elected for fair valuation of PPE at the date of transition to Ind AS, the Revaluation Reserve
existing on the date of transition under Previous GAAP amounting to Rs.37538.64 Lakhs has been transferred on the
date of transition and Rs.35719.14 lakhs has been transferred, as at 31.03.2017, to the Retained Earnings.
b. Intangible Assets:
The carrying amount of intangible asset under previous GAAP of Rs.8400.46 Lakhs has been de-recognised on
transition to Ind AS since no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The loss arising from such
de-recognition has been transferred to the Retained Earnings on the date of transition.
The carrying amount of intangible asset under previous GAAP as at 31.03.2017 of Rs.5795.34 Lakhs (Rs.2605.13 Lakhs
had been written off under previous GAAP and reduced from Depreciation and amortization expenses in statement of
Profit and Loss) has been de-recognised under Ind AS.
c. Non-Current Investments:
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, Non-current Investments of the Company were measured at
cost less provision for diminution (other than temporary). Under Ind AS, the Company has recognised such investments
as follows:
- Government securities - At amortised cost
- Equity shares of associate company – At cost
- Quoted equity shares - At FVTPL by an irrevocable election
- Unquoted equity shares - At cost
On the date of transition to Ind AS, the difference between the fair value of Non-Current Investments as per Ind AS and
their corresponding carrying amount as per financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, has resulted in an
increase in the carrying amount of these investments by Rs.86.25 Lakhs which has been recognised directly in retained
earnings.
As at 31st March, 2017, the difference between the fair value of Non-Current Investments as per Ind AS and their
corresponding carrying amount as per financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, has resulted in an increase
in the carrying amount of these investments by Rs.96.59 Lakhs. On such fair valuation, net gain amounting to Rs.10.32
Lakhs has been recognised in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
d. Trade Receivable, Trade Payables & Other Financial Liabilities:
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, the company had opted to recognize foreign exchange
fluctuation based on settlement of obligations.
In terms of requirement of Ind AS- 21 the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, foreign currency monetary items
of the Company are translated at the closing exchange rates which has resulted in increase of Rs.3271.74 Lakhs in
Trade receivable and increase of Rs.1537.43 Lakhs in Other financial liability respectively and net gain of Rs.1734.31
lakhs has been transferred to the Retained Earnings on the date of transition.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are translated at the closing exchange rates as at 31.03.2017 which
has resulted in net increase of Rs.1245.15 Lakhs in Trade receivable, Rs.0.21 Lakhs in Trade payable and Rs.396.17
Lakhs in Other financial liabilities respectively and net gain of Rs.848.77 lakhs has been transferred to the Statement of
Profit and loss.
e. Inventories:
Due to Change in Fair value of inventories as at 31.03.2017 the value has been increased by Rs.0.80 Lakhs with a
corresponding transfer to Retained earnings as on that date.
f. Current Investments:
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, Current Investments of the Company were measured at lower
of cost and market value. Under Ind AS, these investments have been classified as FVTPL on the date of transition. The
fair value changes are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

