Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a pastevent, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surroundingthe obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation,its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money ismaterial).
Contingent liabilities exist when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence ofwhich will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Group, or a present obligation that arises from past events where it iseither not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or the amount
cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are appropriately disclosed unless the possibility of anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
a) Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for.
b) Export obligations against the licenses taken for import of capital goods under the EPCG Scheme.
c) Obligation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022."
Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recoveredprincipally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as metonly when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only toterms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset and its sale is highly probable. The Company mustbe committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale withinone year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fairvalue less costs to sell. The determination of fair value net of cost to sell includes use of managementestimates and assumptions.
Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale arepresented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classifiedas held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment propertiesare no longer amortised or depreciated.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset thatnecessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as partof the cost of the asset. All borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costsconsist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Intereston Borrowing is calculated using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method and is recognised in statement of profitand loss.
Operating segments are reported consistent with the internal reporting provided to Chief OperatingDecision Maker.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company entity becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assetsand financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair valueof the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss arerecognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
The Company enters into derivative financial contracts in the nature of forward currency contracts withbanks to reduce business risks which arise from its exposures to foreign exchange. Derivatives are initiallyaccounted for and measured at fair value from the date the derivative contract is entered into and aresubsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change therein isgenerally recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when fairvalue is positive and as financial liabilities when fair value is negative.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if thereis a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle ona net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis.Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets withinthe time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fairvalue through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financialasset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured attransaction price.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
Ý the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collectcontractual cash flows; and
Ý the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment loss, if any
For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer paragraph on Impairmentof financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income (FVTOCI):
Ý the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractualcash flows and selling financial assets; and
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognisingforeign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured atamortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and
other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income andaccumulated under the heading of 'Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income'.When the investment is disposed off, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve isreclassified to statement of profit and loss.
For the impairment policy on debt instruments at FVTOCI, refer paragraph on Impairment of financial assets.All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument andof allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid that form an integral part of the effectiveinterest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debtinstrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assetsclassified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss and is included in the"Other income" line item.
Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL..
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measuredat FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but aredesignated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets (including derivative assets) at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reportingperiod, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or lossrecognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned, mark to market gain on the financialasset and is included in the 'Other income' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognisedwhen the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefitsassociated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part ofcost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, trade receivables, other contractual rights toreceive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated at FVTPL.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurringas the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Companyin accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cashshortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate forpurchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by consideringall contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similaroptions) through the expected life of that financial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetimeexpected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial
recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition,the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-monthexpected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit lossesand represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after thereporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.
If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model inthe previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increasedsignificantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previousperiod, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.
When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initialrecognition, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of thefinancial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment,the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting datewith the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition andconsiders reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that isindicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result fromtransactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures the loss allowance at anamount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, theCompany has used a simplified approach using a provision matrix.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that thereis no realistic prospect of recovery.
The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally appliedto debt instruments at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive incomeand is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance sheet.
The Company reviews its investments in subsidiaries carried at cost for impairment annually or wheneverthere is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, theimpairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss (Refer note no. 39.3 & 39.4).
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assetexpire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of theasset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amountand the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had beenrecognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if suchgain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option torepurchase part of a transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financialasset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer
recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The differencebetween the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of theconsideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it thathad been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss wouldhave otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or lossthat had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues tobe recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method orat FVTPL.
However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition orwhen the continuing involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company,and commitments issued by the Company to provide a loan at below-market interest rate are measured inaccordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured atamortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilitiesthat are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method.Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'Finance costs' line item.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability andof allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form anintegral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through theexpected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount oninitial recognition.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimbursethe holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordancewith the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by a Company entity are initially measured at their fair values and, if notdesignated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:
Ý the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS109; and
Ý the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognisedin accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations aredischarged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantiallydifferent terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognitionof a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability(whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishmentof the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognisedin statement of profit and loss.
Derivative liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurementrecognised in profit or loss. The mark to market loss recognised in profit or loss is included in the 'Otherexpense' line item.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term depositswith an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
An item of income or expense which by its size, type or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve anunderstanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and disclosed as suchin the standalone financial statements.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to equity shareholdersby the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose ofcalculating diluted earnings per share, the profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and theweighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutivepotential equity shares.
Statement of Cash flows is reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted forthe effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts orpayments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregatedbased on the available information.
