Company recognizes provision, when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where it isprobable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of theobligation can be made. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, itscarrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. For long-term provisions, management performs an exercise ateach balance sheet date to identify the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balancesheet date, discounted at an appropriate rate. The increase in provision due to the passage of time (that is a consequence of thediscount rate) is recognized as borrowing cost.
Contingent liabilities are recognised only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, due to occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company, or where any presentobligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources, or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot bemade. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources areprovided for.

Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments and non-financial assets that are measured at fair value or where fair valuesare disclosed are summarized in the following notes.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place eitherin the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset ormarket for the asset or liability the principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset orliability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits byusing the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and bestuse.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a currenttransaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used toestimate the fair values:
i. Long-term receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country riskfactors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation,allowances are taken into account for the expected credit losses, if any, of these receivables.
ii. The fair values of the quoted equity shares are based on price quotations at the reporting date (Level 1 inputs).
iii. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of Foreign exchange Forwards & Options contracts. Thecounterparties of these contracts are Banks. These derivatives constitute hedge from an economic perspective and are carried asfinancial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or lossesarising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly in the revenue from Sale of products or purchases in theStatement of Profit and Loss. Foreign exchange forward and Option contracts are valued using valuation techniques, whichemploy the use of market observable inputs. The valuation technique applied is the use of "quoted prices in active markets".
iv. The fair values of the Group's interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using DCF method using discount ratethat reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period.
Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure
fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value
hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly orindirectly observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Company determines whether transfershave occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to thefair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The management assessed that for all Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair value.
All fair value measurements for the year ended 31/3/2025 and 31/3/2024 are recurring in nature and there are no Non-recurring fairvalue measurements of assets or liabilities in these periods.
There are no recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in the reporting periods and hencethere is no effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for all assets and liabilities held at the end of thereporting period that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
There has been no change in the valuation techniques in the reporting periods.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractualobligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managedthrough credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which theCompany grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses andimpairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers / corporate taking into account the financial condition, currenteconomic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable and loans receivable. These include customers /corporate, which have high credit-ratings assigned by international and domestic credit-rating agencies. Individual risk limits are setaccordingly.
On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For thispurpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount for trade receivables. The provision matrixtakes into account external and internal credit risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
None of the Company's cash equivalents, including term deposits with banks, were past due or impaired as at 31 March, 2025. Of thetotal trade receivables, Rs. 56,156.31 lakhs as at March 31,2025 and Rs. 64,350.10 lakhs as at March 31,2024 consisted of customerbalances that were neither past due nor impaired. The Company's Credit risk management policies include categorizing the loans andtrade receivables based on estimates of Probability of Default and calculation of Expected Credit Losses (ECL).
Loans and advances include loans given to staff Rs. 114.90 lakhs as at March 31,2025 and Rs. 142.89 lakhs as at March 31,2024, whichthe company perceives no impairment loss to be provided for.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company managesits liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under bothnormal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.
Market risks include Interest Rate Risk and foreign Currency Risk. There are no identifiable Commodity Price Risks or Equity Price
Risks foreseen in the current reporting period.
The Company is mainly exposed to the interest rate risk due to its variable and fixed rate domestic and foreign borrowings. The interest
rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market interest rate on these borrowings.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk principally via:
• Transactional exposure that arises from the sales / receivables / contracts entered based on orders denominated in a currencyother than the functional currency of the Company
• Transactional exposure that arises from the cost of goods sold / payables / contracts entered based on orders denominated in acurrency other than the functional currency of the Company.
• Foreign currency exposure that arises from foreign currency working Capital loans (including interest payable) denominated ina currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

Forward contracts forGold entered into by the company and outstanding as on 31s March, 2025 covers Nil Kg. (For F.Y.2023-2024 it was 1 Kg for purchase ofgold.). Sensivity analysis for commodity risk is not done as it is not material.
The sensitivity analysis reflects the impact on income and equity due to financial instruments held at the balance sheet date. It does notreflect any change in sales or costs that may result from changing interest or exchange rates.
The Company's objectives when managing capital (defined as net debt plus equity) are to safeguard the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, while protecting andstrengthening the balance sheet through the appropriate balance of debt and equity funding.
