XXIII. Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized if, as a result of past event, the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) and on management judgement that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance cost.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible.
• A possible obligation arising from past events unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

41 Financial Risk Management
The financial assets of the company include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and bank balances that derive directly from its operations. The financial liabilities of the company, other than derivatives, include loans and borrowings, trade payables, lease liabilities and other payables, and the main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the day to day operations of the company.
The company is mainly exposed to the following risks that arise from financial instruments:
(i) Market risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Credit risk
The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks and that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company.
This note explains the risks which the company is exposed to and policies and framework adopted by the company to manage these risks:
(i) 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 prices comprise two types of risk: foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
(a) Foreign currency risk
The company imports certain Property, Plant and Equipment and material from outside India and export finished goods. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has fluctuated in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently the company is exposed to foreign currency risk and the results of the company may be affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against foreign currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises from the future probable transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than company's functional currency.
The company measures the risk through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows and manages its foreign currency risk by hedging appropriately. The company manages its foreign currency risk through the process of adjusting inward remittances in foreign currency for its payment of outward remittances (i.e. considering it as natural hedge). The Company also holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates.
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates, which are included in interest bearing loans and borrowings in these financial statements if any. All the company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company's interest bearing financial instrument is at its fair value:
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty to meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements.
The financial liabilities of the company include loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations.
The company monitors its risk of shortage of funds to meet the financial liabilities using a liquidity planning tool. The company plans to maintain sufficient cash to meet the obligations as and when falls due.
The below is the detail of contractual maturities of the financial liabilities of the company at the end of each reporting period:
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its contractual terms or obligations by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables which are typically unsecured. Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as the company generally invests in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.
The company assesses the creditworthiness of the customers internally to whom goods are sold on credit terms in the normal course of business. The credit limit of each customer is defined in accordance with this assessment
The impairment analysis is performed on client to client basis for the debtors that are past due at the end of each reporting date. The company has not considered an allowance for doubtful debts in case of Trade receivables that are past due but there has not been a significant change in the credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.
Write off policy
The financials assets are written off in case there is no reasonable expectation of recovering from the financial asset.
42 Capital Management
The capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the company. The primary objective of the company's capital management is to maintain optimum capital structure to reduce cost of capital and to maximize the shareholder value.
The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants which otherwise would permit the banks to immediately call loans and borrowings. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
Further, there have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
There were no changes in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended 31-Mar-2025 and 31-Mar-2024.
43 In accordance with the Ind AS-36 on Impairment of Assets, the Company has assessed as on the balance sheet date, whether there are any indications with regard to the impairment of any of the assets. Based on such assessment it has been ascertained that no potential loss is present and therefore, formal estimate of recoverable amount has not been made. Accordingly no impairment loss has been provided in the books of account
