The Company recognizes provisions when apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event exists and it is probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle such obligationand the amount of such obligation can be reliablyestimated. Provisions are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate.
The amount recognised as a provision is thebest estimate of the consideration required tosettle the present obligation at the end of thereporting period, taking into account the risksand uncertainties surrounding the obligation.If the effect of time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risksspecific to the liability. When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect ofpossible obligations that arise from past events,whose existence would be confirmed by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events beyond the control ofthe Company or a present obligation that is notrecognised because it is not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settlethe obligation. Contingent liability also arises inextremely rare cases where there is a liabilitythat cannot be recognised because it cannotbe measured reliably. The Company does notrecognize a contingent liability but discloses itsexistence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised in thefinancial statements. However, it is disclosed onlywhen an inflow of economic benefits is probable
Financial assets and financial liabilities arerecognised when the Company becomes a partyto the contractual provisions of the instruments.Financial assets and financial liabilities are initiallymeasured at fair value, except for trade receivableswhich are initially measured at transaction price.Transaction costs that are directly attributable tothe acquisition or issue of financial assets andfinancial liabilities (other than financial assetsand financial liabilities at fair value through profitor loss) are added to or deducted from the fairvalue of the financial assets or financial liabilities,as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transactioncosts directly attributable to the acquisition offinancial assets or financial liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or loss are recognised immediatelyin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
a) Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are recognised when theCompany becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. On initialrecognition, a financial asset is recognised atfair value except for trade receivables whichare initially measured at transaction price. Incase of financial assets which are recognisedat fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL),its transaction costs are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss. In other cases,the transaction costs are attributed to theacquisition value of the financial asset.
The effective interest method is a methodof calculating the amortised cost of a debtinstrument and of allocating interest incomeover the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discountsestimated future cash receipts (including allfees and points paid or received that forman integral part of the effective interest rate,transaction costs and other premiums ordiscounts) through the expected life of thedebt instrument, or, where appropriate, ashorter period, to the net carrying amount oninitial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interestbasis for debt instruments other than thosefinancial assets classified as at FVTPL.Interest income is recognised in profit or lossand is included in the "Other income" lineitem.
For subsequent measurement, the Companyclassifies a financial asset in accordancewith the below criteria:
i. The Company’s business model formanaging the financial asset and
ii. The contractual cash flowcharacteristics of the financial asset.
Based on the above criteria, the Companyclassifies its financial assets into thefollowing categories:
A financial asset is measured at theamortised cost if both the followingconditions are met:
a) The Company’s businessmodel objective for managingthe financial asset is to holdfinancial assets in order to collectcontractual cash flows, and
b) The contractual terms of thefinancial asset give rise onspecified dates to cash flows thatare solely payments of principaland interest on the principalamount outstanding.
Such financial assets are subsequentlymeasured at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method. Theamortised cost of a financial asset isalso adjusted for loss allowance, if any.
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCIif both of the following conditions aremet:
a) The Company’s business modelobjective for managing thefinancial asset is achieved both bycollecting contractual cash flowsand selling the financial assets,and
Investments in equity instruments,classified under financial assets, areinitially measured at fair value. TheCompany may, on initial recognition,irrevocably elect to measure thesame either at FVTOCI or FVTPL. TheCompany makes such election on aninstrument-by-instrument basis. Fairvalue changes on an equity instrumentare recognised as other income in theStatement of Profit and Loss unless theCompany has elected to measure suchinstrument at FVTOCI.
This category does not apply to any ofthe financial assets of the Company.
A financial asset is measured at FVTPLunless it is measured at amortised costor at FVTOCI as explained above.
This is a residual category applied toall other investments of the Companyexcluding investments in subsidiariesand joint ventures. Such financialassets are subsequently measured atfair value at each reporting date. Fairvalue changes are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss. Dividendincome on the investments in equityinstruments are recognised as 'otherincome’ in the Statement of Profit andLoss.
The fair value of financial assets denominatedin a foreign currency is determined in thatforeign currency and translated at the spotrate at the end of each reporting period.
For foreign currency denominated financialassets measured at amortised cost andFVTPL, the exchange differences arerecognised in the Statement of Profit andLoss except for those which are designatedas hedging instruments in a hedgingrelationship
A financial asset (or, where applicable, apart of a financial asset or part of a groupof similar financial assets) is derecognised(i.e. removed from the Company’s BalanceSheet) when any of the following occurs:
The contractual rights to cash flows from thefinancial asset expires;
i. The Company transfers its contractualrights to receive cash flows of thefinancial asset and has substantiallytransferred all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset;
ii. The Company retains the contractualrights to receive cash flows but assumesa contractual obligation to pay the cashflows without material delay to one ormore recipients under a 'pass-through’arrangement (thereby substantiallytransferring all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset);
iii. The Company neither transfers norretains substantially all risk and rewardsof ownership and does not retain controlover the financial asset.
In cases where Company has neithertransferred nor retained substantially all ofthe risks and rewards of the financial asset,but retains control of the financial asset,the Company continues to recognize suchfinancial asset to the extent of its continuinginvolvement in the financial asset. In thatcase, the Company also recognizes anassociated liability.
The financial asset and the associatedliability are measured on a basis that reflects
the rights and obligations that the Companyhas retained.
On derecognition of a financial asset, thedifference between the asset’s carryingamount and the sum of the considerationreceived and receivable and the cumulativegain or loss that had been recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated inequity is recognised in profit or loss if suchgain or loss would have otherwise beenrecognised in profit or loss on disposal ofthat financial asset.
The Company applies expected creditlosses (ECL) model for measurementand recognition of loss allowance on thefollowing:
i. Trade receivables
ii. Financial assets measured at amortisedcost (other than trade receivables)
In case of trade receivables, the Companyfollows a simplified approach wherein anamount equal to lifetime ECL is measuredand recognised as loss allowance.
In case of other assets (listed as ii above),the Company determines if there has beena significant increase in credit risk of thefinancial asset since initial recognition.If the credit risk of such assets has notincreased significantly, an amount equal to12-month ECL is measured and recognisedas loss allowance. However, if credit risk hasincreased significantly, an amount equal tolifetime ECL is measured and recognised asloss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of thefinancial asset improves such that there isno longer a significant increase in credit risksince initial recognition, the Company revertsto recognising impairment loss allowancebased on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractualcash flows that are due to the Company inaccordance with the contract and all thecash flows that the entity expects to receive(i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate.
12-month ECL are a portion of the lifetimeECL which result from default events that arepossible within 12 months from the reportingdate. Lifetime ECL are the expected creditlosses resulting from all possible defaultevents over the expected life of a financialasset.
ECL are measured in a manner that theyreflect unbiased and probability weightedamounts determined by a range of outcomes,taking into account the time value of moneyand other reasonable information availableas a result of past events, current conditionsand forecasts of future economic conditions.
As a practical expedient, the Companyuses a provision matrix to measure lifetimeECL on its portfolio of trade receivables.The provision matrix is prepared based onhistorically observed default rates over theexpected life of trade receivables and isadjusted for forward-looking estimates. Ateach reporting date, the historically observeddefault rates and changes in the forward¬looking estimates are updated, if required.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)recognised during the period is recognised asexpense/ income in the Statement of Profitand Loss under the head 'Other expenses’ /'Other income’.
Debt and equity instruments issued by aCompany entity are classified as eitherfinancial liabilities or as equity in accordancewith the substance of the contractualarrangements and the definitions of afinancial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract thatevidences a residual interest in the assets ofan entity after deducting all of its liabilities.Equity instruments issued by a Companyentity are recognised at the proceedsreceived, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equityinstruments is recognised and deducteddirectly in equity. No gain or loss is recognisedin profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issueor cancellation of the Company’s own equityinstruments.
Financial liabilities are recognisedwhen the Company becomes a partyto the contractual provisions of theinstrument. Financial liabilities areinitially measured at fair value.
Financial liabilities are subsequentlymeasured at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate method. Financialliabilities carried at fair value throughprofit or loss are measured at fair valuewith all changes in fair value recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has not designated anyfinancial liability as at FVTPL.
For financial liabilities that aredenominated in a foreign currency andare measured at amortised cost atthe end of each reporting period, theforeign exchange gains and losses aredetermined based on the amortised costof the instruments and are recognisedin profit or loss.
The fair value of financial liabilitiesdenominated in a foreign currency isdetermined in that foreign currency andtranslated at the closing rate at the endof the reporting period. For financialliabilities that are measured as at FVTPL,the foreign exchange component formspart of the fair value gains or losses andis recognised in Statement of Profit andLoss.
A financial guarantee contract is acontract that requires the issuer tomake specified payments to reimbursethe holder for a loss it incurs becauseentity on whose behalf the guarantee isissued by the Company, fails to makepayments when due in accordance withthe terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issuedby the Company are initially measuredat their fair values and are subsequently
measured (if not designated as at Fairvalue though profit or loss) at the higherof:
• the amount of impairmentloss allowance determined inaccordance with requirementsof Ind AS 109; and
• the amount initially recognisedless, when appropriate, thecumulative amount of incomerecognised.
A financial liability is derecognisedwhen the obligation under the liabilityis discharged or cancelled or expires.When an existing financial liability isreplaced by another from the samelender on substantially different terms,or the terms of an existing liabilityare substantially modified, such anexchange or modification is treatedas the derecognition of the originalliability and the recognition of a newliability. The difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liabilityderecognised and the considerationpaid is recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividingthe net profit for the period attributable to the equityshareholders of the Company by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstandingduring the period. The weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the period andfor all periods presented is adjusted for events,such as bonus shares, other than the conversionof potential equity shares that have changed thenumber of equity shares outstanding, without acorresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earningsper share, the net profit for the period attributableto equity shareholders and the weighted averagenumber of shares outstanding during the periodis adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potentialequity shares.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statementsrequires management to make judgments, estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amountsof revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, andthe accompanying disclosures, and the disclosureof contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomesthat require a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which theestimate is revised if the revision affects only thatperiod or in the period of revision or future periods if therevision affects both current and future periods.
Following are the critical judgements, assumptionsand use of estimates that have the most significanteffects on the amounts recognised in these financialstatements:
The Company has adopted useful lives of PPE,Investment property and intangible assetsas described in Note 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 above.Depreciation and amortisation are based onmanagement estimates of the future useful livesof the PPE, Investment property and intangibleassets. Estimates may change due to technologicaldevelopments, competition, changes in marketconditions and other factors and may result inchanges in the estimated useful life and in thedepreciation and amortisation charges. TheCompany reviews the estimated useful lives ofPPE, Investment property and intangible assets atthe end of each reporting period.
In respect of leasehold lands, considering theterms and conditions of the leases, particularly inrespect of the transfer of substantially all risks andrewards incidental to ownership of an asset, it isconcluded that they are in the nature of leases.
In the process of testing of impairment ofinvestment in a subsidiary where there areindications, the Company is required to estimate
the value in use which is based on the future cashflows, after taking into account past experienceand management’s best estimate about futuredevelopments. The Company uses judgement inselecting and estimating such inputs based onhistorical data and existing market conditions aswell as forward looking estimates at the end ofeach reporting period.
The cost of post-employment benefits isdetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments inthe future. These include the determination ofthe discount rates; future salary increases andmortality rates. Due to the complexities involvedin the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions. All assumptions are reviewedannually.
The impairment provisions of financial assets andcontract assets are based on assumptions aboutrisk of default and expected timing of collection.The Company uses judgment in makingthese assumptions and selecting the inputsfor the impairment calculation, based on theCompany’s past history of collections, customer’screditworthiness, existing market conditions aswell as forward looking estimates at the end ofeach reporting period.
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in theperiod when it becomes probable that therewill be a future outflow of funds resulting from
past operations or events and the amount ofcash outflow can be reliably estimated. Thetiming of recognition and quantification of theliability requires the application of judgementto existing facts and circumstances, which canbe subject to change. The carrying amounts ofprovisions and liabilities are reviewed regularlyand revised to take account of changing factsand circumstances. In the normal course ofbusiness, contingent liabilities may arise fromlitigations and other claims against the Company.Judgment is required to determine the probabilityof such potential liabilities actually crystallising. Incase the probability is low, the same is treated ascontingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosedin the notes but are not provided for in the financialstatements.
Provision for current tax is made based onreasonable estimate of taxable income computedas per the prevailing tax laws. The amount of suchprovision is based on various factors includinginterpretation of tax regulations, changes intax laws, acceptance of tax positions in the taxassessments etc.
The Company has contributed more than20% equity shares in one company in order toqualify for purchase of captive power. As per theshareholders’ agreement, the Company doesnot have any right to appoint or nominate anydirector on the board of the said company andalso does not have any right to participate in thefinancial and operating policy decisions. Hence,the management has concluded that the saidcompany is not an associate of the Company.
Fair valuation of investment property as at 31st March, 2025 and 31st March, 2024 has been arrived at on the basisof valuation carried out by an independent valuer not related to the Company. The valuer is registered with theauthority which governs the valuers in India, and in the opinion of management he has appropriate qualificationsand recent experience in the valuation of properties. For the investment property, the fair value was determinedbased on the capitalisation of net income method where the market rentals of all lettable units of the property areassessed by reference to the rentals achieved in the lettable units as well as other lettings of similar properties inthe neighbourhood. The capitalisation rate adopted is determined by reference to the yield rates observed by thevaluers for similar property in the locality and adjusted based on the valuer’s knowledge of the factors specific to theproperty. Thus, the significant unobservable inputs are as follows:
1. Monthly market rent, taking into account the difference in location, and individual factors, such as frontage andsize, between the comparable property and the property; and
2. Capitalisation rate, taking into account the capitalisation of rental income potential, nature of the property andprevailing market conditions.

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for the purpose of resource allocation andassessment of segment performance focuses on single operating segment of 'Chemicals’ comprising of Bulk Chemicals,Fluorochemicals & Fluoropolymers. Electricity generated by captive power plant is consumed in chemical business andnot sold outside. Hence, the Company has only one reportable business segment under Ind AS 108 "Operating segment".The information is further analysed based on the different classes of products.
The Company contributes to the Government managed provident & pension fund for all qualifying employees.Contribution to Provident fund of ' 17.73 Crores (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 13.57 Crores) is recognised as an expenseand included in Contribution to Provident & Other funds’ in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss and ' 0.66Crores (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 2.66 Crores) is included in pre-operative expenses.
The Company has defined benefit plan for payment of gratuity to all qualifying employees. It is governed by thepayment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under this Act, an employee who has completed five years of service is entitledto the specified benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the employee’s length of services and salaryat retirement age. The Company’s defined benefit plan is unfunded. There are no other post retirement benefitsprovided by the Company.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out as at 31stMarch, 2025 by Mr. Charan Gupta, fellow member of the Institute of the Actuaries of India. The present value of thedefined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projectedunit credit method.
The Company manages its capital structure with a view that it will be able to continue as going concern whilemaximising the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of debt and total equity of the Company. The Company is not subjectto any externally imposed capital requirement. The Company has complied with the financial covenants in respect ofits borrowings.
The Company’s risk management committee reviews the capital structure of the Company. As part of this review, thecommittee considers the cost of capital and risk associated with each class of capital.
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade, other payables and lease liabilities. Themain purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations including acquisition of PPE andROU. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalentsand other bank balances. The Company also holds investments at FVTPL.
The Company’s corporate finance function provides services to the business, coordinates access to financial market,monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reportswhich analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of the risk. These risks include market risk (including currencyrisk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company doesn’t enter into or trade,financial instruments including derivative financial instruments for speculative purpose. The Board of directors of theCompany has taken all necessary actions to mitigate the financial risks identified on the basis of current informationand circumstances.
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 risk comprises three types of risks: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk andother price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, investments, trade and otherpayables, trade and other receivables, security deposits given, loans given to subsidiary etc.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due tochanges in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currencyvalues will impact the Company’s export revenues, imports of material/capital goods, services/royalty andborrowings etc. Exchange rate exposures are managed by entering into foreign currency forward contracts,options and swaps, as and when required.
