8. Provisions and contingent liabilities andContingent Assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, theCompany has a present legal or constructive obligation thatcan be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflowof economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation. If the effect of the time value of money ismaterial, provisions are determined by discounting theexpected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that refectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money andthe risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage of time isrecognized as a finance costs.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate ofthe consideration required to settle the present obligationat reporting date, taking into account the risks anduncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settlea provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certainthat reimbursement will be received and the amount of thereceivable can be measured reliably. The expense relating toa provision is presented in the statement of profit and lossnet of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise frompast events and whose existence will only be confirmed bythe occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more futureevents not wholly within the control of the Company. Whereit is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits willbe required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, theobligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless theprobability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgmentof the management/independent experts. These arereviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted torefect the current management estimate.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the Company.Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statementswhen inflow of economic benefits is probable on the basisof judgment of management. These are assessedcontinually to ensure that developments are appropriatelyrefected in the financial statements.
9. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recordedat the functional currency spot rates at the date thetransaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are translated at the functional currencyspot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchangedifferences arising on settlement or translation ofmonetary items are recognized in profit or loss in theyear in which it arises.
Non-monetary items are measured in terms ofhistorical cost in a foreign currency are translated usingthe exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
10. Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale ofgoods
Revenue is recognized on satisfaction of performanceobligation upon transfer of control of promisedproducts or services to customers in an amount thatreflects the consideration the Company expects toreceive in exchange for those products or services.
The Company does not expect to have any contractswhere the period between the transfer of the promisedgoods or services to the customer and payment by thecustomer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it doesnot adjust any of the transaction prices for the timevalue of money.
Revenue from EPC Contracts is recognized based onthe stage of completion with reference to the costsincurred on contracts and their estimated total costs.Provision for foreseeable losses/constructioncontingencies on turnkey contracts is made on thebasis of technical assessments of costs to be incurredand revenue to be accounted for.
Other income
Interest income is recognized, when no significantuncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists,on a time proportion basis taking into account theamount outstanding and the applicable interest rate,using the effective interest rate method (EIR).
When calculating the EIR, the Company estimates theexpected cash flows by considering all the contractualterms of the financial instrument (for example,prepayment, extension, call and similar options) butdoes not consider the expected credit losses. Interestincome is included in other income in the statement ofprofit and loss.
11. Employee benefits
11.1 Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured onan undiscounted basis and are expensed as the relatedservice is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paidunder performance related pay if the Company has a presentlegal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as aresult of past service provided by the employee and theobligation can be estimated reliably.
11.2 Post-Employment benefits
Employee benefit that are payable after the completion ofemployment are Post-Employment Benefit (other thantermination benefit). These are of two types:
11.2.1 Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are those plans in which anentity pays fixed contribution into separate entities and willhave no legal or constructive obligation to pay furtheramounts. Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance areDefined Contribution Plans in which the company pays afixed contribution and will have no further obligation.
11.2.2 Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit planother than a defined contribution plan.
Company pays Gratuity as per provisions of the Gratuity Act,1972. The Company's net obligation in respect of definedbenefit plans is calculated separately for each plan byestimating the amount of future benefit that employeeshave earned in return for their service in the current andprior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine itspresent value. Any unrecognized past service costs and thefair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rateis based on the prevailing market yields of Indiangovernment securities as at the reporting date that havematurity dates approximating the terms of the Company'sobligations and that are denominated in the same currencyin which the benefits are expected to be paid. Thecalculation is performed annually by a qualified actuaryusing the projected unit credit method. When thecalculation results in a liability to the company, the presentvalue of liability is recognized as provision for employeebenefit. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in OtherComprehensive Income ("OCI") in the period in which theyarise.
12. Income tax
Tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. Currenttax expense is recognized in the statement of profit or lossexcept to the extent that it relates to items recognizeddirectly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which
case it is recognized in OCI or equity. Current tax is theexpected tax payable on the taxable income for theyear, using tax rates enacted or substantively enactedand as applicable at the reporting date, and anyadjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.Current taxes are recognized under 'Income taxpayable' net of payments on account, or under 'Taxreceivables' where there is a debit balance.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheetmethod, providing for temporary differences betweenthe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities forfinancial reporting purposes and the amounts used fortaxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the taxrates that are expected to be applied to temporarydifferences when they reverse, based on the laws thathave been enacted or substantively enacted by thereporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities areoffset if there is a legally enforceable right to offsetcurrent tax liabilities and assets, and they relate toincome taxes levied by the same tax authority on thesame taxable entity, or on different tax entities, butthey intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets ona net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will berealized simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized in the statement of profit orloss except to the extent that it relates to itemsrecognized directly in OCI or equity, in which case it isrecognized in OCI or equity. A deferred tax asset isrecognized to the extent that it is probable that futuretaxable profits will be available against which thetemporary difference can be utilized. Deferred taxassets are reviewed at each reporting date and arereduced to the extent that it is no longer probable thatthe related tax benefit will be realized. Additionalincome taxes that arise from the distribution ofdividends are recognized at the same time that theliability to pay the related dividend is recognized.
13.Leases
13.1 As Lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified asa finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of thelease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as afinance lease. All other leases are classified as operatingleases. For operating leases, rental income isrecognized on a straight-line basis over the term of therelevant lease
13.2 As Lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist ofleases for buildings. The Company assesses whether acontract contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Acontract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefitsfrom use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Companyrecognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a correspondinglease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee,except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-termleases) and low-value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments asan operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term ofthe lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options toextend or terminate the lease before the end of the leaseterm. ROU assets and lease liabilities include these optionswhen it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprisesthe initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any leasepayments made at or prior to the commencement date ofthe lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets aredepreciated from the commencement date on a straight¬line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life ofthe underlying asset. The lease liability is initially measuredat amortized cost at the present value of the future leasepayments. The lease payments are discounted using theinterest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readilydeterminable, using the incremental borrowing rates.
14. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financialassets are reviewed at each reporting date to determinewhether there is any indication of impairment consideringthe provisions of Ind AS 36 'Impairment of Assets'. If anysuch indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amountis estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unitis the higher of its fair value less costs to disposal and itsvalue in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated futurecash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre¬tax discount rate that refects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and the risks specific to theasset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets thatcannot be tested individually are grouped together into thesmallest group of assets that generates cash inflows fromcontinuing use that are largely independent of the cashinflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash¬generating unit", or "CGU").
An impairment loss is recognized if the carryingamount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimatedrecoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognizedin profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized inrespect of CGUs are reduced from the carryingamounts of the assets of the CGU.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods areassessed at each reporting date for any indications thatthe loss has decreased or no longer exists. Animpairment loss is reversed if there has been a changein the estimates used to determine the recoverableamount. An impairment loss is reversed only to theextent that the asset's carrying amount does notexceed the carrying amount that would have beendetermined, net of depreciation or amortization, if noimpairment loss had been recognized.
15. Dividends
Dividends and interim dividends payable to aCompany's shareholders are recognized as changes inequity in the period in which they are approved by theshareholders' meeting and the Board of Directorsrespectively.
16. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividingthe net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholdersof the Company by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividingthe net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholdersof the Company by the weighted average number ofequity shares considered for deriving basic earnings perequity share and also the weighted average number ofequity shares that could have been issued uponconversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
17. Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with theindirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 'Statement ofCash Flows' for operating activities.
18. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognizedwhen the Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initiallymeasured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assetsand financial liabilities (other than financial assets andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss("FVTPL")) are added to or deducted from the fair value of
the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, oninitial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable tothe acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss are recognized immediately instatement of profit and loss.
19.1 Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognized at fairvalue. All recognized financial assets are subsequentlymeasured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fairvalue through profit or loss (FVTPL) or fair value throughother comprehensive income (FVOCI) depending on theclassification of the financial assets.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to theirrecognition, except if and in the period the Company changesits business model for managing financial assets.
Trade Receivables and Loans:
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value.Subsequently, these assets are held at amortized cost, usingthe effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expectedcredit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimatedfuture cash income through the expected life of financialinstrument.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when thecontractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assetexpire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive thecash flows from the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assetssubsequent to initial recognition other than financials assetsin FVTPL category.
ECL is the weighted-average of difference between allcontractual cash flows that are due to the Company inaccordance with the contract and all the cash flows that theCompany expects to receive, discounted at the originaleffective interest rate, with the respective risks of defaultoccurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, theCompany is required to consider:
a) All contractual terms of the financial assets (includingprepayment and extension) over the expected life of theassets.
b) Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other creditenhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies thesimplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requiresmeasurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetimeexpected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are theexpected credit losses that result from all possible defaultevents over the expected life of a financial instrument.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, as perInd AS 109, the Company recognises 12 month expectedcredit losses for all originated or acquired financial assetsif at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial assethas not increased significantly since its initialrecognition. The expected credit losses are measured aslifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk onfinancial asset increases significantly since its initialrecognition. The Company assumes that the credit riskon a financial asset has not increased significantly sinceinitial recognition if the financial asset is determined tohave low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
19.2 Financial liabilities and equity instrumentsClassification as equity
Equity instruments issued by the Company are classified aseither financial liabilities or as equity in accordance withthe substance of the contractual arrangements and thedefinitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences aresidual interest in the assets of an entity afterdeducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issuedby the Company are recognized at the proceedsreceived, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instrumentsis recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gainor loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss onthe purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of theCompany's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Companybecomes a party to the contractual provisions of theinstrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured atthe amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they areclassified as fair value through profit or loss. In case oftrade payables, they are initially recognized at fairvalue and subsequently, these liabilities are held atamortised cost, using the effective interest method. Allfinancial liabilities are subsequently measured atamortized cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profitor loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fairvalue recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.Interest expense are included in the 'Finance costs' lineitem. The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortized cost of a financial liabilityand of allocating interest expense over the relevantperiod.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash payments (including
all fees and points paid or received that form an integral partof the effective interest rate, transaction costs and otherpremiums or discounts) through the expected life of thefinancial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, tothe net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, andonly when, the Company's obligations are discharged,cancelled or have expired.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses forwards to mitigate the risk of changesin interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. Suchderivative financial instruments are initially recognized atfair value on the date on which a derivative contract isentered into and are also subsequently measured at fairvalue. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fairvalue is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair valueis negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in thefair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement ofProfit and Loss.
20 Segment Reporting
The main business of the Company is of manufacturing andsales of Cables & Conductors. All other activities of theCompany revolve around the main business. There is onlyone reportable segment. Hence, disclosures pursuant to IndAS 108 - Operating Segments are not applicable.
21 Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products/activities of the Companyand the normal time between acquisition of assets and theirrealisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company hasdetermined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purposeof classification of its assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent.
D) Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies newstandards or amendments to the existing standards underCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issuedfrom time to time. For the year ended March 31,2025, MCAhas not notified any new standards or amendments to theexisting standards applicable to the Company.
E) Major Estimates made in preparing FinancialStatements
1. Useful life of property, plant and equipment andintangible assets
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment isbased on a number of factors including the effects ofobsolescence, demand, competition and other economicfactors (such as the stability of the industry and knowntechnological advances) and the level of maintenance
expenditures required to obtain the expected futurecash flows from the asset.
Useful life of the assets other than Plant and machineryare in accordance with Schedule II of the CompaniesAct, 2013.
The Company reviews at the end of each reporting datethe useful life of property, plant and equipment, andare adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Intangibleassets are amortised over a period of estimated usefullife as determined by the management.
2. Post-employment benefit plans
Employee benefit obligations are measured on thebasis of actuarial assumptions which include mortalityand withdrawal rates as well as assumptionsconcerning future developments in discount rates, therate of salary increases and the inflation rate. TheCompany considers that the assumptions used tomeasure its obligations are appropriate anddocumented. However, any changes in theseassumptions may have a material impact on theresulting calculations.
3. Provisions and contingencies
The assessments undertaken in recognizing provisions andcontingencies have been made in accordance with Ind AS37, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets'. The evaluation of the likelihood of the contingentevents has required best judgment by managementregarding the probability of exposure to potential loss.Should circumstances change following unforeseeabledevelopments, this likelihood could alter.
4. Allowance for credit losses on receivables
The Company determines the allowance for credit lossesbased on historical loss experience adjusted to refectcurrent and estimated future economic conditions. TheCompany considered current and anticipated futureeconomic conditions relating to industries the Companydeals with and the countries where it operates. Incalculating expected credit loss, the Company has alsoconsidered credit reports and other related creditinformation for its customers to estimate the probability ofdefault in future.

41. Post Employment Obligations
a) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company also has defined contribution plan for its employees' retirement benefits comprising Provident Fund &Employees' State Insurance Fund. The Company and eligible employees make monthly contribution to the above mentionedfunds at a specified percentage of the covered employees salary. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amountcontributed and it has no further contractual or any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the year towardsprovident fund is Rs. 106.31 lakhs (March 31,2024 : Rs. 80.29 lakhs). The expense recognised during the period towardsEmployees' State Insurance is Rs. 43.73 lakhs (March 31,2024 : Rs. 28.04 lakhs)
b) Defined Benefit Plans:
Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are incontinuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ terminationis the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the numberof years of service. The liability in respect of Gratuity has been determined using Projected Unit Credit Method by anindependent actuary.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice,this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of thedefined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligationcalculated with the projected credit method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied as when calculating the definedbenefit liability recognized in the balance sheet.
