Mar 31, 2025

The Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management
framework. The board of directors has established the risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and
monitoring the Company''s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.
The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set
appropriate limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Company, through its training and established
procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles
and obligations.

The nature of the Company''s business exposes it to a range of financial risks. These risks include:

(i) credit risk;

(ii) liquidity risk; and

(iii) market risk.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterpart will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the Company. As at March 31, 2025, the company''s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any
collateral held or other credit enhancements which will cause a financial loss to the group due to failure to discharge an
obligation by the counterparties and financial guarantees provided by the company arises from the carrying amount of
the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheet.
a. Cash and bank balance

Credit risk from balances/ fixed deposits banks is managed in accordance with the Company''s risk management
policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to each
counterparty. The limits are assigned based on corpus of investable surplus and corpus of the investment avenue.
The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s
potential failure to make payments. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk on account of deposits with
banks is as mentioned below -

(ii) Liquidity risk:

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for management of the company''s short, medium and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,
banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles
of financial assets and liabilities.

The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flow that is generated from
operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the current working capital
is sufficient to meet its current obligatory requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

As on 31 March 2025, the Company had a working capital of '' 4040.20 lakhs (as on 31 March 2024''5,735.03 lakhs)
including cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance of
'' 2,198.07 lakhs (as on 31 March 2024''5,000.18 lakhs).
The working capital of the Company for this purpose has been derived as follows:

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- 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. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control
market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

Market risk comprises of:

a. Interest rate risk

b. Foreign currency risk

Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.

a. 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. Since the Company does not have any financial instrument with variable interest
rates, it is not exposed to interest rate risk.

b. 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).
The foreign currency to which the Company is majorly exposed to are US Dollars, EURO and GBP.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EURO and GBP exchange
rates, with all other variables held constant -

equivalents, bank deposits and earmarked balances with banks amount to Rs. 2,119.40 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 where the
Company has assessed the counterparty credit risk.

Trade receivables amounting to Rs. 3,124.08 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 is valued at considering provision for allowance
under the expected credit loss method. This assessment is based on the likelihood of the recoveries from the customers in the
present situation. The Company closely monitors its customers who are going through financial stress and assesses actions
such as change in payment terms, recognition of revenue on collection basis etc., depending on severity of each case.

Basis this assessment, the allowance for doubtful trade receivables is considered adequate.

investment policy with regard to the assets of the fund.

cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

39. VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT SCHEME

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company had initiated the discussions with the workers for the Voluntary
Retirement Scheme (VRS). The Board of Directors in their meeting held on February 13, 2024 had approved the Voluntary
Retirement Scheme 2023-24 ("Scheme"). The Company had considered a provision of Rs. 321.08 lakhs and disclosed that as
an exceptional item in the Financial statements / results. 14 eligible employees opted for the scheme and their dues were paid
in April 2024.

The Company has developed a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the
transfer pricing legislation under section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management is of the opinion that its
international transactions are at arm''s length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial
statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

During the earlier years the Company has applied for Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) before the Central Board of Direct Tax
(CBDT) and Government of India for International Inter-company related party transactions with Associated Enterprises (AE).
The Company has entered into in APA agreement with CBDT dated 18 August 2021 for 5 years ended 31 March 2021.

The Company has also filed application for renewal of APA agreement for five years (FY 2021-22 to 2025-26) on 26 March
2021 and current tax working for FY 2024-25 is calculated based on the APA agreement signed on 18th August 2021 for 5
years ended 31 March 2021.

The Domestic Transfer Pricing Regulations as prescribed under section 92BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was introduced from
April 1, 2012. The Company has been consistently transacting with related parties on an Arm''s Length basis in accordance
with the Group Transfer Pricing Policy. The Company is of the opinion that there will be no significant changes to Arm''s length
price under determination in order to comply with the requirement of section 92BA of Income Tax Act. Hence, there will be
no material impact on the financial statements.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it might be impaired. The Company has identified a single cash generating unit ("CGU") based on the business.
The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The recoverable
value was determined by value in use in cases where there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the price at which
an orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under
current market conditions. In determining the value in use, cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior
management have been considered.

Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which
management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted average
cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections are considered for next 5 years and consider past
experience and represent management''s best estimate about future developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year period
are extrapolated using a 2% growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing
during the current year is 12%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation of recoverable amount to a change in key
parameters, based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the
CGU would decrease below its carrying amount other than the amount.

42. The Code on Social Security, 2020 (''Code'') relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits
received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on
which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the rules are yet to be framed. The Company will assess the
impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective
and the related rules are published.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company had initiated the discussions with the workers for the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). The Board of Directors in their meeting held on February 13, 2024 have approved the Voluntary Retirement Scheme 2023-24 ("Scheme").

