(xi) Provisions (other than employee benefits)
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 the obligation.Provisions are determined by discounting the expected futurecash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation at the balance sheetdate) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
Decommissioning liability
Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value ofexpected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cashflows and are recognised as part of the cost of the particularasset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax ratethat reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability.The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred andrecognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost.The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewedannually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimatedfuture costs or in the discount rate applied are added to ordeducted from the cost of the asset.
Contingencies
Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to claims,litigation, assessment, fines, penalties, etc. are recognized whenit is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amountcan be estimated reliably.
(xii) Operating segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entitywhere discrete financial information is evaluated regularlyby the chief operating decision market ("CODM”) in decidingallocation of resources and in assessing performance. TheBoard of Director's is its CODM. The Company's CODM reviewsfinancial information presented on a consolidated basis for thepurposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources,and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Companyhas determined that it operates in one operating and reportablesegment.
(xiii) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit are measured on an undiscountedbasis and are expensed as the related service is provided. Aliability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g.under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a presentlegal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a resultof past service provided by the employee and the amount ofobligation can be estimated reliably.
Share-based payment arrangements
The grant date fair value of equity settled share- based paymentawards granted to employees is generally recognised as anemployee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, overthe vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as anexpense is based on the estimate of the number of awards forwhich the related service and non-market vesting conditions areexpected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognisedas an expense is based on the number of awards that do meetthe related service and non-market conditions at the vestingdate. For share-based payment awards with non-vestingconditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based paymentis measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-upfor differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefitplan under which an entity pays specified contributions toa separate entity and has no obligation to pay any furtheramounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributionstowards Government administered provident fund scheme.The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense inthe Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which theemployee renders the related service.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extentthat a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan otherthan a defined contribution plan. The Company's gratuity benefitscheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligationin respect of a defined benefit plan is calculated by estimatingthe amount of future benefit that employees have earned inreturn for their service in the current and prior periods; thatbenefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fairvalue of plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation underthe defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on netbasis. The calculation of the Company's obligation is performedannually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit creditmethod.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, whichcomprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets(excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Companydetermines the net interest expense (income) on the net definedbenefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discountrate, determined by reference to market yields at the end of thereporting period on government bonds, used to measure thedefined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period tothe then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into accountany changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during theperiod as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Netinterest expense and other expenses related to defined benefitplans are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan iscurtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to pastservice ('past service cost' or 'past service gain') or the gain orloss on curtailment is recognised immediately in statement ofprofit and loss. The Company recognises gains and losses onthe settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlementoccurs.
Other long-term employee benefits - compensatedabsences
Accumulated absences expected to be carried forward beyondtwelve months is treated as long-term employee benefit formeasurement purposes. The Company's net obligation inrespect of other long-term employee benefit of accumulatingcompensated absences is the amount of future benefit that
employees have accumulated at the end of the year. That benefitis discounted to determine its present value. The obligation ismeasured annually by a qualified actuary using the projectedunit credit method. Remeasurements are recognised instatement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in thebalance sheet if the Company does not have an unconditionalright to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after thereporting date.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when theCompany can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefitsand when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. Ifbenefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 monthsof the reporting date, then they are discounted.
(xiv) Income taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognisedin statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relatesto a business combination, or an item recognised directly inequity or in Other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable onthe taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment tothe tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. Theamount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimateof the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflectsuncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured usingtax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only ifthere is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognisedamounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle theliability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differencesbetween the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities forfinancial reporting purposes and the corresponding amountsused for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised inrespect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferredtax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition ofassets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a businesscombination and affects neither accounting nor taxableprofit or loss at the time of the transaction;
- taxable temporary differences arising on the initialrecognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is recognized based on the expected manner ofrealization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets andliabilities using tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted at thereporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that isprobable that future taxable profits will be available againstwhich the assets can be utilized. Deferred tax assets arereviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extentthat it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits willbe realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legallyenforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, andthey relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority onthe same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but theyintend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basisor their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
(xv) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit(or loss) for the year attributable to the equity shareholdersby the weighted average number of equity shares outstandingduring the year. The weighted average numbers of equityshares outstanding during the year are adjusted for events suchas bonus issue and share split.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit(considered in determination of basic earnings per share) afterconsidering the effect of interest and other financing costsor income (net of attributable taxes) associated with dilutivepotential equity shares by the weighted average number ofequity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per shareadjusted for the weighted average number of equity shares thatwould have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potentialequity shares.
