j. Provisions (other than for employee benefits)

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that
can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

k. Revenue

(i) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures, sales and trades in plywood and allied products. Sales are recognised when control of
the products has transferred. Once the products are dispatched/delivered to the dealer, the dealer has full discretion
over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the dealer's
acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risk
of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the dealer, and either the dealer has accepted the products in
accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence
that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, if any.
Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume
discounts. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

Generally, the Company receives short term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in Ind AS
115, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing

component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the
customer and when the customer pays for those goods will be one year or less.

l. Government grants

Grants from Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and the Company will comply with the conditions attached thereto.

Government grants related to revenue are recognised in the Statement of Standalone Profit and Loss on a systematic
and rational basis in the periods in which the Company recognises the related costs for which the grants are intended to
compensate and are netted off with the related expenditure. If not related to a specific expenditure, it is taken as income
and presented under "Other Operating Revenue”.

m. Leases and Right to use assets

With effect from 01 April 2019, the Company has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach. The details
of accounting policies under Ind AS 17 are disclosed separately if they are different from those under Ind AS 116.

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains,
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company
assesses whether:

Ý the contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be
physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a
substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

Ý the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the
period of use; and

Ý the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making
rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the
decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct
the use of the asset if either:

Ý the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

Ý the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 April 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration
in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land
and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for
the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Under Ind AS 116: (as a lessee)

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset
is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle
and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease
incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives
of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property plant and equipment. In addition, the
right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the
lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

Ý fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

Ý variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date;

Ý amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

Ý the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an
optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early
termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate
of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of
whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property and lease liabilities
separately in the statement of financial position

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of office premises
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.

n. Recognition of dividend income, interest income or expense and insurance claim.

Dividend income is recognised in Statement of Standalone Profit and Loss on the date on which the Company's right to
receive payment is established.

Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

Ý the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or

Ý the amortised cost of the financial liability.

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset
(when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have
become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest
income reverts to the gross basis.

o. Income tax

Income tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in the
Statement of Standalone Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.

(i) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the
best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related

to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are off set only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.”

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes (tax base). Deferred tax
is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

Ý temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;

Ý temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and joint arrangements to the extent that the
Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they
will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

Ý taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be
available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent
that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will
be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised.

Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to
the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company
expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax
entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be
realised simultaneously.

p. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to
the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs
are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Where there is an unrealised exchange loss which is treated as an adjustment to interest and subsequently there is a
realised or unrealised gain in respect of the settlement or translation of the same borrowing, the gain to the extent of
the loss previously recognised as an adjustment is recognised as an adjustment to interest.

q. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are
recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

r. Dividends

Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends
are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Board of Directors of the Company.

s. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash-on-deposit with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

t. Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions
of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income
or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities of the Company are segregated.

u. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

v. Operating segment

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's
other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments' operating results are
reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to
the segments and assess their performance. The CODM consists of the Executive Chairman cum Managing Director, Joint
Managing Director & CEO and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company business activity fall within a single operating segment, namely 'Plywood and allied products.”

w. Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present
obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but disclosures its existence in the standalone
financial statements.

3A. Recent Pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The
Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment
and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:

1. Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants: The Company has
adopted Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to Ind AS 1) and non-current Liabilities
with Covenants (Amendments to Ind AS 1) from 1 April 2025. These amendments apply retrospectively and clarify the
criteria for determining whether a liability should be classified as current or non-current. They also introduce new
disclosure requirements for non-current. loan liabilities that are subject to covenants within 12 months after the
reporting period.

The Company has no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.

1. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, applicable w.e.f. April 1,
2025 - The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform users of financial statements of the existence of supplier
finance arrangements and explain the nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount of liabilities and the range
of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has been amended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may
cause concentration of liquidity risk. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has
determined that it does not have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.

2. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - The amendments provide a
temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and disclose that they have applied the
relief. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have
any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.

3B. Standards issued but not yet effective

Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, If a covenant breach occurs on or before the reporting date and the
liability becomes payable on demand, it must be classified as current, even if the lender subsequently agrees not to
demand repayment. It is classified as current because, at the reporting date, the entity does not have the right to defer
settlement for at least 12 months. However, if the lender has already provided—by the reporting date—a grace period
extending at least 12 months beyond that date, during which the breach can be rectified and repayment cannot be
demanded, the liability is classified as non-current.

This amendment is to be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2026, in
accordance with Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

(b) Security

As at 31 March 2026, property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of H8,949.89 lakhs (31 March 2025: H9,507.45

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU
assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

(b) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares

The Company participates in a supplier finance arrangement under which its suppliers may elect to receive early payment
of their invoices from a bank. Under the arrangement, the bank agrees to pay amounts due to participating suppliers
in respect of invoices owed by the Company and the Company repays the bank at a later date. The principal purpose
of this arrangement is to facilitate efficient payment processing and provide the willing suppliers early payment terms,
compared with the related invoice payment due date.

The Company has not derecognised the original trade payables relating to the arrangement because neither a legal
release was obtained nor was the original liability substantially modified on entering into the arrangement.

From the Company's perspective, the arrangement does not significantly extend payment terms beyond the normal terms
agreed with other suppliers that are not participating; however, the arrangement does provide participating suppliers
with the benefit of early payment. Additionally, the Company does not incur any additional interest towards the bank on
the amounts due to the suppliers. The Company therefore includes the amounts subject to the arrangement within trade
payables because the nature and function of these payables remains the same as those of other trade payables.

