Acquisition through business combinations for the year ended March 31, 2026 is after considering the impact of ₹ 7 towards measurement period changes in the purchase price allocation of acquisitions made during the year ended March 31, 2025.

The Company is organized by two operating segments: IT Services and IT Products (Refer to Note 33). Goodwill as at March 31, 2025 and 2026 has been allocated to the IT Services operating segment.

Goodwill recognized on business combinations is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs”), within the IT Services operating segment, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisitions.

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than the Company’s operating segment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Company’s procedure for determining the recoverable value of each CGU.

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on FVLCD. The FVLCD of the CGU is determined based on the market capitalization approach, using the turnover and earnings multiples derived from observable market data. The fair value measurement is categorized as a level 2 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation techniques used.

Based on the above testing, no impairment was identified as at March 31, 2025 and 2026, as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value. A sensitivity analysis to the change in the key parameters (turnover and earnings multiples) did not identify any probable scenarios where the CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, a decline in the revenue and earnings estimates led to a revision of recoverable value of customer-relationship intangible assets and marketing related intangible assets recognized on business combinations. Consequently, the Company has recognized impairment charge ₹ 1,155 and ₹ 851 for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, as part of amortization and impairment.

Amortization expense on intangible assets is included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

As at March 31, 2026, the net carrying value and the estimated remaining amortization period for intangible assets acquired on acquisition are as follows:
