(xviii) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of each reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which 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 where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to Standalone financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to Standalone financial statements when economic inflow is probable.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
(xix) Financial instruments
A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset (other than financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the fair value of the financial assets. Purchase or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trade) are recognised on trade date. Loans and borrowings and payable are recognised net of directly attributable transactions costs.
Purchase or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trade) are recognised on trade date.
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial instruments of the Company are classified in the following categories: non-derivative financial assets comprising amortised cost, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), non-derivative financial liabilities at amortised cost or FVTPL and derivative financial instruments (under the category of financial assets or financial liabilities) at FVTPL.
The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
a) Non-derivative financial assets
(i) Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
(b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).
Financial assets are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate ('EIR') method, less any impairment loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost are represented by trade receivables, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets.
(ii) Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
All equity instruments are measured at fair value. Equity instruments held for trading is classified as fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value in OCI. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
I f the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividend are recognised in OCI. There is no recycling of the amount from OCI to the Standalone statement of profit and loss, even on sale of the instrument. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within the equity.
Equity Instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent
changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity instrument). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Fair value gains and losses recognized in OCI are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit and 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 FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate the financial asset, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria, as FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency.
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair values with all changes in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the financial assets is transferred, and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) and the consideration received (including any new assets obtained less any new liability assumed) shall be recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss except for debt and equity instruments carried through FVTOCI which shall be recognised in OCI.
b) Non-derivative financial liabilities
(i) Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities at amortised cost represented by trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(ii) Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value with all changes recognised
in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities only when, the obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
c) Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency assets or liabilities. Derivatives are recognised and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
(d) Reclassification of Financial Assets and Financial liabilities
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
(e) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward¬ looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI debt instruments. Except trade receivables, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the twelve- month expected credit loss unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition, in which case those are measured at life time ECL.
In case of trade receivables, the Company follows the simplified approach which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from the initial recognition of the trade receivables. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.
f) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at higher of:
• The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments and
• The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from contract with customers.
g) Foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities
• The fair value of financial assets / liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.
• For foreign currency denominated financial assets / liabilities measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.
• Changes in carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at
FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive income.
• For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
• For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss.
h) Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost less impairment, if any, in the separate financial statements.
(xx) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per credit terms of the contract. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(xxi) Income recognition - Interest Income
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is disclosed as interest income within other income. Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at FVOCI is calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as part of other income.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
(xxii) Impairment
a) Financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at the end of each reporting period, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. Lifetime ECLs are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
• All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension etc.) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument;
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss 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 forward looking estimates are analysed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income / expense in the Standalone statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head other expenses in the Standalone statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
b) Non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a non-financial asset or a Company of non-financial assets is impaired. If any such impairment exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine to the extent of impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Company's cash-generating units (CGU) or Companies of CGU's expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable Company of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or Company of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable
amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in¬ use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
(xxiii) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential Equity shares into 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.
(xxiv) Insurance claims
I nsurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
(xxv) Trade Receivables
Trade Receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the
trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance, if any.
(xxvi) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash flow statements are prepared in accordance with "Indirect Method" as explained in the Ind AS on Statement of Cash Flows (Ind AS - 7). The cash flows from operating, financing and investing activity of the Company are segregated.
(xxvii) Segment
Operating segments have been identified taking into account the nature of business, the differing risks and returns, the organisational structure and the internal reporting system.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and monitors the geographic segment of its business separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company is mainly engaged in the business of pharmaceuticals. Considering the nature of business and financial reporting of the Company, the Company has only one business segment viz; pharmaceuticals as primary reportable segment.
(xxviii) Cash dividend
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(xxix) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Standalone financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
(xxx) Current versus non-current
classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when:
• It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
• It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non¬ current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability
for at least twelve months after the reporting.
All other liabilities are classified as non¬ current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle. The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(xxxi) Exceptional Items
Exception items include income or expense that are considered to be part of ordinary activities, however, are of such significance and nature that separate disclosure enables the user of Financial Statements to understand the impact in a more meaningful manner. Exceptional items are identified by virtue of either their size or nature so as to facilitate comparison with prior periods and to assess underlying trends in the financial performance of the Company.
(xxxii) Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to 2 decimal points to the nearest millions as per the requirement of Schedule III unless otherwise stated.
(xxxiii) Events after reporting date
Where events occu rring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
’A. Use of estimates and management judgements
In application of the accounting policies, which are described in 2, the management of the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
(i) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The useful life of the assets are determined in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life is different from that or is not prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance.
(ii) Impairment
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which an asset's / investment's or cash¬ generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected discounted future cash flows from each asset or cash-generating unit.
(iii) Deferred tax
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
(iv) Fair value
Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments where active market quotes are not available. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses
estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.
(v) Post-retirement benefit plans
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions which include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at the end of each reporting period on the government bonds.
(vi) Provisions and contingencies
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources, and on
past experience and circumstances known at the reporting date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may therefore vary from the figure estimated at end of each reporting period.
(vii) Share based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Company uses black scholes model for valuation of fair value of option as per Employee Share Option Plan. The assumptions used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 49.
(vii) Shares reserved for issue under options / warrants : For details of shares reserved for issue under the Share based payment plan of the Company, please refer note 49.
(viii) As per records of the company, including its register of shareholders/ members and other declarations received from shareholders regarding beneficial interest, the above shareholding represents both legal and beneficial ownerships of shares.
(ix) 4,12 ,250 shares of ' 2 each (as at 31 March 2025: 4,12,250 shares) are reserved towards outstanding employee stock options granted / available for grant.The said shares are treated as Treasury shares.
Nature and purpose of Reserves
(a) Share suspense account
Represents equity share capital to be issued on account of amalgamation under Appendix C to Ind AS 103, 'Business Combinations of Entitles under Common Control'. (Refer Note 52)
(b) Share application money pending allotment
Represents amount received for allotment of employee stock options against which corresponding equity shares are pending for allotment as on reporting date.
(c) Capital reserve
Capital reserve on business combination represents the gains of capital nature which mainly include the excess of value of net assets acquired over consideration paid by the Company for business amalgamation transactions in earlier years. It also represents capital reserve on business combination which arises on transfer of business between entities under common control (Refer Note 52).
(d) Securities premium account
Securities premium includes the difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect of shares issued. The reserves can be utilized only for limited purposes such as issuance of bonus shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
(e) Employees stock options outstanding account
This relate to shares granted to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(f) 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. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve 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. It also includes amounts relating to stock options that have been vested but subsequently lapsed.
(g) Retained earnings
Retained earnings are the profits / (loss) that the Company has earned / incurred till date, less any transfers to general reserve and dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
(h) Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income
Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income represents the cumulative gains (net of losses) arising on revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, net of amount reclassified, if any, to retained earnings when those instruments are disposed off.
(i) Treasury reserve
Treasury reserve represents the shares of the Company held by Sequent Scientific Employee Stock Option Plan Trust.
(j) Money received against share warrants
Represents consideration towards 25% of the issuance price received for subscription of share warrants on account of amalgamation.

