2.17 Provisions and Contingent LiabilitiesProvisions
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of pastevent, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provisionis presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. These estimates are reviewed at eachreporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate thatreflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provisiondue to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Onerous Contracts
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised andmeasured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, theCompany recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract.
An onerous contract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Company cannotavoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefitsexpected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting fromthe contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure tofulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e., both incrementalcosts and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities).
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because;
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation, or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
- the Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence and other requireddisclosures in notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.18 Dividend distributions
The Company recognizes a liability to make payment of dividend to owners of equity when the distribution isauthorized and is no longer at the discretion of the Company and is declared by the shareholders. A correspondingamount is recognised directly in equity.
2.19 Current versus non - current classification
The Company segregates assets and liabilities into current and non-current categories for presentation in thebalance sheet after considering its normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS 1, “Presentation ofFinancial Statements”. For this purpose, current assets and liabilities include the current portion of non-currentassets and liabilities respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash andcash equivalents. The Company has identified period up to twelve months as its operating cycle. The terms of theliability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments donot affect its classification.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are classified as non- current assets and liabilities.
3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanyingdisclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates couldresult in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected infuture periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
a) Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor
The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Companyhas determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the leaseterm not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial property, and that it retainsall the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts asoperating leases.
b) Assessment of lease term:
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economicincentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option.
Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease isreasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event ora significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control ofthe lessee.
c) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company applied the following judgments that significantly affect the determination of the amount andtiming of revenue from contracts with customers:
• Determining method to estimate variable consideration and assessing the constraint.
Certain contracts for the sale of products include a right of price revision on account of change of commodityprices/purchase price that give rise to variable consideration. In estimating the variable consideration, theCompany is required to use either the expected value method or the most likely amount method based onwhich method better predicts the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled.
The Company determined that the most likely method is the appropriate method to use in estimating thevariable consideration for the sale of products. The selected method that better predicts the amount ofvariable consideration was primarily driven by the number of volume thresholds contained in the contract.The most likely amount method is used for those contracts with a single volume threshold, while the expectedvalue method is used for contracts with more than one volume threshold.
Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considerswhether the amount of variable consideration is constrained. The Company determined that the estimatesof variable consideration are not constrained based on its historical experience, business forecast and thecurrent economic conditions. In addition, the uncertainty on the variable consideration will be resolved withina short time frame.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reportingdate, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions andestimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances andassumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstancesarising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Property, plant and equipment
The useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are determined by the managementbased on technical assessment by the management. The Company believes that the derived useful life bestrepresents the period over which the Company expects to use these assets.
b) Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and theamount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long¬term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual resultsand the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustmentsto tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions based on reasonableestimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous taxaudits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.
Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailingin the respective domicile of the companies.
c) Gratuity benefit
The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e., Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and futurepension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-termnature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptionsare reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considersthe interest rates of long term government bonds with extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expectedduration of the defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tablesfor the specific countries. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected futureinflation rates for the respective countries. Further details about the assumptions used, including a sensitivityanalysis, are given in Note 38 (a).
d) Fair value measurement of financial instrument
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniquesincluding the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observablemarkets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fairvalues. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changesin assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
e) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expectedloss rates. the Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to theimpairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forwardlooking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverableamount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions,conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposingof the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from thebudget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committedto or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the CGU being tested. Therecoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected futurecash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are also relevant to otherintangibles.
g) Lease incremental borrowing rate
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore its incrementalborrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liability. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would haveto pay to borrow over similar terms, and with a similar security, the fund necessary to obtain an asset of asimilar value to the right of use assets in similar economic environments. The IBR therefore affects what theCompany "would have to pay" which requires estimates when no observable rates are available or when theyneed to be adjusted to reflect the term and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR usingobservable inputs such as market interest rates when available.
4. New and amended standards
The Company applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 April 2025. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendmentthat has been issued but is not yet effective.
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) AmendmentRules, 2025, which amend Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to specify how anentity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange ratewhen exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of itsfinancial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or isexpected to affect, the entity's financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025. When applying theamendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-currentLiabilities with Covenants
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify the requirementsfor classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the termsof a liability does not impact its classification
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loanagreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliancewith future covenants within twelve months.