(xvi) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cashat banks and on hand and short term deposits with 'originalmaturities' of three months or less, which are subject to aninsignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cashequivalents consist of cash as defined above, net of outstandingbank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of theCompany's cash management.
(xvii) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, wherebyprofit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions ofa non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or futureoperating cash receipts or payments and item of income orexpense associated with investing or financing cash flows. Thecash flows from operating, investing and financing activities ofthe Company are segregated.
(xviii) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises frompast events and whose existence will be confirmed only bythe occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the Companyor a present obligation that arises from past events but is
not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation or the amount of the obligation can notbe measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does notrecognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in thefinancial statements.
Contingent Assets
Contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statementssince this may result in the recognition of income that maynever be realised. However, when the realisation of income isvirtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent assetand is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets arereviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
(xix) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared,being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretionof the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but notdistributed at the end of the reporting period. The final dividendon shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approvalby the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded asa liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board

The company participates in a supplier finance arrangement under which its suppliers may elect to receive early payment oftheir invoices from a bank. Under the arrangement, the bank agrees to pay amounts due to participating suppliers in respectof invoices owed by the company and the company repays the bank at a later date. The principal purpose of this arrangementis to facilitate efficient payment processing and provide the willing suppliers early payment terms, compared with the relatedinvoice payment due date. The company has not derecognised the original trade payables relating to the arrangement becauseneither a legal release was obtained nor was the original liability substantially modified on entering into the arrangement.
From the company's perspective, the arrangement does not significantly extend payment terms beyond the normal terms agreedwith other suppliers that are not participating; however, the arrangement does provide participating suppliers with the benefitof early payment. Additionally, the company does not incur any additional interest towards the bank on the amounts due to thesuppliers. The company therefore includes the amounts subject to the arrangement within trade payables because the nature andfunction of these payables remains the same as those of other trade payables. All payables under the arrangement are classified ascurrent as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.

44. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
I. Fair Value Hierarchy and MeasurementsAccounting classifications and fair values
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorised within the fair valuehierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds, bonds anddebentures that have quoted price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques whichmaximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs requiredto fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
(a) The Company's borrowings have fair values thatapproximate to their carrying amounts as they are basedon the net present value of the anticipated future cashflows using rates currently available for debts on similarterms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
(b) The carrying amount of loans, trade receivables, cashand cash equivalents, bank balances other than thoseincluded in cash and cash equivalents, other currentfinancial assets, trade payable and other current financialliabilities approximates the fair values, due to their shortterm nature.
(c) The carrying value of non-current financial assets andOther non-current financial liabilities approximate thefair values as on the reporting date, as these are carriedat amortised cost and are based on the net present valueof the anticipated future cash flows using applicablediscount rate.
(d) The carrying value of lease liabilities approximates thefair values as on the reporting date, as these are carriedat amortised cost and are based on the net present valueof the anticipated future cash flows using applicablediscount rate.
There are no transfer between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3during the year ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.
II. Financial risk management
Risk Management Framework
The Company's Board of directors has overall responsibilityfor the establishment and oversight of the Company's riskmanagement framework and also responsible for developingand monitoring the Company's risk management policy.
The Company's risk management policies are establishedto identify and analyse the risk faced by the Company, to setappropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks andadherence to limits. Risk management policies and systemsare reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditionsand the Company's activities. The Company, through its trainingand management standards and procedures, aims to maintaina disciplined and constructive control environment in which allemployees understand their roles and obligations. The Boardof directors with top management oversee the formulation andimplementation of the risk management framework. The risksare identified at business unit level and mitigation plans areidentified, deliberated and reviewed at appropriate forums.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising fromfinancial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk
i. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if acustomer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meetits contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to theCompany. Credit risk arises principally from trade receivables,loans, advances, cash and cash equivalents and deposits withbanks. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent themaximum credit risk exposure.
Cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks
Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are held with bankswhich have high credit rating. The Company considers that itscash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on theexternal credit ratings of the counterparties.
