50. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The Company's financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, loans, trade receivables and other receivables.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

a) Credit Risk

b) Liquidity Risk

c) Market Risk

Risk management Framework:

The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishment of the Company's risk management framework. The Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies, under the guidance of the Audit Committee. The Management identifies, evaluates and analyses the risks to which the Company is exposed to and set appropriate mitigation measures and controls to monitor such risk and adherence to limits.

The Management periodically reviews its risk policy and systems to assess need for changes in the policies to adapt to the changes in the market conditions and align the same to the business of the Company. The Management, through its interaction and training to concerned employees, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which concerned employees understand their roles and obligations. The Audit Committee oversees how the Management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks to which the Company is exposed. The Audit Committee is assisted in its role by the internal auditor, wherever required. Internal auditor undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

Credit risk is the risk that a 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, mutual funds and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit standards and financial strength. The Company's exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the several counterparties.

Credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited, and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the reputed credit rating agencies.

As regards, credit risk for investment in mutual funds, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk by majorly investing mainly in debt schemes issued by the mutual funds, wherein the fund manager invests assets under the Management in highly rated instruments, which are of high credit ranking from rating agency like CRISIL or the equivalent rating agency. The Company monitors changes in credit risk by tracking published external credit ranking. Based on its on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company adjusts its exposure to various counterparties from time to time.

Credit risk from trade receivables is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are mainly from stockist, distributors and direct customers, and are mostly non-interest bearing. Trade receivables generally ranges from 30 days to 180 days credit term. Credit limits are established for customers based on internal criteria and any deviation in credit limit require approval of Head of the Department depending upon the quantum and overall business risk. Majority of the customers have been doing business with the Company for more than 3 years, and they are being monitored by individual business managers who deals with those customers. The Management monitors trade receivables on regular basis and takes suitable action, where needed, to control the receivables crossing set criterias/limits. Also, in case of international business, particularly new customers, the Management reviews the business risk by evaluating economic situation of the country and the customers, and generally starts the relation either on advance payment or on the basis of confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.

The Management does an impairment analysis at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. Further, the Company's customer base is widely distributed both economically as well as geographically and, in view of the same, the quantum risk also gets spread across wide base, and hence, the Management considers risk with respect to trade receivable as low. Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, ? 5,281.97 lakhs (previous year ? 3,406.33 lakhs) is due from 3 related parties and no due in current year (previous year ? 8,703.42 lakhs) is in excess of 10% of total trade receivables.

For trade receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company determines credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company's objective is to, at all times, maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short-term, medium-term and long-term funding, and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash or cash equivalent available to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. Working capital requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated funds. Trade receivables are kept within manageable levels. The Company aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other highly marketable debt investments at an amount in excess of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities over the next three to six months.

c) 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 conditions. Market risk comprises three types of risks:

i. Interest Rate Risk;

ii. Currency Risk; and

iii. Equity Price Risk.

Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, investments, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial instruments.

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

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 has not used any interest rate derivatives.

During the financial year, the company successfully repaid all its term loans, resulting in a zero-debt position as of the year end.

ii) Foreign Currency Risk:

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Primarily, the exposure in foreign currencies are denominated in USD, EURO, RUBLE, AED, GBP, CAD and AUD. At any point of time, the Company covers foreign currency risk by taking appropriate percentage of its net foreign currency exposure by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts on Anticipated Exposure basis, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated other than in USD, EURO, RUBLE, AED, ZAR and AUD, the Company's policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances.

All such hedged transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the risk management committee. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

impact of Hedging Activities:

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the foreign currency risk of highly probable sales. Such derivative financial instruments are governed by the Company's policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such instruments consistent with the Company's risk management strategy. As the value of the derivative instrument generally changes in response to the value of the hedged item, the economic relationship is established.

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessment to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instruments. It is calculated by comparing changes in fair value of the hedged item, with the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments.

If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item, so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

Details of Hedged Exposure in Foreign Currency Denominated Monetary items:

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposure relating to the underlying transactions based on anticipated exposure. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purpose.

The Company is mainly exposed to changes in USD, EURO, RUBLE, AED, CAD and AUD. The below table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 1% increase or decrease in the USD, EURO, RUBLE, AED, CAD and AUD against INR, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 1% represents the Management's assessment of reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rate.

The Company does not have any material exposure to equity price risk, as there is no major investment in equity, except in its own subsidiaries, and accordingly, exposure to risk of changes in price is very low.

51. CAPiTAL MANAGEMENT

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to safeguard the Company's ability to remain as a going concern and to maintain optimal capital structure, so as to maximise shareholder's value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions, annual operating plans and long term and other strategic investment plans. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or buy back of shares. The current capital structure of the Company is equity based with low financing through borrowings. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement.

54. UNFORESEEABLE LOSSES

The Company has a process whereby periodically all long-term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company did not have any long-term contracts (including derivative contracts) for which there were any material foreseeable losses.

55. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Dividend:

The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ? 7/- per fully paid-up equity shares (face value of ? 1/-each) amounting to ? 10897.40 lakhs for the financial year 2024-25, which is based on the relevant share capital as on March 31, 2025. The actual dividend amount will be dependent on the relevant share capital outstanding as on record date/book closure. The recommended dividend is subject to the approval of shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company.
