1.15 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
Contingent liability
It is disclosed for:
a. Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the company, or
b. Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence 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. Contingent assets are not recognised and disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
1.16 Leases:
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short¬ term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a written down value basis over the lease term. Lease term is a non¬ cancellable period together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably
certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments to be paid over the lease term at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company makes the use of leasing arrangements principally for the provision of the head office and related facilities. The Company does not enter into sale and leaseback arrangements. All the leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide variety of different terms and conditions such as escalation clauses, termination rights etc.
Lease liability and Right of use asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
1.17 Foreign currency transactions and translation:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities remaining unsettled
at the end of the year are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the year. All differences arising on settlement/restatement are adjusted in the statement of profit and loss.
1.18 Government Grant:
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
1.19 Measurement of Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation
As permitted by Guidance Note on Schedule III, the Company has opted to present profit before interest (finance cost), tax, depreciation and amortization as a separate line item on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year. The Company measures profit before interest (finance cost), tax, depreciation and amortization based on profit/(loss) from continuing operations.
1.20 Share-based payment transactions:
Employees Stock Options Plans (ESOP):
Equity settled share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, in accordance with IND AS 102 Share based payment, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under "Share based payment reserve". The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
1.21 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. For the year ended 31st March, 2026, MCA has notified following Amendment to Ind AS, applicable to the Company w.e.f. 1st April, 2025.

* Biocon Biologics Limited (BBL)
1. The Company tests impairment of goodwill on an annual basis. Based on the annual impairment test no provision towards impairment is required. The recoverable amounts determined based on value-in-use calculations which is calculated as the net present value of forecasted cash flows of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the goodwill is related. Acquired brands are considered as CGU for testing impairment of goodwill amounting to Rs 48.57 crores generated on acquisition of brands.
2. The key assumptions for CGUs with significant amount of goodwill as follows:
Projected cash flows for five years based on financial budgets/forecasts in line with the past experience. The terminal value has been determined using a long-term growth rate of 5%, which reflects expected macroeconomic growth factors. The discount rate, determined as 13.02% as of March 31, 2026, is based on current market conditions and the specific circumstances of the Company and its operations. It has been derived from the Company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The Management believes that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which a recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount of the CGU.

Financial Instrument measured at amortised cost
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy:
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Determination of fair values:
The following are the basis of assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis:
Equity investments : Fair value of Equity investments traded in an active market are determined by reference to their quoted market prices. Other equity investments where quoted prices are not available, fair values are determined by reference to the current market value of net assets or relied upon on valuation report of an valuer.
(iii) Financial risk management:
The Company's activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company through established policies and processes which are laid down to ascertain the extent of risks, setting appropriate limits, controls, continuous monitoring and its compliance.
a) Market risk :
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market prices. The Company is not an active investor in equity markets; it continues to hold certain investments in equity for long term value accretion. Market risk comprises of three type of risks namely interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk. The Company is not exposed to currency risk and other price risk whereas the exposure to interest risk is given below:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market interest rate.
The Company invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses and tax free bonds. Such investments are susceptible to market price risk that arise mainly from changes in interest rate which may impact the return and value of such investments. Investments in tax free bonds amounts to Rs.0.31 Crore and Rs.0.33 Crore as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 respectively.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company has floating rate borrowings. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
For the year ended 31 March 2026, every 1% increase or decrease in the floating interest rate component (i.e., Treasury bill/ Repo rate) applicable to its borrowings would affect the Company's profit before tax and Equity by Rs 5.06 Crores. (Previous year Rs 8.20 Crores.)
b) Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises majorly from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, Investments as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the companies receivables from customers.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Company manages credit risk 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.
Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macro economic indicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change, the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is Rs.1,567.71 Crore and Rs.1,245.58 Crore as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 respectively, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks, bank deposits, trade receivables, other financial assets, loans and investments excluding equity investments in subsidiaries, and these financial assets are of good credit quality including those that are past due.
Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 months expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix considers historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables.
Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure of the Company's trade receivables as on March 31, 2026 using provision matrix:The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables.
c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the company could be required to pay its liabilities earlier than expected or encounters difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities as they fall due. The company approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company generates cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations and manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and bank balance and availability of funding through adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
Contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities are mentioned below. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:
(iv) Capital management
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, debt, cash and cash equivalents. The Company's objective for capital management is to maintain the capital structure which will support the Company's strategy to maximize shareholder's value, safeguarding the business continuity and help in supporting the growth of the Company.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the 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 Company monitors capital using Debt- Equity ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity. Debt is defined as liabilities comprising interest-bearing borrowings, lease liabilities less cash and bank balances.
(v) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the EURO. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency. The Company's operations in foreign currency creates natural foreign currency hedge. This results in insignificant net open foreign currency exposures considering the volumes and operations of the Company.
Foreign currency risk exposure:
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in Rs. In Crores, are as follows:
