5. Outlook for NMDC
NMDC proposes to augment its production capacity of iron ore to 67 million tonnes by FY’25. It has also
embarked on value addition projects by setting up a 1.2 MTPA pellet plant utilizing slimes in Karnataka and a
3.0 MTPA integrated steel plant in Chhattisgarh. NMDC-CMDC Limited (NCL), a JV company of NMDC Limited
& CMDC Limited, will also start production from Dep-13 through MDO in the near future. Dep-4 has been also
allocated to NMDC in Sep’19, which will add further value to NMDC production & profit numbers. NMDC has
also developed an intermediate stockpile at Kumarmaranga near Jagdlapur to ensure an uninterrupted supply
of ore to the customers. To augment evacuation capacity, NMDC is supporting on Doubling of K-K line (Kirandul-
Kotvatsala), Rowghat-Jagdalpur line, Slurry Pipeline, etc
To diversify further its business, NMDC is planning to start one of the Coal Mine, namely Tokisud North,
Jharkhand in FY’23. NMDC will also start actions to operationalize the other allocated Coal Block, Rohne, in
the next 2-3 years. NMDC also participated in the auction of the Gold mine & declared as preferred bidder for
Chigugunta-Bisanatham Gold Block in A.P. NMDC will take action to start the gold mine after LOI will be issued
by the state government.
NMDC has recently prepared its Internationalisation Strategy to venture into various identified minerals &
geographies & will continue to look for opportunistic assets based on the recommendation & strategy in the
formulated report.
NMDC is committed to focusing on maintaining cost competitiveness in the global and domestic markets in
a scenario where prices are expected to remain subdued. Further, NMDC is taking various initiatives towards
automation & digitization of its operation to further improve its cost competitiveness.
Along with robust strategic planning to support its growth agenda, NMDC continues to enhance organizational
capabilities and other enablers to achieve its short-term and long-term objectives.
6. Risks and Concerns
NMDC is exposed to sharp fluctuations in demand for its products and volatility in prices. Falling prices of iron
ore, specially in international market will support the import by the steel players & exert pressure on domestic
supply & prices.
Introduction of Auction rule has increased risks for NMDC as its major customers have acquired captive mines
in mineral-rich states, mainly JSW & AM-NS. Both JSW & AM-NS has already started production from newly
acquired mines & planned to increase it further in the near future. New tranches of auction is likely to add
further capacity of iron ore to steel players as well as other merchant players in near futyre. This is likely to
adversely impact the market for NMDC over the medium to long term.
Kumarswamy mine is due for extension of lease in Oct’22, which will again impact the EBITDA of the company.

GLOBAL COMPACT – COMMUNICATION ON PROGRESS
ED/EPS/GC/03

24.06.2022

Dear Stakeholder,

The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), with a spread of over 161 countries, 16100 Corporate participants, is the
World’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

UNGC is a call to companies to align strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labour,
environment and anti-corruption (ten principles) and take strategic actions to advance broader societal goals, such as
the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation.

The world today is facing unprecedented environmental challenges in areas including climate change, clean water,
biodiversity etc. New efforts are needed to increase stewardship of natural resources, implement innovative solutions,
and contribute to sustainable development. As the world looks to recover better from the global pandemic and
implement the transformative change necessary to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C, collective action will be
critical to assess environmental risks and opportunities, set and deliver ambitious environmental targets and adopt
responsible practices for a transition to the net-zero, resilient economy.

The quality of a Company’s relationships and engagement with its stakeholders is critical. Companies affect what
happens to employees, workers in the value chain, customers and local communities, and it is important to manage
impacts proactively. Businesses’ social license to operate depends greatly on their social sustainability efforts. In
addition, a lack of social development, including poverty and inequality can hamper business operations and growth.

In Today’s business landscape, good governance is a critical challenge, which requires efforts that are mutually
reinforcing. Companies have to enhance good governance by integrating corporate sustainability principles into their
own operations and relationships, allowing for greater transparency, accountability and inclusiveness.

At NMDC, we have been following the principles of the UN Global Compact and have adopted many frameworks
developed by UNGC. We have embedded sustainability into our strategies and have been taking proactive action to
secure a resilient future. Our efforts address the linkages among various environmental issues — climate, water,
biodiversity — as well as the social and governance dimensions. In this Decade of Action, NMDC has scaled up its
efforts to towards the Sustainable Development Goals and the ambitious targets set in the Paris Agreement.

