Chairman's Message

Dear Shareholders,

I write this message with immense pride, gratitude, and optimism. FY2026 has been a landmark year in the journey of Data Patterns (India) Limited with an excellent financial performance and an all-time high order book in the Company's history. This milestone represents much more than business growth. It also reflects the continued confidence that our customers, partners, and stakeholders have placed in our capabilities, our execution track record, and our long-term commitment to strengthening India's defence ecosystem.

The world today is witnessing profound geopolitical shifts. Conflicts across regions, growing security concerns, and rapid technological advancements have fundamentally altered the way nations approach defence preparedness. Closer home, Operation Sindoor demonstrated the importance of indigenous defence capabilities and the strategic value of technological self-reliance. The successful deployment of the BrahMos missile system during this period was a proud moment for every Indian. For all of us at Data Patterns, it carried a special significance, knowing that our Company contributed to a programme of such national importance reinforces our belief that our work extends beyond products and platforms. Our efforts ultimately contribute to safeguarding the nation and strengthening India's strategic capabilities.

These developments have also accelerated India's journey towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The country's focus on indigenisation, increasing defence allocations, and growing participation of private industry are creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Indian defence technology companies. Data Patterns is well positioned to participate in this transformation.

From the very beginning, our philosophy has been simple, we invest ahead of opportunities. In the defence sector, companies cannot wait for opportunities to emerge before developing capabilities. To participate meaningfully in future programmes, products must already be developed, validated, and ready for deployment. This belief has guided our investments for many years and continues to shape our strategy today.

We have consistently focused on identifying technology gaps, developing indigenous solutions, and creating products in areas where domestic alternatives are limited or unavailable. Our objective is not merely to participate in existing markets but to expand our addressable opportunity through innovation, engineering excellence, and intellectual property creation.

During FY26, we continued to strengthen our capabilities across radars, electronic warfare systems, avionics, communication systems, and strategic defence electronics. The Company recorded order inflows of approximately ₹1,121 crore during the year, representing growth of 216% year-on-year. These orders were diversified across multiple defence and aerospace programmes, reflecting growing customer confidence in our technological capabilities and execution excellence.

A key driver of our future growth continues to be our investment in research and development. Over the last few years, we have invested significantly in building indigenous capabilities across radar systems, electronic warfare, communication systems, airborne platforms, and strategic defence technologies. Many of these programmes have now reached advanced stages of development and validation.

Our electronic warfare suites, including self-protection jammer pods for Indian fighter aircraft, have received encouraging feedback and are progressing towards the next stages of testing. We are also expanding our portfolio in airborne surveillance radars, maritime applications, drone detection and counter-drone technologies, electronic support systems, and advanced surveillance solutions. I firmly believe that the next phase of growth for Data Patterns will be driven by these differentiated, high-value systems designed and developed in-house.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

Another encouraging development has been the growing acceptance of our capabilities in international markets. Our products have always been meeting the demanding global standards, and we are increasingly seeing interest from customers outside India.

The successful development, export, and acceptance of the Transportable Precision Approach Radar (TPAR) by a European customer represents an important milestone in this journey. Our export business continued to make steady progress during FY26, with an export order book of approximately ₹53 crore as on date. We continue to execute repeat business from the United Kingdom while actively engaging with customers across Europe and other international markets.

We believe exports will become an increasingly important pillar of our long-term growth strategy. As countries around the world increase defence spending, modernise their armed forces, and diversify supply chains, Indian defence companies are gaining greater visibility and acceptance. With our strong

design capabilities, proven execution track record, and ability to deliver advanced systems within competitive timelines, Data Patterns is well positioned to emerge as a trusted global partner in defence electronics and mission-critical systems.

Financially, FY26 was another strong year for the Company. Revenue grew by 31% year-on-year to ₹925 crore, while EBITDA increased by 35% year-on-year to 371 crore. These results reflect disciplined execution, operational efficiency, and our continued focus on profitable growth. Equally important, we continue to maintain a strong net cash position and a debt-free balance sheet, providing us with the flexibility to invest in additional infrastructure and future technologies while preserving financial strength.

Looking ahead, I am more confident about the future than ever before. The opportunities before us are significant, supported by rising defence spending, increasing indigenisation, growing demand for advanced electronics, and expanding global opportunities. Our healthy order book, strong technology pipeline, and continued investments in future products provide a solid foundation for long-term growth.

More importantly, our ambition extends beyond financial performance. We aspire to build a globally respected Indian defence technology company that contributes meaningfully to national security, technological leadership, and India's self-reliance journey.

As I reflect on the year gone by, I am filled with gratitude. Our achievements would not have been possible without the dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, the support of our partners, and the confidence of our shareholders. On behalf of the Board, I thank each one of you for being part of this remarkable journey.

Together, we will continue to innovate with purpose, build with conviction, and contribute to a stronger, safer, and more self-reliant India.

Warm Regards,

social value, creating a positive and enduring impact for the communities we serve.

Environment, Health & Safety: A Responsibility Always

The safety, health and well-being of our people remain at the heart of our operations and are integral to our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices. Guided by our internationally certified Integrated Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System, compliant with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, we continue to strengthen a culture of prevention, accountability and continuous improvement across our manufacturing facility and offices. Through robust risk assessment processes, periodic internal and external audits, proactive incident and near-miss management, and active employee participation through our Safety Committee, we remain focused on providing a safe and healthy workplace for all. I am pleased to share that, during the year under review, the Company recorded no reportable accidents or safety-related complaints, reflecting the effectiveness of our safety culture and our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our people.

True corporate leadership requires a balance between profitability and positive impact. As we build a more resilient organization, environmental sustainability remains a key pillar of our core strategy. We are actively integrating robust ESG principles across all levels of our expanding operations—from the eco-efficiency of our manufacturing floors to our community-focused CSR initiatives. By taking care of our planet and our communities, we are building a foundation of trust and accountability that secures long-term value for our shareholders.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Global Economy

At the start of 2026, the global economy was showing a "fragmented recovery." While the peak inflationary pressures of the early 2020s have receded, the world has transitioned into a regime of sustained higher interest rates and "friendshoring." Global GDP growth has stabilized at approximately 3.1%, but the narrative is dominated by a massive shift in capital toward sovereign resilience. However, since the start of February 2026, Global economic growth has been slowing to levels not seen since the pandemic, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, shifting trade policies (such as recent high tariffs), and policy uncertainty. As the Middle East conflict drives sharp energy price increases, global growth is projected to slow to 2.5 percent in 2026, with emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) facing the weakest per capita income growth since the pandemic. Globally, critical policy actions are required to safeguard the energy, bolster the trading system, and domestically to balance the inflation control and strengthen the financial sustainability. Emerging markets and developing economies require investing in physical, human and digital capital to address the job challenges.

