f. Provision
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
g. Impairment of financial assets:
The impairment provisions for financial assets depending on their classification are based on assumptions about risk of default, expected cash loss rates, discounting rates applied to these forecasted future cash flows, recent transactions and independent valuer's report. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
h. Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets:
The Company uses a simplified approach to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. This is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward¬ looking estimates are analysed. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may not be representative of customer's actual default in the future.
i. Leases — Estimating the incremental borrowing rates:
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities.
The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of- use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no
observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease.
The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity- specific estimates (such as the Company's credit rating).
j. Other estimates:
The share-based compensation expense is determined based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest.

Note 43 Exceptional items
On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified 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 — thereby consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment subsequently issued draft Central Rules and FAQs to facilitate assessment of the financial impact arising from the regulatory changes.
The Company has evaluated and disclosed the impact of these changes based on the best information available, in line with the guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Considering the materiality and the regulatory-driven non-recurring nature of the impact, the Company has presented the incremental impact of ' 2.13 crore as “Statutory impact of new Labour Codes" under “Exceptional Items" in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026.
The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central and State Rules, as well as further clarifications from the Government, and will recognise appropriate accounting effects based on such developments, as and when required.

Note 46 Defined Benefit Plan and Other Long Term Employee Benefit Plan:
I) Defined Contribution Plan
During the year, the Company has made contribution/provision to provident fund stated under defined contribution plan amounting to ' 3.26 crore (March 31, 2025: ' 3.91 crore) and the same has been recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
II) Defined Benefit Plans
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees (including contractual employees). The gratuity benefits payable to employees are based on the employee's service and last drawn salary at the time of leaving. The Company has provided for gratuity based on actuarial valuation done as per projected unit credit method.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period and assuming there are no other changes in the market conditions. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
(A) Interest risk - A decrease in the discount rate will increase the plan liability.
(B) 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 both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
(C) Salary risk — The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

a. In respect of the legacy accounting software, the audit trail facility was enabled for relevant transactions recorded in the software, except that the audit trail feature was not enabled at the database level and certain users have access to make direct changes that were not logged at the application layer.
b. In respect of the new accounting software implemented from January 1, 2026:
i. The audit trail facility was enabled at the application layer for relevant transactions recorded in the software; however, certain users have access to make direct changes that were not logged.
ii. For the database layer, the Company has obtained the Service Organisation Controls (“"SOC"") report covering the period up to December 31, 2025, along with a bridge letter for the balance period during the year. However,
this SOC report, issued by the ERP service provider to all its users, does not explicitly mention if the audit trail controls were enabled or not at the database layer.
2. Further, the Company uses certain peripheral applications that support the recording of revenue, inventory and procurement (hereinafter referred to as 'supporting software'), wherein:
a. In the case of one application related to procurement (which was implemented w.e.f. January 01, 2026), the audit trail (edit log) facility was not enabled throughout the period.
b. In the case of other applications, the audit trail (edit log) facility:

Processing payroll and procurement - Management obtained the report of Service Organisation Controls (SOC) auditors engaged by such third party for the year which mention that the audit trail feature of the said software was enabled and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software or whether there were any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered with.
b. Consumption of raw materials (up to December 31, 2025) - Management is not in possession of the SOC report to determine whether the audit trail feature of the said software was enabled and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software or whether there were any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered with.
The carrying values of the financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are reasonable approximation of their fair values. Accordingly, the fair values of such financial assets and liabilities have not been disclosed separately.
Valuation methodology:
The fair values of assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument can 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:
The valuation techniques used to determine the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as level 2 include use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments and generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts with various counterparties. The fair value of such derivatives instruments are determined using forward exchange rates, currency basis spreads between respective currencies, etc.
Note 51 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies:
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings from banks, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets comprise cash and bank balance, trade and other receivables that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to various financial risks such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management team oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
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 mainly comprises currency risk, product price risk and interest risk.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
a) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily due to borrowings having floating interest rates. The Company uses available working capital limits for availing short-term working capital demand loans with interest rates negotiated from time to time so that the Company has an effective mix of fixed and variable rate borrowings. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
b) 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 denominated in foreign currency and thus the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to trade payables and advances paid to vendors. The Company's foreign currency risks are identified, measured and managed at periodic intervals in accordance with the Company's policies. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of hedging any foreign currency exposure, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. The year end foreign currency forward contracts and unhedged foreign currency exposures are given below :
c) Product price risk
In an inflationary economy, the Company expects periodical price increases across its product lines. Product price increases which are not in line with the levels of customers' discretionary spends, may affect the business/ sales volumes. In such a scenario, the risk is managed by offering judicious product discounts to customers to sustain volumes. The Company negotiates with its vendors for purchase price rebates such that the rebates substantially absorb the product discounts offered to the customers. This helps the Company to protect itself from significant product margin losses. This mechanism also works in case of a downturn in the retail sector, although overall volumes would get affected.
B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that 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).
a) Trade receivables
The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with only credit worthy counterparties in case of institutional customers and the credit risk exposure for institutional customers is managed by the Company by credit worthiness checks. The Company's experience of delinquencies and customer disputes have been minimal. Also, the Company has a simplified approach to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. This is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. Accordingly, the credit risk is covered by the Company. (Refer accounting policy 2B(g) for expected credit loss on trade receivable).
b) Security Deposit
The Company also carries credit risk on lease deposits with landlords for properties taken on leases, for which agreements are signed and property possessions are taken for operations. The risk relating to refunds after vacating the premises is managed through successful negotiations or appropriate legal actions, where necessary.
c) Financial instruments and cash deposit
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through a counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations on a timely basis through its cash and cash equivalents, and funds available by way of committed credit facilities from banks. Management manages the liquidity risk by monitoring rolling cash flow forecasts and maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. This monitoring includes financial ratios and takes into account the accessibility of cash and cash equivalents and additional undrawn financing facilities.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:
Note 52 Segment Information:
In accordance with Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments', segment information has been given in the consolidated financial statements of the Group and therefore, no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these financial statements.
The Company operates in a single geographical environment i.e. in India.
No single external customer (other than related party - refer note 47) contributed 10% or more to the Company's revenue. All non-current assets of the Company are located in India.
Note 53 Capital management:
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities 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 manages its capital structure and makes adjustments 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 capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital. Net debt includes interest bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The volatility is based on annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return based on the peer companies and competitive stocks over a period of expected life. The Company has determined the market price on grant date based on the closing price of stock on NSE Index, as on the grant date.
The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of options exercised during the year was ' 230.63. (March, 2025 ' 179.52)
**The movement of options & the fair value assumptions have been restated to give effect of the bonus shares allotted by the company vide Board's approval dated October 03, 2022 in proportion of 5:1, i.e., 5 (five) bonus equity shares of ' 1 each for every 1 (one) fully paid-up equity share held as on the record date.
