2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation and statement of compliance
The basis of preparation and the accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements, unless otherwise stated. The accounting policies adopted are the same as those which were applied for the previous financial year.
The financial statements comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS") as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act"), other relevant provisions of the Act as notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, (including subsequent amendments) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
The Company has prepared the standalone financial statement on going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all period presented in financial statements except where explicitly mentioned.
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees “INR" or "Rs." or "'" and all values are stated as INR or Rs. or ' Million, except when otherwise indicated. These Financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 27th May, 2025.
(b) Basis of 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following items, which are measured on an alternative basis on each reporting date.
Items Basis
|
Measurement
|
Non derivative financial instruments at FVTPL
|
Fair value
|
Net defined benefit liability
|
Present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in note 3(j)
|
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
• Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees ('), which is also the Company’s functional currency.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing the financial statements, the Management has to make certain assumptions and estimates that may substantially impact the presentation of the Company’s financial position and/ or results of operations. Such assumptions and estimates mainly relate to the useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment’s, Intangible Assets and the recognition of provisions, including those for litigation, employee benefits, Income tax and deferred tax assets, fair value measurement of financial instrument and allowance for credit losses on receivables.
The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously evaluated by the Company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the Company believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the periods in which they become known. Key source of estimation of uncertainty at the date of financial statements, that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are given below:
i) Income tax and deferred tax assets
Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Accordingly, the Company exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections
for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the Company will realise the benefits of those deductible differences.
ii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
iii) Provisions and contingent liabilities
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 date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgement to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
iv) Measurement of defined benefit obligation, key actuarial assumptions
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation are given in note 35 respectively
v) Fair value measurement of Financial Instruments
The Company applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with the market participants to price the instrument. The Company’s assumptions are based on observable data as far as possible, otherwise on the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.
vi) Allowance for credit losses on receivables
Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured using simplified approach. The Company recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its specific analysis and historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
(e) Current-non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. i t is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
b. i t is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria
a. i t is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
b. i t is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. i t is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of noncurrent financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, generally twelve month is considered as operating cycle.
5 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, than they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Capital work-in-progress includes the cost of property, plant and equipment that are not ready to use at the Balance Sheet date.
Subsequent Expenditure:
Subsequent Expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Depreciation/Amortisation:
Depreciation is calculated on pro rata basis on straight-line method based on estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Type of asset
|
Estimated useful life
|
Dies, Pattern, Fixtures and Tools
|
4-12 years

|
Vehicles
|
1-4 years
|
Computers
|
5-8 years
|
Furniture and Fixture
|
14-16 years
|
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Derecognition:
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible assets is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated loss. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefit from the specific asset to which it relates.

