37. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. 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.
Market risk
The Company operates internationally and a major portion of its business is transacted in United States Dollars and Euros and purchases from overseas suppliers mainly in US Dollars. The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Company's operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates / depreciates against these currencies.
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's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company's net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies;consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts (refer note 35).
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to ' 2,23,365.60 Lakhs and ' 1,79,341.83 Lakhs as of 31 March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025 respectively. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Trade Receivables
The Company has established credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for credit worthiness before Company's standard payment terms (credit period ranges from 30 to 180 days) and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company reviews external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank references.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units and in quoted bonds. Loans represent loan given to related parties for which the Company does not foresee any impairment loss.
Liquidity Risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach of managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damages to the Company's reputation. The Company monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans together with expected cash outflows on trade payables & other financial liabilities.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flows that are generated from operations. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
As of 31 March, 2026, the Company had a working capital of ' 1,83,546.90 Lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of ' 13,515.48 Lakhs and current investments of ' 36,144.84 Lakhs.
