p) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assetProvisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are discounted, if the effect of the time value of money is material, using pre¬ tax rates that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost. These provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Necessary provision for doubtful debts, claims, etc., are made, if realisation of money is doubtful in the judgement of the management.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events 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 that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. Contingent liabilities are disclosed separately.
Contingent assets
Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the Company discloses a brief description of the nature of the contingent assets at the end of the reporting period, and, where practicable, an estimate of their financial effect.
Contingent assets are disclosed but not recognised in the financial statements.
q) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short¬ term balances with original maturity of less than 3 months, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
r) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. Bank borrowings are generally considered to be financing activities.
s) Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for
each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares, as appropriate.
t) Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the Financial Statements and the accompanying notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III (Division II) of the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.
u) Recent Pronouncements

These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI equity investments reserve within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.
Retained earnings:
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders_
(i) Fair value hierarchy
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 Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1:
This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares
Level 2:
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over- the-counter derivatives) 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:
This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair value is determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This Level includes investment in unquoted equity shares.
There are no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year.
The company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for unlisted equity securities where the fair values have been determined based on book value per share as per the latest available financial statements.
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates.
Details of the investment property and its fair value:
Investment property disclosed is net of depreciation.
The fair values of investment properties have been determined based on the valuation report of a certified engineer.
29 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as going concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and long¬ term product and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, cash generated from operation, long term and short-term borrowings.
Financial risk Management objectives
The treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedging financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Company’s policies approved by the board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, the use of financial derivatives, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company actively manages its currency and interest rate exposures through its finance division and uses derivative instruments such as forward contracts and currency swaps, wherever required, to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of Management.
Foreign currency risk Management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company actively manages its currency rate exposures and uses natural hedging principles to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivative instruments, if any, is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management.
the Company’s capital expenditures. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 5%, which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company’s revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Company’s cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing
In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
Interest rate risk Management
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
For details of the Company’s long-term and short-term loans and borrowings, including interest rate profiles, refer to Note 12 and 15 of these financial statements.
Interest rate sensitivity analysisFixed 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.
Variable Rate Instruments
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / decreased equity and profit or loss. The company as at the Balance Sheet date doesn’t have any floating rate liability and the liability during the year is not material to the company, hence it is considered that the company is not exposed materially to the interest rate changes.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks.
Exposure to credit risk
Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, loans receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits provided by the Company. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk except loans provided to wholly owned subsidiary.
Offsetting related disclosures
Offsetting of cash and cash equivalents to borrowings as per the consortium agreement is available only to the bank in the event of a default. Company does not have the right to offset in case of the counter party’s bankruptcy, therefore, these disclosures are not required.
Liquidity risk Management
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot 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 Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit . The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.
Liquidity tables
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
