Foreseeable Future
As we look ahead, we have a lot of promising opportunities as well as challenges.
BEL being a key player in defence with multiple existing competencies and strong R&D is well-placed. We are vigorously responding to many 'Make-II' projects under Defence Acquisition Policy (DAP) 2020 and target to increase participation. We are also emphasising on progressing towards enhancing indigenous development of Sub-Systems, Systems and Services for which capabilities and competencies are being built. This includes investing in infrastructure creation and modernisation, skill development and outsourcing to Indian industries, especially MSMEs.
We will also continue to closely work with DRDO labs, research and premier academic institutions and niche technology players for developing new products and systems in emerging technologies. Further, considering increased private participation, we are increasingly interacting with the Indian defence industry towards building long-term relationships.
In our non-defence business, we seek to continue building on our existing competencies as well as diversifying into new business areas.
We are continuously pursuing opportunities to expand business by capturing new customers in the existing and new markets. To give greater thrust to exports, we have plans to further expand the network of our marketing offices. The target is to increase business opportunities in South East Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa and North and South America through incessant engagement with customers and collaborating with other Indian companies and local partners.
Our overarching goal is to maintain strategic electronics leadership. Towards this, we have established strategies and initiated actions to rise above competition and maintain a technological edge. We intend to do this by staying abreast with latest technologies and meet the changing requirements of customers with thrust on cost-effective and innovative solutions. Roadmaps have been drawn for future products, new technology areas, creation of IPRs and acquisition of key technologies. On the employee's front, we have solidified our reputation as a preferred employer with efforts around continuous learning, innovation, and empowerment.
In FY 2023-24, we target a healthy growth of 15-17% driven by both defence and non-defence businesses. We have several prestigious orders lined up and will be focussed on executing them on time. While the opportunities are many, we also anticipate challenges due to geopolitical situations, emerging new technologies, changing policies and regulatory landscapes, competition and evolving customer expectations. We will remain watchful and take necessary actions.
Contribution to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Area
ESG and commitment to stakeholders' interests is a priority at BEL, guided by our value of 'Endeavouring to fulfil social responsibilities'. It underpins our long-term success.
We are making great strides towards reducing emissions, achieving water positivity and circular economy. A sharp focus is to reduce, reuse, recover and recycle through improvement in process and intend to build on them and create a greener future.

BEL encourages innovative learning in government schools

Problem statement:
Kumuram Bheem Asifabad is a backward district of Telangana with predominantly tribal population, and identified as an Aspirational District by NITI Aayog. It has a low literacy rate, with most children being first generation school-goers. Behavioural change and making the education process fun and interactive was necessary to improve learning outcomes.
Towards this, district administration decided to introduce 'Coding Skills' in the Government Upper Primary and High Schools, given its significance in present times and also promoting structured and logical thinking. However, most Government schools did not have Computers.
BEL solution:
BEL introduced ProGame, a self-learning coding kit that transforms programming into a game. This patented, low-cost innovation comprises a ProGame Board, coding blocks, colourful sprites (characters), backdrops and a mobile application for android. Enabling students to learn coding / programming without conventional computers, it serves as a stepping stone towards computer programming, preparing the children for the future.

During the year 2022-23, the Company has spent around ` 54,137 Lakhs as part of CAPEX investment towards modernisation of Plant & Machinery, Test instruments, R&D investments, Infrastructure up-gradation etc.
Information Technology (IT) Initiatives
BEL has adopted Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to avoid storing of Data on all PCs and for enhancing Information Security. PCs with Windows OS are inherently vulnerable to malware, viruses, worms, data leakage and other Security vulnerabilities. Due to the Lack of central visibility and control over PCs in BEL Units and Offices, it was not practically possible to implement a uniform security policy. These issues have been overcome by the implementation of centralised VDI and replacing or converting End Point PCs to Thin Clients. The Data Centre facilities of Units have been upgraded for hosting VDI. Separate VDI has been commissioned for Intranet and Internet. All data are now stored only in Data Centres in encrypted form. Centralised security policies and Security patching are now enforced centrally for the entire infrastructure.
Primavera Project Management System has been rolled out for selected projects for planning, managing and execution of projects. The system has scheduling, risk analysis, resource management and control capabilities and is fully integrated with BEL's SAP ERP. It has several features like dashboard for Management, various graphical charts and histograms which enable Management to focus on the projects key performance indicators, and empowers senior management to take informed decisions.
Network Detection and Response (NDR) has been implemented to complement the existing signaturebased Detection and Prevention systems in BEL's Security Operations Center. This solution uses Machine Learning and other analytic techniques to monitor and detect suspicious network traffic on enterprise networks. NDR gives visibility into everything happening on the network, including hackers lateral movements, giving the opportunity to quickly respond and contain the malware before suffering an actual breach.
Face recognition based attendance system has been implemented which is directly integrated with SAP ERP to ensure contactless attendance. In future it will be integrated with the SAP log-on based on attendance and many more security features can be built on it.

Integrity Pact
One of the initiatives of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to eradicate corruption in procurement activity is the introduction of the Integrity Pact in large-value contracts with Government Organisations. In line with the directives from the Ministry of Defence and the Central Vigilance Commission, your Company has adopted Integrity Pact with all vendors/suppliers/contractors/service providers for all Orders/Contracts of value ` 300 Lakhs and above. The Integrity Pact essentially envisages an agreement between the prospective vendors/bidders and the principal (BEL), committing the persons/officials of both sides, not to resort to any corrupt practices in any aspect/stage of the contract. Only those vendors/bidders, who commit themselves to such a Pact with the principal, would be considered competent to participate in the bidding process. Integrity Pact, in respect of a particular contract, would be operative from the stage of invitation of bids till the final completion of the contract. Any violation of the same would entail disqualification of the bidders and exclusion from future business dealings.
As recommended by the CVC, the Company has appointed Dr Joginder Paul Sharma, IAS (Retd.), Mr Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, IAS (Retd.) and Mr Rajiva Ranjan Verma, IPS (Retd.) for monitoring the implementation of the Integrity Pact in the Company.

Annexure-4
Management Discussion and Analysis Report
- (A) Industry Structure and Developments, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, Major Initiatives undertaken and planned to ensure sustained Performance and Growth:
- (a) General outlook of the economy, industry in which the Company operates, Government Budget, particularly the Defence Budget, market conditions and how these impact the Company, measures taken / action plan to protect the interest of the Company
In the third decade of this millennium, at least three economic shocks have hit the global economy since 2020 with the pandemic-induced contraction of the global output, followed by the war situation witnessed by the world where giant global powers appear to be stacked against each other leading to a worldwide surge in inflation, and synchronised policy rate hikes by central banks across the economies in a bid to curb inflation. Indian economy, however, appears largely unscathed by the impact of these economic shocks. The Indian economy, after manifesting initial signs of sluggishness, appears to have moved on after its encounter with the pandemic, staging a turnaround in FY 2021-22 ahead of many nations and positioning itself to ascend to the pre-pandemic growth path in FY 2022-23.
The FY 2022-23 so far for India has reinforced the country's belief in its economic resilience. The economy has withstood the global economic challenges while maintaining its growth momentum in the process. The forecast by the National Statistical Office (NSO), growth of the Indian economy broadly lies in the range of 6.5- 7.0% in FY 2022-23 which is higher than almost all the major economies and even slightly above the average growth of the Indian economy in the decade leading up to the pandemic.
Even as India's outlook remains bright, global economic prospects for the next year have been weighed down by the combination of a unique set of challenges expected. The Economic Survey 2022-23 projects a baseline GDP growth of 6.5% in real terms in FY 2023-24, which is broadly comparable to the estimates provided by other agencies such as the World Bank, IMF, RBI, etc. The actual outcome for real GDP growth will probably lie in the range of 6.0% to 6.8%, depending on the trajectory of economic and political developments globally.
Defence
Defence allocation for the FY 2023-24 has been increased to 5.94 Lakh Crore which is about a 13% increase compared to the previous year. The capital allocation, which relates to the modernisation and infrastructure development of the Armed Forces has been increased to 1,62,600 Crore in FY 2023-24 from ` 1,52,370 Crore in FY 2022-23, with an increase of 6.7% over the previous year.
To further foster innovation, encourage technology development and strengthen the defence industrial ecosystem, innovation (iDEX) and Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS) have been allocated 116 Crore and 45 Crore respectively representing an enhancement of 93% for iDEX and 95% for DTIS over 2022-23.
However, the Ordnance Factories (OFs), which the government has converted into seven corporate entities, have seen an overall decline in their shares in the Budget.
Ministry of Defence (MoD) has taken numerous steps to achieve 'Aatmanirbharta' in defence and Positive Indigenisation Lists is one of the landmark initiatives towards achieving that vision. The MoD had earlier promulgated 'First, Second and Third Positive Indigenisation Lists comprising 310 items. The 'Fourth Positive Indigenisation List' of 101 items was announced in Oct 2022, which will provide continuous impetus towards self-reliance in defence.

In the FY 2023-24, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been allocated 1.96 Lakh Crore, with an increase of 1.1% over the revised estimate of 1.93 Lakh Crore for 2022-23. Of the Ministry's total budget, 65% of expenditure is on police, 31% on grants to UTs and 4% on other items such as disaster management, rehabilitation of refugees and migrants, and conducting the census.
In the FY 2023-24 Budget, 1.27 Lakh Crore has been allocated towards police in comparison to 1.17 Lakh Crore in 2022-23. Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) which is primarily responsible for internal security has been allotted 31,772 Crore in 2023-24 in comparison to 29,325 Crore in the previous year. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which protects vital installations like nuclear projects, airports and metro networks, has been given 13,215 Crore in 2023-24 in comparison to 12,202 Crore previous year.
Smart City
The Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was launched in June 2015 as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) with the objective to provide a decent quality of life to citizens in cities, through deployment of 'smart solutions', and improvement in the core infrastructure. The Mission was originally planned till March 2022 but has been extended till June 2023.
Allocations for SCM decreased by 9% from 8,800 Crore in FY 2022-23 Revised Estimate to 8,000 Crore in FY 2023-24 budgeted estimate. Cumulatively, ` 45,915 Crore has been allocated for SCM till FY 2023-24, which accounts for 96% of anticipated GoI funds for the Mission. So far 64% of the projects had been completed.
Additionally, City Investment to Innovate, Integrate and Sustain (CITIIS), a new initiative under SCM has seen an increase in total allocation by almost 10 times between its initiation in FY 2018-19 and FY 2023-24.

RF and IR Seekers
The global missile seekers market size is projected to grow to US\$ 6.8 Billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.2% by 2026. The main drivers for the global growth of this segment are the geo-political instabilities, change in warfare strategies, advancement in missile seeker technologies and miniaturisation, depletion of stocks, increasing defence budgets of emerging economies, etc.
The domestic demand for this segment got a major boost with issuance of a series of positive indigenisation lists by MoD, GoI wherein all strategic missile systems are included for domestic manufacturing in a phased manner. With major strides in indigenous missile systems development by DRDO, the domestic defence industry will have a major role and opportunity for absorption of technology and production in the years to come. BEL is associated with DRDO during various phases of development for technology absorption, engineering and productionisation of RF and IR seekers. BEL is continuously investing for creation of necessary infrastructure for mass manufacture of the seekers to meet the required demand. BEL is also working with the services to explore refurbishment and life extension of armament in this segment.
Missiles, Arms & Ammunition
Arms & Ammunition including smart weapons are critical for the strategic needs of the country for which self-reliance has to be ensured. For long, the Services were dependent on imported arms/weapons. GoI/MoD through major policy initiatives for Make-In-India such as indigenisation of ammunitions, positive indigenisation list, Make-II, etc., is offering huge opportunities to domestic defence manufactures including BEL.
As per the reports, the global arms and ammunition (including small arms, smart weapons) market, is projected to reach \$ 37.71 Billion by 2030.
BEL is engaged in development and also partnering with DRDO, technology partners, academia, R&D institutes, start-ups etc. for development of missiles seekers, glide bombs, rockets, ammunitions, electronic fuzes and its related parts. BEL has made substantial investments in creating facilities for processing/hot integration and several storage magazines with all necessary regulatory licenses and approvals.
(b) Industry Structure and Developments
At present, India is one of the largest importers of defence equipment with majority of its defence needs being met through imports, though India's arms imports have decreased in the recent years, as per the reports. The Government of India aims to develop a strong self-reliant domestic industry in the defence sector with substantial participation from the private sector, including MSMEs and start-ups to reverse the trend of imports.
In this regard, the Government has taken several initiatives like the Make-In-India programme, creation of an eco-system for the development of technologies through innovation by MSMEs / start-ups, etc. With the support of the Government, the Indian industry is expected to move up in the value chain and deliver quality products, systems and services to the defence forces. The Government has promulgated a draft defence production policy that aims at increasing defence production to ` 1,70,000 Crore by 2025.
The MoD has introduced the Strategic Partnership (SP) model for the Indian private sector, as part of the DPP 2016. The model aims to progressively build indigenous capabilities in the private sector to design, develop and manufacture complex weapon systems and platforms.
The Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (DAP 2020) has incorporated several improvements focussing on self-reliance, wherein indigenisation and innovation are enabled through processes of making, design & development and strategic partnership. Import substitution has been facilitated through various schemes with the aim of reducing lifecycle costs and building a robust ecosystem with the help of the domestic industry/ MSMEs. Amendments to DAP-2020 are underway, in order to further simplify the Make-I and Make-II procurement process, inclusion of Space activities, etc.
To promote indigenous defence manufacturing, the Government has undertaken initiatives like liberalisation of industrial licensing, development of Defence Corridors, funding for Innovation in defence and aerospace through iDEX / DIO, continuous updation of DPP, thrust on exports, etc. Suo moto proposals can also be submitted under the Make-II category.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 74% is allowed through the automatic route and above 74% under the Government route, wherever it needs to access modern technology.
The DRDO developed technologies are now made available on a non-exclusive basis to the Indian industry, including the private sector against the payment of ToT and royalty fees. Also, the DRDO has come out with a revised policy and procedures for transfer of technology to industry.
Two defence industrial corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are being established by the Government. The Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC) will have six nodes at Agra, Aligarh, Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Kanpur and Lucknow. The Tamil Nadu Defence Industrial Corridors (TNDIC) will have five nodes at Chennai, Coimbatore, Hosur, Salem and Tiruchirappalli. An investment plan of about 11,100 Crore and 8,700 Crore has been announced for Tamil Nadu and the UP corridors respectively by DPSUs including newly formed DPSUs and private companies.
The procedure of 'Make-I' and 'Make-II' programmes has been introduced and is being simplified further, by the Government which is likely to help MSME and Start-up companies to integrate into defence production. BEL is also participating in many of the Make-II programmes of the defence services.
Toward MoD's big push for the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, MoD has put an import embargo on 400 plus items from Aug 2020 and published four positive indigenisation lists of Services with timelines to boost the indigenisation of defence production. BEL's Products / Systems can meet about 30% of these positive lists of defence indigenisation.

Technology Upgradation and R&D Challenges
Core technologies required for developing state-of-theart products and solutions are often not readily available. R&D on core technologies requires constant upgrade for realising solutions with a competitive edge. While it is inevitable to use proprietary technologies, getting locked into a single source for technologies/solutions is a major challenge.
The demands of Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) along with quality requirements always push R&D efforts to the edge. At the component level, R&D efforts are steered towards meeting newer requirements of SoCs, MMICs, highly integrated processor ICs, microwave supercomponents, etc. At the product level, R&D efforts are towards creating modular, configurable, multi-function and fault-tolerant products. Realising Systems of Systems needs expertise in systems engineering, project management along with system integration expertise. Obsolescence of critical components, continued dependency on foreign OEMs and requirement to support the entire product life cycle are the other critical challenges.
Measures
To overcome the challenge of continuous upgrade of underlying core technologies for all products and solutions across BEL, a 3-tier R&D structure is put in place. The Central Research Laboratories (CRLs), one each located at Bengaluru and at Ghaziabad, are engaged in blue sky research and applied research in core technology areas of Communication, C4I, Big Data, Network Centric Software, Electronic Warfare, Radio Frequency, Microwave, Power Amplifiers, Antenna, Radar Signal and Data Processing, Image Processing, Electro-Optics and Lasers, Embedded Smart Computing, Sensors, Networking, Navigation, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber & Network Security, Crypto, Switching, Cloud and Data Analytics, Machine Intelligence, Robotics, Unmanned Vehicles, NMS, DSS, Multi-Sensor Tracking and Data Fusion, GIS Technologies, Simulation, War Gaming, Tactical Algorithms, Cognitive Computing, Sensor-System Integration, Web Technologies, Software Engineering etc.
A centralised Product Development and Innovation Centre (PDIC) and the 3 Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the areas of Electronic Warfare & Photonics (EW&P), Military Communication Systems (MCS) and Radar & Weapon Systems (R&WS), located at Bengaluru, focus on engineering of core technology modules into products / systems. The core areas of PDIC are Automation Solutions, Antenna Vertical, Crypto Solutions, Embedded Systems, Energy Systems, Engineering Solutions, RF and Microwave, MMICs, SoCs, Sonar Systems, Super Components, Navigation and Stabilisation, etc.
The Development and Engineering (D&E) divisions, operating at all Strategic Business Units (SBUs)/Units, liaison with end customers for understanding their requirements, mapping them to technical specifications and developing products/solutions incorporating the core technology modules developed through the other tiers, i.e. CRLs and PDIC.
The D&E of Software SBU, at Bangalore, addresses all requirements related to software modules either directly to the customers or through respective D&Es of SBUs/ Units. Recently, a Software Development Centre has also been opened at Visakhapatnam. The Software SBU is supported ably by the CRLs at Bengaluru & Ghaziabad.
In BEL, the challenges are further being addressed through planned R&D initiatives, systems engineering, technology training for R&D manpower, system-driven obsolescence management and by leveraging expertise through suitable collaborative R&D partners.
To overcome the challenge of lock-in to proprietary technologies, in feasible areas, the Company develops technology modules/solutions based on standard protocols and with modular designs which can be evaluated using standard test and measuring instruments. Even when a given Technology Module/

Product/ Solution is Built to Specifications (tailormade for the defence forces), they are developed with standard interfaces so that it can be used as plug-andplay modules in larger systems to ensure modularity and scalability. This safeguards against the singlevendor/proprietary lock-in situation and ensures that the products/systems developed are easily maintainable.
Further, wherever a subsystem or a component is procured, multiple sources for this subsystem/ component are created to safeguard the Company from getting locked in to a single source. The ever-increasing need for low size, weight, & power is being addressed through the development of a series of miniaturised platforms/products/solutions by optimising processing performance, packaging and thermal management based on a standards-driven approach. Obsolescence is being addressed through obsolescence management plans, tools & actions, which help identify/create alternate sources and move towards indigenisation.

