15 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions : Provisions are recognized when
there is a present obligation as result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and
there is a reliable estimate of the amount of
the obligation. Provisions are measured at the
best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the present obligation at the Balance
sheet date and are not discounted to its
present value unless the effect of time value
of money is material. When discounting is
used, the increase in the provision due to the
passage of time is recognized as a finance
cost.
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
or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot
be made. When there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation in respect of which
likelihood of outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits is remote, no provision or
disclosure is made.
16 Segment Reporting
The Company is engaged in providing
Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) with
capabilities in printed circuit board assembly,
custom cable and wire harnesses, etc. Since
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Board of
Directors) review the operating results as a
whole for purposes of making decisions about
resources to be allocated and to assess its
performance, the entire operations are to

17 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is 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. Earnings
considered in ascertaining the Company's
earnings per share is the net profit for the
period after deducting equity dividends and
any attributable tax thereto for the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period and for all
periods presented is adjusted for events, such
as bonus shares, other than the conversion
of potential equity shares, that have changed
the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss for
the period attributable to equity shareholders
and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period is adjusted
for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
18 Share issue expense
The transaction costs of an equity transaction
are accounted for as a deduction from equity
to the extent they are incremental costs
directly attributable to the equity transaction.
19 Investment in subsidiaries
I nvestment in subsidiaries are measured at
cost less accumulated impairment as per Ind
AS 27.
20 Cash & Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises
cash on hand and at banks and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three
months or less that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.
21 Exceptional items
Exceptional items are those items that
management considers, by virtue of their size
or incidence, should be disclosed separately
to ensure that the financial information
allows an understanding of the underlying
performance of the business in the year, so
as to facilitate comparison with prior periods.
Such items are material by nature or amount
to the year's result and require separate
disclosure in accordance with Ind AS.
3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS,
ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY SOURCES OF
ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The following are the critical judgements,
assumptions concerning the future, and key
sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the
reporting period that may have a significant risk
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
Financial year.
3.1 Useful lives of property, plant and
equipment
As described above, the charge in respect of
periodic depreciation for the year 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 annually. 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 technical or
commercial obsolescence arising from changes
or improvements in production or from a change
in market demand of the product or service output
of the asset.
3.2 Employee Benefits
The cost of defined benefit plans are determined
using actuarial valuation, which involves making
assumptions about discount rates, expected
rates of return on assets, future salary increases,
and mortality rates. Due to the long-term nature
of these plans, such estimates are subject to
significant uncertainty.
3.3 Taxation
Significant assumptions and judgements are
involved in determining the provision for tax
based on tax enactments, relevant judicial
pronouncements and tax expert opinions,
including an estimation of the likely outcome of
any open tax assessments / litigations. Deferred
income tax assets are recognized to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable income will be
available, based on estimates thereof. Significant
assumptions are also involved in evaluating the
recoverability of deferred tax assets recognised
on unused tax losses.
3.4 Provisions and contingencies
Critical judgements are involved in measurement
of provisions and contingencies and estimation
of the likelihood of occurrence thereof based on
factors such as expert opinion, past experience
etc.
3.5 Impairment of Trade receivable - Expected
Credit loss
The impairment provisions for trade receivables
are based on assumptions about risk of default.
The Company uses judgement in making these
assumptions and selecting the inputs for the
impairment calculation, based on Company's
past history at the end of each reporting period
3.6 Impairment of Investment in Subsidiaries
The company carries out an assessment of
impairment in respect of investments in subsidiaries
where any indications of impairment exist as at
the balance sheet date. The determination of
recoverable amount for this purpose requires the
use of critical assumpations and judgements.
4 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies
new standards or amendments to the existing
standards under Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For
the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind
AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to
Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback
transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f.
April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new
pronouncements and based on its evaluation has
determined that it does not have any significant
impact in its financial statements.
As at March 31, 2025, there are no Ind AS Standards/
amendments that have been issued but are not
yet effective.
f) Critical judgements in determining the lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension options (or
periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be
extended (or not terminated).
For leases of buildings, the following factors are normally the most relevant:
(a) If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Company is typically reasonably
certain not terminate (or to extend).
(b) If any lease hold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value the Company is
typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).
(c) Otherwise, the Company considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and
business disruption required to replace the leased asset
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Company
becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise it). The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised
if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects the assessment,
and that is within the control of the lessee. During the current financial year, there was no revision in the
lease terms.
(g) Extension and termination options
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property leases. These are used to maximise
operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company's operations. The majority of
extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not with the respective
lessor.

recognised in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values. Hence, no
separate disclosures of fair value has been made.
The fair value of investment in Mutual Fund is determined based on Net Assets Value published by respective
funds (Level - 2 - Fair value hierarchy)
31.3 Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk.The Company monitors and manages
the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse
exposures by degree and magnitude of risks.
The following disclosures summarize the Company's exposure to financial risks. Quantitative sensitivity
analysis have been provided to reflect the impact of reasonably possible changes in market rates on the
financial results, cash flows and financial position of the Company.
31.3.1 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 conditions. Market risk mainly comprises of interest rate risk, currency
risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings, non-current investments, trade
payables, trade receivables and current investments. The Company's activities expose it primarily to the
financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other price risk.
There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these
risks are being managed and measured.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The company's exposure to changes in interest rates
primarily relates to outstanding floating rate debt and investments in fixed deposits. The company
has investments in INR denominated fixed deposits and a portion of it's working capital debt is
denominated in foreign currency. These credit facilities are subject to periodic interest rate resets.
Based on the past experience the variability of interest investments and working capital loan are
not expected to be material. Further there are only short term foreign currency debt in the form of
packing credit which are subject to minimal changes in interest rate during it's term.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures
to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Significant portion of the companies purchases and sales are
denominated in foreign currency and hence, a natural hedge exists as a result of which, major
foreign exchange fluctuations in import payables gets offset against export receivables. Apart from
the above, exchange rate exposures are also managed within approved policy parameters by
constant monitoring.
31.3.2 Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company. The company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy
counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The company's exposure
of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is
spread amongst counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed
and approved by the management.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on
the financial condition of accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting
date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 8. The company does not
hold collateral as security. The Company has evaluated the concentration of risk with respect to trade
receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in
largely independent markets.
Credit risk arising from other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these
because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating
agencies. Similarly, credit risk arising from investment in Mutual Funds are held without any collateral
but credit risk is limited as the company deals with counterparties of repute and excellent track record.
31.3.3 Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has
established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
company's short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.
The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve
borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables detail the company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial
liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual
maturities of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to
pay.
