The estimates of future salary increases have been considered in actuarial valuation after taking into consideration the impact of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand situation in the employment market. Accordingly, planned liabilities are typically exposed to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

38. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: (Refer Note 30) (Contd.)

The Gratuity Scheme is invested in group gratuity-cum-life assurance cash accumulation policy offered by Life Insurance Corporation of India. The gratuity plan is not exposed to any significant investment risk in view of absolute track record, investment as per IRDA guidelines and mechanism is there to monitor the performance of the fund.

The Company monitors capital structure on the basis of debt to equity ratio. For the purpose of Company''s capital management, equity includes paid up equity share capital and other equity, and debt comprises of long term borrowings including current maturities of these borrowings.

Fair Value Techniques:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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 following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, current loans, other current financial assets, short term borrowings and other current financial liabilities approximate to their carrying amount largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings and interest free SGST loan from government approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowings, fair value is determined by using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowings rate. Risk of non-performance for the Company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.

a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.

d) The fair values of mutual funds are at published Net Asset Value (NAV).

Fair Value Hierarchy

Quoted prices / published Net Asset Value (NAV) in an active markets (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and financial instruments like mutual funds for which NAV is published by mutual funds. This category consists mutual fund investments and exchange traded fund/ STRIPS issued by the Government of India.

Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company''s financial asset and financial liabilities grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

During the year ended 31^st March, 2023 and 31^st March, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements and no transfer into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. There is no transaction/ balance under level 3.

The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 categories above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties. Following table describes the valuation techniques used and key inputs to valuation for level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as at 31^stMarch, 2023 and 31^st March, 2022 respectively:

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, other than derivative, comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company''s operations. The Company has loans, trade and other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that arrive directly from its operations. The Company also holds fair value through profit or loss investments and enters into derivative transactions. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and the Risk Management Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below:

Market Risk and Sensitivity

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of currency rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and liabilities held as at 31^st March, 2023 and 31^st March, 2022.

The sensitivity analysis exclude the impact of movement in market variables on the carrying value of postemployment benefit obligations, provisions and on non- financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market rates. The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risk including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency and interest rate swaps of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuation and interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity

The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company has obtained foreign currency loans and has foreign currency payables for supply of fuel, raw material and equipment and is therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. The Company uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts to eliminate the currency exposures.

The impact on profit before tax is due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non-designated foreign currency derivatives.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity in the USD, JPY, EURO, GBP, CHF and AED to the Indian Rupee with all other variable held constant.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation 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) and from its investing activities including deposits with banks, mutual funds and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables

the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdiction and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

Financial Instruments and Cash Deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet is '' 9,651.77 crore as at 31^st March, 2023 and '' 9,698.51 crore as at 31^st March, 2022, which is the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, investments (other than equity investments in subsidiary), trade receivables, loans and other financial assets.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (i.e. trade receivables and other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit facility, bank loans and credit purchases.

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows (excluding transaction cost on borrowings) towards nonderivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:

Cash Flow Hedges

The objective of cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps is to hedge the cash flows of the foreign currency denominated debt related to variation in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The hedge provides for exchange of notional amount at agreed exchange rate of principle at each repayment date and conversion of variable interest rate into fixed interest rate as per notional amount at agreed exchange rate. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk arising from the forecasted purchases. Some of the forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company is following hedge accounting for cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps and some foreign currency forward contracts based on qualitative approach.

The Company is having risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking these hedge transactions. The Company has maintained adequate documents stating the nature of the hedge and hedge effectiveness test. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on following criteria:

i. An economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument

ii. The effect of credit risk

iii. Assessment of the hedge ratio

The Company designates cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps and some foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its currency and interest risk and generally applies hedge ratio of 1:1. Refer Note 21 for timing of nominal amount and contractual fixed interest rate of cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps.

All these derivatives have been marked to market to reflect their fair value and the fair value differences representing the effective portion of such hedge have been taken to equity.

The Company also enters into other forward contracts with intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of expected purchases.

Certain foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally within one year.

The gain/ (loss) due to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative contract, recognized in profit or loss is '' 4.29 crore for the year ended 31^st March, 2023 ('' (2.04) crore for the year ended 31^st March, 2022).

48. COLLATERALS

Inventory, Trade Receivables, Other Current Assets, Property, Plant and Equipment are hypothecated / mortgaged as collateral/security against the borrowings (Refer Note 21 and 24). Additionally, some of the fixed deposits and investments are pledged against working capital facilities.

54. FINANCIAL RATIOS (Contd.)

54.1 Current ratio as at 31^st March, 2023 has decreased as compared to as at 31^st March, 2022 due to increase in ''current maturities of long term borrowings'' & ''Loan repayable on demands from banks'' classified under ''current liabilities''.

54.2 '' Debt Service Coverage Ratio'', ''Return on Equity Ratio'', ''Net Profit Ratio'' and ''Return on Capital Employed'' has decreased due to increase in coal / petcoke prices which resulted into higher power and fuel expenses and increase in depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended 31^st March, 2023 as compared to year ended 31^st March, 2022.

55. The Company had detected an IT security incident on 28^th March, 2023 on its IT assets. The Company''s production facilities were not affected by the incident. However, the dispatches faced some difficulty, which were normalized in a day''s time. All the critical data have since been recovered and restored. As such, there is no material impact on the operations of the Company on account of the said incident. The Company has taken all necessary initiative to further strengthen its measures to deal with risks arising out of cyber security related incidents.

56. Previous year figures have been regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary.

Hence, the Company is not exposed for any interest rate risk due to foreign currency denominated floating interest rate as on 31^st March, 2022 and 31^st March, 2021. Following is the interest rate sensitivity for unhedged exposure of Indian Rupee denominated floating interest rate borrowing:

Foreign Currency Risk and Sensitivity

The impact on profit before tax is due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non-designated foreign currency derivatives.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity in the USD, JPY, EURO, GBP and CHF to the Indian Rupee with all other variable held constant.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivatives counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.

d) The fair values of mutual funds are at published Net Asset Value (NAV).

Fair Value Hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company''s financial asset and financial liabilities grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

46. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below:

Market risk and sensitivity

The sensitivity analysis exclude the impact of movement in market variables on the carrying value of postemployment benefit obligations, provisions and on non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market rates. The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risk including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency and interest rate swaps of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuation and interest rates.

Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company''s policy is to manage its floating interest rate foreign currency loans and borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps, in which the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount. Hence, the Company is not exposed for any interest rate risk due to floating interest rate as on March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

Foreign currency risk and sensitivity

The impact on profit before tax is due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non-designated foreign currency derivatives.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Credit risk

Trade receivables

Financial Instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet is '' 9,371.27 crore as at March 31, 2021 and '' 7,714.83 crore as at March 31, 2020, which is the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, investments (other than equity investments in subsidiary), trade receivables, loans and other financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (i.e. trade receivables, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit facility, bank loans and credit purchases.

Cash Flow Hedges

i. An economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument

ii. The effect of credit risk

iii. Assessment of the hedge ratio

All these derivatives have been marked to market to reflect their fair value and the fair value differences representing the effective portion of such hedge have been taken to equity.

The gain/ (loss) due to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative contract, recognised in the statement of profit and loss is '' (0.51) crore for the year ended March 31, 2021 ('' 1.38 crore for the year ended March 31, 2020)

48. COLLATERALS

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company also enters into other forward contracts with intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of expected purchases.

53. The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these financial results. The Company believes that pandemic is unlikely to impact on the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets as at March 31, 2021. Looking to the present situation of pandemic, the extent to which the same will impact Company''s future financial results is currently uncertain and will depend on further developments. The Company is taking all necessary measures to secure the health and safety of its employees, workers and their families.

54. Previous year figures have been regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary.

55. Figures less than '' 50,000 have been shown at actual, wherever statutorily required to be disclosed, as the figures have been rounded off to the nearest crore.

b) Long term fixed rate and variable rate receivables / borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rate, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowings, fair value is determined by using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowings rate. Risk of non- performance for the Company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.

c) The fair value of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters basis contractual terms, period to maturity and market parameters such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivatives counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.

d) The fair values of mutual funds are at published Net Asset Value (NAV).

Fair Value Hierarchy

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below.

Market risk and sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses excludes the impact of movement in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations, provisions and on non- financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market rates. The Company''s activities exposes it to a variety of financial risk including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency and interest rate swaps of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuation and interest rates. The Company has taken External Commercial Borrowings of USD 25 crore on 28.03.2018 for which there was no forward cover taken against the exposure of currency risk as on 31.03.2018. The Company has taken currency swaps for External Commercial Borrowings of USD 25 crore during the current year and designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt obligations and Buyer''s credit obligations with floating interest rates. There is no buyer''s credit outstanding as at 31.03.2019.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible changes in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the Company''s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Foreign currency risk and sensitivity

The Company has obtained foreign currency loans and has foreign currency payables for supply of fuel, raw material and equipment and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company uses cross currency swaps and forward currency contracts to eliminate the currency exposures.

The impact on profit before tax is due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non- designated foreign currency derivatives.

The following tables demonstrates the sensitivity in the USD, JPY, EURO, GBP and CHF to the Indian Rupee with all other variable held constant.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Credit risk

Trade receivables

Financial Instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet is Rs. 3,511.44 crore as at 31.03.2019 and Rs.6,363.80 crore as at 31.03.2018, which is the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, investments (other than equity investments in subsidiary), trade receivables, loans and other financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (i.e. trade receivables, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit facility, bank loans and credit purchases.

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows (excluding transaction cost on borrowings) towards non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:

Cross Currency & Interest Rate Swaps and Interest Rate Swaps

The objective of cross currency & interest rate swap and interest rate swaps is to hedge the cash flows of the foreign currency denominated debt related to variation in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The hedge provides for exchange of notional amount at agreed exchange rate of principle at each repayment date and conversion of variable interest rate into fixed interest rate as per notional amount at agreed exchange rate. The Company is following hedge accounting for cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps based on qualitative approach.

i. An economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument

ii. The effect of credit risk

iii. Assessment of the hedge ratio

The Company designates cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge its currency and interest risk and generally applies hedge ratio of 1:1. Refer Note 20 for timing of nominal amount and contractual fixed interest rate of cross currency & interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps.

All these derivatives have been marked to market to reflect their fair value and the fair value differences representing the effective portion of such hedge have been taken to equity.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

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. This is based on the financial assets and liabilities held as at 31.03.2017 and 31.03.2016.

The sensitivity analyses excludes the impact of movement in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations, provisions and on non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market rates. The companyâs activities exposes it to a variety of financial risk including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The company uses derivatives financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency and interest rate swaps of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuation and interest rates.

Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long term debt obligations and Buyerâs credit obligations with floating interest rates.

The Companyâs policy is to manage its floating interest rate loans and borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps, in which the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible changes in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the Companyâs profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Foreign currency risk and sensitivity

The company has obtained foreign currency loans and has foreign currency payables for supply of fuel, raw material and equipment and is therefore, exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company uses Cross Currency swaps and forward currency contracts to eliminate the currency exposures.

The impact on profit before tax is due to change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non- designated foreign currency derivatives.

The following tables demonstrates the sensitivity in the USD, JPY, EURO and GBP to the Indian Rupee with all other variable held constant.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instruments or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities including deposits with banks, mutual funds and financial institutions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdiction and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

Financial Instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet is Rs.4,824.76 crore as at 31.03.2017 and Rs.3,822.21 crore as at 31.03.2016, which is the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, investments (other than equity investments in subsidiary), trade receivables, loans and other financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (i.e. trade receivables, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operations. The Companyâs objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital loans, letter of credit facility, bank loans and credit purchases.

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:

24. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS

1. Basis of Preparation

These financial statements, for the year ended 31.03.2017, are the Companyâs first Ind-AS Financial Statements. For periods up to and including the year ended 31.03.2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with para 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).

Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind-AS applicable for periods ending on 31.03.2017, together with the restated comparative period data as at and for the year ended 31.03.2016, as described in the significant accounting policies and basis of preparation. In preparing these financial statements, the Companyâs opening balance sheet was prepared as at 01.07.2015 (i.e. transition date opening balance as at 01.07.2015), the Companyâs date of transition to Ind-AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statement, including the balance sheet as at 01.07.2015 and the financial statements as at and for the period ended 31.03.2016.

2. Exemptions applied

Ind AS 101- First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards allows first time adopters certain optional exemptions from the retrospective application of requirements under Ind AS. The Company has availed the benefit of and applied the following exemptions:

a) Ind AS 103 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisition of cement grinding unit, which are considered business under Ind AS that occurred before 01.07.2015. Use of this exemption means that the Indian GAAP carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, that are required to be recognized under Ind AS, is their deemed cost at the date of acquisition. After the date of acquisition, measurement is in accordance with respective Ind AS. Assets and liabilities that do not qualify for recognition under Ind AS are excluded from the opening Ind AS balance sheet. The Company did not recognize or exclude any previously recognized amounts as a result of Ind AS recognition requirement except goodwill which was adjusted as per Ind AS 101.

b) Carrying value of all Property, Plant and equipment and Intangible Assets as recognized in previous Indian GAAP financial is recognized as deemed cost at the transition date under Ind AS.

c) The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as cross currency and interest rate swaps, to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk. Under Indian GAAP, there is no mandatory standard that deals comprehensively with hedge accounting, which has resulted in the adoption of varying practices. The Company has designated various economic hedges and applied economic hedge accounting principles to avoid profit or loss mismatch. All the hedges designated under Indian GAAP also qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with Ind AS 109 on the transition date. Accordingly, the Company has applied the hedge accounting in accordance with Ind AS 109 and gain/loss are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income.

3. Estimates

The estimates at 01.07.2015 and 31.03.2016 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Indian GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies).