40 Goodwill

Following is the summary of changes in carrying amount of goodwill:

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company has identified a single cash generating unit ("CGU") based on the business. The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The recoverable value was determined by value in use in cases where there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining the value in use, cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management have been considered.

Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections are considered for next 5 years and consider past experience and represent management''s best estimate about future developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 2% growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 12%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation of recoverable amount to a change in key parameters, based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount other than the amount.

b. Foreign currency risk

Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.

a. Interest rate risk

1. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Standards issued but not yet effective

4.1 New Accounting Standards yet to be adopted

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 has notified the following new Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') and amendments to Ind ASs which the Company has not applied as they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018:

Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard Ind AS 18 Revenue, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts when it becomes effective.

The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should 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. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

- Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

- Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract

- Step 3: Determine the transaction price

- Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

- Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ''control'' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer

The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of Ind AS 115 on accounting policies followed in its financial statements. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements in the period

of initial application is not reasonably estimable as at present. However as per the management assessment the impact is not expected to be significant.

Transition

The Company plans to apply Ind AS 115 using the cumulative effect method , with the effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 April 2018) in retained earnings. As a result, the Company will not present relevant individual line items appearing under comparative period presentation.

Ind AS 21 - The effect of changes in Foreign Exchanges rates

C. Risk Management Framework

The Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. The board of directors has established the risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities. The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Company, through its training and established procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The nature of the Company''s business exposes it to a range of financial risks. These risks include:

(i) credit risk;

(ii) liquidity risk; and

(iii) market risk.

(i) Credit risk:

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to '' 1,696.51 lakhs and '' 1,841.52 lakhs as of 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017, respectively. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in India and outside India. The management has established accounts receivable policy under which customer accounts are regularly monitored. The Company has a dedicated sales team which is responsible for collecting dues from the customer within stipulated period. The management reviews status of critical accounts on a regular basis.

On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss of trade receivables.

a) Expected credit loss assessment for trade receivables as at 31 March 2018, 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2016 :

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. Expected loss rates are based on average computed default rate based on historical analysis of trade receivables.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit loss for trade receivables -

(ii) Liquidity risk:

The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the current working capital is sufficient to meet its current obligatory requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

As on 31 March 2018, the Company had a working capital of Rs, 5,838.33 lakhs (as on 31 March 2017 Rs, 4731.79 lakhs, as on 1 April 2016 Rs, 3,359.60 lakhs) including cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance of Rs, 4,038.39 lakhs (as on 31 March 2017 Rs, 4,586.21 lakhs; as on 1 April 2016 Rs, 2,859.95 lakhs).

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

Market risk comprises of:

a. Interest rate risk

b. Foreign currency risk

Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.

a. 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. Since the Company does not have any financial instrument with variable interest rates, it is not exposed to interest rate risk.

b. 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). The foreign currency to which the Company is majorly exposed to are US Dollars and GBP

The Company has entered into derivative contracts to hedge its risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations. However, none of these contracts can be co-related on one to one basis against the underlying exposure. The forward sell contracts which are outstanding as at end of the year is as follows:

Excise duty is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an expense. This has resulted in an increase in the revenue from operations and expenses for the year ended 31 March 2017 by '' 571.51 lakhs. The total comprehensive income for the year ended and equity as on 31 March 2017 has remained unchanged.

ii Remeasurement of defined benefit plans

Under Ind AS, such remeasurement benefits relating to defined benefit plans is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) as per the requirements of Ind AS 19- Employee benefits. Consequently, the related tax effect of the same has also been recognized in OCI.

For the year ended 31 March, 2017, remeasurement of gratuity liability resulted in a net loss of '' 23.09 lakhs which has now been removed from employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized separately in Other Comprehensive Income. This has resulted in decrease in Employee benefits expense by '' 23.09 lakhs and loss in Other Comprehensive income by '' 23.09 lakhs for the year ended 31 March, 2017. Consequently, tax effect of the same amounting to '' 7.99 lakhs is also recognized separately in Other Comprehensive Income.

7. Employee benefits

Defined contributions plans

The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifying employees towards Provident Fund, Labour Welfare Fund and Superannuation Scheme , which are the defined contribution plans. The Company has no obligations other than to make the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as they accrue. The amount recognized as an expense towards defined contribution plans for the year for provident fund and superannuation scheme aggregated to INR 85.87 Lakhs (31 March 2017: INR 76.95 Lakhs).

8. Managerial Remuneration

9. Transfer Pricing

The Company has developed a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing legislation under section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The company has applied for Advanced Pricing Agreement (APA) in FY 2015-16, the period covered under rollback is from FY 2012-13 to FY 2015-16 and five year down the line i.e. from FY 2016-17 to 2020-21. Besides this the APA has a persuasive value on all open Transfer pricing litigations of past years.
