m. Provisions, contingent liabilities andcontingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company hasa present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of past event, it is probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of obligation.When the Company expects some or all of aprovision to be reimbursed, for example, underan insurance contract, the reimbursement isrecognised as a separate asset, but only when thereimbursement is certain. The expense relating to aprovision is presented in the statement of profit andloss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are determined by discounting theexpected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability.Where discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognisedas a finance cost.
Restructuring
A provision for restructuring is recognised when theCompany has a detailed formal restructuring planand has raised a valid expectation in those affectedthat it will carry out the restructuring by startingto implement the plan or announcing its mainfeatures to those affected by it. The measurementof a restructuring provision includes only thedirect expenditure arising from the restructuring,which are those amounts that are both necessarilyentailed by the restructuring and not associatedwith the ongoing activities of the entity.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contractsare recognised and measured as provisions. Anonerous contract is considered to exist wherethe Company has a contract under which theunavoidable costs of meeting the obligations underthe contract exceed the economic benefit expectedto be received from the contract.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Contingent liability is disclosed for,
(i) Possible obligations which will be confirmedonly by future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company, or
(ii) Present obligations arising from past eventswhere it is not probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle theobligation or a reliable estimate of the amountof the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in thefinancial statements. A contingent asset is disclosedwhere an inflow of economic benefits is probable.Contingent assets are assessed continuallyand, if it is virtually certain that an inflow ofeconomic benefits will arise, the asset and relatedincome are recognised in the period in which thechange occurs.
n. RevenueSale of goods
Revenue from contracts with customers isrecognised when control of the goods or servicesare transferred to the customer at an amount thatreflects the consideration to which the Companyexpects to be entitled in exchange for those goodsor services. The Company has generally concludedthat it is the principal in its revenue arrangements,since it is the primary obligor in all of its revenuearrangement, as it has pricing latitude and isexposed to inventory and credit risks. Revenueis stated net of goods and service tax and net ofreturns, chargebacks, rebates and other similarallowances. These are calculated on the basis ofhistorical experience and the specific terms in theindividual contracts.
In determining the transaction price, the Companyconsiders the effects of variable consideration,the existence of significant financing components,non-cash consideration, and consideration payableto the customer (if any). The Company estimatesvariable consideration at contract inception until itis highly probable that a significant revenue reversalin the amount of cumulative revenue recognisedwill not occur when the associated uncertainty withthe variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Profit Sharing Revenues
The Company from time to time enters intoarrangements for the sale of its products in certainmarkets. Under such arrangements, the Companysells its products to the business partners at a basepurchase price agreed upon in the arrangementand is also entitled to a profit share which is overand above the base purchase price. The profit share
is typically dependent on the ultimate net saleproceeds or net profits, subject to any reductionsor adjustments that are required by the terms ofthe arrangement.
Revenue in an amount equal to the base purchaseprice is recognised in these transactions upondelivery of products to the business partners. Anadditional amount representing the profit sharecomponent is recognised as revenue only to theextent that it is highly probable that a significantreversal will not occur.
Out-licensing arrangements
Revenues include amounts derived from productout-licensing agreements. These arrangementstypically consist of an initial up-front payment oninception of the license and subsequent paymentsdependent on achieving certain milestones inaccordance with the terms prescribed in theagreement. Non-refundable up-front license feesreceived in connection with product out-licensingagreements are deferred and recognised overthe period in which the Company has continuingperformance obligations. Milestone paymentswhich are contingent on achieving certain clinicalmilestones are recognised as revenues either onachievement of such milestones, if the milestonesare considered substantive, or over the period theCompany has continuing performance obligations,if the milestones are not considered substantive.
Sales returns
The Company accounts for sales returns accrualby recording an allowance for sales returnsconcurrent with the recognition of revenue at thetime of a product sale. This allowance is basedon the Company's estimate of expected salesreturns. With respect to established products,the Company considers its historical experienceof sales returns, levels of inventory in thedistribution channel, estimated shelf life, productdiscontinuances, price changes of competitiveproducts, and the introduction of competitivenew products, to the extent each of these factorsimpact the Company's business and markets.
With respect to new products introduced by theCompany, such products have historically beeneither extensions of an existing line of productwhere the Company has historical experience or intherapeutic categories where established productsexist and are sold either by the Company or theCompany's competitors.