The aim of the Company’s approach to management of currency risk is to leave the Company withminimum residual risk, after considering the net foreign currency exposure.
The Company is mainly exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures, with respect toUS Dollar and Euro.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in ' against therelevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internallyto key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possiblechange in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes unhedged external borrowings,payables, receivables and loans in currency other than the functional currency of the Company.
10% appreciation of the respective foreign currencies with respect to functional currency (i.e. INR) of theCompany would have led to additional impact in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. A 10%depreciation of the respective foreign currencies would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
through the impact of rate changes on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its interest raterisk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely. Hedging activities are also evaluatedregularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring that the most cost-effectivehedging strategies are applied.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk mainly on account of term loans from banks having bothfixed and floating interest rates. Bank cash credit facilities, certain short-term rupee loans and short-termforeign currency borrowings carry a floating rate of interest. The risk is managed by the Company bymaintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating-rate borrowings. The financial assets i.e., bankfixed deposits are at a fixed rate of interest.
The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to floating interest rates at the endof the reporting year for non-current borrowings. For floating rate borrowings, the analysis is preparedassuming that the amount of the liability at the end of the reporting year was outstanding for the wholeyear. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant,the Company’s profit/loss for the year ended 31st March 2025 would decrease/increase by ' 1.77 crores(net of tax) (for the year ended 31st March 2024, decrease /increase by ' 1.47 Crores (net of tax)).
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in markettraded price. The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Investmentsin equity instruments are in subsidiaries, joint venture and other company which are held for strategicpurposes rather than trading purposes. The Company does not actively trade in these investments. TheCompany’s investment in mutual funds are in debt funds. Hence the Company’s exposure to other pricerisk is minimal.
Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financialloss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk for trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents,investments, other bank balances, loans, other financial assets and financial guarantees.
Credit risk arising from balances with banks is limited because the counterparties are reputed banks. Further,investments in mutual funds are in debt funds of reputed mutual fund houses.
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company’s established policy,procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The average credit period on sales ofproducts is less than 90 days. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customerbase is large and diverse. There is no external customer representing more than 10% of the total balanceof trade receivables. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis.
For external trade receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company computes credit loss allowancebased on a provision matrix. The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default ratesover the expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The provisionmatrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:
Interest rate risk refers to the possibility that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk
The Company applies Expected Credit Losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of lossallowance on the loans given by the Company to the external party. ECL is the difference between allcontractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flowsthat the Company expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the effective interest rate.
The Company determines if there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial assetsince initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equalto 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Particulars of contractual maturities in respect of lease liabilities is as per Note 42.
The amounts of guarantees given on behalf of subsidiary, step-down subsidiary and other related partiesincluded in Note 45 represent the maximum amount the Company could be forced to settle for the full guaranteedamount. Based on the expectation at the end of the reporting year, the Company considers that it is more likelythan not that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.
The above liabilities will be met by the Company from internal accruals, realisation of current and non-currentfinancial assets (other than strategic investments). Further, the Company also has unutilised borrowing facilities.
12-month ECL are a portion of the lifetime ECL which result from default events that are possible within12 months from the reporting date. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possibledefault events over the expected life of a financial asset.
ECL are measured in a manner that they reflect unbiased and probability weighted amounts determinedby a range of outcomes, taking into account the time value of money and other reasonable informationavailable as a result of past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as expense/incomein the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss under the head 'Other expenses’/’Other income’.
The maximum amount of exposure in respect of guarantees/securities provided by the Company for fund-based and non-fund-based facilities availed by the subsidiary, step-down subsidiary and other relatedparties amounts to ' 462.62 crores (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 1,613.14 crores) - see Note 45. Based onthe past trends and expectation and conditions available at the end of the reporting period, the Companyconsiders that it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the guaranteesprovided.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has establishedan appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium andlong-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintainingadequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast andactual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repaymentperiods from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are thecontractual undiscounted cash flows.
(i) The inter-corporate deposits outstanding Nil (as at 31st March, 2024: ' 45.00 Crores) to GFCL EV ProductsLimited were unsecured and given for business purpose.
