37 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include inventory, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and refundable deposits that derive directly from its operations.The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity/ real estate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and refundable deposits. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt and the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt.The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post retirement obligations; provisions.The below assumption has been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

Interest rate risk

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 exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily

to the Company''s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. The Company does not enter into any interest rate swaps.

Interest rate sensitivity

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

b) 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 credit risk arises principally from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.

Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. The collection from the trade receivables are monitored on a continuous basis by the receivables team.

The Company establishes an allowance for credit loss that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables based on the past and the recent collection trend. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to Rs. 92,844,422 (March 31,2017 : 297,785,516 ; April 1, 2016: 330,342,789). The movement in allowance for credit loss in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was as follows:

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the revenue as of March 31,2018, March 31,2017 and April 1,2016. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalent is limited as the Company generally transacts with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.

c) Liquidity risk

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank deposits and loans.The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company''s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

39 Explanation on transition to Ind AS

As stated in Note 2.1, these are the first standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company had prepared its standalone financial statements in accordance with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 notified under section 133 of the Act and other relevant provision of the Act (''Previous GAAP''). For the purpose of transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS, the Company has followed the guidance prescribed under Ind AS 101-First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS-101"), with effect from April 1,2016 (''transition date'').

The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied in preparing these standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,2018 including the comparative information for the year ended March 31,2017 and the opening standalone Ind AS Balance Sheet on the date of transition i.e. April 1, 2016

In preparing its Standalone Ind AS Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2016 and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in Standalone financial statement prepared in accordance with the Previous GAAP. This note explains how the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company''s financial position and financial performance.

A. Mandatory exceptions to retrospective application

The Company has applied the following exceptions to the retrospective application of Ind AS as mandatorily required under Ind AS 101 "First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards".:

1) Estimates:

As per Ind AS 101, an entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the Previous GAAP unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.As per Ind AS 101, where application of Ind AS requires an entity to make certain estimates that were not required under Previous GAAP, those estimates should be made to reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition (for preparing opening Ind AS balance sheet) or at the end of the comparative period (for presenting comparative information as per Ind AS).The Company''s estimates under Ind AS are consistent with the above requirement. Key estimates considered in preparation of the standalone financial statements that were not required under the Previous GAAP are listed below:- Impairment of financial assets based on the expected credit loss model.- Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortised cost.

2) 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 amortised 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 amortised cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.

B. Optional exemptions from retrospective application

Ind AS 101 "First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards" permits Companies adopting Ind AS for the first time to take certain exemptions from the full retrospective application of Ind AS during the transition. The Company has accordingly on transition to Ind AS availed the following key exemptions:

1) Property, plant and equipment:

The Company has elected to treat carrying values of Previous GAAP as deemed cost for all items of its property, plant and equipment.

2) Business combination:

Ind AS 101, provides the option to apply Ind AS 103, Business Combinations ("Ind AS 103") prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date.The Company has elected to apply Ind AS 103 from transition date. Accordingly, business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.

The following reconciliation provide the effect of transition to Ind AS from Previous GAAP in accordance with Ind AS 101:

40 Standards issued but not effective

The standards issued, but not effective up to the date of issuance of the financial statements is disclosed below: Ind AS 115 - Revenue from contracts with customers

In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 115, ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'', which is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. This comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance, and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange

for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

Ind AS 115 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company intends to adopt Ind AS 115 effective April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of Ind AS 115 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company''s recognition of revenues.

Other amendments to Indian Accounting Standards

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, issued certain amendments to Ind AS. The amendments relate to the following standards:

Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates - The amendment lays down the principle regarding advance payment or receipt of consideration denominated or priced in foreign currency and recognition of non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability.

Ind AS 12, Income Taxes - The amendment explains that determining temporary differences and estimating probable future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences are assessed for utilization are two separate steps and the carrying amount of an asset is relevant only to determining temporary differences.

Ind AS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - The amendment clarifies when a venture capital, mutual fund, unit trust or similar entities elect to initially recognize the investments in associates and joint ventures.

Ind AS 112, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities-The amendment clarifies that disclosure requirements for interests in other entities also apply to interests that are classified as Held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with Ind AS 105.

Ind AS 40, Investment Property - The amendment clarifies when a property should be transferred to / from investment property.

The amendments are effective 1 April 2018. The Company believes that the aforementioned amendments will not materially impact the financial position, performance or the cash flows of the Company.

The figures of the previous year have been regrouped/reclassified, where necessary, to conform with the current year''s classification.