(i) Trade payables (other than due to micro, small and medium enterprises) are non-interest bearing and are normally settled in 30 - 120 days.
(ii) The Company's exposures to currency and liquidity risks related to trade payables is disclosed in note 54.5 and 54.4 respectively.
(iii) Refer note 48 for dues payable to related parties
(iv) The Company has entered into an agreement with financial institutions for the supply chain financing arrangement. As per the arrangement, the suppliers may elect to factor their receivable from the Company and receive the payment due from the financial institutions before the due date. As per the arrangement, the financial institutions agrees to pay amounts which Company owes to it's suppliers and the Company agrees to pay the financial institutions at a date later than suppliers are paid.
The nature and function of the liabilities remain the same even after factoring as the Company is neither legally released from its original obligation to the supplier nor the terms of the original liability are amended in a way that is considered a substantial modification. Hence, the Company has not derecognised the liabilities which are factored by the suppliers and disclosed the said amount within trade payables. Further, no additional interest has been paid to the financial institution by the Company on the amounts due to the suppliers. The payable under supply chain financing arrangement amounts to ' 119.39 million as at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: ' 19.06 million).
Apart from the above, the Company has also entered into arrangements, wherein the Company requests the financial institutions to make payments on the due date agreed with the suppliers and the Company pays to the financial institutions at the end of the extended period of payment. In this case, the Company derecognizes the liabilities towards the suppliers on the date of payment by the financial institutions to the suppliers and recognizes the amounts paid within Borrowings. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company has recognized interest expense amounting to ' 13.37 million (31 March 2025: ' 15.26 million) under the aforementioned arrangement. The payable to the financial institution amounts to ' 73.41 million as at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: ' 241.16 million) under this arrangement which has been recognized under "Short Term Borrowings" in the financial statements.

42 Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
44 Employee benefit plans
(i) Defined contribution plans:
The Company makes Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees.

Credit risk arises principally from the Company's trade receivables. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, 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 risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company has an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Market 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. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising mainly from debt. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the fair value of fixed rate borrowings and the cash flows associated with floating rate borrowings will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk on certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency; hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Considering the country and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rate in those countries. The risk is that the functional currency value of cash flows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates.
Foreign currency Risk:
