5.11.Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When
a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
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. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
5.12.Employee benefits
5.12.1. Defined Contribution Plans:
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme for eligible employees in the form of superannuation fund and provident fund are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions. The Company has no further payment obligation once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are incurred.
5.12.2. Defined Benefits Plans:
For defined benefit retirement schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuation being carried out at each year-end balance sheet date. Re¬ measurement gains and losses of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. The service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised as an expense within employee costs.
Past service cost is recognised as an expense when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs or when any related restructuring costs or termination benefits are recognised, whichever is earlier.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.
5.12.3. Compensated absences
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits such as annual leave and sick
leave are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each yearend balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised based on actuarial valuation.
5.13.Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and 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 and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
i. Financial Assets
Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances consist of:
(i) Cash and cash equivalents - which includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term deposits which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and have original maturities of less than three months. These balances with banks are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
(ii) Other balances with banks - which also include balances and deposits with banks that are restricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost when they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) when they are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell the assets, and where contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. The Company has made an irrevocable election for certain equity investments (excluding investments in associates and joint ventures) not held for trading to present subsequent fair value changes in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition. These investments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Management believes that presenting these changes in OCI better reflects the nature of such investments than recognizing fair value changes directly in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI measurement are carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method, calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the principal outstanding, and is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Dividend Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the Company's right to receive payment is established.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. Lifetime expected credit losses are recognized for all trade receivables that do not have a financing component. For financial assets other than these trade receivables, the loss allowance is measured as 12-month expected credit losses where the credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition; however, if the credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses are recognized.
Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or when the asset is transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards but retains control, it continues to recognize the asset
with an associated liability for amounts that may be payable. If the Company retains substantially all risks and rewards, the asset continues to be recognized, together with a borrowing representing the proceeds received.
Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Classification as Debt or Equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified based on the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issuance costs.
Financial Liabilities
Trade payables and other short-term liabilities are initially measured at fair value minus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method where the time value of money is significant. Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts, and issued debts are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized over the term in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled, or have expired.
5.14.Segments reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Board of directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker which reviews
and assesses the financial performance and makes the strategic decisions.
5.15.Earnings per share Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of attributable taxes) associated with dilutive potential equity shares by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares including the treasury shares held by the Company to satisfy the exercise of the share options by the employees.
5.16.Share Issue Expenses
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.
5.17. Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest crore as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
5.18. Exceptional items
Exceptional Items include income/expenses that are considered to be part of ordinary activities, however of such significance and nature that separate disclosure enables the users of standalone financial statements to understand the impact in more meaningful manner. Exceptional Items are identified by virtue of their size, nature and incidence.
Note :
During the FY 2024-25, the Company has issued and allotted:
i. 36,75,000 Equity Shares having face value of H10/- each at an issue price of Rs. 183.60/- fully paid up upon exercising the option available with the Share Warrant Holder (person belonging to the Promoter group) to convert 36,75,000 Convertible Warrants
ii. 45,00,000 Equity Shares to the Non-Promoters (Public Category) on preferential basis of H10/- each for cash at premium of Rs. 350/- aggregating to Rs. 1,62,00,00,000/-.
iii. 93,00,000 Convertible Warrants to persons forming part of promoter group on preferential basis of H10/- each for cash at premium of Rs. 350/- aggregating to H3,34,80,00,000/-, with an option to convert the same into equal number of equity shares of H10/- (Rupees Ten) each at an issue price of Rs. 360/- per share within a period of 18 months from the date of allotment of warrants.
During the periods mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
The carrying amounts of current trade receivables, current financial assets, cash and bank balances, loans, trade payables, current borrowings, current financial liabilities and current lease liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to their fair value.
The fair value of non current borrowings is considered to be equal to the carrying amount as the same is at variable rate of interest
b) Financial risk management
Market risk is the potential loss of earnings, fair values, or cash flows due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, or other market variables affecting financial instruments. The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, lease obligations, and trade payables, while its financial assets mainly include receivables, cash, and deposits. Key risks arising from these instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing these risks. The Corporate Treasury function facilitates access to financial markets and oversees risk management in line with approved policies. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
1) Market risk
The Company is primarily exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. These risks are managed through prudent financial management, operational efficiencies, and continuous monitoring rather than through the use of derivative or forward contracts
To address such exposures, the Company has established Risk Management Policies approved by the Board of Directors, providing a structured framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks. The Treasury Department tracks foreign exchange exposures and commodity price movements, prepares periodic reports, and submits them to the
Risk Management Committee. These reports are subsequently placed before the Audit Committee to ensure oversight, compliance, and effective implementation of the approved framework.
