(k) Provisions and ContingenciesProvisions
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofpast event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised asprovision is determined based on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balancesheet date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current bestestimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate thatreflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company froma contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision ismeasured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expectednet cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes anyimpairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed bythe occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Companyor a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is aliability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognizea contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. If the inflow of economic benefits is probable,then it is disclosed in the financial statements.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheetdate.
(l) Employee Benefits(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settledwholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related serviceare recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measuredat the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for compensated absences that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 monthsare measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of servicesprovided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions arerecognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not haveany unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period,regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity and
(b) defined contribution plans such as superannuation scheme, provident fund.
Gratuity Obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value ofplan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unitcredit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated futurecash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bondsthat have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.
Defined Contribution plans
Defined Contribution Plans such as superannuation scheme, provident fund are charged to thestatement of profit and loss as an expense, when an employee renders the related services. If thecontribution payable to scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds thecontribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as liability after deductingthe contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for servicesreceived before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset.
(m) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chiefoperating decision maker. The chief operational decision maker monitors the operating results of its businessSegments separately for the purpose of making decision about the resources allocation and performance
assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on the profit or loss and is measured consistentlywith profit or loss in the financial statements. The operating segments have been identified on the basis of thenature of products/ services.
(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash onhand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of threemonths or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificantrisk of changes in value.
(o) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and taxis adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or futurecash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Companyare segregated based on the available information.
(p) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company.
• by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to takeinto account:
• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and
• the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assumingthe conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(q) Non-current assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recoveredprincipally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Such non-current assets classified as held forsale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any expected loss isrecognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The criteria for “held for sale” classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable i.e.an active program to locate a buyer to complete the plan has been initiated and the asset is available forimmediate sale in its present condition and the assets must have actively marketed for sale at a price thatis reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate thatit is unlikely that significant changes to that plan to sale these assets will be made. Management must becommitted to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within oneyear from the date of classification.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated oramortised. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in thebalance sheet.
(r) Dividend distribution to equity shareholders
Dividend distributed to Equity shareholders is recognised as distribution to owners of capital in the Statementof Changes in Equity, in the period in which it is paid.
Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interimdividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
(s) Foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (Rs.), which is Company's functional and presentationcurrency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction dates.Realised gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the statement ofprofit and loss.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at the year-end are translated at the year-end exchange ratesand the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(t) Revenue Recognition
The Company mainly deals in manufacture of special alloy steel/ stainless steel, billets, bars, rods, wirerods, EOT cranes, material handling equipment, other industrial machinery, rendering of comprehensiveengineering services and construction engineering services.
Revenue is recognized on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised goodsor services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which Company expects to receive inexchange for those products or services.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volumediscounts, rebates, scheme allowances, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in thecontracts with the customers. Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.
Revenue from sale of products and services is recognised at a time when the performance obligation issatisfied except Revenue from Engineering Contracts wherein revenue is recognized over the time from thefinancial year in which the agreement to sell (containing salient terms of agreement to sell) is executed. Theperiod over which revenue is recognised is based on entity's right to payment for performance completed.
In determining whether Company has right to payment, the Company shall consider whether it would havean enforceable right to demand or retain payment for performance completed to date if the contract were tobe terminated before completion for reasons other than Company's failure to perform as per the terms of thecontract.
The revenue recognition of Engineering Contracts under progress requires forecasts to be made of totalbudgeted costs with the outcomes of underlying contracts, which further require assessments and judgementsto be made on changes in scope of work and other payments to the extent they are probable and theyare capable of being reliably measured. However, where the total project cost is estimated to exceed totalrevenues from the project, the loss is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
Revenue from Engineering Contracts where the performance obligations are satisfied over time andwhere there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per thepercentage of completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability,revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Revenues in excess of invoicing areclassified as contract assets (which is referred to as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenuesare classified as contract liabilities (which is referred to as unearned revenues). The billing schedules agreedwith customers include periodic performance based payments and / or milestone based progress payments.Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.
Engineering Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification andrequirements. The Company reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basiswhich the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation or transaction price of anexisting obligation could undergo a change. In the event, transaction price is revised for existing obligation, acumulative adjustment is accounted for.
The Company satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the followingcriteria is met:
1. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company'sperformance as the Company performs; or
2. The Company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset iscreated or enhanced; or
3. The Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company andCompany has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
In case of performance obligations, where any of the above conditions is not met, revenue is recognised at the pointin time at which the performance obligation is satisfied.
Export incentives:
Export Incentives under various schemes are accounted in the year of export.
Interest Income:
Interest income accrues on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effectiveinterest rate applicable.
Dividend Income:
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive the payment hasbeen established.
(u) Exceptional Items:
Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so toprovide further understanding of the financial performance of the Company. These are material items ofincome or expense that have to be shown separately due to the significance of their nature or amount.
(v) Events after the reporting period:
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reportingperiod. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorisation for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reportingperiod. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted but disclosed.
(w) Business combination:
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using thepooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest method, the assets and liabilities of the combining entitiesor businesses are reflected at their carrying amounts after making adjustments necessary to harmonise theaccounting policies. The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restatedas if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financialstatements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. The identity of the reserves is preserved inthe same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor and the difference, if any,between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cashor other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve.
(x) Significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions:
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management tomake judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assetsand liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertaintyabout these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to thecarrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable underthe circumstances existing when the financial statements were prepared. The estimates and underlyingassumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the yearin which the estimates are revised and in any future year affected.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the followingjudgements which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:
Determination of the estimated useful life of tangible assets and the assessment as to which componentsof the cost may be capitalised. Useful life of tangible assets is based on the life specified in Schedule IIof the Act and also as per management estimate for certain category of assets. Assumption also needsto be made, when Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components ofthe cost of the assets may be capitalised.
ii. Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition:
• The Company's contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple productsand services to a customer. The Company assesses the products / services promised in acontract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinctperformance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of thecustomer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
• The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfiedat a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as howcustomer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is beingcreated or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate useof such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptanceof delivery by the customer, etc.
• Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction pricecould be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elementssuch as volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions andincentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if thecontract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customeris adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service fromthe customer.
• Revenue from Engineering Contracts is recognised using percentage-of-completion method.The Company uses judgement to estimate the future cost-to-completion of the contracts which isused to determine the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
iii. Fair value measurement of financial instruments:
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannotbe measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using appropriatevaluation techniques. The inputs for these valuations are taken from observable sources wherepossible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values.Judgements include considerations of various inputs including liquidity risk, credit risk, volatility etc.Changes in assumptions/ judgements about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financialinstruments.
iv. Defined benefit plan:
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and the present valueof the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involvesmaking various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexitiesinvolved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive tochanges in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
v. Allowances for uncollected accounts receivables:
Trade receivables are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimatedirrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems themnot collectable. Impairment is made on the expected credit loss model, which are the present value ofthe cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets. The impairment provisions for financialassets are based on assumption about the risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement inmaking these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on pasthistory, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reportingperiod.
vi. Allowance for inventories:
Management reviews the inventory age listing on a periodic basis. This review involves comparison ofthe carrying value of the aged inventory items with the respective net realizable value. The purpose isto ascertain whether an allowance is required to be made in the financial statements for any obsoleteand slow-moving items. Management satisfies itself that adequate allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories has been made in the financial statements.
vii. Impairment of non-financial assets:
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset'srecoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Units (CGU's) fair value less costsof disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does notgenerate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or a group of assets.Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value usingpre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risksspecific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions aretaken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
viii. Contingencies:
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect ofcontingencies/ claim/ litigation against Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pendingmatters with accuracy.
ix. Leases:
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with anyperiods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or anyperiods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. TheCompany has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Companyapplies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option torenew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentivefor it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Companyreassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within itscontrol and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g.,construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).
x. Provision for income tax and deferred tax assets:
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgetedprofits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, includingamount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A deferred tax asset is recognisedto the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductibletemporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused
tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the lossescan be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferredtax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies. Accordingly, the Company exercises its judgement toreassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.

2 Sensitivity analysis method
Sensitivity analysis is performed by varying a single parameter while keeping all the other parametersunchanged. Sensitivity analysis fails to focus on the interrelationship between underlying parameters.Hence, the results may vary if two or more variables are changed simultaneously. The method used doesnot indicate anything about the likelihood of change in any parameter and the extent of the change if any.
Notes:
a) The rate used to discount post employment benefit obligations is determined by reference to marketyields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
b) The estimates of future salary increases considered in the actuarial valuation take account of inflation,seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
c) The gratuity fund is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India and details of fund invested byinsurer are not available with Company.
d) The Company expects to make a contribution of Rs. 6.00 Crore to the defined benefit plans (gratuity -funded) during the next financial year.
e) The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 6 years.Risk exposure
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatoryframe work which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing theabove gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interestrates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result inan increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts.This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holdingof illiquid assets not being sold in time.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumptionof salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in futurefor plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligationwill have a bearing on the plan's liability
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation ofthe liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse comparedto the assumptions.
Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment ofGratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time) and Company's Schemes for different category ofemployees. There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts.
Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared toduration of assets, exposing the Company to the market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected returnon any particular investment.
B. Measurement of fair value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
a) The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, deposits, other receivables, cash andcash equivalent including other current bank balances and other liabilities including deposits,creditors for capital expenditure, etc. are considered to be the same as their fair values, due tocurrent and short term nature of such balances.
b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company basedon parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Basedon this evaluation, allowances if required, are taken to account for expected losses of thesereceivables.
c) The fair value of the Equity Investments which are quoted, are derived from quoted market pricesin active market.
d) The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (‘NAV') asstated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheetdate. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and theprice at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above have been classified into three categoriesdepending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority toquoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowestpriority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includeslisted equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instrumentswhich are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determinedusing valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little aspossible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument areobservable, 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 instrumentis included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
(47) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The process of identification and evaluation of various risks inherent in the business environment and theoperations of the Company and initiation of appropriate measures for prevention and/or mitigation of thesame are dealt with by the concerned operational heads under the overall supervision of the ManagingDirector of the Company. The Audit Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and efficacy of the overallrisk management system. The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to planand execute its business strategies. The Company has in place adequate Internal Financial Controls withreference to financial statements and such internal financial controls are operating effectively. The Companyhas adopted policies and procedures for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, includingadherence to the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of fraudsand errors, accuracy and completeness of accounting records and timely preparation of reliable financialstatements.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financialinstrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's tradeand other receivables. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit riskexposure.
i Trade and Other receivables
The Company is recording the allowance for expected credit losses for all financial assets not held atFVTPL,togetherwithloancommitmentsandfinancialguaranteecontracts,(inthissectionallreferredto as ‘financial instruments'). Equity instruments are not subject to impairment under IND AS 109.The ECL allowance is based on:
a) 12 months' expected credit loss (12mECL) where there is no significant increase in creditrisk since origination and;
b) on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected creditloss or LTECL).
The 12mECL is the portion of LTECL that represents the ECL that results from defaultevents on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reportingdate.Both LTECL and 12mECL are calculated on individual and collective basis, dependingon the nature of the underlying financial assets. The Company has established a policyto perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financialinstrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.
Based on the above process, the Company groups its Financial assets into Stage 1, Stage2, Stage 3, as described below:
Stage 1 : When financial assets are first recognised, the Company recognises an allowancebased on 12mECL. Stage 1 loans also include facilities where the credit risk has improvedand the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2 or Stage 3.
Stage 2: When a financial assets has shown a significant increase in credit risk sinceorigination, the company records an allowance for the LTECL. Stage 2 financial assets,where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 3.Stage 3: Loans considered credit-impaired. The Company records an allowance for theLTECL.
iii Cash and bank balances
The Company held cash and cash equivalent and other bank balance of Rs. 19.50 crores atMarch 31,2026 (March 31,2025: Rs 25.60 crores). The same are held with banks having goodcredit rating.
B Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with itsfinancial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach tomanaging liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities whenthey are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or riskingdamage to the Company's reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents onthe basis of expected cash flows.
Maturities of financial liabilities
A The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. Theamounts are gross and undiscounted.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk), will affectthe company's income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market riskexposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
D Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in marketinterest rates relates primarily to the Company's long term debt obligation at floating interest rates.The company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject tointerest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flowswill fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
a Interest rate risk exposure
The exposure of the Company's borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting periodare as follows:
E Foreign Exchange Risk:
Foreign exchange risk arises on future commercial transcations and on all recognised monetary assetsand liabilities, which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.The Company's management has set a policy wherein exposure is identified, a benchmark is setand monitored closely and accordingly suitable hedges are taken. The Company's foreign currencyexposure arises mainly from foreign exchange imports and exports primarily with respect to USD andEURO. Additionally, there are transaction which are entered into in other currencies are not significantin relation to total volume of the foreign currency exposures.
