i. Provisions (other than for employee benefits)
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the standalone financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Onerous contracts
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before such a provision is made, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
j. Earnings per share (‘EPS’)
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) comprise net profit after tax. The number of shares used in computing basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed to be converted as of the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date. The number of shares used for computing the diluted EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year after considering the dilutive potential equity shares.
k. Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the
Company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Chairperson and Managing Director of the Company is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and accordingly is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Company operates in one reportable business segment i.e. “Pharmaceuticals”.
l. Revenue
i. Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when a promise in a customer contract(performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over the promised goods to the customer. Control is usually transferred upon shipment, delivery to, upon receipt of goods by the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognised is based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods, excluding applicable discounts, sales returns and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as GST where applicable. Any additional amounts based on terms of agreement entered into with customers, is recognised in the period when the collectability becomes probable and a reliable measure of the same is available.
ii. Sales return allowances
The Company accounts for sales return by recording an allowance for sales return concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. The allowance is based on Company’s estimate of expected sales returns. The estimate of sales return is determined primarily by the Company’s historical experience in the markets in which the Company operates.
iii. Export incentives
Export incentives are recognised as income when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
iv. Interest income or expense
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method on time proportion method.
v. Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
m. Contract Balances
i. Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
ii. Trade receivable
A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (a) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
iii. Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
n. Leases Lessee
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings and plant and machinery.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease as per the requirement of Ind AS 116. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non¬ lease components and account for the lease and non¬ lease components as a single lease component.
The Company elected to use the following practical expedients on initial application:
• Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
• Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application.
Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the useful life of right-of- use asset. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right- of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
a. Fixed payments including in-substance fixed payments;
b. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
c. Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
d. the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in¬ substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘financial liabilities’ in the statement of financial position.
o. Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognised in statement of profit and loss or in other comprehensive income.
i. Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. Current tax for current year and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements.
Deferred tax assets 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 realised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognised as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax assets is recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary timing differences and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
p. Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
q. Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 01, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has
determined that it does not have any impact in Standalone financial statements.
(i) Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification dated 12 August 2024, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01,2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a general model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material impact on the Company’s Standalone financial statements as the Company has not entered any contracts in the nature of insurance contracts covered under Ind AS 117.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 116 Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01,2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s Standalone financial statements.

Granules India Limited - Employee Stock Option Scheme 2009 & 2017 (ESOS-2009 & ESOS-2017)
Pursuant to the decision of the shareholders at their meeting held on 25th September, 2009, the Company has formulated an Employee Stock Option Scheme 2009 to be administered by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors. This scheme has been formulated in accordance with the Securities Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999.
Under the Plan, options not exceeding 10,048,070 have been reserved to be issued to the eligible directors and employees (Employees under permanent employment of the Company and its subsidiary company(ies), including eligible Directors of the Company and its subsidiary, whether whole time or not, whether working in India or abroad or otherwise, except the Promoter Directors and Promoter group employees) with each option conferring a right upon the Optionee to apply for one equity share.
The exercise price of the options is the closing market price of the shares on that stock exchange where there is highest trading volume prior to the date of the grant i.e. the date of the Compensation & Remuneration Committee / Board meeting at which the grant of options is approved.
Under the above Scheme till date, options were granted in eight tranches. The options granted under the Plan shall start vesting in tranches after one year from the date of grant and not more than four years under Grant VIII from the respective date of grant of the options.
Pursuant to the decision of the shareholders at their meeting held on 28th September, 2017, the Company has formulated an Employee Stock Option Scheme 2017 to be administered by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors. This scheme has been formulated in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 (‘SEBI Regulations’) for the time being in force and as may be modified from time to time.
Under the Plan, options not exceeding 11,435,100 have been reserved to such person(s) who are in the permanent employment of the Company, whether working in India or out of India and to the Directors of the Company and to such other persons as may from time to time be allowed to be eligible for the benefits of the stock options under applicable laws and regulations prevailing from time to time (all such persons are hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘Eligible Employees’), except persons who are promoters or belong to the promoter group or a Director who either himself or through his relative or through any Body corporate, directly or indirectly, holds more than ten per cent of the outstanding equity shares of the company and Independent Directors, at such price or prices, in one or more tranches and on such terms and conditions, as may be fixed or determined by the Board in accordance with the ESOS 2017.
Under the above Scheme till date, options were granted in one tranche viz. Grant I. The options granted under the Plan shall start vesting in tranches after one year from the date of grant and not more than three years under Grant I from the respective date of grant of the options.
The Black-Scholes-Merton model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. In respect of exercise price of options granted, the expected term of an option (or “option life”) is estimated based on the vesting term, contractual term, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employees receiving the option. In respect of fair market value of the options granted, the option life is estimated based on the simplified method. Expected volatility of the option is based on historical volatility, of the observed market prices of the Company’s publicly traded equity shares. Dividend yield of the options is based on recent dividend activity. Risk-free interest rates are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time of the grant. These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company’s control.
33. Financial risk management
Framework
The Company is exposed primarily to Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Market risk (fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate), which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company assesses the unpredictability of the financial environment and seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analyzing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, loans, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk, except for trade receivables.
Ind AS requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company assesses at each date of statements of financial position whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. 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. Company’s exposure to customers is diversified and major customer contributes around 59% and 62% of outstanding trade receivable as of March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024. The maximum exposure to credit risk was H 12,988.14 millions and H 16,379.87 millions as of March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024 respectively, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with trade receivables, loans and other financial assets excluding derivative assets.
Before accepting any new customer, the Company uses an external/internal credit scoring system to assess the potential customer's credit quality and defines credit limits of customer. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed at periodic intervals. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix.
Credit risk on financial assets, except trade receivables is limited as the Company generally transacts with banks and financial institutions with high credit rating assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investment primarily include investment in subsidiaries whose carrying value is evaluated by the management at the end of every reporting period for impairment. As at the end of the reporting period, there are no indicators of impairment of investments.
Foreign Currency exchange rate risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets / liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in USD/EURO against the functional currencies of the Company.
Commodity rate risk
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Company’s purchases and sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the Company’s raw materials generally actuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in the Company’s active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. The cost of raw materials forms the largest portion of the Company’s operating expenses. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
Cash flow hedges Foreign currency risk:
Foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast sales in US dollar. Further, Euro denominated debt are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast sales in Euro. These forecast transactions are highly probable. The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts and loans match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange forward contracts and loans are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
• Differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments
• The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items
Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments
The Company is holding the following foreign exchange forward contracts
34. Segment reporting
A. Basis for segmentation
The operations of the Company are limited to one segment viz. Pharmaceutical products including ingredients and intermediaries. The products being sold under this segment are of similar nature and comprises of pharmaceutical products only. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the internal management reports prepared based on aggregation of financial information of the Company on a periodic basis, for the purpose of allocation of resources and evaluation of performance. Accordingly, management has identified pharmaceutical segment as the only operating segment for the Company.
B. Segment information for secondary segment reporting (by geographical segment)
The Company has reportable geographical segments based on location of its customers:
(i) Revenue from customers within India - Domestic
(ii) Revenue from customers outside India - Exports
Revenue from one external customer does not exceed 10% of Company’s total revenue from operations during the current or previous year. Revenue from subsidiaries is disclosed in note 31.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.
