l) Provisions, contingent liabilities,
contingent assets and commitments
A provision is recognized when the Company has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of past events and it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate
of the amount can be made, timing or amount of
the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are
recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure
required to settle the present obligation at the
reporting date. If the effect of time value of
money is material, provisions are determined
by discounting the expected future cash flows
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognized as a
finance cost.
A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a
possible but not probable obligation arising from
past events, or a present obligation that may, but
probably will not, require an outflow of resources,
or a present obligation whose amount cannot
be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do
not warrant provisions but are disclosed. In those
cases, where the outflow of economic resources
as a result of present obligations is considered
improbable or remote, no liability is recognized, or
disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are disclosed in the standalone
financial statements when an inflow of economic
benefit is probable. However, when the realization
of income is virtually certain, then the related
asset is not a contingent asset, and its recognition
is appropriate.
Any reimbursement that the Company can be
virtually certain to collect from a third party
concerning the obligation is recognized as a
separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed
the amount of the related provision.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual
expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated
amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on
capital account and not provided for.
m) Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises
the sum of deferred tax and current tax. It is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except when it relates to an item that is recognized
in OCI or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is
also recognized in OCI or directly in equity. (Refer
Note 17)
i) Current tax
Current tax is determined as the amount of tax
payable in respect of taxable income for the
year. The Company's current tax is calculated
using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period, and any adjustments to tax
payable in respect of previous years.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset
only if:
• there is a legally enforceable right to set
off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and when they relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority; and
• there is intention either to settle on a net
basis, or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of
temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the corresponding
tax bases used in the computation of taxable
income. However, deferred tax liabilities are
not recognized if they arise from the initial
recognition of goodwill. Deferred income
tax is also not accounted for if it arises from
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction other than a business combination
that at the time of the transaction affects
neither accounting profit nor taxable profit
(tax loss).
Deferred tax on temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiary is
not provided if reversal of these temporary
differences can be controlled by the Company
and it is probable that reversal will not occur in
the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
calculated, without discounting, at tax rates
that are expected to apply to their respective
period of realization, provided those rates are
enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible temporary differences (if any)
to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which
they can be used. The existence of unused tax
losses is strong evidence that future taxable
profit may not be available. Therefore, in
case of history of recent losses, the Company
recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the
extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary
difference or there is convincing other
evidence that sufficient taxable profits will
be available against which such deferred tax
asset can be realized.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
are reviewed at each reporting date and
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will
be realized.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed at each reporting date and
recognized to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to temporary
differences when they reverse, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset
is realized, or the deferred income tax liability
is settled.
Revenue is measured based on the standalone
transaction price, which is the consideration,
adjusted for volume discounts, rebates,
scheme allowances, price concessions,
incentives, returns, if any, as specified in
the contracts with the customers and any
taxes or duties collected on behalf of the
Government such as Goods and Services Tax.
If the consideration in a contract includes a
variable amount, the Company estimates the
amount of consideration to which it will be
entitled in exchange for transferring the goods
to the customer. The variable consideration
is estimated at contract inception and
constrained until it is highly probable that
a material revenue reversal in the amount
of cumulative revenue recognised will not
occur when the associated uncertainty with
the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. The estimates are on the basis of
historical experience, market assessment
and various discount programs launched in
the market. Due to the short nature of the
credit period given to customers, there is no
financing component in the contract.
Appropriate provisions are recorded for
returns and discounts/incentives which
are estimated on the basis of historical
experience, market assessment and various
discount programs launched by the Company.
ii) Rendering of services
The Company primarily earns revenue from
installation, operations and maintenance
services which is recognized over the period
when services are rendered.
Revenue from services is recognized as and
when services are rendered and there are no
unfulfilled obligations. Revenue from services
is measured at fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, after deduction of
any sort of discounts and any taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government such as
goods and services tax.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities
are recognized as a component of tax income
or expense in profit or loss, except where they
relate to items that are recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity,
in which case the related deferred tax is also
recognized in other comprehensive income or
equity, respectively.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities
are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to set off the recognized amounts and
there is an intention to settle the asset and the
liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority.
n) Revenue from contract with customers
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it
is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
The Company uses the principles laid down by
the Ind-AS 115 to determine that how much and
when revenue is recognized, what is the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues etc. In
accordance with the same, revenue is recognized
through a five-step approach:
• Identify the contract(s) with customer;
• Identify separate performance obligations in
the contract;
• Determine the transaction price;
• Allocate the transaction price to the
performance obligations; and
• Recognize revenue when a performance
obligation is satisfied.
The Company uses the principles laid down by Ind-
AS as above to recognize revenue from contracts
with customers when it satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring promised goods or
services to a customer. Revenue is recognized to
the extent of transaction price allocated to the
performance obligation satisfied. Performance
obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer
of control of assets (goods or services) to a
customer is done over time and in other cases,
performance obligations are satisfied at a point
in time. For performance obligation satisfied
over time, the revenue recognition is done by
measuring the progress towards complete
satisfaction of performance obligation and the
progress is measured in terms of a proportion of
actual cost incurred to date, to the total estimated
cost attributable to the performance obligation.
Revenue excludes goods and services tax which is
recorded separately.
Revenues are measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, net of
discounts and other indirect taxes.
In Cost Plus Contracts - Revenue is recognized by
including eligible contractual items of expenditures
plus proportionate margin as per contract.
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress
toward completion are revised if circumstances
change. Any resulting increases or decreases in
estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit
or loss in the period in which the circumstances
that give rise to the revision become known
by management.
i) Sale of Goods
The Company recognizes revenue from the
sale of goods measured upon satisfaction of
performance obligation which is at a point in
time when control of the goods is transferred
to the customer, generally on delivery of
the goods.
The Company considers, whether there are
other promises in the contract in which there
are separate performance obligations, to
which a portion of the transaction price
needs to be allocated. In determining the
transaction price for the sale of goods,
the Company allocates a portion of the
transaction price to different performance
obligations goods bases on its relative
standalone prices.
o) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs
that the Company incurred in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition and/or
construction of a qualifying asset, till the time such
qualifying asset becomes ready for its intended
use, are capitalized. A qualifying asset is one that
necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready
for its intended use.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis as
per the EIR method.
p) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
the net profit for the period attributable to
the equity shareholders of the Company (after
deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the year and
for all the years presented, is adjusted for events,
such as bonus shares, other than the conversion
of potential equity shares, that have changed the
number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per
share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable
to equity shareholders and the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year is
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
q) Segment accounting
The segment reporting of the Company has
been prepared in accordance with Ind-AS-108,
“Operating Segment” (specified under the section
133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act) read with
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule
2015 (as amended from time to time) and other
relevant provision of the Act).
The Operating Segment is the level at which
discrete financial information is available and
for which the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(‘CODM') monitors the operating results of its
business segments separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment. Segment performance is
evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured
consistently with profit or loss in the standalone
financial statements.
Revenue and expenses have been identified to a
segment on the basis of relationship to operating
activities of the segment. Revenue, expenses
and exceptional items which relate to enterprise
as a whole and are not allocable to a segment
on reasonable basis have been disclosed as
“unallocable”.
Segment assets and segment liabilities represent
assets and liabilities in respective segments.
Investments, tax related assets, borrowings
and other assets and liabilities that cannot be
allocated to a segment on reasonable basis have
been disclosed as “unallocable”.
Segment revenue resulting from transactions with
other business segments is accounted on the basis
of transfer price agreed between the segments.
Such transfer prices are either determined to yield
a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.
r) Exceptional Items
An item of income or expense which by its size,
nature or incidence requires disclosure in order to
improve an understanding of the performance of
the Company is treated as an exceptional item and
the same is disclosed in standalone statement of
profit and loss and in the notes forming part of the
standalone financial statements.
s) Dividend distributions
The Company recognizes a liability to make the
payment of dividend to owners of equity, 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 authorized
when it is approved by the shareholders. A
corresponding amount is recognised directly
in equity.
t) Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies
new standards or amendments to the existing
standards year ended 31st March, 2026, MCA has
notified following Amendment to Ind AS, applicable

3. The Company has recognised an impairment of I 683.13 crores on its investment in material subsidiary
Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances Limited (“Butterfly”). The impairment is based on a valuation
performed by an independent valuer and has been recognised in accordance with Ind AS 36 -
Impairment of Assets.
The recoverable amount is based on a value-in-use calculation using the discounted cash flow method.
The value-in-use calculation is made using exit multiple and pre-tax budgeted EBITDA projections of the
next five years which is considered by the Board as a reasonable period. Key assumptions for the value in
use computations are those regarding the discount rates, exit multiple, market demand, sales volume and
sales prices, cost to produce, margins etc. The projections are based on both past performance and the
expectations of future performance and assumptions therein. The Company estimates discount rates using
post-tax rates that reflect the current market rate adjusted for specific company risk. The weighted average
post-tax discount rates used for discounting the cash flows projections is 13.75% and average revenue growth
considered is 15.70%, which is aligned to the average growth rate for the industry.
Following the impairment loss recognised, the recoverable amount was equal to the carrying amount.
Accordingly, the valuation remains sensitive to changes in key assumptions.
Notes:
(a) The net carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
(b) Book debts are hypothecated with the bankers against Working capital demand loan.(Refer Note 12)
(c) Refer Note 37 for information about the Company's exposure to financial risks, and details of impairment

(a) Provision for employee benefits represents liability on account of compensated absences and
gratuity as per statutory requirements.
(b) Product warranties: The Company gives warranties on certain products and services, undertaking
to repair/replace products, which fail to perform satisfactorily during the warranty period. Provision
made represents the amount of the expected cost of meeting such obligation on account of repair/
replacement. The timing of outflows is expected to be within a period of two to five years.
(c) Provision for statutory dues represents liability on account of non-collection of declaration forms
and other legal matters which are in appeal under the Acts/Rules.
(d) Provision for other litigation obligation claims represents liabilities that are expected to materialise
in respect of matters in appeal.

(a) Pursuant to the notification issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, twenty-nine existing
labour regulations have been consolidated into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes,
collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes' which became effective from 21st November, 2025.
The Company has reassessed its employee benefit obligations in accordance with the New Labour Codes
and accordingly, an incremental liability of I 18.45 crores has been recognized as an Exceptional Item. As
the rules to the New Labour Codes are yet to be notified, the differential impact, if any, of those will be
accounted in the period in which they are notified.
(b) The Company recognised I 20.36 crores towards restructuring of Vadodara plant operations from a
lighting facility into a multi-business facility as an Exceptional Item.
(c) The Company recognised an impairment charge of I 716.04 crores on its investment in material subsidiary

30th March 2022. The impairment is based on a valuation performed by an independent valuer and has
been recognised in accordance with Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets.
Notes:
(a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts represent various claims made by third parties
in respect of contractual obligations, commercial disputes and other matters. The management, based
on legal advice, does not consider these claims as valid liabilities and has therefore not recognized any
provision in the standalone financial statements.
(b) The Company has received demands from the income tax authorities pertaining to various assessment
years, which have been disputed and are currently pending before appellate authorities. Based on the
assessment of the facts of the case and advice received from tax consultants, the management believes
that it has adequate grounds to contest these demands. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized
and the same has been disclosed as a contingent liability.
(c) This represents indirect tax demands raised by the respective authorities relating to excise duty, customs
duty and service tax, primarily pertaining to periods prior to the implementation of GST. These matters
are under dispute and pending at various appellate forums. The Company has contested these demands
and based on legal advice, expects a favorable outcome. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized
and the same has been disclosed as a contingent liability.
