2.16 Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that the Company will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the bestestimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period,taking into account the risks and uncertaintiessurrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required tosettle a provision are expected to be recovered from athird party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it isvirtually certain that reimbursement will be received andthe amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
2.17 Warranties:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognisedwhen the Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments. Financial assets andliabilities are offset and the net amount is reported inthe Standalone Balance Sheet where there is a legallyenforceable right to offset the recognised amounts andthere is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise theassets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.19 Financial assets:
Purchases or sales of financial assets in ordinarycourse of business are recognised and derecognisedon a trade date basis.

However, trade receivables that do not containa significant financing component are measured attransaction price.
All recognised financial assets are subsequentlymeasured in their entirety at either amortised costor fair value, depending on the classification of thefinancial assets.
Disputed Dues are those receivables against whichlegal cases has been filed with the corresponding legalauthorities. The company writes off a financial assetwhen there is information indicating that the debtor isin severe financial difficulty and there is no realisticprospect of recovery. Financial assets written off maystill be subject to enforcement activities under thecompany's recovery procedure, taking into accountlegal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries madeare recognized in Profit or loss.

For trade receivables or any contractual rights toreceive cash or another financial asset that resultsfrom transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, theCompany always measures their allowances at anamount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expectedcredit loss allowance for trade receivable, the Companyhas used a practical expedient as permitted under IndAS 109 “Financial Instruments”. This expected creditloss allowance is computed based on a provision matrixwhich takes into account historical credit loss experienceand adjusted for forward-looking information.
2.19.3 Derecognition of financial assets:
The Company derecognises a financial asset whenthe contractual rights to the cash flows from the assetexpire, or when it transfers the financial asset andsubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownershipof the asset to another party. If the Company neithertransfers nor retains substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership and continues to control thetransferred asset, the Company recognises its retained
interest in the asset and an associated liability foramounts it may have to pay. If the Company retainssubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership ofa transferred financial asset, the Company continuesto recognise the financial asset and also recognises acollateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
2.19.4 Foreign exchange gains and losses:
The fair value of financial assets denominated in aforeign currency is determined in that foreign currencyand translated at the spot rate at the end of eachreporting period.

Other Accounting Policies:
2.24 Non-current assets held for sale:
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if theircarrying amount will be recovered principally througha sale transaction rather than through continuing use.This condition is regarded as met only when the assetis available for immediate sale in its present conditionsubject only to terms that are usual and customary forsales of such asset and its sale is highly probable.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale aremeasured at the lower of their carrying amount and fairvalue less costs to sell.
2.25 Borrowing cost:
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of qualifying assets arecapitalised as part of the cost of such assets till suchtime the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requiresa substantial period of time to get ready for its intendeduse or sale.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTSAND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATIONUNCERTAINTY:
I n the application of the Company's accounting policies,which are described in Note 2, the management of theCompany are required to make judgements, estimatesand assumptions about the carrying amounts of assetsand liabilities that are not readily apparent from othersources. The estimates and associated assumptionsare based on historical experience and other factorsthat are considered to be relevant. Actual results maydiffer from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewedon an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognised in the period in which the estimate isrevised if the revision affects only that period, or in theperiod of the revision and future periods if the revisionaffects both current and future periods.
In the following areas the management of the Companyhas made critical judgements and estimates:
a. Employee Benefits:
The present value of the defined benefitobligations depends on a number of factors thatare determined on an actuarial basis using anumber of assumptions. The assumptions usedin determining the net cost (income) for postemployments plans include the discount rate.Any changes in these assumptions will impact thecarrying amount of such obligations.
The Company determines the appropriate discountrate at the end of each year. This is the interest ratethat should be used to determine the present value
of estimated future cash outflows expected to berequired to settle the defined benefit obligations.In determining the appropriate discount rate,the Company considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds of maturity approximating theterms of the related plan liability.
b. Useful lives of property, plant andequipment & intangible assets (IncludingIntangible Asset under development):
The Company reviews the useful life of property,plant and equipment & intangible assets at theend of each reporting period. This reassessmentmay result in change in depreciation expense infuture periods.
The Company's assessment of carrying valueof intangible under development have inherentchallenge with accurately predicting the futureeconomic benefits which includes estimateof volume projection, margin, regulatory changes,expected capital expenditure for productionphase and judgement around the probabilityof acceptance of technology/new product.Estimate and judgement around these inputs arecritical to assess the carrying value of assets.The Company undertakes significant levels ofresearch and development activities for enginedevelopment and its various uses. A periodicreview is undertaken during the life cycle of theengine. The Company applies judgement todetermine the point at which the recognitioncriteria under accounting standard is satisfied.
c. Provision for warranty:
The Company gives warranties for its products,undertaking to repair or replace the items thatfail to perform satisfactorily during the warrantyperiod. Provision made at the year-end representsthe amount of expected cost of meeting suchobligations of rectification / replacement.The timing of the outflows is expected to be withina period of nine to sixty six months.
d. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
A provision is recognised when the Companyhas a present obligation as a result of past eventand it is probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation, in respectof which a reliable estimate can be made.Provisions (excluding retirement benefits andcompensated absences) are not discounted to itspresent value and are determined based on bestestimate required to settle the obligation at theBalance sheet date. These are reviewed at eachBalance sheet date and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimates. Contingent liabilities are notrecognised in the standalone financial statements.A contingent asset is neither recognised nordisclosed in the standalone financial statements.
e. Impairment of Investment in Subsidiaries:
The investments in subsidiaries are carried at costand tested for impairment in accordance withprovisions applicable to impairment of non-financialassets. The recoverable amount is determinedbased on value in use. The determinationof recoverable amount involves significantjudgements such as market value, future projectionof revenue, EBITDA, weighted average cost ofcapital and terminal growth.
The recoverable amount is significantly dependanton achievement of revenue growth and anychange in revenue growth projection could havean impact on recoverable value.
Based on the above, no impairment was identifiedas of March 31,2026 as the recoverable amount ishigher than carrying value.
f. Impairment of financial assets:
The group uses a provision matrix to measure thelifetime expected credit losses as per the practicalexpedient prescribed under Ind AS 109. The tradereceivables are mainly related to contracts for sale
of goods and services for which a provision matrixis adjusted for historical credit loss experienceto measure the lifetime expected credit lossesas per the practical expedient prescribedunder Ind AS 109.

