Foreign Currency Exchange rate Risk:
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar and Euro against the functional currencies of the Company. The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign exchange. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. It hedges a part of these risks by using derivative financial instruments . (Refer note 39(a))

Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the management.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Concentration of credit risk to any counterparty did not exceed 5% of gross monetary assets. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks by the Company on behalf of its subsidiary. The Company's maximum exposure in this respect is the maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called on (Refer Note 50(B)).

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
