2.13 Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised if as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of 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.
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company, or a present obligation whose amount can not be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are not recognised but only disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. However, when the realisation of income
is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
P rovisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
2.14 Commitments:
P ommitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
(i) p stimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
(ii) pncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
(iii) P unding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies; and
(iv) other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management.
P ther commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.
2.15 Discontinued operations and assets held for sale:
P discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed off or is classified as held for sale and:
• represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and
• is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations.
P he results of discontinued operations are presented separately as a single amount as standalone statement of profit and loss after tax from discontinued operations in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
P ssets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense.
P he criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the
asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.
P or these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The group treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:
• The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),
• An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),
• The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
• The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and
• Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
P n impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the asset is recognised at the date of de-recognition.
P roperty, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
P ssets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Balance Sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for
sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the financial statements.
D iscontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss.
216 Statement of Cash Flows:
Dtatement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional items for the effects of:
(i) c hanges during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
(ii) c on-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and
(iii) c ll other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
D ash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit with original maturity period of three months or less and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
2.17 Earnings per share (‘EPS')
D asic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit(or loss) attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti-dilutive.
2.18 Government Grants:
D overnment grants and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants / subsidy will be received.
D rants related to depreciable assets are treated as deferred income which is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Such allocation to income is usually made over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on related assets is charged. Government Grants of revenue nature is reduced from related expenses in the statement of Profit and Loss
in the year of its receipt or when there is a reasonable assurance of its being received.
2.19 Investments in subsidiaries:
I nvestments in subsidiaries 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.
2.20 Exceptional items:
W hen items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such items is disclosed separately as Exceptional items.
2.21 Segment reporting:
A n operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions for which discrete financial information is available. The Company operates in one reportable business segment i.e. "Pharmaceuticals".
2B Key accounting estimates and judgements
D he preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Ind AS requires judgements, estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes different from the estimates. Difference between actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known or materialise. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
D anagement considers the accounting estimates and assumptions discussed below to be its critical accounting estimates and, accordingly, provide an
explanation of each below. The discussion below should also be read in conjunction with the Company's disclosure of material accounting policies which are provided in Note 2A to the standalone financial statements, ‘Material accounting policies'.
i) Judgements
a) T he Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. The Company determines the lease term as the non¬ cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
ii) Estimates
a) Estimate of current and deferred tax:
T he Company's tax charge on ordinary activities is the sum of the total current and deferred tax charges. The calculation of the Company's total tax charge necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgement in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority or, as appropriate, through a formal legal process. The final resolution of some of these items may give rise to material profits/losses and/or cash flows. The complexity of the Company's structure makes the degree of estimation and judgement more challenging. The resolution of issues is not always within the control of the Company and it is often dependent on the efficiency of the legal processes in the relevant taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Issues can, and often do, take many years to resolve. Payments in respect of tax liabilities for an accounting period result from payments on account and on the final resolution of open items. As a result there can be substantial differences between the tax charge in the Statement of Profit and Loss and tax payments. The recognition of deferred tax assets
is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law is considered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits.
b) Recognition of MAT credit:
T he credit availed under MAT is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set off against the normal tax liability. This requires significant management judgement in determining the expected availment of the credit based on business plans and future cash flows of the Company.
c) Estimation of useful life:
T he useful life used to amortise or depreciate intangible assets or property, plant and equipment respectively relates to the expected future performance of the assets acquired and management's judgement of the period over which economic benefit will be derived from the asset based on its technical expertise. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Increasing an asset's expected life or its residual value would result in a reduced depreciation charge in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology.
d) Provisions and contingent liabilities:
T he Company exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions and the exposures to contingent liabilities related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or government regulation, as well as other contingent liabilities. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will
arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Due to inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision.
e) Impairment loss in investments carried at cost:
T he Company conducts impairment reviews of investments in subsidiaries whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or tests for impairment annually. Determining whether an asset is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which requires the Company to estimate the value in use which is based on future cash flows and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value.
f) Fair value measurements and valuation processes:
W hen the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
g) Defined Benefit Plans:
T he cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual development in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
h) Liabilities towards anticipated sales return:
I n determining the provision for anticipated sales returns, estimates for probable saleable and nonsaleable returns of goods from the customers are made on scientific basis after factoring in the historical data of such returns and its trend.
i) Discount rate for Leases:
T he discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
l) Expected credit loss:
I n accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company applies ECL model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the trade receivables from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For this purpose, the Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on the trade receivable balances. The application of simplified approach requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
T s a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward¬ looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
I n respect of other financial assets (e.g.: debt securities, deposits, bank balances etc.), the Company generally invests in instruments with high credit rating and consequently low credit risk. In the unlikely event that the credit risk increases significantly from inception of investment, lifetime ECL is used for recognising impairment loss on such assets.
