2.14 Contingent liabilities and provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.
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. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities if the outflow of resources is remote.
The Company does not recognise contingent assets unless the realization of the income is virtually certain, however these are assessed continually to ensure that
the developments are appropriately disclosed in the financial statements.
2.15 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before exceptional items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future receipts or payments. In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cheques on hand, balances with banks in current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, as applicable.
2.16 Segment reporting
In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Company has identified manufacture and sale of electronic boards and systems and related annual maintenance services for defence sector. As per Ind AS 108 Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, the Company has identified only one segment as primary reportable segment for the year ended 31 March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025.
2.17 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 other than equity instruments are classified into categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and at amortised cost. Financial assets that are equity instruments are classified at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost
Financial instruments are recognised on the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Initially, a financial instrument is recognised at its fair value except for trade receivable. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments are recognised in determining the carrying amount, if it is not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial
instruments are measured according to the category in which they are classified.
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
For the purpose of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified and measured based on the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset at:
a) Amortised cost
b) Fair value through profit and loss
c) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
All financial assets are reviewed for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.
a) Financial asset at amortised cost
I ncludes assets that are held within a business model where the objective is to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure. The Company shall also measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
b) Financial asset at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that are designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition and financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements
apply. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure. The Company shall also measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The loss allowance shall be recognised in profit and loss.
c) Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
I ncludes assets that are held within a business model where the objective is both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets along with the contractual terms giving rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. At initial recognition, the Company, based on its assessment, makes an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income the changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading. These selections are made on an instrument-by-instrument (i.e., share-by-share) basis. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in other comprehensive income. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. The dividends from such instruments are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
The fair value of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure. The Company shall also measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the
lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the balance sheet.
d) De recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company’s standalone balance sheet) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through’ arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
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.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through
the EIR amortization process. 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 amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised 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 derecognition 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 and Loss.
Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options and buyback of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
Fair value of financial instruments
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.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model and specific identification method based on the credit risk for measurement and recognition of impairment loss for financial assets.
The Company tracks credit risk and changes thereon for each customer. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss, except for trade receivables.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity uses the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
The Company uses default rate for credit risk to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables.
Trade receivables
The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables
Default is considered to exist when the counter party fails to make the contractual payment within 90 days of when they fall due which is on final sign off by the customer after acceptance is completed. A trade receivable is considered to be credit impaired when the management considers the amount to be non recoverable.
However Time barred dues from the government / government departments / government companies are generally not considered as increase in credit risk of such financial asset.
Other financial assets
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased significantly, impairment loss is provided.
The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of non-financial assets
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and asset specific risk factors.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
Fair value measurement
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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the- counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise 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, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
2.18 Provision for warranties
Provision for warranties are recognized for the best estimates of the average cost involved for replacement/repair etc. of the product sold till the balance sheet date. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidences based on corrective actions on product failures. The estimates for accounting of warranties are reviewed and revisions are made as required.
2.19 Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest crores as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless specifically stated otherwise.
3 Recent accounting pronouncements and other regulatory updates
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, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation it has determined that it does not have any significant impact on its financial statements.
In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:
i. I nd 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 reviewed the aforesaid amendment and based on its assessment it has concluded that there is no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.
ii. I nd AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, titled Supplier Finance Agreements applicable w.e.f. April 1,2025 - The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires users of financial statements of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explains 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. Based on its assessment, the Company has concluded that these amendments have no impact, as it does not have any supplier finance arrangements.
iii. I nd AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - The amendments clarify that the Standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the OECD, including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described in those rules.
The amendments introduced a temporary exception to the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in Ind AS 12, so that an entity would neither recognize nor disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
The Company operates solely in India. Accordingly, the amendment has no impact on the financial statements, and no deferred tax adjustments or additional disclosures are required in this regard.
New and revised Ind AS in issue but not effective:
i. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Where a covenant breach exists on or before the reporting date and, as a result, the liability becomes payable on demand on that date, the liability must be classified as current, even if the lender subsequently agrees not to demand payment.
The management do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company in future periods.
d) Terms/ rights attached to equity shares
The Company has one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs. 2/- per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors, if any, is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting, except interim dividend, which is approved by the Board of Directors. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be proportional to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
e) There were no shares issued pursuant to contract without payment being received in cash, allotted as fully paid up by way of bonus issues and there were no buy back of shares during the last 5 years immediately preceding 31 March 2026 other than 3,82,45,275 bonus equity shares of Rs. 2/- each issued and allotted to its shareholders by capitalising General reserves amounting to Rs. 7.65 crores in the financial year 2021-22.
g) Capital management
The Company’s capital management objectives are:
- to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and continue to provide optimum returns to the shareholders and all other stakeholders by building a strong capital base.
- to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the return on capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell investments / other assets to reduce debt.
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders plus its borrowings and cash credit facility, if any, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the balance sheet. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The amounts managed as capital by the Company for the reporting years are summarized as follows:
Nature and purpose of reserves Capital reserve
Capital reserve represents the difference between the net assets acquired and the carrying value of investment in the wholly owned subsidiary on merger.
General reserve
The general reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purpose. As the general reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income.
Securities premium
Securities premium comprises of the amount of share issue price received over and above the face value.
Surplus in statement of profit and loss
The above reserve represents profits generated and retained by the Company post distribution of dividends to the equity shareholders in the respective years. This reserve can be utilized for distribution of dividend by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Items of other comprehensive income
Represents remeasurement of defined benefit liability which comprises of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability.
19.1 Provision for employee benefits
a) Gratuity
Iln accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement (subject to completion of five years of continuous employment), death, incapacitation or termination of employment that are based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation on the reporting date and the Company makes annual contribution to the gratuity fund maintained by Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Ltd.
The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the gratuity.
vii) Risk exposure
The defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, investment risk, longevity risk and inflation risk.
Interest rate risk
The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields of G-sec securities. The estimated term of the bonds is consistent with the estimated term of the defined benefit obligation and it is denominated in Indian rupees. A decrease in market yield on G-sec securities will increase the Company’s defined benefit liability, although it is expected that this would be offset partially by an increase in the fair value of certain of the plan assets.
Investment risk
The company maintains plan assets in the form of fund with Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Ltd. The fair value of the plan assets is exposed to the market risks (in India).
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants during their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Inflation risk
A significant proportion of the defined benefit liability is linked to inflation. An increase in the inflation rate will increase the Company’s liability.
b) Compensated absences
The Employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. Employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absence and utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment for the unutilized accrued compensated absence as per Company policy. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which employees render services that increase this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. The liability has been actuarially evaluated and accounted in the books.
a) Disaggregation of revenue information
The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customer which is recognized based on goods transferred at a point of time by geography and offerings of the Company. As per the management, the below disaggregation best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of how revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.
The fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined under amortised cost method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. These rates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fair value.
Cash and bank balances, trade receivables, other financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
NOTE 38 : Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other financial liabilities . 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 trade receivables, investments, cash and bank balance, deposits and other financial asset that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management assesses the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors review and agree on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
a) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.
b) 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 are managed by borrowing at fixed interest rates. The Company has pre-closed all the loans and there is no outstanding loan as at 31 March 2026, accordingly no interest rate risk.
c) Foreign currency risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Indian rupees. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s overseas sales and purchases of materials, which are primarily denominated in US dollars (USD) and Great Britain Pound (GBP).
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities which exposes the Company to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated at the closing rate:
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD/Rs exchange rate, GBP/Rs exchange rate and CHF/Rs exchange rate, 'all other things being equal’. It assumes a /- 1% change of the USD/Rs. exchange rate for the year ended at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: /-!%), /-1% change of the GBP/Rs exchange rate for the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: /- 1%).
If the Indian Rupee had strengthened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%), GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) respectively then this would have had the following impact on profit before tax and equity before tax.
If the Indian Rupee had weakened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) and GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) respectively then there would an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
d) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example trade receivables, deposits, investment, bank balance etc. the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at reporting period, as summarised below:
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company’s policy is to transact only with counterparties who are highly creditworthy which are assessed based on internal due diligence parameters.
In respect of trade receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics (Also refer note 23) . Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good, since most of its customers are either Government or Government departments or Companies under Government ownership.
The credit risk for cash and bank balances are considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
Other financial assets, mainly comprises of rental deposits, security deposits and other receivables which are given to landlords or other governmental agencies in relation to contracts executed, are assessed by the Company for credit risk on a continuous basis.
e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-today business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to- week basis, as well as on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis depending on the business needs. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.
The Company’s objective is to maintain cash and bank’s short term credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. Cash flows from trade receivables are all contractually due within twelve months except for retention and long term trade receivables which are governed by the relevant contract.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investment income, interest from deposits and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
i) Issue of equity shares through QIP
During the financial year 2022-23, the Company allotted Equity shares through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) process to the Qualified Institutional Buyers. These equity shares were allotted on March 13, 2023 and will rank pari-passu with the existing equity shares.
The Company has spent INR 12.24 Crores towards the Qualified Institutional Placement process and the same is adjusted in Securities Premium account
Unutilised QIP Proceeds are available as at the balance sheet date
a) Fixed Deposits with monitoring agency amounting to INR 36.95 (previous year INR 88.74) (Refer Note 14)
b) Bank balances in monitoring agency account amounting to INR 3.07 (previous year INR 0.56) (Refer Note 14)

Changes to Employee Benefits upon notification of Labour Codes
On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws into unified framework. The Labour Codes introduce a revised and uniform definition of "wages" necessitating a reassessment of employee benefit obligations. The Ministry of Labour and Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations.
The Company has assessed the implications of the revised wage definition and the incremental impact of the implementation of the new labour codes, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Considering the materiality and regulatory-driven, non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact as "Statutory impact of new Labour Codes" under the Exceptional Items in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2026. The incremental impact consisting of gratuity of Rs 3.01 crore primarily arises due to the change in wage definition.
The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to Labour Codes and will evaluate additional impact if any on the measurement of liability pertaining to employee benefits.
