1.19 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent
Assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present
legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount
can be reliably estimated.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible
obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from
past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made.

Claims against the Company where the possibility of any
outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed
as contingent liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements
since this may result in the recognition of income that may
never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is
virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset
and is recognised. A contingent asset is disclosed, in financial
statements, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

1.20 Retirement and other Employee benefits
Short-term obligations

Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at
an undiscounted amount in the Statement of profit and loss of
the year in which the related services are rendered.

a) Post-employment benefits
Defined Benefit Plans

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in
respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Liability
with regards to gratuity plan is determined using the
projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations
being carried out by a qualified independent actuary at
the end of each reporting period.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in
other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified
to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit
obligation resulting from plan amendments or
curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss
as past service cost.

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is
calculated using a discount rate which is determined
by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting
period on government bonds. The defined benefit
obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the
actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit

plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited
to the present value of any economic benefits available in
the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future
contributions to the plans.

Defined Contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment
benefit plan under which the Company pays specified
contributions for provident fund as per the provisions of
the Provident Fund Act, 1952 to the government. The
Company''s contribution is recognised as an expense in
the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which
the employee renders the related service. The Company''s
obligation is limited to the amounts contributed by it.

Other long-term employee benefit obligations -
Compensated Absences

The Company provides for the encashment of leave or
leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are
entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for
future encashment. The liability is provided based on the
number of days of unutilised leave at each balance sheet
date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.

1.21 Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
(after deducting preference dividends, if any, and attributable
taxes) by the weighted average number of equities shares
outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

1.22 Exceptional items

Exceptional items refer to items of income or expense 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.

(ii) The Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, Government of India ("DoT") has raised demand of ''
9,754.15 Million on the Company consisting of Principal amount of '' 2,286.50 Million (as of July 31, 2020) and related interest,
penalty and interest on penalty of '' 7,467.65 Million towards license fee by including the revenue generated from its cable
television business.

These demands are mainly based on Hon''ble Supreme Court''s Judgement in the matter of Union of India v/s AUSPI & Ors.
bearing C.A. Nos.6328 - 6399 on AGR dues from telecom operators ("AGR Judgment"). Subsequently, vide order dated June
11 and June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court clarified that the AGR judgement pertaining to telecom companies could not have
been basis for raising demands in the non-telecom PSUs and accordingly DoT withdrew the demands on the non-telecom
PSUs. The Company, in line with the observations made by the Supreme Court has made representations to DoT against said
demands, which DoT has taken on record.

Also, All India Digital Cable Federation (AIDCF) for all its member companies had filed an intervention petition in TDSAT in the
matter of Asianet Satellite Communications Private Limited versus Union of India bearing TP No. 54 of 2020 challenging the

demands raised on such member companies (the Company being a member too) by including its non-licensed income for
computation of license fees. Further, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has in February 2021 written to DoT (along with
the representation of AIDCF) that it grants permission to Multi System Operators ("MSOs") for cable tv operations and does not
levy any license fee on the revenue, and hence the revenues earned by MSOs from cable tv business may not be clubbed with
the revenue earned by them under Internet Service Provider''s license.

With effect from October 01, 2021,definition of AGR has been amended and Applicable Gross Revenue (ApGR) was introduced
which was starting point for arriving AGR. ApGR specifically excludes revenue from activities under a license / permission issued
by MIB. Further, by an order dated October 05, 2021, the TDSAT has stayed all demands of additional license fee. The interim
order is continuing and the petition is pending before the TDSAT. Additionally, TDSAT in February 2022 set aside the demands
raised by DoT in matter relating to another ISP license holder by treating them at par with some PSUs who held similar license.
The DoT has challenged the TDSAT order which is still pending. Hence, the extent and timing of outflow of funds that may be
required is dependent on the outcome of litigation.

Basis its assessment of the legal position as stated above and based on the opinion of independent legal experts, the Company
is confident that it has good grounds on merit to defend itself. Accordingly, the Company is of the view that no provision is
necessary to be made in the financial statements in relation to the demands and the same has been considered as a contingent
liability.

(iii) The matters listed in (i) and (ii) above are based on either demands received by the Company or are based on expected outflow
of economic resources estimated by management. Based on expert opinion obtained by the Company, The Company does
not expect the outcome of the above proceeding to have materially adverse effect on the functioning of the Company.

