1. Material Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

a) Basis of preparation

i) Statement of compliance

The Company’s standalone financial statements have been prepared on going

concern basis, in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Company’s standalone financial statements    consistently apply    uniform

accounting policies across all periods.

ii)    Basis of measurement

The standalone financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and a historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

>    Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss;

>    Net defined benefit(asset)/ liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligation; and

>    Share based payment transactions

iii)    Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, paragraph 66 and 69 of Ind-AS 1 and other criteria as set out in Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

>    Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle:

>    Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

>    Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

>    Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when:

>    It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

>    It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

>    It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

>    There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

iv) Presentation currency and rounding-off

All amounts disclosed in these standalone financial statements and notes are presented in J (in crore), the functional currency of the Company. Items included in the standalone financial statements of the Company are recorded using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the ‘functional currency’).

All values are rounded off to two decimals as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise indicated.

b) Basis of presentation

The Balance sheet and the Statement of profit and loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in Division II of Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind-AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance sheet and Statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the standalone financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

1.2 Summary of significant accounting estimates, assumptions, judgments and accounting policies

a) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

In particulars, information about material areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most material effect on the amounts recognized in the standalone financial statements are described below:

i) Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (‘CGUs’) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Company.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves material assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgments involve, but are not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues growth rates, exit multiples and operating results. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a discount rate in order to compute present values. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods as per Ind-AS 36 - ‘Impairment of assets’.

ii)    Provision for warranty

Warranty provision is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods depending upon the warranty period offered. The percentage to the sales is applied to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. Actual warranty claims are settled against warranty provision. The warranty claims may not exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

The closing warranty provision is bifurcated into current and non-current based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 13)

Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier, applied to the volume of product under warranty as on Reporting date. Supplier reimbursements are recognized as separate asset as expected recoverable from vendors against warranty as recovery from the vendors is considered to be virtually certain.

Expected recoverable from vendors against warranty is bifurcated into current and noncurrent based on the past recovery trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 5)

iii)    Estimates related to Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected

life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. (Refer Note 34)

iv)    Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. (Refer Note 17)

Recognition of deferred tax assets/ liability -The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

v)    Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligations, key actuarial assumptions

The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity and leave encashment are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. The salary increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis. (Refer Note 30)

Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements.

vi)    Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The Company recognises loss allowance using expected credit loss model for financial assets which are not measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss. Expected credit losses are weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss 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 Company expects to receive, discounted at original effective rate of interest.

For Trade receivables, the Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The Company computes expected credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on ageing of receivables and the rates used in provision matrix. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future.

vii)    Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in current and future periods.

viii)    Impairment of Investment

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists

the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves material assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgments involve, but are not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues growth rates, exit multiple and operating results. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a discount rate in order to compute present values.

ix)    Contingent Liabilities

It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.

The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the contingent liabilities. The Company’s pending litigations comprise of proceedings pending with various direct tax, indirect tax and other authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its standalone financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its standalone financial statements.

x)    Lease Liabilities

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

xi) Intangible Assets Under Development

The Company capitalizes intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project and the expected period of benefits.

b) Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) and Capital Work-in-Progress

i) Recognition and initial measurement Land

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. For freehold land, as no finite useful life can be determined, related carrying amounts are not amortized.

Leasehold land is carried at historical cost. For leasehold land, cost of land amortized over lease term as per lease agreement.

Other tangible assets

PPE other than land, is initially recognized at acquisition cost or construction cost.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

>    its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

>    any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is material to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that material part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for

it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

ii)    Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, 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 de-recognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

iii)    Subsequent measurement (depreciation method, useful lives, residual value, and impairment)

PPE are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

A depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) is provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Part ‘C’ of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of property, plant and equipment where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the asset and the estimated usage basis management’s best judgement of economic benefits from those classes of assets.

Management believes that such estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect a fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

>    Plant and equipment - maximum 21 years

>    Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

>    Office Equipment - maximum 10 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortized over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land are amortized over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. The residual values, useful lives, and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year, and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively. PPE other than land is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

iv)    De-recognition

An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognized is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is accordingly recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

v)    Capital Work-in-Progress

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting 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-inprogress’.

c) Goodwill, other intangible assets and intangible assets under development

i)    Recognition and initial measurement

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (Refer Note 33 for a description of impairment testing procedures)

Other Intangible assets

Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Such assets are recognized where it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

The cost of an intangible asset comprises:

>    its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities)

>    any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

ii)    Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

iii) Subsequent measurement (amortization method, useful lives and residual value)

I ntangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Other intangible assets

Useful life (in years)

Product Development

Up to 5

Computer Software

5- 10

Trademarks

Indefinite

Technical knowhow

Indefinite

All intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, and a possible impairment is assessed if there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and amortization method for all intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Changes, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

Intangible assets for which there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows are considered to have an indefinite life. The assessment of which is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

iv)    De-recognition

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

v)    Research and development cost

>    Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

>    Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalized as intangible asset, if the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

» the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

» its intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

» its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

» How the asset will generate future economic benefits including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

» the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

» its ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortized over its useful life, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

vi) Intangible assets under development

Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangible assets under development.

Advances paid for the acquisition/ development of intangible assets which are outstanding at the reporting date are classified under ‘Capital Advances’ under ‘other non-current assets’.

d) Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a

contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

>    the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company;

>    the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract; and

>    the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company assesses whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a Right-of-Use asset (‘ROU’) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the option to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities include these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The Company makes an assessment of the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in insubstance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of- use asset is already reduced to zero.

Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

e) 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

Financial assets

i)    Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are expensed off in Statement of Profit and Loss. However, Company’s trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component are measured at transaction price under Ind-AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

ii)    Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

>    those measured at amortized cost, and

>    those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

iii)    Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (‘FVOCI’) or through profit or loss (‘FVPL’) or amortized cost.

