Provisions are recognised when the Company has a presentobligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,it is probable that the Company will be required to settle theobligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate ofthe consideration required to settle the present obligationat the end of the reporting period, taking into account therisks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When aprovision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settlethe present obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows (when the effect of the time valueof money is material).The discount rate used to determinethe present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specificto the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passageof time is recognised as interest expense.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settlea provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certainthat reimbursement will be received and the amount of thereceivable can be measured reliably.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised whenthe Company becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof the instruments.
Financial assets (excluding trade receivables which do notcontain a significant financing component include deposits,interest receivables, insurance claims and advances toemployees) and financial liabilities are initially measured atfair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities(other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss) are added to or deducted fromthe fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, asappropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directlyattributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognisedimmediately in statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amountreported in the balance sheet, where there is a legallyenforcable right to offset the recognised amounts and thereis intention to settle on net basis or realise the assets andliabilities simultaneously.The legally enforcable right mustnot be contingent on future events and must be enforcablein the normal course of business and in the event of default,insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, wherebyprofit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accrualsof past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flowsfrom operating, investing and financing activities of theCompany are segregated based on the available information.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows,cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, depositsheld at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three monthsor less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cashand which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes invalue, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown withinborrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directlyattributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown inequity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared,being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretionof the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period butnot distributed at the end of the reporting period.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and servicesprovided to the Company prior to the end of the financialyear which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured. Tradeand other payables are presented as current liabilities unlesspayment is not due within 12 months after the reportingperiod. They are recognised initially at their fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method.
Cost of raw materials and traded goods comprises cost ofpurchases after deducting rebates and discounts. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials,direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable andfixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on thebasis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories alsoinclude all other costs incurred in bringing the inventoriesto their present location and condition. Net realizable valuerepresents the estimated selling price in the ordinary courseof business, less all estimated costs of completion and costsnecessary to make the sale.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as heldfor sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principallythrough a sale transaction rather than through continuing useand a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured atthe lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs tosell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arisingfrom employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rightsunder insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt fromthis requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequentwrite-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair valueless costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequentincreases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposalgroup), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment losspreviously recognised.
A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the saleof the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised atthe date of de-recognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of adisposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while theyare classified as held for sale. Interest and other expensesattributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified asheld for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assetsof a disposal group classified as held for sale are presentedseparately from the other assets in the balance sheet. Theliabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale arepresented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity thathas been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and thatrepresents a separate major line of business or geographicalarea of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan todispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or isa subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Theresults of discontinued operations are presented separately inthe statement of profit and loss.
The entity shall measure a non-current asset that ceases to beclassified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amountbefore the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted forany depreciation, amortisation or revaluations that wouldhave been recognised had the asset not been classified asheld for sale, and its recoverable amount at the date of thesubsequent decision not to sell.
The Company considers factors including materiality, thenature and function of the items of income and expense in
determining exceptional item and discloses the same in note33 to the standalone financial statements.
a) Dividend income from investments is recognised when theshareholder's right to receive payment has been established.

1) a) During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Parry Sugars
Refinery India Private Limited ("PSRIPL"), approved the closure of operations of PSRIPL's sugar refinery unit with effect from theclose of working hours on March 31, 2026. The subsidiary was engaged in the business of refining raw sugar and exportingrefined sugar. Over a sustained period, the operations were adversely impacted by changes in global market conditions, higheroperating costs, operational disruptions etc. Despite various initiatives undertaken to improve operational performance andfinancial viability, the business continued to incur losses and was assessed to be unviable. Accordingly, after evaluating allstrategic options, the Board of directors of PSRIPL concluded that closure of the operations was in the best long term interest ofthe Company and its stakeholders.
Pursuant to the above decision, the Company has assessed the financial implications arising from the closure of operations ofPSRIPL and has recognised appropriate liabilities and impairment charge in its books, in line with applicable Indian AccountingStandards as under: Impairment loss of H 40,060 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2026 ( H 42,715 Lakhs for the year endedMarch 31,2025).

