The company has policies for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Board of Directors. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.
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.
The audit committee 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 audit 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.
I Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables), cash and cash equivalents and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and taken up on case to case basis. The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure and the credit scores of its counterparties are continuously monitored. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the management team on a regular basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions representing large number of minor receivables operating in largely independent markets.
The credit risk on cash and bank balances and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The Company maintain its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with banks having good reputation, good past track record and high quality credit rating and also reviews their credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Credit risk has always been managed by the company 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. On account of the adoption of Ind AS 109, the company uses ECL model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The company uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors and the company's experience for customers.
The company has assessed that credit risk on loans given is insignificant based on the empirical data.
The Company reviews trade receivables on periodic basis and makes provision for doubtful debts if collection is doubtful. The Company also calculates the expected credit loss (ECL) for non-collection of receivables. The Company makes additional provision if the ECL amount is higher than the provision made for doubtful debts.
The company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on provision matrix, which takes into account historical credit loss experience as well as future risks based on current macro-economic indicators and trends. The expected credit loss (ECL) allowance is based on total receivables that are due and the rate given in provisional matrix. The company has revised the loss estimates based on DPD of trade receivables in its provision matrix in the current year. This change in estimate has resulted in an increase in the impairment loss of 1 21.20 Lakhs during the year.
The provision for doubtful debts including ECL allowances for non-collection of receivables and delay in collection, on a combined basis, was Rs. 72.03 lakhs as at March, 2025 and Rs. 55.63 lakhs as at March 31, 2024. The movement in allowances for doubtful accounts comprising provision for both non-collection of receivables and delay in collection is as follows:
II Liquid Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Management regularly monitors the position of cash and cash equivalents vis-a-vis projections. Assesment of maturity profiles of financial assets and libilities including debt financing plans and maintainance of balance sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
III Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market factors. Market risk comprises three type of risks:
a) Currency Risk
b) Interest Risk
c) Price Risk
a) Currency Risk

Company is exposed to currency risk on account of payables and receivables in foreign currency. Since the average exports account only for 28.72 % of total sales this is not perceived to be a major risk. The average imports account for 26.82 % of total purchases.
iii) Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity
The sensitivity of profit and loss due to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from non derivative foreign currency denominated financial instruments (mainly financial ibstruments denominated in USD, EURO, GBP currencies). The below sensitivity does not include the impact of forward exchange contracts.
b) Interest Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company's position with regards to interest income and interest expenses 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.
According to the Company interest rate risk exposure is only for floating rate borrowings. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
c) Price Risk
As of 31st March 2025,the company has nil exposure on security price risks.
