2.9. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
2.9.1. Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a pastevent, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation;
2.9.2. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of reimbursements,if any;
2.9.3. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost;
2.9.4. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company, or present obligations where it is not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficientreliability;
2.9.5. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibilityof an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.
2.10. Revenue Recognition:
2.10.1.Sale of goods:
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflectsthe consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to thecustomer which is usually on dispatch / delivery of goods, based on contracts with the customers. Exportsales are recognized on the issuance of Bill of Lading / Airway bill by the carrier. Revenue from sale ofpower from wind operated generators is accounted when the same is transmitted to and confirmed bythe Electricity Board to whom the same is sold.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts,price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers. Accrualsfor discounts/incentives and returns are estimated (using the most likely method) based on accumulatedexperience and underlying schemes and agreements with customers. Due to the short nature of creditperiod given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.
Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.
Contract Balances:Trade Receivables
A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., onlythe passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has receivedconsideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays considerationbefore the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised whenthe payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised asrevenue when the Company performs under the contract.
2.10.2. Rendering of Services
Revenue is recognized from rendering of services when the performance obligation is satisfied and theservices are rendered in accordance with the terms of customer contracts. Revenue is measured basedon the transaction price, which is the consideration, as specified in the contract with the customer;
Revenue from services is recognised over time by measuring progress towards satisfaction of performanceobligation for the services rendered;
2.10.3. Export incentives under various schemes notified by the Government have been recognised on the basisof applicable regulations, and when reasonable assurance to receive such revenue is established;
2.10.4. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method;
2.10.5. Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established;
2.10.6. Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and tothe extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimatecollection.
2.11. Segment reporting:
The Company identifies operating segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returnsand the internal organisation. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financialinformation is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by theManaging Director (who is the Company's chief operating decision maker) in deciding how to allocateresources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies ofthe Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have beenidentified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Intersegment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based onmarket / fair value factors. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company are notallocable to segments on a reasonable basis have been included under 'unallocated revenue / expenses /assets / liabilities'.
2.12. Employee Benefits:
2.12.1. Short-term employee benefits:
Short-term employee benefits (including leave) are recognized as an expense at an undiscounted amountin the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered;
2.12.2. Post-employment benefits:
The Company operates the following post - employment schemes:
• Defined contribution plans such as provident fund; and
• Defined benefit plans such as gratuityDefined Contribution Plans:
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans such as provident fund are recognised asan expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as the related service is rendered by the employee. Thesaid benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further definedobligations beyond the monthly contributions.
Defined Benefit Plans:
The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans such as gratuity is calculated byestimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned in the current and prior periods,discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed at each reporting period end by a qualifiedactuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for theCompany, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in theform of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss aspart of employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting fromemployee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costsare recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The net interest is calculated by applyingthe discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Thisnet interest is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.
2.13. Borrowing costs:
2.13.1. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to theborrowing costs;
2.13.2. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (i.e. an assetthat necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use) are capitalized as apart of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss;
2.13.3. Investment Income earned on the temporary investment of funds of specific borrowings pending theirexpenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
2.14. Foreign Currency Transactions:2.14.1. Monetary items:
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective exchange rates at the date thetransaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange ratesprevailing on the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statementof Profit and Loss either as profit or loss on foreign currency transaction and translation or as borrowingcosts to the extent regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs.
2.14.2. Non - Monetary items:
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translatedusing the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
2.15. Fair Value measurement:
2.15.1. The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date;
2.15.2. Certain accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial andnon- financial assets and liabilities;
2.15.3. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, themost advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability alsoreflects its non-performance risk;
2.15.4. The best estimate of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transactionprice - i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Company determines that the fairvalue on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by aquoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique thatuses only data from observable markets, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value,adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price.Subsequently that difference is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on an appropriate basis overthe life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable marketdata or the transaction is closed out;
2.15.5. While measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far aspossible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs usedin the valuation technique as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability,either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservableinputs);
2.15.6. When quoted price in active market for an instrument is available, the Company measures the fair valueof the instrument using that price. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liabilitytake place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis;
2.15.7. If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that maximisethe use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuationtechnique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing atransaction;
2.15.8. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third partyinformation, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Companyassesses the evidence obtained from third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meetthe requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations shouldbe classified.
2.16. Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity instrument of another entity.
2.16.1. Financial Assets:I. Initial recognition and measurement:
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions ofthe instrument.
All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for tradereceivables that do not contain a significant financing component that are initially measured at thetransaction price determined under Ind AS 115.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets andfinancial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair valueon initial recognition. Financial assets are classified at the initial recognition as financial assetsmeasured at fair value or as financial assets measured at amortised cost.
II. Subsequent measurement:
Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at
a) amortised cost;
b) fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL);
c) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period theCompany changes its business model for managing financial assets.
a) Measured at amortised cost:
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financialassets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal andinterest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate ('EIR')method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, ifany is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Measured at FVOCI:
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved byboth, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely paymentsof principal and interest, are subsequently measured at FVOCI. Fair value movements arerecognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIRmethod and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Onde-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from theequity to 'other income' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on initial recognition)to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Companymakes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changeson the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income(OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and loss, evenon sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss withinequity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with allchanges recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
c) Measured at FVTPL:
A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Suchfinancial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interestincome and dividend income if any, recognised as 'other income' in the Statement of Profitand Loss.
III. De-recognition:
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from thefinancial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the assetand the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
IV. Impairment of Financial assets:
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model formeasurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortisedcosts and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.
Loss allowance on receivables from customers are measured following the 'simplified approach' atan amount equal to lifetime ECL at each reporting date. In respect of other financial assets, the lossallowance is measured at 12 months ECL only if there is no significant deterioration in the credit risksince initial recognition of the asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting
2.16.2. Financial Liabilities:I. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof the instrument.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowingsand payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. For trade and other payables maturingwithin one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due tothe short maturity of these instruments.
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Financialliabilities carried at FVTPL are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,cancelled or expires.
2.16.3. Financial guarantees:
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to bemade to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a paymentwhen due in accordance with the terms of the debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transactioncosts that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as perimpairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the fair value initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
2.16.4. Derivative financial instruments:
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the exposure on account of fluctuation ininterest rate and foreign exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised atfair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured atfair value with the changes being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Derivatives are carriedas financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
2.16.5. Embedded derivatives:
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109, the classificationrequirements contained in Ind AS 109 are applied to the entire hybrid contract.
Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts, including financial liabilities are accounted for asseparate derivatives and recorded at fair value, if their economic characteristics and risks are not closelyrelated to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated atFVTPL.
These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statementof Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments.
Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies thecash flows.
2.16.6.Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet, ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.16.7. Derivate Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Derivative instruments such as forward currency contracts are used to hedge foreign currency risks, andare initially recognized at their fair values on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently re-measured at fair value on each reporting date. A hedge of foreign currency risk of afirm commitment is accounted for as a fair value hedge. Any gains or losses arising from changes in thefair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments.
Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities whenthe fair value is negative.
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from thefinancial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition as perInd AS 109 . A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the company'sbalance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
2.17. Taxes on Income2.17.1. Current Tax
Income-tax Assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paidto the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that areenacted or substantively enacted, by the end of reporting period.
Current Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement ofProfit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity;
2.17.2. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between the taxbases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reportingdate.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets arerecognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and anyunused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profitwill be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused taxcredits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extentthat it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of thedeferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting dateand are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow thedeferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the yearwhen the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enactedor substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred Tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement ofProfit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set offcurrent tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entityand the same taxation authority.
2.18. Earnings per share
2.18.1. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period;
2.18.2. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period areadjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.19. Cash and Cash equivalents:
2.19.1. Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet include cash at bank, cash, cheque, draft on hand anddemand deposits with an original maturity of less than three months, which are subject to an insignificantrisk of changes in value;
2.19.2. For the purpose of Statement of Cash Flows, Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, cash,cheque and draft on hand net off of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integralpart of the Company's cash management. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with aremaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible toknown amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
2.20. Cash Flows:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax is adjusted for theeffects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cashreceipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows.The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.
2.21. Dividend:
Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interimdividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.

2 Disaggregate Revenue
The table below presents disaggregated revenues of the Company from contracts with customers bygeography/ offerings/ contract-type/market . The Company believes that this disaggregation bestdepicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected byindustry, market and other economic factors.
43 Employee benefits
A Defined Contribution plans:
The company contributes to the Government managed provident and pension fund for all qualifying employees.
Contribution to provident fund of Rs. 151.76 lakhs (March 31, 2025: Rs. 140.20 lakhs) is recognised as anexpense and included in “Contribution to provident and other funds” in Statement of Profit and Loss.
B Defined benefit plans:
The Company has defined benefit plan for payment of gratuity to all qualifying employees. It is governed bythe Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under this Act, an employee who has completed five years of service isentitled to the specified benefits provided which depends on the employee's length of service and salary atretirement age. The Company's defined benefit plan is funded with Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).
There are no other post retirement benefits provided by the Company.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost,were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the definedbenefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one anotheras some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis,the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit creditmethod at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the definedbenefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis fromprior years.
Estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority,promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and salary risk.
(a) Interest risk: a decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.
(b) Salary risk: the present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to thefuture salaries of plan participants. As such, a variation in the expected rate of salary increase of theplan participants will change the plan liability.
C Other short term employee benefitsShort term leave
The expenses towards compensated absences (annual and short term leave) for the year ended March31, 2026 of Rs. 35.71 lakhs (March 31, 2025: Rs. 37.66 lakhs), which is included in the 'Employee benefitsexpense' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

47 Financial instruments
A Capital Management:
The Company manages its capital structure with a view to ensure that it will be able to continue as agoing concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt andequity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 23 & 27) andtotal equity of the Company.
The Company's management reviews the capital structure of the Company on an annual basis. As partof this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class ofcapital.
The fair value of the Financial Assets and Liabilities are included at the amount, at which instrumentcould be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced orliquidation sale.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financialinstruments based on the input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients.In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessedfor impairment collectively. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company hasno concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically andgeographically.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industrypractices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual creditloss experience and past trends.

Risk management policies andsystems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
A) Credit risk;
B) Liquidity risk; and
C) Market riskA Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrumentfails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises primarily form financial assets such as tradereceivables, investments in mutual funds, alternative investment funds, preference shares, debentures,derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.
Trade and other receivables
Customer credit is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policies,procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interestbearing and are generally on 0 to 180 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customersbased on internal rating criteria. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
Loans
The Company has given interest free unsecured loan to subsidiary, Sarlaflex Inc. The subsidiary hassuspended its manufacturing operations since December, 2017 and has a negative net worth as onMarch 31, 2026. Credit risk have been increased significantly for these loans and accordingly necessaryimpairment provisions have been made.
Other financial assets
The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investmentsin Equity Shares, preference shares, Exchangeable Traded Funds, debentures, INVIT, treasury bills,government securities, mutual funds, alternative investments funds and derivative contracts. The Grouphas diversified portfolio of investment with various number of counter-parties which have secure creditratings hence the risk is reduced. Individual risk limits are set for each counter-party based on financialposition, credit rating and past experience. Credit limits and concentration of exposures are activelymonitored by the Management of the Group.
B Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associatedwith its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Liquidity risk is managed by Company through effective fund management. The Company's principalsources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and the cash flow that is generated fromoperations. The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents, tied up borrowing lines andcash flow that is generated from operations is sufficient to meet requirements. Accordingly, liquidity riskis perceived to be low.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. Amountsdisclosed are the contractual un-discounted cash flows.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Rupee againstthe relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency riskinternally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonablypossible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the net exposure outstandingon receivables or payables in the Company at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysisincludes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translationat the period end for a 5% charge in foreign currency rate. This analysis assumes that all other variables,in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. Incases where the related foreign exchange fluctuation is capitalised to fixed assets or recognised directlyin reserves, the impact indicated below may affect the Company's income statement over the remaininglife of the related fixed assets or the remaining tenure of the borrowing respectively.
C Market risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest raterisk and price risk.
I Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. Thefunctional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Company's exposure is mainly denominated in U.S.dollars (USD). The USD exchange rate has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue tofluctuate substantially in the future. The Company has put in place a Financial Risk Management Policyto Identify the most effective and efficient ways of managing the currency risks. The Company usesderivative instruments (mainly foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate the risk of changes inforeign currency exchange rate.
II Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk due to changesin interest rates relates primarily to the Company's short-term and long term borrowings with floatinginterest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and revisits its financing strategies toachieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
The Company has given interest free loan to Subsidiaries for business purpose.
The Company's investments in term deposits (i.e., certificates of deposits) with banks, investments inpreference shares, mutual funds and debentures are at fixed interest rate and therefore do not expose theCompany to significant interest rates risk.
III Price Risk
The Company has deployed its surplus fund into various financial instruments including units of mutualfund, bond, debentures etc. The Company is exposed to price risk on such investments, which arises onaccount of interest rate, liquidity and credit quality of underlying securities.
49 Hedge Accounting
The objective of hedge accounting is to represent, in the Company's financial statements, the effect ofthe Company's use of financial instruments to manage exposures arising from particular risks that couldaffect profit or loss.
Currency risk-
The Company's risk management policy is to hedge its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect ofhighly forecasted sales. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Suchcontracts are generally designated as fair value hedges. Company's policy is to match the critical termsof the forward exchange contracts with that of the hedged item.
For derivative contracts designated as hedge, the Company documents at inception the economicrelationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, the hedge ratio, the risk managementobjective for undertaking the hedge and the methods used to assess the hedge effectiveness. The hedgingbook consists of transactions to hedge balance sheet assets or liabilities. The tenor of hedging instrumentmay be less than or equal to the tenor of underlying hedged asset or liability.
Financial contracts designated as hedges are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of IndAS 109 depending upon the type of hedge.
Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. TheCompany assesses hedge effectiveness both on prospective and retrospective basis. The prospectivehedge effectiveness test is a forward looking evaluation of whether or not the changes in the fair valueor cash flows of the hedging position are expected to be highly effective on offsetting the changes in thefair value or cash flows of the hedged position over the term of the relationship.
On the other hand, the retrospective hedge effectiveness test is a backward-looking evaluation of whetherthe changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging position have been highly effective in offsettingchanges in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged position since the date of designation of the hedge.Hedge effectiveness is assessed through the application of critical terms match method/Dollar offsetmethod. Any ineffectiveness in a hedging relationship is accounted for in the statement of profit and loss

54 During FY 2025-26
The Company incorporated Sarla Flex Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (WOS), in 2012 and had subscribedto 9,89,000 Equity Shares of USD 1 each aggregating to USD 9,89,000 (Equivalent value of investment inINR 596.50 Lakhs).
During FY 2019-20, 11, 1% Non-Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (NCRPS) of USD 1,000,000each was issued by the WOS against the outstanding loan of USD 11,000,000 due to the financial healthof the said WOS.
The WOS has suspended its manufacturing operations since December 2017 and had a negative net worthas on 31st March 2025 and 30th September 2025. Due to these circumstances the Company decided toliquidate its investment in the NCRPS.
Due to negative net worth, the WOS had insufficient assets to cover its liabilities and in the situation ofdistress, recovery was limited to residual assets after debt settlement, resulting in a significant haircut.
Owing to the above scenario, the Company intimated to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vide its letterdated 16th February 2026 about its intention to sale the NCRPS at USD 11,000 each to a foreign entity andalso to grant permission to write off the losses resulting out of this sale transaction.
Since the buyer wanted to close the transaction immediately, the Company executed the Share PurchaseAgreement on 6th March 2026 while the RBI approval was still awaited.
This sale transaction resulted into a loss amounting to Rs. 7,713.26 lakhs. The provision for impairmentcreated in earlier years aggregated to Rs. 2,280.10 lakhs.
Accordingly, after reversing the aforesaid provision, the net impact of Rs. 5,433.16 lakhs is shown as anExceptional Item in the statement of Profit and Loss for the year ending 31st March 2026.
The Company has written to its Authorized Dealer (AD Bank) to release the funds received as a resultof the sale transaction, however, as the regulatory approval is still awaited the AD Bank has withheld thecredit of sale proceeds to the Company's account.
The management believes that there is no uncertainty regarding the approvals and the receipt of theaforesaid consideration and has accordingly taken the impact in the Financial Statements.
