Forward-looking Statements
In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and
take investment decisions. This Report and other statements—written and oral—that we periodically make contain forward-
looking statements that set out anticipated results based on the Management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried
wherever possible to identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’,
‘plans’, ‘believes’, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance.
We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in
our assumptions. The achievements of results are subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should
known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could
vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should bear this in mind. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes
1. 
Out of the above litigations, the Company has provided `54.02 crores against various litigations and remaining contingent liabilities
is `34.24 crores.

2. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has pronounced a ruling dated 28 February 2019 in which it is held that ‘allowance’ paid to employees, will be
included in the scope of ‘basic wages’ and thus, will be subject to provident fund contributions. Petitions have been filed with Hon'ble Supreme

Statutory Reports
Court of India seeking additional clarification with respect to the application of this ruling. As this ruling has not prescribed any clarification w.r.t.
to its application, the Company is in the process of evaluating its impact. Management believes that this will not result in any material liability
on the Company.

3. Customs duty claims (including penalties) against the Company aggregating to `220.26 crores (previous year `220.26 crores) have not been
considered contingent as favourable orders have been received, in some of the cases, by the Company from the Custom Excise and Service
Tax Appellate Tribunal. The Company believes that its position is strong in this regard. The matter is pending with the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if
any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.

Financial Statements
The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and
disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its financial statements. The Company also believes that the above issues, when finally

1. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, trade and other short-term receivables, investments, loans and
advances and other current liabilities approximated their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments.

2. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by
valuation technique.

(All amounts in ` crores, unless stated otherwise)

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments.
The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the
reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant

Statutory Reports
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 level 3.
This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

B. Measurement of fair values


Assets and liabilities are to be measured based on the following valuation techniques:

Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable
assets or liabilities.

Income approach – Converting the future amounts based on market expectations to its present value using the
discounting methodology.

Cost approach – Replacement cost method.

Quoted market prices in active markets are available for investments in securities and, as such, these investments are classified
within Level 1.

Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments which are
traded in stock exchanges and valued using closing price at the reporting date.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company
uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on the conditions existing at the
end of each reporting period.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values for financial instruments measured
at fair value in the balance sheet, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial liabilities*** The valuation model considers the present Not applicable Not applicable
value of payables, discounted using a risk

* The fair value of the security deposits is computed using the discounted cash flows based on the current lending rates which is unchanged and therefore fair value
of deposits is same as its carrying amount. They are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to use of observable inputs.
**For some of the unquoted investments, the Company have determined the fair value which is based on the net worth of the investee Company.
***Financial liabilities include secured and unsecured bank loans, optionally convertible debentures liability component and other financial liabilities.

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.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated
with the industry and country in which customers operate.

The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for
creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company review
includes external information, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in
some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Any sales exceeding those
limits require approval from the risk management committee.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of 10 days for all
customer categories. In case of delay beyond 10 days, the interest is generally recovered at the rate of 18% upto 30 days from the
date of invoice and if the delay in beyond 30 days, it is recovered at the rate of 24% from the date of invoice. Average recovery rate
of interest from overdue trade receivables in past years was 12-14%. Most of the Company’s customers have been transacting
with the Company from past few years, and most of these customers’ balances are not credit-impaired at the reporting date
except in few cases reported. Identifying concentrations of credit risk requires judgement in the light of specific circumstances.
The Company monitors ageing of its trade receivables regularly and based on the same takes corrective action. Trade receivables
having ageing more than 180 days is monitor individually and loss allowance is created based on such assessment.

A summary of the Company's exposure to credit risk for trade receivables based on the ageing is as follows:
As at 31 March 2020 As at 31 March 2019
Ageing of receivables Gross carrying Expected credit Gross carrying Expected credit

Less than 180 days 86.69 - 54.80 -

Expected credit loss during the year [net of reversal] (0.18) 52.46
Balance at the end of the year 55.36 55.54

(iii) 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. The Company uses activity-based costing
to cost its products, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising its cash return on investments.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and
undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments :

The Company has secured bank loans that contains certain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Company
to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. Covenants are monitored on regular basis by the treasury department
and regularly reported to management to ensure compliance with the agreement.

As at 31 March 2020 the Company has not complied with certain financial covenants mentioned under the terms of borrowings
mainly due to paucity of working capital funds. Therefore, based on the past experience and the facts of the case the management
believes that no material financial obligation on part of the Company, is likely to arise in respect of the above matter and thus, no
adjustments are required in these financial statements in this regard.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above reflect spot interest rates at the reporting date and these
amounts may change as market interest rates change. However, the Company doesn’t expect significant different amount on
account of change in market interest rate changes.

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices – 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.

Commodity price risk

Commodity Price Risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of crude oil. The Company has a risk management framework aimed
at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs. The Company’s commodity risk
is managed centrally through well-established control processes. In accordance with the risk management policy, the Company
enters into various transactions using derivatives to hedge its exposure, as and when required.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases
and borrowings are denominated. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars, Japanese
Yen and Euro. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, most with a maturity of less than one
year from the reporting date, as and when required.

