Fair value hierarchy


The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised
and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide
an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the
three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The company doesn’t have investment in equity
instruments that have quoted price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which
maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair
value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments in the level 2 category for the company include forward
exchange contract derivatives.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in this level. Instruments
in level 3 category for the company include unquoted equity shares.

Fair value for assets measured at amortised cost


During the years mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and other bank balances, current loans, other current financial assets,
current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.

The fair values disclosed above are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values
in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Valuation process
The Company evaluates the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on periodic basis using the best and most relevant data
available. Also, the Company internally evaluates the valuation process and obtains independent price validation for certain instruments
wherever necessary.

31. Financial risk management


The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

A . Credit risk management


Credit risk arises from cash and bank balances, current and non-current loans, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at
amortised cost.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.

The Company is exposed to credit risk from loans to group companies, bank balances, security deposits, investments measured at
amortised cost, trade receivables and other current financial assets.

The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the counter party, taking into account the financial condition, current
economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual limits are set accordingly. Investments
at Amortised Cost are strategic investments in associated lines of business activity, the company closely monitors the performance of
these Companies.

Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk on such fixed deposits.

Loans and other deposits are mostly placed with group companies and government authorities hence the risk of credit loss is negligible.
Loans to group companies are reassessed at every reporting dates. The loans are extended for genuine business activities.

Trade Receivable: The Company trades with recognized and credit worthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all customers
who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an
on-going basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Also the company does not enter into sales
transaction with customers having credit loss history. There are no significant credit risks with related parties of the Company. The
Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-payment by customers. Also credit risk in some of cases are mitigated by letter
of credit/Advances from the customer.

The history of trade receivables shows a negligible allowance for bad and doubtful debts.

suitable term extension.

Fair value hierarchy


The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised
and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide
an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three
levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The Group doesn’t have investment in equity
instruments that have quoted price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which
maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair
value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments in the level 2 category for the Group include forward
exchange contract derivatives.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is includedin this level. Instruments
in level 3 category for the Group include unquoted equity shares.

Fair value for assets measured at amortised cost:


During the years mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and other bank balances, current loans, other current financial assets,
current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.

The fair values disclosed above are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values
in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Valuation process

The Group evaluates the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on periodic basis using the best and most relevant data available.
Also, the Group internally evaluates the valuation process and obtains independent price validation for certain instruments wherever
necessary.

32. Financial risk management


The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and Market risk.

A. Credit risk management:


Credit risk arises from cash and bank balances, current and non-current loans, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at
amortised cost..Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.

The Group is exposed to credit risk from loans to group companies, bank balances, security deposits, investments measured at
amortised cost, trade receivables and other current financial assets.

The Group periodically assesses the financial reliability of the counter party, taking into account the financial condition, current economic
trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual limits are set accordingly. Investments at
Amortised Cost are strategic investments in associated lines of business activity, the Group closely monitors the performance of these
Companies.

Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk on such fixed deposits.

Loans and other deposits are mostly placed with group companies and government authorities hence the risk of credit loss is negligible.
Loans to group companies are reassessed at every reporting dates. The loans are extended for genuine business activities.

Trade Receivable: The Group trades with recognized and credit worthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish
to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going
basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Also the Group does not enter into sales transaction with
customers having credit loss history. There are no significant credit risks with related parties of the Group. The Group is exposed to
credit risk in the event of non-payment by customers. Also credit risk in some of cases are mitigated by letter of credit/Advances from
the customer.

B. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. For
the Group, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities

– borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk management


The Group manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring its rolling cash flow forecasts. The Group’s operations provide a natural liquidity
of receivables against payments due to creditors. Borrowings are managed through credit facilities agreed with the Banks, internal accruals
and realisation of liquid assets. In the event of cash shortfalls, the Group approaches the lenders for a suitable term extension.
