2.15 Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has
a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the standalone statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
2.16 Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
2.17 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less (that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and cash equivalents and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value) and funds in transit. However, for the purpose of the standalone statement of cash flows, in addition to above items, any bank overdrafts / cash credits that are integral part of the Company's cash management, are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
The cash flow has been prepared under the "Indirect Method" as set out in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 7 - statement of cash flows.
2.18 Segment reporting policies
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Only those
business activities are identified as operating segment for which the operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resource allocation and performance measurement. For details, refer to note 33.
2.19 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Changes in estimates are reflected in the standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements. Revisions of estimates are recognised on a prospective basis.
Information about keyjudgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the standalone financial statements are as follows: -
Note 2.12 - judgment required to determine probability
of recognition of deferred tax assets;
Note 2.16 - judgment is required to ascertain whether
it is probable or not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the taxation disputes and legal claim
Note 2.7 - identification of impairment indicators
Information about key areas of estimation /uncertainty in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the standalone financial statements are as follows: -
Note 2.11 and 31 - measurement of defined benefit
obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
Note 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 - useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment, fair valuation of investment properties and useful life of intangible assets;
Note 2.2 and 35 - fair value measurement of financial instruments;
Note 2.7 and 4 - impairment assessment of investment property - key assumptions underlying recoverable
amount;
Note 2.8 - impairment assessment of financial assets;
Note 2.20 - Assessment of reciprocal interest in own equity instruments through associates.
There are no assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year except for as disclosed in these standalone financial statements.
2.20 Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The Company's investments in its associates are accounted at cost less impairment.
Reciprocal interests in own equity instruments through
associates
Where an associate holds equity shares of the Company and the Company holds an equity interest in such associate, the arrangement may result in a reciprocal or circular shareholding structure. The Company assesses such arrangements based on their substance and evaluates whether the Company has, directly or indirectly, an economic interest in its own equity instruments
To the extent the Company has an indirect economic interest in its own equity instruments through an associate, such interest is not recognised as an asset. The carrying value of the investment in the associate is reduced to the extent of the reciprocal interest, with a corresponding adjustment recognised directly in equity. Gains, losses, fair value movements, dividends or other income recognised by the associate in respect of the Company's equity shares are excluded from the Company's share of profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate, as applicable.
The adjustment is presented within other equity as a separate deduction, reflecting the capital nature of the transaction. No gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in respect of such reciprocal interest
The Company has entered into share swap arrangements under which certain associates hold equity shares of the Company. Management has exercised judgement in assessing whether such arrangements result in the Company having an indirect economic interest in its own equity instruments.
Based on the substance of the arrangements and considering the treasury share principles under Ind AS 32 by analogy, management has concluded that the reciprocal interest should not be recognised as an asset. Accordingly, the Company has reduced the carrying value of investments in associates and recognised the corresponding adjustment directly in equity

37 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company's activities are exposed to variety of financial risk; credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk.
The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management ensures that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Company reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below:
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party 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), including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Trade receivable & other financial assets:-
The Company exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer and if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available internal credit risk factors such as the Company's historical experience for customers. Based on the business environment in which the Company operates, management
considers that the trade receivables are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are more than 180 days past due (other than receivables from related parties). Majority of trade receivables are from domestic customers, which are fragmented and are not concentrated to individual customers.
(i) Trade receivables are typically unsecured. Credit risk is managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantee given to bank. The Company's maximum exposure in this respect is the maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called on. Financial guarantees are accounted as explained in note 2.8. The maximum amount the Company could be forced to settle under the arrangement for the Full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee is ' 252.12 million (March 31,2025'337.90 million). Based on expectations at the end of the reporting year, the Company considers that it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.
(b) Liquidity risk
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. It maintains adequate sources of financing including loans from banks at an optimised cost.
(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 prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include trade
payables in foreign currency.
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the standalone statement of profit or loss, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/LiabUities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the standalone Company. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and thus it is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has a treasury team which evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks and advises the management of any material adverse effect on the Company.
Exposure to Foreign currency risk
The summary of quantitative data about the Company exposure to currency risk, as expressed in Indian Rupees, as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 are as beiow:
(ii) Interest rate risk
There is no borrowings as at March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025: ' NIL million)
Interest rate risk is the risk that the 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 borrowings with floating interest rates.
(iii) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk in respect of its investment in equity securities and classified in the
standalone balance sheet as FVTOCI.
The investments in quoted equity securities and unquoted equity securities are considered long-term, strategic investments. In accordance with the Company's policies, no specific hedging activities are undertaken in
relation to these investments. The investments are continuously monitored and voting rights arising from these equity instruments are utilised in the Company's favour.

48 IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT
The Company holds investments amounting to ' 2057.97 millions (March 31, 2025: ' 944.52 millions) in its subsidiaries
and associate companies. The value of the loans to its subsidiaries and associate companies, including interest accrued thereon is ' 1,269.76 millions (March 31,2025: ' 973.62 millions). As at March 31, 2026, the management of the Company