Growth is expected to decelerate in almost all the regions of the globe due to the Middle East conflict, though the impact will be lesser in South Asian region due to their energy exposure, strategic reserves and policy buffers. Recoveries are projected across all the regions in 2027-28, driven by the reduction in energy prices and the rebound in global activity levels.

On the upside, broader AI adaptation could increase activity. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential catalyst for economic growth. Its most important contribution would come from faster productivity growth in the medium term.

Yet estimates of the productivity impact of AI vary widely. The growth benefits of AI are also likely to vary across countries. Emerging market and developing economies that cannot provide the right ecosystem and policy environment to adopt AI widely risk falling further behind.

In this landscape, Defence is no longer viewed as a discretionary expense but as a fundamental pillar of national economic infrastructure. Heightened geopolitical volatility in Eastern Europe and the Indo-Pacific has forced a permanent re-alignment of global supply chains, particularly in high-end electronics and semiconductors. For technology-driven Defence firms, this "New Normal" presents an era of unprecedented demand, as nations prioritize domestic electronic warfare, autonomous systems, and secure communication networks over traditional hardware.

Global Defence & Manufacturing Scenario

Global Defence & Macroeconomic Scenario

Record Global Spending: In 2025, global military expenditure climbed to $2.63–$2.7 trillion, a 10% increase from 2024, driven by prolonged conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia and rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific.
Sectoral "Tech-ification": Defence valuations now rival the tech sector as modern warfare shifts toward software-defined systems, AI-enabled decision tools, and autonomous platforms.
Supply Chain Resilience: The industry is prioritizing "friend-shoring" and vertical integration to mitigate fragilities in specialized materials and semiconductors.
Economic Resilience: Unlike cyclical sectors, Defence spending has remained stable amid global economic

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

uncertainty, serving as a primary pillar of industrial growth.

The Indian Economy: An Island of Growth and Modernization

Backed by robust macro-fundamentals, India remains the world's fastest-growing major economy, with FY26 GDP growth estimated at 7.2%, driven by robust domestic consumption, strong services exports and substantial investment in infrastructure. India is world's fourth largest economy by nominal GDP of over USD$ 4 trillion.

India's journey to reach US$ 5 Trillion economy is delayed by few years primarily due to a combination of slower-than-expected nominal GDP growth, due to global macro-economic and geo political factors and the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. Depending on the economic growth rate and currency fluctuations, projections estimate that India is on track to cross the $5 trillion threshold between FY2027 and FY2029.

The Indian economy is currently benefiting from a "double-engine" growth model: massive public infrastructure spending coupled with a burgeoning private Defence manufacturing ecosystem. As the Ministry of Defence targets a 70% indigenous procurement ratio, the domestic industry is witnessing a transition from simple assembly to complex system design. This economic tailwind, supported by a stable Rupee and a burgeoning export pipeline, provides a fertile ground for high-IP Indian companies to scale globally.

The IMF projects a solid 6.5% growth rate for 2026, revised upward due to strong momentum and a reduction in US tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 10%.

India's Defence Outlook (FY 2026-27)

The government's "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-Reliant India) initiative has reached a critical maturity phase, shifting from policy intent to large-scale execution. With the Union Budget 2026-27 earmarking record capital outlays for Defence, the focus has intensified on indigenizing "Deep-Tech" components—the very core of Data Patterns' expertise.

Unprecedented Allocation: The Union Budget 2026-27 allocated ₹7.85 lakh crore ($93.5B) to the Ministry of Defence, a 15.19% increase over the previous year.
Capital Modernization: A ₹2.19 lakh crore capital outlay—a 21.84% jump—is earmarked for next-generation fighter aircraft, submarines, and drones.
Atmanirbhar Bharat Push: Roughly 75% of the capital acquisition budget is reserved for domestic procurement, directly benefiting indigenous players like Data Patterns.

Operation Sindoor Impact: Following the tactical success of "Operation Sindoor," there is an urgent push to consolidate gains in air power and underwater domains, specifically favoring electronic warfare and network-centric tools.

Indian Defence Sector

With the Government's continuing aggressive push through Make in India initiatives, India is aiming to become a Defence powerhouse. From being a major importer of its Defence requirements, India is making all required initiative to transform itself to a leading Defence manufacturer and exporter. This opens out substantial opportunities to the Companies engaged in Defence and Aerospace sector.

Initiatives such as Make in India, Athmanirbhar Bharath, curbs on imports, establishment of Defence corridors, allowing 74% FDI through automatic route, etc has opened out large opportunities to Indian Companies in the Private Sector as well.

Challenging working capital cycles

Opportunities

i) Dignity Foundation:

The Dignity Foundation, a non-profit NGO established in 1995, dedicated to improving the lives of senior citizens across India. Through our support, the day care center in Chennai continues to offer essential services and a supportive community for dementia patients and senior citizens.

Our partnership focuses on providing critical support to one key centers in Chennai. At their Centre in Anna Nagar, we have funded the support which includes daily pick-up and drop services, along with nutritional support and lunch provision for the resident inmates, sustained over a period of one year for the dementia patients.

Through this initiative, we aim to alleviate some of the daily challenges faced by the elderly—especially those living with dementia—and their caregivers. By addressing basic nutritional and mobility needs, we help promote health, independence, and a sense of belonging among these valued members of our community.

ii) Vidya Sagar:

Vidya Sagar is a non-profit organization based in Chennai, dedicated to working with children and young adults with multiple disabilities, regardless of the severity of their conditions.

Our company has made a contribution to Vidya Sagar's project focused on empowering adults with high support needs through skill development. Our contribution has been utilized for several key aspects of this project including ensuring the production units have the necessary materials and tools to create high-quality products, supporting the promotion and marketing efforts to help these products reach a wider audience and generate sustainable income, enhancing the welfare of students and staff involved in the project, contributing to a supportive and nurturing environment and funding the salaries of technical support staff who play a crucial role in the training and production processes. We have also contributed towards the education support of kids suffering from cerebral palsy.