If there is a breach of a material covenant of a long term loan arrangement on or before the end of thereporting period, resulting in the liability becoming payable on demand as at the reporting date, and thelender agrees—after the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue—notto demand repayment for at least 12 months as a consequence of the breach, this shall be treated as anadjusting event. Accordingly, the entity is not required to classify the liability as current.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025 retrospectivelyin accordance with Ind AS 8.
The amendments have not had an impact on the classification of Company's liabilities.
(iii) Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Supplier Finance Arrangements
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 FinancialInstruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additionaldisclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assistusers of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity'sliabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
(iv) International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to Ind AS 12
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 12 Income Taxes in response to the OECD's BEPS PillarTwo rules and include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the
jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an
entity's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - the use of which is required to be disclosed - applies immediately. Theremaining disclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025, but notfor any interim periods ending on or before 31 March 2026.
The amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements as the Company is not in scope of thePillar Two model rules.
Nature and purpose of reserves
(i) General reserve - Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annualtransfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of thesetransfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of theCompany for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year.Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentageof the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the generalreserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) Retained Earnings - Retained earnings are the profits/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, lessany transfers to general reserve, debenture redemption or other reserve as well as dividends or other distributionspaid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit plans, net oftaxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. The amount is available for distribution to theshareholders.
(i) During the previous year, there was an ongoing dispute involving excise demands pertaining to various yearsranging from 1996 to 1999. The company was contesting this matter which was pending with appellate authorities.During the current year, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeals filed by the Company.
(ii) An industry-wide dispute arose regarding the appropriate classification and GST rate applicable to the supplyof two-wheeler seats. To prevent immediate contention, the Company proactively deposited the differential taxliability. During the prior years, the GST authority, issued an order due to the misclassification of two-wheelerseats under an incorrect HSN code. This order confirmed a demand and appropriated an amount of Rs. 3382.42lakhs for the period from November 15, 2017 to March 31,2024. The Company has already deposited this amountunder protest. Additionally, the order imposed a penalty of Rs. 3382.42 lakhs along with applicable interest.The Company has filed an appeal against these orders with the CGST Appellate Authority in Gurugram. On theissue of classification, the Commissioner (Appeals) upheld the Department's view. Currently, the Company is inthe process of filing a further appeal against the said Order-in-Appeal before the appropriate appellate forum,as prescribed under the CGST Act, 2017. As per Company's own assessment and also based on legal advice,management is confident of favourable outcome for such appeals. No adjustment has been made to the financialstatements.
(iii) The Company has suspended few workmen in the year 2002 for misconduct and instigating other workmen togive less production. The Company has adhered to all the stipulated process as is desired by statute, mainlythe Industrial Dispute Act and The Payment of Wages Act. The workmen have raised a demand notice and stategovernment has raised the dispute to Industrial Tribunal cum Labour court. The tribunal has passed order in favourof workmen with reinstatement with back wages. On 17 July 2025 bench of single judge of honourable High courtgive decision in the favour of workers, the company challenge decision in dual bench of High court and sameis admitted. The Company has filed a Special leave petition in Supreme Court and Writ petition in High courtand court has granted the stay in case pending before them. The Company is contesting the demands and themanagement, including its legal advisors, believe that its position will likely to be upheld in the honourable Courtsand accordingly no provision has been accrued in the financial statements for the demand raised.
(iv) In the financial year 2023-24, the Income Tax Department ('the department') conducted a search under section 132of the Income Tax Act, 1961 at certain premises of the Company including manufacturing locations and residenceof few of its employees/key managerial personnel. Subsequently the Company received demand orders amountingto Rs. 2,243.72 lakhs (excluding penalties) for the Assessment Years 2014-15 to 2024-25, along with a penaltydemand order of Rs. 524.28 lakhs for the Assessment Year 2022-23. The Company filed appeals against the tax andpenalty demand orders received from department with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). Subsequently,the Company has filed rectification application of Rs. 1,187.66 lakhs concerning the outstanding demand.The Company has now received orders from the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) reducing thedemand to Rs. 245.25 lakhs for the Assessment Years 2013-14 to 2024-25, except for AssessmentYear 2022-23, for which the order (including the penalty order) is still awaited. The total demandorders against assessment year 2022-23 amounts to Rs. 756.75 lakhs (including penalties).As per Company's own assessment and also based on legal advice, management is confident of favourableoutcome for such appeals. Pending outcome of appeal proceedings, no adjustment has been made to thesefinancial statements.
