1.3.15 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation resulting from past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation for which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are based on management’s best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect revision in estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
1.3.16 Exceptional Items
Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statement.
1.3.17 Non-current assets held for sale/ distribution to owners and discontinued operations
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal of group of assets as held for sale/ distribution to owners if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale/ distribution rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale/ distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale/ distribution will be made or that the decision to sell/ distribute will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale/distribution expected within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets held for sale/for distribution to owners and disposal of group of assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell/ distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale/distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale/ distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.
A disposal of group of assets qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
• Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
• Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations
Or
• Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss.
1.3.18 Financial Instrument
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assetsA) Initial recognition and measurement
On initial recognition, financial assets are recognised at fair value except trade receivables which are recognized at transaction price as they do not contain a significant financing
component. In case of financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value or as financial assets measured at amortised cost.
B) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the below categories:
a) Financial Assets measured at Amortised Cost (AC)
A Financial Asset is measured at Amortised Cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise to cash flows on specified dates that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method
b) Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling Financial Assets and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represents solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
C) Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A Financial asset is measured at fair value through profit and loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition, if the Company changes its business model for managing those financial assets. Changes in business model are made and applied prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of immediately next reporting period following the changes in business model in accordance with principles laid down under Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments.
D) Other Equity Investments
All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except for those equity investments for which the Company
has elected to present the value changes in ‘Other Comprehensive Income’. However, dividend on such equity investments are recognised in Statement of Profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement
and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
c) Lease receivables under Ind AS 116
d) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
e) Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL
f) Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
• All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward¬ looking estimates are analysed. On that basis, the company estimates the following provision matrix at the reporting date:
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the P&L.
The Company does not have any purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e., financial assets which are credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.
Financial liabilities
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a Company entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
b) Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind AS 109 are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Commodity contracts that are entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the Company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements are held at cost.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss or treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
1.3.19 Recent Accounting 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. As on the date of approval of these financial statements, there are no new or amended Indian Accounting Standards notified by the MCA that are applicable to the Company or that have a material impact on these financial statements.
1.4 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company.
Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The 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 are given below:-
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Impairment of non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.
The preparation of financial statements involves estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting period.
Employee benefit plans
Defined contribution plans
Contribution paid/ payable to defined contribution plans comprises provident fund for certain employees governed under the scheme are recognised in the profit or loss each year when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions. Under this plan, the Company makes Provident Fund contributions to defined contribution plans for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Company
is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company has recognised Rs.22.42 lakhs (Year ended 31 March, 2025 Rs.20.73 lakhs) for Provident Fund contributions (including Pension fund / EDLI contributions) in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
Defined benefit plans
The Company offers the following employee benefit schemes to its employees:
i. Gratuity
The Company’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations carried out at the end of each reporting period.
Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:
1. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
2. Net interest expense or income; and
3. Remeasurements.
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss under Note No. 28, “Employee Benefits Expense”. Gains and losses on curtailments and settlements are recognised as part of past service cost.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes in the asset ceiling (if applicable), and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognised in OCI are not reclassified to profit or loss and are transferred directly to retained earnings.
ii. Leave encashment
Employee benefits in the nature of leave encashment are classified as short-term and long-term employee benefits, based on the expected timing of settlement.
Short-term employee benefits:
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered by employees is recognised during the year in which the employees render the related service. These benefits include performance incentives and compensated absences expected to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period.
The cost of compensated absences is accounted as follows:
i) In the case of accumulating compensated absences, when employees render services that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences; and
ii) In the case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur. Long-term employee benefits:
Compensated absences that are not expected to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation, determined using actuarial valuation techniques at the balance sheet date.
jj Leave Encashment
The valuation is done as per the parameters and measurements suggested under Ind AS 19 (Ind AS 19) As per Para 158 of Ind AS 19, disclosure for other long term employee benefits are not mandatory and hence the same has not been disclosed.
Leave encashment liability which are not expected to occur within 12 months after the end of the period in which employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the balance sheet date based on actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discounted rate that is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Government Bonds where the currency and terms of the Government bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated terms.
Notes:
a) Related party relationship is as identified by the management and relied upon by the auditors.
b) No amounts in respect of related parties have been written off/ written back during the year or has not made any provision for doubtful debts/ receivable.
c) Related party transactions have been disclosed on basis of value of transactions in terms of the respective contracts.
d) Terms and conditions of sales and purchases: the sales and purchases transactions among the related parties are in the ordinary course of business based on normal commercial terms, conditions, market rates and memorandum of understanding signed with the related parties. For the year ended 31st March, 2025 and 31st March 2026, the Company has not recorded any loss allowances for transactions between the related parties.
