Accounting Policies of Syrma SGS Technology Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2 Summary of material accounting policy
information

2.1 Statement of compliance

The standalone financial statements of the Company
have been prepared and presented in accordance with
the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
GAAP comprises of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS) as specified in Sec 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
("the Act") read together with Rule 3 of the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 ("the Rules")
and the relevant amendment rules issued thereafter,
pronouncements of regulatory bodies applicable to the
Company and other provisions of the Act.

These standalone financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2025 (''financial statements'') are
approved and adopted by the Board of Directors
in their meeting held on 13 May 2025. The revision
to financial statements is permitted by Board of
Directors after obtaining necessary approvals or at the
instance of regulatory authorities as per provisions of
Companies Act, 2013.

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

(a) Basis of preparation

These standalone financial statements have been
prepared and presented under the historical cost
convention, on the accrual basis of accounting
except for certain financial assets and financial
liabilities that are measured at fair value at the
end of each reporting period, as stated in the
accounting policies set out below.

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, regardless of whether
that price is directly observable or estimated using
another valuation technique. In estimating the
fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company
takes into account the characteristics of the asset
or liability if market participants would take those
characteristics into account when pricing the asset
or liability at the measurement date.

The Standalone financial statements are
presented in Indian rupees INR, million, unless
otherwise stated, 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'').

Transactions and balances with values below the
rounding off norm adopted by the Company have
been reflected as "0" in the relevant notes in these
standalone financial statements.

Going concern

The directors have, at the time of approving the
standalone financial statements, a reasonable
expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the Standalone Financial Statements.

(b) Standards issued but not yet effective

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifies
new standard or amendments to the existing
standards. There is amendment to Ind AS 21
"Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"
such amendments would have been applicable
from 01 April 2025.

The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
specify how an entity should assess whether
a currency is exchangeable and how it should
determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability
is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure
of information that enables users of its financial
statements to understand how the currency not being
exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is
expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance,
financial position and cash flows.

The amendment is effective for the period on or after
01 April 2025. When applying the amendments, an
entity cannot restate comparative information.

The Company has reviewed the new
pronouncement and based on its evaluation has
determined that these amendments do not have a
significant impact on the Company''s Standalone
Financial Statements.

(c) Standards issued/amended and became effective

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified new
standards or amendment to existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules as issued from time to time. The Company
applied following amendments for the first¬
time during the current year which are effective
from 1 April 2024:

Amendments to Ind AS 116 - Lease liability in a
sale and leaseback

The amendments require an entity to recognise
lease liability including variable lease payments
which are not linked to index or a rate in a way
it does not result into gain on Right of Use
asset it retains.

The amendments had no impact on the Company''s
standalone financial statements.

Introduction of Ind AS 117

MCA notified Ind AS 117, a comprehensive
standard that prescribe, recognition, measurement
and disclosure requirements, to avoid diversities
in practice for accounting insurance contracts and
it applies to all companies i.e., to all "insurance
contracts" regardless of the issuer. However, Ind
AS 117 is not applicable to the entities which are
insurance companies registered with IRDAI.

The amendments had no impact on the Company''s
standalone financial statements.

(d) Current/ Non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in
the Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current
classification.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to 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 current when:

- 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.

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

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

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and initial measurement:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of
acquisition or construction. Following initial recognition,
property plant and equipment are carried at cost
less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase
price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met
and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to
its working condition for the intended use. Any trade
discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the
purchase price.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s
carrying amount 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 entity and the cost can be measured reliably. All

other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful
lives):

Depreciation on items of property, plant and equipment
is provided on the straight-line method, based on the
management''s estimates of useful lives of the assets,
which is similar to the useful life prescribed under
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013:

Depreciation on tangible PPE for the following
categories of assets has not been provided in
accordance with useful life prescribed in Schedule II to
the Act, in whose case the life of the assets has been
assessed as under based on technical assessment,
taking into account the nature of the asset, the
estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions
of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated
technological changes, manufacturers warranties and
maintenance support, etc.:

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

Depreciation on additions/ (disposals) is provided on a
pro-rata basis i.e. from / (upto) the date on which asset
is ready for use/ (disposed of).

The useful lives, residual values of each part of an item
of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation
methods are reviewed at the end of each financial
year. If any of these expectations differ from previous
estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in
an accounting estimate.

Derecognition:

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant
and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its
use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the

derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
item and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss when the item is derecognised.