Contract balancesContract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration inexchange for goods or services transferred to thecustomer. If the Company performs by transferringgoods or services to a customer before thecustomer pays consideration or before payment isdue, a contract asset is recognised for the earnedconsideration that is conditional. Contract assetsare subject to impairment assessment.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company's right to anamount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e.,only the passage of time is required before paymentof the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfergoods or services to a customer for which theCompany has received consideration (or an amountof consideration is due) from the customer. If acustomer pays consideration before the Companytransfers goods or services to the customer, acontract liability is recognised when the payment ismade or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue whenthe Company performs under the contract
Rendering of services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised inthe statement of profit and loss as the underlyingservices are performed. Upfront non-refundablepayments received are deferred and recognised asrevenue over the expected period over which therelated services are expected to be performed.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basisin accordance with the substance of the relevantagreement (provided that it is probable thateconomic benefits will flow to the Company andthe amount of revenue can be measured reliably).Royalty arrangements that are based on production,sales and other measures are recognised byreference to the underlying arrangement.
o. Dividend and interest income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company'sright to receive the payment is established, which isgenerally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognisedwhen it is probable that the economic benefits willflow to the Company and the amount of income
can be measured reliably. Interest income is accruedon a time basis, by reference to the principaloutstanding and at the effective interest rateapplicable, which is the rate that exactly discountsestimated future cash receipts through theexpected life of the financial asset to that asset'snet carrying amount on initial recognition.
p. Government grants
The Company recognises government grantsonly when there is reasonable assurance thatthe conditions attached to them will be compliedwith, and the grants will be received. When thegrant relates to an expense item, it is recognisedas income on a systematic basis over the periodsthat the related costs, for which it is intended tocompensate, are expensed. When the grant relatesto an asset, the Company deducts such grantamount from the carrying amount of the asset.
q. Employee benefitsDefined benefit plans
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuityplan which requires contribution to be made to aseparately administered fund.
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans iscalculated using the projected unit credit methodwith actuarial valuations being carried out atthe end of each annual reporting period. Thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation isdetermined by discounting the estimated futurecash outflows by reference to market yields atthe end of the reporting period on governmentbonds. The currency and term of the governmentbonds shall be consistent with the currency andestimated term of the post-employment benefitobligations. The current service cost of the definedbenefit plan, recognised in the statement of profitand loss as employee benefits expense, reflects theincrease in the defined benefit obligation resultingfrom employee service in the current year, benefitchanges, curtailments and settlements. Past servicecosts are recognised in the statement of profit andloss in the period of a plan amendment. The netinterest cost is calculated by applying the discountrate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. Thiscost is included in employee benefit expense in thestatement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains andlosses arising from experience adjustments andchanges in actuarial assumptions are charged or
credited to OCI in the period in which they ariseand is reflected immediately in retained earningsand is not reclassified to profit or loss.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised as an expensein the statement of profit and loss when theCompany is demonstrably committed, withoutrealistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formaldetailed plan to either terminate employmentbefore the normal retirement date, or to providetermination benefits as a result of an offer madeto encourage voluntary redundancy. Terminationbenefits for voluntary redundancies are recognisedas an expense in the statement of profit and lossif the Company has made an offer encouragingvoluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offerwill be accepted, and the number of acceptancescan be estimated reliably.
Short-term and Other long-termemployee benefits
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilisedwithin the next 12 months, is treated as short-termemployee benefit. The Company measures theexpected cost of such absences as the additionalamount that it expects to pay as a result of theunused entitlement that has accumulated at thereporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected tobe carried forward beyond twelve months, as long¬term employee benefit for measurement purposes.Such long-term compensated absences areprovided for based on the actuarial valuation usingthe projected unit credit method at the year-end.Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to thestatement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
The Company's net obligation in respect of otherlong term employee benefits is the amount offuture benefit that employees have earned inreturn for their service in the current and previousperiods. That benefit is discounted to determine itspresent value.
Defined contribution plans
The Company's contributions to definedcontribution plans are recognised as an expenseas and when the services are received from theemployees entitling them to the contributions. TheCompany does not have any obligation other thanthe contribution made.
r. Income tax
Income tax expense consists of current anddeferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised inprofit or loss except to the extent that it relatesto items recognised in OCI or directly in equity,in which case it is recognised in OCI or directly inequity respectively. Current tax is the expectedtax payable on the taxable profit for the year, usingtax rates enacted or substantively enacted by theend of the reporting period, and any adjustmentto tax payable in respect of previous years.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offsetwhere the Company has a legally enforceableright to offset and intends either to settle on anet basis, or to realise the asset and settle theliability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporarydifferences between the carrying amounts of assetsand liabilities in the financial statements and thecorresponding tax bases used in the computationof taxable profit. Deferred tax is not recognised forthe temporary differences that arise on the initialrecognition of assets or liabilities in a transactionthat is not a business combination and that affectsneither accounting nor taxable profits and taxabletemporary differences arising upon the initialrecognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates thatare expected to be applied to the temporarydifferences when they reverse, based on the lawsthat have been enacted or substantively enactedby the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxassets and liabilities are offset if there is a legallyenforceable right to set off corresponding currenttax assets against current tax liabilities and thedeferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relateto income taxes levied by the same tax authority onthe Company.
The Company recognises a deferred tax assetarising from unused tax losses or tax credits onlyto the extent that the entity has sufficient taxabletemporary differences or there is convincing otherevidence that sufficient taxable profit will beavailable against which the unused tax losses orunused tax credits can be utilised by the entity.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which the temporary differencecan be utilised except:
• When the deferred tax asset relating to thedeductible temporary difference arises fromthe initial recognition of an asset or liability in atransaction that is not a business combinationand, at the time of the transaction, affectsneither the accounting profit nor taxable profitor loss and does not give rise to equal taxableand deductible temporary differences.
• In respect of deductible temporary differencesassociated with investments in subsidiaries,associates and interests in joint ventures,deferred tax assets are recognised only to theextent that it is probable that the temporarydifferences will reverse in the foreseeablefuture and taxable profit will be availableagainst which the temporary differences canbe utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reportingdate and are reduced to the extent that it is nolonger probable that the related tax benefit will berealised. Withholding tax arising out of payment ofdividends to shareholders under the Indian Incometax regulations is not considered as tax expense forthe Company and all such taxes are recognised inthe statement of changes in equity as part of theassociated dividend payment.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxabletemporary differences, except:
• When the deferred tax liability arises from theinitial recognition of goodwill or an asset orliability in a transaction that is not a businesscombination and, at the time of the transaction,affects neither the accounting profit nor taxableprofit or loss and does not give rise to equaltaxable and deductible temporary differences
• In respect of taxable temporary differencesassociated with investments in subsidiaries,associates and interests in joint ventures, whenthe timing of the reversal of the temporarydifferences can be controlled and it is probablethat the temporary differences will not reversein the foreseeable future
Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') credit is recognisedas deferred tax asset only when and to the extentthere is convincing evidence that the Companywill pay normal income tax during the period forwhich the MAT credit can be carried forward forset-off against the normal tax liability. MAT creditrecognised as an asset is reviewed at each BalanceSheet date and written down to the extent theaforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions requiremanagement to make judgements of potentialexposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions aremeasured using either the most likely amount orthe expected value amount depending on whichmethod the entity expects to better predict theresolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are notrecognised unless the management based upon itsinterpretation of applicable laws and regulationsand the expectation of how the tax authority willresolve the matter concludes that such benefits willbe accepted by the authorities. Once consideredprobable of not being accepted, managementreviews each material tax benefit and reflects theeffect of the uncertainty in determining the relatedtaxable amounts.
s. Exceptional items
Exceptional items refer to items of income orexpense, including tax items, within the statementof profit and loss from ordinary activities whichare non-recurring and are of such size, natureor incidence that their separate disclosure isconsidered necessary to explain the performance ofthe Company.
t. Recent Accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies newstandards or amendments to the existing standardsunder Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Rules as issued from time to time. MCA has issuedfollowing amendments:
Amendment to Ind AS 1 'Presentation of FinancialStatements'- Classification of Liabilities as currentor non-current and non-current liabilities withcovenants. The amendment includes specificprovisions that will take effect for reportingperiods beginning on or after April 01, 2026,retrospectively, as outlined below:
a) Breach of material covenant for long-term loanarrangement on or before end of reportingperiod with effect that liability becomespayable on demand as on reporting date, thenit shall be classified as current liability, if lenderagreed after reporting period and beforeapproval of standalone financial statements
to not demand payment as a consequenceof breach.
b) Classify as non-current liability, if lenderagreed by end of reporting period to providegrace period ending at least 12 months afterreporting period within which entity canrectify the breach provided lender does notdemand immediate repayment.
c) Disclose information about the timing ofsettlement to understand the impact of theliability on the standalone financial statements.
The Company does not expect this amendmentto have an impact on its operations or standalonefinancial statements.
(i) Buildings include ? 8,620 (As at March 31, 2025: ? 8,620) towards cost of shares in a co-operative housing society and also includes ? 1.1Million (As at March 31, 2025: ? 1.1 Million) and ? 1,133.0 Million (As at March 31, 2025: ? 1,133.0 Million) towards cost of non-convertiblepreference shares of face value of ? 10/- each and compulsorily convertible debentures of face value of ? 10,000/- each in a Companyrespectively entitling the right of occupancy and use of premises and also includes ? 4.5 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 4.5 Million) towards costof flats not registered in the name of the Company but is entitled to right of use and occupancy.
(ii) The aggregate depreciation has been included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) The above table includes certain premises and plant and machinery given under operating lease or leave and license agreements having grosscarrying value of ? 22.7 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 205.7 Million) and accumulated depreciation of ? 11.7 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 37.4Million). The depreciation charge for the year in relation to them is ? 0.3 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 3.3 Million).
(i) The aggregate amortisation has been included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Refer Note 54 (1)
(iii) The recoverable amount of Goodwill has been determined based on value in use calculations which uses cash flow projections coveringgenerally a period of five years which are based on key assumptions such as margins, expected growth rates based on past experience andManagement's expectations/ extrapolation of normal increase/ steady terminal growth rate and appropriate discount rates that reflects currentmarket assessments of time value of money. The average growth rate used in extrapolating cash flows beyond the planning period was 5.0% forthe years ended March 31, 2026 and 5.0% March 31, 2025. Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a CGUor group of CGUs. The discount rate is estimated on the weighted average cost of capital for respective CGU or group of CGUs. Discount rateused was 9.2% for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 8.9% March 31, 2025. The management believes that any reasonable possible change
in key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based is not expected to cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregaterecoverable amount of the cash generating unit.

Nature and purpose of each reserve
Capital reserve - During amalgamation / merger / acquisition, the excess of net assets taken, over the consideration paid, if any,is treated as capital reserve.
Securities premium - The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in securities premium. Incase of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant date and nominal value ofshare is accounted as securities premium. It is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Amalgamation reserve - The reserve was created pursuant to scheme of amalgamation in earlier years.
Capital redemption reserve - The Company has recognised capital redemption reserve on buyback of equity shares from itsretained earnings. The amount in capital redemption reserve is equal to nominal amount of the equity shares bought back.
General reserve: The reserve arises on transfer portion of the net profit pursuant to the earlier provisions of Companies Act,1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Retained earnings: The reserve is the profit/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, Add/less any transfers to/from general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss /(gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity instrument through OCI - The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investment inequity instrument in other comprehensive income. This amount will be reclassified to retained earnings on derecognition ofequity instrument.
Foreign currency translation reserve - Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and the net assets of theCompany's foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Company's presentation currency (i.e ^) are recogniseddirectly in the other comprehensive income and accumulated in foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange Differencein the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to statement of profit or loss account on the disposal of theforeign operation.
Effective portion of cash flow hedges - The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gainsor losses arising on changes in fair value of designated portion of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges. Thecumulative gain or loss recognised and accumulated under the cash flow hedge reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss onlywhen the hedged transaction affects the profit or loss, or included as a basis adjustment to the non-financial hedged item.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at themeasurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fairvalue. The cost of unquoted investments approximates the fair value because there is wide range of possible fair valuemeasurements and the costs represents estimate of fair value within that range.
#These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Company haschosen to designate these investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the periods.
The management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised costapproximates their fair value.
NOTE: 42 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's capital management objectives are:
• to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and
• to provide an adequate return to shareholders through optimisation of debts and equity balance.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of debt as presented on the face of the financial statements.The Company's objective for capital management is to maintain an optimum overall financial structure. The Companymanages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of thefinancial covenants.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all otherequity reserves attributable to the equity share holder's.
NOTE: 43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. TheCompany's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks facedby the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Riskassessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and theCompany's activities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meetits contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers, loans and investments.Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthinessof counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that havea good credit rating. The Company does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, anddoes not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
The Company has used Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Companyuses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external andinternal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
Other than trade receivables, the Company has recognised an allowance of ^ 15.3 Million (March 31, 2025: ^ 15.3 Million)against past due loans/advance including interest and ^ 1,540.0 Million (March 31, 2025: ^ 1,540.0 Million) of other receivablesbased on assessment regarding its future recoverability.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Companymanages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities whendue, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks of ^ 38,085.0 Million as on March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025:
^ 30,193.3 Million).
