m. Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 obligation.
When the Company expects some or all of a
provision to be reimbursed, for example, under
an insurance contract, the reimbursement is
recognised as a separate asset, but only when the
reimbursement is certain. The expense relating to a
provision is presented in the statement of profit and
loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are determined by discounting the
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognised
as a finance cost.
Restructuring
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the
Company has a detailed formal restructuring plan
and has raised a valid expectation in those affected
that it will carry out the restructuring by starting
to implement the plan or announcing its main
features to those affected by it. The measurement
of a restructuring provision includes only the
direct expenditure arising from the restructuring,
which are those amounts that are both necessarily
entailed by the restructuring and not associated
with the ongoing activities of the entity.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts
are recognised and measured as provisions. An
onerous contract is considered to exist where
the Company has a contract under which the
unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under
the contract exceed the economic benefit expected
to be received from the contract.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Contingent liability is disclosed for,
(i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed
only by future events not wholly within the
control of the Company, or
(ii) Present obligations arising from past events
where it is not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the
obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount
of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed
where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent assets are assessed continually
and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of
economic benefits will arise, the asset and related
income are recognised in the period in which the
change occurs.
n. Revenue
Sale of goods
Revenue from contracts with customers is
recognised when control of the goods or services
are transferred to the customer at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods
or services. The Company has generally concluded
that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements,
since it is the primary obligor in all of its revenue
arrangement, as it has pricing latitude and is
exposed to inventory and credit risks. Revenue
is stated net of goods and service tax and net of
returns, chargebacks, rebates and other similar
allowances. These are calculated on the basis of
historical experience and the specific terms in the
individual contracts.
In determining the transaction price, the Company
considers the effects of variable consideration,
the existence of significant financing components,
non-cash consideration, and consideration payable
to the customer (if any). The Company estimates
variable consideration at contract inception until it
is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised
will not occur when the associated uncertainty with
the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Profit Sharing Revenues
The Company from time to time enters into
arrangements for the sale of its products in certain
markets. Under such arrangements, the Company
sells its products to the business partners at a base
purchase price agreed upon in the arrangement
and is also entitled to a profit share which is over
and above the base purchase price. The profit share
is typically dependent on the ultimate net sale
proceeds or net profits, subject to any reductions
or adjustments that are required by the terms of
the arrangement.
Revenue in an amount equal to the base purchase
price is recognised in these transactions upon
delivery of products to the business partners. An
additional amount representing the profit share
component is recognised as revenue only to the
extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal will not occur.
Out-licensing arrangements
Revenues include amounts derived from product
out-licensing agreements. These arrangements
typically consist of an initial up-front payment on
inception of the license and subsequent payments
dependent on achieving certain milestones in
accordance with the terms prescribed in the
agreement. Non-refundable up-front license fees
received in connection with product out-licensing
agreements are deferred and recognised over
the period in which the Company has continuing
performance obligations. Milestone payments
which are contingent on achieving certain clinical
milestones are recognised as revenues either on
achievement of such milestones, if the milestones
are considered substantive, or over the period the
Company has continuing performance obligations,
if the milestones are not considered substantive.
Sales returns
The Company accounts for sales returns accrual
by recording an allowance for sales returns
concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the
time of a product sale. This allowance is based
on the Company''s estimate of expected sales
returns. With respect to established products,
the Company considers its historical experience
of sales returns, levels of inventory in the
distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product
discontinuances, price changes of competitive
products, and the introduction of competitive
new products, to the extent each of these factors
impact the Company''s business and markets.
With respect to new products introduced by the
Company, such products have historically been
either extensions of an existing line of product
where the Company has historical experience or in
therapeutic categories where established products
exist and are sold either by the Company or the
Company''s competitors.
Contract balances
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in
exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Company performs by transferring
goods or services to a customer before the
customer pays consideration or before payment is
due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned
consideration that is conditional. Contract assets
are subject to impairment assessment.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company''s right to an
amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e.,
only the passage of time is required before payment
of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer
goods or services to a customer for which the
Company has received consideration (or an amount
of consideration is due) from the customer. If a
customer pays consideration before the Company
transfers goods or services to the customer, a
contract liability is recognised when the payment is
made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).
Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when
the Company performs under the contract
Rendering of services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss as the underlying
services are performed. Upfront non-refundable
payments received are deferred and recognised as
revenue over the expected period over which the
related services are expected to be performed.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis
in accordance with the substance of the relevant
agreement (provided that it is probable that
economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).
Royalty arrangements that are based on production,
sales and other measures are recognised by
reference to the underlying arrangement.
o. Dividend and interest income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s
right to receive the payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised
when it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Company and the amount of income
can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued
on a time basis, by reference to the principal
outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s
net carrying amount on initial recognition.
p. Government grants
The Company recognises government grants
only when there is reasonable assurance that
the conditions attached to them will be complied
with, and the grants will be received. When the
grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised
as income on a systematic basis over the periods
that the related costs, for which it is intended to
compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates
to an asset, the Company deducts such grant
amount from the carrying amount of the asset.
q. Employee benefits
Defined benefit plans
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity
plan which requires contribution to be made to a
separately administered fund.
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is
calculated using the projected unit credit method
with actuarial valuations being carried out at
the end of each annual reporting period. The
present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows by reference to market yields at
the end of the reporting period on government
bonds. The currency and term of the government
bonds shall be consistent with the currency and
estimated term of the post-employment benefit
obligations. The current service cost of the defined
benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit
and loss as employee benefits expense, reflects the
increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting
from employee service in the current year, benefit
changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service
costs are recognised in the statement of profit and
loss in the period of a plan amendment. The net
interest cost is calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net balance of the defined benefit
obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This
cost is included in employee benefit expense in the
statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and
losses arising from experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or
credited to OCI in the period in which they arise
and is reflected immediately in retained earnings
and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense
in the statement of profit and loss when the
Company is demonstrably committed, without
realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal
detailed plan to either terminate employment
before the normal retirement date, or to provide
termination benefits as a result of an offer made
to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination
benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised
as an expense in the statement of profit and loss
if the Company has made an offer encouraging
voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer
will be accepted, and the number of acceptances
can be estimated reliably.
Short-term and Other long-term
employee benefits
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised
within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. The Company measures the
expected cost of such absences as the additional
amount that it expects to pay as a result of the
unused entitlement that has accumulated at the
reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to
be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long¬
term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
Such long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on the actuarial valuation using
the projected unit credit method at the year-end.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the
statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other
long term employee benefits is the amount of
future benefit that employees have earned in
return for their service in the current and previous
periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its
present value.
Defined contribution plans
The Company''s contributions to defined
contribution plans are recognised as an expense
as and when the services are received from the
employees entitling them to the contributions. The
Company does not have any obligation other than
the contribution made.
r. Income tax
Income tax expense consists of current and
deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in
profit or loss except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised in OCI or directly in equity,
in which case it is recognised in OCI or directly in
equity respectively. Current tax is the expected
tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, using
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period, and any adjustment
to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset
where the Company has a legally enforceable
right to offset and intends either to settle on a
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation
of taxable profit. Deferred tax is not recognised for
the temporary differences that arise on the initial
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction
that is not a business combination and that affects
neither accounting nor taxable profits and taxable
temporary differences arising upon the initial
recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to the temporary
differences when they reverse, based on the laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally
enforceable right to set off corresponding current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate
to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on
the Company.
The Company recognises a deferred tax asset
arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only
to the extent that the entity has sufficient taxable
temporary differences or there is convincing other
evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be
available against which the unused tax losses or
unused tax credits can be utilised by the entity.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary difference
can be utilised except:
⢠When the deferred tax asset relating to the
deductible temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit
or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable
and deductible temporary differences.
⢠In respect of deductible temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures,
deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that the temporary
differences will reverse in the foreseeable
future and taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can
be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realised. Withholding tax arising out of payment of
dividends to shareholders under the Indian Income
tax regulations is not considered as tax expense for
the Company and all such taxes are recognised in
the statement of changes in equity as part of the
associated dividend payment.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences, except:
⢠When the deferred tax liability arises from the
initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss and does not give rise to equal
taxable and deductible temporary differences
⢠In respect of taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, when
the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is probable
that the temporary differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future
Minimum Alternate Tax (''MAT'') credit is recognised
as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent
there is convincing evidence that the Company
will pay normal income tax during the period for
which the MAT credit can be carried forward for
set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit
recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance
Sheet date and written down to the extent the
aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require
management to make judgements of potential
exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are
measured using either the most likely amount or
the expected value amount depending on which
method the entity expects to better predict the
resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not
recognised unless the management based upon its
interpretation of applicable laws and regulations
and the expectation of how the tax authority will
resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will
be accepted by the authorities. Once considered
probable of not being accepted, management
reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the
effect of the uncertainty in determining the related
taxable amounts.
s. Exceptional items
Exceptional items refer to items of income or
expense, including tax items, within the statement
of profit and loss from ordinary activities which
are non-recurring and are of such size, nature
or incidence that their separate disclosure is
considered necessary to explain the performance of
the Company.
t. Recent Accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new
standards or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules as issued from time to time. MCA has issued
following amendments:
Amendment to Ind AS 1 ''Presentation of Financial
Statements''- Classification of Liabilities as current
or non-current and non-current liabilities with
covenants. The amendment includes specific
provisions that will take effect for reporting
periods beginning on or after April 01, 2026,
retrospectively, as outlined below:
a) Breach of material covenant for long-term loan
arrangement on or before end of reporting
period with effect that liability becomes
payable on demand as on reporting date, then
it shall be classified as current liability, if lender
agreed after reporting period and before
approval of standalone financial statements
to not demand payment as a consequence
of breach.
b) Classify as non-current liability, if lender
agreed by end of reporting period to provide
grace period ending at least 12 months after
reporting period within which entity can
rectify the breach provided lender does not
demand immediate repayment.
c) Disclose information about the timing of
settlement to understand the impact of the
liability on the standalone financial statements.
The Company does not expect this amendment
to have an impact on its operations or standalone
financial statements.
(i) Buildings include ? 8,620 (As at March 31, 2025: ? 8,620) towards cost of shares in a co-operative housing society and also includes ? 1.1
Million (As at March 31, 2025: ? 1.1 Million) and ? 1,133.0 Million (As at March 31, 2025: ? 1,133.0 Million) towards cost of non-convertible
preference shares of face value of ? 10/- each and compulsorily convertible debentures of face value of ? 10,000/- each in a Company
respectively entitling the right of occupancy and use of premises and also includes ? 4.5 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 4.5 Million) towards cost
of flats not registered in the name of the Company but is entitled to right of use and occupancy.
(ii) The aggregate depreciation has been included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) The above table includes certain premises and plant and machinery given under operating lease or leave and license agreements having gross
carrying value of ? 22.7 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 205.7 Million) and accumulated depreciation of ? 11.7 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 37.4
Million). The depreciation charge for the year in relation to them is ? 0.3 Million (March 31, 2025: ? 3.3 Million).
(i) The aggregate amortisation has been included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Refer Note 54 (1)
(iii) The recoverable amount of Goodwill has been determined based on value in use calculations which uses cash flow projections covering
generally a period of five years which are based on key assumptions such as margins, expected growth rates based on past experience and
Management''s expectations/ extrapolation of normal increase/ steady terminal growth rate and appropriate discount rates that reflects current
market assessments of time value of money. The average growth rate used in extrapolating cash flows beyond the planning period was 5.0% for
the years ended March 31, 2026 and 5.0% March 31, 2025. Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a CGU
or group of CGUs. The discount rate is estimated on the weighted average cost of capital for respective CGU or group of CGUs. Discount rate
used was 9.2% for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 8.9% March 31, 2025. The management believes that any reasonable possible change
in key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based is not expected to cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate
recoverable amount of the cash generating unit.
