Dear Shareholders,
I am writing to you today to share my thoughts on the 65th year of Hind Rectifiers Limited. It has been a remarkable
journey for our company, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together.
When Hirect was founded in 1958, the world was a very different place. The transistor had only recently been
invented, and power electronics was in its infancy. But our founders had a vision for the future, and they set out to
build a company that would help to shape it.
In an era of rapid technological advancements and disruptive forces, we have embraced change as an opportunity
for growth. We have expanded our horizons, diversified our portfolio, and fortified our position in existing markets
while venturing into new ones.
Our focus on research and development, coupled with a customer-centric approach, has enabled us to create
cutting-edge solutions that cater to the ever evolving needs of our customers.
Today, I stand before you with immense pride, knowing that Hirect has not only weathered storms but has
emerged stronger, more resilient, and poised for a future filled with boundless opportunities.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our shareholders for their support over the years. I would also like
to thank our employees, past and present, for their hard work and dedication. You are the heart and soul of Hirect,
because of whom, everything we have done until now, has been possible.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
Warm regards,
Pradeep Goyal
Chairman, Hind Rectifiers Ltd.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Company’s major business continues with Indian Railways with strong legacy and brand image. Technology-based
products for Locomotives & Coaches continue as major strength of the Company’s business operations.
Although the primary customer continues to be Indian Railways, however, the Company is putting increased focus on
developing new products for private rolling stock manufacturers, and Industrial sector by upgrading and expanding existing
product lines, besides growth of new business for the European market through marketing operations from Sweden.
Industrial business is likely to be increased considering the growth anticipated in various international and domestic projects
in power sector & also infrastructure development planned by the Government of India. The Company has been certified for
Aerospace standards, and registered with Defence organizations, and which is likely to bring a additional revenue stream in
coming years.
There is a good mix of SMEs, Large Companies and multinationals players in the market for our various product lines.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND NEW PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT
The Company has concentrated on the development of infrastructure for larger production volume for existing products and
manufacturing facilities for new product development like Propulsion Systems, Traction Motors, Transformers, HVAC
systems and Battery Chargers.
Considering the addition of new plant and products, the focus on securing plant approvals, and launching new products will
be a main focus for the Company.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
The Company has a strong brand and leadership position in the market for the equipment’s of 3Ph locomotives and LHB
coaches along with the pollution control and environmental protection equipment with updated technology.
While opportunities are emerging with new developments in the Railway segment backed by enormous resources of in-
house R&D coupled with new manufacturing facility, Company can take lead considering the brand name and leadership
position in the market, however, increased number of competitors and fall in price is a threat for existing product lines.
The Company being an established supplier and with the strong brand name in both industrial and railway sectors, market
penetration for any new product is possible with existing and new customers.
Development of new products in a shorter period and competing with a larger player, who is having technology from their
parent Company, remains a challenge.
OUTLOOK
The government has aggressively increased Electric Locomotive production, electrification of new routes, and modernization
of Railway facilities which has increased market demand. However railways is introducing more Distributed Power Rolling
Stock (DPRS) like Vande Bharat Trains, and also private manufacturers of rolling stock for which the Company will have to
adapt and develop new design of equipment as well.
RISK AND CONCERNS
Regular products required by Railways are witnessing increased competition in the market with falling selling prices in the
reverse auction due to the recent policies of Railways during the current year is a big concern. This is seriously affecting our
plans and have to rely more on new developments to compensate the revenue loss.
Some product lines in the Industrial segment are also affected with the increased competition from the unorganized sector
with shrinking margins. Delayed payment inflows from Railways have led to increase in working capital and very
conservative financial support from Banks for completion of development activities and expansion of business volume remain
matter of concern. Current global shortage of semiconductors & electronic components is also affecting our ability to meet On
Time In Full (OTIF) deliveries.

SEGMENT WISE / PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

The Company operates in a single segment i.e. engineering goods yet we have undertaken diversification of end products
through intensive in-house R&D facilities for different applications.
The Company has broadened its product mix for Indian Railways targeting all the segments of 3 Phase Locos, and Coaches
and has been listed for approvals to establish more business opportunities. New product developments by in-house R&D are a
planned strategy for improving the Railway segment.
Our specialized products for specific applications in Pollution control, Electroplating, and Electrochemical industries are well
stabilized in the industrial segment. Our capability of making custom-built designs is an added advantage for our brand.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS & THEIR ADEQUACY
The Company continues to follow an effective system of internal control ensuring the accurate, reliable, and timely
preparation of accounting information, securing the assets and interests of the Company with due compliance with various
laws and regulations. Internal audits and checks are ongoing processes within the Company.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The company’s financial performance during the year was adversely affected due to reduction in turnover, higher material
cost ratio and increased finance cost.
Considering the plan of Indian Railway & improved inquiry from industrial sector Company expects an improved performance
for the upcoming year.
DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES / INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
The Company recognizes that Human Resources are an extremely important and critical and long-term investment. The
Company’s top management honours the dignity of each individual irrespective of the position and highly values the feelings
and emotions of the people. Industrial relations with the Union are cordial and peaceful. The Company has made all efforts to
retain competent talent with a focus on training.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud
is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue
as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind AS financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.

