Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation. When the Company expectssome or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,under an insurance contract, the reimbursement isrecognised as a separate asset, but only when thereimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating toa provision is presented in the statement of profit and lossnet of any reimbursement.
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 theliability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised as afinance cost.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, thelikelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement isdetermined by considering the class of obligations as awhole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood ofan outflow with respect to any one item included in thesame class of obligations might be small.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund andemployee state insurance is a defined contribution plans.The Company has no obligation, other than thecontribution payable to the plans. The Companyrecognises contribution payable to the plans as anexpense, when an employee renders the related service.If the contribution payable to the scheme for servicereceived before the balance sheet date exceeds thecontribution already paid, the deficit payable to thescheme is recognised as a liability after deducting thecontribution already paid. If the contribution already paidexceeds the contribution due for services received beforethe balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as anasset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, forexample, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan inIndia, which requires contributions to be made to aseparately administered fund.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefitplan is determined using the projected unit credit methodby actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involvesmaking various assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salary
increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to thecomplexities involved in the valuation and its long-termnature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive tochanges in these assumptions. All assumptions arereviewed at each reporting date.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains andlosses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amountsincluded in net interest on the net defined benefit liabilityand the return on plan assets (excluding amountsincluded in net interest on the net defined benefit liability),are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with acorresponding debit or credit to retained earningsthrough OCI in the period in which they occur.Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss insubsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate tothe net defined benefit liability or asset. The Companyrecognises the following changes in the net definedbenefit obligation as an expense in the consolidatedstatement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs,past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailmentsand non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
- Remeasurement
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilisedwithin the next 12 months, is treated as short-termemployee benefit. 'The company measures the expectedcost of such absences as the additional amount that itexpects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement thathas accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company's net obligation in respect of long termemployee benefits for employees, being long termcompensated absences, is the amount of future benefitsthat employee have earned in return for the service in thecurrent and prior periods. The liability is determined by anindependent actuary, using Projected Unit Credit Method.Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately asincome or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.Obligation is measured at the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows using a discount rate that is determinedby reference to the market yields at the Balance Sheetdate on Government Bonds where the currency andterms of the Government Bonds are consistent with thecurrency and estimated terms of the defined benefitobligation.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to afinancial asset of one entity and a financial liability orequity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value ,plus inthe case of financial assets not recorded at fair valuethrough profit or loss, transaction costs that areattributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.However trade receivables which do not contain asignificant financing component are measured attransaction price. Purchases or sales of financial assetsthat require delivery of assets within a time frameestablished by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the tradedate, i.e., the date that the Company commits topurchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financialassets are classified in four categories:
• Debt instruments at amortised cost
• Equity instruments measured at fair value throughother comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers forgoods sold or services performed in the ordinary courseof business and reflect the Company’s unconditional rightto consideration (that is, payment is due only on thepassage of time). Trade receivables are recognisedinitially at the transaction price as they do not containsignificant financing components. The Company holdsthe trade receivables with the objective of collecting thecontractual cash flows and therefore measures themsubsequently at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method, less loss allowance
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Companyapplies the simplified approach required by Ind AS 109,which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognisedfrom initial recognition of the receivables
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost ifboth the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whoseobjective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cashflows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specifieddates to cash flows that are solely payments of principaland interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.This category is the most relevant to the Company. Afterinitial measurement, such financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost iscalculated by taking into account any discount orpremium on acquisition and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included infinance income in the profit or loss. The losses arisingfrom impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocatinginterest income over the relevant period.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount atwhich the financial asset is measured at initial recognitionminus the principal repayments, plus the cumulativeamortisation using the effective interest method of anydifference between that initial amount and the maturityamount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The grosscarrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised costof a financial asset before adjusting for any lossallowance.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 aremeasured at fair value. Equity instruments which are heldfor trading and contingent consideration recognised byan acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equityinstruments, the Company may make an irrevocableelection to present in other comprehensive incomesubsequent changes in the fair value. The Companymakes such election on an instrument-by-instrumentbasis. The classification is made on initial recognition andis irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrumentas at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on theinstrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in theOCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI toP&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Companymay transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL categoryare measured at fair value with all changes recognised inthe P&L.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financialasset or part of a group of similar financial assets) isprimarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’sbalance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset haveexpired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cashflows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to paythe received cash flows in full without material delay to athird party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; andeither (a) the Company has transferred substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company hasneither transferred nor retained substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, but has transferred control ofthe asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from an asset or has entered into apass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to whatextent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.When it has neither transferred nor retained substantiallyall of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred
control of the asset, the Company continues to recognisethe transferred asset to the extent of the Company’scontinuing involvement. In that case, the Company alsorecognises an associated liability. The transferred assetand the associated liability are measured on a basis thatreflects the rights and obligations that the Company hasretained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured at thelower of the original carrying amount of the asset and themaximum amount of consideration that the Companycould be required to repay.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company appliesexpected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement andrecognition of impairment loss on the following financialassets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and aremeasured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities,deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b) Lease receivables under Ind AS 116
c) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receivecash or another financial asset that result fromtransactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
d) Loan commitments which are not measured as atFVTPL
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ forrecognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
• All lease receivables resulting from transactions withinthe scope of Ind AS 116
The application of simplified approach does not requirethe Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, itrecognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetimeECLs at each reporting date, right from its initialrecognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financialassets and risk exposure, the Company determines thatwhether there has been a significant increase in the creditrisk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increasedsignificantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide forimpairment loss. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequentperiod, credit quality of the instrument improves such thatthere is no longer a significant increase in credit risk sinceinitial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognisingimpairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting fromall possible default events over the expected life of afinancial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of thelifetime ECL which results from default events that arepossible within 12 months after the reporting date.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair valueand, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and otherpayables, loans and borrowings including bankoverdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivativefinancial instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on theirclassification, as described below:
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans andborrowings are subsequently measured at amortised costusing the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised inprofit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as wellas through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account anydiscount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs thatare an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation isincluded as finance costs in the statement of profit andloss.
