10. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETSI. Provisions
The Company recognises a provision when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reasonably estimated. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost.
II. Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬ occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
III. Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is not recognised unless it becomes virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefit will arise. When an inflow of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
IV. Onerous Contracts:
A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower expected costs of terminating the contract and the of expected cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises impairment on the assets with the contract.
11. TAXES:
The tax expenses comprise of current tax and deferred income tax charge or credit. Tax is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the Other Comprehensive
Income or in Equity. In which case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Equity respectively.
• Current Tax:
• Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments/ appeals. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
• The Company periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to matters where applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and recognises provisions, where appropriate.
• Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are set-off when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
• Deferred Tax:
• Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.
• Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
• The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
• Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
• The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
• Transaction or event which is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or in equity, is recorded in other comprehensive income or in equity along with the tax as applicable.
• Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
12. REVENUE RECOGNITION:I. Revenue from Operations:
Ind AS 115 applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers. Ind AS 115 establishes a fivestep model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgment, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. It also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract.
II. Sale of Goods:
The Company recognises revenue from sale of goods measured upon satisfaction of performance obligation which is at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to
the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. Depending on the terms of the contract, which differs from contract to contract, the goods are sold on a reasonable credit term. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, rebates, scheme allowances, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers. Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.
Delivered-Incoterms revenue deferral & goods- in-transit
For sales under 'delivered' Incoterms (e.g. DAP, DDP), control transfers on delivery at the agreed destination. Where such goods are in transit at the reporting date, the performance obligation is not yet satisfied, revenue is deferred (recognised as a contract liability) and the goods are carried in inventories as finished goods-in-transit at cost until control passes on delivery
III. Sale of Services:
Revenue from services is recognised when the performance obligation is met and the right to receive income is established.
IV. Interest Income:
For all debt instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example prepayment, extension and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
V. Dividend Income:
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
VI. Export Incentives:
Eligible export incentives are recognised in the year in which the conditions precedent are met and there is no significant uncertainty about the collectability.
VII. Other Income:
Revenue with respect to Other Operating Income and Other Income including insurance and other claims are recognised when a reasonable certainty as to its realisation exists.
13. LEASES:
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
1) As a Lessee:
The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, at its inception. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to -
• control the use of an identified asset,
• obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and
• direct the use of the identified asset
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognises a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term leases) and low-value assets. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The Right-of-Use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the Right-of-Use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of Right-of-Use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the Right-of-Use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprises fixed payments, including amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
2) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months
or less from the commencement date). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value (range different for different class of assets). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
14. BORROWING COSTS:
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period for which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes Bank Charges, exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
In determining the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation, any income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
15. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of initial transactions. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.
16. EARNINGS PER SHARE:
I. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events such as bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
II. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
17. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS:
When items of income or expense within the statement of profit & loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the Company for the period, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity to another entity. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition
A. Initial Recognition:
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction values and where such values are different from the transaction values, at fair values. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to or deducted from as the case may be, from the fair value of on initial recognition.
B. Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets:
The Company classifies financial assets, subsequently at amortised cost, Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI") or Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL") on the basis of following:
• the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and
• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
i. Financial Assets measured at
Amortised Cost:
A Financial Asset is measured at amortised Cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
ii. Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI):
A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling Financial Assets and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represents solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
iii. Financial Assets measured at Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
FVTPL is a residual category for financial assets. Any financial asset, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL
C. Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities:
i. Financial liabilities measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading or is a derivative (except for effective hedge) or are designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Gains or Losses, including any interest expense on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii. Other Financial liabilities:
Other financial liabilities (including loans and borrowings, bank overdraft and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost on initial recognition.
Interest expense (based on the effective interest method), foreign exchange gains and losses, and any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
D. Debt and Equity Instruments:
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
E. Equity Investments
All equity investments in the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
F. Investments in subsidiaries:
Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
G. De-recognition of Financial Instruments:
The Company derecognises a Financial Asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the Financial Asset expire or it transfers the Financial Asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109. In cases where Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but retains control of the financial asset, the Company continues to recognise such financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The financial asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
A Financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company’s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
H. Impairment of Financial Assets:
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. In determining the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and allowance rates used in the provision matrix. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-months expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
I. Offsetting of Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set¬ off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle them on net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis and available quoted market prices, where applicable. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realised.
Financial instruments by category are separately disclosed indicating carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
J. Cash Flow hedges
The Company defines the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also defines the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to US $. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency (').
The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the ' cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions. The Company risk management policy is to hedge forecasted foreign currency net sales for the subsequent 12 to 36 months. As per the risk management policy, appropriate foreign
currency hedges are executed or undertaken to hedge forecasted net sales.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in OCI and accumulated in other equity. If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in other equity remains there until it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in other equity are immediately reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
Where a derivative is not designated as a hedge, or where hedge effectiveness cannot be reliably established, it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Forward contracts are valued using observable forward exchange rates discounted at MIFOR (Level 2); the target-redemption forward is valued using a simulation-based option-pricing model that reflects its path-dependent strike, knock-in barrier and target-redemption features, and is classified within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy
a Due to the short nature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.
b The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. In determining the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information.
Nature and Purpose of Reserves Security Premium:
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised only for limited purposes such as issuance of bonus shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Capital Redemption Reserve :
This reserve comprises of amount on Equity share cancellation on account of Scheme of arrangement on Demerger. This reserve can be utilised in accordance with the provision of section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013
General Reserve :
Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations adjusted by utilisation of reserve in accordance with companies act in earlier years before demerger. The requirement to mandatory transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve before declaration of dividend has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.
Retained Earning :
Retained earning are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, any transfers from or to other comprehensive income, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
Employee Stock Option Plan Reserve :
The share options outstanding account is used to record the fair value of equity-settled, share-based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities premium, upon exercise of stock options, and transferred to general reserve on account of stock options not exercised by employees.
Equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Income :
The Company has opted to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the FVTOCI equity instruments reserve within equity.
The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.
Other Comprehensive Income - Cash Flow Hedge
For the forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the fair value of forward contracts are recognised in cash flow hedging reserve under other equity. Upon de-recognition, amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are taken to profit or loss at the same time as the related cash flow
notes:
1 As at 31st March, 2026, ' 45,694.35 lakhs (31st March, 2025: ' 29,129.95 Lakhs) of the total outstanding borrowings were secured by a first charge on current assets and second charge of movable fixed assets.
were secured by a first pari passu charge on the stock of raw materials, finished goods, stock in process, consumable stores and book debts of the Company. These credit facilities carry average interest rates in the range of 7.00% to 8.00% p.a. (PY: 7.00% to 8.00% p.a.).
2 The Company does not have any charges which are yet to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period except for working capital of ' 75 Crores
3 In respect of working capital borrowings from banks timely stock statements are submitted to the banks
The Company has been sanctioned working capital facilities from banks on the basis of security of current assets. The quarterly returns / statements of current assets (comprising stock and book debts) filed by the Company with the said banks are not wholly in agreement with the books of account. A summary of the reconciliation of the differences, together with the reasons therefor, is given below.
The Company did submit revised stock statements to all banks after accounts finalisation for the respective reporting periods.
(a) Stock: The differences arise from the basis on which the statements filed with the banks are compiled and comprise principally the effect of the measurement requirements applicable to inventories, adjustments to the carrying value of inventories determined on completion of the valuation exercise for the respective quarter, and the effect of revenue cut-off adjustments, consequent to which goods dispatched in the vicinity of the quarter end were considered as part of closing inventory in the books of account.
(b) Book debts: The differences arise from the basis on which the statements filed with the banks are compiled and comprise principally the effect of the measurement and classification requirements under Ind AS 115, customer advances and credit balances that are set off in the books of account, allowances for expected credit losses, and regroupings and adjustments recorded on completion of the periodic closing procedures for the respective quarter
4 The Company has not been declared as a wilful defaulter by any bank or financial institution or other lender in accordance with the guidelines on wilful defaulters issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
5 Working-capital demand loans and packing credit interest at rates fixed for the tenor of each drawdown and are classified as fixed-rate borrowing; the cash-credit facility (' 21.96 Lakhs) is benchmark-linked. The Company’s floating-rate interest exposure arises from the External Commercial Borrowing and FCNR loan, on which the interest- rate sensitivity above is computed
Term loans from banks comprise:
a A term loan of ' 100 Crores from Citibank N.A., sanctioned in two tranches - ' 70 Crores for the Atali project capex and ' 30 Crores for the solar power project capex - each with a six-year door-to-door tenor and a two-year moratorium, availed as a foreign-currency (FCNR) loan; carrying amount ' 11,488.88 Lakhs, bearing interest at the bank’s applicable rate (floating, with monthly rests); and
b An External Commercial Borrowing of US$ 12 million from Axis Bank, carrying amount ' 11,380.20 Lakhs, bearing interest at SOFR plus 1.40% per annum and repayable in 16 equal quarterly instalments of US$ 0.75 million from August 2026 to May 2030.
