5.2 The Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Chennai (NCLT) vide its order dated July 27, 2023 read with order dated September 20, 2023 has sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation ('Scheme') of the Company's Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) Parrys Investments Limited, Parrys Sugar Limited, and Parry Agrochem Exports Limited with a WOS of the Company, Parry Infrastructure Company Private Limited and consequent to filing of the Form INC 28 along with the Certified Copy of the Order with the Registrar of Companies on October 10, 2023, the Scheme has become effective from October 10, 2023 with appointed date of April 1,2022.

5.3 The carrying value of investments is more than the net worth of the subsidiaries/joint venture which is an indicator of potential impairment. The Company has performed a detailed impairment assessment. Based on the assessment performed, an impairment charge of H42,715 Lakhs was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2025 for Parry Sugars Refinery India Private Limited (March 31, 2024: Nil). With respect to other investments, no impairment charge is recognised for the year ended March 31, 2025 (March 31,2024: Nil). Also, refer note 43 for further details.

The Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on March 15, 2024 approved the sale of Investment in the Joint Venture, Algavista Greentech Private Limited and was accordingly classified as assets held for sale as at March 31,2024.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, management in discussion with the co-venturer has re-evaluated the plan and is now considering sale of the assets of the entity on a piecemeal basis rather than sale of investment and therefore the same has been reclassified to Noncurrent investment (Refer Note 5B). The Company expect that the fair value less cost to sell will be higher than the aggregate carrying amount of the related assets, based on Valuation Reports obtained. Therefore, no further impairment loss were recognised as at March 31,2025.

Note 47 - Employee benefit plans

A. Defined contribution plans

The Company makes Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised H594 Lakhs (year ended March 31,2024 - H584 Lakhs) for Provident Fund contributions, H365 Lakhs (year ended March 31, 2024 - H379 Lakhs) for Superannuation Fund contributions and H1 Lakhs (year ended March 31, 2024 - H1 Lakhs) for Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.

B. Defined benefit plans:

Gratuity -

In respect of Gratuity plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at March 31,2025 by Universal Actuaries and Benefit Consultants. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method. The following table sets forth the status of the Gratuity Plan of the Company and the amount recognized in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and ICICI.

The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.

The Company has invested the plan assets with the insurer managed funds. The insurance company has invested the plan assets in Government Securities, Debt Funds, Equity shares, Mutual Funds, Money Market Instruments and Time Deposits. The expected rate of return on plan asset is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligation.

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, attirition rate, expected salary increase. 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:

Please note that the sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

Positive represents increase and negative represents decrease in obligation.

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 an increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

The Company's best estimate of the contribution expected to be paid to the plan during the next year is H364 Lakhs (2024 - H693 Lakhs). Average duration of the Defined Benefit Obligation (Gratuity) is 7.24 years (2024 - 6 years)

C. Note on Provident Fund:

With respect to employees, who are covered under Provident Fund Trust administered by the Company, the Company shall make good deficiency, if any in the interest rate declared by Trust over statutory limit. Having regards to the assets of the fund and the return on the investments, the Company does not expect any deficiency in the foreseeable future. The Company contributed H446 Lakhs (year ended March 31,2024 - H357 Lakhs) for provident fund contributions to the trust.

The actuary has assessed the calculations of the Interest Rate Guarantees based on the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India. The disclosures required under Ind AS 19 is as set out below:

Note 49 - Financial instruments

49.1 Capital management

The Company's capital management is intended to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern and maximise the return to shareholders for meeting the long-term and short-term goals of the Company through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual and long-term operating plans and strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity and long-term/short-term borrowings. The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Net debt includes all long and short-term borrowings (including current maturities of long term debt) as reduced by cash and cash equivalents.

49.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Company has adequate internal processes to assess, monitor and manage financial risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest and currency swaps to hedge risk exposures and appropriate risk management policies as detailed below. The use of these financial instruments is governed by the Company's policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the investment of excess liquidity. The Company does not enter into trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

49.4 Market risk

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to market rate changes. The Company is exposed to the following significant market risks:

Ý Foreign currency risk

Ý Interest rate risk

Ý Other price risk

Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis. There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are being managed and measured.

49.4.1 Foreign currency risk management

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on account of exports and imports.

The Company has a forex policy in place whose objective is to reduce foreign exchange risk by deploying the appropriate hedging strategies (forward covers and options) and also by maintaining reasonable open exposures within approved parameters depending on the future outlook on currencies.

c. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in US Dollar. The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease against the US Dollar on the outstanding balance. 10% is the sensitivity used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only net outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the Rupee strengthens by 10% against the US Dollar. For a 10% weakening against the US Dollar, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity.

In management's opinion the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

49.4.2 Interest rate risk management

The Company issues commercial papers, draws working capital demand loans, cash credit etc. for meeting its funding requirements.

Interest rates on these borrowings are exposed to change in respective benchmark rates. The Company manages the interest rate risk by maintaining appropriate mix/portfolio of the borrowings.

a. Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined for borrowings assuming the amount of borrowings outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis points increase or decrease in case of rupee borrowings is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

Changes in interest rates by 50 basis from March 31, 2025, in case of rupee borrowings and all other variables were held constant, will impact the net annual interest expense on floating rate borrowing would by approximately H77 Lakhs (March 31,2024: H97 Lakhs).

49.4.3 Other price risks

The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Certain of the Company's equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Company also holds certain other equity investments for trading purposes.

a. Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower other comprehensive income/equity for the year ended March 31, 2025 would increase/ decrease by H382 Lakhs (H394 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2024) as a result of the changes in fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI. The impact of change in equity price on profit or loss is not significant.

49.5 Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

a. Impairment of financial assets other than Trade Receivables

The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The estimated gross carrying amount at default based on 12 month expected credit loss method is H Nil (March 31, 2024: H Nil) for investments, loans, deposits and other financial assets. There is no expected credit loss recognised for the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024.

Based on management's assessment there is no loss allowance for the loan given to subsidiary and the same is expected to be collected within the next twelve months (Refer Note 8).

b. Impairment of Trade Receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to the customer credit risk management. The Company uses financial information and past experience to evaluate credit quality of majority of its customers and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding receivables and the credit worthiness of its counterparties are periodically monitored and taken up on case to case basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low as its customers are located in several jurisdictions representing large number of minor receivables operating in independent markets. There is no material expected credit loss based on the past experience. However, the Company assesses the impairment by specific items of trade receivable and has accordingly created loss allowance on trade receivables. Expected Credit Loss has been computed for the Company as a whole as the credit profile of customers from all segments are similar.

49.7 Financing facilities

The Company has access to financing facilities of which H76,200 Lakhs (as at March 31, 2024: H95,416 Lakhs) were unused at the end of the reporting period. The Company expects to meet its other obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds of maturing financial assets.

49.8 Fair value measurements

Some of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation techniques and inputs used):
