Note:-1. The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
Note:2. The short-term benefits does not include provisions for incremental gratuity and leave encashment liabilities since the provisions are based on actuarial valuations for the Company as a whole at the end of each year. The amount is disclosed only at the time of payment.

Under the Act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member's length of service and salary at retirement age. The scheme is funded with HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited in the form of qualifying
_insurance policy.___
(b) Earned Leave
The Present value obligation of Leave Encashment is determined based on actuarial valuation using projected unit credit _method._
The management assessed that the fair values of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction among willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, the Company internally reviews valuation, including independent price validation for certain instruments.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the amount 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.
Fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
44 Financial Instruments and Risk Review Financial Risk Management Framework
The Company's financial liabilities comprise mainly of trade payables and other payable. The Company's financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, loans, trade receivables and other receivables.
The Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk. The Company oversees the management of these financial risks. The Company's approach to address uncertainties in its endeavor to achieve its stated and implicit objectives. It prescribes the roles and responsibilities of the Company's management, the structure for managing risks and the framework for risk management. The framework seeks to identify, assess and mitigate financial risks in order to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.
i) Capital Management
The Company's capital management objectives are:
The Company is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.
The Company manages capital risk by maintaining sound/optimal capital structure through monitoring of financial ratios, such as debt-to-equity ratio and net borrowings-to-equity ratio and implements capital structure improvement plan when necessary.
ii) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.
In assessing, recoverability of receivables, the management has considered the asset type, past due status and other relevant factors considering the age of receivables. The provision for expected credit losses (ECL) are revised at each reporting date by the use of practical expedients viz provision matrix.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk was Rs. 38,816.37 Lakhs (net of write-off/provisions) (Previous Year Rs. 24,240.90 Lakhs) respectively, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with trade receivables. An amount of Rs. 203.41 lakhs (previous year Rs. 31.83 lakhs) has been written-off during the year after re-assessing long outstandings and obtaining objective evidences on the impairment of the trade receivables.
Ind AS requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company assesses at each date of financial statement whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 months expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
The Company's primary customers are major automobile manufacturers (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Company's exposure to customers is diversified and some customers contribute more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable which forms 78% of total receivables as at 31 March, 2026 (65% as at 31 March, 2025), however there was no default on account of those customers in the past.
The Company performs credit assessment for customers on an annual basis and recognizes credit risk, on the basis lifetime expected losses and where receivables are due for more than six months.
iii) Liquidity Risk a) Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding borrowings as at 31/03/2026. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 63,738.72 Lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of Rs.27,644.57 Lakhs. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 48,902.65 lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 29,578.61 Lakhs.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its 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. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.
iv) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The Company's exposure to market risk is primarily on account of foreign currency exchange rate risk. a) Foreign Currency exchange rate risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets / liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar, Euro, and Japanese Yen against the respective functional currencies of the Company.
The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. The information on foreign currency exposures that are not hedged by derivative instruments is as follows.
Foreign Currency Sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change in USD, EURO and JPY exchange rates, with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Company's profit before tax due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 10% represents company's assessment of reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rate.
b) 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 change in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's cash credit/working capital loans. The Company has no long term/short term outstanding borrowings as at 31 March, 2026. The Company investments are primarily in interest rate bearing investments like short term deposits with banks. Hence, the Company is significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
