46. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is undertaken by the senior management.
(A) 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include Long term borrowings, Advances and deposits.
(i) 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 (where revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The value of foreign currency exposed risk is not material.
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company's revenues from its operations. The following table details the Company's sensitivity movement in the foreign currencies. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%. This 2% represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible
change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financials instruments. In management's opinion, 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.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of the liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents Management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/ lower, the Company's profit for the year ended March 31,2025 would decrease/ increase by Rs.0.16 lakhs (2023-24: decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.21 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
(iii) Other Price risk
There is no security price risk since there is only investments in an wholly owned subsidiary.
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from outstanding trade receivables and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and institutions and investments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit/division based on the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has customer base across diverse industries.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company makes an allowance for doubtful debts using expected credit loss model and on a case to case basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
(C) Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company's objective when managing capital are to ensure their ability to continue as going concern, so that they can leverage maximise returns for shareholders and benefits of other stakeholders; and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital. Capital management and funding requirements is met through equity, internal accruals and long and short term debt instruments. The Company monitors capital management though gearing ratio which considers Debt (net of cash and cash equivalents) and equity.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements.
(D) Liquidity risk
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans . Rs. 235.74 lakhs of the Company's borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: 287.77 lakhs) based on the carrying value of borrowings reflected in the financial statements.