This initiative has resulted in increased participation of adults with high support needs in meaningful vocational activities, improved their confidence and independence, and helped generate a sustainable source of income through the sale of handcrafted products. Additionally, the inclusive environment has positively influenced the overall well-being and skill development of the participants, while raising greater awareness and acceptance in the wider community.

iii) V-Excel:

V-Excel Educational Trust, established in 2001 and based in Chennai, is a registered Public Charitable Trust dedicated to serving individuals with special needs. The Trust provides comprehensive educational, therapeutic, and vocational services, empowering children and young adults to lead more fulfilling, independent, and dignified lives.

As part of its innovative approach to skill-building, V-Excel conducted an Experiential Learning Program for young adults with special needs, designed to build independence and real-world competence. The program included a metro travel experience, where students were taught how to navigate the metro system—understanding tickets, routes, and public behavior. Additionally, the program featured an overnight field trip, focusing on essential life skills such as packing, managing personal belongings, time management, social interaction, and basic self-care in a setting away from home.

The Experiential Learning Program made a significant impact on the participating students. By stepping into unfamiliar environments, they gained practical exposure, confidence, and a sense of autonomy. Tasks that once seemed daunting became manageable, reinforcing their ability to function independently in society.

iv) The Voluntary Health Services:

Voluntary Health Services (VHS) is a renowned multi-specialty hospital in Chennai with a legacy of 65 years, dedicated to providing affordable medical care services. As part of our CSR initiative, our company has extended support to the pediatric wing of VHS, with the goal of enhancing healthcare access and outcomes for children.

Our contribution has supported a wide range of pediatric treatments, including neonatal and infant care—providing life-saving interventions for newborns—and funding essential pediatric medical management procedures, surgeries, emergencies, and critical care interventions. This holistic support ensures comprehensive, timely, and effective healthcare for children from underserved communities.

Through this initiative, 348 children have directly benefited, receiving the necessary medical attention to address a variety of health challenges. The support has helped improve survival rates among neonates, ensured faster recovery for critically ill children, and reduced the financial burden on families. The initiative has made a meaningful impact in strengthening pediatric care infrastructure and continues to bring hope and healing to vulnerable young lives.

v) Sri Ranganatha Paduka Vidhyalaya Trust:

Sri Ranganatha Paduka Vidhyalaya Trust (SRPVT) founded in 1968 is engaged in the fields of education and empowerment in Srirangam, Tamil Nadu. It runs a full-fledged College and schools apart from a Ghosala. It is a regular autonomous college established in 1996 and affiliated to Bharathidasan University, where students are particularly from the marginalized and economically deprived section of the society situated in villages in and around 50 km radius.

Presently the college offers 15 Under Graduate Programs, 13 Post Graduate Programmes, 10 M.Phil. Programmes and Ph.D Programmes in 12 disciplines. Extension of subsidized fees, scholarships and providing free transport to students from the villages, is the prime reason that the students attend this College from where more than 90% of their total strength are enrolled.

Free transport serves as a strong motivator for students from rural areas to attend college regularly and complete their degrees, which become vital stepping stones towards gainful employment. This not only transforms their individual lives but also sets a positive precedent for future generations in their families and communities. Our contribution by supporting a portion of their transportation needs, plays a key role in reducing absenteeism and ensuring continuity in education. It empowers these students to pursue higher studies with dignity, fosters social mobility, and helps build a stronger, more educated rural youth base that can drive long-term community development.

vi) Knowledge Foundation of Alumni of CEG Batch 1990:

Started in 2015 by a committed group of alumni from the College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG), this initiative has been dedicated to mentoring and sponsoring students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who have secured admission to CEG—one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in the country. For many bright students, the inability to afford college fees stands as a barrier to a well-deserved future. Recognizing the life-changing power of education, Data Patterns partnered with this initiative to help bridge that gap.

In the latest phase of support, we provided financial aid to 22 deserving students who were recently admitted to CEG. This included payment of college and hostel fees and provision of laptops. These essential resources are not just tools—they are lifelines that enable these students to keep pace with academic demands, access digital learning, and fully participate in a modern engineering education.

These students are now fully equipped to pursue their engineering degrees without financial stress. They can focus on their education, explore opportunities, and dream bigger. This intervention has not only helped preserve their academic journey but also opened doors to a future of economic upliftment—for themselves and their families. With access to college, a place to live, and the digital tools to learn, their horizons have expanded—bringing within reach incredible career prospects in India and beyond. What

once seemed impossible is now within grasp, because someone believed in their potential.

vii) Jayam Special School run by Jayam Trust:

Founded in 2011 with just two children in a small home at Padi, Jayam Special School has grown to support 180 children with Autism, ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities, Slow Learning, and Specific Learning Disabilities. The school is committed to providing specialized education and therapeutic rehabilitation services to children who otherwise may not have access to such opportunities.

This year, we supported Jayam Special School by contributing towards a portion of their operational expenses. This funding has allowed the school to continue offering high-quality, specialized education and therapy. It also helped sustain the efforts of dedicated educators, therapists, and support staff who provide the personalized care essential for each child's development. In addition, vocational training was extended to parents and caregivers, helping them gain skills for self-sufficiency and reducing their emotional and financial burdens.

As a result of our support, Jayam Special School has been able to maintain a nurturing and joyful environment where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered. The school has been able to continue its crucial work without interruption, providing these children with the opportunity to grow, learn, and live with dignity. Our contribution has made a meaningful difference, allowing Jayam to focus on their mission of empowering futures.

viii) TIARA Haemophilia and cancer Foundation:

Tiara Haemophilia and cancer Foundation, established in 2012, has remained steadfast in its mission to improve healthcare access for children from underprivileged families. Guided by the belief in health equity for all, Tiara has positively impacted the lives of over 1,000 families over the past 13 years by facilitating treatment for life-threatening conditions such as haemophilia and cancer through partnerships with leading hospitals across the country.

This year, the contribution made by our company was instrumental in supporting the treatment of 27 children diagnosed with haemophilia, all from low-income families who were largely unaware of the disease and its implications. Tiara intervened early, ensuring timely diagnostic tests at concessional rates, coordinating with hospitals for specialized treatment, and sourcing essential medicines directly from pharmaceutical companies to significantly reduce the financial burden on families.

As a result of this collaborative effort, these children received care from some of the best consultants in the field. Beyond just medical treatment, the initiative has empowered families with awareness and access, enabling the children to lead healthier, more stable lives. Our involvement has made a tangible difference in their future, offering hope, dignity, and a better quality of life.

ix) Madhuram Narayanan Centre – Bala Mandir, Chennai:

In existence since 1989, this centre became a part of Bala Mandir six years ago and has since evolved into a crucial support system for children with developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and associated conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and ADHD. Currently, the centre supports around 100+ children, providing them with the care, therapy, and encouragement needed to progress and thrive.

As part of our commitment to inclusive and holistic development, we funded the salaries of therapists working at the centre. These professionals—including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and special educators—play an essential role in delivering tailored interventions that help each child achieve developmental milestones and improve their quality of life.

With the therapists' positions sustained through our support, the centre has been able to provide uninterrupted, high-quality therapeutic care to the children. These services have made a tangible difference in enhancing the children's mobility, communication, cognitive abilities, and social interaction. For many families, the centre offers a lifeline—delivering expert

care that they would otherwise be unable to access or afford. This funding has helped not just maintain but strengthen the continuum of care, enabling every child to move closer to their full potential with dignity and hope.

x) Government School, Kandigai:

A recently upgraded government school in Chennai, with around 900 students and 30 teachers, continues to face significant infrastructure challenges. The school urgently requires support for refurbishing classrooms, repairing toilets, rebuilding the compound wall, and procuring educational equipment. Additionally, there is a need to support teacher salaries to maintain quality education delivery.

The funds were utilized to construct a new classroom, designed as a mini hall, to ease overcrowding and provide better learning space for students. This project is supported by the Rotary Club of Taramani, along with the Rotary Club of Guindy.

The upgraded facilities are expected to offer students a more comfortable and conducive learning environment, helping improve academic engagement and student morale. This infrastructure project marks a significant step toward addressing the needs of under-resourced schools, benefiting both students and teachers alike.

xi) Anandham Trust:

We supported Anandham Trust in the construction of a roof with shingle sheets over the classrooms on the second floor of its main building. This infrastructure enhancement was undertaken to strengthen the Trust's educational assistance programme, which provides after-school tuition and academic support to nearly 270 children from neighboring communities. The project aimed to create a safe, comfortable, and weather-protected learning environment that would enable uninterrupted classes and improve the overall learning experience for students.

The impact of the project extends beyond infrastructure development, as it directly contributes to the educational growth and well-being of children

from underserved backgrounds. With improved classroom facilities, the Trust is now better equipped to conduct regular tuition sessions, encourage student participation, and provide a conducive atmosphere for learning. The initiative supports the broader objective of promoting education, reducing learning gaps, and empowering children with better opportunities for academic success and personal development.

xii) Indian Cancer Institute:

Our Company extended support to the Indian Cancer Institute for conducting cancer awareness programmes aimed at educating communities on the importance of early detection, prevention, and timely treatment of cancer. The initiative focused on spreading awareness about common cancer risks, healthy lifestyle practices, regular health check-ups, and the significance of recognizing early symptoms. Through awareness campaigns and outreach activities, the programme sought to address misconceptions and encourage proactive healthcare practices among the public.

The project has contributed to improving public understanding of cancer-related health issues and promoting preventive healthcare within the community. Increased awareness helps individuals make informed health decisions, seek medical advice at an early stage, and reduce the stigma often associated with cancer. By supporting this initiative, the Company reinforces its commitment towards community health, preventive care, and building a more informed and health-conscious society.

xiii) Bharat Kalachar:

Our contribution helped in conducting their Annual cultural festival drawing thousands of patrons thus paving the way to youngsters to develop an interest in the arts and also a platform for them to showcase their talent. Also students from Govt schools who show promise in the performing arts have been identified and awards and scholarships are bestowed on them to keep their interest alive and hone their talents.

xiv) NSS, SRIHER, Chennai:

We have supported NSS unit of Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in the construction of compound walls for the Kolappanchery Children's Park and the Kolappanchery Adolescent Fitness Gym. The children's park project, initially sponsored under CSR during FY 2023–24, was further strengthened through this infrastructure support to ensure safer and more secure recreational spaces for children and adolescents in the community. The initiative aimed to enhance the usability and protection of these public facilities while promoting healthy recreational and fitness activities among youth.

The project has had a positive impact on the local community by creating safer and better-maintained environments for children and adolescents to engage in outdoor play and physical fitness activities. The compound walls help safeguard the facilities, improve accessibility management, and encourage greater community participation in wellness-oriented programmes. Through this initiative, the Company continues to contribute towards community development, youth well-being, and the creation of inclusive public spaces that support healthy lifestyles and social engagement.

xv) Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission, Palghat:

We extended support to Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission for providing outpatient (OP) medical treatment services, including doctor consultations and essential medicines. The initiative was aimed at improving access to basic healthcare services for individuals from economically disadvantaged and underserved communities who may otherwise face challenges in obtaining timely medical attention and treatment.

The project has contributed significantly towards enhancing community health and well-being by enabling patients to receive affordable and accessible primary healthcare support. By facilitating medical consultations and access to necessary medicines, the initiative helps promote early diagnosis, timely treatment, and better health outcomes for beneficiaries.

By supporting essential ophthalmic care, the project sought to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of beneficiaries affected by cataract-related vision impairment.

The project has created a meaningful social impact by helping patients regain eyesight and improve their independence in daily life. Restored vision not only enhances personal confidence and mobility but also contributes to improved livelihood opportunities and reduced dependency on caregivers.

initiative was designed to extend mental healthcare support directly to patients through outreach-based services, ensuring continuity of care for nearly 100 beneficiaries. The programme focuses on providing timely follow-up, counselling support, treatment coordination, and community-based mental healthcare assistance.

The project has contributed significantly towards improving access to mental healthcare and reducing treatment discontinuation among vulnerable patients. By reaching patients within their communities, the Mobile Support Team helps enhance treatment adherence, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life for individuals and their families. The initiative also promotes greater awareness and acceptance of mental healthcare while reducing the stigma associated with psychiatric disorders. Through this effort, the Company continues to support inclusive healthcare initiatives that strengthen community well-being and accessible mental health services.

xviii) The Child's Trust, Chennai

We extended support to The Child's Trust for the procurement of biomedical equipment aimed at improving diagnostic support for pediatric patients. Prior to this initiative, children requiring specialized scans had to be referred to other medical centres, causing inconvenience, delays in treatment, and, in many cases, difficulties due to the critical condition of the child. The project was undertaken to strengthen in-house medical capabilities and ensure timely access to essential diagnostic services within the hospital itself.

The project has significantly improved the quality and accessibility of healthcare services for children by enabling faster diagnosis and prompt medical intervention. Availability of the equipment within the facility reduces the physical and emotional strain on patients and their families, minimizes treatment delays, and enhances overall patient care outcomes. Through this initiative, the Company continues to support child healthcare and contribute towards strengthening medical infrastructure for vulnerable sections of society

xix) Aram Foundation:

We extended support to Aram Foundation towards meeting the annual welfare expenses of 28 girl children with disabilities residing under the care of the Trust. The support covered essential operational and caregiving requirements including food expenses, salaries for the cook, warden, security personnel, special educators, and physiotherapists. While the building infrastructure is owned by the Trust, the initiative focused on strengthening the day-to-day care and rehabilitation services required for the children's overall well-being and development.

Through this initiative, the Company continues to support inclusive care, rehabilitation, and empowerment of children with disabilities while contributing towards their dignity, growth, and quality of life.

Opinion

We have undertaken to perform a reasonable assurance engagement, for Data Patterns (India) Limited (the 'Company') on the Identified Sustainability Information (referred to as 'ISI') for the period from April 01, 2025 to March 31, 2026 in accordance with the reporting criteria stated below.

Identified Sustainability Information (ISI) subject to assurance	Period subject to assurance	Level of Assurance	Reporting criteria (the ‘Criteria’)
BRSR Core (refer Annexure A)	April 01, 2025 to March 31, 2026	Reasonable assurance	• Regulation 34(2)(f) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (SEBI LODR)
• Guidance Note for BRSR format issued by SEBI

This engagement was conducted by a multidisciplinary team including assurance practitioners.

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, the Company's Identified Sustainability Information included in the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting for the period April 01, 2025 to March 31, 2026, are prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria.

Our reasonable assurance engagement was with respect to the period from April 01, 2025 to March 31, 2026 information only unless otherwise stated and we have not performed any procedures with respect to earlier periods or any other elements included in the BRSR and, therefore, do not express any conclusion thereon.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Standard on Sustainability Assurance Engagements (SSAE) 3000, "Assurance Engagements on Sustainability Information"

issued by the Sustainability Reporting Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the 'ICAI'). Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the "Our responsibilities" section of our report.

Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included within the BRSR but does not include the ISI and our assurance report thereon.

Our opinion on BRSR core attributes does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our assurance engagement of the ISI, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the ISI, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our engagement or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibilities

The Company's management is responsible for selecting or establishing suitable criteria for preparing the Sustainability Information, taking into account applicable laws and regulations, if any, related to reporting on the Sustainability Information, identification of key aspects, engagement with stakeholders, content, preparation and presentation of the Identified Sustainability Information in accordance with the Criteria. This responsibility includes design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation of the BRSR and the measurement of Identified Sustainability Information, which is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent limitations

The absence of a significant body of established practice on which to draw to evaluate and measure non-financial information allows for different, but acceptable measures and measurement techniques and can affect comparability between entities.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and have the required competencies and experience to conduct this assurance engagement.

The firm applies Standard on Quality Control (SQC) 1, "Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements", and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a reasonable assurance conclusion on the Identified Sustainability Information based on the procedures we have performed and evidence we have obtained.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Sustainability Assurance Engagements (SSAE) 3000, "Assurance Engagements on Sustainability Information", issued by the Sustainability Reporting Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform our engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Identified Sustainability Information are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Reporting Criteria. A reasonable assurance engagement involves assessing the risks of material misstatement of the Identified Sustainability Information whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed risks as necessary in the circumstances.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgment and included inquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection of documents, evaluating the appropriateness of quantification methods and reporting policies, analytical procedures and agreeing or reconciling with underlying records.

Given the circumstances of the engagement, in performing the procedures listed above, we:

assessed the suitability of the criteria used by the Company in preparing the reasonable assurance information;
evaluated the appropriateness of reporting policies, quantification methods and models used in the preparation of the information subject to reasonable assurance and the reasonableness of estimates made by the Company; and
evaluated the overall presentation of the information subject to reasonable assurance.

Exclusions

Our assurance scope excludes the following and therefore we will not express a conclusion on the same:

Operations of the Company other than those mentioned in the "Scope of Assurance".

To the Members of Data Patterns (India) Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Data Patterns (India) Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2026 and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the

Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, its profit and other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in

accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor's Response
1.	Revenue recognition from contracts with customers as per Ind AS 115
The Company has recognized revenue with respect to sale of goods during the year ended 31 March 2026.
Revenue from sale of goods to customers is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those goods.	The principal audit procedures performed by us in respect of key audit matter is summarized as below:
• Obtained an understanding of the terms and conditions of the contract with the customers.
• Evaluated the Company's revenue recognition policy with respect to its compliance with Ind AS 115 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) including determination of performance obligation at a point of time or over a period of time.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor's Response
	Considering the materiality of revenue to the financial statements and the inherent risk associated with revenue recognition, including the risk of revenue being recognized without transfer of control (occurrence), and the risk of revenue being recorded in an incorrect accounting period, particularly around the year-end (cut-off), this matter is considered to be a Key Audit Matter. The assessment of the timing of transfer of control involves judgment, especially in contracts requiring customer acceptance and delivery as per contractual terms.

Refer Note 2.4 (Accounting policy) and Note 23 to financial statements. | • Evaluated the design and implementation and tested operating effectiveness of controls with regards to the revenue recognition as per the terms mentioned in the contracts with the customers.

• Performed test of details on sample basis:
a) Perused the terms of the contract with respect to identification of distinct performance obligations and criteria for transfer of control of the goods to the customer for recognition of revenue.
b) Verified if the Factory Acceptance Test was completed and accepted by the customer before the goods were dispatched to the customer's site.
c) Examined supporting documents such as dispatch records, the proof of delivery and customer acknowledgments to assess whether revenue has been recognized in accordance with the contractual terms governing transfer of control.
d) Performed cut-off procedures by testing revenue transactions recorded before and after the year-end date, including examination of dispatch documents, proof of delivery, and invoice dates, to assess whether revenue has been recognized in the appropriate accounting period.

• Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements by comparing them with the requirements of the applicable Ind AS. |

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board of Director's report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

DATA PATTERNS

to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic

decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Data Patterns (India) Limited (the "Company") as at 31 March 2026 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal

financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all

material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to financial statements established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

(xix) On the basis of the financial ratios, ageing and expected dates of realization of financial assets and payment of financial liabilities, other information accompanying the financial statements and our knowledge of the Board of Directors and Management plans and based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that any material uncertainty exists as on the date of the audit report indicating that Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the date of balance sheet as and when they fall due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however, state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of the Company.

