A provision is recognised if, as a result of a pastevent, the Company has a present obligationthat can be estimated reliably, and it is probablethat an outflow of economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation. Provisionsare recognised at the best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the presentobligation at the balance sheet date.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it isprobable that the economic benefits will flowto the Company and the revenue can be reliablymeasured, regardless of when the paymentis being made..
However, Goods and Services Tax (GST) is notreceived by the Company on its own account.Rather, it is tax collected on value added tothe commodity or supplies made by the selleron behalf of the government. Accordingly, it isexcluded from revenue.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised basedon a 5-Step Methodology which is as follows:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performanceobligation in contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to theperformance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) theentity satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised atthe point in time when control of the goodsis transferred to the customer, generallyon delivery of the goods and there are nounfulfilled obligations. Revenue is measuredbased on the transaction price, which is theconsideration, adjusted for volume discounts,turnover discounts, scheme discounts and cashdiscounts, if any, as specified in the contractwith the customer. Revenue also excludes taxescollected from customers.
The Company recognises revenue from salesof services over time, because the customersimultaneously receives and consumes thebenefits provided by the Company. Revenuefrom services provided is recognised uponrendering of the services, in accordance with theagreed terms with the customers where ultimatecollection of the revenue is reasonably expected.
All export benefits and incentives under variouspolicies of Government of India are recognised onaccrual basis when no significant uncertaintiesas to the amount of consideration that would bederived and as to its ultimate collection exist.
Other income
Interest income is recognised on accrual basisusing the effective interest method.
Contract assets
Contract assets is right to consideration inexchange for goods or services transferred to thecustomer and performance obligation satisfied.If the Company performs by transferring goodsor services to a customer before the customerpays consideration or before payment is due,a contract asset is recognised for the earnedconsideration that is conditional, in the natureof unbilled receivables. Upon completion ofthe attached condition and acceptance by thecustomer, the amounts recognised as contractassets is reclassified to trade receivablesupon invoicing. A receivables represents the
Company's right to an amount of considerationthat is unconditional. Contract assets aresubject to impairment assessment.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfergoods or services to a customer for whichthe Company has received consideration (oran amount of consideration is due) from thecustomer or has raised the invoice in advance.If a customer pays consideration before theCompany transfers goods or services to thecustomer, a contract liability is recognisedwhen the payment is made or the payment isdue (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilitiesare recognised as revenue when the Companyperforms under the contract (i.e., transferscontrol of the related goods or servicesto the customer).
Government grants related to property, plantand equipment under Export Promotion CapitalGoods (EPCG) are included in the non-currentliabilities as deferred government grant andare credited to Profit or loss on the basis offulfillment of export obligation and presentedwithin other income in accordance with theprimary conditions associated with purchase ofassets and related grants.
Government grants not related to assetsare recognised in the Standalone Statementof Profit and Loss when the right to receivebenefits is established and the realisation isreasonably certain.
A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of acontract, that conveys the right to use an asset(the underlying asset) for a period of time inexchange for consideration'.
Classification of leases
The Company enters into leasing arrangementsfor various assets. The assessment of the leaseis based on several factors, including, but notlimited to, transfer of ownership of leasedasset at end of lease term, lessee's option toextend/purchase etc.
Recognition and initial measurement
At lease commencement date, the Companyrecognises a right-of-use asset and a leaseliability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use
asset is measured at cost, which is made up ofthe initial measurement of the lease liability,any initial direct costs incurred by the Company,an estimate of any costs to dismantle andremove the asset at the end of the lease (ifany), and any lease payments made in advanceof the lease commencement date (net of anyincentives received).
Subsequent measurement
The Company depreciates the right-of-useassets on a straight-line basis from the leasecommencement date to the earlier of the endof the useful life of the right-of-use asset orthe end of the lease term. The Company alsoassesses the right-of-use asset for impairmentwhen such indicators exist.
At lease commencement date, the Companymeasures the lease liability at the present valueof the lease payments unpaid at that date,discounted using the interest rate implicit inthe lease if that rate is readily available or theCompany's incremental borrowing rate (IBR).Lease payments included in the measurement ofthe lease liability are made up of fixed payments(including in substance fixed payments)and variable payments based on an index orrate. Subsequent to initial measurement, theliability will be reduced for payments made andincreased for interest. It is re-measured to reflectany reassessment or modification, or if thereare changes in in-substance fixed payments.When the lease liability is re-measured, thecorresponding adjustment is reflected in theright-of-use asset.
The Company has elected to account for short¬term leases using the practical expedients.Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset andlease liability, the payments in relation to theseare recognised as an expense in standalonestatement of profit and loss on a straight-linebasis over the lease term.
Estimating the incremental borrowing rate
The Company cannot readily determine theinterest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, ituses its IBR to measure lease liabilities. The IBRis the rate of interest that the Company wouldhave to pay for last long-term funds raised.
(r) Income-tax
Tax expense recognised in the standalonestatement of profit and loss comprises the sum
of deferred tax and current tax not recognised inother comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is determined as the tax payablein respect of taxable income for the year andis computed in accordance with relevant taxregulations. Current tax are recognised as anexpense or income in the standalone statementof profit and loss, except when they relateto items credited or debited either in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity, inwhich case the tax is also recognised in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect oftemporary differences between carryingamount of assets and liabilities for financialreporting purposes and corresponding amountused for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assetson unrealised tax loss are recognised to theextent that it is probable that the underlyingtax loss will be utilised against future taxableincome. This is assessed based on the Company'sforecast of future operating results, adjusted forsignificant non-taxable income and expensesand specific limits on the use of any unusedtax loss. Unrecognised deferred tax assets arere-assessed at each reporting date and arerecognised to the extent that it has becomeprobable that future taxable profits will allowthe deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measuredat the tax rates that are expected to apply in theyear when the asset is realised or the liability issettled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) thathave been enacted or substantively enacted atthe reporting date. Deferred tax are recognisedas an expense or income in the consolidatedstatement of profit and loss, except when theyrelate to items credited or debited either in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity, inwhich case the tax is also recognised in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity.
Basic earnings per share are calculated bydividing the standalone net profit for the yearattributable to equity shareholders by theweighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earningsper share, the standalone net profit or loss forthe year attributable to equity shareholdersand the weighted average number of sharesoutstanding during the year are adjusted for theeffects of all dilutive potential equity sharesexcept where the results will be anti-dilutive
A contingent liability exists when there is apossible but not probable obligation, or apresent obligation that may, but probably willnot, require an outflow of resources, or a presentobligation whose amount cannot be estimatedreliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrantprovisions, but are disclosed. Contingent assetsare neither recognised nor disclosed in thestandalone financial statements. However,contingent assets are assessed continuallyand if it is virtually certain that an inflow ofeconomic benefits will arise, the asset andrelated income are recognised in the period inwhich the change occurs.
For the purpose of presentation in the statementof cash flows, cash and cash equivalentsincludes cash on hand, deposits held at call withfinancial institutions, other short-term, highlyliquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less that are readily convertibleto known amounts of cash and which are subjectto an insignificant risk of changes in value, andbank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shownwithin borrowings in current liabilities in thestandalone balance sheet.
Borrowing costs directly attributable toacquisition, construction or erection ofqualifying assets are capitalised. Capitalisationof borrowing costs ceases when substantially allthe activities necessary to prepare the qualifyingassets for their intended use are complete.
Other borrowing costs are recognised as anexpense in the standalone statement of profitand loss in the year in which they are incurred.

