Fair value is the value you expect to receive when you sell the inventory. Being in the business you must be knowing it yourself.

As per AS-2 Inventory is valued at Cost OR Net Realizable Value whichever is less. Dr. Profit and Loss Account Cr. Inventory With the amount you want to write off.

NRV = Fair Value - Selling Costs, So you can derive the value of your stock as per the running rates of the market and then estimate the cost still you need to bear for your sale and the net amount shall be the NRV. Hence the difference between your NRV and cost shall be written off to P & L.