Capital work in progress and capital advances:

Expenditure incurred during the period of construction,
including all direct and indirect expenses, incidental and
related to construction, is carried forward and on completion,
the costs are allocated to the respective property, plant and
equipment. Capital work-in-progress also includes assets
pending installation and not available for intended use.

2.4 Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at
cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses, if any. 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), and any directly attributable
expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended
use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.

The intangible assets are amortised over their
respective individual estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis, commencing from the date the
asset is available to the Company for its use. The
amortisation period is reviewed at the end of each
financial year and the amortisation method is revised
to reflect the changed pattern.

Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset
after its purchase / completion is recognised as an
expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future
economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed
standards of performance and such expenditure can be
measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which
case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.

Intangible assets under development

Cost of intangible assets not ready for intended use,
as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as Intangible
assets under development.

Derecognition of intangible assets:

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when
no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. 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 or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets:

Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets
are as follows:

- Computer software - 3 Years

- Design and prototypes - 1 to 3 Years

2.5 Impairment of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews
the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if
any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which
the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis
of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise
they are allocated to the smallest Company of cash¬
generating units for which a reasonable and consistent
allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less
costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 which the
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash¬
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash¬
generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the
Statement of profit and loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the
carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit)
is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable
amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognized
for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized
immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

Impairment of non-financial assets

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
largely independent cash inflows (cash generating

units). As a result, some assets are tested individually
for impairment and some are tested at cash¬
generating unit level.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date
whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company
estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such
recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset
belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The
reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If at
the Balance Sheet date, there is an indication that a
previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists
then the recoverable amount is reassessed, and the
asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to
a maximum of depreciated historical cost. Impairment
losses previously recognised are accordingly reversed
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

To determine value-in-use, management estimates
expected future cash flows from each cash generating
unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order
to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
The data used for impairment testing procedures are
directly linked to the Company''s latest approved budget,
adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future re¬
organisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors
are determined individually for each cash-generating
unit and reflect current market assessment of the time
value of money and asset-specific risk factors.

2.6 Leases

The Company considers whether a contract is, or
contains, a lease. 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.

The Company as a lessee

The Company''s lease asset classes 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 Lease Contract involves the use of an
identified asset;

(ii) The Company has the right to obtain substantially
all of the economic benefits from use of the asset
throughout the period of lease; and

(iii) The Company has the right to direct the
use of the asset.

The Company at the commencement of the lease
contract recognizes a right-of-use asset at cost and
corresponding lease liability, except for leases with
term of less than twelve months (short term leases) and
lowvalue assets. For these short term and low value
leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments
as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.

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

The cost of right-of-use asset comprises the amount
of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any
lease payments made at or before the inception date
of the lease, plus any initial direct costs, less any lease
incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use
assets are measured at cost less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The right-
of-use asset are depreciated using the straight-line
method from the commencement date over the shorter
of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.

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 re¬
measured with a corresponding adjustment to the
related right of use asset if the Company changes its
assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a
termination option.

1.7 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost on weighted
average basis and estimated net realisable value (net
of allowances) after providing for obsolescence and
other losses, where considered necessary. The cost
comprises of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and
other costs including appropriate production overheads
in the case of finished goods and work-in-progress,
incurred in bringing such inventories to their present
location and condition. Trade discounts or rebates are
deducted in determining the costs of purchase. Net

realisable value represents the estimated selling price
for inventories less all estimated costs of completion
and costs necessary to make the sales.

Due allowance is estimated and made by the
Management for slow moving/ non-moving items
of inventory, wherever necessary, based on the past
experience and such allowances are adjusted against
the carrying inventory value.

Stock in transit is valued at lower of cost and net
realisable value.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand
deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short¬
term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into
known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.

(b) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit / (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.

2.9 Foreign currency transactions and translations

(a) Initial recognition

In preparing the standalone financial statements,
transactions in currencies other than the entity''s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are
recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at
the dates of the transactions or an average rate if
the average rate approximates the actual rate at
the date of the transaction.

(b) Measurement at the reporting date

At the end of each reporting period, monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into the functional
currency at the exchange rate. Non-monetary
items that are measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates
at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation differences on assets and liabilities
carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair
value gain or loss.

(c) Treatment of exchange difference

Exchange differences arising on settlement
/ restatement of short-term foreign currency
monetary assets and liabilities of the Company
are recognized as income or expense in the
standalone statement of profit and loss.

2.10 Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized
on transfer of control of promised goods or services to
a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company is expected to be entitled to in
exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation
is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of
variable consideration) allocated to that performance
obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and
services rendered is net of variable consideration on
account of various discounts and rebates offered by
the Company as part of the contract. This variable
consideration is estimated based on the expected value
of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is
recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable
that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal
when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

(a) Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when
the control on the goods have been transferred to
the customer. The performance obligation in case
of sale of product is satisfied at a point in time i.e.,
when the material is shipped to the customer or on
delivery to the customer, the risks of obsolescence
and loss have been transferred to the customer, and
either the customer has accepted the products in
accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance
provisions have lapsed, or the Company has
objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance
have been satisfied. Revenue from the sale of goods
is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, net of returns and allowances,
trade discounts and volume rebates.

Advance from customers and deferred revenue
is recognized under other current liabilities
which is released to revenue on satisfaction of
performance obligation.

(b) Rendering of services

Income from service activities are recognized over
a period on satisfaction of performance obligation
towards rendering of such services in accordance
with the terms of arrangement.

(c) Tooling charges

Tooling charges received from customers in
advance is recognised based on completion of
the project and the number of units sold to the
customer during the respective year. The same
is recognised at a point in time or over a period
of time depending on the terms of arrangement /
contract with the customer and the corresponding
satisfaction of performance obligation.

(d) Production linked incentive income

The Company received production linked
incentive approval from the Department of
Telecommunication at a pre-approved percentage
of the net incremental revenue at every year end.
The Company files claims for production linked
incentive on an annual basis. The Company has
recognised the income on an accrual basis once
all the pre-conditions set by the government
authorities have been met. Based on historical
trend of the production linked incentive income
being received and no significant adjustments to
the production linked incentive claim being made
by the authorities, the Company believes that it is
highly probable that the claims will be realised.

2.11 Other income

(a) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is
recognized when it is probable that the economic
benefit will flow to the Company and the amount
of income can be measured reliably. Interest
income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to
the principal outstanding and the effective interest
rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial assets to the
asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to
receive the income is established.

The Company also recognises Deemed Dividend
for the Stock options issued by the subsidiary to
the employees of the Company (refer note 2.12 (e)).

(c) Rental income

Lease income from operating leases where the
Group is lessor is recognized as income on straight
line basis over the lease term unless the receipts
are structured to increase in line with expected
general inflation to compensate for the expected

inflationary cost increases. The respective leased
assets are included in the balance sheet based
on their nature.

2.12 Employee benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are
measured on an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is provided. A
liability is recognised for the amount expected
to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if
the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee, and the amount
of obligation can be estimated reliably.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Provident fund / employee state insurance :

The Company makes specified contributions
towards Employees'' Provident Fund and Employee
State Insurance maintained by the Central
Government and the Company''s contribution are
recognized as an expense in the period in which
the services are rendered by the employees.

Superannuation fund:

The Company contributes a specified percentage
of eligible employees'' salary to a superannuation
fund administered by trustees and managed by
the insurer. The Company has no liability for future
superannuation benefits other than its annual
contribution and recognizes such contributions as
an expense in the period in which the services are
rendered by the employees.

Labour welfare fund:

The Company makes specified contributions
towards Labour Welfare fund maintained by the
State labour Welfare Boards and the Company''s
contribution are recognized as an expense in
the period in which the services are rendered
by the employees.

National pension scheme:

The Company contributes a specified percentage
of the eligible employees salary to the National
Pension Scheme of the Central Government.
The Company has no liability for future pension
benefits and the Company''s contribution to
the scheme are recognized as an expense in
the period in which the services are rendered
by the employees.

(c) Defined benefit plans

The Company operates a gratuity plan wherein
every employee is entitled to the benefit
equivalent to 15 days basic salary last drawn for
each completed year of service as per the payment
of Gratuity Act, 1972.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment
benefit plan other than a defined contribution
plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of
defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating
the amount of future benefit that employees
have earned in the current and prior periods and
discounting that amount.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is
performed annually by a qualified actuary using
the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurements of the net defined benefit
liability, which comprise actuarial gains and
losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income (OCI). The Company determines the net
interest expense (income) on the net defined
benefit liability for the period by applying the
discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation at the beginning of the annual period
to the then- net defined benefit liability, taking
into account any changes in the net defined
benefit liability during the period as a result of
contributions and benefit payments. Net interest
expense and other expenses related to defined
benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or
when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in
benefit that relates to past service (''past service
cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on
curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or
loss. The Company recognises gains and losses
on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when
the settlement occurs.

