2.16 Provision and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has 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. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements.
2.17 Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gains/losses is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
To comply with the principles of ‘fair value hedge’, ‘cash flow hedge’ or ‘hedges of net investments in foreign operations’ where derivative contracts are designated as hedge instruments, depending upon documented risk management objective and hedge relationship established at inception and which are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
2.18 Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Corporate Management Committee.
Segments are organized based on business which have similar economic characteristics as well as exhibit similarities in nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, the type and class of customer and distribution methods. The CODM reviews the segments primarily from a business similarity perspective as well as from a geographic perspective.
Segment revenue is reported on the same basis as revenue in the financial statements. Segment results represents profits before finance charges, investment income and taxes. Inter¬ segment revenue is accounted for on the basis of transactions which are primarily market led.
“Unallocated Corporate Expenses” revenue and expenses relate to initiatives/costs attributable to the enterprise as a whole and are not attributable to segments.
2.19 Dividend Distribution
To recognised Dividends paid (including income tax thereon) in the financial statements in the period in which the related dividends are actually paid or, in respect of the Company’s final dividend for the year, when the same are approved by shareholders.
3. Property, Plant and Equipment and capital work-in-progress Carrying amounts of:
Dues to Micro and Small Enterprises have been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information collected by the Management. This has been relied upon by the auditors.
31. Employee Benefit Plans
(a) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company makes Provident fund and other funds contributions to defined contribution plans for qualifying employees. The Company recognised (? '000) 4240 (Year ended 31 March, 2025 (? '000) 4080) for Provident Fund contributions.
In February 2019, the Supreme Court of India in its judgement clarified the applicability of allowances that should be considered to measure obligations under Employees Provident Fund Act, 1952. The Company has been legally advised that there are interpretative challenges on the application of judgement retrospectively and as such does not consider there is any probable obligations for past periods. Accordingly, based on legal advice the Company has made a provision for provident fund contribution from the date of the Supreme Court order.
(b) Defined Benefit Plan: Gratuity
Provision is made for gratuity and compensated absences based upon actuarial valuation done at the end of every financial year using 'Projected Unit Credit' method and it covers all regular employees. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions are accounted for in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company has funded gratuity with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The disclosures as required under revised Indian Accounting Standard 19 on "Employee Benefits" are as follows:
The following table sets out the funded status of the defined benefit schemes and the amount recognised in the financial statements:
Previous year figures are given in brackets.
Segregation of assets (except trade receivable) into secondary segments has not been done as all the assets are located and used in India and the Company is of the view that it is not practical to reasonably allocate such assets and an ad-hoc allocation will not be meaningful.

38. Financial Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to avariety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize 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
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices could affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments including cash flow. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks.
All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board of Directors. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss."
Currency Risk
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company’s exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the Company's operating activities and borrowings when transactions are denominated in a different currency from the Company's functional currency.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency exposure at the end of the reporting
norinrl aro ac fnllmA/c
The above foreign currency forward contract, the Company has accrued loss on foreign currency transaction and translation of (?'000) 71 (previous year gain on foreign currency transaction and translation of (?'000) 29).
Credit Risk
Credit Risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure is continuously monitored.
Trade Receivables
The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by Ind AS 109, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The company has computed expected credit losses based on a provision matrix which uses historical credit loss experience of the Company. Forward-looking information (including macroeconomic information) has been incorporated into the determination of expected credit losses. Certain sales are undertaken based on advance payments from customers, which is considered as collateral and these are considered in determination of expected credit losses, where applicable.
The credit risk on liquid funds such as Fixed deposits with Banks, investment in IRFC Bonds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with high credit-ratings.
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on ongoing basis. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the company compares the risk of default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition.
Liquidity Risk
The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Maturity profile of financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.
The amounts included above for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amounts 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 reporting period, the Company on siders that it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.
39. Sensitivity Analysis
Foreign Currency Sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis arises on account of outstanding foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts. The Company considers a sensitivity of 10% in applicable foreign currency rates, holding all other variables constant.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, GBP and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.
If the change in rates decline by a similar percentage, there will be opposite impact of similar amount on Profit Before Tax and Pre-tax Equtiy Effect.
The sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
Interest Rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on exposure to interest rate for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the end of reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
Offsetting of balances
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are subject to offsetting where there is currently a legally enforceable right to set off recognized amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability, simultaneously. Certain derivative financial assets and financial liabilities are subject to master netting arrangements, whereby in the case of insolvency, derivative financial assets and financial liabilities will be settled on a net basis.
• Net profit ratio: Significant Change due to higher realization rate.
• Return on Capital employed: No material Change is observed.
41. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value hierarchy
Fair value of the financial instruments is classified in various fair value hierarchies based on the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted price including within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs such as foreign exchange spot rates and forward rates at the end of the reporting period, yield curves, risk free rate of returns, volatility etc., as applicable.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
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 with listed instruments where market is not liquid and for unlisted instruments.
The fair value of trade receivables and payables is considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these items due to their short - term nature.
There has been no change in the valuation methodology for Level 3 inputs during the year. The Company has not classified any material financial instruments under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.
42. Previous year's figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current year's classification / disclosure.
