Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example traded bonds, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates, if all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

48 FinarHial rislt management
Risk management framework
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company operations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, investments and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary risk management focus is to minimise potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures, The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the Individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monjtor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
fi) Credit risk fii> Liquidity risk (iii) Market risk ‘
4i) 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 and loans. In addition, credit risk arises from finance guarantees. Company's credit risk arises principally from the trade receivables and cash & cash equivalents. Customer credit risk is managed centrally by the company through credit approvals establishing credit limits and conti nously monitoring the credit worthiness of the customers to whom the credit is extended in the normal course of business,The concentration of credit risk is limited due the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.The company estimates the Expected Credit Losses on the basis of its evaluation of each case.Provision is being made as per the Company's expected credit loss policy in the manner mentioned belowr
Overdue for more than 1 year but not more than 2 years 5%
Overdue for more than 2 years but not more than 4 years 15%
Overdue for more then 4 year? 50%
Credit risk from balances with banks are managed in accordance with the company's policy.
Trade receivables are primarily unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and by continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit loss on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provisions at each reporting date whenever is for longer period and involves higher risk.
{•i) 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 reasonabie price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company's finance team 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 liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows, The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity, subject to its restructuring proposals, to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
In the opinion of the management, the company's cash flow from business, borrowing or financing would be sufficient to meet the cash requiments for its operation with support of its lenders as the company ability to meet its obligation and its financing is depnedent on the resolution or matter under CI8P,
Exposure to liquidity risk
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments subject tom resolution plan under CIRP
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change Jn the price of a financial instrument - The value of a financial Instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that effect market risk sensitive instruments, Market risk Is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings. The goal of market risk management is optimization of profit and controlingthe exposure to market risk within acceptable limits,
fa) Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the import of raw materials and spare parts, and exports of finished goods,
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the USD against Indian rupee at 31st March would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables,, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
(b) 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 exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates related primarily to the Company's short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
fc] Equity price risks
The Company is not exposed to equity risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for stratergic rather than trading purposes. The Company does not actively (d) Hedge accounting
Currency risk-Transactfons fn foreign currency
The Company fs exposed to transactional foreign currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies In whJch sales and interest rate exposures are denominated. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars. The Company buys and sells derivatives,, and also Incursfinancial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out as per the risk management policy of the Company.
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The Company's risk management policy is to hedge its foreign currency exposure in respect of firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transcations and interest rate risks. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank ora financial institution.
The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective ^ cash flows, The Company assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. In order to designate a derivative contract as an effective hedge, the management objectively evaluates and evidence with appropriate underlying documents of each contract whether the contract is effective in offsetting cash flow attributable to the hedged risk.
In these hedging relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:
- the effect of the counterparty and the Company's own credit risk on the fair value of the forward exchange contracts, which Is not refected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in exchange rates; and
- changes in the timing of the hedged transactions.
interest rate risk
The Company adopts a policy of hedging its certain interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate. This is achieved partly by entering Into fixed-rate instruments and partly by borrowing at a floating rate.
The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged Item based on the reference interest rates, tenors, reprising dates and maturities and the notional of hedging instruments or par amounts of hedged items.
49 Capital Management (Ind AS I)
