n. Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised only when:
a. the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; and
b. it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation; and
c. a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect oftime value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows.Reimbursement expected in respect of expenditure required to settle a provision is recognised only when it isvirtually certain that the reimbursement will be received.
Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:
- a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation.
- present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible
- a possible obligation arising from past events where the probability of outflow of resources is not remote.
Contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflowof economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Provision for onerous contracts: Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contractexceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under thecontract is recognised and measured as a provision for onerous contract/foreseeable losses.
o. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by theweighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of theCompany with the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for effectsof diluting potential equity shares towards ESOP plan.
p. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability orequity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are initially measured at fair value. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significantfinancing component are measured at transaction price. In case of financial assets not recorded at fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.Transaction cost of financial assets carried at FVTPL is expensed in the statement of profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement:
For subsequent measurement, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurementcategories:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets measured at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss);
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and thecontractual terms of cash flows.
i. Financial assets measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a. The Company's business model objective for managing the financial asset is to hold financial assets tocollect contractual cash flows, and
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
This category applies to cash and bank balances, trade receivables, loans and other financial assets of theCompany (Refer note 37 for further details). Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest method. The effect of the amortisation under effective interest methodis recognised as interest income over the relevant period of the financial asset under other income in theStatement of Profit and Loss. The amortised cost of a financial asset is also adjusted for loss allowance, ifany.
ii. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:
a. The Company's business model objective for managing the financial asset is achieved both by collectingcontractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
This category applies to certain investments in debt instruments (Refer note 37 for further details). Suchfinancial assets are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value changes arerecognised in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). However, the Company recognises interest incomeand impairment losses and its reversals in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
On derecognition of such financial assets, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassifiedfrom equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Further, the Company, through an irrevocable election at initial recognition, may measure certain investmentsin equity instruments at FVTOCI (Refer note 37 for further details). The Company has made such election onan instrument-by-instrument basis. These equity instruments are neither held for trading nor are contingentconsideration recognised under a business combination. Pursuant to such irrevocable election, subsequentchanges in the fair value of such equity instruments are recognised in OCI. However, the Company recognisesdividend income from such instruments in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receivepayment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amountcan be measured reliably. On derecognition of such financial assets, cumulative gain or loss previouslyrecognised in OCI is not reclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Companymay transfer such cumulative gain or loss into retained earnings within equity.
iii. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset is measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI as explainedabove. This is a residual category applied to all other investments of the Company excluding investments insubsidiary and associate companies (Refer note 37 for further details).
Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value changes arerecognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the assets has expired, or has beentransferred, and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
I n cases where Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of thefinancial asset, but retains control of the financial asset, the Company continues to recognise such financialasset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In that case, the Company also recognisesan associated liability. The financial asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects therights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss onthe assets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied dependson whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 37 details how the Company determineswhether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables alone, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by 'Ind AS 109-Financialinstruments', which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Non-derivative financial liabilitiesInitial recognition and measurement
All non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In case of non-derivative financialliabilities not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction cost is attributed to the acquisitionof the financial liability. Transaction cost of non-derivative financial liabilities carried at FVTPL is expensed in thestatement of profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities of the Company are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod (Refer note 37 for further details). The cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method ofthe difference between the initial recognition amount and the maturity amount is added to the initial recognitionvalue (net of principal repayments, if any) of the financial liability over the relevant period of the financial liability toarrive at the amortised cost at each reporting date. The corresponding effect of the amortisation under effectiveinterest method is recognised as interest expense under finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.When an existing financial liability is replaced by another liability from the same lender on substantially differentterms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treatedas the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respectivecarrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
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 on a netbasis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. Theliability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordancewith 'Ind AS 37-Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and the amount initially recognised lesscumulative amortisation, where appropriate.
The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flowsbetween the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required withoutthe guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.
q. Cash and cash equivalents
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.
r. Share-based payments
The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments (such as employee stock options) is measured at the grantdate and recognized as an employee benefit expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase inequity (employee stock option reserve).
