Integrated Annual Report 2020-21

Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances/investments with banks and financial institutions is managed in accordance with the Company’s treasury
risk management policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to
each counterparty. The limits are assigned based on corpus of investable surplus and corpus of the investment avenue. The limits
are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make
payments.

Financial guarantees
Financial guarantees disclosed in note 45.1(b) have been provided as corporate guarantees to financial institutions and banks that
have extended credit facilities to the Company's subsidiaries. In this regard, the Company does not foresee any significant credit risk
exposure.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The objective of
liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as and when required.
The Treasury Risk Management Policy includes an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
short-term, medium-term and long term funding and cash management requirements. The Company manages the liquidity risk
by maintaining adequate cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company invests its surplus funds in
bank fixed deposit and liquid schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/negligible mark to market risks.
The below table analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities as at the reporting date, into relevant maturity groupings
based on the remaining period (as at that date) to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the below table are the
contractual undiscounted cash flows.