(e) Specific Measures on Risk Management, Cost Reduction and Indigenisation:
- Risk Management:
Your Company has an established Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) deployed across the Company. The deployment of ERM is based on the Risk Management (RM) Policy of the Company, approved by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Risk Management Committee (RMC) of the Board.
The Risk Management Policy is reviewed and revised periodically taking into account the changes in the external business environment. The RM policy of the Company is revised during the current financial year. The changes, among others, include the introduction of ESG risk in the identified areas of Risk.
The Risk Management Policy outlines the Risk management structure, scope and objectives, identified areas of risks, roles and responsibilities of Risk Management Committees at various levels, Role and functions of risk champions and other concerned personnel in the Company in respect of ERM implementation.
RM policy in the Company is implemented through an established ERM framework across the Company. The Risk Management framework of the Company has a three-tier structure, with a Board of Directors (BOD) through the Risk Management Committee of the Board (RMC) at the Apex level; Corporate Risk Management Committee (CRMC) at the corporate level and Unit Risk Management Committee's (URMCs) at the Strategic Business Units (SBUs)/Units/R&D centres etc.
A comprehensive framework for risk identification, evaluation, prioritisation and mitigation of various risks associated with different areas such as technology, market, product, cyber security, environmental social and governance (ESG), operations, finance, human resources, etc. are also defined in the Policy.
Based on the analysis of the risks reported by the URMCs, risks which have a potential impact across the Company and which need the expert advice and direction of the RMC are identified by the Corporate Risk Management Committee (CRMC) in various areas like technology, marketing, operations, finance, security, HR, ESG, etc. Based on the review by the RMC and its recommendations these risks are addressed by introducing suitable policies and or business process improvements which emphasise decision making incorporating risk mitigation measures.
The implementation of mitigation measures is further reviewed by the RMC for compliance and the implementation status is reported to the Board.
Risks which may have significantly impact the operations of the Company or wherever deemed necessary, are reported to RMC. RMC reviews the risks and recommends to the Board for further deliberations and approval of mitigation measures.
2. Cost Reduction:
In the changing environment of competitiveness and more emphasis by Government on Atma-Nirbhar Bharat (Self Reliance), Cost Competitiveness has become more important for the company. As the profit margins are reducing, cost competitiveness works as survival strategy. BEL has adopted cost reduction strategy as one of the thrust areas. "Cost Reduction" Task Forces are set up in all the Units /SBUs with members from Cross Functional Areas. The Task Forces identify & take up projects and set target for achieving cost reduction with focus on both manufacturing & non-manufacturing areas and encompass all facets of business.
3. Indigenisation:
BEL strongly believes that achieving Self-reliance is one of the prime objectives to meet the strategic needs of the nation. Towards this endeavour, around 75% of the Company's turnover is generated from indigenous technology.
In line with Government's "Make in India" policy, BEL has been taking several initiatives to achieve Self-Reliance through a strong thrust on In-house R&D and Indigenisation, Increased outsourcing from Indian Private industries, Public Private Partnerships, Joint Ventures, Capacity expansion, Infrastructure Development & modernisation etc. Major initiatives taken towards achieving the goals of Indigenisation & self-reliance include:
- Continuous product development through In-house R&D efforts, Joint development by partnering with DRDO, National R&D Labs & Academia and Collaborative R&D partnership with the Indian private sector (MSMEs/Start-ups) & foreign OEMs/ Design houses
- ToT-based In-depth manufacturing from foreign OEMs
- Import substitution of critical sub-systems through inhouse/domestic vendor development
-
Three years R&D plan for Indigenous development
-
Outsourcing & Vendor Development Policy
- Test facilities for use by Indian Private entities
- EoIs published for imported items under Make-II to attract capable/prospective domestic manufacturers for Indigenisation
- Details of items planned for Indigenisation uploaded on 'Srijan Portal', Indigenisation portal of MoD
The Government has taken several policy initiatives and brought reforms to encourage indigenous design, development & manufacture of defence equipment within India, with an aim to reduce dependency on imports. These initiatives, inter-alia, include (1) According priority to procurement of capital items from domestic sources under Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP)-2020 (2) Notification of four 'Services Positive Indigenisation Lists' of total 411 items for which there would be an embargo on the import beyond the timeline indicated against them. There are as many as 133 items of BEL included in these lists.
In addition to this, setting up of the two defence corridors, one each in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, aims to generate employment in the coming years. Subsequently, six nodes, namely Aligarh, Agra, Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Kanpur and Lucknow were identified for Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC) and five nodes, namely Chennai, Coimbatore, Hosur, Salem and Tiruchirappalli for Tamil Nadu Defence Industrial Corridor (TNDIC). Defence Industrial Corridors (DICs) are aimed at providing a fillip to the defence manufacturing ecosystem in both States.
In order to meet the objectives set for Indigenisation of critical components, the Government of India has been implementing various Action Plans that would address all aspects of the eco-system.
BEL has a greater role to play and complement in realising the Government's objectives on Indigenisation. With the sustained business growth of BEL in Defence Electronics, the opportunities for its supply chain partners are also on the increase, especially for the MSMEs, Startups and domestic players as the company's "thrust and thirst" has been on Indigenisation and Self-reliance since its inception.
While BEL's objective & initiatives provide tremendous scope for Indigenisation activities, the Company is confident of increased participation from all sectors will lead to self-reliance and a win-win situation among its supply-chain partners.

BEL has a robust system of internal controls in place. It has documented policies and procedures on Purchase, Sub-contract, Works contract, Accounting, HR, IT and Security, Sub-delegation of Powers, etc. covering all financial and operating functions, and revised in tune with the changing times. These controls have been designed to provide a reasonable assurance with regard to maintaining of proper accounting controls for ensuring reliability of financial reporting, monitoring of operations, and protecting assets from unauthorised use or losses, compliance with regulations, etc. BEL has implemented File Life Cycle Management System (FLM) for online processing and approvals of procurement and other proposals, which facilitates complete transparency, accountability, protection and security of the information/files. Elaborate guidelines for preparation of accounts are followed consistently for compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Companies Act, 2013.
BEL has implemented a Company-wide ERP system (SAP) with centralised deployment. Governance Risks and Compliance (GRC) Access Control module has been implemented as the primary means of addressing user access risks by embedding preventive rule based checks while assigning authorisations to business transactions.

Authorisations to users are given based on principles of Segregation of Duties and Least Privilege. Risk rules have been configured in the system in several business processes like Finance, Procure to Pay, Order to Cash, Material Management, HR and Payroll. Risk analysis reports are regularly run to ensure that processes are under control. Additional control in the form of biometric fingerprint authentication for critical transactions is also in place. Audit logs for all changes in roles and authorisations are maintained.
BEL has its own Internal Audit Department commensurate with the size and nature of its operations, with teams of professionally qualified personnel who conduct regular and comprehensive internal audits to ensure that all checks and internal control systems are in place. Services of external professional audit firms are being utilised to carry out 100% vouching of vendor payments (including travel/medical claims reimbursements) in nine Units (including BEL Corporate Office, CRL BG Cx, CRL Ghaziabad and PDIC during 2022-23). The Company has a sub-committee of the Board viz. Audit Committee (AC) to keep a close watch on compliance with Internal Control Systems. Also, being a Government Company, BEL is subject to Audit by the Comptroller & Auditor General of India (C&AG).
BEL's Internal Audit teams are located at major manufacturing units and Corporate Office of the Company which carry out audits as per risk-based Annual Audit Programme approved by the Audit Committee of the Board. New centre is also planned to address the increased volume of transactions in certain regions wherever required. Internal Audit issues reports to the Auditees' and after considering the Auditees' replies/action taken reports, IA Centres submit reports of significant issues observed during the audit to the Head of Internal Audit on a periodical basis. Head of Internal Audit submits his/her reports to Company's Management at various levels for corrective actions and finally submits a report to the Audit Committee of the Board indicating status of compliance with wellestablished internal control systems of the Company and plan for mitigating the key risks associated with major activities of the Company. State-of-the-art Data Analytical Tool is also being used in Internal Audit for data analytics for identification of outliers, if any.
BEL's Internal Audit checks the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control system through regular audits, system reviews, process reviews, data analytics, etc. and provides assurance on compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements, internal policies and
procedures of the Company. Functioning of Internal Audit as well as Internal Control systems are periodically reviewed by Board-level Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, comprising Independent Directors, regularly reviews the audit plans, significant audit findings, adequacy of internal controls, and compliance with accounting standards and policies from time to time and issues directives for compliance to further strengthen the internal control system keeping in view the dynamic environment in which the Company is operating.
The Internal Audit Manual, 2023 of BEL outlines the internal audit process in line with the changes that are taking place in the business world with respect to the business process, statutory compliances and the expectation of the stakeholders. It addresses the areas relevant for the auditor's information and knowledge for conducting the audit in a meaningful way.

- Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted
to manage such wastes.
Hazardous Waste Management: When handling with hazardous waste, the principle of reduction, reuse, recovery and recycling is practiced. The production of hazardous waste has been reduced at the process level by introducing appropriate chemicals and procedures that produce less hazardous sludge in the wastewater detoxification process, in addition to the use of cleaner technologies. The use of sodium hypochlorite, and sodium metabisulfite in place of lime, bleach powder and iron sulphate help reduce the amount of hazardous sludge. In addition, the introduction of cyanide-free galvanizing and copper plating processes have helped reduce the production of hazardous waste. In the previous year, BEL achieved continual improvement by the elimination of IPA use in HF Oxide etching process in the solar plant. These initiatives resulted in generation of less hazardous waste. Bharat Electronics has set up a system for the safe handling of hazardous waste by creating an exclusive, well-protected place for the safe storage of hazardous waste. BEL has tied up with the State Pollution Control Board's Treatment, Storage & Disposal Facility operators to dispose of solid hazardous waste that can be land filled. Recyclable waste is handed over to authorised facilities of the Pollution Control Board for scientific processing and recycling. This system effectively prevents pollution from hazardous waste.
E-Waste Management: Electronic waste that is generated during the manufacturing of products is segregated, stored and handed over to authorised agencies of the Pollution Control Board for scientific processing, recovery and recycling. End of Life electronic waste such as computers and other electronic items are also handed over to authorised agencies of the Pollution Control Board for scientific processing, recovery and recycling. End of Life e-waste products such as electronic voting machines are received back under Extended Producer responsibility initiative and are disposed scientifically. Users of electronic products receive handling and disposal guidelines for the safe disposal of electronic waste after expiry. Efforts are being made to reduce the hazardous component in electronic products by introducing as many RoHS-compliant components as possible.
Solid Waste Management: BEL has put in place a source segregation system for proper handling of waste. Biodegradable waste such as food waste and green waste of colony is composted through the 1.0 tonne organic waste converter with an average of 0.45 to 0.6 Tons per day, wherein manure is generated. The manure so generated is used for horticulture application in the BEL Estate area. The green waste generated in BEL is subjected to natural composting. Leaf shredding machine is available for reduction of the size of green waste. In addition, the food waste generated in the factory canteen is transported to Bio-Methanation plant on daily basis. The anaerobic biogas plant is based on UASB technology with a capacity of 2.0 tonnes and leads to a saving of about 50 SCM PNG per day in cooking. Land fillable waste is sent to a well-established solid waste treatment facility for processing.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including its annexures, Corporate Governance and Shareholders information but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those charged with the Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The Management of the Company are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company, has adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
We have considered the audit report of six branches audited by Branch Auditor of the Company in forming our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Other Matters
- We did not audit the financial statements of six branches included in the standalone financial statements of the Company whose financial statements reflect total assets of
7,54,532 Lakhs as at 31 March 2023 and total revenues of6,01,569 Lakhs for the year ended on that date (as per the respective unit's Audited Financial Statement), as considered in the standalone financial statements. The financial statements of these branches

have been audited by the Branch Auditors appointed by Comptroller & Auditor General of India, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches, is based solely on the report of such Branch Auditors.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

"Annexure B" to the independent auditor's report of even date
(Referred to in paragraph 2(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report to the Members of Bharat Electronics Limited of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Bharat Electronics Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended on that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that
- 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
- 2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and
- 3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to the standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our Opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the company was able to provide us with sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the system of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements based on criteria considering the essential components of internal control as stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over
Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the standalone financial statements of the company, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023 and the related Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and our report even dated expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Satisfaction of performance obligation
A. In majority of the contract, performance obligation is satisfied "at a point in time" which is primarily determined on customer obtaining control of the asset. One of the prime indicator considered for this is transfer of significant risk and rewards to the customer based on Inco terms. Where a contract involves multiple performance obligation, the criteria specified in Ind AS 115 is applied to determine the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied.
B. Under "Bill and hold" arrangement performance obligation is satisfied on unconditional appropriation of the goods
C. Contract with the customer normally do not contain significant financing component and any advance payment received and /or amount retained by customer is with intention of protecting either parties to the contract.
D. Variable consideration primarily consists of amount receivable/reimbursable against foreign exchange variation clause. The amount of revenue recognised in respect of the same is determined based on the methodology specified in the
- to the contract. Normally no obligation towards custodial service exists.
- contract. The amount is recognised as revenue on accrual/admittance of claim by customer.
- E. The company's turnover mainly includes supply of defence electronics equipments and systems.
- F. Contract entered into with customer, typically do not have a return/refund clause.
- G. Warranties provided are primarily in the nature of performance warranty.
- arriving at the quantum of revenue to be recognised.
H. The company normally uses the input method to recognise revenue in respect of contracts in which performance obligation are satisfied over a period of time.

I. Contract with customer (other than AMC) in respect of which revenue is recognised over a period of time typically involves multiple activities of different nature like construction of building, supply and installation of equipments,

networking of equipment and system etc. Due to this it is not possible to quantify in physical terms the quantum of work done (i.e. output) reliably. Whereas, under input method, the cost incurred in respect of these varied activities can be captured and compared to the total estimated cost to be incurred (which can be estimated reliably), for arriving at the percentage of completion. In case of AMC contracts, output method is used to recognise revenue where passage of time is the criteria for satisfaction of performance obligation.
- J. For revenue recognition in respect of performance obligation satisfied at a "point in time" the following criteria is used for determining whether customer has obtained "Control on asset "
- Transfer of significant risk and rewards
- Customer has legal title to the asset
- The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset
- Customer has accepted the asset
- Entity has the present right to payment for the asset
- K. Transaction price is typically determined based on contract entered into with customer. Allocation of transaction price in respect to multiple obligation is based on relative standalone selling price.
- L. No non-cash considerations are received/given during the current/previous year.
An amount of Nil (` 247) (net) has been recognised as revenue during the year out of performance obligation satisfied in previous periods.

2 Fair value hierarchy
The hierarchy levels used for Fair value measurements of Financial instruments wherever applicable is given below:
| Particulars | As at 31 March 2023 | As at 31 March 2022 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Note | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| I | Financial Assets and Liabilities measured at Fair value – recurring fair value measurements |
|||||||
| A | Financial Assets | |||||||
| i | Financial Investments at FVPL | 6 | - | 44,910 | - | - | 1,33,896 | - |
| ii | Financial Investments at FVOCI - Unquoted |
6 | - | - | 16 | - | - | 14 |
| II | Financial Assets and Liabilities which are measured at Amortised Cost |
No separate Fair value is disclosed as the Carrying value of these Assets and Liabilities represents their Fair Value. |
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes Financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of Financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. This is the case of unlisted equity shares.
3 Valuation technique used to determine Fair Value
a. LIC Investment - (Level 2)
Based on valuation report of the Scheme provided by LIC.
b. Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd - (Level 3)
BEL has invested in equity securities of Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd. which is an unlisted company. The Company's cost of investment in Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd is only 5 (out of issued Share Capital of 163). The company has opted for Net Asset Value method for fair valuation.
c. Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO) - (Level 3)
BEL has contributed to equity capital of M/s Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO), a 'Not for Profit' Company as per the provisions of Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 with an objective of funding innovation in defence sector. The company has opted for Net Asset Value method for fair valuation.
Note 34 - Financial risk management
i) Risk Management framework and policies
The Company is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and price risk) as a result of financial instruments.
Board of Directors have the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Company's Risk Management framework. The Board has set up a Risk Management Committee, for this purpose, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies. The Company has an established Risk Management Policy that outlines risk management structure and provides a comprehensive frame work for identification, evaluation, prioritisation, treatment of various risks associated with different areas of finance and operations.
The company has a centralised Treasury function which is responsible to undertake appropriate measures to mitigate financial risk in accordance with the policies and procedures formulated by the Board. Hedging transactions are undertaken by a team with appropriate skills and experience in consultation with an external expert. The Company does not trade in derivatives for speculation.
ii) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk).
iii) Currency Risk
BEL is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions primarily relating to purchases and sales made in foreign currencies such as US Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen. Foreign exchange risk arises from existing and future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (INR).
The Company has a Board approved currency risk management policy implemented by a Risk Management Committee that reviews the Company's exposure to this risk on a regular basis. The Risk Management Policy recommends hedging upto 50% of the open foreign currency exposure. However the decision to enter into a hedging arrangement is made by the Risk Management Committee based on the relevant data inputs and the advice of the external specialist consultant retained for this purpose.
The Company's export proceeds are realised mostly by remittance into an Export Earners Foreign Currency account (EEFC) which is then utilised for payments to be made in foreign currency, thereby mitigating the currency risk on exports. Imports to the extent of around 12% (8%) of annual foreign exchange outgo are not covered by the Exchange Rate Variation (ERV) clause in the related customer contract and hence are open to currency risk. These imports are benchmarked as per the policy and appropriate decision on covering the risk is taken on a case to case basis. The Company's currency risk policy advocates forward contract hedging for mitigating risk wherever required.
As on 31 March 2023, there are no outstanding forward contracts.
The company's exposure to foreign currency risk in respect of major currencies is given below:
| As at 31 March 2023 | As at 31 March 2022 | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | USD EURO | GBP | CHF | J Yen | USD EURO GBP |
CHF | J Yen | ||||
| Trade Payable | 734 | 158 | 20 | 30 | 93 | 626 | 203 | 10 | 10 | 11 | |

| Net Exposure | 500 | 142 | 20 | 30 | 93 | 492 | 203 | 10 | 10 | 11 |
iv) Foreign Currency Sensitivity
The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rate arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments. The sensitivity to variations in respect of net exposure of major currencies is given below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

| Impact on Profit | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particular | As at 31 March 2023 |
As at 31 March 2022 |
|||
| USD – Increase by 5% | 2,076 | 1,885 | |||
| USD – Decrease by 5% | (2,076) | (1,885) | |||
| EURO – Increase by 5% | 648 | 874 | |||
| EURO – Decrease by 5% | (648) | (874) | |||
| GBP – Increase by 5% | 104 | 51 | |||
| GBP – Decrease by 5% | (104) | (51) | |||
| CHF – Increase by 5% | 137 | 42 | |||
| CHF – Decrease by 5% | (137) | (42) |
v) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.
vi) Variable Rate Borrowing
The company has been sanctioned a working capital limit of 5,00,000 ( 4,00,000). The sanctioned limit includes fund based limit of 50,000 ( 50,000) and non fund based limit of 4,50,000 ( 3,50,000). The fund based limit of 50,000 has not been utilised during the year [Outstanding as on 31 March 2023 is Nil (31 March 2022 is Nil)]. The outstanding balance as on 31.03.2023 with respect to non fund based limit is 2,37,600 (` 2,69,500). The interest is payable based on SBI's 3 months (1 Year) MCLR rate. As the borrowing is nil there is no impact on likely change in interest rates.
vii) Equity Price Risk
The company's exposure to equity price risk is negligible as its equity investment (other than in Subsidiaries and Associate) is negligible.
viii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Company could encounter if it faces difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities by delivering cash and other financial asset or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfill its commitments. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk is very minimal as it has a prudent liquidity risk management process in place which ensures maintaining adequate cash and marketable securities to pay its liabilities when they are due. To ensure continuity of funding, the Company has access to short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its ongoing working capital requirements and growth needs when necessary.
The Company meets its liquidity requirement mainly through internally generated cash flows which is monitored centrally by treasury. There is an established process of rolling cash forecasts from various operating units which form the basis for mapping expected cash inflows, to meet the liabilities.
The table below analyses the company's financial liabilities based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed are contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The company does not have any outstanding derivatives as on 31 March 2023.
ix) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalent with banks, security deposits and loans.
The credit risk of the Company is managed at a corporate level by the risk management committee which has established the credit policy norms for its customers and other receivables. Significant amount of trade receivables are due from Government / Government Departments, Public Sector Companies (PSUs) consequent to which the Company does not have a credit risk associated with such receivables. In case of non Government trade receivables, sales are generally carried out based on Letter of Credit established by the customer thereby reducing the credit risk.
In a few cases credit is extended to customers based on market conditions after assessing the solvency of the customer and the necessary due diligence to determine credit worthiness. Advance payments are made against bank guarantee which safeguards the credit risk associated with such payments. Impairment losses on financial assets (representing mainly liquidated damages leviable for delayed deliveries and other disallowances) have been made after factoring contractual terms, etc and other indicators.
The cash and cash equivalent with banks are in the form of short term deposits with maturity period of upto 1 year. The Company has a well structured Risk Mitigation Policy whereby there are preset limits for each bank based on its net worth and earning capacity which is reviewed on a periodic basis. The Company has not incurred any losses on account of default from banks on deposits.
The credit risk in respect of other financial assets is negligible as they are mostly due from Government department / parties.

x) Capital Management
The Company's Capital Management objective is to maintain a strong capital base to provide adequate returns to the shareholders and ensure the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The Company has a conservative approach for raising capital through debt but reserves the right to leverage this alternative at an appropriate time to fuel growth and maintain optimal capital structure.
As part of this overall objective, the Company has expanded capital base by issuing bonus shares in FY 2022-23. The Company has a well defined Dividend Distribution Policy which lays the framework for payments of dividend and retention of surplus for future growth and enhancing shareholders wealth. The Company has been sanctioned borrowing limits with banks to the tune of ` 5,00,000.

