CHAIRMAN S’ SPEECH
Dear Shareholders,
Hello and a warm welcome to the 29thAnnual
General Meeting of your Company. At the
outset, my sincere thanks and deep gratitude
to you, our valued shareholders, for your
continued support and enduring trust.
Behind all our pursuits aimed at enduring
value for you, you have been and you will
continue to be the most essential driving
force. It’s a privilege to address you today.
Your auspicious presence today is not only
significant, but a manifestation of our lasting
alliance as stakeholders.
The year 2022-23 witnessed intense
tumultuous geopolitical and economic
instability. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine
conflict disrupted the smooth functioning of
global supply chains. However, despite these challenges your company delivered a record
performance across its all verticals by effectively serving the customers. I take immense
pride in reaffirming that your company stands fortified and more resilient than ever before.
Demonstrating a robust performance in FY 2022-23, your Company is now strategically
positioned to amplify its growth trajectory.
Your Company executed its largest ever capital expenditure investment of Rs 211.95 crores
in various projects. Your company at present operates sixty six (66) strategically positioned
LPG bottling plants and project work for setting-up many more is in offing as per plans and
commissioning of same will start in phases in FY 2023-24.
Your company witnessed disruption in LPG supplies during the first two quarter of the year
due to ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, prompting your company to re-evaluate its supply
chain strategies. However, your company secured its LPG Bulk demand through direct
import from Middle East countries. This import was made possible through our close
associate and supplier, establishing a strategic partnership. This sudden shift in the supply
chain led to storage problem. To tackle the storage issue your company procured five
hundred (500) LPG tankers, which besides transportation of LPG enhanced the storage
capacity. This implied a significant investment in logistic infrastructure. Your company
adopted a proactive approach in managing supply chain uncertainties by hiring temporary
storage facilities at ports too. In addition, your company also hired two ships to secure its
supplies, demonstrating commitment to ensuring a reliable flow of LPG. The shift in the
supply chain not only secured supplies to company’s existing Auto LPG and Packed LPG
Business but has also opened opportunities in the Bulk LPG market to industrial consumers.
This diversification has led to new revenue streams for your company.
Further in Packed LPG marketing Your Company has embarked on a transformational
growth phase with the introduction of three new high-potential growth segments D2C,
ChotaBunty and 425 kg LPG Cylinder. Direct to Customer (D2C) within the Packed LPG

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT
Global Energy Sector: India is third largest energy-consuming country in the world. The ever-
expanding industrialization and urbanization will primarily drive the energy demand. Energy markets
began to tighten in 2021 due to extraordinary rapid economic rebound following the pandemic which
further escalated into a full-blown global energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022. The geopolitical conflict in Europe, along with other factors, stirred up uncertainties
around energy supply, price volatility and triggered significant peaks in energy prices. Driven by the
geopolitical conflict the Gas prices continued to rise during the early part of 2022 and this uncertainty
pushed European prices to record new highs. All the gas indices such as JKM, TTF, HH, have witnessed
price volatility during 2022 with prices softening during the last quarter of FY-2023. The global
energy crisis triggered by geopolitical conflict in Europe has caused profound and long-lasting
changes.
The events in energy sector of the past have set a reminder for the stakeholders that all the three
components of a balanced energy equation i.e. security, affordability and sustainability need to be
taken into account for energy transition. The recent discussions on global energy policies focused on
the significance of de-carbonization and the transition towards net zero goals. The success of an
enduring energy transition shall only address all the above elements.
To tackle climate change, Post COP-26 (Conference of the Parties), various Governments across the
globe are working with focus on implementing various low-carbon energy systems like renewable
energy, electric vehicles, blue and green hydrogen projects, Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage
(CCUS) etc. As per BP outlook on World Energy 2023, the future of global energy will be dominated by
four major trends: declining role for hydrocarbons, rapid expansion in renewable energy, increasing
electrification, and growing use of low-carbon hydrogen.
The Renewable energy will expand rapidly offsetting the declining role of fossil fuels. Natural Gas
being the cleanest fuel will continue to play an important role in energy transition acting as the
bridging fuel. Natural Gas can meet the growing demand of clean, affordable energy with limited
deployment of capital and significant impact on emissions.
Global Gas Sector: The last year has been a challenging phase for the global Natural Gas market.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered the first truly global gas crisis, with natural gas and LNG
markets challenged with supply disruptions and unprecedented price volatility. The immediate effects
of last year's supply shock could be eased in recent months. The gas crisis sparked by Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine has transformed the structure of natural gas markets.
The global Gas crisis triggered an unprecedented supply pressure and the security of gas supplies
remained at the forefront with growing complexity for both short term and the long term. LNG has
become a base load source of supply for Europe, with its share in total EU demand rising close to 35%
in 2022 – similar to the contribution from Russia’s piped gas before the invasion of Ukraine. In light of
phase-out of Russian piped gas exports to the European Union, to address the dynamics, development
of new procurement mechanisms and cooperative frameworks have been explored, favoring a more
flexible supply of LNG.

CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT: 2022-2023:-
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT
Global Natural Gas prices remained very volatile in FY-2022-23 and have seen great rise and falls. The
market volatility was strong in the first half mainly driven by the dynamics in the European markets.
As per the latest World Bank report, the European gas price now has fallen to more than 70% after
reaching an all-time high in August 2022 and in the United States, the prices have dropped to an 18-
month low, a stark turnaround from last year. Unseasonably warm weather, improved energy
efficiency, and behavioral changes in gas consumption were the main contributors for the decline.
The Natural Gas crisis caused last year has led to several market adjustments. The LNG trade took a
directional shift. EU demand for LNG surged to replace the Russian pipeline imports. Global LNG trade
was redirected to Europe. The increased LNG procurement by Europe led to market tightening and
demand destruction in various importing nations especially the developing Asian countries. This event
has impacted the LNG contracting behaviors with comeback of longer-duration contracts.
The geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine, reduction of gas supplies to European Union countries and
disruption of the Nord Stream pipeline have led to a dramatic reduction in Russian pipeline gas
exports. EU already working on plans to reduce its dependency on Russian gas and in such scenario
the resumption of gas supply between Russia and key European importers seems highly unlikely.
However, Russia will like to play a crucial role in global gas markets. Under the prevailing market
dynamics, Russia will aim to increase gas sales to non-European countries through various options
such as - increase gas sales through pipeline to Asia (Power Siberia 1 & 2), increase Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) exports, increase domestic use and export through intermediaries (Turkey). As per IEA Gas
Market Report Q2-2023, Global gas demand is expected to remain flat in 2023, with higher demand
coming from Asia Pacific region. The Asian gas demand is projected to increase by 3%, with China and
India as the main driver.
LPG Industry
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of
flammable hydrocarbons Propane and Butane that are
liquefied through pressurization and commonly used
as fuel. It is produced during natural gas processing or
refining and liquefied through pressurization and
stored in pressure vessels. Over 90% of LPG demand in
India comes from domestic consumers, the consistent
hike in excise duty of automotive fuels such as diesel
and petrol has made commercial LPG a favorable
option for automotive segment as well. The liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) market is expected to grow at a
CAGR of over 3.5% by FY-2027.

Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and
West Bengal.
The increased prices of Diesel & Petrol prompted large number of passenger vehicles shift to alternate
fuel - Auto LPG. Auto LPG besides being economic is
environmental friendly too. The Capex for setting up an Auto
LPG Dispensing Station is lower and does not require highly
specialized vehicles or pipelines. Ample availability of
domestic and import terminals make Auto LPG an attractive
alternative fuel to petrol & diesel.
Outlook: As auto LPG is cost effective, environmental friendly clean green fuel the Company is
targeting to establish 500+ stations by March 2025. Company is also targeting for LPG Kit Retrofit to
switch the Petrol and diesel driven vehicles to alternate LPG fuel to enhance LPG
sales.
Outlook: In India the Packed LPG market is very large. The company having every infrastructure such
as cylinder manufacturing plants, bottling plants, tankers, mini trucks, trucks, dealer network etc. The
company is targeting to expand this segment by tapping new dealers as well as through direct models.
The company has a target of achieving monthly sales volume of 25,000 MT by F.Y. 2025 in packed LPG

Outlook: The announcement of setting-up 10000 CNG stations by the Government and the allocations

company anticipates good business in CNG with long term yield and sustainable profits.
THREATS
Within the CNG business the Company foresees no major threat. The Company foresees little threat
only from the Electrical Vehicles (EVs) in the coming next seven to ten years. However, looking to the
complexities of lower disposable income, larger geographical bottlenecks of the country, investment
involved, and infrastructure required for charging and maintenance, EVs will not be a success and/or
the time frame of seven to ten years may extend even further.
The impact of future waves of Corona virus of varying degrees of severity and consequent lockdowns,
if any, as well as the decline in the economic activity may result in uncertainty on volumes, margins
and earnings.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent
with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material mis-statements of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have

ANNUAL REPORT: 2022-2023:- STANDALONE AUDIT REPORT
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The board of directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatements when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements of the standalone financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are
also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial
controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of M/s Confidence
Petroleum India Limited as of 31-Mar-2023 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial
controls. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets,
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over
financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance
Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and
the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both
applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that
128
.
CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT: 2022-2023:- STANDALONE AUDIT REPORT
the audit evidence I/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.
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and
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, 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 31st March, 2023.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: ∙
174
CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED
Annual Report 2022-23- Standalone Financials
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade
payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company
based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the
counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of
these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from
their carrying amounts.
175
CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED

The Financial Instruments are categorized in two level based on the inputs used
to arrive at fair valuemeasurement as described below
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the
recorded fair value areobservable, either directly or indirectly.

41. Standards issued but not effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2023 vide notification No. G.S.R 242(E ) dated 31st March 2023, effective
from 1st April 2023. The following are the major amendments.
Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements : The amendments require companies to
disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.
Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can
reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial
statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.
Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes : The amendments clarifies how company should account for
deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments
narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12
(recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition,
give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the
impact, if any, in its financial statements.
Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors : The
amendments clarifies the definition of a change in accounting estimates by replacing with a
definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are
“monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty’’.
Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial
statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does
not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements
The Company is assessing the impact of these changes and will accordingly incorporate the
same for the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
42. Dividend declared is as subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing
AGM.
43. Previous year figures have been regrouped/reclassified wherever necessary
to make them comparable with current year figures.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are
no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the
Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and wedo not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatements of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard as no other information as described above has been made available for review.
The Holding Company’s board of directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134 (5) of
the Act with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other
comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group
including its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This
responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group, its associates and joint ventures and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively
for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective board of directors of the companies
included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of
the Group and of its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
179

CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT: 2022-2023:- CONSOLIDATED AUDIT REPORT
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
That respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint
ventures are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its
associates and joint ventures.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatements when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we
are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates and joint
ventures to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Group and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going
concern.

employees covered under the Company Gratuity Scheme. Since company is having
huge turnover of employee and further employees are appointed are also only of fixed
term of 1 to 2 years hence liability gratuity does not arise and provided.

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive
income, or through profit or loss), and-those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of
profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments,
this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For
investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made
an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for equity investment
at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for
managing those assets change.
198
CONFIDENCE PETROLEUM INDIA LIMITED

the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs
of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business
model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset
Equity instruments: The Company subsequently measures all equity investments
(other than investment in subsidiary) at fair value. Where the company’s
management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments
in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value
gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in
profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is
established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised in the other income. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment
losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from
otherchanges in fair value.
L. OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values :
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade
payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions
approximate theircarrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company
based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the
counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of
these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from
their carrying amounts.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2023 vide notification No. G.S.R 242(E ) dated 31st March 2023, effective from
1st April 2023. The following are the major amendments.
Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes : The amendments clarifies how company should account for deferred tax on
transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of
the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no
longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements
Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors : The amendments
clarifies the definition of a change in accounting estimates by replacing with a definition of accounting
estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial
statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty’’. Entities develop accounting estimates if
accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves
measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant
impact in its financial statements
The Company is assessing the impact of these changes and will accordingly incorporate the same for
the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
43. Dividend declared is as subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing AGM.
