Market risk is attributable to all market risksensitive financial instruments including deposits and loans and borrowings.
The company manages market risk through Risk Management Committee, which evaluates and exercises independentcontrol over the entire process of market risk management. The committee recommends risk management objectives andpolicies, which are approved by Risk Management and Board.

Market Risk comprises three types of risk: Interest Rate Risk, Currency Risk and Other Price Risk, suchas Commodity Risk. Financial Instruments affected by Market Risk include Loans and Borrowings, Deposits and FVTOCIInvestments.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,2025 and March 31, 2024.
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This isbased on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any associated cash flow hedges at March 31, 2025for the effects of the assumed changes of the underlying risk.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. In order to balance the company's position with regards to interest incomeand interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk treasury performs a comprehensive interest rate riskmanagement.
The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk arising primarily from transactions denominated in currenciesother than its functional currency. The major exposures of the Company are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and United ArabEmirates Dirham (AED). These exposures arise mainly on account of export receivables and import payables. TheCompany monitors currency fluctuations regularly and manages its exposure through natural hedges arisingfrom offsetting assets and liabilities and may enter into forward exchange contracts, if necessary, to hedge itsexposure. As at the reporting date, no forward contracts were outstanding.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Companymanages its foreign currency risk by converting the foreign currency exposure into ' on the date of entering intothe transaction.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets including Other Current Assets and financial liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are as follows:
A reasonably possible strengthening/(weakening) of the Indian Rupee(INR) against the foreign currencies(FCY)at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currenciesand affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables,in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
The table below shows sensitivity of open forex exposure to FCY/INR movement. We have considered 1% ( /-)change in FCY/INR movement. For a 1% weakening of the INR against the relevant FCY, there would be an equaland opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative. The indicative 1%movement is directional and does not reflect management forecast on currency movement.
Credit Risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.To manage this, the company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers and other counterparties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical baddebts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of suchinformation.
Financial Assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing toengage in a repayment plan with the company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Companycontinues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. When such recoveries aremade, these are then recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss.
The company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practicesand the business environment in which the entity operates.
The Company invests its surplus funds mainly in liquid/short term debt/equity fund schemes of mutual fundsfor short duration, which carry no/low mark to market risks and therefore, exposes the Company to low creditrisk. Such investments are made after reviewing the credit worthiness and market standing of such funds andtherefore, minimises the Company's exposure to credit risk. Such investments are monitored on a regular basis.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and theavailability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when dueand to close out market positions.
