Hedges of changes in the interest rates:<br />
Consistent with its risk management policy, the Company uses interest rate swaps (including cross currency interest rate swaps) to mitigate the risk of<br />
changes in the interest rates. The Company does not use them for trading or speculative purposes.<br />
The changes in fair value of such interest rate swaps (including cross currency interest rate swaps) are recognized as part of finance cost. Accordingly,<br />
the Company has recorded, as part of finance cost, a net loss of ` 10 and a net gain of ` 259 for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2014, respectively.<br />
As at 31 March 2015, the Company has outstanding interest rate swap arrangements that hedge a portion of interest rate risk arising from floating rate,<br />
dollar denominated foreign currency borrowing of USD 165 million.<br />
Derivative financial instruments valuation:<br />
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions and banks. Derivatives valued using<br />
valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option<br />
contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using<br />
present value calculations.<br />
The Company had derivative financial assets and derivative financial liabilities of ` 979 and ` 639, respectively, as of 31 March 2015 as compared<br />
to derivative financial asset and derivative financial liabilities of ` 580 and ` 339, respectively, as of 31 March 2014 towards these derivative financial<br />
instruments.<br />
