a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, as amended from time to time and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting, except for certain items of Assets and Liabilities that have been measured on fair value basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or revision to existing accounting standards requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. Management evaluates all recently issued or revised accounting standards on a periodic basis.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Note 2(r). Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is the Company's presentation currency. All financial information presented in Indian Rupees has been rounded to the nearest Crore (Cr) with two decimals except where otherwise indicated.
f) Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements, income and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods which are affected.
i . Classification of investments in TVS Automobile Solutions Private Limited & TASL Automobile Solutions Private Limited
The Company holds investments in equity shares of TVS Automobile Solutions Private Limited ("TVS ASPL") & TASL Automobile Solutions Private Limited (“TASL”). In the opinion of the management, TVS ASPL & TASL are not considered to be associates of the Company. Accordingly, the investments in their shares have been designated as investment at FVTOCI.
ii. Lease
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Assumptions and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty i . Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. Management works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 2(q).