Note 36 - Critical estimates and judgments
While preparing the financial statements, management has made certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment are as under:
i. Research and Development Expenditure - Accounting Policy No. 10 - (Refer Note 5 and 12)
Developmental expenditure incurred with respect to No Cost No Commitment (NCNC) Projects and Joint developmental projects which are not fully compensated by the development partner are carried forward till the completion of project.
ii. Estimation of defined benefit obligation - Key actuarial assumptions - (Refer Note 21)
iii. Estimation of provision for warranty claims - (Refer Note 21)
Warranty provision computation involves estimation of average warranty cost based on trend based analysis. If the estimations made varies, the same will impact the expense recognised.
iv. Recognition of Revenue - (Refer Note 23)
Input methods towards performance obligations over time involves estimation of Stage of completion based on actual costs incurred to the estimated total costs expected to complete the contract. If the estimations made varies, the same will impact the Revenue recognised.
v Intangible assets (Refer Note 4 and 5)
Amount carried forward as other intangible assets and Intangible assets under development are tested for impairment annually with respect to certainity of future economic benefits.
vi Lease (Refer Note 1)
The company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirement of Ind AS 116. Identification of lease requires significant judgements. The company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated.
Note 37 - 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.
On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - This amendment has introduced a definition of 'accounting estimates' and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes - This amendment has narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023.

• Derivative financial instruments, if any
- Financial assets and liabilities that are qualified to be measured at fair value
- The defined benefit asset / liability is recognised as the present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets.
4. Functional and Presentation Currency

5. Revenue Recognition
A. Revenue from Contract with Customers
i. Revenue is recognised when (or as) the company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised goods or services (i.e., an Asset) to a Customer.
ii. Satisfaction of performance obligation over time
- a. Revenue is recognised overtime where the transfer of control of goods or services take places over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, if one of the following criteria is met:
- the company's performance entitles the customer to receive and consume the benefits simultaneously as the company performs
- the company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced
- the company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the company and the company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
- b. Progress made towards satisfying a performance obligation is assessed based on the ratio of actual costs incurred on the contract up to the reporting date to the estimated total costs expected to complete the contract. If the outcome of the performance obligation cannot be estimated reliably and where it is probable that the costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised to the extent of costs incurred.
- c. In case of AMC contracts, where passage of time is the criteria for satisfaction of performance
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
obligation, revenue is recognised using the output method.
iii. Satisfaction of performance obligation at a point in time
- a. In respect of cases where the transfer of control does not take place over time, the company recognises the revenue at a point in time when it satisfies the performance obligations.
- b. The performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the asset. The indicators for transfer of control include the following:
- the company has transferred physical possession of the asset
- the customer has legal title to the asset
- the customer has accepted the asset
- when the company has a present right to payment for the asset
- the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. The transfer of significant risks and rewards ownership is assessed based on the Inco- terms of the contracts.
Ex-Works contract – In case of Ex-works contract, revenue is recognised when the specified goods are unconditionally appropriated to the contract after prior Inspection and acceptance, if required.
FOR Contracts – In the case of FOR contracts, revenue is recognised when the goods are handed over to the carrier for transmission to the buyer after prior inspection and acceptance, if stipulated, and in the case of FOR destination contracts, if there is a reasonable expectation of the goods reaching destination within the accounting period.
c. Bill and hold Sales
Bill and hold sales is recognised when all the following criteria are met:
- the reason for the bill and hold sales is substantive
- the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer
- the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer
• the company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer
iv. Measurement
a. Revenue is recognised at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amount collected on behalf of third parties.
In case of price escalation and ERV, revenue is recognised at most likely amount to be realised from customer in line with contractual terms.
b. In case where the contracts involve multiple performance obligations, the company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the relative stand-alone selling price basis.
Bundled Contracts - In case of a Bundled contract, where separate fee for installation and commissioning or any other separately identifiable component is not stipulated, the Company applies the recognition criteria to separately identifiable components (sale of goods and installation and commissioning, etc.) of the transaction and allocates the revenue to those separate components based on stand-alone selling price.
Multiple Elements - In cases where the installation and commissioning or any other separately identifiable component is stipulated and price for the same agreed separately, the Company applies the recognition criteria to separately identified components (sale of goods and installation and commissioning, etc.) of the transaction and allocates the revenue to those separate components based on their stand-alone selling price.
c. If the stand-alone selling price is not available the company estimates the stand alone selling price.
v. Penalties
Penalties (including levy of liquidated damages for delay in delivery) specified in a contract are not treated as an

inherent part of Transaction Price if the levy of same is subject to review by the customer.
vi. Significant financing component
Advances received towards execution of Defence related projects are not considered for determining significant financing component since the objective is to protect the interest of the contracting parties.
In respect of other contracts, the existence of significant financing component is reviewed on a case to case basis.
B. Other Income
Recognition of other income is as follows:
i. Interest Income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
ii. Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established.
iii. Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless increase in rentals are in line with expected inflation or otherwise justified.
iv. Duty Drawbacks
Duty drawback claims on exports are accounted on accrual basis.
v. Other Income
Other income not specifically stated above is recognised on accrual basis.
6. Property, Plant and Equipment, Capital Work-in-Progress
Property, plant and equipment is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment losses, if any. Cost for this purpose includes all attributable costs for bringing the asset to its location and condition. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset
after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset, if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for their intended use as at each reporting date is disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Capital work-in-progress comprises supply-cum-erection contracts; the value of capital supplies received at site and accepted, capital goods in transit and under inspection.
7. Intangible Assets, Intangible Asset under Development
The cost of software (which is not an integral part of the related hardware) acquired for internal use and resulting in significant future economic benefits, is recognised as an Intangible Asset in the books of account when the same is ready for use. Intangible Assets that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the reporting date are classified as "Intangible Assets under Development".
Cost of Developmental work which is completed, wherever eligible, is recognised as an Intangible Asset.
Cost of Developmental work under progress, wherever eligible, is classified as "Intangible Assets under Development".
Intangible Asset under Development includes amount funded by the company to external agencies towards developmental project(s) and expenditure incurred by the company towards material cost, employee cost and other direct expenditure.
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated amortisation and cumulative impairment losses, if any.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Gains or losses on derecognition of intangible assets, if any, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
8. Depreciation / Amortisation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company, based on technical assessments, depreciates certain
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
items of building, plant and equipment and other asset classes over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total cost of the asset and estimated useful life of that part is different from the estimated useful life of the remaining asset, estimated useful life of that significant part is determined separately and the significant part is depreciated on straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation / amortisation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods, are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
9. Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the property, plant and equipment is derecognised.
10. Research and Development Expenditure
- (i) Expenditure on Research activity is recognised as an expense in the period when it is incurred.
- (ii) Development expenditure (other than on specific development - cum sales contracts and Developmental projects initiated at customer's request), is charged off as expenditure when incurred. Developmental expenditure on
development – cum - sale contracts and on Developmental projects initiated at customer's request are treated at par with other sales contracts.
Development expenditure incurred in respect of Joint development projects which are not fully compensated by the development partner are carried forward where the company is nominated as a production agency and future economic benefits are expected.
Developmental projects are reviewed periodically and the amount carried forward, if any, is charged off in the event of the project being declared closed by the customer / end user without any commitment to place order.
- (iii) Expenditure incurred towards other developmental activity (including joint developmental activity in collaboration with external agencies) where the research results or other knowledge is applied for developing new or improved products or processes, are recognised as an Intangible Asset if the recognition criteria specified in Ind AS 38 are met and when the product or process developed is expected to be technically and commercially usable, the company has sufficient resources to complete development and subsequently use or sell the intangible asset, and the product or process is likely to generate future economic benefits.
- (iv) Expenditure incurred on Developmental projects for participating in No Cost No Commitment (NCNC) trials, based on Request for Quote from customer, are carried forward till conclusion of the trials and will be amortised over the orders to be received.
In case customer order is immediately not forthcoming:
- the amount is capitalised if further economic benefit is expected from its use, or
- the amount is charged off in the event of the project being closed by the customer / end user without any commitment to place order.
11. Expenditure on Technical Know-How
Expenditure incurred on technical know-how is charged off to Statement of Profit and Loss on incurrence unless

