The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values :
Current investments

Fair value hierarchy

There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Note 40Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise trade payables, borrowings and security deposits. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to support its operations. The Company's principal financial assets includes investments, trade 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 Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
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 prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and investments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt and the ratio of fixed-to floating interest rates of the debt are all constant as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Commodity Price risk
The Company does not carry any significant commodity price risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company has not hedged its exposure to fluctuations in the interest rates on account of the insignificant impact of any changes in the interest rate to its operations.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, if any, investment in mutual fund and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. For the fixed lease income, the billing is done in advance i.e. at the beginning of the month and for variable lease rent and other maintenance charges, the credit period provided is of 7 to 10 days. Thus there are no major trade receivable balances outstanding at the year end.
In case of hospitality business, credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 39.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a trade receivable or a group of trade receivables is impaired. The Company recognises lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction and which are due for more than six months. The expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the trade receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company uses a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix.
* Provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered doubtful irrespective of due date. Where an amount is outstanding for more than 365 days the Company usually provides for the same unless there is clear visibility of recovery.
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). The Company has not hedged its exposure to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates on considering that the Company will settle the entire exposure within a period of 12 months and the insignificant impact of any fluctuations in the rate to its operations.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company's finance department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and polices related to such risk are overseen by Senior management. Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position on a monthly and quarterly basis through its Senior management meeting and board meetings. They use rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The Senior management ensures that the future cash flow needs are met through cash flow from the operating activities and short term borrowings from banks.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:
Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it 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 Company monitors the capital using gearing ratio. The Company includes within net debt, lease liabilities, interest bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents.
