(iii) Significant estimate: useful life of intangible assets
The useful life used to amortise intangible assets relates to the expected future performance of the assets and management's judgment of the period over which economic benefit will be derived from the asset.
Impairment assessment of Trade Marks and Technical Knowhow ('Intangible assets')
The impairment assessment has been performed for acquired Trade Marks and internally generated Technical Knowhow annually.
The recoverable amount of an intangible assets is based on its value in use. The value in use is estimated using discounted cash flows over a period of remaining useful life.
Operating margins and growth rates for the cash flow projections have been estimated based on past experience and after considering the financial budgets/ forecasts approved by the management. Other key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
These assumptions are reviewed annually as part of management's budgeting and strategic planning cycles. These estimates may differ from actual results. The values assigned to each of the key assumptions reflect the Management's past experience as their assessment of future trends, and are consistent with external / internal sources of information.
As at March 31, 2025 the estimated recoverable amount of the intangible assets exceeded its carrying amount and accordingly, no impairment is required to be recognized.
The Company has also performed sensitivity analysis calculations on the projections used and discount rate applied. Given the significant headroom that exists, and the results of the sensitivity analysis performed, it is concluded that there is no significant risk that reasonable changes in any key assumptions would cause the carrying value of intangible assets to exceed its value in use.
b) Defined Benefit Plans - Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan (funded). The Company's defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.
The fund is managed by a trust which is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity was carried out as at March 31,2025 by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
The principal assumptions used in determining gratuity and leave encashment for the Company's plan are shown below Description of risk exposures
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of predetermined assumptions and other regulatory frame work which may vary overtime. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest rate risk
A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Security Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Concentration Risk
Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default will wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to follow regulatory guidelines.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
Mortality risk
Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Asset liability matching risk
The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
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.

b) Significant estimate:
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the Company. Where the potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably, we treat them as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, we do not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on our financial position or profitability.
26 Commitments a) Capital commitments
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for ' 158 lakhs [March 31, 2024'1,611 lakhs] (net of capital advances of ' 50 lakhs [March 31, 2024'151 lakhs]).
28 Financial risk management
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports to the Board of Directors on its activities. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit.
i. Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables and other financial assets. The credit risk relates to the certain items is as follows : "
Trade receivables
TheCompany'sexposuretocreditriskisinfluencedmainlybytheindividualcharacteristicsofeachcustomer.Thedemographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments etc.) and applying experienced credit judgment. Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macroeconomic indicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change, the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue. The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model (under simplified approach) for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
Cash and cash equivalents
As at the year end, the Company held cash ' 2,870 lakhs (March 31,2024 - ' 1,972 lakhs). The cash counterparties are banks with good credit rating.
Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents
As at the year end, the Company held Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents ' 11,091 lakhs (March 31, 2024 - ' 1,675 lakhs). Other bank balances are held with bank and financial institution counterparties are banks with good credit rating.
Other financial assets
a) Other financial assets which include rent deposits, loans to employees and insurance claim receivable for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, accordingly the expected probability of default is low.
e) Significant estimates and judgments Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting.
ii. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within twelve months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
iii. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Company uses derivative to manage market risk.
iv. Currency Risk
The company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the company uses derivative instrument, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions. The company enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/receivables.
v. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates."
29 Capital Management:
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances.
In order to achieve the overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the banks/lenders to immediately call loans and borrowings. There are no interest bearing loans and borrowings in the current year and hence there have been no breaches in the financial covenants in respect of same.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1 Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, trade receivables, other current financial assets, trade payables, other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2 The amount of fair value of loans to employee and security deposits given and taken is considered to be insignificant in value and hence carrying value and fair value is considered as same.
3 Significant estimates
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
4 The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
5 Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
31 Segment information
a) Description of segments and principal activities

There was no casualty or loss of human life in this incident. The assets impacted due to the fire incident are adequately covered under an insurance policy. The Company has performed a comprehensive analysis of the estimated loss arising on account of the fire incident for majority of the assets impacted by the fire and accordingly submitted a provisional insurance claim for the estimated loss. The insurance company has admitted the claim and has also released two tranches of interim payment aggregating ' 850 lakhs. Based on such assessment, the Company has recognised an initial loss of ' 2,483 lakhs and a corresponding credit of the two tranches of interim payment of ' 850 lakhs resulting in net initial loss of ' 1,633 lakhs and the same has been presented as an exceptional item in the financial statements. The final amount of the approved claim from the insurance company will be determined based on the completion of the restoration activity of the said block, and net gain/loss, if any, would be accounted for in FY 2025-26.