The carrying value of goodwill amounting to INR 181.91 crore arose at the time of business purchase of erstwhile APKAutomotive and AK Auto Industries by the Company, which is tested for impairment annually at each balance sheetdate in accordance with the Company's procedure for determining the recoverable amounts of the after marketbusiness which is considered as a cash generating unit (CGU). The recoverable amount of CGU is based on fairvalue. The fair value for Goodwill is determined based on discounted cash flow projections. These calculations usesmanagement assumptions and discounted pre tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a 5year period. Cash flow projection beyond 5 years time period are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growthrate. Certain key assumptions considered by the management for impairment testing of CGU are stated below:
• Weighted average cost of capital: 31 March 2026: 16.20% (31 March 2025: 16.92%)
• Revenue growth rate: 31 March 2026: 10% (31 March 2025: 10%)
5.1 Refer to note 35 for details of investments in subsidiary and joint ventures
5.2 The Company performs impairment assessment annually of its investment in ASK Fras-Le Friction Private Limited toascertain the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of investment in the joint venture is higher than the proportionateshare of net worth of the joint venture, which has been identified as an impairment indicator by the management inaccordance with the principles of Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets (‘Ind AS 36'). Accordingly, the management hasperformed detailed impairment testing for such investment in joint venture by carrying out a valuation with the help ofan independent valuation specialist as a management's expert using discounted cash flow (‘DCF') method in order todetermine the recoverable value of investment in such joint venture. The recoverable amount is determined based onfair value. These calculations uses management assumptions and discounted cash flow projections based on financialbudgets covering a 5 year period. Cash flow projection beyond 5 years time period are extrapolated using the estimatedterminal growth rate. Certain key assumptions considered by the management for impairment testing are stated below:
• Weighted average cost of capital: 31 March 2026: 20.80% (31 March 2025: 21.54%)
• Terminal growth rate: 31 March 2026: 4% (31 March 2025: 4%)
• The management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used in the fairvalue calculation would cause the carrying value of the investment to materially exceed its fair value."

17 Provisions (Contd..)
17.1 Defined benefit plan and long term employment benefits
Gratuity (Defined benefit plan):
The Company's gratuity obligation is a defined benefit plan. The liability is determined based on an independentactuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method as at the reporting date. Effective November 21,2025, the gratuity scheme is governed by the provisions of the Code on Social Security, 2020, which hasreplaced the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the said Code, employees who have completed five years ofcontinuous service (one year in the case of fixed-term employees) are eligible for gratuity benefits. Based onthe review of existing wage structure and an independent legal opinion obtained, the Company has estimatedthat there is no material impact on the standalone financial statements due to these New Labour Codes.The benefit is computed at 15 days' salary (based on last drawn salary) for each completed year of service.Accordingly, the level of benefit provided depends on the employee's length of service and salary at the timeof exit. The gratuity plan is unfunded, and the Company recognises the entire liability in its standalone financialstatements. Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments andchanges in actuarial assumptions, are recognised immediately in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and arenot reclassified to standalone profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The employees of the Company are entitled to leave as per the leave policy of the Company. Since theCompany have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of the leave obligations beyond 12 months,the Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months as long termemployee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based onactuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. The expense related to compensatedabsences are recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss as employee benefits expense.
These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuary. Discountfactors are determined close to each year-end by reference to market yields of high quality corporate bondsthat are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturityapproximating to the terms of the related obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarialbenchmarks and management's historical experience.
J Sensitivity analysis: Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligationare discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determinedbased on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year, whileholding all other assumptions constant. The results of sensitivity analysis is given below:
The change in defined benefit obligation due to 100 bps increase/decrease in mortality rate, if all otherassumptions remain constant is negligible
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefitobligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some ofthe assumptions may be correlated.
There is no change in the method of valuation for the prior year.
33 Earning per share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the average number ofequity shares and weighted average number of equity shares outstanding. The reconciliation of the number of sharesand weighted average number of shares for the purpose of basic and diluted earnings per share to the number of equityshares and weighted average number of ordinary equity shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings pershare is as follows:
34 Segment Reporting
The business activity of the Company falls within one operating segment viz. manufacturing of auto componentsincluding advanced braking systems, aluminium lightweighting precision solutions and safety control cables primarily forautomobile industry and substantial sale of the products is within India. The Board of Directors, which has been identifiedas being the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluates the Company's performance, allocate resources basedon the analysis of the various performance indicators of the Company as a single unit. Therefore, there is one reportablesegment for the Company.

Duringthe year, the Company has not received any further communication in this matter. The Company believes thatthis was information seeking by the authorities and is not likely to have any implication on the financial positionof the Company.
38 Financial instruments - Fair values measurement and risk management (Contd..)
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are groupedinto three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significantinputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined usingvaluation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data rely as little as possible on entityspecific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument isincluded in level 3.
B Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk;
- Market risk - Foreign exchange;
- Market risk - Interest rate; and
- Commodity price risk
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of theCompany's risk management framework. The board of directors have authorised senior management toestablish the processes, who ensures that executive management controls risks through the mechanism ofproperly defined framework.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company,to set appropriate risks limits and controls, to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policiesare reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company,through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructivecontrol environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financialinstrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivablesfrom customers, loans.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits withbanks and other bank balances with high credit ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies. Whilecash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109, the identifiedimpairment loss was immaterial.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Tradereceivables are unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India.The Company does monitor the economic environment in which it operates.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of loan and whether there hasbeen a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assesswhether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurringon the loan as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considersavailable reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicatorsare incorporated:
• Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that areexpected to cause a significant change to the borrower's ability to meet its obligations
• Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower
Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limitsand continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit termsin the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected creditloss (ECL) model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to computethe expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account availableexternal and internal credit risk factors such as Company's historical experience for customers.
The credit risk for investment carried at amortised cost and other financial assets is considerednegligible. However, specific provision is made in case a particular receivable is considered to benon -recoverable.
(ii) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
In accordance with Ind AS 109- Financial Instruments, the Company uses the expected credit loss(“ECL”) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on its trade receivables orany contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions thatare within the scope of Ind AS 115- Revenue from contracts with customers. For this purpose, theCompany uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount for trade receivables.The provision matrix takes into account external and internal credit risk factors and historical data ofcredit losses from various customers. The default in collection as a percentage to total receivable islow and overall expected credit loss is not material to these financial statements.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and theavailability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligationswhen due. Due to the nature of the business, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability under committed facilities. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidityposition and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takes intoaccount the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company's liquiditymanagement policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquidassets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and externalregulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings basedon their contractual maturities for all non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed inthe table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal theircarrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objectiveof market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,while optimising the return.
(i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in theprevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Exposure arisesprimarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the functional currency and other currenciesfrom the Company's operating, investing and financing activities.
Exposure to currency risk
The summary of quantitative data about the Company's unhedged exposure to currency risk, asexpressed in INR :
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against below currencies at31 March 2026 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated infunctional currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysisis performed on foreign currency denominated monetary financial assets and financial liabilitiesoutstanding as at the year end. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interestrates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
* Holding all other variables constant
#Percentage for sensitivity analysis are considered based on change in foreign currency rates of respective year.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. The Company's main interest rate risk arises from long-termborrowings and short term borrowings with variable rates.
Interest rate risk exposure
The Company's interest rate risk arises majorly from the term loans and short term borrowingsfrom banks and loans given by the Company carrying floating rate of interest. The exposure of theCompany's borrowing to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of thereporting year are as follows:
Fluctuation in commodity price in market affects directly or indirectly the price of raw material andcomponents used by the Company. The Company sells its products mainly to Original EquipmentManufacturers for whom it is manufacturing auto components. The Company does regular negotiation /adjustment of prices on the basis of changes in commodity prices.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securitiespremium reserve and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primaryobjective of the management of the Company's capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt andequity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financialflexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseenevents on cash flows.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economicconditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, raisenew debt or issue new shares.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt to capital ratio, which is calculated as adjusted netinterest-bearing debts divided by total capital.
*During the current year, debt has been increased by INR 116.46 crore against increase in shareholders' equity by INR 200.34 crore.
$During the current year, there is an increase in earnings available for debt service of INR 19.53 crore and decrease in repayments of debt andinterest by INR 37.52 crore.
(b) The Company has not invested or traded in crypto currency & virtual currency.
(c) The Company has not advanced or loaned or invested funds to any other person(s) or entity(ies), including foreignentities (intermediaries) with the understanding that the intermediary shall:
