b. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk ;
• Liquidity risk ; and
• Market risk
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 have authorized senior management to establish the processes, who ensures that executive management controls risks through the mechanism of properly defined framework.
The Company has in place Risk Management Process for identifying / managing risks. The Company’s Risk Management Framework helps in identifying risks and opportunities that may have a bearing on the organization’s objectives, assessing them in terms of likelihood and magnitude of impact and determining a response strategy. The risk management process consists of risk identification, risk assessment, risk monitoring & risk mitigation.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are generally unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India. The Company continuously monitors the economic environment in which it operates. The Company manages its Credit risk through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
During the period of operation of engineering business before lockout dated October 22, 2019. The average credit period on sales of goods and services (other than moulds) within India is 30 to 60 days, sale of moulds is 180 days and sales of goods and services outside India is 30 to 90 days. Majority of trade receivables are from customers, which are fragmented and are not concentrated to individual customers. Trade receivables are generally realised within the credit period.
# The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
(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. 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 fallen due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company’s liquidity management process as monitored by management, includes the following:
- Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met.
- Maintaining rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows.
-Maintaining diversified credit lines.
Note: The contractual maturity of financial liabilities includes the interest accrued as on the reporting date.
* It includes Rs. 5,000/- lakh received by the Company under joint development agreement dated 11th August, 2022. (Refer note 36).
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the functional currency and other currencies from the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities.
Company is not dealing in foreign currency then not exposure to foreign currency
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 investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
The Company’s investment in fixed deposits are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Further, there are no borrowing outstanding as on the balance sheet date, which has interest rate risk.
45. Capital management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the management of the Company’s capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, raise new debt or issue new shares.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt to capital ratio, which is calculated as interest-bearing debts adjusted with available cash and bank balances divided by total capital (equity attributable to owners of the Company). Since the Company does not have borrowing as on 31.03.2024 as well as 31.03.2023, the working of adjustable net debts to the total equity is not required to be given.
