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 the effect of the timevalue of money is material, provisions are determined bydiscounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-taxrate that reflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability. Theincrease in the provision due to the passage of time isrecognised as interest expense.
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.
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬monetary benefits that are expected to be settledwholly within twelve months after the end of theperiod in which the employees render the relatedservice are recognised in respect of employees'services up to the end of the reporting periodand are measured at the undiscounted amountsexpected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.The liabilities are presented as current benefitobligations in the Balance Sheet.
Other long-term employee benefits include earnedleaves and employee retention bonus.
The liability for earned leaves is not expected to besettled wholly within twelve months after the end ofthe period in which the employees render the relatedservice. They are therefore measured at the presentvalue of expected future payments to be made inrespect of services provided by employees up tothe end of the reporting period using the projectedunit credit method, with actuarial valuations beingcarried out at the end of each annual reportingperiod. The benefits are discounted using themarket yields at the end of the reporting periodthat have terms approximating to the terms of therelated obligation. Remeasurements as a result ofexperience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss. The obligations are presented asprovisions in the Balance Sheet.
The Company, as a part of retention policy,pays retention bonus to certain employees aftercompletion of specified period of service. Thetiming of the outflows is expected to be within aperiod of five years. They are therefore measuredat the present value of expected future paymentsat the end of each annual reporting period inaccordance with management best estimates. Thiscost is included in employee benefit expense in theStatement of Profit and Loss with correspondingprovisions in the Balance Sheet.
The Company operates the following post¬employment schemes:
• defined benefit plan towards payment ofgratuity; and
• defined contribution plans towards providentfund & employee pension scheme, employeestate insurance and superannuation scheme.
The Company provides for gratuity obligationsthrough a defined benefit retirement plan (the‘Gratuity Plan') covering all employees. The GratuityPlan provides a lump sum payment to vestedemployees at retirement/termination of employment
or death of an employee, based on the respectiveemployees' salary and years of employment withthe Company.
The liability or asset recognised in the BalanceSheet in respect of the defined benefit plan is thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation atthe end of the reporting period less the fair valueof plan assets. The present value of the definedbenefit obligation is determined using projectedunit credit method by discounting the estimatedfuture cash outflows by reference to market yieldsat the end of the reporting period on governmentbonds that have terms approximating to the termsof the related obligation, with actuarial valuationsbeing carried out at the end of each annualreporting period.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying thediscount rate to the net balance of the definedbenefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets.This cost is included in employee benefit expensein the Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurementgains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptionsare recognised in the period in which they occur,directly in Other Comprehensive Income. They areincluded in retained earnings in the statement ofchanges in equity and in the Balance Sheet.
Defined contribution plans are retirement benefitplans under which the Company pays fixedcontributions to separate entities (funds) orfinancial institutions or state managed benefitschemes. The Company has no further paymentobligations once the contributions have been paid.The defined contributions plans are recognisedas employee benefit expense when they are due.Prepaid contributions are recognised as an assetto the extent that a cash refund or a reduction inthe future payments is available.
The Company makes monthly contributionsat prescribed rates towards Employees'Provident Fund/ Employees' Pension Scheme
• those to be measured subsequently at fairvalue (either through Other ComprehensiveIncome, or through profit or loss), and
• those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company'sbusiness model for managing the financial assetsand the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains andlosses will either be recorded in profit or loss orOther Comprehensive Income. For assets in thenature of debt instruments, this will depend onthe business model. For assets in the nature ofequity instruments, this will depend on whetherthe Company has made an irrevocable electionat the time of initial recognition to account forthe equity instrument at fair value through OtherComprehensive Income.
The Company reclassifies debt instruments whenand only when its business model for managingthose assets changes.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures afinancial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of afinancial asset not measured at fair value throughprofit or loss, transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fairvalue through profit or loss are expensed in profitor loss.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instrumentsdepends on the Company's business modelfor managing the asset and the cash flowcharacteristics of the asset. There are threemeasurement categories into which the Companyclassifies its debt instruments:
• Amortised cost: Assets that are held forcollection of contractual cash flows wherethose cash flows represent solely paymentsof principal and interest are measured atamortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt
to a Fund administered and managed by theGovernment of India.
The Company makes prescribed monthlycontributions towards Employees' StateInsurance Scheme.
The Company contributes towards a fundestablished by the Company to providesuperannuation benefit to certain employeesin terms of Group Superannuation Policiesentered into by such fund with the LifeInsurance Corporation of India.
Provision is made for the amount of any dividenddeclared, being appropriately authorised and no longerat the discretion of the Company, on or before the endof the reporting period but not distributed by the end ofthe reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand,other short-term, highly liquid investments with originalmaturities of three month or less that are readilyconvertible into known amount of cash and which aresubject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
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 year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings pershare, the net profit or loss for the year attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average numberof shares outstanding during the year are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in thefollowing measurement categories:
investment that is subsequently measured atamortised cost is recognised in profit or losswhen the asset is derecognised or impaired.Interest income from these financial assetsis recognised using the effective interestrate method.
• Fair value through Other ComprehensiveIncome (FVTOCI): Assets that are heldfor collection of contractual cash flows andfor selling the financial assets, where theassets' cash flows represent solely paymentsof principal and interest, are measured atfair value through Other ComprehensiveIncome (FVTOCI). Movements in the carryingamount are taken through OCI, except for therecognition of impairment gains or losses,interest revenue and foreign exchange gainsand losses which are recognised in Statementof Profit and Loss. When the financial assetis derecognised, the cumulative gain or losspreviously recognised in OCI is reclassifiedfrom equity to profit or loss and recognisedin other gains/(losses). Interest incomefrom these financial assets is included inother income using the effective interestrate method.
Assets that do not meet the criteria foramortised cost or FVTOCI are measured atfair value through profit or loss. A gain or losson a debt investment that is subsequentlymeasured at fair value through profit or lossis recognised in profit or loss and presentednet in the in Statement of Profit and Loss withinother gains/(losses) in the period in which itarises. Interest income from these financialassets is included in other income.
The Company subsequently measures allequity investments at fair value, exceptfor equity investments in subsidiary andjoint venture where the Company has theoption to either measure it at cost or fairvalue. The Company has opted to measureequity investments in subsidiary and jointventure at cost. Where the Company's
management elects to present fair valuegains and losses on equity investments inOther Comprehensive Income, there is nosubsequent reclassification of fair value gainsand losses to profit or loss. Dividends fromsuch investments are recognised in profit orloss as other income when the Company'sright to receive payments is established.
In accordance with Ind AS 109 FinancialInstruments, the Company applies expected creditloss (ECL) model for measurement and recognitionof impairment loss associated with its financialassets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCIdebt instruments.
For trade receivables or any contractual right toreceive cash or another financial asset that resultfrom transactions that are within the scope of IndAS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers, theCompany applies simplified approach permitted byInd AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requiresexpected life time losses to be recognised afterinitial recognition of receivables. For recognitionof impairment loss on other financial assets andrisk exposure, the Company determines whetherthere has been a significant increase in the creditrisk since initial recognition. If credit risk has notincreased significantly, twelve months ECL isused to provide for impairment loss. However,if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetimeECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, creditquality of the instrument improves such that thereis no longer a significant increase in credit risksince initial recognition, then the entity reverts torecognising impairment loss allowance based ontwelve-months ECL.
ECL represents expected credit loss resultingfrom all possible defaults and is the differencebetween all contractual cash flows that are dueto the Company in accordance with the contractand all the cash flows that the entity expectsto receive, discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate. While determining cash flows, cashflows from the sale of collateral held or other creditenhancements that are integral to the contractualterms are also considered.
ECL is determined with reference to historicallyobserved default rates over the expected life ofthe trade receivables and is adjusted for forwardlooking estimates. Note 36 details how theCompany determines expected credit loss.
A financial asset is derecognised only when
• the Company has transferred the rights toreceive cash flows from the financial asset; or
• retains the contractual rights to receive thecash flows of the financial asset, but assumesa contractual obligation to pay the cash flowsto one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, itevaluates whether it has transferred substantiallyall risks and rewards of ownership of the financialasset. In such cases, the financial asset isderecognised. Where the Company has nottransferred substantially all risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset, the financial assetis not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred afinancial asset nor retained substantially all risksand rewards of ownership of the financial asset, thefinancial asset is derecognised if the Company hasnot retained control of the financial asset. Where theCompany retains control of the financial asset, theasset is continued to be recognised to the extentof continuing involvement in the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety,the difference between the asset's carrying amountand the sum of the consideration received andreceivable and the cumulative gain or loss that hadbeen recognised in Other Comprehensive Incomeand accumulated in equity is recognised in profitor loss if such gain or loss would have otherwisebeen recognised in profit or loss on disposal of thatfinancial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other thanin its entirety, the Company allocates the previouscarrying amount of the financial asset betweenthe part it continues to recognise under continuing
involvement, and the part it no longer recogniseson the basis of the relative fair values of those partson the date of the transfer. The difference betweenthe carrying amount allocated to the part that is nolonger recognised and the sum of the considerationreceived for the part no longer recognised andany cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that hadbeen recognised in Other Comprehensive Incomeis recognised in profit or loss if such gain or losswould have otherwise been recognised in profit orloss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulativegain or loss that had been recognised in OtherComprehensive Income is allocated between thepart that continues to be recognised and the partthat is no longer recognised on the basis of therelative fair values of those parts.
The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortised cost of a debt instrumentand of allocating interest income over the relevantperiod. The effective interest rate is the rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cash receiptsthrough the expected life of the financial asset tothe gross carrying amount of a financial asset.When calculating the effective interest rate, theCompany estimates the expected cash flows byconsidering all the contractual terms of the financialinstrument but does not consider the expectedcredit losses. Income is recognised on an effectiveinterest basis for debt instruments other than thosefinancial assets classified as at FVTPL.
Debt and equity instruments issued by theCompany are classified as either financial liabilitiesor as equity in accordance with the substance ofthe contractual arrangements and the definitions ofa financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidencesa residual interest in the assets of the Companyafter deducting all of its liabilities.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities in thefollowing measurement categories:
• t hose to be measured subsequently at fairvalue through profit or loss, and
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPLwhen the financial liability is held for trading or it isdesignated as at FVTPL, other financial liabilitiesare measured at amortised cost at the end ofsubsequent accounting periods.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company arerecognised at the proceeds received. Transactioncost of equity transactions shall be accounted foras a deduction from equity.
At initial recognition, the Company measures afinancial liability at its fair value net of, in the caseof a financial liability not measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss, transaction costs that aredirectly attributable to the issue of the financialliability. Transaction costs of financial liabilitycarried at fair value through profit or loss areexpensed in profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilitiesdepends on the classification of financial liabilities.There are two measurement categories into whichthe Company classifies its financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPLwhen the financial liability is held for tradingor it is designated as at FVTPL. Financialliabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, withany gains or losses arising on remeasurementrecognised in profit or loss.
• Amortised cost: Financial liabilities that arenot held-for-trading and are not designatedas at FVTPL are measured at amortised costat the end of subsequent accounting periods.The carrying amounts of financial liabilitiesthat are subsequently measured at amortisedcost are determined based on the effectiveinterest method. Interest expense that is not
capitalised as part of costs of an asset isincluded in the ‘Finance costs' line item.
Repurchase of the Company's own equityinstruments is recognised and deducted directlyin equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit orloss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation ofthe Company's own equity instruments.
The Company derecognises financial liabilitieswhen, and only when, the Company's obligationsare discharged, cancelled or have expired. Anexchange with a lender of debt instruments withsubstantially different terms is accounted for as anextinguishment of the original financial liability andthe recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly,a substantial modification of the terms of an existingfinancial liability (whether or not attributable to thefinancial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for asan extinguishment of the original financial liabilityand the recognition of a new financial liability.The difference between the carrying amountof the financial liability derecognised and theconsideration paid and payable is recognised inprofit or loss.
The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortised cost of a financial liabilityand of allocating interest expense over the relevantperiod. The effective interest rate is the rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cash paymentsthrough the expected life of the financial liability tothe gross carrying amount of a financial liability.
For financial liabilities that are denominated in aforeign currency and are measured at amortisedcost at the end of each reporting period, the foreignexchange gains and losses are determined basedon the amortised cost of the instruments andare recognised in ‘Other income'. The fair valueof financial liabilities denominated in a foreigncurrency is determined in that foreign currencyand translated at the spot rate at the end of thereporting period.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and thenet amount is reported in the Balance Sheet wherethere is a legally enforceable right to offset therecognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis or realise the asset and settlethe liability simultaneously. The legally enforceableright must not be contingent on future events andmust be enforceable in the normal course ofbusiness and in the event of default, insolvency orbankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
Fair value measurements are categorised into Level1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputsto the fair value measurements are observableand the significance of the inputs to the fair valuemeasurement in its entirety, which are describedas follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted)in active markets for identical assets orliabilities that the Company can access at themeasurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quotedprices included within Level 1, that areobservable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for theasset or liability.
The Company uses derivative financial instrumentsi.e. forward currency contracts to hedge itsforeign currency risks. These derivative financialinstruments are initially recognised at fair value onthe date on which a derivative contract is enteredinto and are subsequently re-measured at fairvalue. Derivatives are carried as financial assetswhen the fair value is positive and as financialliabilities when the fair value is negative.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, the Companyhas classified hedges as Cash flow hedges whereinit hedges the exposure to the variability in cashflows that is either attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or ahighly probable forecast transaction or the foreigncurrency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Companyformally designates and documents the hedgerelationship to which the Company contemplates toapply hedge accounting and the risk managementobjective and strategy for undertaking the hedgein compliance with Company's hedge policy.The documentation includes the company's riskmanagement objective and strategy for undertakinghedge, the hedging/ economic relationship, thehedged item or transaction, the nature of the riskbeing hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity willassess the effectiveness of changes in the hedginginstrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure tochanges in the hedged item's fair value or cashflows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedgesare expected to be highly effective in achievingoffsetting changes in fair value or cash flows andare assessed on an ongoing basis to determinethat they actually have been highly effectivethroughout the financial reporting periods for whichthey were designated. Any hedge ineffectiveness iscalculated and accounted for in Statement of profitor loss at the time of hedge relationship rebalancing.
The effective portion of changes in the fair valueof the hedging instruments is recognised in OtherComprehensive Income and accumulated in thecash flow hedging reserve. Such amounts arereclassified in to the profit or loss when the relatedhedge items affect profit or loss, such as when thehedged financial income or financial expense isrecognised or when a forecast sale occurs. Whenthe hedged item is the cost of a non-financial assetor non-financial liability, the amounts recognised asOCI are transferred to the initial carrying amount ofthe non-financial asset or liability.
Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair valueof the derivative or if the hedging instrument nolonger meets the criteria for hedge accounting,is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Ifthe hedging relationship ceases to meet theeffectiveness conditions, hedge accounting isdiscontinued and the related gain or loss is held
in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasttransaction occurs.
Certain employees of the Company receiveremuneration in the form of share-basedpayments, whereby employees render services asconsideration for equity instruments (equity-settledtransactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determinedby the fair value at the date when the grant is madeusing an appropriate valuation model. Furtherdetails are given in Note 40.
That cost is recognised, together with acorresponding increase in share-based payment(SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which theperformance and/or service conditions are fulfilledin employee benefits expense. The cumulativeexpense recognised for equity-settled transactionsat each reporting date until the vesting date reflectsthe extent to which the vesting period has expiredand the Company's best estimate of the numberof equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Theexpense or credit in the statement of profit and lossfor a period represents the movement in cumulativeexpense recognised as at the beginning and endof that period and is recognised in employeebenefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditionsare not taken into account when determining thegrant date fair value of awards, but the likelihoodof the conditions being met is assessed as partof the Company's best estimate of the number ofequity instruments that will ultimately vest. Marketperformance conditions are reflected within thegrant date fair value. Any other conditions attachedto an award, but without an associated servicerequirement, are considered to be non-vestingconditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected inthe fair value of an award and lead to an immediateexpensing of an award unless there are also serviceand/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do notultimately vest because non-market performanceand/or service conditions have not been met. Whereawards include a market or non-vesting condition,the transactions are treated as vested irrespectiveof whether the market or non-vesting condition issatisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award aremodified, the minimum expense recognised isthe grant date fair value of the unmodified award,provided the original vesting terms of the awardare met. An additional expense, measured as atthe date of modification, is recognised for anymodification that increases the total fair value of theshare-based payment transaction, or is otherwisebeneficial to the employee. Where an award iscancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, anyremaining element of the fair value of the award isexpensed immediately through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflectedas additional share dilution in the computation ofdiluted earnings per share.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in theBalance Sheet based on Current/ Non-Currentclassification considering an operating cycle of 12months being the time elapsed between deploymentof resources and the realisation/ settlement in cashand cash equivalents there against.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA') notifies newstandards or amendments to the existing standardsunder Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Amendment Rules as issued from time to time.The Company applied following amendments forthe first-time which are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 April 2024.

Company's products. The provision represents theamount estimated to meet the cost of such obligationsbased on best estimate considering the historical trends,merits of the case and apportionment of delays betweenthe contracting parties.
(v) Provision for litigations and contingencies
The provision for litigations and contingenciesare determined based on evaluation made by themanagement of the present obligation arising from pastevents the settlement of which is expected to result inoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits,which involves judgements around estimating the
The preparation of financial statements requires the use ofaccounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equalthe actual results. Management also needs to exercisejudgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved ahigher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items whichare more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimatesand assumptions turning out to be different than thoseoriginally assessed.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They arebased on historical experience and other factors, includingexpectations of future events that may have a financial impacton the Company and that are believed to be reasonableunder the circumstances.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future,and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the endof the reporting period that may have a significant risk ofcausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities within the next financial year.
The Company write-downs the inventories to netrealisable value on account of obsolete and slow-movinginventories, which is recognised on case to case basisbased on the management's assessment.
The Company uses following significant judgementsto ascertain value for write-downs of inventories tonet realisable:
a) nature of inventories mainly comprise of iron, steel,forging and casting which are non-perishablein nature;
b) probability of decrease in the realisable value ofslow moving inventory due to obsolesce or nothaving an alternative use is low considering thefact that these can also be used after necessaryengineering modification;
c) maintaining appropriate inventory levels for aftersales services considering the long useful life ofthe product.
Effective April 01, 2024, ageing of inventory has alsobeen included as one of the significant judgement toascertain value for write-downs of inventories, howeverthe inclusion of such judgements did not have a materialimpact on the financial statements for the year.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and other long termemployee benefits and the present value of the obligationthereon are determined using actuarial valuations. Anactuarial valuation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discount rate,future salary increases, attrition and mortality rates.Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and itslong-term nature, obligation amount is highly sensitiveto changes in these assumptions.
The parameter most subject to change is the discountrate. In determining the appropriate discount rate forplans, the management considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds. Future salary increases are basedon expected future inflation rates and expected salarytrends in the industry. Attrition rates are consideredbased on past observable data on employees leavingthe services of the Company. The mortality rate isbased on publicly available mortality tables. Thosemortality tables tend to change only at interval inresponse to demographic changes. See note 32 forfurther disclosures.
The Company, in the usual course of sale of itsproducts, gives warranties on certain products andservices, undertaking to repair or replace the itemsthat fail to perform satisfactorily during the specifiedwarranty period. Provisions made represent theamount of expected cost of meeting such obligationsof rectifications / replacements based on best estimateconsidering the historical warranty claim information andany recent trends that may suggest future claims coulddiffer from historical amounts. The assumptions madein relation to the current period are consistent with thosein the prior years.
It represents the potential liability which may arise fromcontractual obligation towards customers with respectto matters relating to delivery and performance of theultimate outcome of such past events and measurementof the obligation amount.
The useful life and residual value of plant, property andequipment and intangible assets are determined basedon technical evaluation made by the management of theexpected usage of the asset, the physical wear and tearand technical or commercial obsolescence of the asset.Due to the judgements involved in such estimations, theuseful life and residual value are sensitive to the actualusage in future period.
(a) Compensated absences
Compensated absences comprises earned leaves, the liabilities of which are not expected to be settled whollywithin twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They aretherefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services providedby employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuationsbeing carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. The Company presents the compensated absencesas a current liability in the Balance Sheet wherever it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlementbeyond twelve months after the reporting date.