(xviii) There has been no resignation of the statutory auditors of the Company during the year.
(xix) On the basis of the financial ratios, ageing and expected dates of realisation of financial assets and payment of financial
liabilities, other information accompanying the financial statements and our knowledge of the Board of Directors and
Management plans and based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to
our attention, which causes us to believe that any material uncertainty exists as on the date of the audit report
indicating that Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the date of balance sheet as and when they
fall due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however, state that this is not an assurance as to
the future viability of the Company. We further state that our reporting is based on the facts up to the date of the audit
report and we neither give any guarantee nor any assurance that all liabilities falling due within a period of one year
from the balance sheet date, will get discharged by the Company as and when they fall due.
(xx) (a) There are no unspent amounts towards Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) on otherthan ongoing projects
requiring a transfer to a Fund specified in Schedule VII to the Companies Act, 2013 in compliance with second
proviso to sub-section (5) of Section 135 of the said Act. Accordingly, reporting under clause 3(xx)(a) of the Order
is not applicable for the year.
(b) There is no unspent CSR amount as on the March 31, 2023. Accordingly, reporting under clause 3(xx)(b) of the
Order is not applicable for the year.

ANNEXURE – ‘B’ TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report to the
Members of Hind Rectifiers Limited of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”)

(Referred to in paragraph 2(i) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report to the Members
of Hind Rectifiers Limited of even date)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of “Hind Rectifiers Limited” ("the Company") as of
March 31, 2023, in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year
ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds
and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an
audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and
the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if
such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a
material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that

70
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Financial
Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of
the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion
or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the
risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over
financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the internal control over financial reporting
criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known / materialised.

is treated as current when it is:
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle.
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.

[Link]

between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.
d) Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of manufactured goods & rendering of services.
The Company has adopted Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers with effect from 1st April 2018.
The Company’s obligation to repair and replace faulty products under standard warranty terms is recognised as a
provision.
Sale of Products
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied by transfer of promised
goods or services to a customer. Customers obtain control as per the terms of the respective contracts.
Performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point in time.
The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which entity expects it to be entitled in exchange for transferring
goods or services to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party. The entity includes variable
consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable
consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when
the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Invoices are issued according to contractual terms and are usually payable as per the credit period agreed with the
customer.
Amounts disclosed in the revenue excludes GST.
Sale of services
Services rendered include Repairing and Servicing, AMC and Erectioning and Commissioning services.
Invoices are issued according to contractual terms and are usually payable as per the credit period agreed with the
customer.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised over time as the customer receives the benefit of the company’s
performance and the company has an enforceable right to payment for services transferred.
Unbilled revenue represents value of services performed in accordance with the contract terms but not billed.
Revenue related to fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Company is standing ready to
provide services is recognised based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight lined over the period of performance.
The Company is generally the principal as it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the
customer.
Significant judgments are used in:
a. Determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time. Revenue
recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation.
b. Determining the expected losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probable based
on the expected total contract cost as at the reporting date.
c. Determining the method to be applied to arrive at the variable consideration requiring an adjustment to the
transaction price.

78
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

Revenue includes adjustments made towards liquidated damages and variation wherever applicable. Escalation and
other claims, which are not ascertainable / acknowledged by customers are not taken into account.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied by transfer of promised
goods or services to a customer.
In all other cases, performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point in time.
The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which entity expects it to be entitled in exchange for transferring
goods or services to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party. The entity includes variable
consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable
consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when
the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Interest income
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
Export Incentives
Export incentives receivable under various schemes are accounted on accrual basis.

developing regions. The Company accounts for it's entitlement as income on accrual basis.
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received upon the Company
complying with the conditions attached to the grant. If the government grants are by way of financial assistance on the
basis of certain qualifying criteria are recognised as they become receivable.
Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs incurred by the
Company.
In the unlikely event that a grant previously recognised is ultimately not received, it is treated as a change in estimate and
the amount cumulatively recognised is expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
e) Taxes
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in
the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and
items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted, by the end of the reporting period.
Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities
are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

