Provisions for legal claims, product warranties and other obligations are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or
constructive) obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The expense relating to a
provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any
one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a
provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the 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. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the
economic benefits expected to be received under it. The Company at the end of every reporting period conducts the onerous
contract test per the provisions of Ind AS 37 by comparing the remaining costs to be incurred under the contract with the related
revenue of the contract. Where the costs of a contract exceed the related revenue of the contract, the Company makes a provision
for the difference.
In cases where the obligations include warranty liabilities, the Company provides warranties for general repairs of defects that
existed at the time of sale, as required by law. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are recognised when the
product is sold or the service is provided to the customer. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate
of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be measured.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses the same as per the requirements of Ind AS 37.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the
end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are
presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Contribution towards provident fund and employee state insurance for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the
Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry
any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.
The Company has a superannuation plan for the benefit of its employees. Employees who are members of the defined benefit
superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service and salary drawn. The Company contributes up
to 12% of the eligible employees'' salary or INR 100,000 / INR 150,000, whichever is lower, every year. Such contributions are
recognised as an expense as and when incurred. The Company does not have any further obligations beyond this contribution.
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the
Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 as well as accordance with the rules of the Company. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment
to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective
employee''s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in the Company is funded through annual contribution to Life
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under the Company''s Gratuity Scheme (refer note 17).
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the
defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company''s liability is actuarially
determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation
is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement
gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity
through other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings through OCI in the
statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in statement of profit and
loss.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end
are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating
compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the
year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company''s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected
Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting
the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which
they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised, and the
distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is
approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an
equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the
reporting period.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that
have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
- The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion
of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the
most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(i) Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the
lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in
evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
(ii) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company applies the judgements in respect to transactions relating to tooling development, Principal versus agent
consideration that significant financing component in a contract that significantly affect the determination of the amount
and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. For more details, refer note 2.2.3
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are
described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were
prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market change
or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Company uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for determining the economic
useful life of an asset/component of an asset. The useful lives are reviewed by management periodically and revised,
if appropriate. In case of a revision, the unamortised amount is charged over the remaining useful life of the assets.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment defined benefits are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves 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 reporting date.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 17
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount
and timing of future taxable income. Given the nature of business 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 creates 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. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a
wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
Valuation of recoverable income tax assets especially with respect to deferred tax assets on the tax loss carry forwards.
The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining
the provision for income taxes. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates
of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts
that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the
period in which such determination is made.
Above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in assumption while holding all the other assumptions constant. In
practice, this is unlikely to occur, and change in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the
sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the
defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been
applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in balance sheet.
The gratuity scheme is a salary defined benefit plan that provides for lump sum payment made on exit either by way of
retirement, death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period
of service and paid as lump sum at the seperation. The risk associated with measurement of defined benefit plan
obligations and thereby the financial results are:
(a) Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds,
if bond yield fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(b) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(c) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include
mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation
is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria .
Weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 8 years (March 31, 2024: 9 years)
Expected benefit payments are as follows:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant
inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
a. the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
b. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
c. i nputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves
observable at commonly quoted intervals
d. the fair value of the financial instruments covered under level 3 is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company in its capacity as a domestic active supplier for the automobile industry is exposed to various risks i.e., market
risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Concentrating on the plants make it necessary for implementing an organized risk management
system. The Company is therefore exposed to risks associated with domestic automotive industry in particular.
The Company has set up a Risk Management Committee (RMC) at the board level to periodically review operating, financial
and strategic risks in the business and their mitigating factors. RMC has formulated Risk Management Policy for the Company
which outlines the risk management framework to help minimize the impact of uncertainty on the Company''s strategic goals.
The framework enables a structured and disciplined approach to risk management. The Company has developed guidelines on
risk controlling and the use of financial instruments. These guidelines contain a clear allocation of duties. Risks are controlled and
monitored by means of operational and financial measures.
Below are the major risks which can impact the Company:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cashflows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in
market price/ rate. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risks.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include payables/ receivables in foreign currencies.
Fluctuations in commodity price in global market affects directly and indirectly the price of raw material and components
used by the Company in its various products segment. Substantial pricing pressure from major OEMs to give price cuts
and inability to pass on the increased cost to customers may also affect the profitability of the Company.
The key raw material for the Company''s wiring harness business is copper. There are substantial fluctuations in prices
of copper. The Company has arrangements with its major customers for passing on the price impact.
The Company is regularly taking initiatives like VA-VE (value addition, value engineering) to reduce its raw material costs
to meet targets set up by its customers for cost downs. In respect of customer nominated parts, the Company has back
to back arrangements for cost savings with its suppliers.
The foreign exchange risk majorly arises from imports, however the Company has arrangements with its major
domestic customers for passing on the exchange impact on import purchases.
The hedged and unhedged foreign currency exposure is as follows:
c. Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates.There is no borrowing taken by the company, hence there is no interest rate risk.
B Credit risk:
The credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations towards the Company and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers and
deposits with banking institutions.
Trade receivables
The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. The Company''s primary
customers are major Indian automobile manufacturers (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Non-OEM clients are subjected to
credit assessments as a precautionary measure, and the adherence of all clients to payment due dates is monitored on an
on-going basis, thereby practically eliminating the risk of default and impairment. (Refer note 5 for total Trade receivables
outstanding).
Financial instruments and cash deposits
The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. Primary banking institutions are major Indian
and foreign banks. In long term credit ratings these banking institutions are considered to be investment grade. Also, no
impairment loss has been recorded in respect of fixed deposits that are with recognised commercial banks and are not past
due.
C Liquidity risk:
The liquidity risk encompasses any risk that the Company cannot fully meet its financial obligations. To manage the liquidity
risk, cash flow forecasting is performed in the Company. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity
The Company''s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that
they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company monitors Net Debt to EBITDA ratio i.e. Net debt (total borrowings & lease liabilities net of cash and cash
equivalents) divided by EBITDA (Profit before tax plus depreciation and amortization expense plus finance costs less interest
income).

Provisions for legal claims, product warranties and other obligations are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the 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. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The Company at the end of every reporting period conducts the onerous contract test per the provisions of Ind AS 37 by comparing the remaining costs to be incurred under the contract with the related revenue of the contract. Where the costs of a contract exceed the related revenue of the contract, the Company makes a provision for the difference.
In cases where the obligations include warranty liabilities, the Company provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are recognised when the product is sold or the service is provided to the customer. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be measured.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses the same as per the requirements of Ind AS 37.
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees''
services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Contribution towards provident fund and employee state insurance for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.
The Company has a superannuation plan for the benefit of its employees. Employees who are members of the defined benefit superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service and salary drawn. The Company contributes up to 12% of the eligible employees'' salary or INR 100,000/ INR 150,000, whichever is lower, every year. Such contributions are recognised as an expense as and when incurred. The Company does not have any further obligations beyond this contribution.
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 as well as accordance with the rules of the Company. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in the Company is funded through annual contribution to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under the Company''s Gratuity Scheme (refer note 17).
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company''s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity through other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings through OCI in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company''s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
â the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
â The weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(i) Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
(ii) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company applies the judgements in respect to transactions relating to tooling development, Principal versus agent consideration that significant financing component in a contract that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. For more details, refer note 2.2.3
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are
described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Company uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for determining the economic useful life of an asset/component of an asset. The useful lives are reviewed by management periodically and revised, if appropriate. In case of a revision, the unamortised amount is charged over the remaining useful life of the assets.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment defined benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves 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 reporting date.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 17.
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the nature of business 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 creates 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. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
Valuation of recoverable income tax assets especially with respect to deferred tax assets on the tax loss carry forwards. The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
The gratuity scheme is a salary defined benefit plan that provides for lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at the seperation. The risk associated with measurement of defined benefit plan obligations and thereby the financial results are:
(a) Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds, if bond yield fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(b) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(c) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria.
Weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 9 years (March 31, 2023: 9 years)
Level 1: hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
a. the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
b. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
c. inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals
d. the fair value of the financial instruments covered under level 3 is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. Financial risk management
The The Company in its capacity as a domestic active supplier for the automobile industry is exposed to various risks i.e., market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Concentrating on the plants make it necessary for implementing an organized risk management system. The Company is therefore exposed to risks associated with domestic automotive industry in particular.
The Company has set up a Risk Management Committee (RMC) at the board level to periodically review operating, financial and strategic risks in the business and their mitigating factors. RMC has formulated Risk Management Policy for the Company which outlines the risk management framework to help minimize the impact of uncertainty on the Company''s strategic goals. The framework enables a structured and disciplined approach to risk management. The Company has developed guidelines on
risk controlling and the use of financial instruments. These guidelines contain a clear allocation of duties. Risks are controlled and monitored by means of operational and financial measures.
Below are the major risks which can impact the Company:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cashflows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market price/ rate. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk and other price risks. Financial instruments affected by market risk include payables/ receivables in foreign currencies.
Fluctuations in commodity price in global market affects directly and indirectly the price of raw material and components used by the Company in its various products segment. Substantial pricing pressure from major OEMs to give price cuts and inability to pass on the increased cost to customers may also affect the profitability of the Company.
The key raw material for the Company''s wiring harness business is copper. There are substantial fluctuations in prices of copper. The Company has arrangements with its major customers for passing on the price impact.
The Company is regularly taking initiatives like VA-VE (value addition, value engineering) to reduce its raw material costs to meet targets set up by its customers for cost downs. In respect of customer nominated parts, the Company has back to back arrangements for cost savings with its suppliers.
The foreign exchange risk majorly arises from imports, however the Company has arrangements with its major domestic customers for passing on the exchange impact on import purchases.

The credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations towards the Company and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers and deposits with banking institutions.
The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. The Company''s primary customers are major Indian automobile manufacturers (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Non-OEM clients are subjected to credit assessments as a precautionary measure, and the adherence of all clients to payment due dates is monitored on an on-going basis, thereby practically eliminating the risk of default and impairment. (Refer note 6 for total Trade receivables outstanding).
The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. Primary banking institutions are major Indian and foreign banks.

Above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in assumption while holding all the other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and change in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in balance sheet.
The gratuity scheme is a salary defined benefit plan that provides for lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the
basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at the seperation. The risk associated with measuremetn of defined benefit plan obligations and thereby the financial results are:
(a) Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on
government bonds, if bond yield fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(b) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit
obligation.
(c) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements
that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria .
(xi) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
Weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 9 years (March 31, 2022: 9 years)
C. The Code on Social Security, 2020 (''Code'') relating to employee benefits during employment and postemployment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India, however, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/interpretation have not yet been issued by the Government of India. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective.
The Company has not transferred the amount remaining unspent in respect of other than ongoing projects, to a Fund specified in Schedule VII to the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), as the period for such transfer i.e. six months of the expiry of the financial year as permitted under second proviso to sub-section (5) of section 135 of the Act, has not elapsed.
Since the Company does not meet the prescribed criteria in previous year, hence the CSR provisions were not applicable.
(i) The Company does not have any potential equity shares and thus, weighted average number of shares for computation of basic EPS and diluted EPS remains the same.
1 The shareholders of the Company approved the issue of bonus shares on November 5, 2022 in proportion of 2 equity shares for every 5 equity shares held. These bonus shares have been allotted on November 18, 2022 and got trading approval from stock exchanges from November 28, 2022. Accordingly, the Earnings Per Share (Basic and Diluted) for the current year as well as previous year have been calculated after considering the impact of issuance of equity shares.
31 Pursuant to the functional support agreement with SAMIL, the Company reimburses the cost of such support which are allocated to the Company on a mutually agreed basis primarily in proportion of relative revenues. These costs are included in the respective expense head as mentioned below.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
iii. Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
a. the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
b. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
c. inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals
d. the fair value of the financial instruments covered under level 3 is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