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the INR, USD, JPY and Euro against all other currencies at year end would
have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by
the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores
any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

D. Capital management
The Company'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 primary objective of the Company's Capital Management is to maximise
the shareholder's value. Management also monitors the return on capital. The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance
between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by
a sound capital position.

Adoption of Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’


Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ replaces Ind AS 17 ‘Leases’ along with three interpretations (Appendix A ‘operating leases-incentives’,
Appendix B ‘evaluating the substance of transactions involving the legal form of a lease’ and Appendix C ‘determining whether
an arrangement contains a lease’).

The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Company recognising a right-of-use assets and related lease liability in
connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than
12 months from the date of initial application.

The new Standard has been applied using the modified retrospective method along with the transition option to recognise
right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the Lease Liability.

The Company has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset for operating leases
in existence at the date of initial application of Ind AS 116, being 01 April 2019. At this date, the Company has also elected to
measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that
existed at the date of transition.

(All amounts in ` crores, unless stated otherwise)

Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Company has relied
on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.

On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months the
Company has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a
straightline basis over the remaining lease term.

Statutory Reports
On transition to Ind AS 116, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under Ind
AS 116 was 9.50%

*Rent expense in term of short-term leases and low value leases
The Company has leases for office premises, residential properties and storage facilities. With the exception of short-term leases
and low value leases, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company
classifies its right-of-use assets to its property, plant and equipment.

Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to another
party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. The Company is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying
leased assets as security.

The table below describes the nature of the Company’s leasing activities by type of right-of-use asset recognised on balance sheet:

Lease payments not recognised as a liability

The Company has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short-term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or less)
or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis. The Company does
not have any liability to make variable lease payments for the right-to-use the underlying asset recognised in the financials.

The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability for short-term leases and leases of low
value is `4.06 crores.

At 31 March 2020, the Company was committed to short term-leases and leases of low value, and the total commitment as at
that date was `0.70 crores.

Total cash outflow for short term-leases and leases of low value for the year ended 31 March 2020 was `3.84 crores.

Notes
1. 
Out of the above litigations, the Company has provided `54.02 crores against various litigations and remaining contingent liabilities
is `34.24 crores.

2. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has pronounced a ruling dated 28 February 2019 in which it is held that ‘allowance’ paid to employees, will be
included in the scope of ‘basic wages’ and thus, will be subject to provident fund contributions. Petitions have been filed with Hon'ble Supreme
Court of India seeking additional clarification with respect to the application of this ruling. As this ruling has not prescribed any clarification
w.r.t. to its application, the Group is in the process of evaluating its impact. Management believes that this will not result in any material
liability on the Group.

3. Customs duty claims (including penalties) against the holding Company aggregating to `220.26 crores have not been considered contingent
as favourable orders have been received, in some of the cases, by the holding Company from the Custom Excise and Service Tax Appellate
Tribunal. The holding Company believes that its position is strong in this regard. The matter is pending with the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

38. Financial instruments - accounting classifications and fair value measurements


The fair values of the financial assets and financial 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 sales.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, trade and other short-term receivables, investments, loans and advances

Financial Statements
and other current liabilities approximated their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

2. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by
valuation technique.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments.
The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the
reporting period.

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

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

A. Accounting classifications and fair values


The following tables shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in
the fair value hierarchy.

B. Measurement of fair values


Assets and liabilities are to be measured based on the following valuation techniques:

Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable
assets or liabilities.

Income approach – Converting the future amounts based on market expectations to its present value using the
discounting methodology.

Cost approach – Replacement cost method.

Quoted market prices in active markets are available for investments in securities and, as such, these investments are classified
within Level 1.

Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments which are
traded in stock exchanges and valued using closing price at the reporting date.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company
uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on the conditions existing at the
end of each reporting period.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values for financial instruments
measured at fair value in the balance sheet, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Financial instruments measured at fair value


Type Valuation technique Significant unobservable inputs Inter-relationship between significant

Financial liabilities*** The valuation model considers the present Not applicable Not applicable

* The fair value of the security deposits is computed using the discounted cash flows based on the current lending rates which is unchanged and therefore fair value
of deposits is same as its carrying amount. They are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to use of observable inputs.

**For some of the unquoted investments, the Company have determined the fair value which is based on the net worth of the investee Company.
***Financial liabilities include secured and unsecured bank loans, optionally convertible debentures liability component and other financial liabilities.

C. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- market risk

(i) Risk management framework


The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management
framework. The board of directors has established the risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and
monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate
risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly
to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements

Corporate Overview
Summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information for the year ended 31 March 2020

(All amounts in ` crores, unless stated otherwise)

The Company’s risk committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies
and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The
audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk
management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

(ii) Credit risk

Statutory Reports
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.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated
with the industry and country in which customers operate.