Footnotes
(i) Rights, preference and Restrictions attached to equity shares: The equity shares of the Company, having par value of ? 1 per share, rank pari
passu in all respects including voting rights and entitlement to dividend.
(ii) Change in shareholding during the year represents the sale of 15,000 shares by Kumud S. Shanghvi.
(iii) Authorised capital is changed with effect from November 22, 2025, being the date of filing Form INC-28 with the Registrar of Companies

Medicare Limited, Green Eco Development Centre Limited, Faststone Mercantile Company Private Limited, Realstone Multitrade Private
Limited, Skisen Labs Private Limited (âTransferor Companiesâ) with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (âTransferee Companyâ or âthe
Companyâ), as approved by the Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal Ahmedabad Bench vide its Order dated October 07, 2025.
Nature and purpose of each reserve
Capital reserve - During amalgamation / merger / acquisition, the excess of net assets taken, over the consideration paid, if any,
is treated as capital reserve.
Securities premium - The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in securities premium. In
case of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant date and nominal value of
share is accounted as securities premium. It is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Amalgamation reserve - The reserve was created pursuant to scheme of amalgamation in earlier years.
Capital redemption reserve - The Company has recognised capital redemption reserve on buyback of equity shares from its
retained earnings. The amount in capital redemption reserve is equal to nominal amount of the equity shares bought back.
General reserve: The reserve arises on transfer portion of the net profit pursuant to the earlier provisions of Companies Act,
1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Retained earnings: The reserve is the profit/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, Add/less any transfers to/
from general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss /
(gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity instrument through OCI - The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investment in
equity instrument in other comprehensive income. This amount will be reclassified to retained earnings on derecognition of
equity instrument.
Foreign currency translation reserve - Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and the net assets of the
Company''s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Company''s presentation currency (i.e ^) are recognised
directly in the other comprehensive income and accumulated in foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange Difference
in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to statement of profit or loss account on the disposal of the
foreign operation.
Effective portion of cash flow hedges - The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gains
or losses arising on changes in fair value of designated portion of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges. The
cumulative gain or loss recognised and accumulated under the cash flow hedge reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss only
when the hedged transaction affects the profit or loss, or included as a basis adjustment to the non-financial hedged item.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair
value. The cost of unquoted investments approximates the fair value because there is wide range of possible fair value
measurements and the costs represents estimate of fair value within that range.
#These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Company has
chosen to designate these investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the periods.
The management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost
approximates their fair value.
The Company''s capital management objectives are:
⢠to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern; and
⢠to provide an adequate return to shareholders through optimisation of debts and equity balance.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of debt as presented on the face of the financial statements.
The Company''s objective for capital management is to maintain an optimum overall financial structure. The Company
manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the
financial covenants.
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other
equity reserves attributable to the equity share holder''s.
NOTE: 43 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Company''s risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced
by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk
assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the
Company''s activities.
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, loans and investments.
Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness
of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have
a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, and
does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
Trade receivables
The Company has used Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company
uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and
internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
Other than trade receivables, the Company has recognised an allowance of ^ 15.3 Million (March 31, 2025: ^ 15.3 Million)
against past due loans/advance including interest and ^ 1,540.0 Million (March 31, 2025: ^ 1,540.0 Million) of other receivables
based on assessment regarding its future recoverability.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company
manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks of ^ 38,085.0 Million as on March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025:
^ 30,193.3 Million).
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market
rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-
sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market
risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The
Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of
its investments. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue
generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
The Company''s foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily
in US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee
appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company''s revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may
decrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed
substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the Company uses both
derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts, currency
swap contracts and foreign currency financial liabilities, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in
respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the
Indian rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets/liabilities would (decrease) / increase
the Company''s profit and (decrease) / increase the Company''s equity by approximately ^ (5,738.2) Million and ^ (6,202.2)
Million respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but
opposite effect.
In management''s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is not representative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the
exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
c) Derivative contracts
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk that arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses, primarily
in US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble. The Company uses foreign currency
forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap contracts (collectively, âderivativesâ) to mitigate
its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or a
financial institution.
Hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions
The Company designates its derivative contracts that hedge foreign exchange risk associated with its highly probable
forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges and measures them at fair value. The effective portion of such cash flow
hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income, and re-classified in the income statement as revenue in the period
corresponding to the occurrence of the forecasted transactions. The ineffective portion of such cash flow hedges is
immediately recorded in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of the aforesaid hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions, the Company has recorded a net loss of
^ 2,862.8 Million for the year ended March 31, 2026 and net loss of ^ 180.1 Million for the year ended March 31, 2025
in other comprehensive income. The Company also recorded hedges as a component of revenue, loss of ^ 1,478.2 Million
for the year ended March 31, 2026 and loss of ^ 108.3 Million for the year ended March 31, 2025 on occurrence of
forecasted sale transaction.
Changes in the fair value of forward contracts and option contracts that economically hedge monetary assets and
liabilities in foreign currencies, and for which no hedge accounting is applied, are recognised in the statement of profit and
loss. The changes in fair value of the forward contracts and option contracts, as well as the foreign exchange gains and
losses relating to the monetary items, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Commodity rate risk
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Company''s purchases and sales of
active pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients.
These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the
Company''s raw materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in
the Company''s active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms the
largest portion of the Company''s cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through
operating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not entered into any material
derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
Defined contribution plan
Contributions are made to Regional Provident Fund (RPF), Family Pension Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC)
and other Funds which covers all regular employees. While both the employees and the Company make predetermined
contributions to the Provident Fund and ESIC, contribution to the Family Pension Fund and other Statutory Funds are
made only by the Company. The contributions are normally based on a certain percentage of the employee''s salary.
Amount recognised as expense in respect of these defined contribution plans, aggregate to ^ 1251.2 Million
(March 31, 2025: ^ 1,149.4 Million).
Defined benefit plan
a) Gratuity
In accordance with Indian Law, the Company operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity
plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of
employment in accordance with the provisions under the Code on Social Security, 2020 or as per the Company Scheme,
as applicable. Vesting occurs upon completion of contractual period of continuous years of service as defined in the
Code on Social Security, 2020. The Company manage the plan by contributing to LIC''s Recognised Group Gratuity Fund
Scheme. Provision for gratuity is based on actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary as at the year end. Each
year, the Company review the level of funding in gratuity fund. The company decide its contribution based on the results
of its annual review. The company aim to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that the fund assets
meets the requirements of gratuity payments in short to medium term.
b) Pension fund
The Company has an obligation towards pension, a defined benefit retirement plan, with respect to certain employees,
who had already retired before March 01, 2013 and will continue to receive the pension as per the pension plan.
c) Covid-19 Employee children education support
The Company have undertaken an obligation to provide financial support towards education expenses of the children of
those employees who have lost their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Risks
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and
salary risk.
i) Investment risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by
reference to the market yields on government bonds denominated in Indian Rupees. If the actual return on plan asset is
below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. However, the risk is partially mitigated by investment in LIC managed fund.
ii) Interest rate risk - A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset
by an increase in the return on the plan''s debt investments.
iii) Longevity risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of
the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan
participants will increase the plan''s liability.
iv) Salary risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan''s liability.
Other long term benefit plan

year end using the âProjected Unit Credit'' method. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions relating to defined
benefit obligation are recognised in other comprehensive income whereas gains and losses in respect of other long term
employee benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
a) The Company has recognised a lease liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, and right-of-

includes a wide range of possible impacts on the Company due to both physical and transition risks. Even though the
Company believes its business model and products will still be viable after the transition to a low-carbon economy,

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company''s capital management objectives are:
- to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern (Refer Note 52a); and
- to provide an adequate return to shareholders through optimisation of debts and equity balance.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of debt less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company''s objective for capital management is to maintain an optimum overall financial structure.
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s risk management assessment, policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment, management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
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, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks and financial institutions of J21,681 Lakhs as on March 31, 2025 (Previous year: H37,800 Lakhs). The Company has also received a financial support letter from its promoter group entity.