4. Footnotes to the reconciliation of equity as at 01.07.2015 and 31.03.2016 and Profit or loss for the nine months period ended 31.03.2016:

a) Financial Assets at Amortized Cost

Under Indian GAAP, the Company accounted for long term investments in bonds and debentures as investments measured at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of investments. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated these investments as financial assets measured at amortized cost. At the date of transition to Ind AS, difference between amortized cost and the Indian GAAP carrying value has been recognized in retained earnings. Subsequent to the date of transition to Ind AS, interest income has been recognized based on EIR method.

b) Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Under Indian GAAP, the Company accounted for long term investments in preference shares and mutual funds as investments measured at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of investments and current investments at lower of cost or market value. Under Ind AS, the Company has designated these investments as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Ind AS requires that investment designated at FVTPL, are measured at fair value. At the date of transition to Ind AS, difference between fair value and the Indian GAAP carrying value has been recognized in retained earnings. Subsequent to the date of transition to Ind AS, fair value gain or loss has been recognized to Statement of Profit and Loss.

c) Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair value of cross currency and interest rate swaps is recognized under Ind AS. Under Indian GAAP, there is no mandatory standard that deals with accounting of swaps, hence the same was not recognized. The swaps, which were designated as hedging instruments under Indian GAAP, have been designated as at the date of transition to Ind AS as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge. The corresponding adjustments have been recognized as a separate component of equity, under the effective portion of cash flow hedge reserve.

d) Defined Benefit liabilities

Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognized costs related to post employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire costs, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements (comprising of actuarial gains or losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income. Thus, the employee benefit cost is increased by Rs.5.32 crore and remeasurement gain on defined benefit plan has been recognized in the other comprehensive income, net of tax.

e) Provisions

Under Indian GAAP, the Company has accounted for provisions, including long term provisions, at the undiscounted amount. In contrast, Ind AS 37 requires that where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of provision should be the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate(s) should not reflect risk for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted. Ind AS 37 also provides that where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognized as borrowing cost. This led to a decrease in the provision for mines reclamation expenses on the date of transition by Rs.12.37 crore and which was adjusted to retained earnings.

f) Deferred Tax

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12-Income Taxes requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of asset or liability in the balance sheet and its corresponding tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.

In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.

MAT Credit entitlement is in the nature of deferred tax under Ind AS. Hence on transition to Ind AS MAT credit entitlement of Rs.95.87 crore as on 01.07.2015 and Rs.107.40 crore as on 31.03.2016 has been grouped under deferred tax assets from current tax assets.

g) Government Grants

Under Indian GAAP, Government grants in the nature of promoterâs contribution are recognized to capital reserve. Under Ind AS, all Government grants has to be recognized to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Accordingly, Government grants recognized to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Further, the government grants credited to capital reserve under erstwhile Indian GAAP have also been reclassified to retained earnings as per Ind AS 101 - First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards.

h) Sale of goods

Under Indian GAAP, sale of goods was presented as net of excise duty. However, under Ind AS, sale of goods includes excise duty. Excise duty on sale of goods is separately presented on the face of Statement of Profit and Loss accordingly, sale of goods under Ind AS for the Nine Months ended 31.03.2016 has increased by Rs.676.32 crore.

Under Ind AS cash discount and other sale incentives are required to be netted off from sale of products which was accounted as expenses under Indian GAAP. Hence sale of products is decreased by Rs.116.72 crore for the period ended 31.03.2016.

Under Ind AS when goods or services are exchanged or swapped for goods or services which are of a similar nature and value, the exchange is not regarded as a transaction which generates revenue. Thus sale of products and cost of material consumed has been decreased by Rs.21.20 crore for the period ended 31.03.2016.

i) Statement of Cash Flows

The impact of transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS on the Statement of Cash Flows is due to various reclassification adjustments recorded under Ind AS in balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and differences in the definition of cash and cash equivalents in Ind AS and Indian GAAP.

j) Borrowings

Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are charged upfront to Statement of Profit and Loss for the period/year. Under Ind AS, transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount of financial liability and charged to Statement of Profit and Loss using effective interest method.

k) Other Comprehensive Income

Under Indian GAAP, the company has not presented Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) separately. Hence it has reconciled Indian GAAP profit or loss to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Indian GAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

l) Proposed Dividend and Tax on Proposed Dividend

Under Indian GAAP, proposed dividends including tax on proposed dividend are recognized as liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of the approval by shareholders. Under Ind AS, proposed dividend is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the Company (when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid. Therefore, the proposed dividend and tax on proposed dividend of Rs.58.70 crore as on 01.07.2015 has been derecognized and recognized in 2015-16 on approval by shareholders and payment.