28.4 Performance obligation
The performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the product to the customer and payment is generally duewithin 30 to 60 days from delivery
Revenue from contracts with customers is measured by the Company at the transaction price i.e. amount ofconsideration received/ receivable in exchange of transferring goods or services to the customers. In determiningthe transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effect of price adjustments, to be claimed/passed on to the customers, based on various cost parameters like raw material and other costs. AdequateProvisions have been made for such price differences with a corresponding impact on the revenue. Accordingly,revenue for the current year is net of such price differences.
On 21 November 2025, the Central Government issued four separate notifications in the Official Gazette announcingimplementation of four Labour Codes, viz., the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, theCode on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. These fourcodes replace and consolidate 29 existing labour laws. Following the implementation of the four labour codes, theCentral Government has pre-published the draft rules on 31 December 2025 under the respective Labour Codes,for public comment and the final rules are expected to be notified in due course. To ensure smooth implementation,the Ministry of Labour and Employment has also issued the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the four codes.The four codes prescribe an inclusive definition of the term 'wages', which among other matters is relevant fordetermination of post-employment benefits including gratuity to all employees. In accordance with the definition, certainspecified items forming part of remuneration are not included in the wages and these excluded items cannot exceed50% of total remuneration. If there is an excess, then it is presumed that excess amount also forms part of wages. Thefour codes also introduce changes related to leave entitlement and encashment for workers. Going forward, workers'leave balance in excess of 30 days will be encashed at the end of each calendar year and workers will have a right todemand encashment for entire accumulated leave.
The Company has assessed the impact of these changes on the basis of legal view obtained by the management andbest information available till authorisation of the financial statements for issue. The Company has determined thatthese changes result in an increase in gratuity obligation and leave obligation of Rs. 69.61 lakhs and Rs. 67.76 lakhs,respectively. Considering the materiality and regulatory-driven, non-recurring nature of this change, the Company haspresented increase in obligation as an expense under the head “Exceptional Items” in the statement of profit and lossfor the year ended 31 March 2026. Also, pursuant to the change, the entire obligation toward accumulated leave ofworkers has been classified as current liability in the balance sheet as at 31 March 2026. Considering that it is emergingtopic and the finalisation of Central/ State Rules is still pending, the Company will continue monitoring changes andprovide appropriate accounting effect as required based on future developments.
38 Other Notes to Accountsa. Defined Benefit Plan
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan (funded). The Company's defined benefit gratuity plan is afinal salary plan for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completedfive years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member's lengthof service and salary at retirement age. The Scheme is funded with the Life Insurance Corporation of India in theform of a qualifying insurance policy. This defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks. The mostrecent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity werecarried out as at March 31, 2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related currentservice cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The Company has also provided for leave encashment which is unfunded.
The following tables summarize the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of the profitand loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans:
xii) The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation are after taking into account inflation,seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. Theabove information is as certified by the Actuary.
xiii) Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheetdate for the estimated term of the obligations.
xiv) The plan assets are maintained with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Terms and Conditions of transactions with related parties
1) Sales are made to related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm's length transactionand in the ordinary course of business. The Company mutually negotiates and agrees sales price, discount andpayment terms with the related parties by benchmarking the same to transactions with non-related parties, whopurchase goods and services of the Company in similar quantities. Such sales generally include payment termsrequiring related party to make payment within 30 to 60 days from the date of invoice.
2) Trade receivables outstanding balances are unsecured, interest free and require settlement in cash. No guaranteeor other security has been received against these receivables. The amounts are recoverable within 30 to 60 daysfrom the reporting date (31 March 2025: 30 to 60 days from the reporting date). For the year ended 31 March 2026,the Company has not recorded any impairment on receivables due from related parties (31 March 2025: Nil)
3) Purchases are made from related parties on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an arm's lengthtransaction and in the ordinary course of business. The Company mutually negotiates and agrees purchase price
and payment terms with the related parties by benchmarking the same to sale transactions with non-related partiesentered into by the counter-party and similar purchase transactions entered into by the Company with the othernon-related parties. Such purchases generally include payment terms requiring the Company to make paymentwithin 30 to 60 days from the date of invoice.
4) Trade payables outstanding balances are unsecured, interest free and require settlement in cash. No guaranteeor other security has been given against these payables. The amounts are payable within 30 to 60 days from thereporting date (31 March 2025: 30 to 60 days from the reporting date).
5) The Company has taken a loan from its director. The loan has been utilized by the Company for the purpose itwas obtained. The loan is unsecured, repayable by March 2028 and carries interest rates at the rate of 8.3% perannum.
6) The amounts disclosed in the table are the amounts recognised as an expense during the financial year related toKMP The amounts do not include expense, if any, recognised toward post-employment benefits and other long¬term benefits of key managerial personnel. Such expenses are measured based on an actuarial valuation doneby the Company. Hence, amounts attributable to KMPs are not separately determinable. Generally, non-executivedirectors do not receive any gratuity or post-employment benefits from the Company.
e. Expenditure on corporate social responsibility
As per provisions of section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company has to incur at least 2% of averagenet profits of the preceding three financial years towards Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”). Accordingly, aCSR committee has been formed for carrying out CSR activities as per the Schedule VII of the Companies Act,2013. The Company has contributed a sum of Rs.74.00 lakhs (31st March, 2025 : Rs.54.00 lakhs) towards reliefactivities, education, healthcare and Skil Development purpose. The same is debited to the Statement of Profitand Loss.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instruments could be exchangedin a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following method andassumption were used to estimate the fair value.
i) The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, as well as other non¬current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flow using rates currently available for debton similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. In additional to being sensitive to a reasonably possiblechange in the forecast cash flow or the discount rate, the fair value of the equity instruments is also sensitiveto a reasonably possible change in the growth rates. The valuation requires management to use unobservableinputs in the model, of which the significant unobservable inputs are disclosed in the tables below. Managementregularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs anddetermines their impact on the total fair value.
ii) Receivables/Payables are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rate, risk factors,and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based onthis evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected credit losses of these receivables.
iii) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorized within level 3 of the fair valuehierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 31st March, 2026 are as shown below :-
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments byvaluation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable,either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based onobservable market data.
Note: The Company has measured its all financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost accordingly, Quantitative
disclosures fair value measurement hierarchy in not applicable on the Company.g. Financial risk management
The Company has instituted an overall risk management program which also focuses on the unpredictability offinancial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. TheCorporate Finance department evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the various stakeholders.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks are managed pro-actively by theSenior Management of the Company.i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk andother price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by marketrisks include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables. Thesensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025.The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and otherpost-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevantProfit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on thefinancial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025.
A) Currency Risk:-
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreignexchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominatedin foreign currency). Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing of goods from therespective countries. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactionsand follows established risk management policies.
Foreign currency risk sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, Euro and JPY exchangerates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company profit before tax is due to changes in thefair value of monetary assets and liabilities.
The Company is not exposed to any price risk as there is no investment in securities and the Company does notdeal in commodities.ii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.The Company employs' prudent liquidity risk management practices which inter alia means maintaining sufficientcash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Given the natureof the underlying businesses, the corporate finance maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availabilityunder committed credit lines and this way liquidity risk is mitigated by the availability of funds to cover futurecommitments. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and the utilized borrowing facilities are monitored on a daily basisand there is adequate focus on good management practices whereby the collections are managed efficiently. TheCompany while borrowing funds for large capital project, negotiates the repayment schedule in such a mannerthat these matches with the generation of cash on such investment. Longer term cash flow forecasts are updatedfrom time to time and reviewed by the senior management of the Company.
The table below represents the maturity profile of Company's financial liabilities at the end of 31st March, 2026and 31st March, 2025 based on contractual undiscounted payments:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or the counterparty to a financial instrumentfails to meet its contractual obligation and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers.Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, as well as credit exposure to customers including outstandingaccounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financials assets.The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking in to account their financial position, pastexperience and other factors.
Balances with banks is subject to low credit risk due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks.
Credit risk relating to trade receivable, securities given is considered negligible as counterparties are having goodcredit quality.
h. Capital Management
For the purposes of Company's capital management, Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders ofthe Company and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is toensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages itscapital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of thefinancial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment toshareholders or issue new shares. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. TheCompany's policy is to keep the gearing ratio of less than 50%.
The Company net debt includes interest bearing loan and borrowing, lease liabilities less cash and cashequivalents.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims toensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capitalstructure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately callloans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans andborrowing in the current year.
