Provisions are recognised when the Company hasa present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of past events, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. The expenses relating to a provision isrecognised in the statement of profit and loss netof any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the riskspecific to the liability. When discounting is used,the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions for warranty related costs are recognisedwhen the product is sold. Initial recognition isbased on historical experience i.e. claims receivedup to the year end and the Management'sestimate of further liability to be incurred in thisregard during the warranty period, computed onthe basis of past trend of such claims. The initialestimate of warranty related costs is revisedannually.
Liquidated damages on supply of materials areprovided based on the contractual obligations,deduction made by the customers, as the case maybe based on Management's best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the obligations.
The Management estimates the provisions forpending litigations, claims and demands based onits assessment of probability for these demandscrystalising against the Company in due course.Also refer Note 5.14.
Onerous Contract
Provision is recognised for the contract, whereunavoidable cost of meeting the obligation underthe contract exceeds the economic benefitsexpected to be received. The unavoidable costsunder a contract reflect the least net cost of exitingfrom the contract, which is the lower of the costof fulfilling it and any compensation or penaltiesarising from failure to fulfil it.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made whenthere is a possible obligation arising from pastevents, the existence of which will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence of oneor more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the Company or a present obligationthat arises from past events where it is either notprobable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle or areliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Derivatives embedded in a host contract thatis an asset within the scope of Ind AS 109 arenot separated. Financial assets with embeddedderivatives are considered in their entiretywhen determining whether their cash flowsare solely payment of principal and interest.
Derivatives embedded in all other hostcontract are separated only if the economiccharacteristics and risks of the embeddedderivative are not closely related to theeconomic characteristics and risks of the hostand are measured at fair value through profitor loss. Embedded derivatives closely relatedto the host contracts are not separated.
The Company enters into certain derivativecontracts to hedge risks which are notdesignated as hedges. Derivative instrumentsare initially recognised at fair value on thedate a derivative contract is entered into andare subsequently re-measured to their fairvalue at the end of each reporting period,with changes included in 'Other Income' /'Other Expenses'.

(i) Warranties
Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are under warranty at the end of thereporting period. The warranty period ranges between 2 to 3 years. Management estimates the provision based oncontractual terms, historical warranty claims information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims coulddiffer from historical amounts.
(ii) Loss on Onerous Contract
Provision is made for contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed theeconomic benefits expected to be received under it. Management estimates the provision based on contractual termsand the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.
(iii) Litigation, Claims and Contingencies
The amounts represent best possible estimates of pending litigations / claims filed by vendors, customers, labours etc andprobable claims arising out of certain tax matters. The timing and probability of outflow and expected reimbursements,if any, with regard to these matters depends on the ultimate outcome of the legal process or settlement / conclusion ofthe matter with the relevant authorities / customers / vendors etc.
(iii) Leave Benefits
The Company provides for accumulation of leave by its employees. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised leavebalances and utilise it in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company's policy. The Company records a provisionfor leave benefits in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. This is an unfunded plan.
The total provision recorded by the Company towards these benefits as at year end was Rs. 2.11 Crores (March 31,2024: Rs. 1.02 Crores).The amount of the provision is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlementfor any of these benefits. However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount ofaccrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken orpaid within the next 12 months
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this isunlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefitobligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with theprojected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligationrecognised in the Balance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(ii) Post-Employment Defined Contribution Plans:
Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme (ESI)
Certain categories of employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund and ESI, a defined contribution plan. Boththe employee and employer make monthly contributions to a government administered fund at specified percentage of the coveredemployee's qualifying salary. The Company have no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
(iv) Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to some risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
(a) Discount Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of fall in discount rate. A fall in discount rate will eventually increase the ultimate cost of providingthe above benefit thereby increasing the value of the liability.
(b) Salary Growth Risks
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increasein the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
(c) Demographic Risk
In the valuation of the liability, certain demographic (mortality and attrition rates) assumptions are made. The Company are exposedto this risk to the extent of actual experience eventually being worse compared to the assumptions thereby causing an increase in thebenefit cost.
36 The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on March 21, 2023 approved the Employee Stock Option Schemetitled "Titagarh Rail Systems Limited Employees Stock Option Scheme 2023" for the employees. Subsequently, on April 26,2023, the shareholders, by way of postal ballot approved the said Scheme. During the current year, the total number of optionsgranted under the Scheme is 500,000 options which will be granted in one or more tranches over a period of 5 years. Eachoption when exercised will be converted into 1 equity share of Rs. 2 each fully paid up. Other terms are -
* Includes Rs. 13.60 Crores (March 31,2024: Rs. 13.60 Crores) which in terms of BIFR order, even if decided against the Company, would standat Rs. 1.36 Crores (March 31,2024: Rs 1.36 Crores) only.
In respect of above cases based on favourable decisions in similar cases / legal opinions taken by the Company / discussions with thesolicitors etc., the Management is of the opinion that it is possible, but not probable, that the action will succeed and accordingly noprovision for any liability has been made in the financial statements.
In respect of above contingent liabilities, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, pendingresolution of the respective proceedings. The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above.
Also, refer Note 7(e) for financial undertaking given by the Company in respect of borrowings of RTRWL, one of its joint venture.
(ii) Further:
(a) Erstwhile Cimmco Limited (Since merged with the Company) had prior to year 2000, obtained certain advance licenses for makingduty free import of inputs subject to fulfillment of export obligation (EO) within the specified time limit / extended time limit (asextended pursuant to sanctioned scheme of BIFR) from the date of issuance of such licenses. However, in absence of completelist of licenses along with the imports made against each license, the amount of contingent liability towards custom duty savedon unfulfilled export obligations and penal interest if any, is presently unascertainable.
(b) SBI Caps has raised a claim of Rs. 11.29 Crores on erstwhile Cimmco Limited (since merged with the Company) on account ofdisallowance of depreciation by the income tax authorities on the wagons leased by SBI Caps to erstwhile Cimmco Limited (sincemerged with the Company) which in turn has been sub leased to Indian Railways. The same pertains to the assessment year 1998- 99 to 2004 - 05 (period prior to change of management in terms of the BIFR order) and the matter is pending with ITAT Mumbai.As per the separate lease agreements entered between SBI CAPS, erstwhile Cimmco Limited (since merged with the Company)and Indian Railways, any claims, charges, duties, taxes and penalties as may be levied by the Government or any other authoritypertaining to leased wagons shall be borne by the Indian Railways. Considering the above terms contained in the above agreementsand also Favourable ITAT judgments regarding the admissibility of the depreciation on the leased assets, the Company believesthat there would not be any liability that would crystallise on account of the above.
The operating segments based on the Company's products has been identified by the chief operating decision maker, being the Boardof Directors, as "Freight Rail Systems" and "Passenger Rail Systems".
a) Freight Rail Systems - Consists of manufacturing of Wagons, Loco Shells, bogies, couplers, its components, designing andconstruction of Warships, Passenger Vessels, Tug and specialised equipment's for Defence, Bridge Girders etc.
b) Passenger Rail Systems - Consists of designing and manufacturing of Metro, Passenger Coaches, EMUs, Train Sets, Mono Rail,Propulsion equipment, Traction Motors and its components.
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with Profit or Loss in the Standalone FinancialStatements. Also, the Company's borrowings (including finance costs to the extent not allocable to segments), income taxes,investments and derivative instruments are managed at head office and are not allocated to operating segments.
Segment Revenue is measured in the same way as in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Segment Assets and Liabilities are measured in the same way as in the standalone financial statements.
These asset and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and physical location of assets.
c) The Company has provided letter of financial support to one of its joint venture namely Titagarh Mermec Private Limited and Shivaliks Mercantile Limited(formerly Shivaliks Mercantile Private Limited).
d) Also refer Note 6.1(d) to the standalone financial statements.
(i) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a)recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the standalonefinancial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company hasclassified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level followsbelow.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives) isdetermined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is thecase for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements during the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
(iv) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer aliability in orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate thefair values are consistent with those used for the year ended March 31,2024.
The methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
(a) The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the Balance Sheet date.
(b) The management assessed that the fair values of remaining financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost approximate to theircarrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
(c) For financial assets / liabilities carried at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to their fair values.
(d) Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherentlimitations in any estimate technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates are notnecessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respectivedates. As such, fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amountsreported at each reporting date.
The Company's financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these
financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash
and cash equivalents, investments and other financial assets.
The Company's Board of Directors ensures that risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Risk Management
Policy of the Company and also reviews these risks and related risk management policy, which are summarised below.
I) Market Risks
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in marketprices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and interestrate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include FVTPL investments, trade payables, trade receivables, borrowings,other receivables etc.
(i) Foreign currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreignexchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company'soperating activities and borrowings. Such foreign currency exposures are primarily hedged by the Company through use offoreign exchange forward contracts. The Company has a treasury team which continuously monitors the foreign exchangefluctuations on a continuous basis and advises the Management of any material adverse effect on the Company, and anyadditional remedial measures to be taken.
(ii) Equity price risks
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in equityprices (other than those arising from interest rate or foreign exchange rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specificto the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
The Company only invests in the equity shares of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and some of the group companies aspart of the Company's overall business strategy and policy. The Company manages the equity price risk through placing limits onindividual and total equity investment in each of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and group companies based on therespective business plan of each of the companies. Reports on the investment portfolio along with the financial performance of thesubsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and group companies are submitted to the Company's Management on a regular basis. TheCompany's Board of Directors reviews and approves all investment decisions.