Pursuant to the decision of theBoard of Directors of the Company and PSRIPL dated March 31,2026, discussions with the lenders and the disclosures made tothe stock exchanges, the Company has reassessed and remeasured its financial guarantee obligations considering that PSRIPLis not expected to have adequate financial resources to settle its borrowings, after taking into account the estimated realisablevalue of its assets. Accordingly, the Company has recognised a provision towards financial guarantee obligations amounting toH 59,132 lakhs for the year-ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - Nil). Subsequent to the year end, the Company has infusedequity of H 61,000 lakhs (being 610,000,000 equity shares of INR 10 each, fully paid up) to PSRIPL for meeting the aforesaidobligations.

4) Based on impairment assessment performed by the management, an impairment loss was recognised during the year ended March31,2026 on property, plant and equipment with respect to three Cash Generating Unit (CGU's) due to insufficient feed stock availabilityin Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradhesh. Recoverable amount of the CGU's has been assessed as higher of fair value less costs of disposalor its value in use. Fair value less costs of disposal was determined to be the recoverable value which was assesed by an independentvaluer using relevant valuation techniques (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) such as sales comparison method for Land, cost approachfor buildings and structures, depreciated replacement cost for plant and machinery. Key assumption used are salvage value, useful lifeand obsolescence value. Following are the details for impairment loss in the table below:

Note 47 - Employee benefit plans
A. Defined contribution plans
The Company makes Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions which are definedcontribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of thepayroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised H 548 lakhs (year ended March 31,2025 - H 594 lakhs) for Provident Fundcontributions, H 299 lakhs (year ended March 31,2025 - H 365 lakhs) for Superannuation Fund contributions and H 1 lakhs (year endedMarch 31,2025 - H 1 lakhs) for Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributionspayable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
B. Defined benefit plans:
Gratuity -
In respect of Gratuity plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligationwere carried out as at March 31,2026 by Universal Actuaries and Benefit Consultants. The present value of the defined benefit obligation,and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method. The following tablesets forth the status of the Gratuity Plan of the Company and the amount recognized in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit andLoss. The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed by the Life Insurance Corporationof India (LIC) and ICICI.
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increasein the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown infinancial statements).
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of planparticipants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used todetermine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company isexposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees in India in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.The new Labour Codes introduced by the Government of India, inter alia, require gratuity to be calculated based on wages constitutingat least 50% of total remuneration. This has resulted in an increase in gratuity benefits in respect of services rendered in prior periods,and accordingly, the Company has recognised past service cost amounting to H 124 Lakhs during the year. In accordance with IndAS 19, the past service cost has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the current year in which the plan amendmentbecame effective.
Note 47 - Employee benefit plans (Contd.)
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, attrition rate and expectedsalary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurringat the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results of sensitivity analysis is given below:
Please note that the sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligationas it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated usingthe projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefitobligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
Positive represents increase and negative represents decrease in obligation.
The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate isdeclared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The Insurance Company, as part of the policy rules, makes paymentof all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates theliquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, theCompany is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in an increasein liability without corresponding increase in the asset).
The Company's best estimate of the contribution expected to be paid to the plan during the next year is H 500 lakhs (March 31,2025- H 364 lakhs).
Average duration of the Defined Benefit Obligation (Gratuity) is 5.27 years (March 31,2025 - 7.24 years).
With respect to employees, who are covered under Provident Fund Trust administered by the Company, the Company shall make gooddeficiency, if any in the interest rate declared by Trust over statutory limit. Having regards to the assets of the fund and the return onthe investments, the Company does not expect any deficiency in the foreseeable future. The Company contributed H 438 lakhs (yearended March 31,2025 - H 446 lakhs) for provident fund contributions to the trust.
Note 49 - Financial instruments
The Company's capital management is intended to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern and maximise the return toshareholders for meeting the long-term and short-term goals of the Company through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual and long-term operating plans and strategicinvestment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity and long-term/short-term borrowings. The Company monitorsthe capital structure on the basis of net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other reserves attributableto the equity shareholders of the Company. Net debt includes all long and short-term borrowings (including current maturities of longterm debt) as reduced by cash and cash equivalents.
49. Financialinstruments (Contd.)
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to market rate changes. The Company is exposed to the followingsignificant market risks:
• Foreign currency risk
• Interest rate risk
• Other price risk
Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis. There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks orthe manner in which these risks are being managed and measured.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on account of exports and imports.
The Company has a forex policy in place whose objective is to reduce foreign exchange risk by deploying the appropriate hedgingstrategies (forward covers and options) and also by maintaining reasonable open exposures within approved parameters dependingon the future outlook on currencies.
Note 49 - Financial instruments (Contd.)
c. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in US Dollar. The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increaseand decrease against the US Dollar on the outstanding balance. 10% is the sensitivity used when reporting foreign currency riskinternally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreignexchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only net outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjuststheir translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase inprofit or equity where the Rupee strengthens by 10% against the US Dollar. For a 10% weakening against the US Dollar, therewould be a comparable impact on the profit or equity.
In management's opinion the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposureat the end of reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Company issues commercial papers, draws working capital demand loans, cash credit etc. for meeting its funding requirements.
Interest rates on these borrowings are exposed to change in respective benchmark rates. The Company manages the interest rate riskby maintaining appropriate mix/portfolio of the borrowings.
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined for borrowings assuming the amount of borrowings outstanding at the endof the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis points increase or decrease in case of rupee borrowings isused when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of thereasonably possible change in interest rates.
Changes in interest rates by 50 basis from March 31,2026, in case of rupee borrowings and all other variables were held constant,will impact the net annual interest expense on floating rate borrowing would by approximately H 59 lakhs (March 31, 2025- H 77 lakhs).
The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Certain of the Company's equity investments are heldfor strategic rather than trading purposes. The Company also holds certain other equity investments for trading purposes.
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower other comprehensive income/equity for the year ended March 31, 2026 wouldincrease/ decrease by H 424 lakhs ( H 382 lakhs for the year ended March 31,2025) as a result of the changes in fair value of equityinvestments measured at FVTOCI. The impact of change in equity price on profit or loss is not significant.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. TheCompany is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, includingdeposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
a. Impairment of financial assets other than Trade Receivables
The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned byinternational credit rating agencies.
The estimated gross carrying amount at default based on 12 month expected credit loss method is Nil (March 31,2025 - Nil) forinvestments, deposits and other financial assets. There is no expected credit loss recognised for the year ended March 31, 2026and March 31, 2025.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and controlrelating to the customer credit risk management. The Company uses financial information and past experience to evaluate creditquality of majority of its customers and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstandingreceivables and the credit worthiness of its counterparties are periodically monitored and taken up on case to case basis. TheCompany evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low as its customers are located in severaljurisdictions representing large number of minor receivables operating in independent markets. There is no material expectedcredit loss based on the past experience. However, the Company assesses the impairment by specific items of trade receivableand has accordingly created loss allowance on trade receivables. Expected Credit Loss has been computed for the Company as awhole as the credit profile of customers from all segments are similar.
c. The Company has issued Standby Letter of Credit/Guarantee to its subsidiaries US Nutraceuticals Inc. and Parry Sugars RefineryIndia Private Limited respectively having an outstanding amount of H 33,338 lakhs (March 31, 2025 - H 69,414 lakhs).

The following table details the Company's maturity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The table has been drawn up basedon the undiscounted estimated cash flows determined by reference to the projected market rates at the end of the reporting period.A positive amount represents an anticipated cash inflow and a negative amount represents an anticipated cash outflow.
The Company has access to financing facilities of which H 32,160 lakhs (as at March 31,2025 - H 76,200 lakhs) were unused at theend of the reporting period. The Company expects to meet its other obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds of maturingfinancial assets.
