Whenever the natural hedge is not available or is not fully covering the foreign currency exposure of the Company, management uses certain derivative instruments to manage its exposure to the foreign currency risk.

Effective April 1,2019, these derivatives are designated as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in cash flow hedges.

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The economic relationship and hedge effectiveness are based on the qualitative factors and the use of a hypothetical derivative where appropriate. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk and notional amount of the hedging instruments are identical to the hedged items.

43A Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of two types of risks namely currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of the market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters while optimising the return. a. 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 exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency), investments & borrowing in foreign currency, etc.

The Company’s exposure arises mainly on import (of raw material and capital items), export (of finished goods) and foreign currency borrowings. The Company follows a policy of matching of import and export exposures (natural hedge) to reduce the net exposure in any foreign currency. Whenever the natural hedge is not available or is not fully covering the foreign currency exposure of the Company, management uses certain derivative instruments to manage its exposure to the foreign currency risk. Foreign currency transactions are managed within approved policy parameters.

Cash and cash equivalents and bank balances

Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash is considered negligible as counterparties are banks. The management considers the credit quality of deposits with such banks to be good and reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are unsecured in nature and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Trade receivable are non-interest bearing and are settled upto 30 to 180 days terms.

Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to whom the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance of trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as default risk of industry, historical experience for customers, etc. However, the allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the year ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022 is insignificant.

The operating segment of the Company is identified to be “Automotive components” as the CODM reviews business performance at an overall Company level as one segment.

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accumulated at amortised cost based on facts and circumstances at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.

Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition.

B.7 Notes to Ind AS 101 - First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards reconciliation

a. Measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost: Under Previous GAAP, all assets and liabilities that are now classified under the head financial assets and financial liabilities were carried at cost.

Under Ind AS, certain financial assets and financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost which involves the application of effective interest rate method (EIR). In applying the effective interest method, an entity identifies fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

b. Fair valuation of investments in mutual fund (fair value through profit and loss account): Under the previous GAAP, long term investments were measured at cost less diminution in value . Under the Ind AS, investments in mutual fund are measured at fair value as at the transition date, the Company has made irrevocable choice to account for these investments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

c. Prior period items: Under previous GAAP, prior period items were reflected as part of current year expense or income in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the prior period items are adjusted to the period to which they relate and these are adjusted against opening equity of the earliest period presented.

d. Proposed dividend: Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.

e. Merger of Uttarakhand Aoutomotives Limited (UAL): Effect of retrospective application of Ind AS 103- Business Combinations for UAL merger affected from April 01, 2015. (refer Note 46)

f. Government Grant (EPCG): Under the previous GAAP, EPCG benefit were not considered as government grant. Under Ind AS, EPCG benefits are considered as government grant thus EPCG benefit has been considered as Deferred revenue under other liabilities and a equivalent portion has been added up to the gross block of plant and machinery. The deferred revenue is being amortised over the life of the assets considering the benefits of grant to be over the life of the asset.

g. Re-measurement gains on defined benefit plans: Under Ind AS, Remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined liability, are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit and loss in previous GAAP.

h. Excise duty: Under previous GAAP, excise duty and certain sales related obligations had been netted off with income from sale of tyres, tubes and flaps, however under Ind AS, these items have been shown under expenses.

i. Deferred Tax: Under Ind AS, deferred tax has been recalculated in respect of above changes and the deferred tax impact as at the transition date has been recognised in opening reserves and for the year ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 has been recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

16. RECONCILIATION OF LIABILITIES FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Amendment to Ind AS 7 Satatement of cashflows, which require the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both change sarising from cash flows and non cash changes,suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the Balance Sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirements.The adoption of the amendment did not have any material impact on the financial statements, accordingly, the reconciliation is not disclosed.

17. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

The Board of Directors have recommended a final dividend of Rs.0.40 per share amounting to Rs.5.41 crores on equity Shares of Rs.1/- each for the year, subject to approval from shareholders. Dividend distribution tax on the same amounts to Rs.1.10 crores.

18. Revenue of the Company for the period ended March 31, 2018 is net of Goods and Service Tax (GST) which is applicable to the Company from July 01, 2017, however, revenue for the period upto June 30, 2017 is net of Value added taxes but gross of excise duty. Accordingly, revenue for the period ended March 31, 2018 is not comparable with the previous year presented in these financial statements. Similarly expenses are also not comparable.

19. Previous year’s figures have been regrouped / reclassified, where necessary, to confirm to this year’s classification.
