l) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable
evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is
recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.

A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the lower of the present value of expected cost of terminating the contract and
the expected cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the company recognizes the impairment on
the assets, if any, with the contract.

Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

In those cases where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no
liability is recognised.

Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present
obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not possible that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefit will be required to settle the obligations or reliable estimate of the amount of the obligations cannot be made.
The Company discloses the existence of contingent liabilities in other notes to financial statements.

Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic
benefits. Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when inflow of economic benefits is probable, related asset is disclosed.

m) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of
the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than
the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the
Company and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the
weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The
dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e.
the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).

n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash at banks and on hand, cheques on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity
of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

o) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. Chief operating decision maker review the performance of the Company according to the nature of products manufactured,
traded and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves
different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the locations of customers.

p) Fair value measurement

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based
on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash
flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation
of value, and such value may never actually be realized. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the
Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity
of these instruments.

Fair value is the price 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another
valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of
the asset or liability, if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the
measurement date.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to
which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in
its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices /net asset value (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company
can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments
and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and liabilities, if any. At each reporting date, the Company analyses
the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's
accounting policies.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

Ý Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions

Ý Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy

Ý Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost)

q) Financial instruments

A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
financial instrument. Financial instrument (except trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs,
except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Trade receivables are measured
at their transaction price unless it contains a significant financing component in accordance with Ind AS 115 for pricing adjustments
embedded in the contract.

Subsequent measurement [Non-derivative financial assets]

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:

Ý Debt instruments at amortised cost

Ý Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Ý Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost, if both the following conditions are met:

a. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cashflows, and

b. Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate (EIR) method. 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 in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

ii. Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a
business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and selling financial assets.

On initial recognition, the Company has an irrevocable option to present changes in the fair value of equity investments
not held for trading in OCI. This option is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Investments in equity instruments at
FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in other Equity. Where the asset is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously
accumulated in the other Equity is directly reclassified to retained earnings.

iii. Financial assets at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, are classified as at FVTPL.

Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement
of Profit & Loss.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks and
interest rate risk 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 provided by the respective banks. Derivatives are
carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded directly to statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities

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 [Non-derivative financial liabilities]

Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is de-recognized 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 de-recognition 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.

r) 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 for financial assets. ECL is the weighted-average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the
Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original
effective interest rate, with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company
is required to consider:

Ý All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.

Ý Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

Trade receivables: In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requires
measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the
expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Other financial assets: In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those financial assets has
increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company
measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime
expected credit losses.

When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial
asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the balance
sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable
and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk
since initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial
recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.

De-recognition of financial assets: A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows
from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.

Derivative financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce
business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange. The instruments are confined principally to forward foreign
exchange contracts and these contracts do not generally extend beyond six months.

Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value from the date the derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

s) Event occurred after the Balance Sheet date

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Company's position at the end of the reporting
period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial
statements. Events after the end of the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements when material.

t) Recent amendments

a. New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The 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. In May 2025 and August 2025, MCA has notified amendments to various
Ind AS which are, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025, are given below. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its
evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

1. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025 - The amendment relates to classification of
liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it
removes the requirement of existence of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead
requires that the said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also introduces guidance
on classification of liabilities with covenants. The Company has no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of
current and non-current liabilities.

2. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025 - The
amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform users of financial statements of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and
explain the nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has
been amended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration of liquidity risk. The Company
has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its
financial statements.

3. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - The amendments provide a temporary
mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is
immediate and applies retrospectively.

These do not have a material impact on the financial statements.

b. New and amended standards issued but not effective

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year ended March 31,2026, A new Standard on Accounting, Ind
AS 118 (equivalent to IFRS 18) - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements has been introduced which will be applicable
from April 1,2027 and will replace Ind AS 1 once notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Ind AS 118 sets out general and
specific requirements for the presentation of financial statements and for disclosures in the notes. Additional clarifications issued in
August 2025 relating to liability classification have been considered by the Company. These do not have a material impact on the
financial statements.

Notes:

(i) Capital Reserve

This reserve is created against cancellation of equity shares to give effect to the Scheme of Arrangement. The reserve will be utilised
in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

(ii) General Reserve

General reserves acquired on account of demerger has been utilized for issuance of equity shares.

(iii) Retained Earnings

Retained earnings represents undistributed profits of the Company which can be distributed to its equity shareholders in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

(iv) During the year, the Company has paid interim dividend of H1.00; (Previous year Nil) per equity share. Now, final dividend of H1.80
(Previous year H1.50) per equity share for financial year 2025-26 is recommended by the Board of Directors, which is subject to the
approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

The Company participates in defined contribution and benefit schemes, the assets of which are held (where funded) in separately
administered funds. For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the statements of profit or loss is the total of
contributions payable in the year.

a) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company makes contributions towards provident fund and pension scheme to a defined contribution retirement benefit
plan for qualifying employees. Under the plan, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the
retirement benefit plan to fund the benefits.

b) Other long term benefits

The Compensated absences cover the Company liability for earned leave. The provision of H234.45 lakhs and H79.33 lakhs (Previous
year : H225.83 lakhs and H82.77 lakhs ) is presented as non- current and current respectively as per actuarial valuation. Expected
amount towards settlement of Leave for the next 12 months are H79.33 lakhs (Previous year : H82.77 lakhs). Amount recognized as
an expense and included in Note No. 21 Item "Compensated Absences" H87.63 Lakhs (Previous year H61.56 lakhs ) and included in
exceptional item H19.96 Lakhs (previous Year H Nil).

c) Defined benefits plans - as per actuarial valuation

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous
service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees
last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service subject
to maximum of H20 lakhs at the time of separation of from the company. Gratuity liability is being contributed to the gratuity fund
formed by the Company.

The most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity were carried
out as at March 31,2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service
cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

XII. Description of Risk Exposures:

Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such company is exposed to
various risks as follow -

Economic Assumptions :The discount rate and salary increase rate are the key financial assumptions and should be considered
together; it is the difference or 'gap' between these rates which is more important than the individual rates in isolation.

Discount Rate : The discounting rate is based on the gross redemption yield on Government securities. The term of the risk free
investments has to be consistent with the estimated term of benefit obligations.

Salary Escalation Rate : The salary escalation rate usually consists of at least three components, viz. regular increments, price
inflation and promotional increases. In addition to this any commitments by the management regarding future salary increases
and the Company's philosophy towards employee remuneration are also to be taken into account. Again, a long-term view as to
the trend in salary escalation rates has to be taken rather than guided by the escalation rates experienced in the immediate past, if
they have been influenced by unusual factors.

Attrition Rate / Withdrawal Rate : Past experience indicates the current level of attrition. The assumption may incorporate the
company's policy towards retention of employees, historical data & industry outlook.

Mortality Rate : Mortality Table (IALM) 2012-2014, as issued by Institute of Actuaries of India, for the valuation.

Investment Risk : If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate
assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.

32. SEGMENT REPORTING

According to Ind AS 108, identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) approach
for making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. The board of directors which are
identified as a CODM, consist of managing director, joint managing director and independent directors. The Board of directors of
Company assesses the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions. The business activity of
the company falls within one broad business segment viz. "Chemicals". There are no separate reportable segments under Ind AS 108
"Operating Segments" notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015. Hence, the disclosure requirement
of Ind AS 108 of 'Segment Reporting' is not considered applicable.

iv) Non-current assets

The Company has common non-current assets for business in domestic and overseas markets. Hence, separate figures for non¬
current assets/ additions to property, plant and equipment have not been disclosed.

C. Information about major customers

For the year ended March 31, 2026, two customers (Previous year two customers) of the Company constituted more than 10% of
the total revenue of Company.

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments - Fair values and risk management

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant
data available. 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.

Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives)
is determined using valuation techniques which maximize 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.

There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

(iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

a. Fair value of cash and bank and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.

b. Fair value of borrowings from banks and other financial liabilities, are estimated by discounting future cash flows using
rates currently available for debt on similar terms and remaining maturities.

c. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

- the use of net assets value for investments in unquoted mutual funds and equity securities

- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined as per valuation provided by the bank

- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

34 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
A Risk Management Framework

The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management
framework. The board of directors has established the processes to ensure that executive management controls risks through the
mechanism of property defined framework.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate
risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed by the board
annually to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management
standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand
their roles and obligations.

The Company's Audit Committee oversees compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews
the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in
its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the
results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

- Credit risk;

- Market risk; and

- Liquidity risk

i. Credit risk

The Company evaluates the customer credentials carefully from trade sources before extending credit terms and credit terms are
extended to only financially sound customers. The Company secures adequate advance from its customers whenever necessary
and hence risk of bad debt is limited. The credit outstanding is sought to be limited to the sum of advances and credit limit
determined by the Company. The Company have stop supply mechanism in place in case outstanding goes beyond agreed limits.

Trade receivables

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management
also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry.

Trade receivables are consisting of a large number of customers. The Management has established a credit policy under which
each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and
conditions are offered. The Company's review includes market check, industry feedback, past financials and external ratings, if they
are available. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other
receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables.

In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are reviewed according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an
individual or a legal entity, their geographic location, industry and existence of previous financial difficulties. The ageing analysis of
the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.

Investments

Investments are reviewed for any fair valuation loss on a periodic basis and necessary provision/fair valuation adjustments have
been made based on the valuation carried by the management to the extent of available sources and the management does not
expect any investee entities to fail to meet its obligations. Investments of surplus funds are made primarily in units of mutual funds.
These mutual funds have low credit risk.

Cash and bank balances

Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalent, deposits with the banks is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the
banks who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.

Others

Other than trade receivables and others reported above, the Company has no other material financial assets which carries any
significant credit risk.

ii 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: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk, such as commodity price risk and
equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include trade payables, trade receivables, borrowings, etc.

a) Foreign Currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the
USD, AED and EURO. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of
highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the rupee cash flows of
highly probable forecast transactions by hedging the foreign exchange inflows on regular basis.

The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce
foreign exchange risk exposures and follows its risk management policies to mitigate the same.

After taking cognisance of the natural hedge, the company takes appropriate hedges to mitigate its risk resulting from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate(s).

c) Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk for the Company is mainly related to fluctuations in rate of Sulphur which is linked to various external
factors, thereby impacting the production cost of the Company. Since the Sulphur is one of the primary costs drivers, any
adverse price fluctuation may lead to drop in operating margin. To manage this risk, the Company has multiple suppliers.
Additionally, material requirement, processes and policies to mitigate price fluctuation risks are reviewed and controlled by
senior management and the procurement team.

iii Liquidity risk

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 to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far
as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are fallen due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due
to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability
under committed credit lines.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash
and cash equivalents on the basis of expected future cash flows. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits
set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account requirement, future cash flow and the liquidity in which the
entity operates. In addition, the Company's liquidity management strategy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and
considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external
regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

37. Capital management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the
requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The primary objective of the Company's capital management
is to maximize the shareholder value. The Company's primary objective when managing capital is to ensure that it maintains an
efficient capital structure and healthy capital ratios and safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order
to support its business and provide maximum returns for shareholders. The Company also proposes to maintain an optimal capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year ended March
31,2026 and March 31,2025 .

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. Net debt
includes, interest bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors capital and net debt as under:

38. LEASES

a. The Company recognizes the expenses of short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the year,
expenses of H191.20 lakhs (previous year H155.50 lakhs) related to short-term and low value leases were recognised.

b. On March 31, 2026, lease liabilities were H543.56 lakhs (Previous Year : H555.95 lakhs). The corresponding interest expense for
the year ended March 31,2026 was H44.88 lakhs (Previous Year H34.43 lakhs). The portion of the lease payments recognized as
a reduction of the lease liabilities and as a cash outflow from financing activities amounted to H57.27 lakhs (Previous year H Nil)
for the year ended March 31,2026.

39. Events occuring after balance sheet date

The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of H1.80 (Full value) (Previous year H1.50) (Full value) per equity share of H2 each and
the total proposed dividend amounts to H899.11 lakhs (Previous year H749.26 lakhs) and same is subject to approval of shareholders
at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

40. ACCOUNTING OF SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT
Previous year