31 CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Fair value of Assets and Liabilities are not significantly different from the carrying value and Assets and Liabilities are carried at
Amortised cost.

31(a) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are 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.

The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:-

Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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 Company specific estimates. If all significant inputs
required for fair value and instruments are observable, then the instruments are included in Level-2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, trade payable, lease liabilities and other payable. The main
purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets includes trade
and other receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents and other assets that derive directly from operations.

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Company''s overall risk management focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

(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.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve optimal
maturity profile and financing cost.

(B) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the amounts due causing financial
loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from Company''s activities in investments and outstanding receivables from customers.

The Company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business activities.
Credit risk arising from the investments in the nature of Fixed Deposits is actively managed through investment in top rated Banks.

Trade Receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk
management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Outstanding customers receivables are regularly monitored. With respect
to the cable business, the Company has low concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically
and geographically.

As per IND AS 109, Company follows the simplified approach in determining allowance for credit losses of trade receivables. However,
for receivables from certain customers , the Company considers the credit risk to be low based on historical default experience
and the nature of the counterparties. Accordingly, the ECL recognised on such balances is considered to be insignificant. This
assessment is periodically reviewed to ensure consistency with the Company''s risk management policies and prevailing economic
conditions. The Company makes the provision of expected credit losses on certain trade receivables using provision matrix to
mitigate the risk of defaults of payments. Provision matrix is prepared based on historic data and the same is adjusted considering
forward looking estimates. The provision matrix followed by Company is as follows :

( C )Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk is the risk that Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring
unacceptable losses. The Company''s objective is to maintain optimum level of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements.
The Company closely monitors its liquid position and deploys robust cash management system. It maintains adequate sources of
financing at an optimised cost.

The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can
continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

The Company has given Loan to GTPL Broadband Private Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary Company for its business activities.
The rate of Interest will be mutually decided by the Companies from time to time. The Borrower shall repay each loan together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon earlier of the Termination date of the Agreement or the date falling within 5 days of written
demand by the Company.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates, whether there is any indicators of credit risk on such loan resulting into expected
credit loss. For the current year, no such indicators for significant increased in credit risk have been identified and accordingly no
expected credit loss provision is required for the above loan.

The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on March 28, 2025 have approved subscription to the rights issue of 1,30,24,126
equity shares aggregating up to ''1549.87 Million of GTPL Broadband Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, by adjusting an
outstanding loan of ''1,549.87 Million against it. Subsequent to the year end, the shares have been alloted to the Company at ''119
per share. Hence, as at March 31, 2025, the application money is presented under long-term investments.

During the year, the Company entered into a loan extension agreement with GTPL Broadband Private Limited to extend the maturity
date of one tranche of its existing loan amounting to '' 736.18 Million from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2029.

42 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Defined Contribution Plan

(a) Provident Fund : A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified
contributions for provident fund as per the provisions of the Provident Fund Act, 1952 to the government. The Company''s contribution
is recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss Statement during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
The Company''s obligation is limited to the amounts contributed by it.

Defined Benefits Plan

(a) Gratuity: The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of
a qualifying insurance policy. Every employee who has completed five or more years of service is eligible for gratuity as per the
provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1972.

Risks: The Plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsered by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to
the plan. Thus the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the gratuity benefit such as fall in interest rates, adverse salary
growth, change in demographic experience, change in regulations. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits
to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risk.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Risk, Longevity Risk and Salary Risk.
Investment Risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by
reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

Interest 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.

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.

Salary Risk - The present value of the defined 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.

(h) Expected contribution during the next annual reporting period is '' 60.41 Million

(i) Asset Liability Matching Strategy

The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest
rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance Company, as part of the policy rules,
makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus,
mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of
liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should
result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

43 EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS

The Company has made an assessment of the recoverable values of certain investments made in subsidiary companies wherever
impairment indicators existed. In determining the recoverable values, the Company considered the value in use of the related
investments based on the business performance, prevailing business conditions and revised expectations of the future performance.
Based on such assessment, the Company has recognised an impairment loss of '' 37.94 Million (Previous year - '' 59.63 Million ) in
the investment made in its subsidiaries - GTPL Narmada Cyberzone Private Limited, GTPL DCPL Private Limited and GTPL Link
Network Private Limited for Current year (Previous year - GTPL DCPL Private Limited & GTPL VVC Network Private Limited). The total
recoverable amount of such CGU is '' 254.8 Million (Previous year - '' 253.89 Million) determined based on its value in use less cost
of disposal determined considering a discount rate of 15.25%. (Previous year - 15.75%).