The vesting period is the time during which the employee must meet specific conditions to receive the award. Ateach reporting date, the Company reviews and updates its estimate of the number of options expected to vest,based on service and non-vesting conditions. Any changes in these estimates are reflected in the statement ofprofit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
s. Cash dividend to equity holders
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised,and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the Companies Act, 2013, a distributionis authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
t. Exceptional items
An item of income or expense which by its size, nature or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve anunderstanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and disclosed as such in thefinancial statements.
2.3 Material accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to makecertain judgments, estimates and assumptions. These judgments, estimates and assumptions affect the reportedamounts of revenue, expenses, current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities, non-current liabilities anddisclosure of the contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilitieseffected in future periods.
Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes.
The areas involving critical estimates and judgements are:
• Determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time. Refernote 29
• Determining the expected losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probablebased on the expected total contract cost as at the reporting date. Refer note 29
• Determining the method to be applied to arrive at the variable consideration including variations andclaims(including liquidated damages) requiring an adjustment to the transaction price. Refer note 29
• Estimation of defined benefit obligation - Note 33
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity, and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined usingactuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. Information about the various estimates and assumptions made in determining thepresent value of defined benefit obligations are disclosed in note 32.
• Recognition of deferred tax assets - Note 26
The Company uses judgement based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allocation of revenue, costs, allowancesand disallowances in determining the provision for income tax. The Company exercises its judgement to reassessthe carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.
• Impairment of trade receivables - Note 38
The Company uses a simplified approach for recognising expected credit loss. The amount of provision dependson certain parameters set by the Company in its provisioning policy. The setting up of parameters requiressignificant judgement and estimation. The same is reviewed by the management at a regular frequency.
• Estimate of useful life of assets - Note 3
The Company determines, based on independent technical assessment, the estimated useful lives of its property,plant and equipment and intangible assets for calculating depreciation and amortisation. This estimate isdetermined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear. Management reviewsthe residual value and useful lives periodically and future depreciation and amortisation charge would be adjustedwhere the management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.
• Fair Value Measurement-Note 37
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measuredbased on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including theDCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is notfeasible, a degree of assumption is required in establishing fair values. Assumptions include considerations ofinputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect thereported fair value of financial instruments.
Estimation and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognisedprospectively.

The payment is due from the date of invoice and payment terms are in the range of 30 days to 120 days.The Company expects that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service toa customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be less than one year. Therefore,Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of financing component.
33 Employee benefits
a) Defined contribution plans
The Company has recognised ' 120.465 (31 March 2025: ' 112.936) towards post-employment definedcontribution plans comprising of provident fund, Employee State Insurance Scheme, National Pension Schemeand superannuation fund in the statement of profit and loss.

I n accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company is required to provide post-employmentbenefit to its employees in the form of gratuity. The Company has maintained a fund with the Life InsuranceCorporation of India and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance to meet its gratuity obligations. In accordance with theStandard, the disclosures relating to the Company's gratuity plan are provided below:
Risk Exposure and Asset Liability Matching
Provision of a defined benefit scheme poses certain risks, some of which are detailed hereunder, as companiestake on uncertain long term obligations to make future benefit payments.
1) Liability Risks
a. Asset-Liability Mismatch Risk
Risk which arises if there is a mismatch in the duration of the assets relative to the liabilities. Bymatching duration with the defined benefit liabilities, the company is successfully able to neutralizevaluation swings caused by interest rate movements.
b. Discount Rate Risk
Variations in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the liabilities may seem small, butin practice can have a significant impact on the defined benefit liabilities.
c. Future Salary Escalation and Inflation Risk
Since price inflation and salary growth are linked economically, they are combined for disclosurepurposes. Rising salaries will often result in higher future defined benefit payments resulting in a higherpresent value of liabilities especially unexpected salary increases provided at management's discretionmay lead to uncertainties in estimating this increasing risk.
2) Asset Risks
All plan assets are maintained in a trust fund managed by LIC of India and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance.The company has opted for a traditional fund wherein all assets are invested primarily in risk averse markets.The company has no control over the management of funds but this option provides a high level of safetyfor the total corpus. A single account is maintained for both the investment and claim settlement and hence100% liquidity is ensured. Also interest rate and inflation risk are taken care of.