Based on the actuarial valuation obtained in this respect, the following table sets out the status of the gratuity plan andthe amounts recognised in the Company's financial statements as at balance sheet date:
Sensitivity analysis:
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes indemographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitiveto are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage termson the reported defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase ordecrease in the reported assumptions by 50 basis points.
26C Risk exposure :
Risk associated with defined benefit plan.
Gratuity is defined benefit plan and Company is exposed to the following risks :
i) Interest rate risk : A fall in the discount rate which is link to the government security rate will increase the presentvalue of the liability requiring higher provisions.
ii) Salary risk : The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries ofmembers. As such, an increase in salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
iii) Asset liability matching (ALM) risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as the matching cash flows, the Company has tomanage payout based on pay as you go basis from own funds.
iv) Mortality risk : Since the benefit under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plandoes not have any longevity risk.

31E Foreign currency risk management :
The Company enters into international transactions and is exposed to resultant foreign exchange risk, primarily withrespect to the USD, CNY (RMB) and EUR . Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions andrecognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (ss). The riskis measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The Company based on market trendsand its expectation in respect of fluctuation in foreign currencies takes decision to hedge its currency risk using forwardforeign exchange contracts to minimize the volatility of highly probable transactions.

Unhedged Foreign currency exposure
The Carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated unhedged monetary assets and liabilities atthe end of each reporting period are as follows.
31F Credit risk management :
i) Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are deemed to be past due or impaired with reference to the Company's normal terms andconditions of business. These terms and conditions are determined on a case to case basis with reference to thecustomer's credit quality and prevailing market conditions.
The credit quality of the Company's customers is monitored on an ongoing basis and assessed for impairmentwhere indicators of such impairment exist. lifetime expected credit loss model) for impairment of undisputed tradereceivables. The solvency of the debtor and their ability to repay the receivable is considered in Disputed tradereceivables has been treated as a separate group and on the same, specific provision as the case may be has beenconsidered. The Company uses simplified approach (i.e. assessing receivables for impairment. Where receivableshave been impaired, the Company actively seeks to recover the amounts in question and enforce compliance withcredit terms. There is no single customer dependency. As at March 31 2026, the Company has top five unsecuredcustomers that owed to the company ' 53.34 Crore which accounted for 19% of the total trade receivables. (As atMarch 31 2025, the Company has top five unsecured customers that owed to the company '73.00 Crore whichaccounted for 26% of the total trade receivables).
ii) Other receivables and deposits with banks (including margin money deposits)
Other financial assets that are potentially subject to credit risk consists of deposits with banks, security depositsand receivables from related parties. The Company assesses the recoverability from these financial assets onregular basis. Factors such as business and financial performance of counterparty, their ability to repay, regulatorychanges and overall economic conditions are considered to assess future recoverability. The Company chargesinterest on such loans at arms length rate considering counterparty's credit rating. Based on the assessmentperformed, the Company considers all the outstanding balances of such financial assets to be recoverable as onbalance sheet date.
iii) Loan to related parties:
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of loan and whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether thereis a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the loan as at thereporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable andsupportive forwarding-looking information. In particular, the following indicators are incorporated:
• internal credit rating
• actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expectedto 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
• significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the counterparty, including changes in thepayment status of the counterparty in the Company and changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