Both facilities are secured by a first pari-passu charge on the Company’s movable fixed assets and a second pari-passu charge on current assets.
C The Company has complied with all applicable covenants as at and for the year ended 31st March 2026.
Footnotes:
(a) Disaggregate revenue information
Refer Note 36 for disaggregated revenue information. The management determines that the segment information reported is sufficient to meet the disclosure objective with respect to disaggregation of revenue under Ind AS 115 "Revenue from contracts with customers".
(b) In case of Domestic Sales, payment terms range from 60 days to 120 days based on geography and customers. In case of Export Sales these are either against documents at sight, documents against acceptance or letters of credit - 60 days to 120 days. There is no significant financing component in any transaction with the customers.
A Post-employment benefits
(i) Provident Fund (defined contribution plan)
The Company has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan are ' 899.87 Lakhs (PY ' 695.29 Lakhs).
(ii) Retirement Gratuity (defined benefit plans)
The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees’ last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied by number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The Company maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
The Company operates a funded defined benefit gratuity plan; it is a final-salary plan with contributions made to a separately administered fund managed by LIC,
During the year, a change in the eligible salary arising from the new labour codes resulted in a plan amendment; the resulting increase in the obligation of ' 189.10 Lakhs has been recognised as past service cost as on 21st November, 2025 (measured using a discount rate of 6.94%).
DefinedbenefitplanstypicaMyexposetheCompanytoactuarialriskssuchas:InvestmentRisk,InterestRisk,Longevity Risk and Salary Risk.
(i) Investment risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to government bond yields. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
(ii) Interest risk:
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of plan’s debt investments.
(iii) Salary risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
(iv) Longevity risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
(v) Asset-liability matching risk:
The plan invests in line with Rule 101 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. Concentration risk: the plan assets are held with a single insurer, so a default would affect all assets, although this probability is low
B Details of defined benefit obligations and plan assets (Gratuity)
The amounts recognised in the balance sheet and the movements in the net defined benefit obligation over the year are as follows :
Notes:
(i) The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
(ii) The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
(iii) Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
(iv) There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
(v) The Company is expected to contribute ' 651.67 Lakhs to defined benefit plan obligations funds for the year ended 31st March, 2027.
(vi) Expected return on assets is determined by multiplying the opening fair value of the plan assets by the expected rate of return determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of expected contributions & expected settlements during the reporting period.
(vii) The Weighted Average Duration of the Plan works out to 9 years.
(viii) Asset Liability matching strategy:
The money contributed by the Company to the Gratuity fund to finance the liabilities of the plan has to be invested. The trustees of the plan have outsourced the investment management of the fund to an insurance Company. The insurance Company in turn manages these funds as per the mandate provided to them by the trustees and the asset allocation which is within the permissible limits prescribed in the insurance regulations.
Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow an asset liability matching strategy. There is no compulsion on the part of the Company to fully prefund the liability of the Plan.
(b) Corporate Social Responsibility
As per provisions of section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company has to incur at least 2% of average net profits of the preceding three financial years towards Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR").

36 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segments have been reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors, who are the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM). The board responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of operating segments. Accordingly, the reportable segment is only one segment i.e. Pharmacuticals.
(a) Revenue from Type of Product and Services
There is only one operating segment of the Company which is based on nature of product. Hence the revenue from external customers shown under geographical information is representative of revenue based on product and services.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 : Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to 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. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, listed redeemable preference shares for which sufficient observable market data was not available during the year, etc. included in level 3.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level followed is given in the table above
40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s Risk Management framework. The Board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s Risk Management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.
The Company’s financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, trade receivables and other receivables and financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade payables and other payables
The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company’s overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge foreign currency risk and interest rate risk exposure. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
A Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables and derivative financial instruments.
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Company’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity on the Company’s profit before tax, to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of variable rate borrowings on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, with all other variables held constant:
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company transacts in several currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales outside India, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company also has borrowings in foregin currency. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Company’s operations are affected as the rupee appreciates / depreciates against these currencies. Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchase of raw materials and services in the respective currencies.
As at the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities set out below, translated at the closing exchange rate of ' 94.835 per US$. Derivative financial instruments are excluded and are disclosed separately in (b) below:
Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity
The following table sets out the effect of a 0.5% increase / (decrease) in the exchange rate of each foreign currency against the Indian Rupee at the reporting date, with all other variables held constant, on profit before tax. The analysis is applied to the net recognised monetary items set out in (a) above and excludes the effect of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments
The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign-exchange exposures on underlying transactions and firm commitments and does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculation. Outstanding forward contracts hedge US$ 77 Lakhs of highly probable forecast exports (previous year: US$ 101 Lakhs).
Hedge accounting (Ind AS 107.22A-24B). The forward contracts are designated as cash-flow hedges of highly probable forecast US$ sales; an economic relationship exists (critical terms substantially match) and is assessed by the dollar-offset method with a ±5% spot shock, giving a hedge ratio of 1:1 and a prospectively effective hedge. The hedging instruments (US$ 7,700,000, maturing within one year) have a carrying value of ' (498.12) Lakhs; the effective portion is deferred in the Cash Flow Hedge Reserve (Note 15(g)) and ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss is ' Nil.
Derivative not designated as a hedge (FVTPL): the US$/' target-redemption forward with Standard Chartered Bank - notional US$ 23,287,500 (' 22,084.70 Lakhs), fair value ' (2,972.94) Lakhs, a Level 3 measurement.
The target-redemption forward is not hedge-accounted; its notional amount is disclosed in (b) above for information only. The notional is not a monetary asset or liability of the Company; the Company’s exposure arising from the instrument is reflected in its fair value, which is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Contractual maturities of the notional are US$ 58.50 Lakhs / ' 5,547.85 Lakhs within one year and US$ 174.375 Lakhs / ' 16,536.85 Lakhs between one and five years, with final settlement in March 2030
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily for trade receivables and deposits with banks and other financial assets. The Company ensures that sales of products are made to customers with appropriate creditworthiness. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored by the management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks.
Refer footnotes c and d below note no.10 for ageing of trade receivables and movement in credit loss allowance.
(C) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based limit from various banks. Furthermore, the Company has access to undrawn lines of committed borrowing/facilities. The Company consistently generates sufficient cash flows from operations or from cash and cash equivalents to meet its financial obligations including lease liabilities as and when they fall due.
(D) Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value, safeguard business continuity and support the growth of the Company.

(m) With effect from 1st April, 2025 the Company migrated its books of account from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, a Software-as-a-Service platform hosted, configured and operated by SAP SE application-level audit trail (edit log) capturing the user, date and details of each change remained operational throughout the year for all relevant transactions; a posted financial document cannot be deleted or modified for data points impacting the financial statements, the feature has not been tampered with, and it cannot be disabled by users of the Company.
As the platform is a public-cloud SaaS environment, its configuration and database are managed by the service organisation and users of the Company are not granted database- or super-user-level access. The Company has obtained an independent service auditor’s [ISAE 3402 / SOC 1] Type 2 report covering the cloud infrastructure and platform controls; this does not specifically address audit-trail maintenance at the configuration and database levels, which are, by the architecture of a public-cloud service, not independently verifiable by the Company. Reliance for these layers is placed on the service organisation and its independent assurance, supplemented by a bridge letter. The Company is obtaining an application-specific report covering audit-trail maintenance for subsequent periods.
(n) Foreign Exchange Derivative Contract
The Company had entered into a target redemption forward contract during the FY 2024-25 for hedging anticipated US$ export inflows. The contract is a zero-cost derivative with no cash payments during FY 2024-25 and was inadvertently not included in the fair value calculations made by the Company for that year. The omission was identified during the preparation of the financial statements for FY 2025-26.
Based on a valuation exercise carried out by an expert, the fair value impact as at 31st March, 2025 of ' 6.02 Crores (' 4.50 Crores net of deferred tax) was not material to the financial statements of FY 2024- 25, and comparative figures have not been restated.
Since the hedge effectiveness of the contract cannot be reliably established, the contract is measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL). The fair value impact of ' 29.73 Crores (' 22.24 Crores net of deferred tax) has been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the year ended 31st March, 2026.
(o) Exceptional Items
On 21st November, 2025, the Government of India notified the four 'Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Company has assessed gratuity liability and has disclosed the incremental impact of these changes of ' 279 Lakhs (Gratuity ' 189 Lakhs and leave salary ' 90 Lakhs) on the basis of information available, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Considering the materiality and regulatory-driven, non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact under "Exceptional item" in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2026.
Said incremental impact primarily arises due to change in wage definition. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central / State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the Labour Code and would provide appropriate accounting effect based on such developments as needed.
(p) Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors in case of a company, and, by the corresponding approving authority in case of any other entity for issue. Two types of events can be identified:
(i) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events after the reporting period); and
(ii) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non-adjusting events after the reporting period).
As on 25th May, 2026 there were no material subsequent events to be recognised or reported that are not already disclosed.