The liabilities for compensated absences represent the Company's obligations for Privileged/earned leave andare classified as other long-term employee benefits. These liabilities are presented as current, as the Companydoes not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of these obligations. Accordingly, the entire balance istreated as a current obligation as at the reporting date. However, based on past experience, the Company doesnot expect all employees to avail the full amount of accrued leave or require settlement within the next 12 months.The expense/(gain) recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the year amounts to ' (8.558) million(31 March 2025: ' 51.675 million).
d) The Code on Social Security, 2020
During the year ended 31 March 2026, the Central Government of India has notified the Code on Wages, 2019,the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security ,2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health andWorking Conditions Code, 2020, collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes', effective from 21 November 2025primarilyimpactingthewagedefinitiontobeconsideredforthepurposeofdefinedbenefitobligationrelatingtogratuity.The new Labour Codes introduced by the Government of India, interalia, requires gratuity and leave encashment tobe calculated based on wages as defined in Act. This has resulted in an increase in liability for past service periods.Company has also changed policy on compensated absences. Based on assessment of changed regulationand company's policy for compensated absences, Company has recognised past service cost aggregating to' 209.808 millions during the year in accordance with Ind As 19. The Company also recognized an incrementalliability of ' 29.000 million for contract labours. Other potential impacts for contract labours are being evaluatedbut are not expected to be material. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central/State Rulesand clarifications from the Government and would provide appropriate accounting effect as and when suchclarifications are issued/rules are notified.

35 Expenditure on research & development activities
Revenue expenditure on research is charged under respective heads of account in the year in which it is incurred.Capital expenditure on development consists of property, plant and equipment, Capital work in progress, IntangibleAssets and Intangible assets under development. The property, plant and equipment and Intangible Assets as includedabove are depreciated / amortised on the same basis as per their respective categories. The break-up of Research anddevelopment (R&D) capital and revenue expenditure is as below:
37 Fair value measurements
As per assessments made by the management, fair values of all financial instruments carried at amortised cost(except investment in quoted non-convertible bonds) are not materially different from their carrying amounts sincethey are either short term in nature or the interest rates applicable are equal to the current market rate of interest.
The Company has performed a fair valuation of its investment in mutual funds which are classified as fair valuethrough profit and loss (FVTPL) and bonds which are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income(FVOCI) using quoted prices and fair valuations of foreign exchange forward contracts as per mark to market valuationfrom bank.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument that wouldbe received to sell an asset or paid to transfer liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
(i) The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payablesand other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short termmaturities of these instruments.
(ii) The amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) of non-current financial assets consisting of security andterm deposits are not significantly different from the carrying amount.
(iii) The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
38 Financial risk management policy and objectives
The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprise lease liabilities and trade and other payables. The main purposeof these financial liabilities is to finance company's operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations.Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, security deposits and cash and cashequivalents, that derive directly from its operations.
In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, it has taken various measures.This note explains the source of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and impact ofthe same in the financial statements.
The company's risk management is carried out by management, under policies approved by the board of directors.Company's treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the company's operatingunits. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas,such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk in case of the Company arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financialinstitutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.
Credit risk management
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. Tomanage this, the Company periodically assesses the reliability of customers, taking into account the financialcondition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable.Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether thereis a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at thereporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportiveforward looking information such as:
(i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to counterparty's ability tomeet its obligations,
(iv) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
(v) Significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-partyguarantees or credit enhancements.
The Company provides for expected credit loss in case of trade receivables when there is no reasonableexpectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or failing to engage in a repayment plan with thecompany etc.
The Company uses simplified approach for estimating the lifetime expected loss provision. The Company providesexpected loss based on the overdue number of days for receivables as per the provision matrix as decided by themanagement which is based on the historical experience of recoverability. Where receivables have been writtenoff, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Whererecoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
B) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through anadequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions.Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowingfacilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is carried out inaccordance with practice and limits set by the Company. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policyinvolves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoringbalance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financingplans.
(C) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk mainly through its sales to overseas customers and purchasesfrom overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Companyfollows established risk management policies, including use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contractsto hedge exposure to foreign currency risk, where the economic conditions match the Company's policy.
