Share based long term incentive scheme 2022 (SLTI 2022)

On July 01, 2022, pursuant to approval by shareholders in Annual General Meeting, the board has been authorised to introduce, offer, issue and provide share based incentives to eligible employees of the company and its subsidiaries under Share based long term incentive scheme 2022. The maximum number of shares under plan shall not exceed 280,000 equity shares. The options would vest on achievement of defined performance parameters as determined by Nomination and Remuneration committee. The performance parameters are based on operating performance metrics of the company as decided by Nomination and Remuneration committee. Each of the performance parameters will be distinct for the purpose of calculation of the quantity of the shares to vest based on performance. The instruments generally vests within three years from grant date. Each option carries with

a right to purchase one equity share of the Parent Company at exercise price determined by Nomination and Remuneration committee at the time of grant.

There were no grants made for the year ended March 31, 2022.

The fair value of the option is estimated on the date of grant using Black- Scholes-Merton model with following assumptions

The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free interest rate. The expected volatility is computed based on average annualised price volatility of comparable companies for the year of 3.11 years.

The employee stock compensation cost under SLTI 2022 has been computed by reference to the fair value of share options granted and amortised over the vesting year. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the company has accounted for employee stock compensation cost (equity settled) amounting to ' 1.06 crore. (Refer note 24 Employee Benefit Expense and note 15 for share split and bonus issue)

35.2(a) Fair Value Hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value.

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price.

Level 2: Fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification assets.

35.2(b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments included in the above tables:

1. Investments in mutual funds: The fair value is derived based on the closing Net Asset value published by the respective mutual fund houses.

2. Derivative instruments: The fair value is derived based valued using the forward pricing valuation technique, using present value calculations.

35.3 Financial risk management

In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.

The Company has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to:

- Create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Company's business plan.

- Achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

35.4 Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.

35.5 Foreign currency exchange rate risk:

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement 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 consolidated 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 U.S. dollar, Great Britain Pounds, Euro and Swedish Krona, against the respective functional currencies of Tata Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries.

The Company, as per its risk management policy, uses foreign exchange and other derivative instruments .

The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. It hedges a part of these risks by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with its risk management policies.

10% appreciation/depreciation of the respective foreign currencies with respect to functional currency of the Company would result in increase/decrease in the Company's net income before tax by approximately ' 23.46 crore as at March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022: ' 18.08 crore) and ' 1.84 crore as at March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022: ' 0.45 crore) for financial assets and financial liabilities respectively.

35.6 Interest rate risk

The Company's investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing deposits/debentures and long term growth mutual funds. Hence, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

35.7 Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, loans, investments, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. Tata Motors Limited, is the largest customer of the Company (Refer note 31 (ii)).

35.8Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks.The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/ low mark to market risks.

The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

36 (a). Impact of COVID 19 (Pandemic)

The Company has taken into account all the possible impacts of COVID-19 in preparation of these Standalone financial statements, including but not limited to its assessment of, liquidity and going concern assumption, recoverable values of its financial and non-financial assets, impact on revenue recognition owing to changes in cost budgets of fixed price contracts and impact on leases. The Company has carried out this assessment based on available internal and external sources of information upto the date of approval of these standalone financial statements and believes that the impact of COVID-19 is not material to these standalone financial statements and expects to recover the carrying amount of its assets. The impact of COVID-19 on the standalone financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these standalone financial statements owing to the nature and duration of COVID-19.

36 (b). The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on November 13, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The Company will assess the impact and its evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.

36. (d) Proposed Initial Public Offer