On the date of transition to Ind AS, the difference between the fair value of Current Investments as per Ind AS and their
corresponding carrying amount as per financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, has resulted in an increase
in the carrying amount of these investments by Rs.1372.00 Lakhs, which has been recognized directly in retained
earnings.
As at 31st March, 2017, the difference between the fair value of Current Investments as per Ind AS and their corresponding
carrying amount as per financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, has resulted in an increase in the carrying
amount of these investments by Rs.2610.60 Lakhs.
Fair valuation gain for the year ended 31st March, 2017, amounted to Rs.1248.92 Lakhs and the same has been
recognized in other income in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The above transition has impacted an increase in equity by Rs.1372.00 Lakhs as at transition date and by Rs.2610.60
Lakhs as at 31st March, 2017.
g. Other Equity:
Retained earnings as at April 01, 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.
h. Revenue from sale of products
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented net of excise
duty. However, under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products includes excise duty. Excise duty expense amounting to
Rs.1259.50 Lakhs is presented separately on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March,
2017.
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, cash discount and sales promotional expenses were shown
as a part of other expenses. However, under Ind AS, such discounts and sales promotional expenses amounting to
Rs.47.90 Lakhs for the year ended 31st March, 2017, are reduced from revenue from sale of products.
In light of the above, revenue from sale of products under Ind AS has increased by Rs.1211.60 Lakhs (Rs.1259.50 Lakhs
less Rs.47.90 Lakhs) with an corresponding increase in excise duty by Rs.1259.50 Lakhs, decrease in other expenses
by Rs.47.90 Lakhs in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
The above changes do not affect equity as at date of transition to Ind AS, profit after tax for the year ended 31st March,
2017 and Equity as at 31st March, 2017.
i. Employee benefits
i) Remeasurement of defined benefit plans
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, remeasurement benefit of defined plans (gratuity), arising
primarily due to change in actuarial assumptions was recognised as employee benefits expense in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, such remeasurement benefits relating to defined benefit plans is recognised in OCI
as per the requirements of Ind AS 19 Employee benefits. Consequently, the related tax effect of the same has also
been recognised in OCI.
For the year ended 31st March, 2017, remeasurement of gratuity liability resulted in a net benefit of Rs.258.45 Lakhs
which has now been removed from employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognised
separately in OCI. This has resulted in decrease in employee benefits expense by Rs.258.45 Lakhs and expenses in
OCI by Rs.258.45 Lakhs for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
ii) Other Employee benefits:
Loans to employees are financial assets and should be recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Fair value can
be estimated as the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at a market rate for a similar loan. The loan
asset is subsequently accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 109. After initial recognition, loans are accounted
for at amortised cost with interest income determined using the effective interest method. The difference between
the amount of loan given on favourable terms and its fair value is an employee benefit. On the date of Transition
an amount of Rs.1.52 Lakhs have been reduced from Loans and Advances to Employees with a corresponding
adjustment to Retained earnings. As on 31.03.2017, this resulted in a decrease of Rs.7.99 Lakhs reduced from
Loans and advance to Employees, increase of Rs.14.55 Lakhs in employee cost and increase of Rs.8.08 Lakhs in
Other Income.
j. Deferred tax:
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, deferred tax was accounted as per the income statement
approach which required creation of deferred tax asset/liability on temporary differences between taxable profit and
accounting profit. Under Ind AS, deferred tax is accounted as per the Balance Sheet approach which requires creation
of deferred tax asset/liability on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset/liability in the Balance
Sheet and its corresponding tax base.
The application of Ind AS has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which were not
required to be recognised under Previous GAAP. In addition, the above mentioned transitional adjustments relating
to current/non-current investments and goodwill have also led to temporary differences and creation of deferred tax
thereon.
The above changes have resulted in creation of deferred tax liabilities (net) amounting to Rs.27310.73 Lakhs as at date
of transition to Ind AS and Rs. 27901.29 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2017. For the year ended 31st March, 2017, it has
resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense by Rs.680.00 Lakhs in the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognition
of deferred tax benefit by Rs.89.44 Lakhs in OCI.
k. Effect of Ind AS adoption on Statement of Cash Flow for the year ended 31.03.2017 :
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, cash and cash equivalents represented by short term highly
liquid funds were recognised at cost. However, under Ind AS, such cash and cash equivalents being financial instruments,
are required to be recognised at fair value. The reconciliation items are furnished in Note 52.6.
l. Borrowings
As required under the Ind AS 109 transactions costs incurred towards origination of borrowings have been deducted from
the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
over the tenure of the borrowing as interest expense, computed using the effective interest rate method corresponding
effect being given in borrowings.
Under the previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
Consequently, borrowings as on the date of transition have been reduced by Rs.430.71 Lakhs with a corresponding
adjustment to retained earnings. As at 31st March, 2017 borrowings have been reduced by Rs.346.42 Lakhs with a
corresponding increase of Rs.84.29 Lakhs in Finance Cost.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowing are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the
liabilities are de-recognised as well as through EIR amortisation process. The EIR amortization is included in finance
cost in the Statement of Profit and loss. Consequently, borrowings as on the date of transition have been increased by
Rs. 6579.01 lakhs with a corresponding adjustment in retained in earnings. As at 31.3.2017 the borrowings have been
increased by Rs.1097.26 lakhs with corresponding increase in Finance cost.
m. Depreciation and amortization expenses
The Company has elected to measure items of Property, Plant and Equipment at Fair value at the date of transition to
Ind AS.
It resulted in an increase of Rs.1051.81 Lakhs in Depreciation in statement of Profit and Loss account for the year ended
31.03.2017. The Company has de-recognised intangible assets on the date of transition to Ind AS. Hence for the year
ended 31.3.2017, it resulted in a decrease of Rs.2605.13 Lakhs in amortization expenses in Statement of Profit and
Loss account. Further impairment loss of Rs. 1700.00 Lakhs recognized under previous GAAP has been reversed on
de-recognition of Capital work in progress on the date of transition to Ind AS.
n. Other Comprehensive income
Under previous GAAP, there was no concept of Comprehensive Income. Under Ind AS, specified items of income,
expense, gains or losses are required to be presented in other comprehensive income. Hence, the company has
reconciled previous GAAP profits to Profit as per Ind AS.
Further, previous GAAP profit is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.
o. Re-grouping/Re-classification
Figures relating to April 01, 2016 (date of transition) have been regrouped or reclassified to make them comparable with
the Ind AS presentation.

consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed
under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the
Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; 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 effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the

Auditors’ Responsibility
4. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. In conducting
our audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the Consolidated Ind AS financial Statements are free from material misstatement.
6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Consolidated
Ind AS financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Ind AS financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those

qualified in the report of the predecessor auditors on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017.

2018, and its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors’ Report

Referred to in paragraph 13(g) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date to the members of Sakthi Sugars Limited on the
consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act’)
1. In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of Sakthi Sugars Limited (“the Company”) as of
and for the year ended March 31, 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company
and its associate company, incorporated in India as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The respective Board of Directors of the Company and its associate company incorporated in India are responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the
Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities
include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for
ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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.
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section
143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal
Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls
over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. 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 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. 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: :
(a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
(b) 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
(c) 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

7. 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.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, 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, 2018, 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.

The Group is engaged in the business of manufacture of sugar, industrial alcohol, power, soya products and auto components.
The Company’s shares are listed in BSE Ltd and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
Significant Accounting Policies:
1.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation:
These financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of the group prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the group had prepared and presented its financial
statements in accordance with Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together
with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (‘Previous GAAP’). Detailed information of transition from previous
GAAP to Ind AS and its impact on the Group’s Balance Sheet, financial performance and cash flows is given under Note 45.
These financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis
of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair values at the end of each
reporting period, as stated in the accounting policies set out below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently
over all the periods presented in these financial statements.
1.2 Current/Non-Current Classification:
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
(a) An asset is treated as current when it is:
(i) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
(ii) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iii) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
(b) A liability is current when:
(i) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
(ii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iii) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash
equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1.3 Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses like provision for employee benefits, provision for doubtful
trade receivables/advances/contingencies, provision for warranties, allowance for slow/non-moving inventories, useful life
of Property, Plant and Equipment, provision for taxation, etc., during the reporting year. The Management believes that the
estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results may vary from these
estimates.
1.4 Inventory:
Inventories of raw materials, work-in-progress, stores, finished products and stock-in-trade are valued at the lower of cost or
net realizable value.
Cost is ascertained on seasonal weighted average for sugar and yearly average for stores and soya products.
Soya Bean, Stock-in-trade of fertilizer and newsprint costs are ascertained on FIFO basis.
By-products are valued at net realizable value. Standing crops are valued at net realizable value.
In determining the cost of raw materials, packing materials, stock-in-trade, stores, spares, components and consumables,
weighted average cost method is used. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location
and condition.
Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, an appropriate share of
fixed and variable production overheads, excise duty as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition.
1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment:
Measurement at recognition : Property, plant and equipment assets are carried at cost net of tax / duty credit availed less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to
the acquisition of the items.
Historical cost includes taxes, duties, freight, insurance etc., attributable to acquisition and installation of assets and borrowing
cost incurred upto the date of commencing operations but excludes duties and taxes that are recoverable from taxing
authorities. Indirect expenses during construction period, which are required to bring the asset in the condition for its intended
use by the management and are directly attributable to bringing the asset to its position, are also capitalized.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they
are incurred.
Assets which are not ready for their intended use and capital work-in-progress are carried at cost comprising direct cost,
related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to regard the fair values of all its Property, plant and equipment as at
April 01, 2016 as deemed cost in accordance with the stipulation of Ind AS 101 “First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting
Standards”. Refer Note No. 45 for the first-time adoption impact.
Depreciation: Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the useful life in the
manner prescribed in the Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.
Depreciation on addition to assets or on sale/discarding of assets, is calculated on pro-rata from the month of such addition
or up to the month of such sale/discarding, as the case may be.
De-recognition: An item of Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from the continued use of asset.
Gains and losses on disposal or retirement of assets are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.6 Intangible assets
Measurement at recognition: Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible
assets arising on acquisition of business are measured at fair value as at date of acquisition. Internally generated intangibles
including research cost are not capitalized and the related expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Amortization: Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortized on straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic
life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The
amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at the end of each
financial year. If any of these estimations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an
accounting estimate.

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset and is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
1.7 Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer
returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
a) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are despatched, and titles have passed, at which time all
the following conditions are satisfied:
i) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
ii) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor
effective control over the goods sold;
iii) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
iv) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group; and
v) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
b) Dividend and interest income:
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established
(provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the amount of income can be measured
reliably).
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the
principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
c) Insurance Claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/ expected to be admitted and to the extent that the
amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.
d) Export Benefits:
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving
the same.
e) Rental Income:
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included
in revenue in the Statement of Profit or Loss due to its operating nature.
1.8 Foreign Currency Transactions:
On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Group are recorded in the functional currency (i.e.
Indian Rupees), by applying to the foreign currency amount, the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the
foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during
the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Group are translated at the closing exchange rates. Non-monetary items that are
measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is measured.
Exchange differences arising out of these translations are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.9 Employee Benefits:
a) Short Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee
benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Group recognizes

the undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a
liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.
b) Post-Employment Benefits:
i) Defined Contribution plans:
Defined contribution plans are employee provident fund and employee state insurance scheme for all applicable
employees and superannuation scheme for eligible employees.
Recognition and measurement of defined contribution plans:
The Group recognizes contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as an expense in the Statement of Profit
and Loss when the employees render services to the Group during the reporting period. If the contribution payable
for services received from employees before the reporting date exceeds the contributions already paid, the deficit
payable is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid
exceeds the contribution due for services received before the reporting date, the excess is recognized as an asset
to the extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
ii) Defined Benefit plans
Gratuity: Liabilities with regard to the gratuity benefits payable in future are determined by actuarial valuation at
each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized
in other comprehensive income and shall not be reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in a subsequent
period.
Leave encashment / Compensated absences: The Company and Associate provides for the encashment of leave
with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future
encashment / availment. The liability is provided based on the number of days of unutilized leave at each Balance
Sheet date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in
actuarial assumptions are recognised in the other comprehensive income
1.10 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (‘CODM’) of the Group. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments of the Group.
1.11 Non-Current Assets held for sale
The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale
rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that
significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified
as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less cost
to sell. Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized.
1.12 Investment in Associate Company
Associates are all entities over which the company has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally
the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using
the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise
the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the group’s share of other
comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associate are
recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including
any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or
made payments on behalf of the other entity.
The entity’s interest in associate, for FY 2017-18, is classified as assets held for sale in accordance with Ind AS-105. The
consolidated accounts have been finalised on the basis that the investment is held for sale.