Notes to Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2026

(All figures are in INR Crores unless specifically stated otherwise)

1 Company overview

Data Patterns (India) Limited (“Data Patterns” or “The company”) was incorporated on 11 November 1998 and is listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (‘NSE’) and Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (‘BSE’). The Company’s principal line of business is design, development, manufacture and sale of electronic products for defence and aerospace applications. The registered office of the Company is located at Plot No.H-9, Fourth Main Road, SIPCOT IT Park, Siruseri, Chennai - 603 103, Tamil Nadu, India.

2 Summary of material accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) and Defined benefit plans - plan assets, which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendments rules issued thereafter.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. For the business of manufacturing, based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle up to twelve months for the purpose of current – non-current classification of assets and liabilities. Operating cycle for the other business activities of the Company covers the duration of the specific project or contract or service and extends up to the realisation of receivables within the agreed credit period normally applicable to such lines of business.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to the presentation adopted in the financial statements. These reclassifications were not significant and have no impact on the total assets, total liabilities, total equity and profit of the Company.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the Company’s functional currency.

2.3 Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods reported.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates considering different assumptions and conditions.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) and other intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment/Intangible assets are depreciated/amortised over their estimated useful life, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

useful life and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation/amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful life and residual values are based on the Company's historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes, expected level of usage and product life-cycle. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

ii) Employee benefit obligations

Employee benefit obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments. These include the estimation of the appropriate discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, the employee benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

iii) Provisions and contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of each being subject to uncertainties inherent in litigation. A provision for litigation is made when it is considered probable that a payment will be made and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgement is required when evaluating the provision including, the probability of an unfavourable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss. Litigation provisions are reviewed at each accounting period and revisions made for the changes in facts and circumstances. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes forming part of the financial statements. Contingent assets are not disclosed in the financial statements unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

iv) Recognition of property, plant and equipment (PPE), capital work in progress

Significant level of judgement is involved in assessing whether the expenditure incurred meets the recognition criteria under Ind AS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Also estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.

2.3 Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (continued)

v) Capitalisation of other intangible assets and evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets

Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customised project and determining whether the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met requires judgement. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired.

The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets. In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

2.4 Revenue from contracts with customers

To determine whether to recognise revenue from contracts with customers, the Company follows a 5-step process:

a) Identifying the contract with customer
b) Identifying the performance obligations
c) Determining the transaction price
d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
e) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

Revenue from contracts with customers for products sold and service provided is recognised when control of promised products or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
135

DATA PATTERNS

Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes Goods and Services Taxes and is net of rebates and discounts. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term, which is consistent with market practice. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and therefore satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over a period of time if one of the following criteria is met:

i) the customer simultaneously consumes the benefit of Company's performance or
ii) the customer controls the asset as it is being created/enhanced by the Company's performance or
iii) there is no alternative use of the asset and the Company has either explicit or implicit right of payment considering legal precedents.

In all other cases, performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point in time

Significant judgements are used in determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time, revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation.

These activity-specific revenue recognition criteria are based on the goods or services provided to the customer and the contract conditions in each case, and are as described below.

a) Sale of manufactured goods

Revenue from sale of manufactured goods is recognised at a point of time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, being when the products are delivered and acknowledged by customers and the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or there is

no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Revenue from the sale is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of rebates and discounts.

b) Sale of Services

The company recognizes revenue when performance obligation as promised is satisfied with a transaction price and where there is no uncertainty as to the measurement or collectability of the consideration. Revenue from sale of services is recognized over a period of time for maintenance revenue when the related obligations are fulfilled and revenue from other services are recognised at a point in time.

2.5 Recognition of Dividend Income, Interest income or expense

Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive the income is established. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method

The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
the amortised cost of the financial liability.

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

2.6 Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

i) Plant and equipment

Plant and other equipment (comprising plant and machinery, furniture and fittings, electrical equipment, office equipment, computers and vehicles) are initially recognised at acquisition cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Plant

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

and other equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Parts of an item of PPE having different useful lives and significant value and subsequent expenditure on Property, Plant and Equipment arising on account of capital improvement or other factors are accounted for as separate components only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss within other income or other expenses.

Property, plant and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight, professional fees, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company's accounting policy based on Ind AS 23 - Borrowing costs and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Property, plant and equipment which are retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value or net realizable value.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under 'Capital work-in-progress'. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

ii) a) Other intangible assets (Internally developed)

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated.

b) Intangible assets under development

"Leveraging the Company's existing competencies, the Company undertakes internal product development initiatives aimed at expanding its business opportunities and Total Addressable Market (TAM). Such initiatives are evaluated for recognition as intangible assets under development only when they meet the recognition criteria prescribed under Ind AS 38. Capitalisation is not automatic and is based on the assessment of the criteria outlined below.

The Company distinguishes between the research phase and the development phase of internal projects. Expenditure incurred during the research phase is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred."

Development expenditure is capitalised as "Intangible Assets Under Development" only when it is demonstrably established that the asset is technically feasible to complete, the Company has the intention and ability to complete and use or sell the asset, adequate technical, financial, and other resources are available to complete the development, future economic benefits are probable including through internal use or commercialisation, and the expenditure attributable to the asset can be reliably measured.

Intangible Assets Under Development include directly attributable costs such as material costs, employee costs directly engaged in development, and other expenditures directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. General administrative costs, overheads, and inefficiencies are expensed as incurred.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
137

DATA PATTERNS

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the development of qualifying intangible assets are capitalised in accordance with Ind AS 23, where applicable.

When the development is completed and the prototype is ready for its intended use, the same will be transferred to Intangible Assets and will be subjected to amortization.

c) Measurement, Impairment and Derecognition

Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if all recognition criteria specified above are met; otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible Assets Under Development are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

d) Review of Estimates

The residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization of intangible assets are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

iii) Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight line method and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, over its useful life specified in the Act, or based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by Management based on technical evaluation and advice. The residual value is generally assessed as 5% of the acquisition cost which is considered to be the amount recoverable at the end of the

asset's useful life. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end.

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life.

Prototype assets developed will be amortized over a period of 10 years from the date of capitalization or over the delivery period of the contract, if any, whichever is earlier.

The Company has evaluated the applicability of component accounting as prescribed under Ind AS 16 and Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the management has not identified any significant component having different useful lives. Schedule II requires the Company to identify and depreciate significant components with different useful lives separately. The useful lives of the assets are in line with the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 and hence doesn't require Component Accounting.

The estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is as under,

Building (30 years)
Plant and Machinery (15 years)
Computer (3-6 years)
Furniture and Fixtures (10 years)
Vehicles (8 years)
Software (6 years)

iv) Impairment testing of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, based on internal or external factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit.

