33.2 Fair Value Hierarchy
(a) This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financialinstruments. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, theCompany has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accountingstandard.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value and have beengrouped into Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3 as below:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listedequity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equityinstruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reportingperiod.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined usingvaluation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrumentis included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument isincluded in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.
There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.
(b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
-the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at thebalance sheet date
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flowanalysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 or level 3, where the fair values havebeen determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted forcounterparty or own credit risk.
c) Fair value estimation
Estimated fair value disclosures of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirementsof Ind AS 107 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure”. Fair value is defined as the amount at which theinstrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in anarm’s length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. As no readily available market existsfor a large part of the Company’s financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value,based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimatespresented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a marketexchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.
The following summarizes the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values offinancial instruments.
Interest-bearing
borrowings
Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. Thecarrying amount of the Company’s loans due after one year is also considered as reasonable estimateof their fair values as the nominal interest rates on the loans due after one year are variable andconsidered to be a reasonable approximation of the fair market rate with reference to loans with similarcredit risk level and maturity period at the reporting date.
Trade and other receivables / payables
Receivables / payables typically have a remaining life of less than one year and receivables are adjustedfor impairment losses. Therefore, the carrying amounts for these assets and liabilities are deemed toapproximate their fair values, as the allowance for estimated irrecoverable amounts is considered areasonable estimate of the discount required to reflect the impact of credit risk.
Other long term receivables
These receivables are regularly reviewed and adjusted for impairment losses. Therefore, managementconsiders the carrying amount of these receivables to approximate fair value.
d) Valuation process
The accounts & finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations offinancial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values.
This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the audit committee (AC).
Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC and the valuation teamat least once every three months, in line with the Company’s quarterly reporting periods.
The main level 3 inputs for unlisted equity securities, contingent considerations and indemnificationasset used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:
• Discount rates are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
• Risk adjustments specific to the counterparties (including assumptions about credit default rates) arederived from credit risk grading determined by the Company’s internal credit risk management group.
• Earnings growth factor for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information for similartypes of companies.
Changes in level 2 and 3 fair values are analyzed at the end of each reporting period during the quarterlyvaluation discussion between the CFO, AC and the valuation team. As part of this discussion the teampresents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movements.
a) Risk management framework
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to a different extent to a variety of financialrisks: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price risk and credit risk. In order tominimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financialinstruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts areentered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedgingpurposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages therisk.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financialinstrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’sreceivables from customers and investments in financial instruments.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Companymonitor credit risk very closely both in domestic and export market. The Management impact analysisshows credit risk and impact assessment as low.
Trade and other receivables
Credit risk is the risk that a customer may default or not meet its obligations to the company on atimely basis, leading to financial losses by the Company. The management has an advance collection/credit policy criteria in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Creditevaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Before accepting anew customer, the Company uses an internal credit system to assess the potential customer’s creditquality and defines credit limits separately for each individual customer. The gross carrying amountof trade receivables as at 31st March 2025 aggregates Rs.8595.54 lacs (Previous year ended 31st March2024 Rs 4524.37 Lacs). The Company reviews for any required allowance for impairment thatrepresents its expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables.
Investments are reviewed for any fair valuation loss on periodically basis and necessary provision/fairvaluation adjustments has been made based on the valuation carried by the management to the extentavailable sources, the management does not expect any investment counterparty to fail to meet itsobligations.
a) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligationsassociated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will havesufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are fallen due. The Company’s liquidity position iscarefully monitored and managed. The Company has in place a detailed budgeting and cashforecasting process to help ensure that it has adequate cash available to meet its payment obligations.
Further, the Company continues to maintain enough liquidity buffer to meet additional demands thatmay emerge on account of COVID-19 crisis.
The following table provides details of the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s financialLiabilities. It has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date on whichthe Company can be required to pay. The table includes only principal cash flows.
a) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flowsthat may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financialinstrument may change as result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates,equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movementscannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
b) Currency Risk
The Company's functional currency in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactionsdenominated in the foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise.Volatility in exchange rates affects the Company’s revenue from export markets and the costs ofimports, primarily in relation to raw material. The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk underits trade and debt portfolio.
a) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest raterisk because funds are borrowed at both fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate risk ismeasured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rate. The borrowingsof the Company are principally denominated in INR.
The Company manages its capital to ensure to continue as a going concern while maximizing the returnto the equity holders through optimization of the debt to equity balance. In order to achieve this,requirement of capital is reviewed periodically with reference to operating and business plans that takeinto account capital expenditure and strategic investments. Apart from internal accrual , sourcing ofcapitalised one through judicious combination of equity and borrowing , both short term and long term.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the optimum gearingratio of Net debt (comprising total liabilities) in proportion to Total Equity.

(b) Risk ExposureInvestment Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculatedusing a discount risk which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reportingperiod on government bonds. Currently, for the plan in India, it has relatively balanced mix ofinvestments in Insurance related products.
Interest Rate Risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partiallyoffset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt.
Longevity Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimateof the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the lifeexpectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of planparticipants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan'sliability.
