L. Financial risk management

The Company is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of financial instruments.

The Company''s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Company''s risk management framework. Treasury Management Team in the company takes appropriate steps to mitigate financial risks within the framework set by the top management. Derivative transactions are undertaken by a specialist team with appropriate skills and experience. Company do not trade in derivatives for speculation.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and non-current debt investments.

The Company regularly follow up the receivable to minimise losses arising from credit exposure from credit customers. Credit control assesses the credit quality of the customers, their financial position, past experience in payments and other relevant factors. Deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable scheduled banks.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

Trade receivables

The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Major Customers of the company are from Government Sector and Public Sector Companies, where credit risk is relatively low.

The management has established a system under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company''s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company''s review includes external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables based on factual information as on the Balance sheet date.

At 31 March 2023, the Company''s most significant customer, accounted for ''28603.00 Lakhs of the trade receivables carrying amount (31 March 2022: ''30682 Lakhs).

The movement in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are disclosed in Note No. 14

Any past due from Government Customers and those fully covered by guarantees or collaterals received are not tested for impairment.

The credit quality of the financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for doubtful trade receivables.

The Company has not received any collaterals for receivables as at reporting date.

The impairment loss allowance at 31 March 2023 related to several customers that have indication that they may not pay their outstanding balances. The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on the fact that major customers are Government department, PSUs and historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers'' credit ratings if they are available.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset, or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfill its commitments. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.

Liquidity risk is maintained at low levels through effective cash flow management, low borrowings and availability of adequate cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed internally by forecasts of the Company''s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, to fund scheduled investments and to comply with loan covenants.

To ensure continuity of funding, the Company primarily uses short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its ongoing working capital requirements needs. The Company has also availed various noncurrent facilities in the form of secured redeemable debentures, secured term loans, intercorporate loans against the Company''s guarantee and soft loans from the Government for expansion projects and construction and development of capital assets.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below details the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities. The contractual cash flows reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity / commodity prices - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the management.

The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk). The Company enters into forward derivative contracts to manage risks of loss arising due to foreign exchange exposure. During the year ended 31 March 2023, there was no change to the manner in which the Company managed or measured market risk.

Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from exposure to foreign currency movement that will impact the Company''s future cash flows and profitability in the ordinary course of business. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities from procuring or selling in foreign currencies and obtaining finance in foreign currencies.

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings and other payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.

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 investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company''s interest rate risk arises from borrowings and loans made. Borrowings availed at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate profile of the Company''s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Company is as follows.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Company does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

(vi) Equity and commodity price risk

Price risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities as a result of changes in market prices of investments. The Company has no exposure to changes in the quoted equity securities price risk as it has investments in unquoted equity instruments only. The Company does not invest in commodities and is not exposed to commodity price risk.

M. Capital Management

The Company strives 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 board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns and levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

!Total borrowings comprises of long-term borrowings, short-term borrowing and bank overdraft facilities.

2Cash and bank balances comprises of cash in hand, cash at bank and term deposits with banks excluding consortium member balances in ESCROW account, as disclosed under Note 15 (b) and balances with bank as unclaimed dividend.

N. Derivatives

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. These forward contracts are used to hedge foreign currency payables and other future transactions. However, these foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as qualifying hedge instruments and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, and are generally for a term of 3 months to 12 months.

The Company has following outstanding forward contracts as on:

31 March 2023: JPY Nil (INR Nil) [Previous Year - JPY Nil (INR Nil)]

Transfers between the fair value hierarchy

There were no transfers in either direction in the fair value hierarchy during the year 2021-22.

Financial risk management

The Company is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of financial instruments.

The Company''s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Company''s risk management framework. Treasury Management Team in the company takes appropriate steps to mitigate financial risks within the framework set by the top management. Derivative transactions are undertaken by a specialist team with appropriate skills and experience. Company do not trade in derivatives for speculation.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and non-current debt investments.

The Company regularly follow up the receivable to minimise losses arising from credit exposure from credit customers. Credit control assesses the credit quality of the customers, their financial position, past experience in payments and other relevant factors. Deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable scheduled banks.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

Trade receivables

The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Major Customers of the company are from Government Sector and Public Sector Companies, where credit risk is relatively low.

The management has established a system under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company''s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company''s review includes external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables based on factual information as on the Balance sheet date.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region was as follows.

At 31 March 2022, the Company''s most significant customer, accounted for ''30682.00 lakhs of the trade receivables carrying amount (31 March 2021: ''11100.95 Lakhs).

The movement in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are disclosed in Note No. 14

Any past due from Government Customers and those fully covered by guarantees or collaterals received are not tested for impairment.

The credit quality of the financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for doubtful trade receivables.

The Company has not received any collaterals for receivables as at reporting date.

The impairment loss allowance at 31 March 2022 related to several customers that have indication that they may not pay their outstanding balances. The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on the fact that major customers are Government department, PSUs and historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers'' credit ratings if they are available.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset, or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfill its commitments. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.

Liquidity risk is maintained at low levels through effective cash flow management, low borrowings and availability of adequate cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed internally by forecasts of the Company''s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, to fund scheduled investments and to comply with loan covenants.

To ensure continuity of funding, the Company primarily uses short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its ongoing working capital requirements needs. The Company has also availed various non-current facilities in the form of secured redeemable debentures, secured term loans, inter-corporate loans against the Company''s guarantee and soft loans from the Government for expansion projects and construction and development of capital assets.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below details the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities. The contractual cash flows reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity/commodity prices - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the management

The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk). The Company enters into forward derivative contracts to manage risks of loss arising due to foreign exchange exposure. During the year ended 31 March 2022, there was no change to the manner in which the Company managed or measured market risk.

(iv) Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from exposure to foreign currency movement that will impact the Company''s future cash flows and profitability in the ordinary course of business. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities from procuring or selling in foreign currencies and obtaining finance in foreign currencies.

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings and other payables in foreign

currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.

(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 investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Company does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

(vi) Equity and commodity price risk

Price risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities as a result of changes in market prices of investments. The Company has no exposure to changes in the quoted equity securities price risk as it has investments in unquoted equity instruments only. The Company does not invest in commodities and is not exposed to commodity price risk.

M. Capital Management

The Company strives 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 board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns and levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

Total borrowings comprises of long-term borrowings, short-term borrowing and bank overdraft facilities.

2Cash and bank balances comprises of cash in hand, cash at bank and term deposits with banks excluding consortium member balances in ESCROW account, as disclosed under Note 15 (b) and balances with bank as unclaimed dividend.

N. DerivativesDerivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. These forward contracts are used to hedge foreign currency payables and other future transactions. However, these foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as qualifying hedge instruments and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, and are generally for a term of 3 months to 12 months.

The Company has following outstanding forward contracts as on

31 March 2022: JPY Nil (INR Nil) [Previous Year - JPY Nil (INR Nil)]

31 March 2022: EUR Nil (INR Nil) [Previous Year - EUR Nil (INR Nil)]

L. Financial risk management

The Company is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of financial instruments.

The Company''s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Company''s risk management framework. Treasury Management Team in the company take appropriate steps to mitigate financial risks within the framework set by the top management. Derivative transactions are undertaken by a specialist team with appropriate skills and experience. Company do not trade in derivatives for speculation.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and non-current debt investments.

The Company regularly follow up the receivable to minimise losses arising from credit exposure from credit customers. Credit control assesses the credit quality of the customers, their financial position, past experience in payments and other relevant factors. Deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable scheduled banks.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

Trade receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Major Customers of the company are from Government Sector and Public Sector Companies, where credit risk is relatively low.

The management has established a system under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables based on factual information as on the Balance sheet date.

As at 31 March 2018, the Company’s most significant customer, accounted for ''6723.72 Lakhs of the trade receivables carrying amount (Previous Year - ''6346.78 Lakhs)

The movement in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are disclosed in Note No. 14.

Any past due from Government Customers and those fully covered by guarantees or collaterals received are not tested for impairment.

The credit quality of the financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for doubtful trade receivables.

The Company has not received any collaterals for receivables as at reporting date.

The impairment loss allowance at 31 March 2018 related to several customers that have indication that they may not pay their outstanding balances. The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on the fact that major customers are Government department, PSUs and historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers’ credit ratings if they are available.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset, or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfill its commitments. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Liquidity risk is maintained at low levels through effective cash flow management, low borrowings and availability of adequate cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed internally by forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, to fund scheduled investments and to comply with loan covenants.

To ensure continuity of funding, the Company primarily uses short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its on going working capital requirements needs. The Company has also availed various non-current facilities in the form of secured redeemable debentures, secured term loans, inter-corporate loans against the Company''s guarantee and soft loans from the Government for expansion projects and construction and development of capital assets.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below details the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities. The contractual cash flows reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity / commodity prices - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the management.

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk). The Company enters into forward derivative contracts to manage risks of loss arising due to foreign exchange exposure. During the year ended 31 March 2018, there was no change to the manner in which the Company managed or measured market risk.

Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from exposure to foreign currency movement that will impact the Company''s future cash flows and profitability in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities from procuring or selling in foreign currencies and obtaining finance in foreign currencies.

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings and other payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening / (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollars, Euro, Japanese Yen, the Pound and other currencies at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

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 investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.

(vi) Equity and commodity price risk

Price risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities as a result of changes in market prices of investments. The Company has no exposure to changes in the quoted equity securities price risk as it has investments in unquoted equity instruments only. The Company does not invest in commodities and is not exposed to commodity price risk.

M. Capital Management

The Company strives 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 board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns and levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

L. Financial risk management

The Company is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of financial instruments.

The Company’s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Company’s risk management framework. Treasury Management Team in the company take appropriate steps to mitigate financial risks within the framework set by the top management. Derivative transactions are undertaken by a specialist team with appropriate skills and experience. Company do not trade in derivatives for speculation.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and non-current debt investments.

The Company regularly follow up the receivable to minimise losses arising from credit exposure from credit customers. Credit control assesses the credit quality of the customers, their financial position, past experience in payments and other relevant factors. Deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable scheduled banks. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.

Trade receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Major Customers of the company are from Government Sector and Public Sector Companies, where credit risk is relatively low.

The management has established a system under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables based on factual information as on the Balance sheet date.

As at 31 March 2017, the Company’s most significant customer, accounted for Rs.6346.78 lakhs of the trade receivables carrying amount (31 March 2016: Rs.6305.00 lakhs, 1 April 2015: Rs.4449.00 lakhs).

The movement in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are disclosed in Note No. 14 Any past due from Government Customers and those fully covered by guarantees or collaterals received are not tested for impairment.

The credit quality of the financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for doubtful trade receivables.

The Company has not received any collaterals for receivables as at reporting date.

The impairment loss allowance at 31 March 2017 related to several customers that have indication that they may not pay their outstanding balances. The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on the fact that major customers are Government department, PSUs and historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers’ credit ratings if they are available.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset, or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfil its commitments. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Liquidity risk is maintained at low levels through effective cash flow management, low borrowings and availability of adequate cash. Cash flow forecasting is performed internally by forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, to fund scheduled investments and to comply with loan covenants.

To ensure continuity of funding, the Company primarily uses short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its ongoing working capital requirement needs. The Company has also availed various noncurrent facilities in the form of secured redeemable debentures, secured term loans, inter-corporate loans against the Company’s guarantee and soft loans from the Government for expansion projects and construction and development of capital assets.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities. The contractual cash flows reflect the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

(iii)Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity / commodity prices – will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the management. The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk). The Company enters into forward derivative contracts to manage risks of loss arising due to foreign exchange exposure. During the year ended 31 March 2017, there was no change to the manner in which the Company managed or measured market risk.

(iv) Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from exposure to foreign currency movement that will impact the Company’s future cash flows and profitability in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities from procuring or selling in foreign currencies and obtaining finance in foreign currencies.

1 As the foreign currency borrowing exposures are fully hedged, a strengthening or weakening of USD will have no impact on profit or loss or equity. At 31 March 2016, the Company had no exposure to foreign exchange risk on the above foreign currency borrowings, which has been repaid on the maturity date of 13 January 2017.

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings and other payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.

The Company operates domestically and is currently a party to borrowings in foreign currencies (USD) which is fully hedged through cross currency swaps until maturity. Foreign exchange risk also arises from future commercial transactions. To manage foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions, the Company may use forward contracts, transacted by the Company’s Treasury. The Company’s risk management policy is to fully hedge foreign currency exposures related to borrowings and to hedge foreign currency exposures relating to revenue, operating expenditure and capital expenditure over certain thresholds.

The Company has availed a foreign currency term loan which is fully hedged through cross currency swaps until maturity of the ECB.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Following is the information on derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk as on dates are as below:

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening / (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollars, Euro, Japanese Yen, the Pound and other currencies at 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

(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 investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings and loans made. Borrowings availed at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Company is as follows.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Company does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

(vi) Equity and commodity price risk

Price risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of assets and liabilities as a result of changes in market prices of investments. The Company has no exposure to changes in the quoted equity securities price risk as it has investments in unquoted equity instruments only. The Company does not invest in commodities and is not exposed to commodity price risk.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

M. Capital Management

The Company strives 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 board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns and levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

N. Derivatives

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. These forward contracts are used to hedge foreign currency payables and other future transactions. However, these foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as qualifying hedge instruments and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, and are generally for a term of 3 months to 12 months.

The Company has unhedged foreign currency exposure of Rs.13938.55 Lakhs (31 March 2016: Rs.2398.23 Lakhs, 01 April 2015: Rs.5160.06 Lakhs) for payables as at reporting date.

The Company has applied the principles of Ind AS 109 for the measurement of derivative financial instruments and has classified such derivative contracts as at fair value through profit or loss.

