The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
3.12 Business combination
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The acquisition related cost are recognized under the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The Acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities that meet the condition for recognition are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as capital reserve provided there is clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase. In other cases, the difference is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve.
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. The only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies and tax adjustments as per the applicable statute. The difference between consideration and the carrying value is recognized as capital reserve.
The Company recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
3.13 Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured as per previous GAAP and use the carrying value as the deemed cost of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
4. CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree ofjudgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes.
- Right of Use - Assessment of Lease term (Note 2.7)
- Estimation of Defined benefit obligation (Note 2.8)
- Contingent liabilities (Note 2.9)
- Fair valuation of Derivatives (Note 2.10)
- Estimated useful life of Property, plant and equipment (Note 2.1)
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
3.11 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Code on Social Security, 2020. Every permanent employee is entitled to a benefit equivalent to fifteen days wages (as defined in the Labour Codes) based on the rate of wages last drawn by the permanent employee for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. Gratuity is payable to the employee on the termination of employment (due to superannuation, retirement or resignation, death or disablement) after having rendered continuous service for the number of years as prescribed in the Code on Social Security, 2020 at an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment.
Risk exposure to defined benefit plans
The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: asset volatility, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk as described below:
Asset volatility
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on Indian government securities; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the defined benefit obligation was carried out at March 31,2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The Company makes annual contributions to the Life Insurance Corporation of India, which is funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees.
(i) 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.
(ii) The salary escalation rate is arrived after taking into consideration the seniority, the promotion and other relevant factors, such as, demand and supply in employment market.
Sensitivity analysis method
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumption may be correlated. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years and same data, method and assumptions have been used in preparing the sensitivity analysis which are used to determine period end defined benefit obligation.
Expected contribution to the defined benefit plan for the next annual reporting period :
Contribution expected to be paid for the Plan of the Company during the year ended March 31,2027 - H653.30 lakhs. (Previous year H523.26 lakhs).
Weighted Average duration of the Plan is 12.29 years (previous year 12.59 years).
II. Assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, security deposits, trade receivables and other current financial assets, trade payables, other current financial liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Carrying value of non-current borrowings and loans are approximately same to the fair value as the borrowings are taken and loans are given at floating rates.
III. Assets and liabilities which are measured at FVPL or FVOCI
This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities measured at FVPL or FVOCI. Fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on a recurring basis. The Company has made temporary investments in bonds and mutual funds for short term business purposes, with the intent to liquidate these investments as needed for operational requirements.
Some of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
48. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company's Corporate 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 of the Company. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and equity security price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
A) Market Risk
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of price and currency risk by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The company has Risk Management Policies to mitigate the risks in commodity prices and foreign exchange. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the company's policies approved by the Board of Directors (BOD), which provide principles to use financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, to hedge currency risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
During the year, the Company has not taken any derivative contracts to hedge fluctuation in Commodity prices.
The periodical forex management report and commodity risk report as reviewed and approved by the management is placed before the Board of directors for review.
i) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company's position with regard to interest income and interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio. Majority of the Company's borrowings are linked to variability in Bank MCLR rate, repo rate and T Bills.
ii) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in multiple currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies.
a) Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing of goods, commodities and services in the respective currencies.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
i) Cash and cash equivalent (including term deposits with Banks) and investments.
The Company is having balances in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks which are nationalised and scheduled banks having high credit rating. Further, investments are made in reputed institutions/funds houses/banks and having high credit ratings. At each reporting date management assesses if there are any risk involved on account of adverse credit ratings, media events, regulator such as RBI updates on the bank etc. Considering its assessment, these balances are considered to have low credit risk of default.
ii) Loans and Guarantees to related parties
Loans and interest receivable from related parties and guarantees provided on behalf of related parties have low credit risk and the same has low credit risk as the borrower has a capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term, and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term might, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its obligations. Hence risk of default is considered to be low for these balances.
iii) Other financial assets:
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
iii) Price Risk Exposure to price risk
The Company's exposure to securities' price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the Balance Sheet at fair value. To manage its price risk arising from investments in securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
B) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
Expected credit loss on financial assets:
The Company has balances in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks, investments, loans to related parties, trade receivables, security deposit, interest receivable on loans to related parties and other financials assets.
iv) Trade receivables:
Credit Risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, credit rating analysis of major customers and analysis of historical bad-debts and ageing of trade receivables. The Company has customers with capacity to meet the obligations and do not believe that there are any particular customer or group of customers that would subject to any significant credit risks in the collection of trade receivable.
Based on management assessment, trade receivable are collectible in full considering analysis of customer credit risk. Further, the historical default rate is minimal. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instrument, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 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 on macro economic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days for which the receivables are due and the expected loss rates.
The default, if any, of export receivables are covered by Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (ECGC).
C) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of the financial assets and liabilities. As disclosed in note 26, the Company has entered into a supplier finance arrangement. This has improved the Company's working capital. The Company has no significant concentration of liquidity risk with any individual finance provider.
The amount of unused borrowing facilities (fund and non-fund based) available for future operating activities and to settle commitments is H97,286.00 lakhs as at March 31,2026 (H62,282.98 lakhs as at March 31,2025).
D) Derivative Financial instruments
The Company has adopted a Risk Management policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for managing foreign currency exposure. The policy enumerates the mechanism for Risk Identification, Risk Measurement and Risk Monitoring. The policy has approved a set of financial instruments for hedging foreign currrency risk. The Company mainly uses forward contracts to manage the foreign currency risk.