The Company does not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes.
a) Foreign currency risk management
The Company's functional currency is Indian Rupees (H). The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Volatility in exchange rates affects the Company's revenue from export markets. The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk under its trade portfolio.
Adverse movements in the exchange rate between the Rupee and any relevant foreign currency result's in decrease in the Company's overall receivables in Rupee terms and favourable movements in the exchange rates will conversely result in increase in the Company's receivables in Rupee terms.
Going by the past trends and future prospects in respect of movement in exchange rate between the Rupee and any relevant foreign currency, the Board expects that there will be favourable movements in the exchange rate and accordingly the management has decided not to hedge the foreign currency through any forward exchange contract. Therefore, receivables aggregating to H 25902.43 lakhs outstanding As at 31 March 2025 represents as unhedged position.
Note: The Company does not have any financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency as at 31 March 2024.
*unhedged currency position
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the H against the relevant foreign currencies. 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 1% change in foreign currency rates, with all other variables held constant. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where H strengthens 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of H against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for floating rate liabilities, assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the year-end was outstanding for the whole year.
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's profit for the year ended 31 March 2025 would decrease / increase by H 21.74 Lakhs (for the year ended 31 March 2024: decrease / increase by H 28.43 Lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings
c) Commodity Price Risk
The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the prices of steel and alloy steels, which are the key raw materials for manufacturing crankshafts. Most contracts with Indian customers are based on mutually agreed price mechanisms, which partially offset the impact of raw material price volatility. However, in the case of firm price orders, any sharp movement in commodity prices may impact profitability.
The Company manages this risk through long-term supplier relationships, bulk procurement strategies, and continuous monitoring of price trends. Risk management policies approved by the Board of Directors provide a structured framework for addressing commodity price exposures. The Company does not enter into commodity derivative contracts and relies on operational measures to mitigate such risks.
2) Credit risk management:
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Company's credit risk arises principally from the trade receivables, loans, cash & cash equivalents.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed centrally by the Company and subject to established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits defined in accordance with the assessment.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers spread across diverse industries and geographical areas with no significant concentration of credit risk. The outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored and appropriate action is taken for collection of overdue receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risks from balances with banks and financial institutions are managed in accordance with the Company policy. The Company attempts to limit the credit risk by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions having high credit- ratings assigned by credit-rating agencies.
In addition, the Company is not exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks and other counterparties.
3. Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk refers to the risk of financial distress or extraordinary high financing costs arising due to shortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and requiring financing. The Company requires funds both for short term operational needs as well as for long term capital expenditure growth projects. The Company generates sufficient cash flow for operations, which together with the available cash and cash equivalents and short term investments provide liquidity in the short-term and long- term. The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium 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 and its non-derivative financial assets. 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.
To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
Collateral
The Company has pledged part of its trade receivables, short term investments and cash and cash equivalents in order to fulfil certain collateral requirements for the banking facilities extended to the Company. There is obligation to return the securities to the Company once these banking facilities are surrendered (Refer note 23 and 25).
4) Capital Risk management
The Company being in a capital intensive industry, its objective is to maintain a strong credit rating, healthy capital ratios and establish a capital structure that would maximise the return to stakeholders through optimum mix of debt and equity.
The Company's capital requirement is mainly to fund its capacity expansion and repayment of principal and interest on its borrowings. The principal source of funding of the Company has been, and is expected to continue to be, cash generated from its operations supplemented by funding from bank borrowings and the equity capital by way of preferential allotment. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company regularly considers other financing and refinancing opportunities to diversify its debt profile, reduce interest cost and elongate the maturity of its debt portfolio, and closely monitors its judicious allocation amongst competing capital expansion projects, to capture market opportunities at minimum risk.
The Company monitors its capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt, divided to total equity. Net debt includes, interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents and current investments.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
45. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
a. Defined contribution plan
The Company operates defined contribution retirement benefit plans for all qualifying employees. Under these plans, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs.
Company's contribution to provident fund recognised in statement of profit and loss of H22.61 Lakhs (31 March 2024:H21.80) (included in note 33).
b. Defined benefit plans
The level of benefits provided depends on the member's length of service and salary at retirement age.
The gratuity plan is covered by The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the gratuity plan, all employees are entitled to Gratuity Benefits on exit from service due to retirement, resignation or death at the rate of 15 days' salary for each year of service with payment ceiling of H20 lakhs. The vesting period for gratuity as payable under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is 5 years.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 31 March 2025 by Independent, Qualified Actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