Note No.33 Listing status

Note No.34 Segment Reporting
Business Segments: The Company is engaged in manufacture of Electrical Installation Products. Two segments viz Manufactured products and Trading products are the reportable business segments, identified as per Ind AS 108, ‘Segment Reporting’, Segment assets and liabilities. These segments are the basis for management control and hence, form the basis for reporting. The business of each segment comprises of :
Manufacturing segment: - The Company manufactures high-end electrical equipment, indigenously designed through extensive research and development in the vital fields, offering them across the country to its clients. The products are:
Trading segment: - The Company engages in trading of electrical installation products including switches, wires, cables etc. sourced from its Parent company viz. Salzer Electronics Limited and sells them to its customers.
Other Disclosure
1. Current taxes, deferred taxes are not allocated to individual segments as they are also managed on a company basis.
2. The allocation of interest income, other income (net of expenses), and finance costs is not attributed to specific segments, as these instruments are managed on a comprehensive company-wide basis.
3. Unallocated Assets and Liabilities: Most of the assets, liabilities of the aforesaid reportable segments are interchangeable or not practically allocable and any forced allocation would not result in any meaningful segregation. Accordingly, segment assets & liabilities have not been presented. This segment information is provided to and reviewed by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
Note No.35LeasesAs a lesseeEffect of adoption of new accounting standard on Leases: Ind AS 116
The company has adopted IND AS 116 ‘’Leases’’ from the date of incorporation of the company.
Existing lease-hold building:-
1) Earlier Factory premises:- The existing lease contract entered by the Company pertains to buildings taken on lease for the company’s factory at Ambernath - F25 which is currently on a long term lease, expiring on 11/10/2099. The Right of Use Asset has been capitalised as a Lease hold building and depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (i.e. 30 years). Since there are no incremental payments, in the form of lease rentals to be made to the lessor in future, corresponding lease liability has not been disclosed. The Company does not have any lease restrictions or commitment towards variable rent as per the contract.
During FY25-26, the company has given on lease the above premises for a period of 5 years based on Leave and License basis for which the lease rental has been recognized in the books. The lease is treated as an Operating Lease according to Ind AS 116.
2) Current Factory premises :- To consolidated its operations, during FY23-24, the company shifted its manufacturing plant and therefore entered into a lease agreement for a period of 7 years for another premises at Ambernath and the company’s existing machinery and employees were transferred from the existing plant to the above factory premises. As per Ind AS 116, company has recognized Lease assets (as Right of Use asset) and a corresponding lease liability reflecting future lease payments, after discounting the future rentals.
3) Corporate officeIn addition to the above, the company pays monthly rentals for its corporate office at Mumbai in the form of a pagadi which is a legalized form of tenancy under the provisions of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999. Since the company can continue to occupy the premises as long as it desires, the tenancy does not carry a specific lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease. Consequently, the lease liability under IND AS 116 has not been accounted or disclosed with respect to the above.
Note No. 36Borrowings:
The Company has availed Cash Credit facility (BG - sub limit) with HDFC Bank (Outstanding NIL as on 31.03.2026) with additional limits for Working Capital term loan. The monthly statements of Stock, debtors and creditors which have been submitted to the Bank are in agreement with the books of accounts.
Fair values of Financial Instruments
Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values:
Measured at amortised cost
The carrying amount reflected above represents the company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for such financial assets. There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period. All the financial instruments are valued using Level 3 valuation techniques except Investments which are valued using Level 1 valuation technique.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company has not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost as their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Note No. 39Financial Risk management
The Company’s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks and credit risk. The Company’s senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company’s risk management framework. The Company has constituted a core Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly.
A. Liquidity risk
The Company maintained a cautious liquidity strategy, with a positive cash balance throughout the year ended 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025. Cash flow from operating activities provides the funds to service the financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis. The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operational needs. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required) and any excess is invested in interest bearing term deposits and other highly marketable debt investments with appropriate maturities to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
B. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and deposits.
i) 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. This risk exist mainly on account of borrowings of the Company. However, all these borrowings are at fixed interest rate and hence the exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant.
The Company availed issued working capital facility in INR based on HDFC Bank rates as a benchmark of Repo Rate 4% and Spread rate 3.25% (which is a variable interest rate debt). However, since there were no borrowings outstanding as of 31 /3/2026, the impact of sensitivity to interest rates would not apply.
ii) Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as at the respective reporting dates.
iii) Price Risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments.
C. 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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and other financial assets.
The maximum exposure to credit risk was Rs. 2897.17/- Lakhs as at March 31,2026 (Previous year : Rs. 2879.32 lakhs) primarily in the form of Investment, Receivables, Bank balances and FDs placed being the carrying amount of Financial assets. The financial assets are measured at amortised cost and are considered to have low credit risk.
i) Trade Receivables
The major exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from receivables comprising of trade receivables. Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major trade receivables. For receivables, as a practical expedient, the company computes expected credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.
ii) Other Financial Assets
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only in highly marketable debt instruments with appropriate maturities to optimise the cash return on instruments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
D) Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on the maintenance of a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.
E) Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to
• safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
• manage its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic condition and the requirements of the financial covenants
• diversify sources of financing and spread the maturity across tenure buckets in order to manage liquidity risk.
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Net debt includes all long and short-term borrowings (including current maturities of long-term borrowings and interest accrued) as reduced by cash and cash equivalents.
