2.19 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate canbe made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding theobligation. When a provision is measured using cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, itscarrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money ismaterial).
Contingent assets are disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to account when an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow ofresources will be require to settle the obligation;
• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible; and
• A present obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow ofresources is remote.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties forcompletion/purchase of assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.Warranty provisions

Therecoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Thecalculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earningsmultiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discountrate, future economic and market conditions.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-taxdiscount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to assetfor which the estimates for future cash flows have not been adjusted.

Fair values
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer aliability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction tosell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that marketparticipants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that marketparticipants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a marketparticipant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest andbest use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in itshighest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances andfor which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use ofrelevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financialstatements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, basedon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
a) Level 1 -- This includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. Thefair value of all equity instruments which are traded on the Stock Exchanges is valuedusing the closing price as at the reporting period.
b) Level 2 -- The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an activemarket (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuationtechniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little aspossible on entity-specific estimates.
c) Level 3 -- If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observablemarket data, the instrument is included in level 3
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurringbasis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in thehierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reportingperiod.
External valuers are involved, wherever required, for valuation of significant assets,such as properties, unquoted financial assets and significant liabilities. Involvement ofexternal valuers is decided upon by the Company after discussion with and approvalby the Company's management. Selection criteria include market knowledge,reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. TheCompany, after discussions with its external valuers, determines which valuationtechniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the Company analyses the movements in the values of assetsand liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per theCompany's accounting policies. For this analysis, the Company verifies the majorinputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuationcomputation to contracts and other relevant documents. The Company also comparesthe change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources todetermine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes ofassets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset orliability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketablesecurities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed creditfacilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamicnature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding bymaintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash andcash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out at locallevel in the operating companies of the Company in accordance with practice and limits setby the Company. These limits vary by location to take into account the liquidity of themarket in which the entity operates. In addition, the Company’s liquidity managementpolicy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level ofliquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios againstinternal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising fromforeign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US$, EUR. Foreign exchangerisk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilitiesdenominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (INR). The risk ismeasured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variablerates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore notsubject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount northe future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