1.13 Government Grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group
recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants
whose primary condition is that the company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are
recognised as deferred revenue in the Balance Sheet and transferred to Statement of Profit or Loss on a systematic and
rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving
immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they
become receivable.
In respect of government loans at below-market rate of interest existing on the date of transition, the Group has availed
the optional exemption under Ind AS 101 - First Time Adoption and has not recognised the corresponding benefit of the
government loan at below-market interest rate as Government grant.
1.14 Current Tax and Deferred Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the Balance Sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities
and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where
the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit, which is equal to the excess of MAT (calculated in accordance with provisions of
Section 115JB of the Income tax Act, 1961) over normal income-tax is recognized as an item in deferred tax asset by crediting
the Statement of Profit and Loss only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Group will be able to avail
the said credit against normal tax payable during the period of fifteen succeeding assessment years.
1.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders and assumed conversion by the weighted
average number of common shares and potential common shares from outstanding stock options.
1.16 Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets/cash generating units are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there
is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Group’s assets. If any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by
discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication

that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased such
reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.17 Provisions and Contingencies
The Group recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount
of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognized as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not
recognized because it is probable that an outflow of resources will not be required to settle the obligation. However, if the
possibility of outflow of resources, arising out of present obligation, is remote, it is not even disclosed as contingent liability.
A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot
be measured reliably. The Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the notes to financial
statements. A contingent asset is not recognized in financial statements, however, the same is disclosed where an inflow of
economic benefit is probable.
1.18 Leases
a) Group as Lessee
The Group’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancelable in
nature. The lease rentals under such agreements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the terms of
the lease.
Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease or
based on the time pattern of user benefit basis. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected
general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in
the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense
in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability.
The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on straight-line basis, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are
consumed.
b) Group as Lessor
The Group’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancellable in
nature. The lease rentals under such agreements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the terms
of the lease. Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on straight-line basis over the term of the
relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate
for the Group’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits
accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
1.19 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortisation of ancillary cost incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and
the exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost. General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended
use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets
is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

1.20 Financial Instrument

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value
through Statement of Profit and Loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss.
a) Fair Value Measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, investments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
i) Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
ii) Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
iii) Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based
on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash
flow model, which involve various judgements and assumptions.
b) Financial Assets
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement: Debt instruments are measured at amortised cost.
iii) De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of the group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised primarily when:

(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(b) The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset
iv) Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss on the financial assets and credit risk exposure that are debt instruments, and are measured at
amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance
with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original Effective Interest
Rate (EIR). When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
(a) All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over
the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial
instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the
financial instrument.
(b) Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
As a practical expedient, the Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of
its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of
the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the
Statement of Profit and Loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head ‘Other Expenses’ in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is that in the case of financial assets
measured as at amortised cost, ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of
those assets in the Balance Sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off
criteria, the Group does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Group combines financial instruments on the basis of
shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant
increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
c) Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) 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
other comprehensive income (OCI). These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the
Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-
recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.21 Events after Reporting date

Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting
period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date
of material size or nature are only disclosed.
1.22 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise of cash on hand, demand deposits with Banks, other short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.23 Cash flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of
non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated based on the available information.
1.24 Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest Lakh with two decimals, as
per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
1.25 Recent accounting pronouncements
Standards issued but not yet effective
In March, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2018, notifying Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers, Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign Currency
transactions and advance consideration and amendments to certain other standards. These amendments are in line with
recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These amendments are applicable to the
Group from April 01, 2018. The Group will be adopting the amendments from their effective date.