79
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner
in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and
the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax
paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the company intends to settle the asset and
liability on a net basis.
f) Property, Plant and Equipment
Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated
in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not
depreciated.
Properties in the course of construction for production or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised
impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees, administrative and other general overhead expenses and, for qualifying
assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Such properties are classified
to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation
of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended
use.
The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable taxes), any costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the
manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any, and, borrowing cost for
qualifying assets (i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use).
PPE is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be
measured reliably. PPE not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-
progress.
Other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under
construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives,
residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes
in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of
property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset and is recognised in statement of profit or loss.

80
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment over the useful life in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of
the Companies Act, 2013 and management believe that useful life of assets are same as those prescribed in Scehdule II
to the Act.
Depreciation charge for impaired assets is adjusted in future periods in such a manner that the revised carrying amount
of the asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.
Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is
different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such
asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.
Depreciation on additions to / deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use.
g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately or developed in-house are carried at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
The useful life of an intangible asset is considered finite where the rights to such assets are limited to a specified period of
time by contract or law or the likelihood of technical, technological obsolescence or commercial obsolescence. If, there
are no such limitations, the useful life is taken to be indefinite. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not
amortized.
Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives by the straight line method .
The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any
changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets representing
a. cost of software capitalised is amortised over its useful life which is estimated to be a period of five years.
b. cost of technical knowhow and product development capitalised are amortised over its useful life which is
estimated to be a period of seven years.
The useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if a reset of such useful life is required for assets
with finite lives and to confirm that business circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for
assets so classified.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal.
Gains or losses on de-recognition are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in
profit or loss under other expenses / other income.
Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:
1. The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
2. The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
3. The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
4. The manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible
assets;
5. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell
the intangible asset; and
6. The Company has ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its
development. Development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is expensed in the period in which it is
incurred.

h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs
also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
I) Inventories
Cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and conditions. Taxes which are subsequently recoverable from
taxation authorities are not included in the cost.
i) Raw material is valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower. Cost is calculated by applying the weighted
average method.
ii) Work in progress, Finished Goods and Stock-in-Trade are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower.
iii) Scrap is valued at estimated selling price.
iv) Stores and Spares are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Tools and Instruments are valued at book value.
Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are identified from time to time and, where necessary, a provision is
made for such inventories.
j) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre tax
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:
(i) a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation; and
(ii) a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will
be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a
reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
When the possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,
no provision is made.
k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits.

l) Employee Benefits
i) Short Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are recognised in the period in which
the employee renders the related service.
ii) Post Employment / Retirement Benefits
Defined Contribution plan
• Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme established under State Plan. The contributions to the
scheme are charged to Profit & Loss Account in the year when the contributions to the funds are due.
• Superannuation Fund is a defined contribution scheme and contribution to the scheme are charged to the Profit
& Loss Account in the year when contributions are made in respect of employees covered under the scheme.
The scheme is funded with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Defined Benefit plan
• The present value of the obligation under defined benefit retirement (gratuity) plan, is determined based on an
actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the end of each year. In the case of gratuity, which is funded,
the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to
recognise the obligation on net basis.
• The liability in respect of employees is provided and contributed to Life Insurance Corporation of India under
Group Gratuity (Cash Accumulation) Scheme except;
a) In case of Managing Director and CEO and Executive Director, Gratuity liability, is provided in accordance
with the terms of appointment.
b) In case of Nashik and Dehradun Division it is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation.
c) Employees working in Sweden office are not covered under this scheme as they are covered by the social
security tax scheme as per Sweden laws.
Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan
assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any excluding interest), are recognized immediately
in other comprehensive income.
iii) Other Long Term Employee Benefits
The Company has other long term employee benefits in the form of Leave Encashment. The liability in respect of
Leave Encashment is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of the financial year. The
aforesaid Leave Encashment is not funded.
Actuarial gains / losses are recognised immediately to the Statement of Profit and Loss account.
iv) Termination Benefits
Compensation to employees who have opted for retirement under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme and
termination of services of the employees by the Company is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss account in
the year on actual basis.
m) Research and Development
Research and Development expenditure of revenue nature is charged to revenue and capital expenditure is treated as
fixed assets.
Expenses incurred till the research phase are charged in the statement of profit and loss whereas the expenses for the
development phase are capitalised as Intangible assets on completion of certain conditions.

n) Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

1) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing
rates of exchange at the reporting date.
2) Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit
and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on
foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets
which are capitalised as cost of assets.
3) Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using the
exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured.
4) In case of an asset, expense or income where a non-monetary advance is paid/received, the date of transaction is
the date on which the advance was initially recognised. If there were multiple payments or receipts in advance,
multiple dates of transactions are determined for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
o) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed to be considered as at the beginning of the period unless issued at a later
date.
p) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising
from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically
exempt from this requirement.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other
expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal company classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
A sale is considered as highly probable when decision has been made to sell, assets are available for immediate sale in its
present condition, assets are being actively marketed and sale has been agreed or is expected to be concluded within 12
months of the date of classification.
Non-current assets held for sale are neither depreciated nor amortised.
q) Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a noncash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and
item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing
and financing activities are segregated.
Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents shall be excluded from a
statement of cash flows. Such transactions shall be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements in a way that
provides all the relevant information about these investing and financing activities.

84

r) Provision for Warranty

The Company typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by
law. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets. In certain contracts, the Company provides warranty for an extended period of time and includes
rectification of defects that existed at the time of sale and are normally bundled together with the main contract. Such
bundled contracts include two performance obligations because the promises to transfer the goods and services and the
provision of service-type warranty are capable of being distinct. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a
portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as a liability. Revenue is
recognised over the period in which the service-type warranty is provided on a basis appropriate to the nature of the
contract and services to be rendered.
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised annually.
s) Impairment of assets
As at the end of each financial year, the carrying amounts of PPE, investment property, intangible assets are reviewed to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists,
PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any.
Intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year. Impairment loss is recognised when the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
(i) in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use; and
(ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash
flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use.
The amount of value-in-use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of
an asset, which may vary based on the future performance of the Company and from its disposal at the end of its useful
life. For this purpose, the discount rate (pre-tax) is determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of the
company suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset.
If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or
cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit)
in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
t) Leases
Assets taken on lease are accounted as right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liability is recognised at the
lease commencement date.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the Company’s
incremental borrowing rate.
The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Interest on lease liability is recognised using the effective interest method.
The right-of-use asset is measured by applying cost model i.e. right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation
and cumulative impairment, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset

85
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If
that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability,
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any
reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognises
the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and
statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification.
u) Share based Payment
Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value
of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a
corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of
equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expenses reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding
adjustment to the Share Based Payments Reserve.
v) Operating Segment
Operating segments are reported in the manner consistent with the internal reporting provided by the Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM). Chairman and Managing Director of the company has been identified as CODM. Company has
identified only one reportable segment.
w) Financial Instruments:
Financial assets - Initial recognition
Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets other than trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial
assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss is initially
recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent
measurement Financial assets, other than equity instruments, are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of both:
(i) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and;
(ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
(1) Measured at amortised cost:
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost, if it is held under the hold to collect business model i.e. held with an
objective of holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. Amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest rate
(“EIR”) method by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, gain or loss, if any, is
recognised to Statement of Profit and Loss.
(2) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
A financial asset is measured at FVOCI, if it is held under the hold to collect and sell business model i.e. held with an
objective to collect contractual cash flows and selling such financial asset and the contractual cash flows are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. It is subsequently measured at fair value with fair

86
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

value movements recognised in the OCI, except for interest income which recognised using EIR method. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or
loss previously recognised in the OCI is reclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.
(3) Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Investment in financial asset other than equity instrument, not measured at either amortised cost or FVOCI is
measured at FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest
income and dividend income if any, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Instruments:
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Equity
instruments which are held for trading are measured at FVTPL.
For all other equity instruments, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at
FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an
equity instrument shall be recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such
instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised
in the OCI. Amounts recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are not subsequently transferred to Statement of
Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised in Statement of Profit and
Loss.
Impairment:
The Company recognises a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at
amortised cost and at FVOCI. The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted
at the original effective interest rate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable
and supportable including that which is forward-looking.
The Company’s trade receivables or contract revenue receivables do not contain significant financing component and
loss allowance on trade receivables is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash
shortfall, being simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance.
Under simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment loss
allowance based on the lifetime ECL at each reporting date right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a
provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables.
The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is
adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and
changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Company recognises 12–month expected credit losses for all
originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased
significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the
credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of
the instrument improves such that there is no longer significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition, then the
Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months ECL.
The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. For equity instruments and financial
assets measured at FVTPL, there is no requirement for impairment testing.
De-recognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or it transfers rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks
and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the