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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments. The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company''s foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars and Euros). As a result, if the value of the Indian Rupee fluctuates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company''s revenues and expenses measured in Indian Rupees may fluctuate. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets / liabilities would decrease the Company''s loss and increase the Company''s equity by approximately H510.47 Lakhs and H614.30 Lakhs respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate risk
The Company''s borrowings include loans with floating interest rates linked to the MCLR. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from these borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
A 50 basis points increase in interest rates would result in an additional interest expense of ^50 lakhs. A 50 basis point decrease in floating interest rate would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Commodity rate risk
The Company being in the business of Research & Development, does not face any significant Commodity Price Risk.

The Company also plans to monetise some of these assets in the future and is exploring various options, including collaborations, sale etc.
The Company considers climate-related matters in estimates and assumptions, where appropriate. This assessment includes a wide range of possible impacts on the Company due to both physical and transition risks. Even though the Company believes its business model will still be viable after the transition to a low-carbon economy, climate-related matters increase the uncertainty in estimates and assumptions underpinning several items in the financial statements. Even though climate-related risks might not currently have a significant impact on measurement, the Company is closely monitoring relevant changes and developments, such as new climate-related legislation.
The management is continuously evaluating the developments and likely impact of imposition of tariffs by the United States of America and currently believes that there is no material impact on the financial statements.
The date of implementation of the Code on Wages 2019 and the Code on Social Security, 2020 is yet to be notified by the Government. The Company will assess the impact of these Codes and give effect in the subsequent financial statements when the Rules/Schemes thereunder are notified. The Company will assess the impact of these Codes and give effect in the subsequent financial statements when the Rules / Schemes thereunder are notified.
l) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an overflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flow as a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets-
Contingent liability is disclosed for,
i. Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
ii. Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements unless it becomes virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. When an inflow of benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in financial statements.
m) Revenue from operations
Revenue from contracts with customers
Milestone payments and out licensing arrangements
Revenues include amounts derived from product out-licensing agreements. These arrangements typically consist of an initial up-front payment on inception of the license and subsequent payments dependent on achieving certain milestones in accordance with the terms prescribed in the agreement.
Non-refundable up-front license fees received in connection with product out-licensing agreements are recognised at a point in which the Company has no continuing performance obligations. However, in case of continued performance obligations, the Company deferred the non-refundable up-front license fees received in connection with product out-licensing agreements and recognises the same over the period.
Milestone payments which are contingent on achieving certain clinical milestones are recognised as revenues either on achievement of such milestones, if the milestones are considered substantive, or over the period the Company has continuing performance obligations, if the milestones are not considered substantive.
Research and development services
Revenue from services rendered, which primarily relate to research and development, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as the underlying services are performed.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement (provided that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably). Royalty arrangements that are based on sales and other measures are recognised by reference to the underlying arrangement.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Contract balances Unbilled receivable
During the end of reporting period, unbilled receivable is recognised for the royalty income, milestone payment or Research and development service on satisfaction of revenue recognition criteria mentioned above but the same is not billed to the customers. Upon billing, the amount recognized as unbilled receivable is reclassified to trade receivables.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company''s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
Advance received from customer
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is received or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
n) Employee benefits Defined benefit plans
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan which requires contribution to be made to a separately administered fund.
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The currency and term of the government bonds shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit obligations. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit and loss as employee benefits expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to OCI in the period in which they arise and is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
Defined contribution plans
The Company''s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense as and when the services are received from the employees entitling them to the contributions. The Company does not have any obligation other than the contribution made.
o) Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
p) Income tax
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in OCI or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in OCI or directly in equity respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off corresponding current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the Company.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management, based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter, concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.
q) Recent Accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

NOTE 36
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s risk management assessment, policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment, management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
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, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks and financial institutions of J 37,800 Lakhs as on March 31, 2024 (Previous year : H 42,494.90 Lakhs)
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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments. The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company''s foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars and Euros). As a result, if the value of the Indian Rupee fluctuates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company''s revenues and expenses measured in Indian Rupees may fluctuate. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets / liabilities would decrease the Company''s loss and increase the Company''s equity by approximately J 614.30 Lakhs and H 383.50 Lakhs respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate risk
The Company has no loan facilities on floating interest rate, which exposes the Company to risk of changes in interest rates. The Company''s exposure to interest rate risk is not significant.
