33 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company''s risk assessment and management policies and processes. It is the Company''s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
(i) 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. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
a) Foreign Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) in United States Dollar (''USD''), Euro (''EUR''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Malaysian Ringgit (''MYR''), Swiss Franc (''SF''),Singapore dollar (''SGD'') Japan Yen (''JY'') , Canadian dollar (''CAD'') and borrowings in USD.
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. The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost and hence are 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. Further, the Company''s investments in deposits is with banks and electricity authorities and therefore do not expose the Company to significant interest rates risk. The company''s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose it to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company does not have any investments which are classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. Hence, the Company is not exposed to any price risk. ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Trade and other receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard, internal evaluation and individual credit limits. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements
The Company does not collect any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Other than trade receivables, the Company has no significant class of financial assets that is past due but not impaired.
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.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out by the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the management. In addition, the Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
iv) Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company''s performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company''s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on the maintenance of a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly. Selective hedging is used within the Company to manage risk concentrations at both the relationship and industry levels.

The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit
obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.
Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed
below:
(a) Asset volatility: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to current investment patterns in the economy; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The plan asset investments are subject to interest rate risk. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregate amount of risk exposure is maintained at a fixed range. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the investments. The Company intends to maintain the investment pattern in the continuing years.
(b) Changes in bond yields: A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans'' bond holdings.
(c) Life expectancy: The defined benefit obligation is to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the plans'' liabilities. This is particularly significant where inflationary increases result in higher sensitivity to changes in life expectancy.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 3 years (31 March 2022: 3 years).
Expected Contribution to the plan for the next annual period '' 92.96 millions.
(ii) The Company provides for accumulation of compensated absences by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of their unutilised compensated absences and utilise/encash them in future periods as per the Company''s policy.

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with Ind AS reflect conditions at 1 April 2016 (transition date) and 31 March 2017.
(iii) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entityâs choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions. The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
(iv) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable. Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of the financial assets accounted at amortized cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.
(v) Business combination
Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.
C. Notes to first-time adoption:
(I) Proposed dividend (including dividend distribution tax)
Under Indian GAAP, proposed dividends including dividend distribution tax (DDT) are recognized as a liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under Ind AS, a proposed dividend is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid. In the case of the Company, the declaration of dividend occurs after period end. Therefore, the liability of ''.26.60 Millions for the year ended on 31 March 2016 recorded for dividend has been derecognized against retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.
(ii) Government grant
Under Indian GAAP, government grants could be recognized under the capital approach or the income approach. However, Ind AS requires government grants to be recognized using the deferred income approach. The Company received a grant of ''.6.64 millions during the year ended 31 March 2017. Consequently, the capital work-in-progress and corresponding deferred grant income has increased by an equivalent amount.
(iii) 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 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its 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 different 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. On the date of transition, the net impact on deferred tax liabilities is of ''Nil (1 April 2016 : ''Nil).
(iv) Trade receivables
As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognizing the allowance for doubtful debts. Under Indian GAAP, the Company has created provision for impairment of receivables consists only in respect of specific amount for incurred losses. As per the management''s assessment, due to ECL model, there is no additional impact on the allowance for doubtful debts.
(v) Borrowings
Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognized in the profit or loss over the tenure of the borrowing as part of the interest expense by applying the effective interest rate method. Under Indian GAAP, these transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are amortized and charged to profit or loss thereon over the period of borrowings. There is no impact on borrowings, total equity and profit for the year on account of the aforesaid adjustment.
(vi) Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations
Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognized costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI. Thus, the employee benefit is reduced by Rs.8.38 Millions (corresponding tax impact of '' 2.90 Million has been considered) and remeasurement gains/ losses on defined benefit plans has been recognized in the OCI net of tax.
(vii) Retained earnings
Retained earnings as at 1 April 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.
(viii) Other comprehensive income
Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as âother comprehensive incomeâ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
(ix) Statement of cash flows
The transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS had no material impact on the statement of cash flows.