This category generally applies to borrowings.
Borrowings are derecognised from the balance sheetwhen the obligation specified in the contract isextinguished, cancelled or expired. The differencebetween the carrying amount of a financial liability thathas been extinguished or transferred to another party andthe consideration paid, including any non-cash assetstransferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit orloss as other gains/(losses).
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless, atthe end of the reporting period, the Company has anunconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for atleast 12 months after the reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprisecash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits withan original maturity of three months or less, which aresubject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash andcash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits,as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts asthey are considered an integral part of the Company’scash management.
p. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby profit/(loss) after tax is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or
accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. Thecash flows from operating, investing and financingactivities of the Company are segregated based on theavailable information.
q. Operating Segment
The Chief Operational Decision Maker (MD) monitors theoperating results of the business segments separately forthe purpose of making decisions about resourceallocation and performance assessment. Segmentperformance is evaluated based on profit and lossreported by the segment periodically.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reportingare in line with the accounting policies of the Company.Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assetsand segment liabilities have been identified to segmentson the basis of their relationship to the operating activitiesof the segment. Accordingly, the Company operates insingle segment viz., Milk and milk products.
r. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing theprofit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect ofextraordinary items, if any) by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year.Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing theprofit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect ofextraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend,interest and other charges to expense or income relatingto the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weightedaverage number of equity shares considered for derivingbasic earnings per share and the weighted averagenumber of equity shares which could have been issuedon the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only iftheir conversion to equity shares would decrease the netprofit per share from continuing ordinary operations.Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to beconverted as at the beginning of the period, unless theyhave been issued at a later date. The dilutive potentialequity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivablehad the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e.average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutivepotential equity shares are determined independently foreach period presented. The number of equity shares andpotentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for sharesplits/reverse share splits and bonus shares ,rights issueas appropriate.
s. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified asheld for sale if their carrying amount will be recoveredprincipally through a sale transaction rather than throughcontinuing use. This condition is regarded as met onlywhen the asset (or disposal group) is available forimmediate sale in its present condition subject only toterms that are usual and customary for sales of suchasset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable.
Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed salewithin one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale aremeasured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a presentobligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognisedbecause it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses itsexistence in the financial statements.
The Company accounts the expenditure incurred towards Corporate Social Responsibility as required under the Act asa charge to the statement of profit and loss account.
v. Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest crores as per therequirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated
Inherent in the application of many of the accounting policies used in preparing the Financial statements is the need forManagement to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actualoutcomes could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates arerecognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accountingpolicies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information are included in thefollowing notes:
(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Refer Note f)
(ii) Assessment of impairment for long outstanding Capital work in progress projects on hold (Refer Note k)
(iii) Assets and obligations relating to employee benefits (Refer Note m)
(iv) Valuation and measurement of income taxes and deferred taxes (Refer Note e)
(v) Measurement of leases (Refer note i)
(vi) Assessment of Contingent liabilities and commitments (Refer Note t)
(ii) No trade or other receivables are due from directors or other officers of the Company either severally or jointly with anyother person, nor from firms or private companies respectively in which any director is a partner, a director or a member.Trade receivables are non-interest bearing.
(iii) The Company sells goods on advance payment terms. In cases of customers with certain nature of products wherecredit is allowed, the average credit period on such sale of goods ranges from 1 day to 45 days depending on the natureof the product. The Company's receivables turnover is quick and historically, there was no significant defaults on accountof those customer in the past.

(a) Gratuity benefits provided by the Company
In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments(the “Gratuity Plan”) and covers certain categories of employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum gratuitypayment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment. The amount of the payment is based onthe respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Liabilities in respect of theGratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the GratuityFund maintained with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk andsalary risk.
Investment risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which isdetermined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. When there is a deepmarket for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for these plans,investments are made in government securities, debt instruments, short-term debt instruments, equity instruments andasset-backed, trust-structured securities as per the notification of Ministry of Finance.
Interest risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by anincrease in the return on the plan’s investments.
Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of themortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the planparticipants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of planparticipants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifyingemployees towards provident fund, which is defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligations other than tomake the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss as they accrue. Theamount recognised as an expense towards contribution to provident fund for the year aggregated to ^12.20 (March 31,2024: ^11.31) and is included in “contribution to provident and other funds”.
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifyingemployees towards Employee State Insurance, which is defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligations otherthan to make the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss as they accrue.The amount recognised as an expense towards contribution to employee state insurance for the year aggregated to ^1.53(March 31,2024: ^1.63) and is included in Staff Welfare Expenses.
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and theright-of-use assets. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition thattriggers those payments occurs and are included in the line other expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease in which case the leaseliability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using arevised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The Company does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities as the current assets are sufficientto meet the obligations related to lease liabilities as and when they fall due.
The Company has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of a similar assets in similar economic environmentwith similar end date.
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create and economic incentive toexercise 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 is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The Management assessed that trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, borrowings, tradepayables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of theseinstruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchangedin a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly(i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company's assets and liabilities.
Fair value of instruments measured at amortised cost
Fair value of instruments measured at amortised cost for which fair value is also the same as calculated using Level 3inputs:
There have been no significant change between the discounting rate used on the date of transaction and used at the endof the period. Hence, the carrying value is taken at fair value.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and othercurrent financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature
Valuation Methodology
The Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss account and fair valuethrough other comprehensive income.
Valuation technique to determine the fair value
The mutual funds are considered at their fair value which is line with their respective values in their Net assets valuedeclarations.
The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose ofthese financial liabilities is to finance its operation. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and otherreceivables, cash & cash equivalents and other bank balances that are derived directly from its operation. The Company alsoholds FVTOCI and FVTPL investments and enters into derivative transactions.
The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, like credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. TheCompany’s primary risk management focus is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financialperformance. The Company’s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify andanalyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliancewith the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in marketconditions and the Company’s activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing theCompany’s risk assessment and management policies and processes.
a. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leadingto a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthinessas well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on acontinuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instrumentsthat are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, derivative financialinstruments, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of theCompany result in material concentration of credit risk.The Expected credit loss was analysed for all the financial assets andit was concluded to be Nil.
Trade and other receivables
The Company sells goods on advance payment terms. In cases of customers with certain nature of products where credit isallowed, the average credit period on such sale of goods ranges from 1 day to 45 days depending on the nature of theproduct. The customer credit risk is managed by the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating tocustomer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on the individual credit limits which aredefined in accordance with this assessment and outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company'sreceivables turnover is quick and historically, there was no significant defaults on account of those customers in the past.
Ind AS requires an entity to recognise in profit or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required toadjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised in accordance with Ind AS 109.The Company assesses at each date of statements of financial position whether a financial asset or a group of financial assetsis impaired. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amountequal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initialrecognition.
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables basedon a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted forforward-looking information. Currently the Company has not provided any provision in the books as per Ind AS 109 due tothe fact that there are no historical credit losses observed in the past.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is^28.16 and ^10.06 as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively, being the total carrying amount of balances withtrade receivables.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity riskmanagement is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Companymanages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and borrowing facilities, by continuouslymonitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. TheCompany has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for it's short term, medium term and long termfunding requirement.
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repaymentperiods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliestdate on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchangerates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes.i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change inmarket interest rates. In order to optimise the Company’s position with regards to interest income and interest expenses andto manage the interest rate risk, management performs a comprehensive corporate interest risk management by balancingthe proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit or loss and othercomprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities aredenominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries andeconomic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations inexchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar against the functional currencies ofthe Company. The Company, as per its risk management policy, uses derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreignexchange wherever applicable. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing itsexposure to exchange rate risks. It hedges a part of these risks by using derivative financial instruments in line with its riskmanagement policies.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in are as mentioned in Note 39.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it is able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to thestakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Company determines the amount of capitalrequired on the basis of an annual budgeting exercise, future capital projects outlay, etc., The funding requirements are metthrough equity, internal accruals and borrowings (current/non-current).
