o. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofpast event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. When theCompany expects some or all of a provision to bereimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract,the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset,but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.The expense relating to a provision is presented in thestatement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to theliability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognized as ainterest expense.
Onerous Contracts
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, thepresent obligation under the contract is recognizedand measured as a provision. However, beforea separate provision for an onerous contract isestablished, the Company recognizes any impairmentloss that has occurred on assets dedicated to thatcontract. An onerous contract is a contract underwhich the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that theCompany cannot avoid because it has the contract)of meeting the obligations under the contract exceedthe economic benefits expected to be received underit. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect theleast net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the
lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensationor penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The cost offulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relatedirectly to the contract (i.e., both incremental costsand an allocation of costs directly related to contractactivities)
Warranty provisions
The Company provides warranties for general repairsof defects that existed at the time of sale, as requiredby law. Provisions related to these assurance-typewarranties are recognized when the product is sold,or the service is provided to the customer. Initialrecognition is based on historical experience. The initialestimate of warranty-related costs is revised annuallyRestructuring provisions
Restructuring provisions are recognized only whenthe Company has a constructive obligation, which iswhen: (i) a detailed formal plan identifies the businessor part of the business concerned, the location andnumber of employees affected, a detailed estimateof the associated costs, and the timeline; and (ii) theemployees affected have been notified of the plan'smain features
p. Investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointventure
Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventureis carried at cost less impairment. Refer note (n) abovefor impairment of non-financial assets.
q. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events beyond the control of theCompany or a present obligation that is not recognizedbecause it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation. A contingentliability also arises in extremely rare cases where thereis a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannotbe measured reliably. The Company does not recognizea contingent liability but discloses its existence in thefinancial statements.
r. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheetcomprise cash at bank and on hand and short-terminvestments with an original maturity of three monthsor less which are subject to an insignificant risk ofchanges in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows,cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bankbalances and short-term deposits, as defined above,net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any, as they areconsidered an integral part of the Company's cashmanagement.
s. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a mannerconsistent with the internal reporting provided tothe chief operating decision maker ('CODM'). Theexecutive directors are the chief operating decisionmaker of the Company, who assess the financialposition, performance and make strategic decisionsThe Company identifies reportable segments basedon the dominant source, nature of risks and returnand the internal organization and managementstructure for which discrete financial information isavailable. Revenue and expenses have been identifiedto segments on the basis of their relationship to theoperating activities of the segment. Inter-segmentrevenue have been accounted for based on thetransaction price agreed to between segments which isprimarily market based. Revenue and expenses, whichrelate to the Company as a whole and are not allocableto segments on a reasonable basis, have been includedunder “Unallocated corporate expenses/ income”
t. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss for the year attributable to equityshareholders by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equityshares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to theextent that they are entitled to participate in dividendsrelative to a fully paid equity share during the reportingperiod. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period is adjusted for eventssuch as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue,share split, and reverse share split (consolidationof shares) that have changed the number of equityshares outstanding, without a corresponding change inresources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings pershare, the net profit or loss for the period attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average numberof shares outstanding during the period are adjusted forthe effects of all potential dilutive equity shares.
u. Dividend
The Company recognizes a liability to pay final dividendto equity holders when the distribution is authorized,and the distribution is no longer at the discretion ofthe Company. As per the corporate laws in India, adistribution is authorized when it is approved by theshareholders. A corresponding amount is recognizeddirectly in equity. The Company recognizes a liability topay interim dividends to equity holders on the date ofdeclaration by the Company's Board of Directors
v. Non-current assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets as heldfor sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered
principally through a sale rather than through continuinguse.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale aremeasured at the lower of their carrying amount and fairvalue less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incrementalcosts directly attributable to the disposal of an asset,excluding finance costs and income tax expense.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regardedmet only when the assets are available for immediatesale in its present condition, subject only to terms thatare usual and customary for sales of such assets, itssale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, notabandoned. The Company treats sale of the asset to behighly probable when:
• The appropriate level of management iscommitted to a plan to sell the asset,
• An active programme to locate a buyer andcomplete the plan has been initiated (ifapplicable),
• The asset is being actively marketed for sale at aprice that is reasonable in relation to its currentfair value,
• The sale is expected to qualify for recognition asa completed sale within one year from the date ofclassification, and
• Actions required to complete the plan indicate thatit is unlikely that significant changes to the planwill be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale arepresented separately from other items in the balancesheet.
2.3 Changes in accounting policies and disclosuresNew and amended standards
The Company applied for the first-time certain standardsand amendments, which are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after April 01, 2025. The Company has notearly adopted any standard, interpretation or amendmentthat has been issued but is not yet effective.
