I. Fair value hierarchy -
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the standalone financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows below.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.
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 entity-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. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
During the periods mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
II. Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
Significant valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(i) The fair values for investments in equity instrument and mutual fund are based on the quoted market prices. Fair values of security deposits, loans are based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined considering Company's incremental borrowing rate.
(ii) Fair valuation of interest rate swap and foreign currency option contracts are calculated on the basis of estimated mid-market levels, estimated bid-side or offer side levels, or on the basis of indicative bid or offer or unwind prices or on such other appropriate basis. It is derived from other proprietary or other pricing models based on certain assumptions.
(iii) Fair valuation of forward exchange contracts are determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
(iv) The carrying value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balance other than cash and cash equivalents, loans, other current financial assets, borrowings, lease liabilities, trade payables, other current financial labilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value and hence they have not been disclosed under tables above.
III. Valuation process
The finance department performs the calculations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the finance team at least once every three months, in line with the quarterly reporting periods.
43 Financial risk management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, investments and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities (loans, deposits with banks and other financial instruments).
Credit risk managementTrade receivables
To manage credit risk, the Company follows a credit policy based on industry norms. The credit limit policy is established considering the current economic trends of the industry in which the company is operating. However, the trade receivables are monitored on a periodic basis for assessing any significant risk of non-recoverability of dues and provision is created accordingly.
Other financial assets
The Company periodically monitors the recoverability and credit risks of its other financial assets. The Company evaluates 12 months expected credit losses for all the financial assets for which credit risk has not increased significantly. In case credit risk has increased significantly, the Company considers life time expected credit losses for the purpose of impairment provisioning.
The Company has considered financial condition, current economic trends, forward looking macroeconomic information, analysis of historical bad or doubtful receivables and ageing of receivables related to cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and other financial assets. In most of the cases, risk is considered low since the counterparties are reputed organisations with no history of default to the Company and no unfavourable forward looking macro economic factors. Wherever applicable, expected credit loss allowance is recorded.
(b) 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 a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities - borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk management
The Company's corporate finance department is responsible for liquidity and 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 net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments (except lease liabilities) at each reporting date:
The amounts included in the above table for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amount the Company could be forced to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee. Based on expectations at the end of the respective reporting periods, the Company considers that it is more likely than not that no amount will be payable under the arrangement.
(c) 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: Foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
(1) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on their receivables, payables which are held in USD, EUR, THB, CHF and JPY. The Company's exposure arises mainly on import of raw material and capital items and export of finished goods. The Company follows a policy of matching of import and export exposures (natural hedge) to reduce the net exposure in any foreign currency. Whenever the natural hedge is not available or is not fully covering the foreign currency exposure of the Company, management uses certain derivative instruments to manage its exposure to the foreign currency risk. Foreign currency transactions are managed within approved policy parameters. The Company uses forward contracts, options and cross currency swap to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company had designated certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk as cash flow hedges. These hedging instruments have expired during the year ended 31 March 2026.
Hedge ineffectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The economic relationship and hedge effectiveness are based on the qualitative factors and the use of a hypothetical derivative where appropriate.
The Company had established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk and notional amount of the hedging instruments were identical to the hedged items.
44 Capital management(i) Risk management
The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders.
The capital structure of the Company is based on management's judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. Management considers the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manages the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
(v) Salaries and employer benefits
The KMP's are covered under the Company's gratuity policy, leave encashment policy and bonus policy along with other eligible employees of the Company. Proportionate amount of gratuity and compensated absences expenses and provision for gratuity and compensated absences, which are determined actuarially are not mentioned in the aforementioned disclosures as these are computed for the Company as a whole.
