37.2 Defined benefit plan
(i) Refer note 2.15 for the accounting policy of the defined benefit plan
(ii) The defined benefit plan typically exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk,longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference tomarket yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will createa plan deficit.
Interest risk
Decrease in the Interest rate will increase the cost of providing the above benefit and thus increase in the value of liability.Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality ofplan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants willincrease the plan's liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit 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.
(i) The investments in subsidiaries (refer note 7) is accounted at cost less impairment, if any.
(ii) The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as trade receivables, loans, cash andcash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts and trade payables, becausetheir carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
? Credit risk
? Liquidity risk
? Market risk
The Company's treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and internationalfinancial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal riskreports which analyse the exposure by degree and magnitude of risks. The treasury function reports periodically to theBoard of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversightof the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established a risk management policy toidentify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risk andadherence to limits. Risk management systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and theCompany's activities.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails tomeet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's trade receivables, treasury operations andGovernment receivables.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Managementconsiders that the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and countryin which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Company is not exposed to concentration of creditrisk to any one single customer since the products are sold to and services are provided to customers who are spread overa vast spectrum and hence, the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low.
The credit worthiness of the customers are assessed through a strong credit risk assessment policy of the Company. TheCompany's domestic sales operates primarily on a cash and carry / advance model and do not carry significant credit risk.The Company's credit period on export sales varies on case to case basis based on market conditions and are normallybacked by a letter of credit to cover the risk.
Cash and cash equivalents and other investments
In the area of treasury operations, the Company is presently exposed to counter-party risks relating to liquid funds andshort term and medium term deposits placed with public / private sector banks. The credit risk is limited considering thatthe counterparties are banks with high credit ratings and repute.
Government receivables
The credit risk on receivables from government agencies / authorities is nil considering the sovereign nature of the receivables.Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity isto ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal andstressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Typically theCompany ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financialobligations. In addition, the Company has concluded arrangements with well reputed banks, and has unused lines ofcredit that could be drawn upon, should there be a need. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits.
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities withagreed repayment periods. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments. Thecontractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies of USD, EUR and KRW.
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase in the INR against the relevant foreign currencies. 5%is the rate used in order to determine the sensitivity analysis considering the past trends and expectation of the managementfor changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes the outstanding foreign currencydenominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. Apositive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the INR increases 5% against the relevant currency.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the priceof a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreignexchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to allmarket risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company is exposedto market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk), interest rate risk and the market value of itsinvestments. Thus the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenuegenerating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
The Company's exposure in USD, Korean Won and other foreign currency denominated transactions mainly on import ofcomponents, royalty payments and export of vehicles gives rise to exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company adoptsnatural hedge strategy and discounting of export bills to minimize currency fluctuation risk. The appropriateness / adequacy