(xi) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailedbelow:
Asset Volatility : The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assetsunderperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments is in fixed income securities with highgrades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk withderivatives to minimise risk to an acceptable level. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities and in alternativeinvestments which have low correlation with equity securities. The equity securities are expected to earn a return in excessof the discount rate and contribute to the plan deficit. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregateamount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. Any deviations from the range are corrected byrebalancing the portfolio. The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the continuing years.
Changes in bond yields : A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by anincrease in the value of the plans' bond holdings.
Inflation risks : In the pension plans, the pensions in payment are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.
Life expectancy : The pension plan obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in lifeexpectancy will result in an increase in the plans' liabilities. This is particularly significant where infationary increases resultin higher sensitivity to changes in life expectancy.
The Company ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that hasbeen developed to achieve long term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans.
Within this framework, the Company's ALM objective is to match assets to the pension obligations by investing in long-term fixedinterest securities with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency.
The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cashoutflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risksfrom previous periods. The Company uses derivatives to manage some of its risk. Investments are well diversified, such that thefailure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.
43. Derivatives
(I) The company has entered in to various currency future contracts to hedge its risks associated with respect to currencyfluctuation. The use of currency future contracts is governed by the company's strategy approved by the board of directors,which provides principles on the use of such future contracts consistent with the company risk management policy. Thecompany does not use future contracts for speculative purpose.
(ii) Risk associated with fluctuation in the currency is minimized by hedging on future market. The result of currency hedgingcontracts, transactions are treated in profit & loss account as income or expenditure as the case may be.
(iii) Outstanding currency future contracts (USD) entered in to by the company as on 31.03.2025 is Nil (PY- Nil)
44. Corporate social responsibility expenditure
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company, meeting the applicability threshold, needs to spend at least 2%of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on corporate social responsibility (CSR)activities.
45. Dividend
The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.50 per equity share (PY : Rs 0.50 per equity share), subject toapproval of shareholders in annual general meeting for financial year 2024-25.
46. Disclosure as per Ind AS 108 - Operating Segments
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of conductors and cables which widely include manufacturing ofLV, MV and HV Power Cables, Aerial Bunched Cables, All Aluminium conductors, All Aluminium Alloy Conductor, Railwaysignaling cables etc. All other activities of the Company revolve around its main business. Accordingly, Management hasidentified the business as single operating segment. Accordingly, there is only one reportable segment for the companywhich is 'Conductors and Cables'. Hence, as per Ind AS 108, 'Operating Segments', no disclosures related to segments arepresented.
47. Financial Risk Management
The Company's Financial Risk Management is an integral part of planning and execution of its business strategies. TheCompany's financial risk management is set by the Managing Board. The Company's prinicipal financial liabilities compriseborrowings, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the company'soperations. The company's principal financial assets include trade & other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, securitydeposits.
Company is exposed to following risk from the use of its financial instruments:
-Credit Risk-Liquidity Risk-Market Risk
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet itscontractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises principally from trade receivables, loans& advances, cash & cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions.
Cash & Cash Equivalents & Other Financial assets:
The Company maintain its cash & cash equivalent in current account to meet the day to day requirements. Credit Risk on cashand cash equivalent, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as the said deposits have been made withthe banks/ financial institutions who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of Rs. 3187.39 Lakhs ( As on 31 March, 2024 : 2993.08Lakhs).
Trade Receivables:
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company through its established policies and procedures which involve setting upcredit limits based on credit profling of individual customers, credit approvals for enhancement of limits and regularmonitoring of important developments viz. payment history, change in credit rating, regulatory changes, industry outlooketc. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored and an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on anindividual basis for each major customer. In addition, small customers are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessedfor impairment collectively.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or reversal thereofand uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL allowance for trade receivables. In calculating ECL, Company also considerscredit reports and other related credit information for their customers to estimate the probability of default in future.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is toensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal andstressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and bank balances and access to undrawn committedborrowing facilities.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of afinancial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreigncurrency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitiveinstruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits,foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings. The objective of market risk management is to manage and controlmarket risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
a) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket interest rate. In order to optimize the Company's position with regards to interest income and interest expenses andto manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by maximisingthe use of fixed rate instruments.