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in marketrates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all marketrisk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. TheCompany is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value ofits investments. Thus, the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenuegenerating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company's foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarilyin US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupeeappreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company's revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees maydecrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changedsubstantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the Company uses bothderivative and non-derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts, currencyswap contracts and foreign currency financial liabilities, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates inrespect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between theIndian rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets/liabilities would (decrease) / increasethe Company's profit and (decrease) / increase the Company's equity by approximately ^ (5,738.2) Million and ^ (6,202.2)Million respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal butopposite effect.
In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is not representative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because theexposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
c) Derivative contracts
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk that arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses, primarilyin US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble. The Company uses foreign currencyforward contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap contracts (collectively, “derivatives”) to mitigateits risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or afinancial institution.
Hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions
The Company designates its derivative contracts that hedge foreign exchange risk associated with its highly probableforecasted transactions as cash flow hedges and measures them at fair value. The effective portion of such cash flowhedges is recorded in other comprehensive income, and re-classified in the income statement as revenue in the periodcorresponding to the occurrence of the forecasted transactions. The ineffective portion of such cash flow hedges isimmediately recorded in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of the aforesaid hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions, the Company has recorded a net loss of^ 2,862.8 Million for the year ended March 31, 2026 and net loss of ^ 180.1 Million for the year ended March 31, 2025in other comprehensive income. The Company also recorded hedges as a component of revenue, loss of ^ 1,478.2 Millionfor the year ended March 31, 2026 and loss of ^ 108.3 Million for the year ended March 31, 2025 on occurrence offorecasted sale transaction.
Changes in the fair value of forward contracts and option contracts that economically hedge monetary assets andliabilities in foreign currencies, and for which no hedge accounting is applied, are recognised in the statement of profit andloss. The changes in fair value of the forward contracts and option contracts, as well as the foreign exchange gains andlosses relating to the monetary items, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Commodity rate risk
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Company's purchases and sales ofactive pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients.These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of theCompany's raw materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used inthe Company's active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms thelargest portion of the Company's cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed throughoperating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not entered into any materialderivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Defined contribution plan
Contributions are made to Regional Provident Fund (RPF), Family Pension Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC)and other Funds which covers all regular employees. While both the employees and the Company make predeterminedcontributions to the Provident Fund and ESIC, contribution to the Family Pension Fund and other Statutory Funds aremade only by the Company. The contributions are normally based on a certain percentage of the employee's salary.Amount recognised as expense in respect of these defined contribution plans, aggregate to ^ 1251.2 Million(March 31, 2025: ^ 1,149.4 Million).
Defined benefit plan
a) Gratuity
In accordance with Indian Law, the Company operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuityplan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination ofemployment in accordance with the provisions under the Code on Social Security, 2020 or as per the Company Scheme,as applicable. Vesting occurs upon completion of contractual period of continuous years of service as defined in theCode on Social Security, 2020. The Company manage the plan by contributing to LIC's Recognised Group Gratuity FundScheme. Provision for gratuity is based on actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary as at the year end. Eachyear, the Company review the level of funding in gratuity fund. The company decide its contribution based on the resultsof its annual review. The company aim to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that the fund assetsmeets the requirements of gratuity payments in short to medium term.
b) Pension fund
The Company has an obligation towards pension, a defined benefit retirement plan, with respect to certain employees,who had already retired before March 01, 2013 and will continue to receive the pension as per the pension plan.
c) Covid-19 Employee children education support
The Company have undertaken an obligation to provide financial support towards education expenses of the children ofthose employees who have lost their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Risks
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk andsalary risk.
i) Investment risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined byreference to the market yields on government bonds denominated in Indian Rupees. If the actual return on plan asset isbelow this rate, it will create a plan deficit. However, the risk is partially mitigated by investment in LIC managed fund.
ii) Interest rate risk - A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offsetby an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
iii) Longevity risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate ofthe mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the planparticipants will increase the plan's liability.
iv) Salary risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of planparticipants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Other long term benefit plan
Actuarial Valuation for compensated absences is done as at the year end and the provision is made as per Company policywith corresponding charge to the statement of profit and loss including impact on account of new labour code amounting to^ 1,066.8 Million [March 31, 2025: ^ 550.9 Million] and it covers all regular employees.