Commodity rate risk
The Company being in the business of Research & Development, does not face any significant Commodity Price Risk.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company''s capital management objectives are:
- to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern; and
- to provide an adequate return to shareholders through optimisation of debts and equity balance.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of debt less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company''s objective for capital management is to maintain an optimum overall financial structure.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s risk management assessment, policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment, management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
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, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have any credit risk from financial assets as on balance sheet date.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks of H 7,500 Lakhs as on March 31, 2022 (Previous year : H 6,500 Lakhs)
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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments. The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company''s foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros). As a result, if the value of the Indian Rupee fluctuates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company''s revenues and expenses measured in Indian Rupees may fluctuate. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets / liabilities would decrease the Company''s loss and increase the Company''s equity by approximately H 206.83 Lakhs and H 376.05 Lakhs respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate risk
The Company has no loan facilities on floating interest rate, which exposes the Company to risk of changes in interest rates. The Company''s exposure to interest rate risk is not significant.

2 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Companyâs capital management objectives are:
- to ensure the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern; and
- to provide an adequate return to shareholders through optimisation of debts and equity balance.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of debt less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the financial statements. The Companyâs objective for capital management is to maintain an optimum overall financial structure.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.
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 Companyâs receivables from customers, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have any credit risk from above financial assets as on balance sheet date.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Companyâs reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks of Rs.2,989.60 Lakhs as on March 31, 2018, Rs.1,839.60 Lakhs as on March 31, 2017, Rs.1,533.08 Lakhs as on April 01, 2016.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments :
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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments. The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.
Foreign exchange risk
The Companyâs foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Companyâs revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may decrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
a) Significant foreign currency risk exposure relating to trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade payables
b) Sensitivity
For the years ended March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and April 01, 2016, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets/liabilities would decrease the Companyâs loss and increase the Companyâs equity by approximately Rs.199.14, Rs.133.69 and Rs.107.45 respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate risk
The Company has no loan facilities on floating interest rate, which exposes the Company to risk of changes in interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to interest rate risk is not significant.
Commodity rate risk
The Company being in the business of Research & Development, does not face any significant Commodity Price Risk.

11 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
1 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation and amortisation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Companyâs assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
2 Assets and obligations relating to employee benefits
The employment benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost/ (income) include the discount rate, inflation and mortality assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact upon the carrying amount of employment benefit obligations.

The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, if any, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Further, significant judgement is exercised to ascertain amount of deferred tax asset (DTA) that could be recognised based on the probability that future taxable profits will be available against which DTA can be utilized and amount of temporary difference in which DTA can not be recognised on want of probable taxable profits.
4 Provisions [Refer Note 2l]
5 Contingencies (Refer Note 41)
12 STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On 28 March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the new revenue recognition standard, viz., Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Ind AS 115 is applicable for the financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2018 for all Ind AS companies. The new standard establishes a five step model related to revenue recognition from contracts with customers. It permits either âfull retrospectiveâ adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented or a âmodified retrospectiveâ adoption.
The Company is evaluating its various contractual arrangements and the available transition methods. The Company has established an implementation team to implement Ind-AS related to recognition of revenue from customers and is also evaluating the changes that may be necessary to itâs accounting systems and processes. Reliable estimates of the quantitative impact of Ind-AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible once implementation project has been completed.
Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:
On March 28, 2018, MCA has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. This amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018. The Company expects the impact of this on the financial statements to be insignificant.
Amendments to Ind AS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. These amendments are expected to have insignificant impact on the Company.

As a prudent measure, the excess deferred tax asset (net) of Rs, 7,895.51 Lakhs (Previous Year Rs, 5,524.85 Lakhs) in relation to the above has not been recognized in the financial statements as there is no virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
