Other Significant Information:
Change in Tax Regime: The company opted for the concessional tax regime under Section 200 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (effective FY 2026-27). Consequently, it is no longer eligible to claim deduction under Section 80-IA for its Cogeneration Division. This transition resulted in a significant one-time, non-cash deferred tax charge which adversely impacted PAT for the half year.
Exceptional Item - Machinery Shutdown: Production and profitability in the quarter were adversely impacted by a planned shutdown of Paper Machine 3 (PM 3) for refurbishment and modernisation. The machine has been successfully recommissioned. A loss of ₹50.78 Lakhs on the disposal of the old paper machine 3 was recognized and classified as an exceptional item due to its one-time nature.
Segment Reporting Change: The Cogeneration Division is no longer presented as a separate reportable segment following the change in tax regime, as it is an integral captive utility with no external sales. Previous period segment information has been reclassified for comparability.
Labour Codes: The company had previously accounted for the statutory impact of new Labour Codes (₹66.73 Lakhs for gratuity and leave encashment) as an exceptional item in the year ended March 31, 2026.