Our efforts, be it the CSR initiatives, or sustainable – eco-friendly mining or putting the societal interests ahead
of NMDC’s own, have been appreciated by the stakeholders. As we go forward, I reiterate NMDC’s commitment to
ensure that the 10 principles and the 17 SDGs of UNGC are adhered to, not only by NMDC, but also encourage those
with whom it does business to adhere to them. I call upon all the stakeholders to partner us in achieving these noble
goals.

With warm regards,

Yours sincerely

Sumit Deb
Chairman-cum-Managing Director

availability of skilled and experienced manpower does
not hold ground.
b) As per Clause 15.3 of the O&M contract with KIOCL, the
Company was to induct 34 personnel annually and get
them trained by KlOCL. For this. NMDC was to pay ` 4.69
crore to KIOCL as training and capacity building fee and
in return it could get a discount of ` 12.73 crore from
the O&M charges payable. As per this provision, by the
end of three years, 102 personnel of the Company could
have been trained. However, no manpower of NMDC was
inducted during 2nd and 3rd year. This led to award of
O&M contract of Plant for extended period to KIOCL, on
the grounds of lack of skilled manpower to operate and
supervise the Plant and subsequently the contract was
outsourced to other contractors as mentioned above.
c) As the contract with KIOCL was concluding by 31
July 2018, the Company should have taken note of the
capacity utilization and constraints in operation of the
Plants and taken pro-active measures by the end of
3rd year of O&M contract to bring economy in the O&M
expenses. The Company in its note (November 2018)
seeking extension of the O&M contract for fourth year,
stated that an Open Tender Enquiry will he floated for
fifth year for availing competitive rates linked to scale
of operations. The Company initiated the proposal for
issue of Open Tender Enquiry in May 2019 stating that
even recovery of O&M contract cost placed on KIOCL
was not feasible at that point of time. Thereafter, Open
Tender Enquiry was issued on 8 July 2019 and contracts
for outsourcing of O&M services were awarded only in
October 2019. Hence, the Company could not even award
contract from start of the fifth year (1 August 2019) on
competitive terms and O&M contract with KIOCL had
to be extended by another three months (1 August to
31 October 2019) at ` 11.34 crore excluding GST. So
far as savings of ` 40.16 crore mentioned in the reply
of Ministry/ Management is concerned, this has been
worked out from November 2019 to July 2020 for not
extending the KIOCL contract for another nine months,
instead of considering the savings of ` 36.65 crore, the
Company could have made for the period August 2018
to October 2019, had it acted timely and outsourced the
works on competitive terms.
Thus, lack of due diligence on the part of the Company
in extending O&M contract without reference to the
actual scale of operations resulted in avoidable extra
expenditure of ` 36.65 crore.

The Company has issued letter of comfort in favour of International Coal Venture (P) Limited (ICVL) in furtherance
for providing Corporate Guarantee of US$ 30 Mn by them to EXIM Bank on behalf of Minas De Benga Limitada,
Mozambique (Borrower), a downstream operating subsidiary of ICVL, New Delhi in respect of short term working
capital loan. The said letter of comfort does not in any way constitute the guarantee or security by the Company of the
duties of the borrower to meet its obligation under the said facility.

1.3 : Disputed claims under ‘ Karnataka Forest Act:


Government of Karnataka had introduced Forest Development Tax (FDT), to pay @ 12% on the sale value of iron
ore with effect from 27.08.2008. NMDC preferred an appeal before Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and the court
passed an interim order directing the Company to pay 50% of FDT, consisting of 25% in cash and balance 25% in the
form of Bank Guarantee. As against the total FDT demand of ` 487.37 Crore ( from August 2008 to Sep-2011), the
Company has deposited an amount of ` 121.84 Crore (25%) in cash which has been shown as amount recoverable and
submitted a bank guarantee for similar amount. An amount of ` 365.53 Crore (balance 50% amount of ` 243.69 Crore
plus 121.84 Crore paid and accounted as amount recoverable) is included under disputed claims at 1.1.A. The amount
of ` 121.84 Crore for which BG was given is included under contingent liability on BGs’ at 1.2.
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka vide order dated 03.12.2015 has quashed the orders of Government of Karnataka
levying the FDT and ordered refund of the tax collected within three months and accordingly the Company has lodged
refund claims. However, Government of Karnataka has filed a Special Leave Petition with Hon'ble Supreme Court of
India, challenging the orders of Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has accepted the
same and imposed stay on refund of the FDT amount.
Meanwhile Karnataka State Govt. had enacted Karnataka Forest (Amendment) Act 2016 vide Gazette notification
dated 27.07.2016. The amendment substituted the word ‘Tax’ in the principal act to ‘Fee’ w.e.f 16th day of Aug 2008.
Based on this the Monitoring Committee had started billing the Forest Development Fee in its invoices. Meanwhile
consumers in Karnataka had filed separate Writ Petitions in Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka on the above. Karnataka
High Court vide its order dated 20th Sept. 2016, had ordered that State Govt may restrain from collecting FDF during
the pendency of the writ petition, subject to the condition of furnishing bank guarantee in respect of 25% of the
demand in relation to future transactions. Karnataka State Govt. had approached Hon’ble Supreme Court on this.
Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 13.02.2017 modified the order of High Court of Karnataka and ordered for
payment of 50% of the demanded amount and furnish Bond for balance amount.
The amount billed by the monitoring committee amounting to ` 93.85 crore towards FDF has been accounted under
sales revenue during the Financial year 2017-18. As, the Karnataka High Court vide its judgement dated 4th October
2017 has declared the Karnataka Forests (Amendment) Act, 2016 which was introduced for collection of Forest
Development Fee (FDF) as unconstitutional, No FDF was collected nor paid with effect from 5th October 2017.

2.32.2. Segment Reporting as per Ind - AS-108


A. Basis for segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the company that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments’
operating results are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated
to the segments and assess their performance.
The company has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the company's strategic business units.
These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require
different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the company’s Board reviews internal
management reports on a periodic basis.
The following summary describes the operations in each of the company's reportable segments:
B. Information about reportable segments
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on
segment profit (before tax), segment revenue and segment capital employed as included in the internal management
reports that are reviewed by the board of directors. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management
believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other
entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The Company applied the following judgement that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of
revenue from contract with customers:
¾¾ Determining method to estimate variable consideration and assessing the constraint
Contract price for sale of goods is subject to adjustment towards difference in goods composition than what was
agreed and forex gain or loss, which results in variable consideration. In estimating the variable consideration, the
Company is required to use either the expected value method or the most likely amount method based on which
method better predicts the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled.
The Company determined that the expected value method is the appropriate method to use in estimating the variable
consideration for the sale of goods with adjustment towards difference in goods composition then what was agreed
and forex gain or loss, given the large number of possible outcome under such contracts.
Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers whether
the amount of variable consideration is constrained. The Company determined that the estimates of variable
consideration are not constrained based on its historical experience, business forecast and the current economic
conditions. In addition, the uncertainty on the variable consideration will be resolved within a short time frame.
2.32.4: Accounting policies, change in Accounting Estimates and Errors ( As per Ind-AS 8):

account. After receipt of GST amount from Pellet Plant, DIOM/KIOM is issuing advance receipt confirming the receipt
of GST from Pellet Plant along with necessary statutory Documents to MC in the prescribed format. Based on the

materials. DIOM/KIOM is raising Tax invoice on Pellet Plant for the dispatched quantity, showing it as sales and also
paying GST to Government.

followed due to Compulsion made by MC as they have denied permission for Pellet Plant to lift the Iron Ore without
participating in auction and accordingly, separate GST registration is also taken as per MC instructions.
However, the entry for un-realized profit on sale of Iron Ore to Pellet Plant is accounted.
2.34.10 Review for Impairment of Investment in Legacy Iron Ore Ltd, Australia (LIOL):
The total investment of the Company in LIOL is ` 214.70 cr as on 31.3.2022. This is 90.05% of the total shareholding of
the Company. This investment in Legacy was reviewed for impairment with reference to Ind AS 36.
It is noted that the period of exploration is not expired and exploration activity are being continued and the company
has not reached the stage of establishing the commercial viability of the tenements. Legacy Iron Ore Limited is an
active exploration company with a diverse portfolio. For an exploration company, the future cash flows are from the
exploration tenements which have been recognised as assets ie., Exploration and Evaluation (E&E) Assets. LIOL E&E
assets as on 31.03.2022 is ` 91.83 crores (Previous year ` 77.38 crores).
LIOL is systematically exploring all the exploration tenements that are at varying levels of exploration potential and
maturity. The company plans to continue exploration in all the above tenements and does not intend to surrender
the current list of tenements. It is observed that the total mineral resources estimated from Mt. Celia Project is
increased to 3,12,600 ounces from 1,79,700 ounces during the previous period. NMDC has a positive outlook based
on the progress and success that is achieved so far in exploration works of Mt.Celia Gold project towards mining and
also identification of 3,12,000 ounces of gold metal resources. Hence, the FVLCTS shall normally be more than the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets as per the balance sheet.
Further the quoted price of LIOL share as on 31.3.2022 is AUD $ 0.019 (Previous year AUD $0.014) with a market
capitalisation of AUD 121.69 million (Previous year $89.67 million). The market capitalisation of the company is more
than its net assets of AUD 23.32 million (Previous $23.89 million) as on 31.3.2022. NMDCs share of Market cap @
90.05% amounts to approx. ` 622.09 crores (Previous year ` 449.76 crores) which is more than the investment of
` 214.70 crores in LIOL.
Further, Legacy has also entered in to a new JV agreement, for Mt.Bevan Iron ore project, partnering with Hancock
Prospecting Pty Ltd (HPPL) which is a mining giant in Australia with rich experience of developing green field iron ore
projects. This has opened pathway for Legacy to develop its Iron Ore project which has led to further increase in the
market value to more than AUD 186 million as on 03.05.2022.
In view of above no impairment is considered for Goodwill as well as Investment in LIOL for the current FY 2021-22.
2.34.11 Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd (NINL) disinvestment:
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had accorded in principle approval for strategic disinvestment of

Tata Steel Long Products (TSLP) has purchased the NINL at a price of ` 12,100 crores and Government has already
signed SPA with TSLP. The total liabilities of NINL is around ` 6,600 crores.
NMDC along with all other Associates has entered Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with TSLP on 10.03.2022.
NMDC holds total exposure of ` 188.65 crore (PY- ` 189.07 crores) in the form of Equity investment of ` 100.60 Crore
(PY – ` 100.60 crore) and a Loan of ` 80.52 Crore (PY – ` 81.60 crore ) and interest thereon of ` 7.53 crore (PY –
` 6.87 crore) as on 31.3.2022. The shareholding of NMDC in NINL is also being put up for strategic disinvestment
and the entire value of ` 197.16 Crores is expected to be recovered. Further, as per the loan agreement dated 30th
December 2019, the loan amount outstanding along with interest shall be paid back to NMDC as first charge from the
disinvestment proceeds as per the applicable laws before payment of other liabilities of NINL.
In view of the above high bid, NMDC would recover all its Loans and Equity. Hence no impairment is considered
necessary as on 31.03.2022.

A. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and deposits with banks.
(a) Trade receivables
The Company sales are generally based on advance payments and through LC's. The trade receivables in
the books are mainly on account of credit sales to M/s RINL Limited, CPSE under the Ministry of Steel and
the Sales of Iron Ore in the State of Karantaka which is through Montoring Committee (MC) appointed by
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

The impairment provisions for trade receivables disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of
default and expected loss rates.
(b) Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance
with DPE guidelines & Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with scheduled
commercial banks having a minimum networth of ` 500 Crore within limits assigned to each bank and
Debt based mutual funds of public sector AMCs. The limits are reviewed by the Company’s Board of
Directors on an annual basis. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore
mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.
B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for
a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme
circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. In addition, the Company has
taken fund based limits with banks to meet its short term financial obligations.

C. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will
affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
the return.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Since majority of the company's operations are being carried out in India and since all the material balances
are denominated in its functional currency, the company does not carry any material exposure to currency
fluctuation risk.
The Company's exposure to foreign currencies is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.
(ii) 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 quite often bridges its short term cash flow
mismatch by availing working capital loans from banks against its fixed deposits. Such loans have a very short
tenure and the interest rate on such loans is based upon the rates offered by banks on fixed deposits , increased
by a few basis points. Since the interest rates on fixed deposits are fixed, the company does not have any
interest rate risk on such loans availed on a loan to loan basis.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.

