The Group’s trade and other receivables are actively monitored to review credit worthiness of the customers to whom credit<br />

terms are granted and also avoid significant concentrations of credit risks.<br />

The Group’s interest-rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to<br />

cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk.<br />

Foreign Currency sensitivity<br />

The overseas entities of the Group operate in different countries. The functional currency of such entities is the currency<br />

being used in that particular country. The bulk of contributions to the Group’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses in<br />

foreign currency are denominated in US Dollar and EURO. Apart from US Dollar, foreign currency transactions are entered<br />

into by entities in GBP, Swiss Francs and several other currencies as applicable in the country in which the particular entity<br />

operates. However, the size of these entities relative to the total Group and the volume of transactions in such currencies<br />

are not material.<br />

Thus, the foreign currency sensitivity analysis has been performed in relation to US Dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR).<br />

US Dollar conversion rate was ` 44.74 at the beginning of the year and scaled to a high of ` 47.51 and to low of ` 44.05.<br />

The closing rate is ` 44.68. Considering the volatility in direction of strengthening dollar upto 5%, the sensitivity analysis<br />

has been disclosed at 5% movements on strengthening and weakening effect for presenting comparable movement due<br />

to currency fluctuations.<br />