The obligation is measured at the present value
of estimated future cash flows. The discount
rates used for determining the present value of
obligation under defined benefit plans, are based
on the market yields on Government securities as
at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods
approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Annual contributions are made to the employee''s
gratuity fund, established with the Insurer (Plan
asset) every year. The fair value of plan assets

is reduced from the gross obligation under
the defined benefit plans, to recognise the
obligation on net basis.

(d) Other long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences

The employees of the Company can carry-forward
a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated
absences and utilise it in future service periods
or receive cash compensation on termination of
employment. Since, the compensated absences do
not fall due wholly within twelve months after the
end of the period in which the employees render
the related service and are also not expected to
be utilized wholly within twelve months after the
end of such period, the benefit is classified as a
long-term provision. The Company records an
obligation for such compensated absences in the
period in which the employee renders the services
that increase this entitlement. The obligation is
measured on the basis of independent actuarial
valuation using the projected unit credit method.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit
or loss in the period in which they arise.

(e) Employee share based payments

Employees of the Company receive remuneration
in the form of share-based payments, whereby
employees render services as consideration for
equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions:

he cost of equity-settled transactions is determined
by the fair value at the date when the grant is
made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a
corresponding increase in share-based payment
(SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which
the performance and/or service conditions are
fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The
cumulative expense recognised for equity-
settled transactions at each reporting date until
the vesting date reflects the extent to which the
vesting period has expired and The Company''s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will ultimately vest. The Statement of profit
and loss expense or credit for a period represents
the movement in cumulative expense recognised
as at the beginning and end of that period and is
recognised in employee benefits expense service
and non-market performance conditions are not

taken into account when determining the grant
date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the
conditions being met is assessed as part of the
Company''s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. Market
performance conditions are reflected within
the grant date fair value. Any other conditions
attached to an award, but without an associated
service requirement, are considered to be non¬
vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are
reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to
an immediate expensing of an award unless there
are also service and/or performance conditions.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not
ultimately vest because non-market performance
and/or service conditions have not been met. Where
awards include a market or non-vesting condition,
the transactions are treated as vested irrespective
of whether the market or non-vesting condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance and/
or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are
modified, the minimum expense recognised
is the expense had the terms had not been
modified, if the original terms of the award are
met. An additional expense is recognised for any
modification that increases the total fair value
of the share-based payment transaction, or is
otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured
at the date of modification. Where an award is
cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any
remaining element of the fair value of the award is
expensed immediately through profit or loss.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is
reflected as additional share dilution in the
computation of diluted earnings per share.

Stock option granted to the employees of the
subsidiaries:

The Company has issued Stock options to
the employees of the Subsidiary Company.
Consquently, the Company has accounted stock
option expense as cost of investment with a
corresponding increase to the Employee Stock
Option Reserve.The employee stock option plan
(''ESOP'') expense relating to the employees of
the Subsidiary Company are recognised in the
Employee Benefit expense of the Subsidiary
Company, and correspondingly a deemed equity
contribution is accounted as part of Other equity.

Stock options granted by the subsidiary to the
employees of the Company:

The Subsidiary of the Company has granted
ESOP''s to the employees of the Company.
Consequently, the expense relating to the stock
options issues by subsidiary are recognized as
an expense in the Employee Benefit expense
and correspondingly deemed dividend income is
accounted as part of Other Income.

Accounting for the Stock option plan administered
through the Syrma SGS Employee Welfare trust
("Syrma Trust"):

The accounting of Syrma SGS Employees
Welfare Trust ("Syrma Trust") has been done
in the Standalone Financial statements of the
Holding Company as the Trust is administering
the ESOP plan on behalf of the Company. (Refer
Note 18 & 42.6)

2.1 Statement of compliance

The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP comprises of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as specified in Sec 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read together with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 ("the Rules") and the relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, pronouncements of regulatory bodies applicable to the Company and other provisions of the Act.

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

(a) Accounting convention and assumptions

These standalone financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as stated in the accounting policies set out below.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the

fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Going concern

The directors have, at the time of approving the standalone financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Standalone Financial Statements.

(b) Basis of presentation

The Standalone Balance sheet, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity, are presented in the format prescribed under Division II of Schedule III of the Act, as amended from time to time read along with the Guidance Note on Division II - Ind AS Schedule III to the Act issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) ["the Guidance Note"], for Companies that are required to comply with Ind AS. The Standalone Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 -Statement of Cash Flows.

The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (INR), 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'').

