Impairment loss on certain investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures has been recognised considering the performance of these companies and their future projections. The Company has long-term investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures which are measured at cost less impairment or at fair value through profit or loss. The management assesses the performance of these entities including the future projections, relevant economic and market conditions in which they operate to identify if there is any indicator of impairment in the carrying value of the investments. In case indicators of impairment exist, the impairment loss is measured by estimating the recoverable amounts based on the higher of (i) ‘fair value less cost of disposal’ determined using market price information, where available, and (ii) ‘value-in-use’ estimates determined using discounted cash flow projections or such other valuation models, where available. The recoverable amount estimates are based on judgments, estimates, assumptions and market data as on reporting date and ignore subsequent changes in the economic and market conditions. During the year ended 31st March 2026, the performance of certain subsidiaries along with capital allocation decisions, coupled with the relevant economic and market indicators resulted in indicators of impairment in respect of certain entities. Accordingly, the Company determined the recoverable amounts of these entities and recorded a provision of Rs. 668.37 crores (2025: Rs.735.66 crores) for the year ended 31st March 2026. 33.
