5.11 Provisions and contingent liabilities
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 settlethe obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of theconsideration required to settle the present obligation at theend of the reporting period, taking into account the risksand uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisionsare determined by discounting the expected future cash flowsto net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount ratethat reflects current market assessments of the time value ofmoney and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it iseither not probable that an outflow of resources will be requiredto settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made,is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities arealso disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising frompast events, the existence of which will be confirmed only bythe occurrence or non- occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the Company.
Claims against the Company, where the possibility ofany outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are notdisclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financialstatements since this may result in the recognition of incomethat may not be realised. However, when the realisation ofincome is virtually certain, then the related asset is not acontingent asset and is recognised.
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised asan expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss when theproduct is sold or service provided to the customer. Initialrecognition is based on historical experience. The initialestimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually. Seenote no. 24 of the standalone financial statement
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts arerecognised and measured as provisions. An onerouscontract is considered to exist where the group has acontract under which the unavoidable costs of meetingthe obligations under the contract exceed the economicbenefits expected to be received under it.
5.12 Employee benefits
Employee benefits include salaries, wages, contribution toprovident fund, gratuity, leave encashment towards un-availedleave, compensated absences and other terminal benefits.
Employee benefits such as wages, salaries, bonus, ex-gratia,short-term compensated absences, performance linkedrewards, including non-monetary benefits that are expectedto be settled within 12 months are classified as short-termemployee benefits and are recognised in the period in whichthe employee renders services and are measured at theamounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Contribution payable to the recognised provident fund,employee state insurance, employee pension scheme andother employee social security scheme etc., which aresubstantially defined contribution plans, is recognised asexpense based on the undiscounted amount of obligationsof the Company to contribute to the plan.
Defined benefit plans comprising of gratuity and otherterminal benefits, are recognized based on the presentvalue of defined benefit obligations which is computedusing the projected unit credit method, with actuarialvaluations being carried out at the end of each annualreporting period. These are accounted either as currentemployee cost or included in cost of assets as permitted.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discountrate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation.
This cost is included in employee benefit expense in thestatement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions arerecognised in the period in which they occur, directly inother comprehensive income.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefitobligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailmentsare recognised immediately in profit or loss aspast service cost.
Other long-term employee benefit comprises of leaveencashment towards unavailed leave and compensatedabsences, which is computed using the projected unitcredit method, with actuarial valuations being carried outat the end of each annual reporting period. These areaccounted either as current employee cost or included incost of assets as permitted.
Termination benefits are payable when employment isterminated by the Company before the normal retirementdate, or when an employee accepts voluntary retirementscheme in exchange for these benefits. Expenditure onVoluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) is charged to theStatement of Profit and Loss when incurred.
5.13 Share-based payments
The Company issues equity-settled share-based paymentsto certain employees. Equity-settled share-based paymentsare measured at fair value as at the date of grant. The fairvalue determined at the grant date of the equity-settledshare-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basisover the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimateof the shares that will eventually vest with correspondingincrease in equity. Fair value of the options on the grantdate is calculated considering the following:
- Including the impact of market-based performanceconditions (e.g. equity share price of an entity) andnon-vesting conditions (e.g. holding the shares for thespecific period of time)
- Excluding the impact of service and non-marketperformance conditions (e.g. achieving revenue orprofitability target)
At the end of each period, the entity revises itsestimates of the number of options that are expectedto vest based on the non-market vesting and serviceconditions. It recognises the impact of the revisionto original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with acorresponding adjustment to equity. However, fairvalue of options is not remeasured subsequently.
5.14 Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, wherebythe net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals ofpast or future operating cash receipts or payments and itemof income or expenses associated with investing or financingcash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing andfinancing activities of the Company are segregated.
5.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the netprofit after tax by weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period. The weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year isadjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus elementin a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split andreverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing theprofit after tax after considering the effect of interest andother financing costs or income (net of attributable taxes)associated with dilutive potential equity shares by theweighted average number of equity shares considered forderiving basic earnings per share and also the weightedaverage number of equity shares that could have beenissued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity sharesincluding the treasury shares held by the Company tosatisfy the exercise of the share options by the employees.
5.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprisecash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with anoriginal maturity of three months or less and deposits whichare subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
5.17 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such asinvestments (other than equity investments in Subsidiaries,Joint Ventures and Associates) and derivatives at fair valuesat each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell anasset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactionbetween market participants at the measurement date.The fair value measurement is based on the presumptionthat the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liabilitytakes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the mostadvantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must beaccessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured usingthe assumptions that market participants would usewhen pricing the asset or liability, assuming that marketparticipants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes intoaccount a market participant’s ability to generate economicbenefits by using the asset in its highest and best use, orby selling it to another market participant that would use theasset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate inthe circumstances and for which sufficient data are available tomeasure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observableinputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities (for which fair value is measuredor disclosed in the financial statements) are categorisedwithin the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, basedon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in activemarkets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurement isdirectly or indirectly observable other than quoted pricesincluded in Level 1.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurementis unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in thefinancial statements on a recurring basis, the Companydetermines whether transfers have occurred betweenlevels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of eachreporting period.
Management determines the policies and procedures forboth recurring fair value measurement, such as derivativeinstruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fairvalue, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assetsheld for disposal in discontinued operations.
5.18 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to afinancial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equityinstrument of another entity.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, assubsequently measured at amortized cost, fair valuethrough other comprehensive income (OCI), and fairvalue through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognitiondepends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flowcharacteristics and the Company’s business model formanaging them. With the exception of trade receivablesthat do not contain a significant financing component or forwhich the Company has applied the practical expedient,the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fairvalue plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair valuethrough profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivablesthat do not contain a significant financing component or forwhich the Company has applied the practical expedientare measured at the transaction price.
In order for a financial asset to be classified andmeasured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, itneeds to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely paymentsof principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amountoutstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPItest and is performed at an instrument level. Financialassets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classifiedand measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company’s business model for managing financialassets refers to how it manages its financial assetsin order to generate cash flows. The business modeldetermines whether cash flows will result from collectingcontractual cash flows, selling the financial assets,or both. Financial assets classified and measured atamortised cost are held within a business model withthe objective to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows while financial assets classifiedand measured at fair value through OCI are held withina business model with the objective of both holding tocollect contractual cash flows and selling.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financialassets are classified in four categories:
• Financial assets at amortised cost(debt instruments)
• Financial assets at fair value through OCIwith recycling of cumulative gains and losses(debt instruments)
• Financial assets designated at fair value throughOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains andlosses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequentlymeasured using the effective interest (EIR) methodand are subject to impairment. Gains and lossesare recognised in profit or loss when the asset isderecognised, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial assets at amortised costinclude trade receivables, loan to subsidiary, jointventures, and associates, and loans to employees.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss arecarried in the statement of financial position at fairvalue with net changes in fair value recognised in thestatement of profit or loss.
This category includes derivative instruments andlisted equity investments which the Company had notirrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI.Dividends on listed equity investments are recognisedas other income in the statement of profit or loss whenthe right of payment has been established.
A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with afinancial liability or non-financial host, is separated fromthe host and accounted for as a separate derivative if:the economic characteristics and risks are not closelyrelated to the host; a separate instrument with thesame terms as the embedded derivative would meetthe definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contractis not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Embedded derivatives are measured at fair valuewith changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.Reassessment only occurs if there is either a changein the terms of the contract that significantly modifiesthe cash flows that would otherwise be required or areclassification of a financial asset out of the fair valuethrough profit or loss category.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of afinancial asset or part of a group of similar financialassets) is primarily derecognised i.e. removed fromthe Company’s statement of financial position) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the assethave expired; or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from the asset or has assumed anobligation to pay the received cash flows in fullwithout material delay to a third party under a‘pass-through’ arrangement and either:
a. the Company has transferred substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, or
b. the Company has neither transferred nor retainedsubstantially all the risks and rewards of theasset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent,it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Whenit has neither transferred nor retained substantially allof the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferredcontrol of the asset, the Company continues to recognisethe transferred asset to the extent of its continuinginvolvement. In that case, the Company also recognisesan associated liability. The transferred asset and theassociated liability are measured on a basis that reflectsthe rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured atthe lower of the original carrying amount of the assetand the maximum amount of consideration that theCompany could be required to repay.
The Company recognises an allowance for expectedcredit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not heldat fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based onthe difference between the contractual cash flows due
in accordance with the contract and all the cash flowsthat the Company expects to receive, discounted atan approximation of the original effective interest rate.The expected cash flows will include cash flows fromthe sale of collateral held or other credit enhancementsthat are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For creditexposures for which there has not been a significantincrease in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLsare provided for credit losses that result from defaultevents that are possible within the next 12-months (a12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for whichthere has been a significant increase in credit risk sinceinitial recognition, a loss allowance is required for creditlosses expected over the remaining life of the exposure,irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, theCompany applies a simplified approach in calculatingECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changesin credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowancebased on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, theCompany applies the low credit risk simplification. Atevery reporting date, the Company evaluates whetherthe debt instrument is considered to have low credit riskusing all reasonable and supportable information thatis available without undue cost or effort. In making thatevaluation, the Company reassesses the risk of the debtinstruments. In addition, the Company considers thatthere has been a significant increase in credit risk whencontractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset in defaultwhen contractual payments are 90 days past due.However, in certain cases, the Company may alsoconsider a financial asset to be in default when internalor external information indicates that the Companyis unlikely to receive the outstanding contractualamounts in full before taking into account any creditenhancements held by the Company. A financial assetis written off when there is no reasonable expectationof recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition,as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated ashedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fairvalue and, in the case of loans and borrowings andpayables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade andother payables, loans and borrowings including bankoverdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financialliabilities are classified in two categories:
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
• Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loansand borrowings)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossinclude financial liabilities held for trading and financialliabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fairvalue through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if theyare incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the nearterm. This category also includes derivative financialinstruments entered into by the Company that are notdesignated as hedging instruments in hedge relationshipsas defined by accounting standards. Separatedembedded derivatives are also classified as held fortrading unless they are designated as effective hedging.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading arerecognised in the statement of profit or loss
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognitionat fair value through profit or loss are designated atthe initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria inaccounting standards are satisfied.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings andinstruments are subsequently measured at amortised costusing the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognisedin profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised aswell as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account anydiscount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs thatare an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation isincluded as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearingborrowings and instruments.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligationunder the liability is discharged or cancelled orexpires. When an existing financial liability is replacedby another from the same lender on substantiallydifferent terms, or the terms of an existing liabilityare substantially modified, such an exchange ormodification is treated as the derecognition of theoriginal liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference in the respective carrying amounts isrecognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the standalone financialstatement of financial position if there is a currentlyenforceable legal right to offset the recognised amountsand there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realisethe assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, suchas forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps, tohedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks,respectively. Such derivative financial instruments areinitially recognised at fair value on the date on which aderivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried asfinancial assets when the fair value is positive and asfinancial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedgesare classified as:
• Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure tochanges in the fair value of a recognised assetor liability or an unrecognised firm commitment
• Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure tovariability in cash flows that is either attributableto a particular risk associated with a recognisedasset or liability or a highly probable forecasttransaction or the foreign currency risk in anunrecognised firm commitment
• Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation
At the inception of a hedge relationship, theCompany formally designates and documents thehedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedgeaccounting and the risk management objective andstrategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedginginstrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk beinghedged and how the Company will assess whether thehedging relationship meets the hedge effectivenessrequirements (including the analysis of sources of hedgeineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined).
A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting ifit meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
• There is ‘an economic relationship’ between thehedged item and the hedging instrument.
• The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominatethe value changes’ that result from thateconomic relationship.
• The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship isthe same as that resulting from the quantity of thehedged item that the Company actually hedgesand the quantity of the hedging instrument thatthe Company actually uses to hedge that quantityof hedged item.
Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedgeaccounting are accounted for, as described below:
The change in the fair value of a hedging instrumentis recognised in the statement of profit or loss as otherexpense. The change in the fair value of the hedged itemattributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of thecarrying value of the hedged item and is also recognisedin the statement of profit or loss as other expense.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortisedcost, any adjustment to carrying value is amortisedthrough profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedgeusing the EIR method. The EIR amortisation may begin assoon as an adjustment exists and no later than when thehedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fairvalue attributable to the risk being hedged.
If the hedged item is derecognised, the unamortisedfair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When an unrecognised firm commitment is designatedas a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative changein the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to thehedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with acorresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
a. Dividend income from investments is recognisedwhen the shareholder’s right to receive payment hasbeen established (provided that it is probable thatthe economic benefits will flow to the Company andthe amount of income can be measured reliably).
b. Interest income from a financial asset is recognisedwhen it is probable that the economic benefits willflow to the Company and the amount of incomecan be measured reliably. Interest income isaccrued on a time basis, by reference to theprincipal outstanding and at the effective interestrate applicable, which is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash receipts throughthe expected life of the financial asset to thatasset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
6.1 Recent accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification dated9 September 2024 and 28 September 2024 notifiedthe Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) SecondAmendment Rules, 2024 and Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Third Amendment Rules, 2024,respectively, which amended/ notified certain accountingstandards (see below), and are effective tor annual repotingperiods beginning on or after April 01,2024:
- Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and
- Lease Liability in Sale and Leaseback —Amendments to Ind AS 116
These amendments did not have any material impact on theamounts recognised in prior periods and are not expectedto significantly affect the current or future periods.