Transactions and balances with values below the rounding off norm adopted by the Company have been reflected as "0" in the relevant notes in these standalone financial statements.

(c) Current / Non-current classification

Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:

i. the asset / liability is expected to be realized / settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

ii. the asset is intended for sale or consumption;

iii. the asset / liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

iv. the asset / liability is expected to be realized / settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

v. the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date;

vi. in the case of a liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

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

2.3 Property, plant and equipment Measurement at recognition:

An item of property, plant and equipment (PPE) that qualifies as an asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, items of property, plant and equipment are carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The Company identifies and determines cost of each part of an item of property, pl an t and equipmen t separately, if the part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of that item of property, plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining item.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises of its purchase price including import duties and other non-refundable purchase taxes or levies, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and the initial estimate of decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities, if any. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Cost includes cost of replacing a part of a plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. Expenses directly attributable to new manufacturing facility during its construction period are capitalized if the recognition criteria are met. Expenditure related to plans, designs and drawings of buildings or plant and machinery is capitalized under relevant heads of property, plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant

and equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life.

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.Costs in nature of repairs and maintenance are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

Capital work in progress and Capital advances:

Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work in progress. Advances given towards acquisition of PPE and intangible assets outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Capital Advance under Other Non-current assets.

Depreciation

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

Depreciation on tangible PPE has been provided on the straight-line method pro-rata to the period of use of the assets. The management estimates the useful life of certain asset categories as follows, which is as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act.

Asset Category	Useful life (Years)
Buildings	30 Years
Plant and Machinery	15 Years
Furniture and Fittings	10 Years
Office and Other Equipment	5 Years
Computer & other peripherals	3 Years to 6 Years

Depreciation on tangible PPE for the following categories of assets has not been provided in accordance with useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:

Asset category	Useful life (Years)
Stencils	3 Years
Electrical equipment	20 Years
Vehicles	4 Years

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

Depreciation on additions/ (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from / (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use/ (disposed of).

The useful lives, residual values of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

Derecognition:

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the item is derecognised.

2.4 Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. 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), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.

The intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. The amortisation period is reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.

Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.

Intangible assets under development

Cost of intangible assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as Intangible assets under development.

Derecognition of intangible assets:

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. 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 or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets:

Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:

- Computer Software - 3 Years

- Design and Prototypes - 4 Years

2.5 Impairment of PPE & intangible Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Company of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

2.6 Leases

(a) At inception of a Lease Contract, the Company assesses whether a Lease Contract is, or contains, a lease. A Lease Contract is, or contains, a lease if the Lease 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 Lease Contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

- the Lease Contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

- the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

- the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

a) the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

b) the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a Lease Contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the Lease Contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company''s estimate of the

amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in Statement of profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

(b) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense over the lease term.

2.7 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost on weighted average basis and estimated net realisable value (net of allowances) after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. The cost comprises of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs including appropriate production overheads in the case of finished goods and work-in-progress, incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. Trade discounts or rebates are deducted in determining the costs of purchase. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sales.

Due allowance is estimated and made by the Management for slow moving / non-moving items of inventory, wherever necessary, based on the past experience and such allowances are adjusted against the carrying inventory value.

2.8 Cash & cash equivalents

(a) Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of cash flow statement)

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are shortterm balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

(b) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (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.

2.9 Foreign currency transactions and translations

(a) Initial recognition

In preparing the standalone financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

(b) Measurement at the reporting date

At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

2.10 Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized on transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and rebates offered by the Company as part of the contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

(a) Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the control on the goods have been transferred to the customer. The performance obligation in case of sale of product is satisfied at a point

in time i.e., when the material is shipped to the customer or on delivery to the customer, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Advance from customers and Deferred revenue is recognized under other current liabilities which is released to revenue on satisfaction of performance obligation.

(b) Rendering of services:

Income from service activities are recognized over a period on satisfaction of performance obligation towards rendering of such services in accordance with the terms of arrangement.

(c) Tooling charges

Tooling charges received from customers in advance is recognised based on completion of the project and the number of units sold to the customer during the respective year. The same is recognised at a point in time or over a period of time depending on the terms of arrangement / contract with the customer and the corresponding satisfaction of performance obligation.

2.11 Other income

(a) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to the asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the income is established.