(d) The Company has disputed various demands raised by tax authorities in respect of GST as well as pre-
GST levies such as entry tax, sales tax and VAT. These cases are pending before appropriate appellate
authorities. The management, based on its evaluation and legal advice, believes that the likelihood of an
outflow is not probable. Therefore, these liabilities have not been recognized in the books of account and
are disclosed as contingent liabilities.
(e) The Company had issued corporate and bank guarantees in earlier years on behalf of its subsidiary to
the consortium bankers in respect of working capital facility. The corporate guarantee provided to the
consortium bankers has been returned by the lenders and ceased to be in effect as of 31st March, 2026.
(f) As per E-waste (Management) Rules, 2022, as amended, the Company has an obligation to complete the
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets. The Company has fulfilled its obligation for the current
and previous financial year . Further, Central Pollution Control Board of India has notified higher floor
prices for exchange of EPR certificates, which has been legally challenged before the Delhi High Court by
several producers in similar businesses. Since the matter is sub judice, the liability arising from difference
between the floor prices notified by the Board and the rates prevailing/charged in the market is disclosed
as a contingent liability in the standalone financial statements.
(g) It is not practicable to estimate the timing of cash outflows, if any, in respect of matters at (a) to (f)
above, pending resolution of the arbitration/appellate proceedings.
(h) The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
(i) Capital commitments represent the estimated value of contracts entered by the Company for
acquisition of property, plant and equipment and other capital assets, which remain to be executed
as at the balance sheet date. These obligations are contractual in nature and are not recognized as
liabilities since the related assets have not yet been received or the services have not yet been rendered.
Accordingly, these are disclosed as commitments and indicate future cash outflows.
(c) The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective
assumptions occurring at the end of the year and may not be representative of the actual change. It is
based on a change in the key assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. When calculating the
sensitivity to the assumption, the same method used to calculate the liability recognised in the balance sheet
has been applied. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not
change compared with the previous year.
(d) The Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Trust, which manages the investment. The Trust is a
funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Scheme provides for lump sum payment to vested
employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment as per the Company's
Gratuity Scheme. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service.
(e) The actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out
at 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025. 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.
(f) 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.
(g) Expected rate of return on the plan assets is based on the average long-term rate of return expected on
investments of the Fund during the estimated term of the obligations.
(h) The salary escalation rate considered in the actuarial valuation is arrived after taking into consideration the
seniority, the promotion, inflation and other relevant factors.
(i) The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 7.61 years
(Previous year 7.16 years)
Compensated absences
In respect of compensated absences, accrual is made on the basis of a year-end actuarial valuation as at
balance sheet date. The actuarial valuation is done as per Projected unit credit method.
The leave obligation cover the Company's liability for earned leave. The amount of the provision of I 1.46 crore
(Previous year I 17.15 crore) is presented as non-current and I 19.71 (Previous year I 2.87 crore) is presented
as current. The Company has recognised I 4.95 (Previous year I 5.66 crore) for compensated absences in the

length basis. Outstanding balances at the year-end with related parties are unsecured and interest free, and
will be settled/recovered in cash.
The Company has not made any allowance for bad or doubtful debts in respect of related party trade
receivables nor has any guarantee been given or received during the year ended 31st March 2026 and 31st
March 2025 relating to related party transactions.
33 Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders 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 equity holders 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.
The key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations are as follows:
a) Earnings (before interest and tax) margin: The margins have been estimated based on past experience
after considering incremental revenue and savings from the efficiencies and cost saving initiatives driven
by the Company.
b) Discount rate: Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a cash
generating unit and is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital.
c) Long-term growth rate: The growth rates used are in line with the long-term average growth rates of the
Company and are consistent with the internal/external sources of information.
The assumptions used are reviewed annually as part of management's budgeting and strategic planning
cycles. These estimates may differ from actual results. The values assigned to each of the key assumptions
reflect the Management's past experience as their assessment of future trends, and are consistent with
external/internal sources of information.
Based on the above assumptions and analysis, no impairment was identified for any of the cash generating
unit as at 31st March 2026 and 31st March, 2025 as the recoverable value of the cash generating unit exceeded the
carrying value.
The Company has also performed sensitivity analysis calculations on the projections used (revenue growth
and EBITDA margin) and discount rate applied. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation to a change
in key parameters (operating margin, discount rates and average growth rate), based on reasonable
assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the cash generating
units would decrease below its carrying amount.
35 Share-based Payments
Employee stock options - equity settled
(a) The Members of the Company have approved by way of postal ballots grant of Employee stock options under
various Schemes. The plan envisaged grant of shares to eligible employees at market price/pre-determined
value as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) of the Board of Directors from
time to time.
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other current
financial assets and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.
B. Fair value heirarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above have been classified into three
categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
• Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active market;
• Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
• Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data.
The RMC 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 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.
C. Measurement of fair values
Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values,
as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
i. Credit risk
Credit 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, and arises principally from the Company's
receivables from customers, investment in mutual funds and cash and cash equivalents.The Company
makes provision on trade receivables based on Expected Credit loss (ECL) method based on
provision matrix.
The carrying value of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit
risk was I 3,126.30 crores and I 3,197.74, as at 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025 respectively, being the
total carrying value of trade receivables, investments and other financial assets.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously
monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal
course of business. The Company has a detailed review mechanism of overdue trade receivables at
various levels in the organisation to ensure proper attention and focus on realisation.
D. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk;
• Liquidity risk; and
• Market risk
Risk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the
Company's risk management framework. The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee
(RMC) for identification, evaluation and mitigation of operations, strategic and external risks. RMC has the
overall responsibility for monitoring and recovering the Risk Management Plan and associated practices of
the Company.
The 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 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.
Expected credit loss assessment
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to
determine incurred and expected credit losses. Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that
are past due are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of
customer credit risk
Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with banks and financial institutions.
The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an
on-going basis and is considered to be good. Investment of surplus funds are made in bank deposits and
other risk free securities.
Derivatives
The derivatives (forwards and options for foreign currency payments) are entered into with banks and
financial institution counterparties with good credit ratings.
Investment in mutual funds
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing only with counterparties that have a good
credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non performance by these counter parties
Other than trade receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but
not impaired.
ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become
due at reasonable price. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, 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 risk to the Company's reputation.
The Company monitors cash flow requirements and aims at optimising its cash return on investments and
to maintain the level of its cash and bank balance and other highly marketable mutual fund investments
at an amount in excess of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities.
iii. Market risk
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.
Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency
receivables and payables. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange
rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of investments. Thus, Company's exposure to market risk is
a function of investing 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.
Market risk comprises three types of risks: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
a) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its receivable and payables in foreign currency.
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward foreign exchange
contracts and options foreign exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, with a maturity of less than
one year from the reporting date.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Following is the derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk:
b) Interest rate risk
Interest 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 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 will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to Interest Rate Risk/Sensitivity
Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company's interest¬
bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Company is as follows.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening/(weakening) of the Indian Rupee against foreign currencies at
reporting date would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign
currencies and affected profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all
other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales
and purchases.
c) Other price risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the other price risk due to its investment in mutual funds (AAA rated
and debt instruments). The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these
investments. At 31st March, 2026, the investments in mutual funds amounts to I 670.52 Crores (31st March,
2025: I 455.66 Crores). 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 equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below.
41 Capital Management
Equity share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company's capital management. The
Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize
returns to shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management's judgement of its
strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market
confidence. The management and the Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level
of dividends to shareholders. The Company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary
adjust, its capital structure.
The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with
higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ‘adjusted 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 and other bank balances. Total equity comprises all components of equity.
The Company's adjusted net debt-to-equity ratio at 31st March, 2026 was as follows:
42 There has been no delay in charges or satisfaction to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period.
43 The Company does not have any transactions not recorded in the books of accounts that has been
surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in tax assessments under the Income-tax Act, 1961.
44 The Company has not traded or invested in crypto currency or virtual currency during the current and
previous year.

to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any
interest-bearing loans and borrowing during the current and previous year.