it qualifies for recognition as an Intangible Asset either separately on its own or in combination with other assets / expenses.
12. Investment Property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
13. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in determining fair value less costs of disposal.
Reversal of impairment provision is made when there is an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU), either from use or sale, on reassessment after the date when impairment loss for that asset was last recognised.
14. Leases
Company as a Lessee:-
Contracts with third party, which give the company the right of use in respect of an Asset, are accounted in line with the provisions of Ind AS 116 – Leases, if the recognition criteria as specified in the Accounting standard are met.
Lease payments associated with Short terms leases and Leases in respect of Low value assets are charged off as expenses on straight line basis over lease term or other systematic basis, as applicable.
At commencement date, the value of "right of use" is capitalised at the present value of outstanding lease payments plus any initial direct cost and estimated cost, if any, of dismantling and removing the underlying asset and presented as part of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent measurement of right-of-use asset is made using Cost model.
Liability for lease is created for an amount equivalent to the present value of outstanding lease payments and presented as Borrowing.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability created and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Statement of Profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straightline basis.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the company's incremental borrowing rate.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
Company as a lessor:
Leases are classified as operating lease or a finance lease based on the recognition criteria specified in Ind AS 116 – Leases.
a) Finance Lease:
At commencement date, amount equivalent to the "net investment in the lease" is presented as a Receivable. The implicit interest rate is used to measure the value of the "net investment in Lease".
Each lease payment is allocated between the Receivable created and finance income. The finance income is recognised in the Statement
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
of Profit and loss over the lease period so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in Lease.
The asset is tested for de-recognition and impairment requirements as per Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
b) Operating Lease:
The company recognises lease payments from operating leases as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis, if required.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
15. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. General borrowing costs are capitalised to qualifying assets by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to general borrowings outstanding, other than specific borrowings. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
16. Government Grants
Grants from Government are measured at fair value and initially recognised as Deferred Income.
The amount lying in Deferred Income on account of acquisition of Fixed Asset is transferred to the credit of Statement of Profit and Loss in proportion to the depreciation charged on the respective assets to the extent attributable to Government Grants utilised for the acquisition.
The amount lying in Deferred Income on account of Revenue Expenses is transferred to the credit of Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent of expenditure incurred in the ratio of the funding to the total sanctioned cost, limited to the government grant received.
17. Investments in Joint Venture and Associates
The Company accounts for it's interests in associates and joint ventures in the separate financial statements at cost.
18. Inventories
All inventories of the Company other than disposable scrap are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Disposable scrap is valued at estimated net realisable value. Cost of materials is ascertained by using the weighted average cost formula.
Cost of Work - in - progress and finished goods include Materials, Direct Labour and appropriate overheads.
Adequate provision is made for inventory which are more than five years old which may not be required for further use.
19. Income Taxes
Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax.
(i) Current Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively and not in the statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses to the extent

that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
20. Provision for Warranties
Provision for expenditure on account of performance guarantee & replacement / repair of goods sold is made on the basis of trend based estimates.
In cases where a trend is not ascertainable, provision for warranty is made based on the best estimates of management.
21. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective currency exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency by using the closing exchange rate at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the dates of the initial transactions.
22. Employee Benefits
- (i) All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the related services are classified as short term employee benefits and they mainly include (a) Wages & Salaries; (b) Short-term compensated absences; (c) Profit-sharing, incentives and bonuses and (d) Non-monetary benefits such as medical care, subsidised transport, canteen facilities etc., which are valued on undiscounted basis and recognised during the period in which the related services are rendered.
- (ii) Incremental liability for payment of long term compensated absences such as Annual Leave, Sick Leave and Half Pay Leave is determined as the difference between present value of the obligation determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit
method and the carrying value of the provision contained in the balance sheet and provided for.
- (iii) Incremental liability for payment of Gratuity and Employee Provident fund to employees is determined as the difference between present value of the obligation determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit Method and the Fair Value of Plan Assets funded in an approved trust set up for the purpose for which monthly contributions are made in the case of provident fund and lump sum contributions in the case of gratuity.
- (iv) Incremental liability under BEL Retired Employees Contributory Health Scheme (BERECHS) is determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit Method and provided for.
- (v) Actuarial liability for the year is determined with reference to employees at the end of January of each year.
- (vi) Actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (asset) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset), to the net defined liability (asset) at the start of the financial year after taking into account any changes as a result of contribution and benefit payments during the year. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
(vii) Payments of voluntary retirement benefits are charged off to revenue on incurrence.
(viii) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company operates employee pension scheme and superannuation pension scheme for its employees that are categorised as a defined contribution plans. For defined contribution plans, the Company pays contributions to independently administered funds
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
at a fixed percentage of employees' pay. These contributions are recorded in the statement of profit and loss. The Company's liability is limited to the extent of contributions made to these funds.
23. Provisions
A. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
B. Contingent Liabilities/Assets
Contingent Liabilities/Assets to the extent the Management is aware, are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements.
24. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows.
25. Fair value Measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments, such as derivatives and other items in it's financial statements at fair value at each reporting date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.
26. Financial Assets
(i) Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value. In the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are included in the cost of the asset.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments measured at amortised cost,
- Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI),
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

(iii) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of a financial asset is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
(iv) Trade and Other Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which in most cases approximates the nominal value. If there is any subsequent indication that those assets may be impaired, they are reviewed for impairment.
27. Forward Contracts
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
28. Embedded Derivative
The embedded derivative, if required, is separated from host contract and measured at fair value.
29. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises of cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank overdrafts, if any, are classified as borrowings under current liabilities in the balance sheet.
30. Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets with credit risk exposure.
- a. Time barred dues from the government / government departments / government companies are generally not considered as increase in credit risk of such financial asset.
- b. Where dues are disputed in legal proceedings, provision is made if any decision is given against
the Company even if the same is taken up on appeal to higher authorities / courts.
c. Dues outstanding for significant period of time are reviewed and provision is made on a case to case basis.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) is recognised as expense / income in the statement of profit and loss.
31. Financial Liabilities
(i) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, at fair value through profit or loss as loans, borrowings, payables, or derivatives, as appropriate.
Loans, borrowings and payables, are stated net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to them.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial Liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined in Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Loans and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised as profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
(iv) Trade and Other Payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.
32. Reclassification of Financial Instruments
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively.
33. Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
34. Cash Dividend and Non-Cash distribution to Equity Holders
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or noncash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
35. Errors and Estimates
The Company revises it's accounting policies if the change is required due to a change in Ind AS or if the change will provide more relevant and reliable information to the users of the financial statements. Changes in accounting policies are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to apply.
A change in an accounting estimate that results in changes in the carrying amounts of recognised assets or liabilities or to statement of profit and loss is applied prospectively in the period(s) of change.
Discovery of material errors results in revisions retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts of assets, liabilities and equity of the earliest prior period in which the error is discovered. The opening balances of the earliest period presented are also restated.
36. Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
37. Events after the Reporting Period
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorisation for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including its annexures, Corporate Governance and Shareholders information but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those charged with the Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group and its associate in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and its associate and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate are responsible for assessing the ability of the group and its associate to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group and its Associate are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the group and of its associate.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the group and its associate, has adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the group and its associate to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group and of its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matters
- We did not audit the financial statements of two subsidiaries whose financial statements reflect total assets of
48,646 Lakhs as at 31 March 2023 and total revenues of15,656 Lakhs and net cash flows amounting to1,968 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Consolidated financial statements. The Consolidated financial statements also include Subsidiaries' share of net profit (including Other Comprehensive Income) of1,396 Lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2023, whose financial statements have not been audited by us.
The Consolidated financial statements reflect Group's share of net assets of 20,083 Lakhs and net profit (including other comprehensive income) of 4,584 Lakhs in the Associate whose financial statements have not been audited by us.

"Annexure A" to the independent auditor's report of even date
(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report to the Members of Bharat Electronics Limited of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2023, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of Bharat Electronics Limited ("the Holding Company") and its subsidiaries companies, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Board Of Directors of the Holding company and its Subsidiary companies, which are incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to consolidated financial statements, criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding company and its subsidiaries based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate
internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the 'Other Matters' paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding company and its subsidiaries.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements
A Company's internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that
- 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
- 2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and
3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our Opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the holding company and its subsidiaries companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, based on the internal control with reference to consolidated financial statements criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control as stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements in so far as it relates to two subsidiary companies and one Associate company, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the consolidated financial statements of the holding company, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023 and the related consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and our report even dated expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Defined Benefit Plans
(i) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation as of the balance sheet date. As at March 31, 2021 the Gratuity plan of the company is unfunded and no assets are maintained by the company and asset values are taken as zero; there is liquidity risk in that they may run out of cash.
These plans typically expose the company to actuarial risks such as: Interest rate risk, Liquidity risk, Salary escalation risk, demographic Risk and Regulatory risk.
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to non availability of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
Interest rate risk in financial statements). Salary escalation risk Demographic risk limit on gratuity of ` 20,00,000).
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Regulatory risk Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum

The Company has got a defined contribution pension benefit plan for the benefit of its employees in respect of which contribution is made on an annual basis to a Trust setup for this purpose.
The benefit under the scheme are available for the employees as per the rules laid down in this regard.
i) A narrative description of the specific or unusual risks arising from a defined benefit plan (i.e. Gratuity and BERECHS)
The specific risk relating to defined benefit plans are as follows:-
Movement in long term government bond rate between two reporting periods which will impact discount rate and consequently the present value of obligations.
Risk of higher / lower salary escalation / benefit as considered for valuation vis-a-vis the actual experience through the Financial Year.
However, both the risks are mitigated on a regular basis i.e. yearly as valuations are done after every year based on updated assumptions.
ii) A narrative description of any asset-liability matching strategies.
The gratuity plan of the company is a funded plan. The assets backing this plan are predominantly insurer-managed funds. Hence the company has limited flexibility in terms of implementing asset-liability matching strategies for this plan.
The post retirement medical plan of the company is an unfunded plan. Hence asset-liability matching strategies are not relevant for this plan.
iii) A description of the funding arrangements and funding policy.
The Gratuity plan of the company is a funded plan. 98.67% (98.70%) of the plan assets backing this plan are insurer managed assets and 1.32% (1.29%) of the plan assets are invested in Central and State Government Securities. The annual contribution to the fund is normally set equal to the deficit as disclosed by the preceding actuarial valuation of the benefit obligations.
The post-retirement medical plan [BERECHS] is an unfunded plan.