2-B. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Company's Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements requires management to makeestimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about theseestimates and judgements could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The key estimates and judgements concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertaintyat the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its judgementsand estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existingcircumstances and judgements about future developments, however, may change due to market changesor circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in theestimates and judgements when they occur.
The following areas are subject to estimation uncertainties and the details thereof are included inrespective notes:
Warranty provisions are determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales. Thesame percentage to the sales is applied for the current accounting period to derive the warranty expense tobe accrued. Period of measurement is considered in line with warranty period offered for respective products.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.A provision is reversed when it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit ("CGU") exceeds its recoverableamount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value lesscosts of disposal calculation is based on available data for similar assets or observable market prices lessincremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on discounting futurecash flows using a post-tax discount rate. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used onexpected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. Further, the Companyuses judgement in making assumptions and selecting the inputs to calculate the recoverable value fordetermining impairment, based on Company's history, existing market conditions as well as forward lookingestimates at the end of each reporting period These estimates are most relevant for determining impairmentof investment in subsidiaries.
In measuring the fair value of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose, the Company usesmarket observable data to the extent available. Where such Level 1 inputs are not available, the Companyestablish appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The inputs to these models are takenfrom observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is requiredin establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit riskand volatility. Changes in judgements about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financialinstruments. Refer note 44 for further disclosures.
The Company reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant andEquipment and amortization of intangible assets at each reporting date. Estimates are involved in thedetermination of these values, rates, methods and hence they are subject to uncertainty.
The cost as well as the present value of defined benefit plans - gratuity is determined using ActuarialValuations. The Actuarial Valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increasesand other important related data. Due to the long-term nature of employee benefits, such estimates aresubject to significant uncertainty.
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effectson the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
Lease Liabilities: Key assumptions about reasonable certainty of the Company exercising renewal optionsunder the agreement.
(2-C). Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards underCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to thedate of issuance of the Standalone Financial Statements are disclosed below. The Company will adoptthis new and amended standard, when it becomes effective.
(i) Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities withCovenants The amendment requires that if a covenant breach is rectified after the reporting date, thesame will be treated as a non-adjusting event and this amendment will be applicable from annualreporting periods beginning on or after the April 01,2026.
The amendment does not see any material impact on the Standalone Financial Statements.
In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign ExchangeRates, applicable w.e.f. April 01, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and basedon its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its standalonefinancial statements.
In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:
1. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, applicable w.e.f April 01,2025 - The amendmentrelates to classification of liabilities as current or non -current and noncurrent liabilities withcovenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement ofexistence of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, andinstead requires that the said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance.The amendment also introduces guidance on classification of liabilities with covenants. TheCompany has no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non¬current liabilities.
2. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, applicablew.e.f April 01,2025 - The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform users of financial statementsof the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explain the nature of the arrangements,the carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has beenamended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration ofliquidity risk. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation hasdetermined that it does not have any significant impact in its Standalone financial statements.
3. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - Theamendments provide a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is immediate and appliesretrospectively. The amendments also require companies to provide new disclosures tocompensate for potential loss of information resulting from the relief. Such disclosures are to beprovided for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01,2025. These requirementsare not applicable to the Company.
4. Other Amendments (Ind AS 115, Ind AS 116): Removed the conflict between Ind AS 109 andInd AS 115 over the amount at which a trade receivable is initially measured (Ind AS 115 andInd AS 116). These amendments do not have a material impact on the Company's standalonefinancial statements.

A number of the above mentioned parties transacted with the Company during the year. The terms andconditions of the transactions with intragroup companies, key management personnel and their relatedparties were no more favourable than those available, or those which might reasonably be expected tobe available, in similar transactions with non-key management personnel-related companies on an arm'slength basis.
Outstanding balances of related parties at the year end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash.
# The above remuneration does not include Gratuity as it is provided in the books on the basis of actuarialvaluation for the Company as a whole and hence individual figures cannot be identified. During the year, nopayment pertaining to Gratuity has been made to Key Management Personnels.

There are no obligations or commitments with reference to such shortterm leases as at reporting date as such leases are cancellable at the discretion of lessee i.e. the Company.
37. Employee Benefits
The Company makes provident fund contribution which is defined contribution plan, for qualifyingemployees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payrollcosts to fund the benefits. The Company recognised H1.80 crores (Year ended March 31, 2025 H1.67 crores)for provident fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to this plan bythe Company is at rate specified in the rule of the scheme.
The defined benefit plan of the Company includes entitlement of gratuity for each year of service until theretirement age.
The plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity riskand salary risk.
Investment The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount raterisk: which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on
government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in governmentsecurities and other debt instruments.