Security deposits
The Company has furnished security deposits to its lessors forobtaining the premises on lease. The Company considers that itsdeposits have low credit risk or negligible risk of default as theparties are well established entities and have strong capacity tomeet the obligations. Also, where Company expects that there isan uncertainty in the recovery of deposit, it provides for suitableimpairment on the same.
Trade receivables
The Company exposure to credit risk is influenced mainlyby the individual characteristics of each customer. However,management also considers the factors that may influence thecredit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of theindustry and country in which customers operate.
The management has established a credit policy under whicheach new customer is analysed individually for creditworthinessbefore the standard payments and delivery terms and conditionsare offered. The average credit period provided to customersvaries from 0 to 90 days. For new customers, in addition tofeedback from retail traders, they start doing the business withCompany on advance payment terms. Post a business for 3months and a successful payment track record, the customersare then converted to business with standard credit terms.
During the year, trade receivable with a contractual amount of Rs. 8.73 crore were written off (31 March 2025: Rs. 5.43 crore) andthe Company does not expect to receive future cash flows or recoveries from collection of receivables previously written off. TheCompany's management also pursues all legal options for recovery of dues, wherever necessary, based on its internal assessment.
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on aprovision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as per Company's policy.
For trade receivables balance from related parties, there are no indications at the period/year end for default in payments. Accordingly,the Company does not anticipate risk of recovery and expected credit loss in respect thereof.
ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilitiesthat are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far aspossible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions,without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the cash flow generated fromoperations to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses,Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cashand cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits setby the Company. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies andconsidering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and externalregulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
As described in Note 24, the company also participates in a supplier finance arrangement with the principal purpose of facilitatingefficient payment processing of supplier invoices and providing the willing suppliers early payment terms compared with the relatedinvoice payment due date. The arrangement allows the company to centralise payments of trade payables to the bank rather thanpaying each supplier individually.
iii. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such asforeign exchange rates will affect the Company's income or thevalue of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective ofmarket risk management is to manage and control market riskexposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising thereturn.
The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety ofmarket risks, namely:
• Currency risk;
• Commodity risk.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extentthat there is a mismatch between the currencies in which salesand purchases are denominated and the functional currencyof the Company, hence exposure to exchange rate fluctuations
arises. The risk is that the functional currency value of cashflows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates. Thefunctional currency of the Company is Rs. and the currency inwhich these transactions are primarily denominated is USDand CNY.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extentthat there is a mismatch between the currencies in which salesand purchases are denominated and the functional currencyof the Company, hence exposure to exchange rate fluctuationsarises. The risk is that the functional currency value of cashflows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates. Thefunctional currency of the Company is Rs..
The Company manages foreign currency risk by hedging itstransactions using foreign currency forward contracts. Theforeign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cashflow hedges, and are entered into for periods consistent withforeign currency exposure of the underlying transactions.
Commodity Risk
Exposure of the Company to Commodity and Commodity Risks faced by the Company throughout the year.
Commodities form a major part of the raw materials required for Company's products portfolio and hence commodity price risk is oneof the important market risk for the Company. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in commodity prices in relation to itspurchase of raw materials. The Company's price arrangements with its suppliers are typically linked to the spot prices of such rawmaterials, and any increase in the spot prices may result in an increase in the price of such raw materials procured from its suppliers.
The Company has adequate risk assessment and minimization system in place including for Commodities. The risk is hedged throughadditional and strategic buying from time to time. Further, the Company typically pass on some portion of the change in the rawmaterial price to the customers.
Purchases sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible change of 1% in prices of purchases during the year, would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit orloss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant:
Interest rate risk
Currently the Company's borrowings are within acceptable risk levels, as determined by the management, hence the Company hasnot taken any swaps to hedge the 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 rates. The Company's exposure to the risk changes in market interest relates primarily to the Company's long termdebt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company is carrying its borrowings primarily at variable rate.
45. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all otherequity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital managementis to maximise the shareholder value. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to ordinaryshareholders.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirementsof the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders,return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt dividedby equity. Net debt is calculated as total liabilities (as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents and other bankbalances. The Company's net debt to equity ratio i.e. capital gearing ratio is as follows:
46. SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment information is presented in respect of the Company's key operating segments. The operating segments are based on theCompany's management and internal reporting structure.
Operating segments