The Company, as a part of retention policy, pays retention bonus to certain employees after completion of specifiedperiod of service. The timing of the outflows is expected to be within a period of five years. They are thereforemeasured as the present value of expected future payments, with management best estimates.
(c) Warranty:
The Company, in the usual course of sale of its products, gives warranties on certain products and services,undertaking to repair or replace the items that fail to perform satisfactorily during the specified warranty period.Provisions made represent the amount of expected cost of meeting such obligations of rectifications / replacementsbased on best estimate considering the historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggestfuture claims could differ from historical amounts.
(a) The Company operates defined contribution retirement benefit plans under which the Company pays fixedcontributions to separate entities (funds) or financial institutions or state managed benefit schemes. The Companyhas no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Following are the schemes coveredunder defined contributions plans of the Company:
Provident Fund Plan and Employee Pension Scheme: The Company makes monthly contributions at prescribedrates towards Employee Provident Fund/ Employee Pension Scheme to fund administered and managed by theGovernment of India.
Employee State Insurance: The Company makes prescribed monthly contributions towards Employees StateInsurance Scheme.
Superannuation Scheme: The Company contributes towards a fund established to provide superannuation benefitto certain employees in terms of Group Superannuation Policies entered into by such fund with the Life InsuranceCorporation of India.
(a) The Company provides for gratuity obligations through a defined benefit retirement plan (the ‘Gratuity Plan') coveringall employees under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vestedemployees at retirement/termination of employment or death of an employee, based on the respective employees'salary and years of employment with the Company.
These plans typically expose the Company to a number of actuarial risks, the most significant of which aredetailed below:
Investment risk: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with references to government bondyields as at end of reporting period; if plan assets under perform compared to the government bonds discountrate, this will create or increase a deficit. The Plan assets comprise principally Group Gratuity Plans offered by thelife insurance companies. Majority of the funds invested are under the traditional platform where the insurancecompanies declare a return at the end of each year based upon its performance. Certain investments are alsomade in funds (growth plans) managed by the life insurance companies under which the returns are based upon theaccretion to the net asset value (NAV) of the particular fund, which are declared on a daily basis. The NAV basedfunds of the insurance companies are approved and regulated by the Insurance Regulatory and DevelopmentAuthority of India and the investment risk is mitigated by investment in funds where the asset allocation is primarilyin sovereign and debt securities. The Company has a risk management strategy which defines exposure limits andacceptable credit risk rating. There has been no change in the process used by the Company to manage its risksfrom prior years.
Interest risk: A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this is expected to bepartially offset by an increase in the value of the plans' debt instruments.
Life expectancy: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the bestestimate of the mortality of plan participants during their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the planparticipants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries ofplan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Attrition rate: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is impacted by the rate of employee turnover,disability and early retirement of plan participants. A decrease in the attrition rate of the plan participants will increasethe plan's liability.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.In practise, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculatingthe sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present valueof the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period)has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methodsand types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior years.
(i) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
The Company expects to contribute ' 68.48 Million to the defined benefit plan during the year ending March31, 2026.
The weighted average duration of the defined obligation as at March 31, 2025 is 7 years.
The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted defined benefit obligation as at March 31, 2025 is as follows:
The remuneration of directors and key executives is determined by the remuneration committee having regard to theperformance of individuals and market trends.
The sales to and purchases from related parties, including rendering / availment of services, are made on terms whichare on arm's length after taking into consideration market considerations, external benchmarks and adjustment thereof,terms of Joint Venture agreement and methodology of sharing common group costs. There has not been any transactionswith key management personnel other than the approved remuneration having regards to the performance and markettrends. The outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. TheCompany has not recorded impairment of receivables relating to amounts owned by related parties (March 31, 2024:Nil).
Remuneration and outstanding balances of KMP does not include long term benefits by way of gratuity and compensatedabsences, which are currently not payable and are provided on the basis of actuarial valuation by the Company. Theperquisite value of ESOP of 13,790 shares vested is included in the remuneration of KMP.
(vi) There are no reportable transactions/balances as required under regulation 34(3) of SEBI (Listing and Other DisclosureRequirements) Regulations, 2015.

