42 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The
Company's financial risk management policy is set by the Risk Management Committee.
The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk
sensitive financial instruments including deposits and loans and borrowings.
The company manages market risk through Risk Management Committee, which evaluates and exercises independent
control over the entire process of market risk management. The committee recommends risk management objectives and
policies, which are approved by Risk Management and Board.
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 three types of risk: Interest Rate Risk, Currency Risk and Other Price Risk, such
as Commodity Risk. Financial Instruments affected by Market Risk include Loans and Borrowings, Deposits and FVTOCI
Investments.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,2025 and March 31, 2024.
The following assumptions have 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, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any associated cash flow hedges at March 31, 2025
for the effects of the assumed changes of the underlying risk.
i) Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. In order to balance the company's position with regards to interest income
and interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk treasury performs a comprehensive interest rate risk
management.
The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.
ii) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk arising primarily from transactions denominated in currencies
other than its functional currency. The major exposures of the Company are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and United Arab
Emirates Dirham (AED). These exposures arise mainly on account of export receivables and import payables. The
Company monitors currency fluctuations regularly and manages its exposure through natural hedges arising
from offsetting assets and liabilities and may enter into forward exchange contracts, if necessary, to hedge its
exposure. As at the reporting date, no forward contracts were outstanding.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company
manages its foreign currency risk by converting the foreign currency exposure into ' on the date of entering into
the transaction.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets including Other Current Assets and financial liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are as follows:
Sensitivity Analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening/(weakening) of the Indian Rupee(INR) against the foreign currencies(FCY)
at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies
and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables,
in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
The table below shows sensitivity of open forex exposure to FCY/INR movement. We have considered 1% ( /-)
change in FCY/INR movement. For a 1% weakening of the INR against the relevant FCY, there would be an equal
and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative. The indicative 1%
movement is directional and does not reflect management forecast on currency movement.
iii) Credit Risk
Credit Risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.
To manage this, the company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers and other counter
parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad
debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such
information.
Financial Assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to
engage in a repayment plan with the company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company
continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. When such recoveries are
made, these are then recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss.
The company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices
and the business environment in which the entity operates.
Investments
The Company invests its surplus funds mainly in liquid/short term debt/equity fund schemes of mutual funds
for short duration, which carry no/low mark to market risks and therefore, exposes the Company to low credit
risk. Such investments are made after reviewing the credit worthiness and market standing of such funds and
therefore, minimises the Company's exposure to credit risk. Such investments are monitored on a regular basis.
iv) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due
and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury
maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors
rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and
cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk
with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low.
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables
have been drawn up based on the cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the
Company can be required to pay:
