Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 11


Industry Structure and Development
Cement being a basic building material used widely in housing and industrial sectors and in developing infrastructure, its
per capita consumption is an important index for measuring the economic growth of a country. India being the world’s
second largest producer of cement and because of its strong connection with other sectors such as construction,
transportation, coal and power, cement industry occupies an important place in the economy, providing employment
directly and indirectly to more than a million people.
One of the main features of the Indian cement industry is that the location of limestone reserves in some of its states has
resulted in the formation of what is popularly known as cement clusters and Nalgonda in Telangana, where your company’s
Mattampally unit is located, is one of such clusters . The proximity to coal deposits is also an important factor in setting
up of a cement plant. Cement being a high bulk and low value commodity, competition also tends to be localized, since
the cost of transportation of cement to distant markets often results in the product being uncompetitive in those distant
markets.
Further, though the structure of Indian cement industry is considered to be a highly fragmented one, still 70 % of the total
cement production is from its top 20 cement companies.
Apart from the ready availability of raw materials such as limestone and coal, the other factor contributing to the growth
of this industry is increasing demand for cement emanating from the development in the infrastructure and construction
sectors. In this connection, some of the recent major initiatives such as development of ‘smart cities’ which are giving a
push to the demand for cement, providing further boost to this sector, augur well for the industry.
Whether it is affordable housing, roads, highways or ‘smart cities’, the entire industry has high hopes from the Government
as far as infrastructure spending is concerned and on such hopes materializing, the industry will look up and hopefully
grow by 8% in the current year.
Company’s stand-alone performance with reference to its operational performance:
Demand for cement is a derived demand, as it depends on growth of Infrastructure, construction and realty sectors, which
were on the path of recovery after a slow-down witnessed in the later part of the year 2016-17 due to disruption caused
by demonitisation. Further, revival of demand for cement in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh that was expected following
the bifurcation of the erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh is also now gaining momentum, easing the pressure on the
pricing front, though only marginally. However, even as the infrastructure sector is slowly looking up, the housing segment,
which is the biggest demand driver for cement is yet to resume its potential growth.
Viewed in the above background, the overall performance of your company on a stand-alone basis during the year 2017-
18 in terms of production, sale, revenue and average net sales realization per ton of cement is satisfactory.
In terms of volume, your company achieved an increase of 28% and 30% in the cement production and sales respectively
over the previous year which, aided by a marginal increase in average sales realization per tonne of cement by 4.5%,
resulted in an increase of 23% in revenue and a 68% increase in the EBITA over the previous year.
Particulars 2017-18 2016-17
Cement Production in MTs 19,41,145 15,21,565
Cement Sales in MTs 20,04,808 15,37,237
Average Net Sales Realization per MT (` ) 3,214 3,077
Total Revenue ( ` in lakhs) 79,461 64,312

Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associate Companies
In the year 2015, your company acquired the entire equity stake in BMM Cements Limited, which has now been re-
named as Sagar Cements (R) Limited. This wholly-owned subsidiary has its cement plant of 1.00 Million MTs per annum
capacity along with a coal based captive power plant of 25 MW capacity in Gudipadu Village in Ananthapur District, A.P.
After overcoming the initial constraint of operating at a very low capacity due to outsourcing lime stone at a higher cost
for its cement production on account of lack of permission to extract the limestone available in its captive mines, this unit
is now making use of the lime-stone available in the said captive mines after obtaining necessary permission therefor and
is currently operating at around 70% capacity. Its power unit is operating at 87% capacity.
As you are aware, the cement produced by this subsidiary is sold under the brand name “SAGAR CEMENT”. With this
subsidiary further consolidating itself and improving upon its operations, the investments made by your company in this
subsidiary will prove to be beneficial to your company in the long run.
Statement containing salient features of the financial statement of the above mentioned subsidiary has been given in Form
AOC-1 in the Annexure 1 to this report.
Your Company does not have any Joint Ventures or Associate Companies.
Grinding Unit in Bayyavaram
We had earlier informed you of the acquisition of a grinding unit of 1,81,500 MT capacity at Bayyavaram in Visakhapatnam
District in Andhra Pradesh and of the company’s plan to expand its capacity to 1.5 million tons. Your Directors are happy
to inform you that the said expansion as earlier mentioned in this report has since been completed.
The acquisition of the above said grinding unit and the subsequent expansion of its capacity, enable your company to
transport the surplus clinker available at its plant in Mattampally to the said unit, for grinding into slag cement to meet
the demand in markets in Odisha, West Bengal and in the Vizag region of Andhra Pradesh where, with the identification
of Vishakhapatnam and Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh and Bhubaneswar in Odisha for development as ‘smart cities’ under
the Prime Minister’s ‘Smart Cities Mission’, the focus is currently more on the investments in their infrastructure sector.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 13


Opportunities and threats:
Constraints on inputs:
The cement industry is a highly energy intensive sector. Energy, along with other raw materials mainly comprising coal
and lime stone, forms a most critical component in the manufacture of cement. While your company does not face any
problems with respect to the availability of limestone, it attaches high priority to keep its energy cost, which forms a
significant portion of the input costs, to the minimum. This is sought to be achieved, among other means, by ensuring an
optimum combination in the consumption of indigenous coal along with imported coal, which is relatively cheaper.
After successfully commissioning the Waste Heat Recovery Plant with an initial capacity of 6 MW capacity, which is
presently operating at 8.50 MW capacity at its Mattampally plant, your company is now setting up a coal based plant of
18MW capacity at the said unit. Further, as your company is also keen on meeting its power requirement from renewable
energy sources, apart from setting up of a solar power plant of 1 MW capacity at the said plant, it has recently acquired 2
mini hydel power units, one with a capacity of 4.3 MW on the Guntur Branch Canal and the other with a capacity of 4
MW in Lock-in-Sula in Kurnool District, both in Andhra Pradesh.
Your directors hope that the above measures would contribute to your company’s efforts in further optimizing its energy
cost.
Freight cost
Cement being a freight-intensive industry, transportation of cement over long distances can be uneconomical and this has
made it largely a regional play. As the logistics and the optimizing the freight cost continue to be the main area of
concern with the distribution cost remaining a significant component in the cost structure notwithstanding the availability
of a railway siding at your plant, your company is also weighing various other options available to it like setting up of
grinding stations/full fledged cement plants in distant areas where opportunities exist, to cater to the local market and
this is sought to be achieved through routes like mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic marketing tie-ups and
setting up of green field projects. As part of optimizing the freight cost, demand in the Eastern markets, which until
recently was served by your company from its plant at Mattampally in Nalgonda District of Telangana is now being
serviced from its plant at Bayyavaram in Visakhapatnam in A.P.
Lower demand
Housing sector which accounts for a major portion of cement demand is yet to pick-up in a big way both in Telangana
and Andhra Pradesh, which are significant markets for your company. While the initiatives by the governments, like
‘Smart Cities Mission’, ‘affordable housing’ will help the construction, real estate, infrastructure and cement sectors in
due course, the cement industry may have to wait for some more time to see any significant revival in demand in these
states.
In the above circumstance, your company which has its major markets in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and in the border
areas of the other neighboring States, needs to look into expanding its Markets beyond these areas. However, the freight
cost involved in moving the material from its plants at Mattampally and Bayyavaram to these areas, discourages it to do
so, as the price of the locally produced cement in such areas would tend to be much cheaper.
As the company cannot afford any more to ignore the growing demand for cement in its neighboring states just because
of the transportation cost involved in catering to these markets, apart from serving these markets from its own production,
it buys cement in bulk from other sources located in these states and sell the same in the retail markets in those areas
under the brand name ‘Sagar Cement’, wherever there is cost advantage in doing so. It is hoped that this, apart from
increasing the sales turnover of the company without incurring any additional capital expenditure and in turn improving
its bottom line, would help it in popularizing its brand in new areas as well as in firmly establishing it in the areas where
it might only have a token presence at present.
Impact of new entrants:
The Indian cement industry with its huge potential continues to attract the entry of global cement majors and encourages
the strengthening of production bases by existing companies. This may lead to a substantial part of the cement capacity
being controlled by a few players. Sagar Cements proposes to meet some of the challenges posed by this development, by
focusing on cost reduction and by further improving its brand image, greater expenditure on advertising, strengthening its
distribution networks as well as by other customer-focused initiatives. Apart from these, Sagar Cements is looking for
opportunities to expand its market through strategic alliance and setting up of grinding stations, wherever viable.

14 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


Segment-wise /product-wise performance:
As your company operates in only one segment, namely manufacture and sale of cement, there is no other reportable
segment or product.
Future outlook
The per capita consumption of cement is still very low in India and therefore there is a vast scope for growth in its demand
on the long term. However, for such a real growth to happen, there should be an overall growth in investments in the real
estate and infrastructure sectors. Since India is emerging as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the future
outlook for cement looks to be bright, provided government formulates growth oriented policies, so that our per capita
cement consumption matches at least with some of the developing economies. Notwithstanding the plans to expand its
market in other states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will continue to be the major markets for your Company. With the
respective Governments in these states rightly focusing on the development of infrastructure along with the importance
given by the Union Government for the development of National Highways, Rural and Urban Roads, Affordable Housing,
Port Connectivity, Development of smart cities, etc., coupled with private agencies coming up with a slew of their own
infrastructure development projects, demand for cement in these and their neighboring states is expected to see a significant
growth, which augurs well for your company, which, with its aggressive and innovative marketing duly supported by its
well motivated marketing personnel, is poised to grab the opportunity available in this scenario.
However, till such time that the above scenario becomes a reality, your company may have to continue to face the
problems like rising input and distribution costs, despite the efforts being made by your company as mentioned above to
mitigate the same.
The impact of the Goods and Services Tax rate has since been absorbed by the cement industry. The Company, on its
part, will optimize the distribution/warehouse network under GST regime to further improve its operational efficiency.
Therefore, taking an overall view of the above, your Board is cautiously optimistic about the future outlook for your
company.
Risk Management System:
Your Company attaches utmost importance to the assessment of internal risks and the management thereof in all its
dealings. Your Company is constantly on the lookout for identifying opportunities to enhance its enterprise value. Keeping
the need to minimize the risks associated with such efforts, every proposal of significant nature is screened and evaluated
for the risks involved and then approved at different levels in the organization before implementation.
With a view to overcoming the risk of dependence upon any particular marketing segment or region, your Company is
trying to reach out to a wider section of its ultimate consumers. As the cement industry is witnessing rapid additions to its
capacity in Telangana and A.P., in order to mitigate the risk associated with it, Sagar Cements, whose revenue is mainly
from sales in these two states, is looking for growth opportunities in other States as well, where infrastructure spending is
set to get a boost.
Your Company has adequate system to manage the financial risks of its operations. This system is implemented through
imposition of checks and balances on extending credit to the customers, audits like internal audit, statutory, cost and
secretarial audit, all of which are periodically carried out through external firms, proper appraisal of major capital
expenditure, adherence to the budget norms covering all areas of its operations and by adequate insurance coverage for
the company’s facilities.
Internal Control System and its adequacy:
Your Board of Directors are satisfied with the adequacy of the internal control system currently in force in all major areas
of operations of the Company, which is supported by an ERP and compliance management systems. Their audit committee
assists the board of directors in monitoring the integrity of the financial statements, reservations, if any, expressed by the
company’s auditors including, the financial, cost, internal and secretarial auditors and based on their inputs, your board
is of the opinion that the company’s internal controls are adequate and effective.
Human resource development and Industrial Relations
Your Company continues to enjoy cordial relationship with all its personnel working at its Plants, Offices and on the field.
Your company is organizing training programmes wherever required for the employees concerned to improve their skill.
Employees are also encouraged to participate in the seminars organized by the external agencies on the subjects related
to the areas of their operations.

To the Members of Sagar Cements Limited
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Sagar Cements Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, and 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 Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the

position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company
in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial

under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Sagar Cements Limited(“the Company”) as of

stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 51


Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the
Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the
Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of
internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial
reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a
material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion
or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to
the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over
financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the criteria for internal financial control over
financial reporting 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.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 59


SAGAR CEMENTS LIMITED
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Corporate information and significant accounting policies
a) Corporate Information
Sagar Cements Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 as a public limited
company on January 15, 1981. The Company is engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of cement.
b) Significant accounting policies
(i) Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013(“the Act”) read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and
guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
(ii) Basis of preparation and presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the
accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an
asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market
participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the
measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements
is determined on such a basis, except for net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36 that
have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or
3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the
significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(iii) Use of estimates
In the application of the accounting policies, which are described in Note 1(b), the management of the
Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Management believes that the
estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable and the associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods. The significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements is
included in the following notes:

60 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


• Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
• Assets and obligations relating to employee benefits
• Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets
• Financial instruments
• Provisions and contingencies
• Expected credit losses
(iv) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced
for estimated rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as sales tax, value added tax,
goods and services tax, etc.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at
which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company;
and
• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has
been established.
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.
(v) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets,
which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or
sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure
on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they
are incurred.
(vi) Government grants
Government grants and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company
will comply with the conditions attached thereto and that the grants will be received.
(vii) Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity
fund and compensated absences.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 61


Defined Contribution Plans:
The Company’s contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund and employee state insurance scheme
are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of
contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined Benefit Plans:
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected
unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting
period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset
ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in
the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately
in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss
in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning
of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:
• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments
and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• re-measurement
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognized during the year when the employees render the service.
These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(viii) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before
tax’ as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable
or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that
affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle
the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

62 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred
tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
(ix) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts
and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax
authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other
incidental expenses and borrowings costs attributable to acquisition of qualifying property, plant and
equipment up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at
cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets,
borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Such properties are
classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for
intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when
the assets are ready for their intended use.
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 the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal
or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties
under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives.
Depreciation on plant and machinery and railway siding is charged under straight line method and on
other assets depreciation is charged under WDV method, based on the useful life prescribed in Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the
life of the assets has been assessed as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of
the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement,
anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
• Railway siding - 25 years
• Plant and machinery other than continuous process plant – 25 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company follows the process of componentization for property, plant and equipment. Accordingly,
the Company has identified a part of an asset as a separate component in whole asset value (beyond
certain value) and useful life of the part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset. The useful
life has been assessed based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset / component
of an asset, the estimated usage of the asset / component of an asset on the basis of management’s best
estimation of getting economic benefits from those class of assets / components of an asset. The Company
uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for arriving the economic life of an
asset/component of an asset.
Individual assets costing less than or equal to ` 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of acquisition.
(x) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the
end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a
prospective basis.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 63


(xi) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and
other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of
sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Net realisable value
represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs
necessary to make the sale. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of
overheads.
The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:
Raw materials and coal Weighted average method
Stores and spares and packing materials Weighted average method
Work-in-progress and finished goods (manufactured) Weighted average method and including an
appropriate share of applicable overheads.
(xii) Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand, in bank and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term
balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Cash flows are reported using indirect method whereby profit/ (loss) after tax is adjusted for the effects of
transaction of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts and payments.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based
on the available information.
(xiii) Foreign currency transactions and translations:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the
transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at
the year-end rates. Non-monetary items of the Company that are measured in terms of historical cost in
a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting these financial statements, the exchange differences on monetary items
arising, if any, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
(xiv) Financial Instruments:
(A) Initial recognition:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instruments.
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 profit or loss) are added to or
deducted from the fair value of the financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial
recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(B) Subsequent measurement:
a. Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at
amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in
order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.

64 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


b. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is
subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within
a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are
classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income based on its business model.
c. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified in
any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
d. Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the
effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business
combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade
and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment in subsidiaries: Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the separate financial
statements.
(C) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities:
a. Financial assets:
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to
recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds
received.
On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or
loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is
recognized in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognized in
profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
b. Financial liabilities:
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s
obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying
amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is
recognized in profit or loss.
(xv) Impairment of assets
a. Financial assets:
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial
assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no
significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other
financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL,
unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case
those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required
to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is
recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109
Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial
recognition of the receivables.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 65


As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss of its
trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the
expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. The ECL loss
allowance (or reversal) during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
b. Non-financial assets:
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less
cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not
generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the
recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the
estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit
and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any
accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset
in prior years.
(xvi) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax effect
of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax
effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or
income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted
average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
(xvii) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the
present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the
time value of money is material).
(xviii)Operating cycle
Based on the nature of activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and
their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as twelve
months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
(xix) Recent accounting pronouncements
Standards issued but not yet effective:
In March 2018, The Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2018 notifying Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and amendments
to Ind AS 21 The Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable for annual periods beginning
on or after April 01, 2018.

66 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising
from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard IND
AS 18 – Revenue and Ind AS 11 – Construction Contracts when it becomes effective.
The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, based on the five step approach as defined
in this standard.
Under this standard, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e.
when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to
the customer.
The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
Ind AS 116 – Leases
Ind AS 116 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease arrangements and their treatment
in the financial statements of the lessor and lessee. Ind AS 116 will supersede the current leases standard
IND AS 17 – Leases when it becomes effective.
Ind AS 116 applies a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and
service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.
The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

ii) The Finance Minister of Government of India has announced in the budget for the year 2010-11,
imposition of clean energy cess as a duty of excise on coal, lignite and peat. This came into force with
effect from July 1, 2010. As advised by the legal experts, the Company took CENVAT credit pertaining
to clean energy cess on coal for an amount of ` 834 (As at March 31, 2017: ` 834) from July 2010 to
March 2016. The Department of Central Excise issued an order and asked to reverse the amount on
the ground that the clean energy cess is not specified tax for input CENVAT credit, thus the credit
availed on cess is irregular. Based on department’s order, the amount of ` 823 was reversed, but under
protest. The balance of ` 11 pertains to the penalty imposed by the department and disclosed in
contingent liabilities under indirect taxes. The matter is pending before the Department. Credit will be
taken again once the issue is settled in favour of the Company.

The Company furnished a corporate guarantee of ` 15,000 to IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited to secure

There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.
The fair values of the unquoted equity shares had been estimated using a DCF model. The valuation
requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows,
earnings growth, discount rate, and probabilities of the various estimates within the range used in
management’s estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments. During the current year, the
Company sold the above unquoted equity shares.

assessments of the time value of

D. Financial risk management objectives:
The Company’s corporate finance function monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations
of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks.
These risks include market risk (includes interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.The Company seeks
to minimize the effects of these risks through continuous monitoring on day to day basis. The Company
does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative
purposes.The corporate finance function reports monthly to the Company’s management which monitors
risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.
i) Market risk:
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in interest rates. The
Company seeks to minimize the effect of this risk through continuous monitoring and take appropriate
steps to mitigate the aforesaid risk.
Interest rate risk management:
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating
interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed
and floating rate borrowings.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end
of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the
liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis
point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the
Company’s Profit for the year ended March 31, 2018 would decrease/increase by ` 131 (for the year
ended March 31, 2017: decrease/increase by ` 116). This is mainly attributable to the company’s
exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
ii) Credit risk management:
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk

84 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


All amounts are in ` lakhs unless otherwise stated

of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed
and approved by the management.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and
geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts
receivable.
The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Concentration
of credit risk to any counterparty did not exceed 5% of gross monetary assets at any time during the
year.
In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks by
the Company on behalf of its subsidiary. The Company’s maximum exposure in this respect is the
maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called on (Refer Note 28).

are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of

assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the consolidated
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 Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the consolidated financial statements.

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’section of our report of even
date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of
the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March
31, 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Sagar Cements Limited (hereinafter
referred to as “Company”) and its subsidiary company,which is incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiary company, which is incorporated in India, are
responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the respective Companies 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 the respective 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 Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing,
prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company and its subsidiary company,which is
incorporated in India.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated Ind AS financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated Ind AS financial statementsin accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

94 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, Company and its subsidiary
company,which is incorporated in India, have, 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 onthe criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the respective
companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note.

100 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


SAGAR CEMENTS LIMITED
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Corporate information and significant accounting policies
(a) Corporate Information
Sagar Cements Limited (“the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Sagar Cements (R) Limited (together
referred to as “the Group”) are engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of cement and generation of
power for sale and captive consumption. The name of the wholly owned subsidiary was changed from BMM
Cements Limited to Sagar Cements (R) Limited with effect from March 28, 2017.
(b) Significant accounting policies
(i) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
(ii) Basis of preparation and presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain
financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in
the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an
asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market
participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the
measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements
is determined on such a basis, except for net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36 that
have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or
3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the
significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

(iii) Use of estimates


In the application of the Groups’ accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the management of
the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Management believes that
the estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable
and the associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered
to be relevant.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 101


period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods. The significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements is
included in the following notes:
• Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
• Assets and obligations relating to employee benefits
• Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets
• Financial instruments
• Measurement of recoverable amounts of cash generating units
• Provisions and contingencies
• Expected credit losses
(iv) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities
controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:
• has power over the investee;
• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• has ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Entities controlled by the Company are consolidated from the date control commences until the date
control ceases.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to bring their
accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions
between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Following subsidiary company has been considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements:
Name of the entity Relationship Country of Ownership % of Holding and
Incorporation held by voting power
held directly
Sagar Cements (R) Limited Subsidiary India Sagar Cements 100%
Limited

(v) Business combination


The Group accounts for its business combinations under acquisition method of accounting. The
consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the
sum of the acquisition-date fair value of assets transferred by the group, liabilities incurred by the group
to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the group in exchange of control
of the acquire. Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in consolidated statement of profit and
loss as incurred.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in
the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the
difference is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as capital reserve
provided there is clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as
bargain purchase. In other cases, the bargain purchase gain is recognised directly in equity as capital
reserve.

102 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


(vi) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition
of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating
units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata
based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised
directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent
periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the
determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
(vii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced
for estimated rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as sales tax, value added tax,
goods and services tax, etc.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at
which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with
ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Generation of Power
In case of power generation, revenue from sale of energy is recognized on accrual basis. Claims for
delayed payment charges and any other claims, which the Group is entitled to, on grounds of prudence
are accounted on admittance basis.
Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has
been established.
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.
(viii) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets,
which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or
sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure
on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 103


All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they
are incurred.
(ix) Government grants
Government grants and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will
comply with the conditions attached thereto and that the grants will be received.
(x) Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity
fund and compensated absences.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Group’s contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund and employee state insurance scheme
are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of
contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined Benefit Plans
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected
unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting
period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset
ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in
the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately
in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss
in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning
of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:
• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments
and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• re-measurement
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognized during the year when the employees render the service.
These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(xi) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before
tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense
that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it
is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences
can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

104 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred
tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
(xii) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts
and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax
authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other
incidental expenses and borrowings costs attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the
date the asset is ready for its intended use. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at
cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets,
borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Such properties are
classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for
intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when
the assets are ready for their intended use.
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 the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal
or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties
under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives.
Depreciation on plant and machinery and railway siding is charged under straight line method and on
other assets depreciation is charged under WDV method, based on the useful life prescribed in Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the
life of the assets has been assessed as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of
the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement,
anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:
• Railway siding - 25 years
• Plant and machinery other than continuous process plant – 25 years
In case of the Subsidiary company, depreciation has been provided on straight-line method for all the
class of depreciable assets as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013,
except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been
assessed as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated
usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated
technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
• Electrical Equipment (Plant & Machinery) - 15 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 105


The Group follows the process of componentization for property, plant and equipment. Accordingly,
the group has identified a part of an asset as a separate component in whole asset value (beyond certain
value) and useful life of the part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset. The useful life has
been assessed based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset / component of an
asset, the estimated usage of the asset / component of an asset on the basis of management’s best estimation
of getting economic benefits from those class of assets / components of an asset. The Group uses its
technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for arriving the economic life of an asset/
component of an asset.

Individual assets costing less than or equal to ` 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of acquisition.
(xiii) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the
end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a
prospective basis.
(xiv) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and
other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of
sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Net realisable value
represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs
necessary to make the sale. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of
overheads.
The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:
Raw materials and coal Weighted average method
Stores and spares and packing materials Weighted average method
Work-in-progress and finished goods (manufactured) Weighted average method and including an
appropriate share of applicable overheads.
(xv) Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand, in bank and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term
balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Cash flows are reported using indirect method whereby profit/ (loss) after tax is adjusted for the effects of
transaction of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts and payments.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the group are segregated based on
the available information.
(xvi) Foreign currency transactions and translations
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Group are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing
on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Group, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at the
year-end rates. Non-monetary items of the Group that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting these financial statements, the exchange differences on monetary items
arising, if any, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
(xvii) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker.

106 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


The management evaluates the Group’s performance and allocates resources based on analysis of various
performance indicators by business segments.
(xviii) Financial Instruments
(A) Initial recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instruments.
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 profit or loss) are added to or
deducted from the fair value of the financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial
recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(B) Subsequent measurement
a. Financial assets carried at amortised cost: A financial asset is subsequently measured at
amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in
order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
b. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is
subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within
a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are
classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income based on its business model.
c. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified in
any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
d. Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business
combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade
and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
(C) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
a. Financial assets:
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize
the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or
loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is
recognized in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognized in
profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
b. Financial liabilities:
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations
are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of

Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18 107


the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in
profit or loss.
(xix) Impairment of assets
a. Financial assets:
The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial
assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no
significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other
financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL,
unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case
those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required
to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is
recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109
Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial
recognition of the receivables. As a practical expedient, the Group uses a provision matrix to
determine impairment loss of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically
observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward
looking estimates. The ECL loss allowance (or reversal) during the year is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss.
b. Non-financial assets:
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less
cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not
generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the
recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the
estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit
and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any
accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset
in prior years.
(xx) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax effect
of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax
effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or
income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted
average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
(xxi) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the

108 Sagar Cements Limited - Annual Report 2017-18


present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the
time value of money is material).
(xxii) Operating cycle
Based on the nature of activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and
their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as twelve
months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
(xxiii) Recent accounting pronouncements
Standards issued but not yet effective:
In March 2018, The Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2018 notifying Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and amendments
to Ind AS 21 The Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable for annual periods beginning
on or after April 01, 2018.
Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising
from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard IND
AS 18 – Revenue and Ind AS 11 – Construction Contracts when it becomes effective.
The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, based on the five step approach as defined
in this standard.
Under this standard, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e.
when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to
the customer.
The Group is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
Ind AS 116 – Leases
Ind AS 116 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease arrangements and their treatment
in the financial statements of the lessor and lessee. Ind AS 116 will supersede the current leases standard
IND AS 17 – Leases when it becomes effective.
Ind AS 116 applies a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and
service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.
The Group is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables
based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and
adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days
the receivables are due and the rates as per the provision matrix. The ageing of the receivables is as follows:

27. Contingent liabilities, corporate guarantees and capital commitments
a) Contingent Liabilities:
Based on legal opinion/advice obtained, no financial implication to the Company with respect to the following
cases is perceived as on the Balance Sheet date.
(i) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt:
As at As at
Particulars March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017
Direct taxes related 1,798 1,214
Indirect taxes related 2,348 2,394

(ii) The Finance Minister of Government of India has announced in the budget for the year 2010-11,
imposition of clean energy cess as a duty of excise on coal, lignite and peat. This came into force with
effect from July 1, 2010. As advised by the legal experts the Company took CENVAT credit pertaining
to clean energy cess on coal for an amount of ` 1,145 (As at March 31, 2017: ` 1,145) from July 2010
to March 2016. The Department of Central Excise issued an order and asked to reverse the amount on
the ground that the clean energy cess is not specified tax for input CENVAT credit, thus the credit
availed on cess is irregular. Based on department’s order the amount of ` 1,134 was reversed, but
under protest. The balance of ` 11 pertains to penalty imposed by the department and disclosed in
contingent liabilities under indirect taxes. The matter is pending before the Department. Credit will be
taken again once the issue is settled in favour of the Company.
b) Corporate Guarantees:
The Company has furnished a corporate guarantee of ` 15,000 to IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited to
secure the 1,500 Non-Convertible Debentures (` 10 lakhs each) aggregating to ` 15,000 (2016-17: ` 15,000)
issued by its wholly owned subsidiary, Sagar Cements (R) Limited, to International Finance Corporation and
a further guarantee to secure the credit facilities aggregating ` 6,000 (2016-17: ` 14,900) availed by the said
subsidiary from its lenders.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments are as follows:

Assets
Investment in unquoted equity shares (Refer Note 4) - 28
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.
The fair values of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using a DCF model. The valuation requires
management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, earnings
growth, discount rate, and probabilities of the various estimates within the range used in management’s
estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments.

D) Financial risk management objectives:


The group’s corporate finance function monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of
the group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These
risks include market risk (includes interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The group seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by continues monitoring on day to day basis. The
group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for
speculative purposes.
The corporate finance function reports monthly to the group’s management, which monitors risks and policies
implemented to mitigate risk exposures.
i) Market risk:
The group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in interest rates. The group
seeks to minimize the effect of this risk by continues monitoring and take appropriate steps to mitigate
the aforesaid risk.
Interest rate risk management:
The group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest
rates. The risk is managed by the group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating
rate borrowings.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end
of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the
liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis
point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the
group’s: Profit for the year ended March 31, 2018 would decrease/increase by ` 242 (for the year
ended March 31, 2017: decrease/increase by ` 242). This is mainly attributable to the group’s exposure
to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

All amounts are in ` lakhs unless otherwise stated
ii) Credit risk management:
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company. The group has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk
of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed
and approved by the management.Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread
across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial
condition of accounts receivable.
The group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Concentration of
credit risk to any counterparty did not exceed 5% of gross monetary assets at any time during the year.