6.2 Significant Judgements and Key sources ofEstimation in applying Accounting Policies
Information about significant judgments and key sources ofestimation made in applying accounting policies that havethe most significant effects on the amounts recognized inthe financial statements is included in the following notes:
a. Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets: The extent towhich deferred tax assets can be recognized is basedon an assessment of the probability of the Company’sfuture taxable income against which the deferredtax assets can be utilized. In addition, significant
judgment is required in assessing the impact of anylegal or economic limits.
b. Useful lives of depreciable/amortizable assets(tangible and intangible): Management reviews itsestimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortizableassets at each reporting date, based on the expectedutility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimatesrelate to actual normal wear and tear that may changethe utility of plant and equipment.
c. Classification of Leases: The Company entersinto leasing arrangements for various assets. Theclassification of the leasing arrangement as a financelease or operating lease is based on an assessmentof several factors, including, but not limited to, transferof ownership of leased asset at end of lease term,lessee’s option to purchase and estimated certainty ofexercise of such option, proportion of lease term to theasset’s economic life, proportion of present value ofminimum lease payments to fair value of leased assetand extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.
d. Employee benefit: Employee benefit obligations aremeasured on the basis of actuarial assumptionswhich include mortality and withdrawal rates as well asassumptions concerning future developments in discountrates, medical cost trends, anticipation of future salaryincreases, and the inflation rate. The Company considersthat the assumptions used to measure its obligations areappropriate. However, any changes in these assumptionsmay have a material impact on the resulting calculations.
e. Provisions and Contingencies: The assessments undertakenin recognizing provisions and contingencies have been
made in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS) 37, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and ContingentAssets’. The evaluation of the likelihood of the contingentevents is applied best judgment by management regardingthe probability of exposure to potential loss.
f. Impairment of financial assets: The Company reviews itscarrying value of investments carried at amortized costannually, or more frequently when there is an indicationof impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than itscarrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
g. Fair value measurement of Financial Instruments:When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets,their fair value is measured using valuation techniquesincluding the Discounted Cash Flow model. The inputto these models is taken from observable marketswhere possible, but where this is not feasible, adegree of judgment is required in establishing fairvalues. Judgments include considerations of inputssuch as liquidity risk, credit risk, and volatility.
h. Warranty : Warranty Provision is measured atdiscounted present value using a pre-tax discount ratethat reflects the current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability.Product warranty liability and warranty expenses arerecorded at the time the product is sold, if the claimsof the customers under warranty are probable, and theamount can be reasonably estimated.
The Board of Directors have recommended a final dividend of 400% (INR 8.00/- per Equity Share of H 2/- each) for the financialyear 2024-2025 subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuationtechnique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes in to account the characteristics of the asset orliability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurementdate. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these standalone financial statements is determined on such abasis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are withinthe scope of Ind AS 116, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisablevalue in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree towhich the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurementsin its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level I: includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds,ETFs and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in thestock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level II: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as littleas possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrumentis included in level 2.
Level III: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Thisis the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset are included in level 3.
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other currentliabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in acurrent transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptionswere used to estimate the fair values:
i. Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters suchas interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristicsof the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected credit losses ofthese receivables.
ii. The fair values of the quoted notes and bonds are based on price quotations at the reporting date. The fair value of unquotedinstruments, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, obligations under finance leases, as well as other non-currentfinancial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms,credit risk and remaining maturities. In addition to being sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the forecast cash flowsor the discount rate, the fair value of the equity instruments is also sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the growthrates. The valuation requires management to use Unobservable inputs in the model, of which the significant unobservableinputs are disclosed in the tables below. Management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives forthose significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value.
iii. The fair values of the remaining fair value through other comprehensive income "FVTOCI" financial assets are derived fromquoted market prices in active markets.
iv. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions withinvestment grade credit ratings. Interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity forward contractsare valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently appliedvaluation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporatevarious inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves ofthe respective currencies, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forwardrate curves of the underlying commodity. All derivative contracts are fully cash collateralised, thereby eliminating bothcounterparty and the Company’s own non-performance risk. As at 31 March 2025, the marked-to-market value of derivativeasset positions is net of a credit valuation adjustment attributable to derivative counterparty default risk. The changes incounterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedgerelationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
The Company’s Financial Risk Management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Companyis exposed to Market Risk, Credit Risk & liquidity risk.
The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The senior professionals working to managethe financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company are accountable to the Board ofDirectors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company’s senior management that the Company’s financialrisk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured andmanaged in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.
