Shanti Gold International Limited's Board of Directors, at its meeting held on May 11, 2026, approved a voluntary change in the accounting policy for inventory valuation. The company will transition from the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method to the Weighted Average Cost (WAC) method, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee. The change is being implemented in accordance with Ind AS 8, which permits such a voluntary shift only where the new policy provides financial statements containing more reliable and relevant information. The change will be applied retrospectively with effect from April 01, 2024, and will govern financial reporting from FY 2025-26 onwards.

Key Details of the Accounting Policy Change

The following table summarises the key parameters of the approved policy change:

Rationale for the Change

The Audit Committee recommended the transition to the WAC method on the basis that it better serves the company's operational and reporting requirements. The key reasons cited include:

• Better reflection of the blended cost of inventories given price volatility in raw material procurement
• Improved and consistent cost-revenue matching, enhancing the reliability of reported performance
• Alignment of the company's accounting policy with prevalent industry practice, improving comparability with peer entities