All financial assets except for those at FVTPL or at FVOCI are subject to review 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.

>    Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as FVTPL.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

>    Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

» The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

» Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (‘SPPI’) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

» Amortized cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost.

These are measured by applying the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR method allocates interest

income over the relevant period by applying the EIR (that is the interest rate that exactly discounts expected future cash flows to the gross carrying amount of the asset).

A gain or loss on a debt investment (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the EIR method.

» Fair value through other

comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’)

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI).

Interest income is measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the statement of profit and loss.

» Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’)

A financial asset not classified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized in ‘other income’ in the statement of profit and loss.

 

iv) De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily de-recognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s 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 (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred assets 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.

On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not de-recognized, and the proceeds received are recognized as a collateralized borrowing.

v) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a Material increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (‘ECL’) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure based on change in credit quality since initial recognition:

>    Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost

>    Trade receivables using the simplified approach within Ind-AS 109, using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses. During this process the probability of non-payment of the trade receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. This does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

In case the Company identifies any trade receivables as doubtful/bad, then it supersedes the above modus operandi, and the doubtful/bad receivables are provided to the extent is doubtful/bad.

ECL allowance recognized (or reversed) during the period is recognized as expense (or income) in the statement of profit and loss under the head ‘Other expenses’.

vi) Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.

Financial liabilities

The Company’s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

i)    Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognized net of directly attributable transaction costs.

ii)    Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

iii)    Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at an EIR. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

iv)    De-recognition

Financial liability is de-recognized 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 recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed, and such designated derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized as financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values

and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

>    The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind-AS 109; and

>    The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized.

f) Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each reporting date.

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 accessible to the Company.

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, including assumptions about risk, 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 standalone financial statements are categorized 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: Financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date are included in Level 1;

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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 require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2; and

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the standalone financial statements regularly, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the fair value of asset less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are

largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units).

Losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods.

The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

j) Inventories

Inventories are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Weighted average cost is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.

Raw materials, packaging materials and stores and spare parts:

Cost includes purchase price, (excluding those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the concerned revenue authorities), freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, the weighted average cost method is used.

The aforesaid items are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. However, these inventories are valued at net realizable value if the finished products in which they are to be incorporated are expected to be sold at a loss.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods:

The cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods is determined on a weighted

average basis and comprises direct material, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of traded goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

The aforesaid items are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Provision for obsolescence on inventories is considered on the basis of management’s estimate based on demand and market of the inventories.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

k)    Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, call deposits and other short- term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and short-term deposits net of bank overdraft.

l)    Business Combination

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Company to obtain control of a business is calculated as the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity int

1. Material Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

a) Basis of preparation

i) Statement of compliance

The Company''s standalone financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis, in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act") read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,

2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The Company''s standalone financial statements consistently apply uniform accounting policies across all periods.

• Net defined benefit(asset)/ liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligation; and

• Share based payment transactions

iii) Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle, paragraph 66 and 69 of Ind-AS 1 and other criteria as set out in Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

An asset is treated as current when it is:

• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle:

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is treated as current when:

• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

1.2 Summary of material accounting estimates, assumptions and accounting policies

a) Material estimates and assumptions

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

In particulars, information about material areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most material effect on the amounts recognized in the standalone financial statements are described below:

i) Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (‘CGUs'') (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Company.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves material assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgments involve, but are not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating longterm revenues growth rates and operating results. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a discount rate in order to compute present values. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods as per Ind-AS 36 -‘Impairment of assets''.

ii) Provision for warranty

Warranty provision is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods depending upon the warranty period offered. The percentage to the sales is applied to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. Actual warranty claims are settled against warranty provision. The warranty claims may not

exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

The closing warranty provision is bifurcated into current and non-current based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 13)

Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier, applied to the volume of product under warranty as on Reporting date. Supplier reimbursements are recognized as separate asset as expected recoverable from vendors against warranty as recovery from the vendors is considered to be virtually certain.

Expected recoverable from vendors against warranty is bifurcated into current and non-current based on the past recovery trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 5)

iii) Estimates related to Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. (Refer Note 35)

iv) Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing

interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. (Refer Note 17)

Recognition of deferred tax assets/ liability - The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

v) Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligations, key actuarial assumptions

The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity and leave encashment are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. The salary increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis. (Refer Note 31)

Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements.

vi) Expected Credit Loss (‘ECL’)

The Company recognises loss allowance using expected credit loss model for financial assets which are not measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss. Expected credit losses are weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss 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 Company expects to receive, discounted at original effective rate of interest.

For Trade receivables, the Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The Company computes expected credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on ageing of receivables and the rates used in provision matrix. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company''s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer''s actual default in the future.

vii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in current and future periods.

viii) Impairment of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves material assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgments involve, but are not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues growth rates, exit multiple and operating results. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a discount rate in order to compute present values.

ix) Contingent Liabilities

It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/ decisions pending with various forums/authorities.

The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the contingent liabilities. The Company''s pending litigations comprise of proceedings pending with various direct tax, indirect tax and other authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its standalone financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its standalone financial statements.

b) Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) and Capital Work-in-Progress

i) Recognition and initial measurement Land

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. For freehold land, as no finite useful life can be determined, related carrying amounts are not amortised.

Leasehold land is carried at historical cost. For leasehold land, cost of land amortised over lease term as per lease agreement.

Other Tangible assets

PPE other than land, is initially recognised at acquisition cost or construction cost.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

• its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

• any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is Material to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that Material part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 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 Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

iii) Subsequent measurement (depreciation method, useful lives, residual value, and impairment)

PPE are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

A depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) is provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Part ‘C'' of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of property, plant and equipment where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the asset and the estimated usage basis management''s best judgement of economic benefits from those classes of assets.

Management believes that such estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect a fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

- Plant and equipment - maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

- Office Equipment - maximum 10 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land are amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. The residual values, useful lives, and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year, and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively. PPE other than land is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

iv) De-recognition

An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is accordingly recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

v) Capital Work-in-Progress

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting 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''.

c) Goodwill, other intangible assets and intangible assets under development

i) Recognition and initial measurement Goodwill

GoodwiM represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (Refer Note 37 for a description of impairment testing procedures)

Other Intangible assets

Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Such assets are recognized where it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

The cost of an intangible asset comprises:

• its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities)

• any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

iii) Subsequent measurement (amortisation method, useful lives and residual value)

I ntangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.

Useful life

Other intangible assets

(in years)

Product Development Up to 5 Computer Software 5-10 Trademarks Indefinite Technical knowhow Indefinite

All intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, and a possible impairment is assessed if there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and amortisation method for all intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Changes, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

I ntangible assets for which there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows are considered to have an indefinite life. The assessment of which is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

iv) De-recognition

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

v) Research and development cost • Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

• Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

• its intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

• its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

• How the asset will generate future economic benefits including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

• its ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over its useful life, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

vi) Intangible assets under development

I ntangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangible assets under development.

Advances paid for the acquisition/ development of intangible assets which are outstanding at the reporting date are classified under ‘Capital Advances'' under ‘other non-current assets''.

d) Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company;

• the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract; and

• the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company

assesses whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose'' the asset is used throughout the period of use.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (‘ROU'') and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the option to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities include these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The Company makes an assessment of the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU'') to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable,

using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

e) 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

Financial assets

i) Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are expensed off in Statement of Profit and Loss. However, Company''s trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component are measured at transaction price under Ind-AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the

date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

ii) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• those measured at amortised cost, and

• those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI'') or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL'') on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

iii) Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (‘FVOCI'') or through profit or loss (‘FVPL'') or amortised cost.

All financial assets except for those at FVTPL or at FVOCI are subject to review 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.

• Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as FVTPL.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the- difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

• Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

- Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (‘SPPI'') on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company''s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

• Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost.

These are measured by applying the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR method allocates interest income over the relevant period by applying the EIR (that is the interest rate that exactly discounts expected future cash flows to the gross carrying amount of the asset).

A gain or loss on a debt investment (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the EIR method.

• Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’)

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI).

I nterest income is measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income'' in the statement of profit and loss.

• Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’)

A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised in ‘other income'' in the statement of profit and loss.

iv) De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s 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 (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognises an associated liability. The transferred assets 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.

On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

I f the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised, and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralised borrowing.

v) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a Material increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (‘ECL'') model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure based on change in credit quality since initial recognition:

• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost

• Trade receivables using the simplified approach within Ind-AS 109, using a provision matrix in the determination of the lifetime expected credit losses. During this process the probability of nonpayment of the trade receivables is assessed. This probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the lifetime expected credit loss for the trade receivables. This does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

I n case the Company identifies any trade receivables as doubtful/bad, then it supersedes the above modus operandi, and the doubtful/bad receivables are provided to the extent is doubtful/bad.

ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the statement of profit and loss under the head ‘Other expenses''.

vi) Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a de-recognition event.

Financial liabilities

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

ii) Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

iii) Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at an EIR. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

iv) De-recognition

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.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed, and such designated derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a

specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind-AS 109; and

• The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

f) Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each reporting date.

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 accessible to the Company.

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, including assumptions about risk, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a nonfinancial 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 standalone financial statements are

categorized 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: Financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date are included in Level 1;

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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 require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2; and

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements regularly, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the fair value of asset less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units).

Losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods.

The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

j) Inventories

Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Weighted average cost is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.

Raw materials, packaging materials and stores and spare parts:

Cost includes purchase price, (excluding those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the concerned revenue authorities), freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, the weighted average cost method is used.

The aforesaid items are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. However, these inventories are valued at net realisable value if the finished products in which they are to be incorporated are expected to be sold at a loss.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods:

The cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods is determined on a weighted average basis and comprises direct material, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of traded goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

The aforesaid items are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Provision for obsolescence on

inventories is considered on the basis of management''s estimate based on demand and market of the inventories.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and short-term deposits net of bank overdraft.

l) Business Combination

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Company to obtain control of a business is calculated as the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by the Company as at the acquisition date i.e., date on which it obtains control of the acquiree which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement.

Directly attributable transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of investments in subsidiaries accounted for at cost. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the acquisition date. Intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination and recognised separately from Goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for

non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

m) Equity Share Capital

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset.

The Company''s ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.

n) Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowing using the EIR.

o) Employee benefit plans

i) Short-term employee benefits:

A Short-term employee benefits including salaries, wages, short term compensated absences (such as a paid annual leave) where the absences are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, performance incentives, bonuses payable and ex-gratia etc. are payable within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services, and non-monetary benefits for current employees are estimated and measured on an undiscounted basis.

ii) Post-employment benefits:

• Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions in respect of the employees into a separate fund. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions after its payment of the fixed contribution. The contributions made by the Company towards defined contribution plans, namely, State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance

scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund, are charged to the profit or loss in the period to which the contributions relate.

• Defined benefit plans:

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity and Post Retirement Medical Benefits (PRMB) which are being considered as defined benefit plans covering eligible employees. Under the defined benefit plans, the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee''s length of service, final salary, and other defined parameters. The legal obligation for any benefits remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been set aside.

The Company''s obligation towards defined benefit plans is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date, which recognise

1. Significant Accounting policies

1) Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation

A. Statement of compliance

The Company''s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the ‘Ind AS'') notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act'') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

B. Basis of presentation

The Balance sheet and the Statement of profit and loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance sheet and Statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2023 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 19th May, 2023.

C. Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and a historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss;

2. Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value; and

3. Share based payment transactions

D. Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in crore and have been rounded off to two decimals as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

2) Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

In particulars, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

A. Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (‘CGUs'') (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash

flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgments involve, but are not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

B. Provision for warranty

Warranty provision is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods depending upon the warranty period offered. The percentage to the sales is applied to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. Actual warranty claims are settled against warranty provision. The warranty claims may not exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. Closing warranty provision is bifurcated into Current and Non-current based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 13)

Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier, applied to the volume of product under warranty as on Balance Sheet date. Supplier reimbursements are recognised as separate asset as expected recoverable from vendors against warranty.

C. Estimates related to Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. (Refer Note 35)

D. Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships differences arising between the actual results and

the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. (Refer Note 17)

E. Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligations, key actuarial assumptions

The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity and leave encashment are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. Salary increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis. (Refer Note 31)

Detailed information about each of these estimates andjudgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

F. Contingent Liabilities

It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/ decisions pending with various forums/authorities.

The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the contingent liabilities. The Company''s pending litigations comprise of proceedings pending with various direct tax, indirect tax and other authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where

applicable, in its standalone financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its standalone financial statements.

3) Foreign currency translation

A. Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency'').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company''s functional and presentation currency.

B. Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognized in Statement of profit and loss.

All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are restated at the year end at the exchange rate prevailing at the year end and the exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

4) 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

A. Financial assets Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i) those measured at amortised cost, and

ii) those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI'') or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL'') on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are expensed off in Statement of Profit and Loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (‘FVOCI'') or through profit or loss (‘FVPL'') or amortised cost.

Equity instruments

Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiary companies are measured at cost less impairment.

Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (‘SPPI'') on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company''s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

• Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (‘EIR'') method.

• Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL'') category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s 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 (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize 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.

• On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

• If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralized borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (‘ECL'') model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost

• Trade receivables using the simplified approach. This does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

B. Financial liabilities

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

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.

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed and such designated derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

• The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

5) Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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:

i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible to the Company.

Fair value measurements are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

Level 1: Financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date;

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument; and

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

6) Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE'')

A. Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

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''.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in Statement of profit and loss.

Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

B. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, 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 derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

C. Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of property, plant and equipment where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation.

Management believes that such estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

- Plant and equipment- maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a PPE are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are accordingly recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

7) Intangible assets

A. Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase

price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

B. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

C. Amortisation

Other intangible assets

Useful life (in years)

Product Development

Up to 5

Indefinite

Technical knowhow

Indefinite

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life and are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication for impairment. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Intangible assets for which there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows are considered to have an indefinite life. The assessment of which is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

D. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (Refer Note 34 for a description of impairment testing procedures.)

E. Research and development cost

i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

ii) its intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

iii) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

iv) How the asset will generate future economic benefits including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

vi) its ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over its useful life, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangible assets under development.

8) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount

is higher of the fair value of asset less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

9) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Raw materials, packaging materials and stores and spare parts:

Valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes purchase price, (excluding those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the concerned revenue authorities), freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods:

Valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct material, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of traded goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

Provision for obsolescence on inventories is considered on the basis of management''s estimate based on demand and market of the inventories.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on item by item basis.

10) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and short-term deposits net of bank overdraft.

11) Business Combination

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Company to obtain control of a business is calculated as the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Company as at the acquisition date i.e. date on which it obtains control of the acquiree which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement.

Directly attributable transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of investments in subsidiaries accounted for at cost. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on acquisition-date. Intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination and recognised separately from Goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the

amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

12) Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

13) Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (‘ROU'') and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be

exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU'') to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

14) Employee benefit plans

A. Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

B. Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company''s contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

Defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity liability and post-retirement medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on a net basis.

C. Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

D. Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

E. Share-based Payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of Share-based Payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expense'' with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

15) Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,

require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

16) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. (Refer Note 17)

a) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and

ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

17) Revenue from contract with customers

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of assets (goods or services) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation and 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. Revenue excludes goods and services tax which is recorded separately.

Sale of Goods

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods measured upon satisfaction of performance obligation which is at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, rebates, scheme allowances, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers. Due to the short nature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.

Appropriate provisions are recorded for returns and discounts/incentives which are estimated on the basis of historical experience, market assessment and various discount programs launched by the Company.

Rendering of services

The Company primarily earns revenue from installation, operations and maintenance services which is recognised over the period when services are rendered.

Income from services are recognized as and when performance obligation is met.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a basis of effective interest method as set out in Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, and where no significant uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists.

Dividend income

Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established.

Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

18) Government grants and incentives

Government incentives, such as export benefits etc., are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

The Government incentives are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the

On 31st March, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:

A. Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements -

This amendment requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the standalone financial statements.

B. Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - This amendment has introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates'' and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies

Company recognizes as expenses. The related costs for which the incentives are intended to compensate or immediately if the costs have already been incurred.

19) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

20) Earnings per share (‘EPS'')

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year and for all the years presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

21) Exceptional items

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

22) Segment accounting

The segment reporting of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Ind AS-108, “Operating Segment” (specified under the section 133 of the Companies Act

2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provision of the Act).

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM'') monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.

Revenue and expenses have been identified to a segment on the basis of relationship to operating activities of the segment. Revenue and expenses which relate to enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

Segment assets and segment liabilities represent assets and liabilities in respective segments. Investments, tax related assets, borrowings and other assets and liabilities that can not be allocated to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

23) Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of trans

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the ‘Company'' or ‘Crompton'') is engaged in the business of manufacturing, trading, selling and distribution of fans, lighting, pumps and appliances. The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Mumbai, India.

1. Significant Accounting policies

1) Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation

a) Statement of compliance

The Company''s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the ‘Ind AS'') notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act'') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.

b) Basis of presentation

The Balance sheet and the Statement of profit and loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance sheet and Statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Indian Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2022 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 27th May 2022.

c) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and a historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

2. Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value

3. Share based payment transactions

d) Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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:

i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible to the Company.

Fair value measurements are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

• Level 1: Financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date are included in Level 1;

• Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and

• Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

2) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in crore and have been rounded off to two decimals as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

3) Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

a) Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the

carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involve, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

b) Provision for warranty

Warranty provision is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods depending upon the warranty period offered. The percentage to the sales is applied to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. Actual warranty claims are settled against warranty provision. The warranty claims may not exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. Closing warranty provision is bifurcated into Current and Noncurrent based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years. (Refer Note 21)

Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier/ scrappage, applied to the volume of product under warranty as on Balance Sheet date. Supplier reimbursements are recognised as separate asset as anticipated recovery.

c) Estimates related to Share-based payments Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This

estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. (Refer Note 39)

d) Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. (Refer Note 22)

e) Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligations, key actuarial assumptions

The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity and leave encashment are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. Salary increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis. (Refer Note 35)

Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

f) Contingent Liability

It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.

The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the contingent liabilities. The Company''s pending litigations comprise of proceedings pending with various direct tax, indirect tax and other authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its standalone financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its standalone financial statements.

4) Foreign currency translation

a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency'').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company''s functional and presentation currency.

b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognized in Statement of profit and loss.

All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are restated at the year end at the exchange rate prevailing at the year end and the exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

5) Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

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''.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in Statement of profit and loss.

Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, 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 derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of tangible assets where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation.

Management believes that such estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

- Plant and equipment- maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a PPE are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are accordingly recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

6) Intangible assets

a) Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

c) Amortisation

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life as under:

Useful life (in years)

Computer Software

5

Trademarks

Indefinite

Technical knowhow

Indefinite

Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Intangible assets for which there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows are considered to have an indefinite life. The assessment of which is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues. If not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

d) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (Refer Note 38 for a description of impairment testing procedures.)

e) Research and development cost

i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product

is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the

following can be demonstrated:

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

- the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

- the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

- the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

- the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

7) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the fair value of asset less costs of

disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

8) Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

9) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the

acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

10) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Raw materials, packaging materials and stores and spare parts are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes purchase price, (excluding those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the concerned revenue authorities), freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises direct material, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of traded goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

Provision for obsolescence on inventories is considered on the basis of management''s estimate based on demand and market of the inventories.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on item-by-item basis.

11) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, call deposits and other short- term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to

known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and short-term deposits net of bank overdraft.

12) 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options, and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

a) Financial assets Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i) those measured at amortised cost, and

ii) those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) or through profit or loss (FVPL) or amortised cost.

Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company''s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

• Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.

• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s 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 (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize 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.

• On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

• If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralized borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., deposits and bank balances

b) Trade receivables using the simplified approach. This does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

b) Financial liabilities

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

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.

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally

enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed and such designated derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

• The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

13) Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of

past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

14) Revenue recognition

a) Revenue from goods and services:

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of assets (goods or services) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation and 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.

Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Goods and Services tax is recorded separately.

Rendering of services

The Company primarily earns revenue from installation, operations and maintenance services which is recognised over the period when services are rendered.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met as described below.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of indirect taxes, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties and is not recognised in instances where there is uncertainty with regard to ultimate collection. In such cases revenue is recognised on reasonable certainty of collection.

b) Dividend income

Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established.

c) Interest income

For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

d) Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

15) Government grants and incentives

Government incentives, such as export benefits etc., are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

The Government incentives are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Company recognizes as expenses. The related costs for which the incentives are intended to compensate or immediately if the costs have already been incurred.

16) Employee benefit plans

a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex- gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company''s contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

Defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity liability and post-retirement medical benefits, the

cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on a net basis.

c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

e) Share-based Payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of Share-based Payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expense'' with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

17) Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (ROU) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to

the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

a) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and

ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent

that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

19) Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year and for all the years presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

a) Segment accounting policies:

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. The Company identifies primary business segment based on the different risks and returns, the organization structure and the internal reporting systems. Secondary segments are identified on the basis of geography in which sales have been effected. In addition, the following specific accounting policies have been followed for segment reporting:

i) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.

ii) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.

iii) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.

iv) Segment results include margins on intersegment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.

v) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

b) Inter-segment transfer pricing:

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

21) Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of cash flows exclude items which are not available for general use as at the date of balance sheet.

22) Business Combination

The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Company to obtain control of a business is calculated as the sum of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Company as at the acquisition date i.e. date on which it obtains control of

the acquiree which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement.

Directly attributable transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of investments in subsidiaries accounted for at cost. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on acquisition-date. Intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination and recognised separately from Goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non- controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

Company Overview

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the ‘Company'' or ‘Crompton'') is engaged in the business of manufacturing, trading, selling and distribution of fans, lighting, pumps and appliances. The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Mumbai, India.

1. Significant Accounting Policies 1) Statement of compliances and basis of preparation

and presentation

a) The Company''s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the ‘Ind AS'') notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act'') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.

b) Basis of presentation

The Balance sheet and the Statement of profit and loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance sheet and Statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2021 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 21st May, 2021.

c) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

2. Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

d) Current vs non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

e) The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

f) Fair value measurement:

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

• Level 1: Level 1 inputs include financial

instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date;

• Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments

that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and

• Level 3: If one or more of the significant

inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

2. Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in crore and have been rounded off to two decimal as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

3. Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcome that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information. The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

• Assessment of functional currency [Refer Note 1.4];

• Financial instruments [Refer Note 41];

• Estimates of useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets [Refer Note 1.5 and 1.6];

• Impairment of investments [Refer Note 1.12]

• Valuation of inventories [Refer Note 1.10];

• Measurement of recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units (Refer Note 38);

• Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation, key actuarial assumptions (Refer Note 35);

• Provisions and Contingencies [Refer Note 1.13 and (31)];

• Provision for product warranty [Refer Note 1.13]

• Recognition of revenue from contracts based on stage on completion [Refer Note 1.14]; and

• Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets [Refer Note 1.18].

• Estimates related to Share-based Payments (Refer Note 39).

4. Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency'').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company''s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange

rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

5. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

(a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only, if it is probable that the future economic benefits

associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of tangible assets where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation.

- Plant and equipment- maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a PPE are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are accordingly recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

6. Intangible assets

(a) Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable

to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(c) Amortisation

Intangible assets comprise computer software purchased, which are not an integral part of the related hardware and technical know-how and are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 5 years, which in management''s estimate represents the period during which the economic benefits will be derived from their use.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising as a result of business combination is not amortised and is tested for impairment every year.

(e) Research and development cost (i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

ii. the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

iii. the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

iv. the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

v. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

vi. the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

7. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset''s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present

value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Impairment loss is charged to the Statement of profit and loss in the year in which the asset is identified as impaired. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involve, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

8. Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking

into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

9. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

10. Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, where considered necessary, as under:

(a)

Raw materials, components, stores and spare parts

At lower of cost computed, on weighted average basis and net realisable value

(b)

Work -in-progress - Manufacturing

At lower of cost of materials, plus appropriate production overheads and net realisable value

(c)

Finished goods -Manufacturing

At lower of cost of materials plus appropriate production overheads and net realisable value

(d)

Finished goods -Trading

At lower of cost computed, on weighted average basis and net realisable value

The cost of inventories has been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related 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 the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in the production are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

11. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

12. 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

(a) Financial assets Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i. those measured at amortised cost, and

ii. those to be measured at either fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) or through profit or loss (FVTPL) or amortised cost.

Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company''s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are two measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

• Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment

(unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.

• Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part

of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is

primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the

Company''s 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 (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize 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.

• On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

• If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralized borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits and bank balances

b) Trade receivables - The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

(b) Financial liabilities

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

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.

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed and such designated derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

• The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

13. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows.

A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

4. Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from goods and services:

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of assets (goods or services) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation and 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.

Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/arrangements with the customers as the service is performed.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established.

(c) Interest income

For all interest bearing financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

(d) Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

5. Government grants and incentives

Government incentives, such as export benefits etc.,

are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable

assurance that the Company will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

The Government incentives are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Company recognizes as expenses. The related costs for which the incentives are intended to compensate or immediately if the costs have already been incurred.

16. Employee benefit plans

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company''s contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

Defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity liability and post-retirement medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on a net basis.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

(d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(e) Share-based Payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of Share-based Payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expense'' with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value

of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

17. Leases- Operating

Ind AS 116, Leases, requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The Company as a lessee:

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (ROU) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

18. Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and

ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

19. Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, by using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

20. Exceptional items

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

21. Segment accounting

(a) Segment accounting policies:

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. The

Company identifies primary business segment based on the different risks and returns, the organization structure and the internal reporting systems. Secondary segments are identified on the basis of geography in which sales have been effected. In addition, the following specific accounting policies have been followed for segment reporting:

i) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.

ii) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.

iii) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.

iv) Segment results include margins on intersegment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.

v) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

(b) Inter-segment transfer pricing:

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

22. Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of cash flows exclude items which are not available for general use as at the date of balance sheet.


Mar 31, 2019

1) Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation

a) The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the ‘Ind AS’) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.

b) Basis of presentation

The Balance sheet and the Statement of profit and loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance sheet and Statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

The Standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2019 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 21st May, 2019.

c) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

2. Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

d) Current vs non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

e) The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

f) Fair Value Measurement:

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

- Level 1: Level 1 inputs include financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date;

- Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and

- Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

2. Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in crore and have been rounded off to two decimal as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

3. Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcome that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information. The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

- Assessment of functional currency [Refer Note (1.4)];

- Financial instruments [Refer Note (41)];

- Estimates of useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets [Refer Note (1.5) and (1.6)];

- Impairment of investments [Refer Note (1.12)]

- Valuation of inventories [Refer Note (1.10)];

- Measurement of recoverable amounts of cash-generating units [Refer Note (38)];

- Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation, key actuarial assumptions [Refer Note (35)];

- Provisions and Contingencies [Refer Note (1.13) and (31)];

- Provision for product warranty [Refer Note (1.13)]

- Recognition of revenue from contracts based on stage on completion [Refer Note (1.14)]; and

- Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets [Refer Note (1.18)];.

4. Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency’).

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

5. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

(a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of tangible assets where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation.

- Plant and equipment- maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of a PPE are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are accordingly recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

6. Intangible assets

(a) Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(c) Amortisation

Intangible assets comprise computer software purchased, which are not an integral part of the related hardware and technical know-how and are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 5 years, which in management’s estimate represents the period during which the economic benefits will be derived from their use.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising as a result of business combination is not amortised and is tested for impairment every year.

(e) Research and development cost

(i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

ii. the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

iii. the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

iv. the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

v. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

vi. the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

7. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Impairment loss is charged to the Statement of profit and loss in the year in which the asset is identified as impaired. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involve, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

8. Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

9. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

10. Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, where considered necessary, as under:

The cost of inventories has been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

11. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

12. 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

(a) Financial assets Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i. those measured at amortised cost, and

ii. those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) or through profit or loss (FVPL) or amortised cost.

Debt instruments

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

- Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.

- Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily de-recognised (i.e., removed from the Company’s 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 ‘passthrough’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize 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.

- On de-recognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

- If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not de-recognized and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralized borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits and bank balances

b) Trade receivables - The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

(b) Financial liabilities

The Company’s financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is de-recognised 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 de-recognition 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.

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counter party.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts hedge accounting is not followed and such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

- The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

- The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

13. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows.

A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

14. Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from goods and services:-

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services.

Amounts disclosed are inclusive of excise duty (upto 30th June 2017) and net of returns, trade discounts, rebates, incentives, goods and services tax(from 1st July 2017) / value added tax/ central sales tax and amounts collected on behalf of the third parties.

Revenue from fixed price contracts where performance obligation is satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method.

Maintenance revenue is recognized over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established,

(c) Interest income

For all interest bearing financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

(d) Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

15. Government grants and incentives

Government incentives are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

The Government incentives are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Company recognizes the related costs for which the incentives are intended to compensate as expense or immediately if the costs have already been incurred.

16. Employee benefit plans

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company’s contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

The Company’s cost of Defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity liability and post-retirement medical benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on a net basis.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

(d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(e) Share-based payment:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expense’ with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

17. Leases- Operating

The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of the inception.

Assets taken on lease under which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in Statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

18. Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and

ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

19. Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, by using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

20. Exceptional items:

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

21. Segment accounting

(a) Segment accounting policies:

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. The Company identifies primary business segment based on the different risks and returns, the organization structure and the internal reporting systems. Secondary segments are identified on the basis of geography in which sales have been effected. In addition, the following specific accounting policies have been followed for segment reporting:

i) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.

ii) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.

iii) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.

iv) Segment results include margins on inter-segment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.

v) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

(b) Inter-segment transfer pricing:

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

22. Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of cash flows exclude items which are not available for general use as at the date of balance sheet.

23. Recent accounting pronouncements and effective dates

(a) Ind AS 116, Leases:

Ind AS 116 is applicable for financial reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2019 and replaces existing lease accounting guidance, namely Ind AS 17, Leases. Ind AS 116 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use (‘ROU’) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The nature of expenses related to those leases will change as Ind AS 116 replaces the operating lease expense (i.e., rent) with depreciation charge for ROU assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard - i.e., lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

The Company is in the process of analysing the impact of new lease standard on its financial statements.

(b) Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments :

On 30th March, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12 is required to be disclosed.

The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 12 Appendix C is annual periods beginning on or after 1 st April, 2019.

(c) Amendment to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes :

On 30th March, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to the guidance in Ind AS 12, Income Taxes, in connection with accounting for dividend distribution taxes. The amendment clarifies that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events.

Effective date for application of this amendment is annual period beginning on or after 1st April, 2019. At present the standard is not applicable to the Company.

(d) Amendment to Ind AS 19 - Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement :

On 30th March, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’, in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity:

- to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and

- to recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling.

Effective date for application of this amendment is annual period beginning on or after 1st April, 2019. The Company does not have any material impact on account of this amendment.


Mar 31, 2018

(1) Basis of preparation

a) The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the ‘Ind AS’) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act.

These financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018 are the first that the Company has prepared under Ind AS. For all periods up to and including the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Section 133 of the Act read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (the ‘previous GAAP’) used for its statutory reporting requirement in India immediately before adopting Ind AS. The financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2017 and the opening Balance sheet as at 1st April, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative information. Reconciliations and explanations of the effect of the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS on the Company’s Balance sheet, Statement of profit and loss and Statement of cash flows are provided in Note 45.

The financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements, including the preparation of the opening Ind AS Balance sheet as at 1st April, 2016 being the ‘date of transition to Ind AS’. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purposes of current or noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2018 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 15th May, 2018.

b) The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

2. Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

(2) Rounding of amounts

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

(3) Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcome that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information. The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

- Assessment of functional currency (Refer Note 2 (i));

- Financial instruments (Refer Note 43);

- Estimates of useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Refer Note (5) and (6));

- Valuation of inventories (Refer Note (10));

- Measurement of recoverable amounts of cash-generating units (Refer Note 40);

- Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation, key actuarial assumptions (Refer Note 37);

- Provisions and Contingencies (Refer Note (13) and (32));

- Recognition of revenue from contracts based on stage on completion (Refer Note (14)); and

- Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets (Refer Note 22).

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

(4) Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(5) Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

(a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, of all its PPE as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that as the deemed cost as at the transition date pursuant to the exemption under Ind AS 101.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Act, except in respect of following category of tangible assets where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation:

- Plant and equipment- maximum 21 years

- Furniture and fixtures - maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Profit or loss on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount at the time of sale. These are included in Statement of profit and loss.

(6) Intangible assets

(a) Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and used that as the deemed cost as at the transition date pursuant to the exemption under Ind AS 101.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(c) Amortisation

Intangible assets comprise computer software purchased, which are not an integral part of the related hardware and technical know-how and are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 5 years, which in management’s estimate represents the period during which the economic benefits will be derived from their use.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising as a result of business combination is not amortised and is tested for impairment every year.

(e) Research and development cost

(i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

(i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

(ii) the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;

(iii) the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

(iv) the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

(vi) the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

(7) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Impairment loss is charged to the Statement of profit and loss in the year in which the asset is identified as impaired.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

(8) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they occur.

(9) Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, if any, as under:

(a) Raw materials, components, stores and spare parts. : At lower of cost computed, on weighted average basis and net realisable value.

(b) Work -in-progress - Manufacturing : At lower of cost of materials, plus appropriate production overheads and net realisable value.

(c) Finished goods - Manufacturing : At lower of cost of materials plus appropriate production overheads and net realisable value.

(d) Finished goods - Trading : : At lower of cost computed, on weighted average basis and net realisable value

The cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

(10) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(1 1 ) 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 instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

(a) Financial assets Classification

The Company shall classify financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Debt instruments

- A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

- After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of profit and loss. Debt instruments included within the fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

- A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s 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

(a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) 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 pass-through 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 recognize 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.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits and bank balances

b) Trade receivables - The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

(b) Financial liabilities Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

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 including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.

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 as 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.

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

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated 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 recognised in OCI. These gains/loss are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss. 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 and loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and borrowings

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 and loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

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

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

De-recognition

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 de-recognition 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.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts hedge accounting is not followed and such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

(12) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

A provision is recognised if as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

(13) Revenue recognition

(a) Sale of goods

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred by the Company, the entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods as well as regarding its ultimate collection. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade discounts, rebates, incentives, goods and services tax / value added tax / central sales tax and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

(b) Sale of services

Service income is recognised as per the terms of the contracts / arrangements with the customers on proportionate completion method. When it can be measured reliably and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from rendering the service and is recognised net of service tax /goods and services tax, as applicable.

(c) Revenue from contracts

Revenue from contracts is recognised by applying percentage of completion method after providing for foreseeable losses, if any. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of the costs incurred up to the reporting date to the total estimated cost to complete. Foreseeable loss, if any, on the contracts is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of foreseeable loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included in contract revenue is taken into consideration. Contract is reflected at cost till such time the outcome of the contract cannot be ascertained reliably and at realisable value thereafter. Claims are accounted as income when accepted by customer.

(d) Dividend income

Dividend is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established.

(e) Interest income

For all interest bearing financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

(f) Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

(14) Employee benefits

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company’s contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

For defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity fund and post-retirement medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Actuarial gains / losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

(d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(e) Share-based payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expense’ with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

(15) Leases- Operating

The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of the inception. Assets taken on lease under which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in Statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

(16) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in Other Comprehensive Income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted as at the reporting date. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and

ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

(17) Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

(18) Exceptional items:

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

(19) Segment accounting

(a) Segment accounting policies:

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. The Company identifies primary business segment based on the different risks and returns, the organization structure and the internal reporting systems. Secondary segments are identified on the basis of geography in which sales have been effected. In addition, the following specific accounting policies have been followed for segment reporting:

i) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including intersegment revenue.

ii) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.

iii) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.

iv) Segment results includes margins on inter-segment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.

v) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

(b) Inter-segment transfer pricing:

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

(20) Current vs non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

(21) Recent accounting pronouncements

Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers: In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018, notifying Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers (New Revenue Standard), which replaces Ind AS 11, Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18, Revenue. The core principle of the New Revenue Standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Some of the key changes introduced by the New Revenue Standard include additional guidance for multiple-element arrangements, measurement approaches for variable consideration, adjustments for time value of money etc. Significant additional disclosures in relation to revenue are also prescribed. The New Revenue Standard also provides two broad alternative transition options - Retrospective Method and Cumulative Effect Method - with certain practical expedients available under the Retrospective Method. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 is expected to be insignificant.

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration: Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration was notified along with the same notification which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effect on adoption is expected to be insignificant

(22) First-time adoption under Ind AS

The Company has prepared opening Balance sheet as per Ind AS as of 1st April, 2016 (Transition Date) by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, derecognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted to be recognised by Ind AS, reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required, and applying Ind AS to measure the recognised assets and liabilities. The exemptions availed by the Company under Ind AS 101 are as follows:

(i) The Company has adopted the carrying value determined in accordance with previous GAAP for all of its property plant & equipment and intangible assets as deemed cost of such assets at the transition date.

(ii) The estimates as at 1st April, 2016 and at 31st March, 2017 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with previous GAAP.


Mar 31, 2017

(1) Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards, the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. Further, the guidance notes / announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also considered, wherever applicable, except to the extent where compliance with other statutory bodies, viz., SEBI guidelines override the same requiring a different treatment. Certain escalation and other claims are accounted for in terms of contracts with the customers / admitted by the appropriate authorities.

(2) Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. The examples of such estimates include, the useful life of tangible and intangible assets, allowances for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, etc. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions and in such case, the difference is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalised until the assets are ready for use as intended by the management. Subsequent upgradations / enhancements which results in an increase in the future benefits from such assets, beyond the previously assessed standard of performance, are also capitalised. Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of tangible assets and whose use is not regular in nature are capitalised and written-off over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset.

(b) Administrative and other general overheads that are specifically attributable to construction or acquisition of tangible assets or bringing the tangible assets to working condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management are allocated and capitalised as a part of tangible assets.

(g) Capital expenditure on tangible assets for research and development is classified under tangible assets and is depreciated on the same basis as other tangible assets.

(h) Tangible assets are eliminated from financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use. Losses arising in case retirement of assets and gains or losses arising from disposal of tangible assets are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.

(i) Useful lives and residual values of the assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

(B) Intangible assets and amortisation:

Intangible assets:

(1) Computer software: Over a period of five years

(2) Technical know-how: Over a period of five years (from the date of its availability for use)

(d) Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the balance sheet are disclosed as ‘intangible assets under development’.

(e) Amortisation on impaired assets is provided by adjusting the amortisation charges in the remaining periods so as to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

(f) Research and development cost:

(1 ) Research cost:

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(2) Development cost:

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated.

(i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

(a) the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

(b) the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous accounting periods, if any.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is determined:

(a) In the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use; and

(b) In the case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.)

(6) Inventories :

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, if any, as under:

(a) Raw materials, components, stores and spare parts : At lower of cost computed, on weighted average basis and net realisable value

Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

(7) Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. Cost of investments include acquisition charges, if any, and are stated at lower of cost and fair value determined on individual basis.

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 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 effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the income statement.

(12) Revenue recognition:

a. Sale of goods:

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised, when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, as per the terms of contracts and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from sale of the goods.