(c) Rental Income

Lease Income from operating leases where the Group is lessor is recognized as income on straight

line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

2.12 Employee benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Provident fund / Employee state insurance :

The Company makes specified contributions towards Employees'' Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance maintained by the Central Government and the Company''s contribution are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

Superannuation fund:

The Company contributes a specified percentage of eligible employees'' salary to a superannuation fund administered by trustees and managed by the insurer. The Company has no liability for future superannuation benefits other than its annual contribution and recognizes such contributions as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

National pension scheme:

The Company contributes a specified percentage of the eligible employees salary to the National Pension Scheme of the Central Government. The Company has no liability for future pension benefits and the Company''s contribution to the scheme are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

(c) Defined benefit plans

The Company operates a gratuity plan wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to 15 days basic salary last drawn for each completed year of service as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods and discounting that amount.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then- net defined benefit liability, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Annual contributions are made to the employee’s gratuity fund, established with the Insurer (Plan asset) every year. The fair value of plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.

(d) Other long-term employee benefits Compensated absences

The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since, the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a longterm employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(e) Employee share based payments

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions:

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and The Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of The Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be nonvesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are

reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.

Stock options issued to the employees of the Subsidiary are included as cost of investment.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/ or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The accounting of Syrma SGS Employees Welfare Trust ("the Trust") has been done in the Standalone Financial statements of the Company as the Trust is administering the ESOP plan on behalf of the Company. (Refer note 41.6)

2.13 Provisions

Provisions are recognised, when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

2.14 Product warranty cost

The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product failures. The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty claim will arise, being typically up to three years.

The estimates used for accounting of warranty liability / recoveries are reviewed periodically and revisions are made as required.

2.15 Contingent liability and contingent assets

(a) Contingent liability is disclosed for

(i) A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or

(ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

(b) Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.

2.16 Taxes on income

The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

(a) Current tax

Income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The Company periodically evaluates

positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investment in associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investment is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability

is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when 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 the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

For transactions and other events recognised in profit or loss, any related tax effect is also recognised in profit or loss. For transactions and events recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), any related tax effects are also recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively).

(c) Current tax and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

2.17 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized

when the Company becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instruments.

(a) Initial recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent measurement (i) Financial assets

All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets, except for investments forming part of interest in subsidiaries / associates, which are measured at cost.

Classification of financial assets

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

a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through Statement of profit or loss), and

b) those measured at amortized cost

The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

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. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in Statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified

from equity to Statement of profit or loss and recognized in other income / (expense).

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Expected credit loss (ECL) 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 entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls).

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are measured at amortised cost e.g., cash and bank balances, investment in equity instruments of subsidiary companies, trade receivables and loans etc.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost is credit-impaired. A financial asset is ''credit-impaired'' when one or more events that have detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have occurred.

Evidence that the financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

- the breach of contract such as a default or being past due as per the ageing brackets;

- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

- the disappearance of active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on 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.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as expense/income in the statement of profit and loss. ECL for financial assets measured as at amortized cost and contractual revenue receivables is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the standalone financial statements. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

Write off policy

The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Any recoveries made are recognised in Statement of profit or loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments: Classification as equity or financial liability

Equity and Debt instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial

liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the ''Finance costs'' line item.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Liabilities that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

(c) Derecognition

(i) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset. Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.

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 derecognised.

(ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Statement of profit or loss.

The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.

(d) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(e) Measurement of fair values

A number of the accounting policies and disclosures require measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has an established internal control framework with respect to the measurement

of fair values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the chief financial officer.

The finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, is used to measure fair values, then the finance team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values used in preparing these financial statements is included in the respective notes.

2.18 Equity investments in subsidiaries/associate

Investment in subsidiaries/associate are carried at cost in the standalone financial statements.

2.19 Investment in mutual funds

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as noncurrent investments.

Investment in mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Net gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.

2.20 Contingent Consideration

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within

the scope of Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss in accordance with Ind AS 109. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of Ind AS 109, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate Ind AS and shall be recognised in profit or loss.

2.21 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of exceptional items, if any) for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of exceptional items, if any) for the year attributable to equity shareholders as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.22 Segment reporting

Operating segments reflect the Company''s management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Statement of compliance

The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP comprises of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as specified in Sec 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read together with Rule

3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 ("the Rules") and the relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, pronouncements of regulatory bodies applicable to the Company and other provisions of the Act.

2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

(a) Accounting convention and assumptions

These standalone financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as stated in the accounting policies set out below.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account

the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Going concern

The directors have, at the time of approving the standalone financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Standalone Financial Statements.

(b) Basis of presentation

The Standalone Balance sheet, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity, are presented in the format prescribed under Division II of Schedule III of the Act, as amended from time to time, for Companies that are required to comply with Ind AS. The Standalone Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 -Statement of Cash Flows.

The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (INR), 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'').

Transactions and balances with values below the rounding off norm adopted by the Company have been reflected as "0" in the relevant notes in these standalone financial statements.

() Current / Non-current classification

Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:

i. the asset / liability is expected to be realized / settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

ii. the asset is intended for sale or consumption;

iii. the asset / liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

iv. the asset / liability is expected to be realized / settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

v. the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date;

vi. in the case of a Liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

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

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

Measurement at recognition:

An item of property, plant and equipment (PPE) that qualifies as an asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, items of property, plant and equipment are carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The Company identifies and determines cost of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment separately, if the part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of that item of property, plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining item.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises of its purchase price including import duties and other non-refundable purchase taxes or levies, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and the initial estimate of decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities, if any. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Cost includes cost of replacing a part of a plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. Expenses directly attributable to new manufacturing facility during its construction period are capitalized if the recognition criteria are met. Expenditure related to plans, designs and drawings of buildings or plant and machinery is capitalized under relevant heads of property, plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life.

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.

Costs in nature of repairs and maintenance are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

Capital work in progress and Capital advances:

Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as capital work in progress. Advances given towards acquisition of PPE and intangible assets

outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Capital Advance under Other Non-current assets.

Depreciation

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

Depreciation on tangible PPE has has been provided on the straight-line method pro-rata to the period of use of the assets. The management estimates the useful life of certain asset catagories as follows, which is as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Asset Category	| |Useful life (Years)
Buildings	30 Years
Plant and Machinery	15 Years
Furniture and Fittings	10 Years
Office and Other Equipment	5 Years
Computer & other peripherals	3 Years to 6 Years
Vehicles	8 Years

Depreciation and amortization on tangible PPE and intangible assets for the following categories of assets has not been provided in accordance with useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:

Asset Category	Useful life (Years)
Stencils	3 Years
Electrical equipment	20 Years

The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used. Depreciation on additions/ (disposals) is provided on a prorata basis i.e. from / (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use/ (disposed of).

The useful lives, residual values of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

Derecognition:

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is measured as the difference

between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the item is derecognised.

2.4 Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. 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), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.

The intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. The amortisation period is reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.

Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.

Intangible assets under development

Cost of intangible assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as Intangible assets under development.

Derecognition of intangible assets:

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. 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 or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets:

Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:

- Computer Software - 3 Years

- Knowhow - 6 Years

2.5 Impairment of PPE & intangible Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets

have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Company of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

2.6 Leases

(a) Policy applicable for Lease Contracts entered on or after 1 April 2019

At inception of a Lease Contract, the Company assesses whether a Lease Contract is, or contains, a lease. A Lease Contract is, or contains, a lease if the Lease 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 Lease Contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

- the Lease Contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

- the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

- the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

a) the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

b) the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

This policy is applied to Lease Contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 April 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a Lease Contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the Lease Contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company''s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in Statement of profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

(b) Policy applicable for contracts entered before 1 April 2019

For contracts entered into before 1 April 2019, the Company determined whether the arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether:

- fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and

- the arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset. An arrangement conveyed the right to use the asset if one of the following was met

- the purchaser had the ability or right to operate the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output;

- the purchaser had the ability or right to control physical access to the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output; or

- facts and circumstances indicated that it was remote that other parties would take more than an insignificant amount of the output, and the price per unit was neither fixed per unit of output nor equal to the current market price per unit of output.

() Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense over the lease term.

2.7 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost on weighted average basis and estimated net realisable value (net of allowances) after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. The cost comprises of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs including appropriate production overheads in the case of finished goods and work-in-progress, incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. Trade discounts or rebates are deducted in determining the costs of purchase. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sales.

Due allowance is estimated and made by the Management for slow moving / non-moving items of inventory, wherever necessary, based on the past experience and such allowances are adjusted against the carrying inventory value.

2.8 Cash & cash equivalents

(a) Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of cash flow statement)

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

(b) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (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.

2.9 Foreign currency transactions and translations

(a) Initial recognition

In preparing the standalone financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

(b) Measurement at the reporting date

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

2.10 Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized on transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and rebates offered by the Company as part of the contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

(a) Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the control on the goods have been transferred to the customer. The performance obligation in case of sale of product is satisfied at a point in time i.e., when the material is shipped to the customer or on delivery to the customer, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Revenue from the sate of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Advance from customers and Deferred revenue is recognized under other current liabilities which is released to revenue on satisfaction of performance obligation.