23. Trade payables (Contd.)

AH payables under the arrangement are classified as current as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.

Non cash changes

There were no significant non-cash changes in the carrying amount of financial liabilities subject to supplier
finance arrangements.

The payments to the bank are included within operating cash flows because they continue to be part of the normal
operating cycle of the Group and their principal nature remains operating—

i.e., payments for the purchase of goods and services. The payments to a supplier by the bank of H6,135.24 lakhs are
considered non-cash transactions. For additional information about how these arrangements affect the Group's exposure
to liquidity risk, see Note 45

30. Employees benefits expense (Contd.)

The Company contributes its Employee State Insurance (ESI) contribution with Employees' State Insurance Corporation
(ESIC) maintained by Government agencies, contributions made by the Company for ESI is based on the current
salaries. In the ESI scheme, contributions are also made by the employees. The annual contribution amount of H31.04
lakhs (31 March 2025: H30.58 lakhs) has been charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in relation to
the above defined contribution scheme.

(b) Defined benefit plan: Retirement benefits in the form of gratuity is considered as defined benefit obligations and
is provided for on the basis of third party actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method, as at the
date of the Balance Sheet. Every Employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to gratuity
on terms not less favourable than the provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The scheme is funded with
insurance company.

(a) The Board of Directors in their meeting held on 03 June 2025 have approved transfer of 30% of shareholding held in
Greenwud Panel Limited (formely known as Greenply Middle East Limited), Dubai, to one of the existing shareholders,
for a consideration of H425.89 lakhs (USD 4,91,774). Post approval, the aforesaid transactions was completed on 24
June 2025 (being the effective date of transfer) and the Company had transferred the shareholding in favour of the
aforesaid shareholder for the agreed consideration. This had resulted in loss on sale of investment of H120.99 lakhs
and the same has been shown under exceptional items.

Considering the prevailing geo-political situation in the Middle East, there has been no significant operational
activity at Greenwud Panel Limited (formerly known as Greenply Middle East Limited) (GMEL), Dubai. Consequently,
the business performance of the entity has fallen short of the approved budgets and business plan over a sustained
period. These factors, along with other matters, have adversely impacted the recoverability of the Company's
investments, financial guarantees extended to banks for loans availed by GMEL and advances.

The Company has therefore recognised a provision for diminution in the value of its residual investment amounting
to H269.73 lakhs. Additionally, the financial guarantee of H947.75 lakhs and advances paid of H298.07 lakhs have been
provided for as impairment loss and loss allowance, respectively, during the year.

During the previous year ended 31 March 2025, Company had recognised provision for impairment of investments
of H660.55 lakhs for investments held in Greenply Holdings Pte. Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of the Company).

(b) On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the
Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working
Conditions Code, 2020, collectively referred to as the "New Labour Codes”, consolidating 29 existing labour laws.
The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs on December 30, 2025, to facilitate
assessment of the financial impact arising from these regulatory changes. The Company has assessed and disclosed
the incremental impact of these changes on the basis of the best information available. Considering the materiality
and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact under "Exceptional
items” in the standalone statement of profit and loss during the year ended March 31, 2026. The incremental impact
consisting of gratuity of H213.57 Lakhs and long-term compensated absences of H126.52 Lakhs. The Company continues
to monitor the finalisation of Central /State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the
Labour Code and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments as needed.

36. Share based payments

41. Fair value measurement

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in forced or liquidation sale.

The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categories the value into 3 levels. The inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:

Level 1: The hierarchy uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of all bonds
which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price or dealer quotations as at the reporting date.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example traded bonds, over
the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data
and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in
Level 3.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value - recurring fair value measurements are as follows:

The management assessed that trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, other bank balances, trade payable, cash
credits and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the current maturities
of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(a) The fair value of the quoted investments are based on market price at the respective reporting date.

(b) The fair value of derivatives (forward foreign exchange contracts,etc) is calculated as the present value determined
using forward exchange rates and interest rate curve of the respective currencies based on report obtained from
banking partners.

(c) The fair value of unquoted investments included in level 3 is determined using discounted cash flows, net asset
value approach. Significant unobservable inputs comprise long term growth rates, market conditions of the specific
industry etc. However, the changes in the fair values due to changes in unobservable inputs will not be material to
the financial statements.

There were no transfer of financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value between level 1 and level 3, or transfer into
or out of level 3 during the year ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.

financial performance.

exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer. The Company's risk
management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the
Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk
assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and
the Company's activities.”

This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives,
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital.

The sources of risks which the Company is exposed to and their management is given below:

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss of the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers and loans. Credit arises
when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade
receivables) and from its financing/investing activities, including deposits with bank, foreign exchange transactions
and financial guarantees. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty. The
carrying amount of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

Trade receivable

The management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for
creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The
Company's review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information,
industry information and in some cases bank references.

Exposure to credit risks

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
However management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including
the default risk associated with the industry. Details of concentration percentage of revenue generated from top
customer and top five customers are stated below:

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at
reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities
and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The
Company's finance team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, Processes
and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company's liquidity
position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to
meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.”

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting
date based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the USD and EURO against Indian Rupee at 31 March would
have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity
and profit or loss by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular
interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the
price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that effect market
risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including
investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings. The Company uses derivatives to
manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the management.

(a) Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency,
which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in
foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the foreign currency borrowings, import of raw materials and spare
parts, capital expenditure, exports of finished goods. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising
from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies and standard
operating procedures. It uses derivative instruments like forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.

credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

period are as follows:
