(i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, fair value through profit and loss investments and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,2023 and March 31,2022.

The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt and derivatives and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant and on the basis of hedge designations in place at March 31,2023.

(i) (a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company''s financial instruments will fluctuate due to

change in the market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate relates primarily to the Company''s borrowings with floating interest rates.

The Company enters into contracts with financial institutions in nature of interest rate swap, to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates in respect of its borrowings.

(i) (b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations and foreign currency revenues and expenses. The Company has exposures to United States Dollars (''USD''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Euro (''EUR'') and other currencies. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its trade receivables.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% appreciation or depreciation of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would cause the profit before tax in proportion to revenue to increase or decrease respectively by 0.05% (March 31,2022: 0.01%)

(i) (c) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing purchase and manufacture of automotive cables & lamps and therefore require a continuous supply of below said products. The Company''s Board of Directors has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation.

(ii)Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, loan to subsidiary, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

a. Trade receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit as per the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, since majority of its customers are reputed automobile companies and are spread across multiple geographies.

c. Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk is limited, as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investment primarily includes investment in liquid mutual fund units. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.

(iii) Liquidity risk

The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investment in mutual funds and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its trade receivables.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% appreciation or depreciation of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would cause the profit before tax in proportion to revenue to increase or decrease respectively by 0.01% (March 31, 2021: 0.02%).

(i) (c) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing purchase and manufacture of automotive cables & lamps and therefore require a continuous supply of below said products. The Company''s Board of Directors has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, loan to subsidiary, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

a. Trade receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit as per the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, since majority of its customers are reputed automobile companies and are spread across multiple geographies.

c. Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk is limited, as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investment primarily includes investment in liquid mutual fund units. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.

(iii) Liquidity risk

The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investment in mutual funds and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

8.Financial risk management: The Company''s activities expose it to the following risks:

(i) Credit risk

(ii) Interest rate risk

(iii) Liquidity risk

(iv) Market risk

(v) Commodity price risk

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

a. Trade receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit as per the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, since majority of its customers are reputed automobile companies and are spread across multiple geographies.

c. Other financial assets, investments and deposits with banks

Credit risk is limited, as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investment primarily includes investment in liquid mutual fund units. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate due to change in the market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate relates primarily to the Company’s borrowings with floating interest rates.

(iii) Liquidity risk

The Company has exposures to United States Dollars (''USD''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Euro (''EUR'') and other currencies. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities.

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counter party for these transactions are banks. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% appreciation or depreciation of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would cause the profit before exceptional items in proportion to revenue to increase or decrease respectively by 0.01% (March 31, 2017: 0.02%).

(v) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing purchase and manufacture of automotive cables & lamps and therefore require a continuous supply of below said products.

B Exemptions applied

(ii) The Company has elected to measure its investments in subsidiaries using the Previous GAAP carrying amount as deemed cost as on the date of transition to Ind AS.

D Notes to reconciliation between Previous GAAP and Ind AS: (i) Fair valuation of mutual funds

Under previous GAAP, current investments were measured at lower of cost or fair value and long term investments were measured at cost less diminution in value which is other than temporary. Under Ind AS, financial assets other than those valued at amortized cost are measured at fair value.

Investment in mutual funds have been classified as fair value through statement of profit and loss and fair value changes are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(ii) Fair valuation of forward contracts

Under previous GAAP, in relation to the forward contracts entered into, to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with paragraphs 36 and 37 of AS 11.

10. Standards issued but not yet effective

i) Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers. The standard replaces Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18 Revenue.

The core principle of Ind AS 115 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.

Ind AS 115 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

- Identify the contract(s) with a customer

- Identify the performance obligation in contract

- Determine the transaction price

- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

- Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Ind AS 115 establishes control-based revenue recognition model. An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ''control'' of the goods or services underlying the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Also, Ind AS 115 provides more guidance for deciding whether revenue is recognized at a point in time or over time.

Transitional options under Ind AS 115:

''- Retrospectively to each prior period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, subject to some practical expedients mentioned in Ind AS 115

''- Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized at the date of initial application

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of Ind AS 115 on its financial statements.

(ii) Appendix B to Ind AS 21 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Appendix clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

Entities may apply the Appendix requirements on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply these requirements prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognized on or after:

(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix, or

(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of the aforesaid on its financial statements.