(b) Rendering of services:

Income from service activities are recognized over a period on satisfaction of performance obligation towards rendering of such services in accordance with the terms of arrangement.

(c) Tooling charges

Tooling charges received from customers in advance is recognised based on completion of the project and the number of units sold to the customer during the respective year. The same is recognised at a point in time or over a period of time depending on the terms of arrangement / contract with the customer and the corresponding satisfaction of performance obligation.

2.11 Other income

(a) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to the asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the income is established.

2.12 Employee benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under shortterm cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Provident fund / Employee state insurance :

The Company makes specified contributions towards Employees'' Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance maintained by the Central Government and the Company''s contribution are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

Superannuation fund:

The Company contributes a specified percentage of eligible employees'' salary to a superannuation fund administered by trustees and managed by the insurer. The Company has no liability for future superannuation benefits other than its annual contribution and recognizes such contributions as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

National pension scheme:

The Company contributes a specified percentage of the eligible employees salary to the National Pension Scheme of the Central Government. The Company has no liability for future pension benefits and the Company''s contribution to the scheme are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employees.

() Defined benefit plans

The Company operates a gratuity plan wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to 15 days basic salary last drawn for each completed year of service as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods and discounting that amount.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of

the annual period to the then- net defined benefit Liability, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Annual contributions are made to the employee''s gratuity fund, established with the Insurer (Plan asset) every year. The fair value of plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.

(d) Other long-term employee benefits Compensated absences

The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since, the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(e) Employee share based payments

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions:

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and The Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of The Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.

Stock options issued to the employees of the Subsidiary are included as cost of investment.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

2.13 Provisions

Provisions are recognised, when the Company has a

present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of

a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

2.14 Product warranty cost

The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product failures. The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty claim will arise, being typically up to three years.

The estimates used for accounting of warranty liability / recoveries are reviewed periodically and revisions are made as required.

2.15 Contingent liability and contingent assets

Contingent liability is disclosed for

(a) A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or

(b) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

(c) Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.

2.16 Taxes on income

The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

(a) Current tax

Income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The Company periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investment in associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investment is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability

is settled or the asset is realised based on tax Laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when 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 the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet when it is highly probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company. The carrying amount is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

() Current tax and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

2.17 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized

when the Company becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instruments.

(a) Initial recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent measurement (i) Financial assets

All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets, except for investments forming part of interest in subsidiaries / associates, which are measured at cost.

Classification of financial assets

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

a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through Statement of profit or loss), and

b) those measured at amortized cost

The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

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. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in Statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement of profit or loss and recognized in other income / (expense).

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Expected credit loss (ECL) 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 entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls).

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are measured at amortised cost e.g., cash and bank balances, investment in equity instruments of subsidiary companies, trade receivables and loans etc.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost is credit-impaired. A financial asset is ''credit-impaired'' when one or more events that have detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have occurred.

Evidence that the financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

- the breach of contract such as a default or being past due as per the ageing brackets;

- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-organisation; or

- the disappearance of active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on 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.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as expense/income in the statement of profit and loss. ECL for financial assets measured as at amortized cost and contractual revenue receivables is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the standalone financial statements. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

Write off policy

The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Any recoveries made are recognised in Statement of profit or loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments:

Classification as equity or financial liability

Equity and Debt instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the ''Finance costs'' line item.

Financial Liabilities at FVTPL

Liabilities that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on these assets that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

() Derecognition

(i) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset. Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.

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 derecognised.

(ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Statement of profit or loss.

The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.

(d) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(e) Measurement of fair values

A number of the accounting policies and disclosures require measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has an established internal control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the chief financial officer.

The finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, is used to measure fair values, then the finance team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values used in preparing these financial statements is included in the respective notes.

2.18 Equity investments in subsidiaries/associate

Investment in subsidiaries/associate are carried at cost in the standalone financial statements.

2.19 Investment in debentures/bonds, mutual funds & private equity

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments.

Investments in debentures or bonds are measured at amotised cost at carrying value representative of fair value. These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest income, foreign exchange gain and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment in mutual funds, specific bonds (marked linked) and structured product/ private equity (i.e.; unquoted investments) are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Net gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.

2.20 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of exceptional items, if any) for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of exceptional items, if any) for the year attributable to equity shareholders as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.21 Segment reporting

Operating segments reflect the Company''s management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / (lo