The management andthe Board of Directors monitor the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders.
Further, no changes were made in the objectives, policies or process for managing capital during the years ended March31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of trade payable, security deposits, lease liabilities and other financialliabilities. The Company's principal financial assets include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances,FVTPL investments and other financial assets that arise from its operations. The Company has substantial exports and isexposed to foreign currencies fluctuations during the contractual delivery period which is normally in the range of one year.therefore the Company enters into hedging transactions to cover foreign exchange exposure.
The Company's activities expose it mainly to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The monitoring and management ofsuch risks is undertaken by the senior management of the Company and there are appropriate policies and procedures inplace through which such financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policiesand risk objectives. The Company has specialized teams to undertake derivative activities for risk management purposes andsuch team has appropriate skills, experience and expertise. It is the Company policy not to carry out any trading in derivativefor speculative purposes. The Audit Committee and the Board are regularly apprised of such risks every quarter and eachsuch risk and mitigation measures are extensively discussed.
Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations to pay resulting in financial loss to theCompany. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables and unbilledrevenue. The credit risks in respect of deposits with the banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financialinstruments are only nominal.
The customer credit risk is managed subject to the Company's established policy, procedure and controls relatingto customer credit risk management. In order to contain the business risk, prior to acceptance of an order froma customer, the creditworthiness of the customer is ensured through scrutiny of its financials, status of financialclosure of the project, if required, market reports and reference checks. The Company remains vigilant and regularlyassesses the financial position of customers during execution of contracts with a view to limit risks of delays anddefault. Further, in most of the cases, the Company prescribes stringent payment terms including ensuring fullpayments or security of Letter of Credit/Guarantee before delivery of goods. Retention amounts, if applicable, arepayable after satisfactory commissioning and performance. In view of the industry practice and being in a positionto prescribe the desired commercial terms, credit risks from receivables are well contained on an overall basis.
* March 31, 2025: Receivable individually in excess of 10% of the total receivables pertains to the receivablestowards supply of turbine to single customer. The Company has managed to minimize the credit risk to the Companyby securing against Letter of Credit.
From the above table, it can be observed that the concentration of risk in respect of trade receivables is well spreadout and moderate. Further, its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largelyindependent markets.
Basis as explained above, apart from specific provisioning against impairment on an individual basis for majorcustomers, the Company provides for expected credit losses (ECL) for other receivables based on historical dataof losses, current conditions and forecasts and future economic conditions, including loss of time value of moneydue to delays. In view of the business model of the Company, engineered-to-order products and the prescribedcommercial terms, the determination of provision based on age analysis may not be a realistic and hence, theprovision of expected credit loss is determined for the total trade receivables outstanding as on the reporting date.Considering all such factors, ECL (net of specific provisioning) for trade receivables as at year end worked outas follows:
The net carrying value, security and ageing of trade receivable is considered a reasonable approximation ofexposures and analysis relating to the allowance for ECL.
Fixed deposits, investment in mutual funds are made in accordance with the Board approved investment policy ofthe company. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved AMC's and Banks having a good marketreputation and within limits assigned. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks.
The Company uses liquidity forecast tools to manage its liquidity. As per the business model of the Company, therequirement of working capital is not intensive. The Company is able to substantially fund its working capital fromadvances from customers and from internal accruals and hence, there is no requirement of funding through borrowings.In view of free cash flows, the Company has even been able to fund substantial capital expenditure from internal accruals.
The Company is debt free as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, hence there is no interest rate risks. Even withrespect to investments in mutual funds, the impact of interest rate risk is nominal as the investment is carried in liquid orsubstantially liquid funds. The Company is essentially exposed to currency risks as export sales forms substantial partof the total sales of the Company. While the Company is mainly exposed to US Dollars, the Company also deals in othercurrencies, such as, Euro, GBP etc.
The cycle from booking order to collection extends to about a year and the Company is exposed to foreign exchangefluctuation risks during this period. As a policy, the Company remains substantially hedged through forward exchangecontracts or other simple structures. It considerably mitigates the risk and the Company is also benefitted in view ofincidental forward premium. The policy of substantial hedging insulates the Company from the exchange rate fluctuationand the impact of sensitivity is nominal.