87
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the
Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred
asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has
retained.
Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs for all financial liabilities not carried at fair
value through profit or loss.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans & Borrowings:
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit & loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR
amortization process.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that requires a payment to be made or to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance
with the term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value,
adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently the liability is
measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and
the amount recognized less cumulative adjustments.
De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in
the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a
currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to
realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Fair Value measurement:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

88
65th Annual Report 2022-2023
[Link]

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within
the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
(i) Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(ii) Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
(iii) Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
x) Significant Accounting Estimates
i. Recoverability of Trade Receivables
Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a
provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the credit rating of the counterparty,
the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the
risk of non-payment.
ii. Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses for
which there is probability of utilisation against the future taxable profit. The Company uses judgement to determine
the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits
and business developments.
iii. Provisions
The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events and it is probable that
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
y) Recent Pronouncements :
The following standards / amendments to standards have been issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on
March 31,2023 and will be effective from April 1,[Link] Company is evaluating the requirements of these standards,
improvements and amendments and has not yet determined the impact on the financial statements.

Note 67 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The Company’s
principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its
operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company’s senior management provides assurance that the Company’s financial risk
activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed
in accordance with the company’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for
managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
A. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet it's obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract leading
to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables and other financial assets.
Trade receivables
Customer credit is managed by concerned business manager subject to the Company’s established policy procedures and
control related to customer credit risk management.
Each outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and if outstanding is above due date the further shipments
are controlled and can only be released if there is a proper justification.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as medium, as its customers are located in
several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets and their credit worthiness are monitored at
periodical intervals.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.
(` In lakhs)

Particulars Less Than More Than

180 Days 180 Days
As at 31 March 2023
Expected loss rate – 63.35%
Gross carrying amount of doubtful Trade Receivables – 1,150.81

As at 31 March 2022
Expected loss rate – 65.89%
Gross carrying amount of doubtful Trade Receivables – 847.75
Loss allowance provision during the year – 15.47

* The percentage of expected loss rate is the average of the rate arrived after dividing the total Loss allowance provision by
the Gross carrying amount of doubtful debtors. This is done because the Company has taken different rates varying from 10%
to 100% depending on the period of the trade receivables.
* Loss allowance provision during the year of ` 170.42 lakhs is after subtracting the balance in provision account as on
31st March 2022 and is provided at the expected loss rate on the gross carrying amount of debtors.

B. MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risks – interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk in a
fluctuating market environment. Financial instrument affected by market risks includes loans and borrowings, deposits and
other financials assets.
The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business
objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.
(i) Currency Risk
The Company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently, the
Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through it's sales and services in overseas and purchases from overseas
suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Currency Risk can be majorly divided into two main categories -
1. Risk of change in Profits due to change in currency rate of Outstanding Trade Payables and Receivables (net of advances)
2. Risk of increased outflows due to change in currency rate of Other Payables.
Foreign Currency Sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all
other variables held constant. The impact on the Company’s profit before tax and cash flows is due to changes in the fair
value of Outstanding Trade Payables and Receivables (net of advances) and the effect not on profit but on cash flow is due to
Other Payables. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

and Receivables (net of advances)

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because
the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
(ii) Commodity Price Risk
a. The Company is subjected to Commodity Price risk due to the fluctuations in the price of copper. This is procured from
domestic suppliers. However, domestic price of the copper is affected based on the price at the London Metal Exchange
(LME) and exchange rates. In case copper prices undergo upward / downward revision due to LME or exchange rate, the
price difference are adequately covered by the price variation clause of the order.
b. Exposure of the company to commodity and commodity risks faced by it throughout the year.
1. Total exposure of the company to commodities is ` 4014.47 Lakhs
2. Exposure of the company to various commodities:

3. In majority of orders, company do have price variation clause (PVC) issued by Indian Electrical and Electronics
Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA) which covers all component of cost including commodities and accordingly
company do not have any major risk due to fluctuation in commodities price.
(iii) Interest rate risk
The Company manages interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate of interest on loans and
borrowings. To manage this, Company has taken loans from banks which are linked to MCLR rate of the bank, which are
variable.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and
borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on

INR -50 28.85
(iv) Equity Price Risk
The Company is not exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments since the Company does not have
any equity investments.
C. LIQUIDITY RISK
(i) Liquidity risk management
The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows on daily, monthly and
yearly basis. The Company ensures that there is a free credit limit available at the start of the year which is sufficient for
repayments getting due in the ensuing year. Loan arrangements, credit limits with various banks including working
capital and monitoring of operational and working capital issues are always kept in mind for better liquidity management.
(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with
agreed repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash
flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to
pay. (` In lakhs)