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeabilityThe Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifiedthe Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Amendment Rules, 2025, which amend Ind AS 21,The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Ratesto specify how an entity should assess whether acurrency is exchangeable and how it should determinea spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking.The amendments also require disclosure of informationthat enables users of its financial statements tounderstand how the currency not being exchangeableinto the other currency affects, or is expected to affect,the entity's financial performance, financial positionand cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reportingperiods beginning on or after April 01, 2025.When applying the amendments, an entity cannotrestate comparative information.
The amendments do not have a material impact on theCompany's financial statements.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification ofLiabilities as Current or Non-current and Non¬current Liabilities with Covenants
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendmentsto paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify therequirements for classifying liabilities as current or non¬current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of thereporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihoodthat an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in aconvertible liability is itself an equity instrumentwould the terms of a liability not impact itsclassification
In addition, a requirement has been introduced torequire disclosure when a liability arising from a loanagreement is classified as non-current and the entity'sright to defer settlement is contingent on compliancewith future covenants within twelve months.
If there is a breach of a material covenant of a long termloan arrangement on or before the end of the reportingperiod, resulting in the liability becoming payable ondemand as at the reporting date, and the lender agrees—after the reporting period but before the financialstatements are approved for issue—not to demandrepayment for at least 12 months as a consequence ofthe breach, this shall be treated as an adjusting event.Accordingly, the entity is not required to classify theliability as current.
The amendments are effective for annual reportingperiods beginning on or after April 01, 2025retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The amendments have not had an impact on theclassification of Company's liabilities.
(iii) Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - SupplierFinance Arrangements
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to IndAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 FinancialInstruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristicsof supplier finance arrangements and require additionaldisclosure of such arrangements. The disclosurerequirements in the amendments are intended to assistusers of financial statements in understanding theeffects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity'sliabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
As a result of implementing the amendments, theCompany has provided additional disclosures aboutits supplier finance arrangement. Please refer to Note14(c).
(iv) International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules- Amendments to Ind AS 12
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to IndAS 12 Income Taxes in response to the OECD's BEPSPillar Two rules and include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to therecognition and disclosure of deferred taxesarising from the jurisdictional implementation ofthe Pillar Two model rules; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entitiesto help users of the financial statements betterunderstand an entity's exposure to Pillar Twoincome taxes arising from that legislation,particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - the use of whichis required to be disclosed - applies immediately. Theremaining disclosure requirements apply for annualreporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025,but not for any interim periods ending on or beforeMarch 31,2026.
The above amendments had no impact on theCompany's standalone financial statements for the yearended March 31,2026.
NOTE - 3 [SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS,ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requiresmanagement to make judgements, estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets andliabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosureof contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptionsand estimates could result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affectedin future periods.
Other disclosures relating to Company's exposure to risks anduncertainties includes:
> Capital management Note 31
> Financial risk management objectives and policies Note 30
> Sensitivity analysis disclosures Notes 28 and 30.Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies,management has made the following judgements, which have themost significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financialstatements.
Leases
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellableterm of the lease, together with any periods covered by an optionto extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, orany periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it isreasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease contracts that include extensionand termination options. The Company applies judgement inevaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not toexercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, itconsiders all relevant factors that create an economic incentivefor it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After thecommencement date, the Company reassesses the lease termif there is a significant event or change in circumstances that iswithin its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercisethe option to renew or to terminate
Furthermore, the periods covered by termination options areincluded as part of the lease term only when they are reasonablycertain not to be exercised.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sourcesof estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have asignificant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year,are described below. The Company based its assumptions andestimates on parameters available when the financial statementswere prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions aboutfuture developments, however, may change due to market changesor circumstances arising that are beyond the control of theCompany. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions whenthey occur.
Inventory valuation:
The inventory is valued at the lower of the cost and net realizablevalue (“NRV”). The determination of the NRV involves estimatesbased on prevailing market conditions and taking into accountthe estimated future selling price and selling costs and involvessignificant estimates and judgement in the assessment. Theseestimates and judgement significantly affect the determination ofthe value of inventories.
Provision for expected credit losses (‘ECL’) of tradereceivables:
The Company uses a provision matrix to calculate ECL for tradereceivables. The provision rates are based on days past due forgroupings of various customers that have similar loss patternsand involves significant estimates in the assessment. Theseestimates and judgement significantly affect the valuation of tradereceivables.
Defined retirement benefit plans and other long-termemployee benefits:
The cost of the defined benefit plans and other long-termemployee benefits and the present value of the obligation thereonare determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuationinvolves making various assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in the future. These include the determination ofthe discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates.Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-termnature, obligation amount is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The calculation is most sensitive to changes in the discount rate.In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated inIndia, the management considers the interest rates of governmentbonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables.Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in responseto demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuityincreases are based on expected future inflation rates and pasttrends. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note28.
Useful life and residual value of plant, property equipment:
The useful life and residual value of plant, property equipmentare determined based on evaluation made by the management ofthe expected usage of the asset, the physical wear and tear andtechnical or commercial obsolescence of the asset. Due to theestimations involved in ascertaining the useful life and residualvalue, the values are sensitive to the actual usage in future period.Provision for litigations and contingencies:
The provision for litigations and contingencies is determinedbased on evaluation made by the management of the presentobligation arising from past events the settlement of which isexpected to result in outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits, which involves estimating the ultimate outcome of suchpast events and measurement of the obligation amount. Due tothe estimations involved, the provisions are sensitive to the actualoutcome in future periods.
Provision for warranty:
The provision for warranty is determined based on evaluation madeby the management of the past experience of the level of repairsand returns, which involves estimating the expected warrantyclaims on products sold. Hence, the provisions are sensitive to theactual outcome in future periods.
Estimation of current tax expense and payableCurrent tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to thetax authorities in accordance with the provisions of Income taxAct, 1961. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liabilitymethod, on temporary differences arising between the tax basesof assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financialstatements. The recognition of deferred tax assets is premised ontheir future recoverability being probable.
Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rateThe Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit inthe lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR)to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that theCompany would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and witha similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similarvalue to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.The IBR therefore reflects what the Company 'would have to pay',which requires estimation when no observable rates are available.The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (suchas market interest rates) when available and is required to makecertain entity-specific estimates.
Direct Comparison Approach for underlying land:
The Direct Comparison Approach involves a comparison of the property being valued to similar properties that have actually been sold inarms length transactions or are offered for sale. This approach demonstrates what buyers have historically been willing to pay (and sellerswilling to accept) for similar properties in a competitive market and is particularly useful in estimating the value of the land and properties thatare typically traded on a unit basis. To ascertain the comparable transactions quotes, valuer would undertake an on ground market researchexercise involving interactions with local market players such as real estate brokers, accumulators, etc. The data would be collated with respectto the general transaction activity in the subject regions. Post establishing the prevalent values in the subject micro markets, the value of thesubject properties would be ascertained through an adjustment of the comparable collated.
Depreciated Replacement Cost Method for built up structures:
The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method involves assessing the current cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent asset lessdeductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. Depreciation refers to adjustments made to thecost of an equivalent asset to reflect any comparative obsolescence (such as physical deterioration, functional or economic obsolescence)that affects the subject asset over the remaining life of the subject asset at the valuation date with its expected total life (economic life of theproperty). The physical life is how long the asset, ignoring any potential for refurbishment or reconstruction, could be used before the assetwould be completely worn out or beyond economic repair. The economic life is how long it is anticipated that the asset could generate returnsor provide a financial benefit.

NOTE - 28| EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Disclosure on Retirement Benefits as required in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 19 on “Employee Benefits” are given below:
(a) Post Employment Benefit - Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has recognized an amount of Mio INR 389 (2024-25: Mio INR 382) as expense under the defined contribution plans in theStandalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Each year, the Board of Trustees review the level of funding in the India gratuity plan. Such a review includes the asset-liability matchingstrategy and investment risk management policy. The Board of Trustees ensure that the annual contributions are sufficiently made suchthat no plan deficits (based on valuation performed) will arise.
(b) Post Employment Benefit - Defined Benefit Plans
The Company makes annual contributions to the Bosch Employees' Gratuity Fund and makes monthly contributions to Bosch Employees(Bangalore) Provident Fund Trust and Bosch Workmen's (Nashik) Provident Fund Trust, funded defined benefit plans for qualifyingemployees. The Gratuity Scheme provides for lumpsum payment to vested employees at retirement/ death while in employment or ontermination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excessof six months. Vesting occurs only upon completion of five years of service, except in case of death or permanent disability. Gratuity ispayable to all eligible employees of the Company as per the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
The Provident Fund Scheme provides for lumpsum payment/ transfer to the member employees at retirement/ death while in employmentor on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to the credit standing in his account maintained by the Trusts. The presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the projected unit credit method withactuarial valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date.
Notes:
(i) The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yield on Government Bonds as at the balance sheet date for the estimated termof obligations.
(ii) The estimate of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and otherrelevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
(m) Risk exposures
A large portion of assets consists of government and corporate bonds and rest of assets consists of mutual funds and special deposit
account in banks. Through its defined plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed
below:
a. Discount rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yield falls,the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase. Most of the plan asset investments is in fixed income government securitieswith high grades and public sector corporate bonds. A small portion of the funds are invested in equity securities.
b. Salary inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
c. Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality,withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward anddepends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawalsbecause in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a shorter career employee typically costs less per year as compared to along service employee.
d. Changes in bond yields: The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing on thatday, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled. The change in expected rate of return on asset and discountrate is due to change in market scenarios. Although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans bond holdings.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, tax freebonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valuedusing the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for market, traded bonds, over-the-counterderivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible onentity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
** Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI include investments in equity shares of non-listed companies. The Companyholds non-controlling interests (between 2% to 9%) in these companies. These investments were irrevocably designated at fair valuethrough OCI as the Company considers these investments to be strategic in nature.
Note: There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended March 31,2026 and during the year ended March31,2025.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date
- the fair value of remaining financial instruments is determined using the discounted cash flow analysis
(iii) Valuation process
The finance and accounts department of the Company performs the valuation of financial assets and liabilities required for financialreporting purposes, and report to the Executive Director (ED). Discussions on valuation processes and results are held between the EDand valuation team at least once every three months, in line with the Company's quarterly reporting periods.
The main level 3 inputs are derived and evaluated as follows:
a) Discount rate for loans to employees are determined using prevailing bank lending rate.
b) The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined using the discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financialperformance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency optioncontracts are entered into by the Company to hedge certain foreign currency exposure. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging and not astrading or speculative instruments.
(A) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, instruments carried at amortized cost and deposits with banks, as well as creditexposures to customers including outstanding receivables.
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks which have high creditratings assigned by external agencies. Investments primarily include investment in debt based mutual funds whose portfolios haveinstruments with high credit rating and government bonds. The Board of Directors periodically review the investment portfolioof the Company. Credit risk on loans given to fellow subsidiaries is guaranteed by the Ultimate Holding Company. Credit riskwith respect to trade receivable is managed by the Company through setting up credit limits for customers and also periodicallyreviewing the credit worthiness of major customers.
Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
(B) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding throughan adequate amount of internal financing by way of daily cash flow projection to meet obligations when due and to close out marketpositions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability of funds.
Management monitors daily and monthly rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basisof expected cash flows. This is generally carried in accordance with standard guidelines. The company has liquidity reserves in the formof highly liquid assets like cash and cash equivalents, debt based mutual funds, deposit accounts, etc.
(i) Financing arrangements: The Company does not have borrowings as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. The Company has

(C) Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to USD andEUR. Foreign exchange risk arizes from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in acurrency that is not the company's functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreigncurrency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecasttransaction.
The Company imports and exports goods and services which are predominantly denominated in USD and EUR. This exposes theCompany to foreign currency risk. To minimize this risk, the Company hedges using forward contracts and foreign currency optioncontracts on a net exposure basis.
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of goods and sale of services.
The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to the Company's customers in an amount reflectingthe consideration the Company expects to be entitled.
Product revenues consist of sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Company considers customer purchase orders, which insome cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, theCompany has concluded that its contract is with the distributor as the Company holds contract bearing enforceable rights and obligationsonly with the distributor. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer's ability topay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identifiedperformance obligations.
Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor. Discounts and sales incentives that are payableto distributors are netted-off with revenue.
In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the netconsideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer(i.e., when the Company's performance obligation is satisfied). Further, in determining whether control has transferred, the Companyconsiders if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership been transferred to the customer.
(a) Description of segments and principal activities
The Company has its presence across automotive technology, industrial technology, consumer goods and energy and buildingtechnology. The Company has bifurcated its operations into “Automotive Products”, “Consumer Goods” and “Others” segment. TheCompany's operations in the automotive business consists of diesel systems, gasoline systems and automotive aftermarket productsand services and are aggregated into one reportable segment as 'Automotive Products' in accordance with the aggregation criteria.Aggregation is done due to the similarities of the products and services provided to the customers, similar production processes andsimilarities in the regulatory environment. The Company's “Consumer Goods” segment predominantly consists of trading activities inpower tools and consumables. The Company also operates in other businesses consisting of industrial technology, building technologyproducts and services which do not meet the threshold criteria for reporting as separate segments. Therefore, the reportable segmentconsists of “Automotive Products”, “Consumer Goods” and “Others”. The Company's Management team is the Chief Operating DecisionMaker (CODM) and it monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resourceallocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently withprofit or loss in the financial statements.
Revenue by geographical areas is stated on the basis of origin and there are no non-current assets located outside India.
The accounting principles and policies adopted in the preparation of the standalone financial statements are also consistently appliedto record income/ expenditure and assets/ liabilities in individual segments.
The inter-segment revenue have been accounted for based on the transaction price agreed to between segments which is primarilymarket based.
The Company has entered into various lease contracts for building premises used in its operations, which have lease term ranging from 2 yearsto 4 years.
