Financial
statements
Intangible assets with finite lives (i.e. software and licenses) are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed
for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and
method for an intangible asset is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Costs relating to computer software are capitalised and amortised on straight line method over their estimated useful
economic life of six years.
d. Research & Development Costs
Research and development costs that are in nature of tangible assets and are expected to generate probable future
economic benefits are capitalised as tangible assets. Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to the
statement of profit and loss in the year in which it is incurred.
e. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
f. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable
amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of
disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of
an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the statement of profit
and loss.
g. Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realizable value after providing for obsolescence, wherever
considered necessary. Cost of inventories comprises of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs including
manufacturing overheads incurred in bringing them to their respective present location and condition. Cost of raw material,
stores and spares, packing materials, trading and other products are determined on weighted average basis.
h. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the
revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue from operations includes sale
of goods, services and excise duty, adjusted for discounts (net).
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate
applicable.
i. Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also its functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in functional currency using the exchange rates at the date the
transaction.
