Provisions are recognised only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, it is probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when areliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewedat each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of theCompany; or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when inflow of economic benefits is probable, related asset isdisclosed.
XIX. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstandingduring the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjustedfor events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjustedfor the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Potential ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shareswould decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid tothe taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted orsubstantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss(either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Management periodically evaluates positions taken inthe tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation andestablishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised in full for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assetsare recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss, unused tax credits (Minimumalternate tax credit entitlement) or deductible temporary difference will be utilised against future taxableincome. This is assessed based on the Company's forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significantnon-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Unrecogniseddeferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has becomeprobable that future taxable profits will allow deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when theasset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction
either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to theextent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differencescan be utilised.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either inother comprehensive income or in equity).
Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent it is probable thatthe Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which MAT credit becomeseligible to be recognized as an asset, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit andLoss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date andwrites down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent it is not probable that the Companywill pay normal income tax during the specified period.
While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to beconsidered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending upon the nature andcircumstances of each uncertain tax position.
XXI. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term depositswith an original maturity of three months or less.
XXII. Dividend payment
A final dividend, including tax thereon, on equity shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by theshareholders. An interim dividend, including tax thereon, is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration bythe Board of directors.
XXIII. Government grants
Income includes export and other recurring and non-recurring incentives from Government (referred as"incentives'). Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to an entityin return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.The Company is entitled to subsidies from government in respect of manufacturing units located in specifiedregions.
Government grants are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply withthe relevant conditions and the grant will be received. These are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,either on a systematic basis when the Company recognises, as expenses, the related costs that the grants areintended to compensate or, immediately if the costs have already been incurred.
Government grants related to assets are deferred and amortised over the useful life of the asset. Governmentgrants related to income are presented as an offset against the related expenditure, and government grantsthat are awarded as incentives with no ongoing performance obligations to the Company are recognised asincome in the period in which the grant is received. Government grant in form of subsidy for unit at Chittoor,Andhra Pradesh is awarded as incentive to the Company, and is recognised as income in the period in whichthe grant is accrued and there is no uncertainty of collection.
XXIV. Segment reporting
In accordance with Ind AS 108, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified onthe basis of internal reports used by the Company's management to allocate resources to the segments andassess their performance. The Board of Directors is collectively the Company's 'Chief Operating Decision Maker'or 'CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108. The indicators used for internal reporting purposes may evolve inconnection with performance assessment measures put in place.
XXV. Supply chain financing arrangement
Includes amount payable to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise vendors through TReDS portal for thefinancing facility availed by the Company. Under these facilities, the third party shall pay the amount on behalfof the Company and the Company shall pay the third party on the due date along with interest. As the facilityprovided by the third party is within the credit period provided by the customer, the outstanding liability hasbeen disclosed under 'other financial liabilities'.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset arecapitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intendeduse. Borrowing costs consist of interest calculated using the effective interest method that an entity incursin connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extentregarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
XXVII. Use of estimates and judgement
The following are the critical judgments and the key estimates concerning the future that management hasmade in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that may have the most significanteffect on the amounts recognised in the financial Statements or that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
a. Useful lives of depreciable/ amortisable assets: Management reviews its estimate of the useful livesof depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets.Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change theutility of assets.
b. Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets: The evaluation of applicability of indicators ofimpairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result indeterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
c. Allowance for expected credit loss: The allowance for expected credit loss reflects management'sestimate of losses inherent in its credit portfolio. This allowance is based on Company's estimate of thelosses to be incurred, which derives from past experience with similar receivables, current and historicalpast due amounts, dealer termination rates, write-offs and collections, the careful monitoring of portfoliocredit quality and current and projected economic and market conditions. Should the present economicand financial situation persist or even worsen, there could be a further deterioration in the financialsituation of the Company's debtors compared to that already taken into consideration in calculating theallowances recognised in the financial statements.
d. Allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory: The allowance for obsolete and slow-movinginventory reflects management's estimate of the expected loss in value and has been determined on thebasis of past experience and historical and expected future trends in the used vehicle market. A worseningof the economic and financial situation could cause a further deterioration in conditions compared to thattaken into consideration in calculating the allowances recognized in the financial statements.
e. Contingent liabilities: The Company is the subject of legal proceedings and tax issues covering a rangeof matters, which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, itis difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against the Company oftenraise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, includingbut not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and thedifferences in applicable law. In the normal course of business management consults with legal counseland certain other experts on matters related to litigation and taxes. The Company accrues a liability whenit is determined that an adverse outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonablyestimated.
f. Provisions: At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legalaspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingentliabilities. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.
g. Leases: Ind AS 116 defines a lease term as the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the rightto use an underlying asset including optional periods, when an entity is reasonably certain to exercise anoption to extend (or not to terminate) a lease. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstancesthat create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option when determining the lease term.The option to extend the lease term is included in the lease term, if it is reasonably certain that the lesseewould exercise the option. The Company reassesses the option when significant events or changes incircumstances occur that are within the control of the lessee.
h. Income Taxes: The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimatingbudgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes,including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions (refer note 34). The extentto which deferred tax assets/minimum alternate tax credit can be recognized is based on management'sassessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets/minimumalternate tax credit can be utilized.
i. Defined benefit obligations (DBO): Management's estimate of the DBO is based on a number of criticalunderlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation offuture salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and theannual defined benefit expenses.
j. Fair value measurements
Management applies valuation techniques to determine fair value of financial instruments (where activemarket quotes are not available) and stock option. This involves developing estimates and assumptionsaround volatility, dividend yield which may affect the value of equity shares or stock options.
k. Recoverability of advances/ receivables:
At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the managementassesses the expected credit losses on outstanding receivables and advances.
(a) Security premium
The security premium is the amount paid by shareholder over and above the face value of equity share. Securitypremium can be utilised as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
The general reserve is created on transfer of profits from retained earnings. General reserve is created by transfer fromone component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income.
(c) Retained earnings
Retained earnings represents surplus in Statement of Profit and Loss.
(d) Cash flow hedging reserve
The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in fairvalue of designated portion of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges. Such gains or losses will bereclassified to statement of profit and loss in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs.
1. First pari-passu charge over the entire current assets of the Company including raw material, stock-in-trade,finished goods including stocks-in-transit and those lying in godowns, ports, etc and book debts (both presentand future).

A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional upon passageof time. Trade receivable are presented net of impairment (if any) in the Balance Sheet. Further, impairment of badand doubtful debts has been created based on expected credit loss method as prescribed in Ind AS 109. Refernote 41 for details of expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach.
* Certain amounts that are required to be disclosed and do not appear due to rounding-off are expressed as "0.00”.
# Investment in subsidiaries (including partnership firms and LLP) are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27, 'Separatefinancial statements' and hence, not presented here. Further, investment in mutual funds are measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss and investment in bonds at amortised cost.
B Fair values hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above has been classified into three categoriesdepending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs;and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined inwhole or in part using a net asset value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by pricesfrom observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
The management has opted for designating the derivative assets and derivative liabilities to classify as fair value throughprofit or loss as the respective gain/(loss) on the original asset/liabitiy is routed through the statement of profit and loss,therefore, the management intends to classify these derivate assets and derivative liabilities through profit or loss.
i. The fair value of investments in quoted equity shares and mutual funds (level 1) is based on the current bid priceof respective investment as at the balance sheet date. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV basedon the statements received from investee parties.
ii. The Company enters into commodity contracts with financial institutions for hedging price risk of lead arisingfrom its import and export. Fair values of such contracts (level 2) are determined based on observable rates ofthe commodity for similar contracts for the remaining maturity on the balance sheet date. The valuation of suchinstruments is carried out through the rates (marked to market) confirmed by the respective banks as at thebalance sheet date.
iii. There are no financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Fair value of instruments measured at amortised cost for which fair value is disclosed is as follows, these fair values are
calculated using Level 3 inputs:
The management assessed that fair values of current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,trade receivables, short term borrowings, loans, trade payables, current lease liabilities and other current financialliabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is disclosed at the amount at which the instrument could be exchangedin a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods andassumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i. Non-current loans and non-current financial liabilities are evaluated by the Company based on parameters suchas interest rates, individual creditworthiness of the counterparty/borrower and other market risk factors.
ii. The fair values of the Company's fixed interest-bearing liabilities, loans and receivables are determined by applyingdiscounted cash flows ('DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end ofthe reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March 31,2025 was assessed to be insignificant.
iii. All the other long term borrowing/ short term borrowing facilities availed by the Company are variable ratefacilities, and are subject to changes in underlying interest rate indices. Further, the credit spread on these facilitiesare subject to change with changes in Company's creditworthiness. The management believes that the currentrate of interest on these loans are in close approximation from market rates applicable to the Company. Therefore,the management estimates that the fair value of these borrowings are approximate to their respective carryingvalues.
The Company's risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (of the Company) under policies approvedby the board of directors. The board of directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policiescovering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Company. The Company's exposure tocredit risk is influenced mainly by loans, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, derivative financial instrumentsand other financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers andother counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.
(a) Credit risk management
The Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performedfor each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings toeach class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
(i) Low credit risk
(ii) Moderate credit risk
(iii) High credit risk
Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered whenthe counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaultsare based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economicconditions.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or alitigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are writtenoff and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banksand diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks across the country.
Derivative financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk since the contracts are with reputable financialinstitutions.
Trade receivables are generally unsecured and non-interest bearing. There is no significant concentration of creditrisk. The Company's credit risk management policy in relation to trade receivables involves periodically assessing thefinancial reliability of customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Theutilization of credit limit is regularly monitored. The Company's credit risk is mainly confined to the risk of customersdefaulting against credit sales made. Outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored by credit monitoringCompany. The Company has also taken advances from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. Inrespect of trade receivables, the Company recognises an impairment for lifetime expected credit losses after evaluatingthe individual probabilities of default of its customers which are duly based on the inputs received from the marketingteams of the Company.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes loans to others, loans to employees, security deposits,investment in bonds and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring therecoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system are in place ensure theamounts are within defined limits.
(b) Expected credit losses for financial assets
(i) Financial assets (other than trade receivables)
Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets other than trade receivables by assessing individualfinancial instruments for expectation of any credit losses.
For cash & cash equivalents, other bank balances and derivative financial instruments - Since the Companydeals with only high-rated banks and financial institutions, credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, derivativefinancial instruments, other bank balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low.
For security deposits paid - Credit risk is considered low because the Company is in possession of the underlyingasset.
For other financial assets - Credit risk is evaluated based on Company knowledge of the credit worthiness of thoseparties and loss allowance is measured. For such financial assets, the Company policy is to provide for 6 month expectedcredit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in creditrisk.
The tables below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractualmaturities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equaltheir carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant:
(a) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of its business. Multiple currency exposuresarise from commercial transactions like sales, purchases, borrowings, recognized financial assets and liabilities(monetary items). Certain transactions of the Company act as natural hedge as a portion of both assets and liabilitiesare denominated in similar foreign currencies. For the remaining exposure to foreign exchange risk, the Companyadapts the policy of selective hedging based on risk perception of management. Foreign exchange hedging contractsare carried at fair value. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies which are notstated below is not material. Foreign currency exposures that are not hedged by derivative instruments outstanding ason the balance sheet date are as under:
The Company uses derivative financial instruments exclusively for hedging financial risks that arise from its commercialbusiness or financing activities. The Company's Corporate Treasury team manages its foreign currency risk by hedgingtransactions that are expected to occur within 12 to 15 months for hedges of forecasted sales, purchases and capitalexpenditures. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms ofthose derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure. For hedges of forecast transactions the derivatives coverthe period of exposure from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement ofthe resulting receivable or payable that is denominated in the foreign currency. All identified exposures are managedas per the policy duly approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company exposure to price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either as fair valuethrough other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage the price risk arising frominvestments, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets. There are investments in mutual funds which are measuredat fair value through profit and loss.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reservesattributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company when managing capitalis to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximizeshareholder value.
As at March 31,2025, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain orachieve an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment intobusiness based on its long term financial plans. The Company's management reviews the capital structure of the Companyon a periodic basis. As part of review, the management considers the cost of capital and risk associated with each classof capital. The Company also evaluates its gearing measures like Debt Equity Ratio, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, InterestService Coverage Ratio, Debt to EBIDTA Ratio to arrive at an appropriate level of debt and accordingly evolve its capitalstructure. Gearing ratio has changed significantly on account of payment of borrowings due to utilization of fund fromqualified institutional placement ("QIP").
Earned leaves - Long term leaves includes earned leaves. These have been provided on accrual basis, based on yearend actuarial valuation.
(ii) Defined benefits plans
The employees' gratuity fund scheme managed by a trust namely 'Gravita India Limited Employees Gratuity Trust' isdefined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to the employees at the time of separationfrom the service on completion of vested year of employment i.e. five years. The liability of gratuity plan is determinedbased on actuarial valuation as at the end of each financial year using the Projected Unit Credit Method, whichrecognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measures eachunit separately to build up the final obligation.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, salary risk, interest rate risk andlongevity risk.
Investment Risk - The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particularinvestment.
Salary Risk - The present value of defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of planparticipants in future. Deviation in rate of increase in salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase insalary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
Interest Risk - The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in anincrease in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in value of the liability.
Longevity Risk - The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate ofthe mortality of plan participants both during and after employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the planparticipants will increase the plans liability.
During the previous year ended March 31,2024, 380,500 shares of face value of Rs. 2 each of the Company, held by theGravita Employee Welfare Trust ('the Trust'), had been sold in the open market and the proceeds from the sale of such shares,net of liability payable by the Trust, would be utilised for the welfare of the employees of the Group as per the requirementof the Trust Deed. The Company had no legal right or control towards the utilization of funds as accumulated in the Trustby sale of its investment in the open market. The Trust being an independent entity has sole responsibility / obligation toutilize the fund for the welfare of beneficiaries (employees) as per the terms of the trust deed. Ind AS 32 'Financial Statements- Presentation' requires that no gain or loss shall be recognised in profit or loss on the purchases, sale, issue or cancellationof treasury shares held by the entity or by other entities of the consolidated group. Any gain or loss on such treasury sharesshall be recognised directly in other equity. Since, the shares of the Company are held by the Trust which is an independententity, the said Ind AS 32 is not applicable to the Company. Ind AS 102 'Share-based payment' requires an entity to reflect inits profit or loss and financial position, the effects of share-based payment transactions, including expenses associated withthe transactions in which share options are granted to employees.
During the previous year ended March 31,2024, the Gravita Stock Appreciation Rights Scheme, 2017 (the 'Scheme') hadbeen terminated. Post termination of the Scheme, the Trust has no obligation to make payment under any share- basedpayment scheme. The Trust will act independently and make distribution/usage of fund as per the purpose defined in thetrust deed. For the aforesaid reason, the management of the Company is of the view that distribution/utilisation for theemployee benefits, equivalent to appreciation, net of liability of Trust, if any, received by the Trust by selling the investmentin the open market amounting to Rs. 20.67 crores, would not be recognized in Company's standalone financial results, as thetransaction was not covered under Ind AS 102. The Company believes that all the appreciation on sale of such shares by theTrust pertains to the employees of the Company and will be utilised for the welfare of the employees by the Trust and therewould not be any impact on the standalone financial statements for the previous year ended March 31,2024. Based on theindependent legal opinion and its assessment, management of the Company is of the view that accounting treatment hadbeen done appropriately in the standalone financial statements for the previous year ended March 31,2024.
The Employee Welfare Trust has sold 101 shares of the Company in the open market during the year ended March 31,2025.

Trade payables as at March 31,2025 include amounts aggregating to Rs 144.81 crores respectively, situated outside India.Out of this aforesaid, trade payables amounting to Rs. 6.20 crores are pending for more than 180 days. These balances areunder settlement with AD Bank under the regulations of Reserve Bank of India. Based on the information available till date,the management does not expect any adverse consequences to the Company.
During the financial year ended March 31,2025, the Company was subject to a scam, wherein a person impersonating asa legitimate vendor used sophisticated deceptive communication and digital attacks to divert funds amounting to Rs. 2.43crores into a fraudulent bank account. The matter was reported to the Cyber Crime Cell and a FIR had been lodged.

On the basis of the internal investigation, the management of the Company has ruled out involvement of any officeror employee of the Company. The Company has also provided for such amounts in its standalone financial statements forthe year ended March 31, 2025.
As per transfer pricing legislation under section 92 - 92F of the Income -tax Act, 1961, the Company is required to use certainspecific methods in computing arm's length price of international transactions with associated enterprises and maintaindocumentation in this respect. Since law requires existence of such information and documentation to be contemporaniousin nature, the Company has updated the Transfer Pricing study to ensure that the transactions with associate enterprisesundertaken are at "Arms length basis” Based on the preliminary study and assessment for the current year, the managementis of the view that the same would not have a material impact on these standalone financial statements.