The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for

Financial Statements
creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company review
includes external information, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in
some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Any sales exceeding those
limits require approval from the risk management committee.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of 10 days for all
customer categories. In case of delay beyond 10 days, the interest is generally recovered at the rate of 18% upto 30 days from the
date of invoice and if the delay in beyond 30 days, it is recovered at the rate of 24% from the date of invoice. Average recovery rate
of interest from overdue trade receivables in past years was 12-14%. Most of the Company’s customers have been transacting
with the Company from past few years, and most of these customers’ balances are not credit-impaired at the reporting date
except in few cases reported. Identifying concentrations of credit risk requires judgement in the light of specific circumstances.
The Company monitors ageing of its trade receivables regularly and based on the same takes corrective action. Trade receivables
having ageing more than 180 days is monitor individually and loss allowance is created based on such assessment.

A summary of the Company's exposure to credit risk for trade receivables based on the ageing is as follows:
As at 31 March 2020
Ageing of receivables Gross carrying Expected credit
amount loss
Less than 180 days 86.69 -
More than 180 days 60.13 55.36
146.82 55.36
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables and loans is as follows:
As at
31 March 2020
Balance at the beginning of the year 55.54
Expected credit loss during the year [net of reversal] (0.18)
Balance at the end of the year 55.36

(iii) 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. The Company uses activity-based costing
to cost its products, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising its cash return on investments.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and
undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments:

Other financial liabilities 27.24 16.99 44.23
Total 743.81 323.49 1,067.30

The Company has secured bank loans that contains certain loan covenants. A future breach of covenant may require the Company
to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. Covenants are monitored on regular basis by the treasury department
and regularly reported to management to ensure compliance with the agreement.

As at 31 March 2020 the Company has not complied with certain financial covenants mentioned under the terms of borrowings
mainly due to paucity of working capital funds. Therefore, based on the past experience and the facts of the case the management
believes that no material financial obligation on part of the Company, is likely to arise in respect of the above matter and thus, no
adjustments are required in these financial statements in this regard.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above reflect spot interest rates at the reporting date and these
amounts may change as market interest rates change. However, the Company doesn’t expect significant different amount on
account of change in market interest rate changes.

(iv) Market risk


Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices – 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.

Commodity price risk


Commodity Price Risk Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of crude oil. The Company has a risk management
framework aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs. The Company’s
commodity risk is managed centrally through well-established control processes. In accordance with the risk management policy,
the Company enters into various transactions using derivatives to hedge its exposure, as and when required.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases
and borrowings are denominated. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars, Japanese
Yen and Euro. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, most with a maturity of less than one
year from the reporting date, as and when required.

Exposure to currency risk


The summary quantitative data about the Company's exposure to currency risk (based on notional amounts) as reported to the
management is as follows.

(i) Unhedged foreign currency risk exposure:

D. Capital management
The Company'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 primary objective of the Company's Capital Management is to maximise the
shareholder's value. Management also monitors the return on capital. The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between
the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound
capital position.

an arrangement contains a lease’).

Annual Report 2019-20 181


Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
Summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information for the year ended 31 March 2020

(All amounts in ` crores, unless stated otherwise)

The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the holding Company recognising a right-of-use assets and related lease liability
in connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than
12 months from the date of initial application.

The new Standard has been applied using the modified retrospective method along with the transition option to recognise
right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the Lease Liability.

The holding Company has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset for operating
leases in existence at the date of initial application of Ind AS 116, being 01 April 2019. At this date, the holding Company has
also elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease
payments that existed at the date of transition.

Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the holding Company has
relied on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.

On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months the
holding Company has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense
on a straightline basis over the remaining lease term.

On transition to Ind AS 116, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under Ind
AS 116 was 9.50%.

A. Reconciliation of total operating lease commitments at 31 March 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised at 01 April 2019 :
Particulars Amount
Operating lease commitments at 31 March 2019 36.53
Remeasurement 8.73
Lease liabilities at 1 April 2019 27.80

B. The following are amounts recognised in profit or loss :


March 2020
Depreciation expense of right-of-use assets 5.30
Interest expense on lease liabilities 2.42
Rent expense* 4.06
Total 11.78
*Rent expense in term of short-term leases and low value leases

The holding Company has leases for office premises, residential properties and storage facilities. With the exception of short-term
leases and low value leases, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The holding
Company classifies its right-of-use assets to its property, plant and equipment.

Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the holding Company to sublet the asset to
another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the holding Company. The holding Company is prohibited from selling
or pledging the underlying leased assets as security.

Lease payments not recognised as a liability


The holding Company has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short-term leases (leases with an expected term of 12
months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis.
The holding Company does not have any liability to make variable lease payments for the right-to-use the underlying asset
recognised in the financials.

Statutory Reports
The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability for short-term leases and leases of low
value is `4.06 crores.

At 31 March 2020, the holding Company was committed to short term-leases and leases of low value, and the total commitment
as at that date was `0.70 crores.

Total cash outflow for short term-leases and leases of low value for the year ended 31 March 2020 was `3.84 crores.
