39 Financial Instruments
i) Accounting Classification: a) The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
b) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
ii) Fair Value Measurement: The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
c. Fair value estimation
For financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, a three level fair value hierarchy is used that reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices for identical instruments
• Level 2: directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
• Level 3: inputs which are not based on observable market data.
There were no significant changes in classification and no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy classifications of financial assets and financial liabilities during the period.

Liquidity risk management implies maintain sufficient cash including availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations as and when due.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its short term and long term liabilities as and when due. Anticipated future cash flows, undrawn committed credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to meet the liquidity requirements of the Company.
41.2 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, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes investment, deposits, foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company's senior management team manages the Market risk, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management.
(i) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks arising from import of raw material in foreign currency . Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised liabilities, when they are denominated in a currency other than India Rupee. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years. The fluctuations in exchange rate may have an impact on company's operations. The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities all of which are unhedged at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
Interest rate 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. The Company's Long term borrowings have fixed rate of interest and carried at amortised costs. Hence, the Company is not subject to the interest rate risk since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will change due to change in the market interest rates.
Working capital facility is as per contractual terms, primarily of short term in nature, which does not exposes company to significant interest rate risk.
41.3 Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations to pay, resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining collaterals (such as Security Deposit) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored based on the counterparty's past performance and business dynamics. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the credit risk and monitoring team at regular intervals.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers primarily in rural areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition and performance of accounts receivable. The average credit period is about 90 days. The Company's trade and other receivables consists of a large number of customers, hence the Company is not exposed to concentration risk. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to Rs.3767.17 Lakhs.
The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.
The Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties for years ended March 2025 and March 2024 because it has evaluated their credit risk as low considering the financial stability of the ultimate parent.