O. Transition to Ind AS

As stated in Note 2.1, these are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The transition to Ind AS has resulted in changes in the presentation of financial statements, disclosures in the notes thereto and accounting policies and principles.

The resulting difference between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements under both Ind AS and previous GAAP as of the transition date have been recognized directly in equity at the transition date.

(iii) Material adjustments to the statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2016

There are no material differences between the statement of cash flows presented under Ind AS and the statement of cash flows presented under previous GAAP.

(iv) Notes to reconciliation

a Property, plant and equipment

Under Ind AS, special tools have been recognised as property, plant and equipment since they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment as per Ind AS 16. This category of assets was classified as other non- current assets under previous GAAP. This reclassification has no impact on the total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2016 and on equity as at that date.

The carrying amount of special tools reclassified to property, plant and equipment on the transition date is Rs.397.35 Lakhs and as on 31 March 2016 Rs.424.21 Lakhs. The depreciation charge on special tools for the year ended 31 March 2016 Rs.255.44 Lakhs which was earlier presented as amortisation of special tools and classified as part of other expenses.

b Financial assets at amortised cost

Under Ind AS certain financial assets such as redeemable deposits receivable are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Under previous GAAP. such financial assets were carried at cost till maturity and interest, if any was accounted on the outstanding principal amount.

c Buyer’s credit facilities

The measurement of outstanding foreign currency buyer’s credit facility has to be restated at each reporting date for movements in the spot rate between the functional currency of the Company and the foreign currency. In accordance with Ind AS 21, such changes in spot exchange rates have to be recognised in profit or loss. The Company has entered into various forward contracts to hedge this currency exposure. According to Ind AS 109, all derivative financial instruments must be measured at each reporting date at fair value. Under previous GAAP, the buyer’s credit facility was measured at the forward rate of settlement of derivatives and such derivative instruments were not recognised.

d. Proposed dividend

Under previous GAAP, dividends proposed by Board of Directors after the reporting date but before the approval of financial statements were considered to be an adjusting event and accordingly recognised (along with related dividend distribution tax) as liabilities at the reporting date. Under Ind AS, dividends so proposed by the Board are considered to be a non-adjusting event. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend and dividend distribution tax recognised under previous GAAP has been reversed.

g. Employee benefits expense

Under Ind AS, the Company recognises all re-measurement gains and losses arising from post-retirement defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Under previous GAAP the Company recognised re-measurement gains and losses in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they occurred. At the date of transition, all previously recognised cumulative re-measurement gains and losses were recognised in retained earnings and hence, has no impact on equity as at the transition date. Re-measurement loss of Rs.1335.94 Lakhs has been presented in UCI tor the year ended 31 March 2016 and corresponding tax effect for such an adjustment was Rs.285.11 Lakhs.

h. Prior period adjustments

Prior period adjustments under previous GAAP were reported in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they were discovered. According to Ind AS 8, material prior period adjustments are required to be rectified retrospectively in the periods in which they occurred. On the date of transition to Ind AS, prior period errors of the effect of Rs.89.11 Lakhs were adjusted to opening retained earnings.

(v) First-time adoption exemptions

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has availed certain exemptions and exceptions in accordance with Ind AS 101 as explained below.

a) De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities:

The Company has applied the de-recognition criteria as per Ind AS 109 prospectively and has not recognised any previously derecognised non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities prior to 1 April 2015 that may qualify for recognition as per Ind AS.

b) Government loan:

The Company has applied the mandatory exception to account for the soft loan received from the Government of Kerala retrospectively by not measuring the carrying amount of the loan at fair value on the transition date. The loan is carried at the transaction value in accordance with Previous GAAP for each reporting period.

c) Deemed cost:

The Company has elected to apply the deemed cost exemption in Ind AS 101 whereby the Company has the option to carry all items and classes of property, plant and equipment on the date of transition to Ind AS as per the carrying amounts prevailing as per previous GAAP. Once this exemption is applied, no adjustment pertaining to property, plant and equipment on the date of transition for effects of retrospective application of other standards is made.

d) Leases:

The Company has evaluated leases of land and buildings separately and accounted for each element on the basis of the classification as per Ind AS 17 prospectively from 1 April 2015.

e) Designation of previously recognised financial instruments:

The Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.

f) Fair value of financial instruments:

The fair value of transactions entered into after the transition date qualifying as financial instruments is measured as such prospectively from 1 April 2015.

g) Impairment of financial assets:

The Company has adopted the exemption in the recognition of a loss allowance for financial assets with a significant increase in credit risk prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS since initial recognition such a determination would require undue cost or effort for retrospective application.