For the purpose of impairment assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's (or cash-generating unit's) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganizations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risk factors.

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, not subject to amortisation and Intangible assets under development are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the assets for assessing the value in use. Significant judgement are involved in determining the recoverable value including the discount rate and the subjective nature of the business projection assumptions (in the Defence industry in which the Company operates) made over a long period.

Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

2.7 Non-Current assets held for sale

The company classifies an item of PPE as a non current asset held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non current assets held for sale are measured at their carrying value / fair value less cost to be incurred for its disposal. An item of non current asset held for sale is not subject to any depreciation during the period it is held for sale.

2.8 Leases

Company as a lessee

The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term leases) and low-value assets. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease, plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any

The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful life of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether an RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of non-financial assets below.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
139

DATA PATTERNS

For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.

Lease liability payments are classified as cash used in financing activities in the statement of cash flows.

2.9 Inventories

i) Raw materials

Raw materials are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a specific identification method

i) Work in progress and finished goods

Work in progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes the combined cost of material, labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on a specific identification method.

The cost comprises of costs of purchase, duties and taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable), conversion cost and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of

business less estimated cost of completion and applicable selling expenses.

2.10 Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits

a) Defined contribution plan

Contribution to Provident Fund in India are in the nature of defined contribution plan and are made to a recognised fund. Contribution to Superannuation Fund is in the nature of defined contribution plan and is remitted to insurance company in accordance with the scheme framed by the Corporation. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay contributions in addition to its fixed contributions, which are recognised as an expense in the period that related employee services are received.

I) Provident fund

The Company makes contribution to the statutory provident fund in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, which is a defined contribution plan, and contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which it falls due.

ii) Other funds

The Company's contribution towards defined contribution plan is accrued in compliance with the requirement of the domestic laws of the country. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.

b) Defined benefit Plan

Under the Company's defined benefit plans, the amount of benefit that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee's length of service and final salary.

The defined benefit plans are as below:

I) Gratuity

The liability recognised in the statement of financial position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. The Company estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. This is based on standard rates of inflation, salary growth rate

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

and mortality. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to government securities that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related gratuity liability.

Service cost on the Company's defined benefit plan is included in employee benefits expense. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from measurements of the net defined benefit liability are included in other comprehensive income.

ii) Leave salary - compensated absences

The Company also extends defined benefit plans in the form of compensated absences to employees. Provision for compensated absences is made on actuarial valuation basis. Entitlement to privilege leave is recognised when it accrues to the employees. Privilege leave can be accumulated subject to restriction as mentioned in the leave policy.

2.11 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

2.12 Earnings per equity share

Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the total profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). In this scenario, the number of equity shares outstanding increases without an increase in resources due to which the number of equity shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of equity shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to

equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.13 Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.

i) Current income tax

Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the period. While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to be considered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending the nature and circumstances of each uncertain tax position.

The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.

ii) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
141

DATA PATTERNS

taxable temporary differences that is expected to reverse within the tax holiday period.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

2.14 Contingent liabilities and provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities if the outflow of resources is remote.

The Company does not recognise contingent assets unless the realization of the income is virtually certain, however these are assessed continually to ensure that

the developments are appropriately disclosed in the financial statements.

2.15 Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before exceptional items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future receipts or payments. In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cheques on hand, balances with banks in current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, as applicable.

2.16 Segment reporting

In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Company has identified manufacture and sale of electronic boards and systems and related annual maintenance services for defence sector. As per Ind AS 108 Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, the Company has identified only one segment as primary reportable segment for the year ended 31 March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025.

2.17 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets other than equity instruments are classified into categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and at amortised cost. Financial assets that are equity instruments are classified at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost

Financial instruments are recognised on the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Initially, a financial instrument is recognised at its fair value except for trade receivable. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments are recognised in determining the carrying amount, if it is not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

instruments are measured according to the category in which they are classified.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified and measured based on the entity's business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset at:

a) Amortised cost
b) Fair value through profit and loss
c) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

All financial assets are reviewed for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.

a) Financial asset at amortised cost

Includes assets that are held within a business model where the objective is to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure. The Company shall also measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.

b) Financial asset at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that are designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition and financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements

apply. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure. The Company shall also measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The loss allowance shall be recognised in profit and loss.

c) Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Includes assets that are held within a business model where the objective is both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets along with the contractual terms giving rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. At initial recognition, the Company, based on its assessment, makes an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income the changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading. These selections are made on an instrument-by-instrument (i.e., share-by-share) basis. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in other comprehensive income. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. The dividends from such instruments are recognised in statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
143

DATA PATTERNS

lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the balance sheet.

d) De recognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company's standalone balance sheet) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.

This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

the EIR amortization process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options and buyback of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously

Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices, and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model and specific identification method based on the credit risk for measurement and recognition of impairment loss for financial assets.

The Company tracks credit risk and changes thereon for each customer. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss, except for trade receivables.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:

All contractual terms of the financial instrument over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity uses the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

The Company uses default rate for credit risk to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables.

Trade receivables

The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables

Default is considered to exist when the counter party fails to make the contractual payment within 90 days of when they fall due which is on final sign off by the customer after acceptance is completed. A trade receivable is considered to be credit impaired when the management considers the amount to be non recoverable.

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26
145

DATA PATTERNS

However Time barred dues from the government / government departments / government companies are generally not considered as increase in credit risk of such financial asset.

Other financial assets

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased significantly, impairment loss is provided.

The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of non-financial assets

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's (or cash-generating unit's) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and asset specific risk factors.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset's or cash generating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) 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

Data Patterns (India) Limited | Annual Report 2025-26

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.

2.18 Provision for warranties

Provision for warranties are recognized for the best estimates of the average cost involved for replacement/repair etc. of the product sold till the balance sheet date. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidences based on corrective actions on product failures. The estimates for accounting of warranties are reviewed and revisions are made as required.

2.19 Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest crores as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless specifically stated otherwise.

3 Recent accounting pronouncements and other regulatory updates

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation it has determined that it does not have any significant impact on its financial statements.

In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:

i. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025, the amendment relates to classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement of existence of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead requires that the said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also introduces guidance on classification of liabilities with covenants. The Company has reviewed the aforesaid amendment and based on its assessment it has concluded that there is no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.

ii. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, titled Supplier Finance Agreements applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025 - The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires users of financial statements of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explains the nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has been amended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration of liquidity risk. Based on its assessment, the Company has concluded that these amendments have no impact, as it does not have any supplier finance arrangements.

iii. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - The amendments clarify that the Standard applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the OECD, including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described in those rules.

The amendments introduced a temporary exception to the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in Ind AS 12, so that an entity would neither recognize nor disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

The Company operates solely in India. Accordingly, the amendment has no impact on the financial statements, and no deferred tax adjustments or additional disclosures are required in this regard.

New and revised Ind AS in issue but not effective:

i. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Where a covenant breach exists on or before the reporting date and, as a result, the liability becomes payable on demand on that date, the liability must be classified as current, even if the lender subsequently agrees not to demand payment.

The management do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company in future periods.

The Gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement (subject to completion of five years of continuous employment), death, incapacitation or termination of employment that are based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation on the reporting date and the Company makes annual contribution to the gratuity fund maintained by Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Ltd.

v) Principal actuarial assumptions used:

Particulars	As at 31 March 2026	As at 31 March 2025
Discount rate	7.67%	6.82%
Long-term rate of compensation increase	9.00%	9.00%
Attrition rate
a) For service 4 years and below	13.00%	13.00%
b) For service 5 years and above	3.00%	3.00%
Expected rate of return on plan assets	7.67%	6.82%

The Company assesses these assumptions with the projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards.

vi) The table below outlines the effect on the defined benefit obligation in the event of a decrease/increase of 1% in the rate of assumptions:

Particulars	As at 31 March 2026	As at 31 March 2025
Future salary increases
Increase	(1.56)	(1.46)
Decrease	1.55	1.40
Discount rate
Increase	2.79	2.29
Decrease	(3.42)	(2.83)
Attrition rate
Increase	0.50	0.01
Decrease	(0.60)	(0.02)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the obligation, since the above analysis are based on change in an assumption while holding other assumptions constant. In practice, it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

vii) Risk exposure

The defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, investment risk, longevity risk and inflation risk.

Interest rate risk

The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields of G-sec securities. The estimated term of the bonds is consistent with the estimated term of the defined benefit obligation and it is denominated in Indian rupees. A decrease in market yield on G-sec securities will increase the Company's defined benefit liability, although it is expected that this would be offset partially by an increase in the fair value of certain of the plan assets.

Investment risk

The company maintains plan assets in the form of fund with Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Ltd. The fair value of the plan assets is exposed to the market risks (in India).

Longevity risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants during their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Inflation risk

A significant proportion of the defined benefit liability is linked to inflation. An increase in the inflation rate will increase the Company's liability.

b) Compensated absences

The Employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence.

Management considers amortized cost for financial asset and liabilities to approximate the fair value. The Company does not have any assets measured at FVOCI.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and bank balances, financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.

b) Fair value measurement hierarchy

The Company records certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair values based on the price it would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

The Company holds certain financial assets which must be measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies. The guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are grouped into three Levels of fair value hierarchy. These levels are based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize 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.

Assets and liabilities which are measured at FVTPL

Particulars	As at 31 March 2026			As at 31 March 2025
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3

(All figures are in INR Crores unless specifically stated otherwise)

The fair values of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined under amortised cost method using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. These rates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fair value.

Cash and bank balances, trade receivables, other financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 38 : Financial risk management

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations.

The Company's senior management assesses the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors review and agree on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

a) Market risk

The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are managed by borrowing at fixed interest rates. The Company has pre-closed all the loans and there is no outstanding loan as at 31 March 2026, accordingly no interest rate risk.

c) Foreign currency risk

Most of the Company's transactions are carried out in Indian rupees. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company's overseas sales and purchases of materials, which are primarily denominated in US dollars (USD) and Great Britain Pound (GBP).

Foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities which exposes the Company to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated at the closing rate:

Particulars	USD	GBP
31 March 2026
Financial assets	-	0.10
Financial liabilities	0.23	0.03
31 March 2025
Financial assets	0.38	0.08
Financial liabilities	0.41	0.00

Currency risk (or foreign exchange risk) arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. For the purpose of this disclosure, currency risk does not arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items or from financial instruments denominated in the functional currency.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD/Rs exchange rate, GBP/Rs exchange rate and CHF/Rs exchange rate, 'all other things being equal'. It assumes a +/- 1% change of the USD/Rs. exchange rate for the year ended at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: +/-1%), +/- 1% change of the GBP/Rs exchange rate for the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: +/- 1%).

If the Indian Rupee had strengthened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%), GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) respectively then this would have had the following impact on profit before tax and equity before tax.

If the Indian Rupee had weakened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) and GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: 1%) respectively then there would be an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Particulars	Year ended 31 March 2026		Year ended 31 March 2025		Year ended 31 March 2026	Year ended 31 March 2025

GBP	+ 1%	0.09	0.09	- 1%	(0.09)	(0.09)

d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example trade receivables, deposits, investment, bank balance etc. the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at reporting period, as summarised below:

Particulars	Year ended 31 March 2026	Year ended 31 March 2025
Financial assets
Investments	328.85	326.55
Trade receivable	727.77	596.40
Financial assets	105.12	92.55
Cash and bank balance	93.83	126.40
Total	1,255.57	1,141.90

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company's policy is to transact only with counterparties who are highly creditworthy which are assessed based on internal due diligence parameters.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics (Also refer note 23). Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good, since most of its customers are either Government or Government departments or Companies under Government ownership.

The credit risk for cash and bank balances are considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Other financial assets, mainly comprises of rental deposits, security deposits and other receivables which are given to landlords or other governmental agencies in relation to contracts executed, are assessed by the Company for credit risk on a continuous basis.

e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis depending on the business needs. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.

The Company's objective is to maintain cash and bank's short term credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. Cash flows from trade receivables are all contractually due within twelve months except for retention and long term trade receivables which are governed by the relevant contract.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investment income, interest from deposits and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

Changes to Employee Benefits upon notification of Labour Codes

On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws into unified framework. The Labour Codes introduce a revised and uniform definition of "wages" necessitating a reassessment of employee benefit obligations. The Ministry of Labour and Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations.

The Company has assessed the implications of the revised wage definition and the incremental impact of the implementation of the new labour codes, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Considering the materiality and regulatory-driven, non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact as "Statutory impact of new Labour Codes" under the Exceptional Items in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2026. The incremental impact consisting of gratuity of Rs 3.01 crore primarily arises due to the change in wage definition.

The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to Labour Codes and will evaluate additional impact if any on the measurement of liability pertaining to employee benefits.
