s) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured
at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the
reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
interest expenses. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence
will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of
the obligation cannot be made.

B. Financial Risk Management:-
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit Risk ;
• Liquidity Risk ; and
• Market Risk
- Currency Risk
- Interest Rate Risk
- Commodity Risk
- Equity Risk
Risk Management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management
framework. The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over
the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are
approved by Board of Directors. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, borrowing strategies, and ensuring
compliance with market risk limits and policies.
The Company's Risk Management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk Management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect
changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures,
aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's Risk Management policies and procedures,
and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is
assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and
procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
i. Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investments in debt securities.
The carrying amount of following Financial Assets represents the maximum credit exposure:
Other Financial Assets
The Company maintains its Cash and Cash equivalents and Bank deposits with banks having good reputation, good past track record and
high quality credit rating and also reviews their credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.The derivatives are entered into with bank and
financial institution counter parties, which are considered to be good.
Trade Receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographicsof the
customer, including the default risk of the industry has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managedthrough credit approvals,
establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to whichthe Company grants credit terms in the
normal course of business.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine expected credit losses.
Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Impaired amounts are based on lifetime
expected losses based on the best estimate of the management. Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past
due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
The impairment loss related to several customers that have defaulted on theirpayments to the Company and are not expected to be able to
pay their outstanding balances, mainly due to economic circumstances.
ii Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its Financial Liabilities that are
settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, 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.
Exposure to Liquidity Risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted,
and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
The gross inflows/(outflows) disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted Cash Flows relating to derivative financial
liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are not usually closed out before contractual maturity. The disclosure shows net
cash flow amounts for derivatives that are net cash-settled and gross cash inflow and outflow amounts for derivatives that have simultaneous
gross cash settlement.
Excessive Risk Concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical
region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in
economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's performance to developments
affecting a particular industry.
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on the maintenance of a
diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly. Selective hedging is used within the
Group to manage risk concentrations at both the relationship and industry levels.
Financial instruments - Fair Values and Risk Management
iii Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the
Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial
instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and short term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to
foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the value of our investments. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of investing and
borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to
avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.
Currency Risk
The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk during the year ended 31 March 2026 as the Company does not have any foreign
currency denominated monetary assets or liabilities as at 31 March 2026. Accordingly, it is not exposed to foreign currency risk at the
reporting date.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not have any borrowings and is therefore not exposed to interest rate risk from debt obligations. However, it is subject to
interest rate risk on the loans it has extended to its subsidiaries and associate companies, which are linked to variable interest rates.
Exposure to Interest Rate Risk
Changes in market interest rates may impact the interest income earned from these financial assets. The Company monitors interest rate
movements and evaluates the impact on its returns. As at 31 March 2025, the total exposure to variable rate loans was Rs. 3978.96 lakhs.
Commodity Risk
The prices of agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather, governmentpolicies,
changes in global demand resulting from population growth and changes in standards of living and global productionof similar and
competitive crops. During its ordinary course of business, the value of the Company's open sales and purchases commitments and inventory
of raw material changes continuously in line with movements in the prices of the underlying commodities. To the extent that its open
sales and purchases commitments do not match at the end of each business day, the Company is subjected to price fluctuations in the
commodities market.
While the Company is exposed to fluctuations in agricultural commodities prices, its policy is to minimise its risks arising fromsuch fluctuations
by hedging its sales either through direct purchases of a similar commodity or through futures contracts onthe commodity exchanges. The
prices on the commodity exchanges are generally quoted up to twelve months forward.
In the course of hedging its sales either through direct purchases or through futures, the Company may also be exposed to theinherent risk
associated with trading activities conducted by its personnel. The Company has in place a risk management systemto manage such risk
exposure.
Equity Risk
Equity Price Risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investments in equity securities. The fair value of some of the
Company's investments in Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income securities exposes the Company to equity price risks. In general,
these securities are not held for trading purposes. These investments are subject to changes in the market price of securities. The fair value
of equity securities as of March 31,2026, was Rs. Nil [FY 2024-2025 Rs.Nil Lakh]. A Sensex standard deviation of 5% [FY 2024-2025- 5%] would
result in change in equity prices of securitiesheld as of March 31,2026 by Rs.Nil Lakh. [ FY 2024-2025 Rs.Nil Lakh]
42. Capital Management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future
development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'adjusted equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total
liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under finance leases, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted
equity comprises all components of equity.