37. Employee Benefits (Contd.)
Interest risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Securities. Rate will increase thepresent value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generallyincreases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Longevity Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement agerisk: only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the futuresalaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumedlevel will increase the plan's liability.
Asset The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in
Liability lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk. The Company
Matching contributes to the insurance fund based on estimated liability of the next financial year end.Risk: The projected liability statement is obtained from the actuarial valuer.
The Present value of gratuity obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unitcredit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefitentitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
38. Leave encashment
As per the policy followed by the Company, all the leaves are enjoyable in the year itself. Therefore there is noliability of leave encashment existing at the end of the year. Accordingly no provision is made for leave encashment.
39. Exceptional Items
(39.1) During the year ended March 31,2025, the Company had written off H50.22 crores towards receivable fromM/s Pathways Retail Pvt Ltd, Delhi out of which H45.99 crores is classified as an exceptional item and balance H4.23crores as expected credit loss provision. During the year ended March 31,2026, the Company has recovered H8.50crores from the said party and this amount is presented as an exceptional item.
(39.2) Pursuant to the notification issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, multiple existing labourlegislations have been consolidated into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes, collectively referredto as the 'New Labour Codes' which became effective from November 21, 2025. The Company has reassessedits employee benefit obligations in accordance with the revised definition of wages and FAQs issued by TheMinistry of Labour & Employment. Accordingly, an incremental liability of H1.40 crores as past service cost on post¬employment defined benefits for its employees has been recognised as an exceptional item during the year endedMarch 31,2026. The Company continues to monitor the developments relating to the implementation of the NewLabour Codes and would review the estimates as further clarifications and Rules are notified.
(39.3) The Company holds long-term investments in the equity shares of Climate Holdings Pty Limited (Formerlyknown as Symphony AU Pty. Limited) ("SAPL"), a wholly owned subsidiary having subsidiaries viz ClimateTechnologies Pty Limited, Australia, and Bonaire USA LLC, USA. As of March 31,2026, the gross carrying amounts ofthese investments was H348.27 crores (as of March 31,2025 H183.91 crores).

B. Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset orliability, either directly or indirectly.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principallybanks. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on observable market inputs includingcurrency spot and forward rate, yield curves, currency volatility, credit quality of counterparties,interest rate and forward rate curves of the underlying instruments etc. and use of appropriatevaluation models.
I Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The carrying amount of Trade receivables, Loans, Cash and cash equivalents and bank balances &Other current financial assets are considered to be the same as their fair value due to their short termnature. The carrying amount of Other non-current financial assets are considered to be close to thefair value.
The Company's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of theCompany. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk),credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is done in close co-ordination with the boardof directors and focuses on actively securing the Company's short, medium and long-term cash flows byminimizing the exposure to volatile financial markets. The Company does not enter into or trade financialinstruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The most significant risksto which the Company is exposed are described below:
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that mayresult from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company's activities expose it primarily to thefinancial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates risk and price risk which impactreturns on investments. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis.
The company is mainly exposed to the currency of United States Dollar (USD), Australian Dollar (AUD), andChinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) against Indian Rupee (INR), have an impact on the Company's operatingresults. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contractsto manage the foreign currency risk exposure.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the termsof those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions, thederivatives cover the period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted upto the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.
At March 31, 2026 the Company hedged 47% (March 31, 2025: 14%) of its expected foreign currency tradereceivables and 49% (March 31,2025: Nil) of its expected foreign currency loan receivables. Those hedgedsales and loans were highly probable at the reporting date. This foreign currency risk is partly hedged byusing foreign currency forward contracts.
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the H against therelevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to
key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible changein foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominatedmonetary items and adjusts their transaction at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the H strengthens 5% against therelevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the H against the relevant currency, there would be a comparableimpact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.
The table below summarises the impact of increases / decreases of the index on the Company's equity andprofit for the year.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financialloss to the Company.
Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk, principally consist of balance withbanks, investments (Bond and mutual fund), trade receivables, loans and advances.
Balances with banks were not past due or impaired as at the year end. In other financial assets that are notpast dues and not impaired, there were no indication of default in repayment as at the year end.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.To manage this risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking intoaccount their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Company manages credit riskthrough, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to whichthe Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
The management continuously monitors the credit exposure towards the customers outstanding at the endof each reporting period to determine incurred and expected credit losses.
The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments in Bond and mutual funds held by theCompany and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through OCI and at fair value through profit or loss.To manage its price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of theportfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
The Company's majority investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Except in caseof Market Linked Debentures the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecastand actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