Notes:
1. Addition to Property, Plant and Equipment includes items aggregating 7 299.0 Million (For the year ended 31 March, 2025 7 630.2 Million) located at Research and Development Centres of the Company.
2. Aefer Note 3.26(b)(1) for contractual commitments with respect to property, plant and equipments and other intangible assets.
3. A xclusive charge by way of hypothecation over the whole of the movable properties (save and except current assets) including its movable plant and machinery, machinery spares, tools and accessories and other movable assets, both present and future subject to a maximum value of 7 2,150 Million (31 March 2025 7 2,150 Million) - situated at Daman and Sikkim in India against issuance of Stand by letter of credit required for loan of US $ 7.5 Million (31 March, 2025 - US $ 18.0 Million) advanced by Banco de Chile to Ascend Laboratories SpA, Chile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and US $ 2.0 Million (31 March 2025 - US $ 5.0 Million) advanced to PharmaNetwork SpA, Chile, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ascend Laboratories SpA, Chile.
4. The title deeds of the immovable properties are held in the name of the Company.
5. A he Company has not revalued its property, plant and equipment during the financial year ended 31 March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025.
6. A onsidering internal and external sources of information, the Company has evaluated at the end of the reporting period, whether there is any indication that any intangible asset (including intangible assets under development) may be impaired if any such indication exists. The Company has estimated the recoverable amount of the intangible assets (including intangible assets under development) based on 'value in use' method. The financial projections on the basis of which the future cash flows have been estimated consider (a) reassessment of the discount rates, (b) revisiting the growth rates factored while arriving at terminal value, and these variables have been subjected to a sensitivity analysis. The carrying amount of the intangible assets (including intangible assets under development) represent the Company's best estimate of the recoverable amounts.
Capital work-in-progress
Capital work in progress comprises expenditure in respect of various plants in the course of construction/expansion. Total
amount of Capital work in progress is 7 862.7 Million as at 31 March, 2026 (31 March, 2025: 7 458.2 Million).
Notes:
1. Secured: Loans repayable on demand from Banks include:
a. 0 verdrafts from banks ? 2,183.6 Million (31 March 2025: 2 628.8 Million) are secured against pledge of fixed deposits with the banks.
b. 0 verdraft Facilities carry a rate of interest ranging between 6.80% to 8.30% p.a., computed on a monthly basis on the actual amount utilized, and are repayable on demand.
2. 0 nsecured: Working capital loan from banks repayable on demand of ? 2,165.7 Million (31 March, 2025: ? 46.7 Million) carries an average interest rate of 5.75% (31 March, 2025: 7.18%). Further, packing credit in foreign currencies amounts to ? 1,043.1 Million (31 March, 2025: ? 3,036.9 Million) and carries an average interest rate of 4.11% (31 March, 2025: 4.72%).
The above information regarding Micro and Small Enterprises has been determined on the basis of information available with the Company basis the details provided by the enterprises.
3.28 Disclosure of Employee Benefits as per Indian Accounting Standard 19 is as under:
i) Defined contribution plans:
T he Company makes contributions towards provident fund. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of salary cost to the Government Employee Provident Fund, Government Employee Pension Fund, Employee Deposit Linked Insurance and Employee State Insurance, which are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis. Eligible employees receive the benefits from the said funds. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contribution to the said funds plan equal to a specific percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company has no obligations other than to make the specified contributions.
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss
ii) Defined benefit plan:
The Company provides for payment of gratuity to vested employees as under:
a) On Normal retirement/ early retirement/ withdrawal/resignation:
As per the provisions of Code on Social Security, 2020 with vesting period of 5 years of service.
b) On death in service:
As per the provisions of Code on Social Security, 2020 without any vesting period.
T he most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity was carried out as at 31 March, 2026 by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
T he following table sets out the status of the gratuity plan and the amounts recognised in the Company's financial statements as at 31 March, 2026:
D iscount rate: The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.
D alary Escalation Rate: The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Dttrition rate (10% to 20% for March 26 and March 25) considered is the management's estimate based on the past long-term trend of employee turnover in the Company. The tenure has been considered taking into account the past long¬ term trend of employees' average remaining service life which reflects the average estimated term of post-employment benefit obligation.
3.34 Segment Reporting
The Company has presented data relating to its segments in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, in terms of paragraph 4 of the Indian Accounting Standard 108 (IND AS-108) “Segment Reporting”, no disclosures related to segments are presented in the standalone financial statements.
3.35 Information on related party transactions as required by Indian Accounting Standard 24 (Ind AS 24) on related party disclosures.
The Company's prinicipal related parties consist of its subsidiaries and associate (Refer list below), Key Managerial Personnel ("KMP"), Close members of KMP and entities in which KMP and their Close members have significant influence ("Affiliates"). The Company's material related party transactions and outstanding balances are with related parties with whom the Company routinely enters into transactions in the ordinary course of business.
3.36 Discontinued operations
The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 10 December 2024 had approved the transfer of Generic Business Undertaking to Alkem Wellness Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a going concern, on a slump sale basis. The Company has executed a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA), effective 01 October 2025, and transferred its Generic business to Alkem Wellness Limited.
During the earlier periods, the transfer of the Generic Business had been disclosed as discontinued operations in accordance with Ind AS 105 ""Non - current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations””. The figures for the previous periods have been restated to give effect to the presentation requirement of Ind AS 105 ""Non - current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations"".
3.37 Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management
A. Accounting classification and fair values
T he Company uses the following hierarchic structure of valuation methods to determine and disclose information about the fair value of financial instruments:
Level 1: Observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities
B. Measurement of fair values
The Management assessed that cash and bank balances, trade receivables, trade payables, cash credit and other
financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value :
a) L evel 1: The fair value of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund scheme are based on market price/net asset value at the reporting date.
b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (i.e. venture capital funds) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates.
c) Level 3: The fair value of the remaining financial instrument is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rates used are based on management estimates.
Risk management framework
T he Company's Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors have established a 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.
T he 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 the 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.
T he 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
T redit 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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activites (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing/investing activities, including investments in debt securities, deposits with banks, equity securities, venture capital and mutual fund investments. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
The carrying amount of following financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure:
Trade receivables
Trade receivables consists of a large number of customers. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
T he Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references. Payment terms with customers vary depending upon the contractual terms of each contract. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed quarterly.
At 31 March 2026, the maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region was as follows:
Impairment
A s per the simplified approach, 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 adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivable are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix.
Refer note 3.8 for ageing of trade receivables that were not impaired.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
Loans to subsidiaries
A he Company has an exposure of ? 99.2 Million as at 31 March, 2026 (31 March, 2025: 2 90.7 Million) for loans given to subsidiaries. Such loans are classified as financial asset measured at amortised cost.
A he Company did not have any amounts that were past due but not impaired at 31 March 2026 or 31 March 2025. The Company has no collateral in respect of these loans.
Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents and Bank Deposits
A redit risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
I nvestments of surplus funds are made only with approved financial institutions. Investments primarily include investments in subsidiaries, mutual funds, venture capital funds, investment in equity of other companies /LLP, quoted bonds and non-convertible debentures. These mutual funds and counterparties have low credit risk.
Total non-current and current investments as at 31 March, 2026 is ? 97,854.2 Million (31 March, 2025: 2 71,235.0 Million)
Debt securities
A he Company has an exposure of ? 11,454.5 Million as at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 2 6,424.7 Million) for debt securities classified as financial asset measured at amortised cost. All the debt securities have been issued by companies registered in India in Indian Rupees.
A here has been no allowance for impairment in respect of such debt securities - financial asset measured at amortised cost till 31 March, 2026.
Credit Rating of debt securities is given below:
ii. Liquidity risk
L iquidity 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.
T he majority of the Company's trade receivables are due for maturity within 21 - 30 days from the date of billing to the customer. Further, the general credit terms for trade payables are approximately 45 - 60 days. The difference between the above mentioned credit period provides sufficient headroom to meet the short-term working capital needs for day- to-day operations of the Company. Any short-term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and other operational requirements, are retained as Cash and Investment in short term and long term deposits with banks. The said investments are made in instruments with appropriate maturities and sufficient liquidity.
Exposure to liquidity risk
T he 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.
iii. Market risk
IT arket 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 long term debt. 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 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
T he Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings, other payables, receivables and loans and advances in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company has exposure to EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, SAR, CNY, CAD, JPY, PLN, NPR, AED, CHF and THB. The Company has formulated hedging policy for monitoring its foreign currency exposure.
Other Price Risk
T he Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. At 31 March 2026, the investments in mutual funds amounts to ? 912.5 Million (31 March 2025: 7 5,017.4 Million). These are exposed to price risk. The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimise price risk arising from investments in mutual funds. A 1% increase/(decrease) in prices would increase/(decrease) the profit or loss by the amounts shown below.
Interest rate risk
I nterest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments, borrowings and loans because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments, borrowings and loans will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
T ompany's interest rate risk arises from borrowings and fixed income securities. Fixed income securities exposes the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows:
Interest rate sensitivity - fixed rate instruments
T he Company's fixed rate borrowings and fixed rate bank deposits 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.
Interest rate sensitivity - variable rate instruments
T reasonably possible change of 5% in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.
3.38 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 ‘total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity.
The Company's net debt to equity ratio was as follows.