1.4 : Disputed claims under ‘ Karnataka Forest Act:
Government of Karnataka had introduced Forest Development Tax (FDT), to pay @ 12% on the sale value of iron
ore with effect from 27.08.2008. NMDC preferred an appeal before Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and the court
passed an interim order directing the Company to pay 50% of FDT, consisting of 25% in cash and balance 25% in the
form of Bank Guarantee. As against the total FDT demand of ` 487.37 Crore ( from August 2008 to Sep-2011), the
Company has deposited an amount of ` 121.84 Crore (25%) in cash which has been shown as amount recoverable and
submitted a bank guarantee for similar amount. An amount of ` 365.53 Crore (balance 50% amount of ` 243.69 Crore
plus 121.84 Crore paid and accounted as amount recoverable) is included under disputed claims at 1.1.A. The amount
of ` 121.84 Crore for which BG was given is included under contingent liability on BGs’ at 1.2.
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka vide order dated 03.12.2015 has quashed the orders of Government of Karnataka
levying the FDT and ordered refund of the tax collected within three months and accordingly the Company has lodged
refund claims. However, Government of Karnataka has filed a Special Leave Petition with Hon'ble Supreme Court of

2.33.2. Segment Reporting as per Ind - AS-108


A. Basis for segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the company that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating
segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources
to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The company has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the company's strategic business
units. These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they
require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the company’s Board
reviews internal management reports on a periodic basis.
The following summary describes the operations in each of the company's reportable segments:
B. Information about reportable segments
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured
based on segment profit (before tax), segment revenue and segment capital employed as included in the
internal management reports that are reviewed by the board of directors. Segment profit is used to measure
performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results
of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is
determined on an arm's length basis.

acceptance letter issued by Monitoring committee and as per the guidelines given by Hon’ble Supreme Court of India,
Pellet plant is paying Basic value, Royalty Value and bulk permit fee value to MC and GST amount to NMDC Donimalai
account. After receipt of GST amount from Pellet Plant, DIOM/KIOM is issuing advance receipt confirming the receipt
of GST from Pellet Plant along with necessary statutory Documents to MC in the prescribed format. Based on the
advance receipt issued by DIOM/KIOM, Monitoring Committee is issuing bulk permit to Pellet Plant for lifting of
materials. DIOM/KIOM is raising Tax invoice on Pellet Plant for the dispatched quantity, showing it as sales and also
paying GST to Government.

A. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and deposits with banks.
(a) Trade receivables
The Company sales are generally based on advance payments and through LC's. The trade receivables in the
books are mainly on account of credit sales to M/s RINL Limited, CPSE under the Ministry of Steel and the Sales
of Iron Ore in the State of Karantaka which is through Montoring Committee (MC) appointed by Hon'ble Supreme
Court of India.

The impairment provisions for trade receivables disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and
expected loss rates.
(b) Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with
DPE guidelines & Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with scheduled commercial
banks having a minimum networth of ` 500 Crore within limits assigned to each bank and Debt based mutual
funds of public sector AMCs. The limits are reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on an annual
basis. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through
counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.
B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for
a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme
circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. In addition, the Company has
taken fund based limits with banks to meet its short term financial obligations.

C. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will
affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
the return.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Since majority of the company's operations are being carried out in India and since all the material
balances are denominated in its functional currency, the company does not carry any material exposure to
currency fluctuation risk.
The Company's exposure to foreign currencies is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.
(ii) 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 quite often bridges its short term cash flow
mismatch by availing working capital loans from banks against its fixed deposits. Such loans have a very
short tenure and the interest rate on such loans is based upon the rates offered by banks on fixed deposits
, increased by a few basis points. Since the interest rates on fixed deposits are fixed, the company does not
have any interest rate risk on such loans availed on a loan to loan basis.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is minimal and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.
Note No. : 2.35.17 Capital Management
a) Risk management
The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value. The
Company's objectives when managing the 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.
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors and senior management
monitors the return on capital, which the Company defines as result from operating activities divided by total
shareholders’ equity.
