Carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables as at March 31,2025 and 2024, approximate the fair value due to their nature. Carrying amounts of bank deposits, earmarked balances with banks, other financial assets and other financial liabilities which are subsequently measured at amortised cost also approximate the fair value due to their nature in each of the periods presented. Fair value measurement of lease liabilities is not required.
B. Measurement of fair values
Ind AS 107, ‘Financial Instrument - Disclosure’ requires classification of the valuation method of financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, using a three level fair-value-hierarchy (which reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurements). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to un-adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to un-observable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using prevailing market interest rate curves. The three levels of the fair-value-hierarchy under Ind AS 107 are described below:
Level 1: Level 1 Heirarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are 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 are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. e.g. unlisted equity securities.
Transfers between Levels
There have been no transfers between Levels during the reporting periods
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
C. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, credit, liquidity and interest rate risks, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.The Company has exposure to the following risk arising from the financial instruments:
Ý Credit risk ;
Ý Liquidity risk ; and
Ý Market risk
i. Risk management framework
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company risk management framework. The Board of Directors is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company risk management policies.
The Company’s risk management controls 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 controls 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 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 adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
ii. 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, cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, bonds etc.
Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk consist of trade receivables, loans, investments, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. Bank deposits include an amount of ^.1000 Lakhs held with bank March 2025 (Previous Year ^.1000 Lakhs ), having high credit rating which are individually in excess of 10% or more of the Company’s total bank deposits. None of the other financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk."
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade and other receivables
Around 55% of the sales are export sales. For major part of the sales, customer credit risk is managed by requiring domestic and export customers to pay advances before transfer of ownership, therefore substantially eliminating the Company’s credit risk in this respect.
Based on prior experience and an assessment of the current economic environment, management believes that no provision is required for credit risk wherever credit is extended to customers.
Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 6 months are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour.
Concentration of credit risk
At March 2025, the carrying amount of the Company's most significant customer is ?. 8186.85 Lakhs (Previous Year : ^.7759.73 Lakhs)
Loan to others
The credit worthiness of the counter party is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good. The Company did not have any amounts that were past due but not impaired.The Company has no collateral in respect of these loans.
Investment in mutual funds and bonds
The investment in mutual funds, Government bonds are entered into with credit worthy fund houses, Government of India and financial institution respectively. The credit worthiness of these counter parties are evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company's treasury department in accordance with the company's policy. Investment of surplus funds are made in mainly in mutual funds with good returns and within approved credit ratings.
Other than trade and other receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but not impaired.
iii. Liquidity risk
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, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company’s reputation.
The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from one bank. The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.
As at 31st March, 2025, the Company had working capital of ^.19,759.66 Lakhs, including cash and cash equivalents of ^.1,973.51 Lakhs and highly marketable current investments of ^.5,385.75 Lakhs.
As at 31st March, 2024, the Company had working capital of ^.18,578.13 Lakhs, including cash and cash equivalents of ^.837.35 Lakhs and highly marketable current investments of ?. 5,505.41 Lakhs.
iv. Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates ) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
a) Currency risk
The company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase, other expenses and borrowings are denominated and the functional currency of the company. The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees (INR). The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated is USD.
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contract and cross currency forward contracts primarily to hedge foreign exchange. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purpose.
b) 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 in interest rates.
There are no variable rate instuments (Finacial assets and Financial liabilities)
Interest rate sensitivity - fixed rate instruments
The company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IND AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The following table presents the recognised financial instruments that are offset, or subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and other similar agreements but not offset, as at 31st March, 2025 and 31st March, 2024. The column ‘net amount’ shows the impact on the company’s balance sheet if all set-off rights were exercised.
Hedge accounting
As part of its risk management strategy,the company endeavors to hedge its net foreign currency exposure of highly forecasted foreign currency transactions. The company uses forward contracts to hedge its currency exposure. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
The forward contracts are generally denominated in the same currency in which the sales realization is likely to take place.
Financial contracts designated as hedges are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 109 depending upon the type of hedge.
The company offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
Significant management judgement is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income in which the relevant entity operates and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered.
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 ‘net debt’ to ‘equity’. For this purpose, net debt is defined as total debt, comprising loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and current investments.
Right Of Use Assets:
The Company has lease contracts for various item of Land & buildings in its operation. Lease of building generally have lease term between 1 to 2 years. Lease of Land generally have the lease term of 99 Years. The Companies obligation under it leases are secured by the lessor title to the lease assets.
