Provisions
Provisions are recognised when, as a result of a past event, the company has a legal or constructive obligation; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. The amount so recognised is a best estimate of the consideration required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. In an event when the time value of money is material, the provision is carried at the present value of the cash flows estimated to settle the obligation.
Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Corporate Management Committee.
Segments are organised based on business which have similar economic characteristics as well as exhibit similarities in nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, the type and class of customer and distribution methods.
Segment revenue arising from third party customers is reported on the same basis as revenue in the financial statements. Inter-segment revenue is reported on the basis of transactions which are primarily market led.
Segment results represent profits before finance charges, unallocated corporate expenses and taxes. "Unallocated Corporate Expenses" include revenue and expenses that relate to initiatives/costs attributable to the enterprise as a whole and are not attributable to segments.
Financial and Management Information Systems
The Company's accounting system is designed to comply with the relevant provisions of the companies Act, 2013, to provide financial and cost information appropriate to the businesses and facilitate Internal control.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could 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 estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
A. Judgements in applying accounting policies
The judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see note below), that the company has made in the process of applying its accounting policies and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements pertain to useful life of intangible assets. The company is required to determine whether its intangible assets have indefinite or finite life which is a subject matter of judgement. Certain trademarks have been considered of having an indefinite useful life taking into account that there are no technical, technological or commercial risks of obsolescence or limitations under contract or law. Other trademarks have been amortised over their useful economic life. Refer notes to the financial statements.
B. Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
1. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets:
As described in the significant accounting policies, the company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.
2. Fair value measurements and valuation processes:
Some of the company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where level 1 inputs are not available, the company engages third party valuers, where required, to perform the valuation. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets, liabilities and share based payments are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
3. Actuarial Valuation:
The determination of company's liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss and in other comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market. Information about such valuation is provided in notes to the financial statements.
4. Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
In respect of litigations where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management's assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.
No trade receivables are due from directors or other officers of the company or any of them either severally or jointly with any other person.

The dividend proposed by Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting, except in case of interim dividend. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the company in the same proportion as the capital paid-up on the equity shares held by them bears to the total paid-up equity share capital of the company.

C) Financial Risk Management
The Company has a system-based approach to risk management, anchored to policies and procedures and internal financial controls aimed at ensuring early identification, evaluation and management of key financial risks (such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk) that may arise as a consequence of its business operations as well as its investing and financing activities. Accordingly, the company's risk management framework has the objective of ensuring that such risks are managed within acceptable and approved risk parameters in a disciplined and consistent manner and in compliance with applicable regulation. It also seeks to drive accountability in this regard.
The activities of the company exposes it to a number of financial risks namely market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The company seeks to minimise the potential impact of unpredictability of the financial markets on its financial performance. The company does regularly monitor,
analyse and manage the risks faced by the company and to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls for mitigation of the risks.
A. Management of market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risks: interest rate risk, price risk and currency rate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings and investments instruments. The company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including currency and interest rate risks.
(i) Management of interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The company does not have any major exposure to interest rate risks since its borrowings and investments are majorly in fixed rate instruments. Investments are largely in subsidiaries and associates and are on long term basis.
(ii) Management of price risk:
The Company invests its surplus funds in deposits with banks on short term tenors on fixed interest rate and the same is not exposed to any price risk. This risk is mitigated by the company by investing the funds in various tenors depending on the liquidity needs of the company.
(iii) Management of currency risk:
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has no foreign currency transactions and is, therefore, not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
The Company is not an active investor in equity markets; it continues to hold certain investments in equity for long term value accretion which are accordingly measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The value of investments in such equity instruments as at 31st March, 2026 is ? 3,141.34 lakhs (PY - ?6,090.54 lakhs). Accordingly, fair value fluctuations arising from market volatility is recognised in other comprehensive income.
As the company is virtually debt-free and its deferred payment liabilities do not carry interest, the exposure to interest rate risk from the perspective of financial liabilities is negligible. The investment is guided by tenets of liquidity, safety and returns. This ensures that investments are only made within acceptable risk parameters after due evaluation.
Fixed deposits are held with highly rated banks and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate volatility.
B. Management of credit risk:
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligations by a counterparty to the company resulting in a financial loss to the company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (trade receivables) and from its financing activities including investments in deposits with banks.
Credit risk from trade receivables is managed through the company's policies, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management by establishing credit limits, credit approvals and monitoring creditworthiness of the customers to which the company extends credit in the normal course of business. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
Further, credit is extended in business interest.
C. Management of liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company may not be able to meet its present and future cash obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The company's objective is to maintain at all times, optimum levels of liquidity to meet its obligations. The company closely monitors its liquidity position and has a robust cash management system. The company maintains adequate
sources of financing including debt and overdraft from domestic and international banks and financial markets at optimised cost.
The Company's current assets aggregate to ? 15,026.30 lakhs (PY -? 18,489.69 lakhs) including cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of ? 80.63 lakhs (PY -? 37.88 lakhs) against an aggregate current liability of ? 105.59 lakhs (PY -? 109.23 lakhs); non-current liabilities due between one year to three years amounting to ? 45.91 lakhs (PY ? 4.78 lakhs) and non-current liability due after three years amounting to ?