44 EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE

(i) The Board of Directors have recommended dividend of '' 2 per fully paid up equity share of '' 10/- each for the financial year
ended March 31, 2025 on outstanding paid up share capital of the Company as on date, in its board meeting held on April 16,

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the amounts due causing financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from Company''s activities in investments and outstanding receivables from customers.

The Company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business activities. Credit risk arising from the investments in the nature of Fixed Deposits is actively managed through investment in top rated Banks.

Outstanding customers receivables are regularly monitored. With respect to the cable business, the Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically and geographically.

As per IND AS 109, Company follows the simplified approach in determining allowance for credit losses of trade receivables. The Company makes the provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using provision matrix to mitigate the risk of defaults of payments.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been offset where the Company has legally enforceable right to set off the current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

In assessing the realisability of deferred income tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax income tax assets is based on generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporarily differences become deductible. The management considers the schedule reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

NOTE 34: INCOME TAXES

NOTE 42 : EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Defined Contribution Plan

(a) Provident Fund : A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified contributions for provident fund as per the provisions of the Provident Fund Act, 1952 to the government. The Company''s contribution is recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss Statement during the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Company''s obligation is limited to the amounts contributed by it.

Defined Benefits Plan

(a) Gratuity: The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy. Every employee who has completed five or more years of service is eligible for gratuity as per the provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1972.

Risks: The Plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsered by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to the plan. Thus the company is exposed to various risks in providing the gratuity benefit such as fall in interest rates, adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, change in regulations. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risk.

(g) Sensitivity Analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligations are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results of sensitivity analysis is given below

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Risk, Longevity Risk and Salary Risk.

Investment Risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

Interest 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.

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.

Salary Risk - The present value of the defined 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.

(h) Expected contribution during the next annual reporting period is ''49.25 Million

(i) Asset Liability Matching Strategy

The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance Company, as part of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

NOTE-43: EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS

Exceptional items in the standalone financial Statement include :

a) Provision for doubtful debts amounting to NIL (Previous year - '' 200.52 million) from certain identified receivable balances based on management''s assessment of Counterparty credit risk.

b) The Company has made an assessment of the recoverable values of certain investments made in subsidiary companies wherever impairment indicators existed.In determining the recoverable values, the Company considered the value in use of the related investments based on the business performance, prevailing business conditions and revised expectations of the future performance. Based on such assessment, the Company has recognised an impairment loss of '' 59.63 Million (Previous year -'' 40.99 Million ) in its - GTPL DCPL Private Limited & GTPL VVC Network Private Limited. The total recoverable amount of the CGU is '' 253.89 Million (Previous year - '' 313.52 Million) determined based on its value in use less cost of disposal determined considering a discount rate of 15.75%. (Previous year - 16.80%).

Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a
possible obligation arising from past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company or a present
obligation that arises from past events where it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to

settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount
cannot be made.

Claims against the Company where the possibility of
any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not
disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognised in financial
statements since this may result in the recognition of
income that may never be realised. However, when the
realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related
asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised. A
contingent asset is disclosed, in financial statements,
where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

determined using the projected unit credit method,
with actuarial valuations being carried out by a
qualified independent actuary at the end of each
reporting period.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in the period in which
they occur, directly in other comprehensive income
and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and
Loss.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit
obligation resulting from plan amendments or
curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or
loss as past service cost.

The present value of the defined benefit plan
liability is calculated using a discount rate which
is determined by reference to market yields at the
end of the reporting period on government bonds.
The defined benefit obligation recognised in the
Balance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus
in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus
resulting from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any economic benefits available in the form
of refunds from the plans or reductions in future
contributions to the plans.

the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.22 Exceptional items

2. Notes of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017

2.1 First-time adoption of Ind AS

These Standalone financial statements, for the year ended 31 March 2017, are the company’s first Standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies set out in the notes have been applied in preparing the Standalone Financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2017 and for the years ended March 31, 2016. The company has followed the same accounting policy choices (both mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions availed as per Ind AS 101) as initially adopted on transition date i.e. April 1 ,2015.

An explanation of how the transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS has affected the company’s Standalone Financial Statements is set out in the following tables and notes.

2.1.1 Exemptions and exceptions availed:

The applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS as at the transition date, i.e. April 1, 2015 are explained below.

a) Estimates:

An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after accounting policies), unless there is an objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

Ind AS estimates as at 1 April, 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP.

b) Hedge Accounting:

Hedge accounting can only be applied prospectively from the transition date to transactions that satisfy the hedge accounting criteria in Ind AS 109, at that date. Hedging relationships cannot be designated retrospectively, and the supporting documentation cannot be created retrospectively. As a result, only hedging relationships that satisfied the hedge accounting criteria as of 1 April 2015 are reflected as hedges in the Company’s results under Ind AS.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Under Indian GAAP, there is no mandatory standard that deals comprehensively with hedge accounting, which has resulted in the adoption of varying practices. The entity has assessed the conditions of qualifying hedging relationship on date of transition to Ind AS and therefore not recognised a hedge relationship that does not qualify for hedge accounting as per Ind AS 109.

c) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities

Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from the date of the entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.

The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.

d) Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets on the basis of the facts anc circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. Accordingly, the classification and the measurement of financial assets is done based on the facts & circumstances as on the date of transition.

e) Business combinations

Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated. The Company has applied same exemption for investment in associates and joint ventures.

f) Prospective application of Ind AS 21 to business combinations

The Company has not applied Ind AS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates retrospectively to fair value adjustments and goodwill from business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has elected to apply this exemption.

g) Cumulative translation differences

Ind AS 101 permits cumulative translation gains and losses to be reset to zero at the transition date. This provides relief from determining cumulative currency translation differences in accordance with Ind AS 21 from the date subsidiary or equity method investee was formed or acquired. The Company elected to reset all cumulative translation gains and losses to zero by transferring it to opening retained earnings at its transition date.

h) Deemed cost

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets and investment property covered by Ind AS 40 Investment Properties.

Accordingly, The Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property at their previous GAAP carrying value.

i) Fair value measurement of financial assets or financial liabilities

First-time adopters may apply Ind AS 109 to day one gain or loss provisions prospectively to transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. Therefore, unless a first-time adopter elects to apply Ind AS 109 retrospectively to day one gain or loss transactions, transactions that occurred prior to the date of transition to Ind AS do not need to be retrospectively restated.

Accordingly, The Company has opted for recognizing gain or loss prospectively to transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS.

j) Leases

Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.

NOTE - 4 : Expenditure related to Corporate Social Responsibility as per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Schedule VII there of Rs. 7.01 millions

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds, ETFs and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize 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.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include

- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

- All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2.

Valuation processes

The finance department of the company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the audit committee (AC).

Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC and the valuation team quarterly, in line with the company’s quarterly reporting periods.

Changes in level 2 and 3 fair values are analyzed at the end of each reporting period during the quarterly valuation discussion between the CFO, AC and the valuation team. As part of this discussion the team presents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movements.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the company to cash flow interest rate risk. The company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in INR & USD.

The company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

PRICE RISK

The entity do not have any in investments in quoted securities or other equity instruments except for investments in group entities. Thus, the company is not exposed to any price risk.

NOTE 5: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total ‘equity’ (as shown in the balance sheet, including non-controlling interests).

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The company has not classified any financial asset as hedge instrument and hence, hedge accounting is not applicable.

NOTE 6:FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.

For other financial assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. The finance function consists of a separate team who assesses and maintains an internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performed on a group basis for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics.

Class 1 Quality

Class 2 Standard

Class 3 Sub Standard

Class 4 Doubtful

Class 5 Loss

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, group treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at local level in the operating companies of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Foreign Currency Risk

The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions and foreign currency loans, primarily with respect to the US$. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.

The company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure in foreign currency risk. The company measures the forward contract a fair value through profit and loss not classified as hedge.

The spot component of forward contracts is determined with reference to relevant spot market exchange rates. The differential between the contracted forward rate and the spot market exchange rate is defined as the forward points.

(a) Hedge of net investment in foreign entity