Estimated useful life
|
Computer Software
|

Other Intangible assets are amortised on the straight line method over a period of 3 years.
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Impairment Testing of Property, Plant and Equipment, and other Intangible Assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date, if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life. Previously recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes.
(c) Leases
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for vehicles. At the inception of contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves use of an identified asset and conveys the right to control the use of asset for period of time in exchange for consideration i.e. customer has right to:
- obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset and
- direct the use of asset Company as a lessee Recognition and measurement
The Company recognises the right of use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date of lease. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises of the initial amount of lease liability adjusted for any payment made at or before commencement date, any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of cost to dismantle or remove an underlying asset or to restore an asset less any lease incentive received. The lease liability is initially measured at present value of lease payments that is not paid at commencement date discounted at implicit rate mentioned in lease or incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments include fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; amounts expected to be payable by the Company under the residual value guarantee; the exercise price of a purchase option; if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term considered reflects that the Company shall exercise a termination option. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as discount rate.
The right-of-use assets is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of lease term or over the useful life of right-of-use asset.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments.
Extension and termination of lease
The Company determines the lease term as the noncancelable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
Short term leases and low value assets
The Company has elected not to recognise right of use of assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight- line basis over the lease term in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment testing for right of use of assets
Right of use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amount is not recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
(d) Inventories
I nventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on weighted average cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(e) Financial Instruments
a) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments, except trade receivables that are initially recognised when they are originated.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
b) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as - measured at:
- Amortised cost; or
- FVOCI - Debt Investment; or
- FVOCI - equity investment;
- FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-byinvestment basis.
Investments representing equity interest in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are carried at cost less any provision for impairment. Investments are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL. However, in cases where the
Company has made an irrevocable election for particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at FVTPL the subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
c) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company is recognised at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as fair value through Profit and loss or at amortised cost. All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amortised cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings, trade and other payables.
After initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate method.
d) Derecognition of financial assets & liabilities Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises
its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for the amount it may have to pay.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the contractual obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. 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 profit or loss.
e) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
f) Impairment
The Company applies the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets. With respect to trade receivables and financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured at amortised cost, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
Expected credit losses are recognised for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets measured at FVTPL category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per I nd AS 109, 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 impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
g) Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write- off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.
h) Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates on its long-term borrowings. The use of these foreign exchange forward contracts reduces the risk to the Company. The Company does not use the foreign exchange forward contracts for trading or speculation purpose.
These derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. No hedge accounting is applied to these derivatives, which are carried at fair value with changes being recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(f) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent asset
Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date.
- Warranty provisions
The estimated liability for product warranties is recognised when products are sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future warranty claims, customer goodwill and recall complaints. The timing of outflows will vary depending on when warranty claim will arise, being typically up to four years. The Company also has back-to-back contractual arrangement with its suppliers in the event that a vehicle fault is proven to be a supplier's fault. Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier, adjusted for inflation and applied to the population of vehicles under warranty as on Balance Sheet date.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation arising from the past event, that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed in the financial statements unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
(g) Dividends
The Company recognises a liability for any dividend declared but not distributed at the end of reporting year, when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company on or before the end of the reporting year.
(h) Revenue recognition
According to Ind AS 115, revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services when control of the goods or services and the benefits obtainable from them are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognised using the following five step model specified in Ind AS 115:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customers
Step 2: Identify performance obligations contained in the contracts
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to our customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on terms with customers.
Revenue is measured on the basis of contracted price, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the Government such as Goods and Services Tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts and rebates. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.
(i) Other income
I nterest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
I ncome from export incentives is recognised on accrual basis to the extent the ultimate realisation is reasonably certain.
(j) Employee benefits Defined benefit plans
The Company’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, for the period in which they occur. All the expenses that relate to the defined benefit plan are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs, in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The obligation under the defined benefit plan is measured after taking into account changes in legislation as have been enacted up to the Balance Sheet date.
Defined contribution plans
The Company's contribution towards employee's provident fund and employee state insurance
scheme are defined contribution plans. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund and employee state insurance scheme. The Company's contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognised as employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Compensated absences
The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/ gains are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.
Other benefits
The Company has other long-term employee benefit plan in the form of retention bonus for those employees, who are identified to ensure continuity of special projects / tasks / activities. This amount will be payable on completion of their three years of service payable in 37th and 40th month salary equally. Liability for the same is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance Sheet date, carried out by independent actuary.
Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits expense. Benefits such as salaries and performance incentives, are charged to statement of profit and loss on an undiscounted, accrual basis during the period of service rendered by the employees in the financial year.
(k) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time (generally over twelve months) to get ready for its intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(l) Foreign currency
Indian Rupee is the Company’s functional as well as presentation currency.
- Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
- Measurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the Balance Sheet date
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency (other than those related to acquisition of property plant and equipment) of the Company outstanding at the Balance Sheet date are restated at the year-end rates.
Non monetary foreign currency items that are measured based on historical cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined.
- Treatment of exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The translation differences on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(m) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax
Provision for current tax is recognised in accordance with the provisions of Income-tax Act, 1961 and is made annually based on the tax liability after taking credit for tax allowances and exemptions. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the amount considered for tax purpose. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Such reductions are reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be recovered.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting year.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
• t he entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; an
• the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Current and deferred tax for the reporting period
Current and deferred tax are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
(n) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.
(o) Segment reporting
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing automotive equipments, parts and components. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Inter segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market/fair value factors.