Satisfaction of performance obligation
a. In majority of the contract, performance obligation is satisfied "at a point in time" which is primarily determined on customer obtaining control of the asset. One of the prime indicator considered for this is transfer of significant risk and rewards to the customer based on Inco terms. Where a contract involves multiple performance obligation, the criteria specified in Ind AS 115 is applied to determine the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied.
- b. Under "Bill and hold" arrangement performance obligation is satisfied on unconditional appropriation of the goods to the contract. Normally no obligation towards custodial service exists.
- c. Contract with the customer normally do not contain significant financing component and any advance payment received and / or amount retained by customer is with intention of protecting either parties to the contract.
- d. Variable consideration primarily consists of amount receivable / reimburseable against foreign exchange variation clause. The amount of revenue recognised in respect of the same is determined based on the methodology specified in the contract. The amount is recognised as revenue on admittance/accrual of claim by customer.
- e. The Group turnover mainly includes supply of defence electronics equipments and systems.
- f. Contract entered into with customer, typically do not have a return / refund clause.
- g. Warranties provided are primarily in the nature of performance warranty.
- h. The company normally uses the input method to recognise revenue is respect of contracts in which performance obligation are satisfied over a period of time. For revenue recognition, the percentage of completion method is adopted where in the percentage of actual cost incurred to total estimated cost is applied to the contract price for arriving at the quantum of revenue to be recognised.
- i. Contract with customer (other than AMC) in respect of which revenue is recognised over a period of time typically involves multiple activities of different nature like construction of building, supply and installation of equipments, networking of equipment and system etc. Due to this it is not possible to quantify in physical terms the quantum of work done (i.e. output) reliably. Whereas, under input method, the cost incurred in respect of these varied activities can be captured and compared to the total estimated cost to be incurred (which can be estimated reliably), for arriving at the percentage of completion. In case of AMC contracts, output method is used to recognise revenue where passage of time is the criteria for satisfaction of performance obligation.
- j. For revenue recognition in respect of performance obligation satisfied at a "point in time" the following criteria is used for determining whether customer has obtained "Control on asset".
- Transfer of significant risk and rewards
- Customer has legal title to the asset
- The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset
- Customer has accepted the asset
- Entity has the present right to payment for the asset
- k. Transaction price is typically determined based on contract entered into with customer. Allocation of transaction price in respect to multiple obligation is based on relative standalone selling price.
- l. No non-cash consideration are received / given during the current / previous year.
- (iii) An amount of Nil (` 247) (net) has been recognised as revenue during the year out of performance obligation satisfied in previous periods.

2 Fair value hierarchy
The hierarchy levels used for Fair value measurements of Financial instruments wherever applicable is given below:
| Note | As at 31 March 2023 | As at 31 March 2022 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| I | Financial Assets and Liabilities measured at Fair value – recurring fair value measurements | |||||||
| A | Financial Assets | |||||||
| i | Financial Investments at FVPL | 6 | - | 44,910 | - | - 1,33,896 | - | |
| ii | Financial Investments at FVOCI - Unquoted | 6 | - | - | 16 | - | - | 14 |
| II | Financial Assets and Liabilities which are measured at Amortised Cost |
No separate Fair value is disclosed as the Carrying value of these Assets and Liabilities represents their Fair Value. |
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes Financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of Financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. This is the case of unlisted equity shares.
3 Valuation technique used to determine Fair Value [Parent company]:-
a. LIC Investment - (Level 2)
Based on valuation report of the Scheme provided by LIC.
b. Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd - (Level 3)
BEL has invested in equity securities of Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd. which is an unlisted company. The Company's cost of investment in Mana Effluent Treatment Plant Ltd is only 5 (out of issued Share Capital of 163). The company has opted for Net Asset Value method for fair valuation.
c Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO) - (Level 3)
BEL has contributed towards equity capital of M/s Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO), a 'Not for Profit' Company as per the provisions of Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 with an objective of funding innovation in defence sector. The company has opted for Net Asset Value method for fair valuation.
Note 34 - Financial risk management
i. Risk Management framework and policies
The Group is broadly exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and price risk) as a result of financial instruments.
Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment, monitoring and supervision of the Group's Risk Management Framework. The Board has set up a Risk Management Committee, for this purpose, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies. The Group has an established Risk Management Policy that outlines risk management structure and provides a comprehensive frame work for identification, evaluation, prioritisation, treatment of various risks associated with different areas of finance and operations.
The parent company has a centralised Treasury function which is responsible to undertake appropriate measures to mitigate financial risk in accordance with the policies and procedures formulated by the Board. Hedging transactions are undertaken by a team with appropriate skills and experience in consultation with an external expert. The Group does not trade in derivatives for speculation.
ii. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate movements (refer to notes below on currency risk and interest risk).
iii. Currency Risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions primarily relating to purchases and sales made in foreign currencies such as US Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen. Foreign exchange risk arises from existing and future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency (INR).
The Group has a Board approved currency risk management policy implemented by a Risk Management Committee that reviews the Company's exposure to this risk on a regular basis. The Risk Management Policy recommends hedging upto 50% of the open foreign currency exposure. However the decision to enter into a hedging arrangement is made by the Risk Management Committee based on the relevant data inputs and the advice of the external specialist consultant retained for this purpose.

The Parent Company's export proceeds are realised mostly by remittance into an Export Earners Foreign Currency account (EEFC) which is then utilised for payments to be made in foreign currency, thereby mitigating the currency risk on exports. Imports to the extent of around 12% (8%) of annual foreign exchange outgo are not covered by the Exchange Rate Variation (ERV) clause in the related customer contract and hence are open to currency risk. These imports are benchmarked as per the policy and appropriate decision on covering the risk is taken on a case to case basis. The Company's currency risk policy advocates forward contract hedging for mitigating risk wherever required.
As on 31 March 2023, there are no outstanding forward contracts.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk in respect of major currencies is given below:
| Particulars | As at 31 March 2023 | As at 31 March 2022 | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD EURO | GBP | CHF J Yen USD EURO GBP CHF 30 93 626 204 10 10 - - 134 10 - - 30 93 492 194 10 10 |
J Yen | |||||||
| Trade Payable | 734 | 166 | 20 | 11 | ||||||
| Trade Receivable / Contract Asset | 234 | 18 | - | - | ||||||
| Net Exposure | 500 | 148 | 20 | 11 |
iv. Foreign Currency sensitivity
The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rate arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments. The sensitivity to variations in respect of major currencies is given below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
| Impact on Profit | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | As at 31 March 2023 |
As at 31 March 2022 |
||
| USD – Increase by 5% | 2,076 | 1,885 | ||
| USD – Decrease by 5% | (2,076) | (1,885) | ||
| EURO – Increase by 5% | 677 | 835 | ||
| EURO – Decrease by 5% | (677) | (835) | ||
| GBP – Increase by 5% | 102 | 51 | ||
| GBP – Decrease by 5% | (102) | (51) | ||
| CHF – Increase by 5% | 135 | 42 | ||
| CHF – Decrease by 5% | (135) | (42) |
v Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing instruments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in market interest rates.
vi. Variable Rate Borrowing:
The parent company has been sanctioned a working capital limit of 5,00,000 ( 4,00,000). The sanctioned limit includes fund based limit of 50,000 ( 50,000) and non fund based limit of 4,50,000 ( 3,50,000). The fund based limit of 50,000 has not been utilised during the year [Outstanding as on 31 March 2023 is Nil (31 March 2022 is Nil)]. The outstanding balance as on 31.03.2023 with respect to non fund based limit is 2,37,600 (` 2,69,500). The interest is payable based on SBI's 3 months (1 Year) MCLR rate. As the borrowing is nil there is no impact on likely change in interest rates.
In case of subsidiary company [BELOP] has also been sanctioned fund based and non-fund based working capital limits of ` 2,500 by the consortium bankers of SBI (Lead Bank) and Axis Bank. The rate of interest is 7.10% p.a. (SBI). The rate of interest charged by SBI and Axis Bank are linked to their base rate which is subject to fluctuations. Outstanding as on 31 March 2023 is Nil in respect of which interest payable is based on SBI and Axis Bank's base rate (as per the terms and conditions, both SBI and Axis Bank are eligible to reset the interest charged on periodic basis).
vii Equity Price Risk
The Group's exposure to equity price risk is negligible as its equity investment (other than in Associate) is negligible.
viii. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Group could encounter if it faces difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities by delivering cash and other financial asset or the risk that the Company will face difficulty in raising financial resources required to fulfill its commitments. The Group's exposure to liquidity risk is very minimal as it has a prudent liquidity risk management process in place which ensures maintaining adequate cash and marketable securities to pay its liabilities when they are due. To ensure continuity of funding, the group has access to short-term bank facilities in the nature of bank overdraft facility, cash credit facility and short-term borrowings to fund its ongoing working capital requirements and growth needs when necessary.
The Group meets its liquidity requirement mainly through internally generated cash flows which is monitored centrally by treasury. There is an established process of rolling cash forecasts from various operating units which form the basis for mapping expected cash inflows, to meet the liabilities.
The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed are contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The Group does not have any outstanding derivatives as on 31 March 2023.

ix. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from customers, cash and cash equivalent with banks, security deposits and loans.
The credit risk of the Parent Company is managed at a corporate level by the risk management committee which has established the credit policy norms for its customers and other receivables. Significant amount of trade receivables are due from Government/Government Departments, Public Sector Companies (PSUs) consequent to which the Company does not have a credit risk associated with such receivables. In case of non Government trade receivables, sales are generally carried out based on Letter of Credit established by the customer thereby reducing the credit risk.
In a few cases credit is extended to customers based on market conditions after assessing the solvency of the customer and the necessary due diligence to determine credit worthiness. Advance payments are made against bank guarantee which safeguards the credit risk associated with such payments. Impairment losses on financial assets (representing mainly liquidated damages leviable for delayed deliveries and other disallowances) have been made after factoring contractual terms, etc and other indicators.
The cash and cash equivalent with banks are in the form of short term deposits with maturity period of upto 1 year in case of parent company. The Parent Company has a well structured Risk Mitigation Policy whereby there are preset limits for each bank based on its net worth and earning capacity which is reviewed on a periodic basis. The Parent Company has not incurred any losses on account of default from banks on deposits.
The credit risk in respect of other financial assets is negligible as they are mostly due from government department / parties.
x. Capital Management
The Group's Capital Management objective is to maintain a strong capital base to provide adequate returns to the shareholders and ensure the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The Group has a conservative approach for raising capital through debt but reserves the right to leverage this alternative at an appropriate time to fuel growth and maintain optimal capital structure.
As part of this overall objective, the Parent Company has expanded capital base by issuing bonus shares in FY 2022-23. The Parent company has a well defined Dividend Distribution Policy which lays the framework for payments of dividend and retention of surplus for future growth and enhancing shareholders wealth. The parent Company has been sanctioned borrowing limits with banks to the tune of 5,00,000 ( 4,00,000).

- the company has transferred physical possession of the asset
- the customer has legal title to the asset
- the customer has accepted the asset
- when the company has a present right to payment for the asset

The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset, if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for their intended use as at each reporting date is disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Capital work-in-progress comprises supply-cum-erection contracts; the value of capital supplies received at site and accepted, capital goods in transit and under inspection.
7. Intangible Assets, Intangible Asset under Development
The cost of software (which is not an integral part of the related hardware) acquired for internal use and resulting in significant future economic benefits, is recognised as an Intangible Asset in the books of account when the same is ready for use. Intangible Assets that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the reporting date are classified as "Intangible Assets under Development".
Cost of Developmental work which is completed, wherever eligible, is recognised as an Intangible Asset.
Cost of Developmental work under progress, wherever eligible, is classified as "Intangible Assets under Development".
Intangible Asset under Development includes amount funded by the company to external agencies towards developmental project(s) and expenditure incurred by the company towards material cost, employee cost and other direct expenditure.
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated amortisation and cumulative impairment losses, if any.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Gains or losses on derecognition of intangible assets, if any, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
8. Depreciation / Amortisation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company, based on technical assessments, depreciates certain items of building, plant and equipment and other asset classes over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total cost of the asset and estimated useful life of that part is different from the estimated useful life of the remaining asset, estimated useful life of that significant part is determined separately and the significant part is depreciated on straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation / amortisation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods, are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
9. Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount
of the property, plant and equipment) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the property, plant and equipment is derecognised.
10. Research and Development Expenditure
- (i) Expenditure on Research activity is recognised as an expense in the period when it is incurred.
- (ii) Development expenditure (other than on specific development - cum sales contracts and Developmental projects initiated at customer's request), is charged off as expenditure when incurred. Developmental expenditure on development – cum - sale contracts and on Developmental projects initiated at customer's request are treated at par with other sales contracts.
Development expenditure incurred in respect of Joint development projects which are not fully compensated by the development partner are carried forward where the company is nominated as a production agency and future economic benefits are expected.
Developmental projects are reviewed periodically and the amount carried forward, if any, is charged off in the event of the project being declared closed by the customer / end user without any commitment to place order.
- (iii) Expenditure incurred towards other developmental activity (including joint developmental activity in collaboration with external agencies) where the research results or other knowledge is applied for developing new or improved products or processes, are recognised as an Intangible Asset if the recognition criteria specified in Ind AS 38 are met and when the product or process developed is expected to be technically and commercially usable, the company has sufficient resources to complete development and subsequently use or sell the intangible asset, and the product or process is likely to generate future economic benefits.
- (iv) Expenditure incurred on Developmental projects for participating in No Cost No Commitment (NCNC) trials, based on Request for Quote from customer,
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Consolidated Financial Statements
are carried forward till conclusion of the trials and will be amortised over the orders to be received.
In case customer order is immediately not forthcoming:
- the amount is capitalised if further economic benefit is expected from its use, or
- the amount is charged off in the event of the project being closed by the customer / end user without any commitment to place order.
11. Expenditure on Technical Know-How
Expenditure incurred on technical know-how is charged off to Statement of Profit and Loss on incurrence unless it qualifies for recognition as an Intangible Asset either separately on its own or in combination with other assets / expenses.
12. Investment Property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
13. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in determining fair value less costs of disposal.
Reversal of impairment provision is made when there is an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU), either from use or sale, on reassessment after the date when impairment loss for that asset was last recognised.
14. Leases
Company as a Lessee:-
Contracts with third party, which give the company the right of use in respect of an Asset, are accounted in line with the provisions of Ind AS 116 – Leases, if the recognition criteria as specified in the Accounting standard are met.
Lease payments associated with Short terms leases and Leases in respect of Low value assets are charged off as expenses on straight line basis over lease term or other systematic basis, as applicable.
At commencement date, the value of "right of use" is capitalised at the present value of outstanding lease payments plus any initial direct cost and estimated cost, if any, of dismantling and removing the underlying asset and presented as part of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent measurement of right-of-use asset is made using Cost model.
Liability for lease is created for an amount equivalent to the present value of outstanding lease payments and presented as Borrowing.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability created and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Statement of Profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straightline basis.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the company's incremental borrowing rate.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
Company as a lessor:
Leases are classified as operating lease or a finance lease based on the recognition criteria specified in Ind AS 116 – Leases.
a) Finance Lease:
At commencement date, amount equivalent to the "net investment in the lease" is presented as a Receivable. The implicit interest rate is used to measure the value of the "net investment in Lease".
Each lease payment is allocated between the Receivable created and finance income. The finance income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and loss over the lease period so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in Lease.
The asset is tested for de-recognition and impairment requirements as per Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
b) Operating lease:
The company recognises lease payments from operating leases as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis, if required.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
15. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. General borrowing costs are capitalised to qualifying assets by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to general borrowings outstanding, other than specific borrowings. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
16. Government Grants
Grants from Government are measured at fair value and initially recognised as Deferred Income.
The amount lying in Deferred Income on account of acquisition of Fixed Asset is transferred to the credit of Statement of Profit and Loss in proportion to the depreciation charged on the respective assets to the extent attributable to Government Grants utilised for the acquisition.
The amount lying in Deferred Income on account of Revenue Expenses is transferred to the credit of Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent of expenditure incurred in the ratio of the funding to the total sanctioned cost, limited to the government grant received.
17. Inventories
All inventories of the Company other than disposable scrap are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Disposable scrap is valued at estimated net realisable value. Cost of materials is ascertained by using the weighted average cost formula.
Cost of Work - in - progress and finished goods include Materials, Direct Labour and appropriate overheads.
Adequate provision is made for inventory which are more than five years old which may not be required for further use.
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Consolidated Financial Statements
18. Income Taxes
Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax.
(i) Current Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively and not in the statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
19. Provision for Warranties
Provision for expenditure on account of performance guarantee & replacement / repair of goods sold is made on the basis of trend based estimates.
In cases where a trend is not ascertainable, provision for warranty is made based on the best estimates of management.
20. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective currency exchange rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency by using the closing exchange rate at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the dates of the initial transactions.
21. Employee Benefits
- (i) All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the related services are classified as short term employee benefits and they mainly include (a) Wages & Salaries; (b) Short-term compensated absences; (c) Profit-sharing, incentives and bonuses and (d) Non-monetary benefits such as medical care, subsidised transport, canteen facilities etc., which are valued on undiscounted basis and recognised during the period in which the related services are rendered.
- (ii) Incremental liability for payment of long term compensated absences such as Annual Leave, Sick Leave and Half Pay Leave is determined as the difference between present value of the obligation determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit method and the carrying value of the provision contained in the balance sheet and provided for.
- (iii) Incremental liability for payment of Gratuity and Employee Provident fund to employees is determined as the difference between present value of the obligation determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit Method and the Fair Value of Plan Assets funded in an approved trust set up for the purpose for which monthly contributions are made in the case of provident fund and lump sum contributions in the case of gratuity.
- (iv) Incremental liability under BEL Retired Employees Contributory Health Scheme (BERECHS) is determined annually on actuarial basis using Projected Unit Credit Method and provided for.
- (v) Actuarial liability for the year is determined with reference to employees at the end of January of each year.

(vi) Actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (asset) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset), to the net defined liability (asset) at the start of the financial year after taking into account any changes as a result of contribution and benefit payments during the year. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
- (vii) Payments of voluntary retirement benefits are charged off to revenue on incurrence.
- (viii) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company operates employee pension scheme and superannuation pension scheme for its employees that are categorised as a defined contribution plans. For defined contribution plans, the Company pays contributions to independently administered funds at a fixed percentage of employees' pay. These contributions are recorded in the statement of profit and loss. The Company's liability is limited to the extent of contributions made to these funds.
22. Provisions
A. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
B. Contingent Liabilities/Assets
Contingent Liabilities/Assets to the extent the Management is aware, are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements.
23. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows.
24. Fair value Measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments, such as derivatives and other items in it's financial statements at fair value at each reporting date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.
25. Financial Assets
(i) Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value. In the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are included in the cost of the asset.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments measured at amortised cost,
- Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI),
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
(iii) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of a financial asset is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
(iv) Trade and Other Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which in most cases approximates the nominal value. If there is any subsequent indication that those assets may be impaired, they are reviewed for impairment.
26. Forward Contracts
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
27. Embedded Derivative
The embedded derivative, if required, is separated from host contract and measured at fair value.
28. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises of cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank overdrafts, if any, are classified as borrowings under current liabilities in the balance sheet.
29. Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets with credit risk exposure.
- a. Time barred dues from the government / government departments / government companies are generally not considered as increase in credit risk of such financial asset.
- b. Where dues are disputed in legal proceedings, provision is made if any decision is given against the Company even if the same is taken up on appeal to higher authorities / courts.
- c. Dues outstanding for significant period of time are reviewed and provision is made on a case to case basis.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) is recognised as expense / income in the statement of profit and loss.
30. Financial Liabilities
(i) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, at fair value through profit or loss as loans, borrowings, payables, or derivatives, as appropriate.

Loans, borrowings and payables, are stated net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to them.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial Liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined in Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Loans and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised as profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(iv) Trade and Other Payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.
31. Reclassification of Financial Instruments
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively.
32. Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
33. Cash Dividend and Non-Cash distribution to Equity Holders
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or noncash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
34. Errors and Estimates
The Company revises it's accounting policies if the change is required due to a change in Ind AS or if the change will provide more relevant and reliable information to the users of the financial statements. Changes in accounting policies are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to apply.
A change in an accounting estimate that results in changes in the carrying amounts of recognised assets or liabilities or to statement of profit and loss is applied prospectively in the period(s) of change.
Discovery of material errors results in revisions retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts of assets, liabilities and equity of the earliest prior period in which the error is discovered. The opening balances of the earliest period presented are also restated.
35. Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Significant Accounting Policies on Ind AS Consolidated Financial Statements
36. Events after the Reporting Period
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorisation for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed.
37. Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements of the Holding Company together with the audited financial statements of its subsidiary companies and step down subsidiary company have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together all the items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating all the intra group balances and transactions. Interest in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of profit or loss and Other Comprehensive Income of equity accounted investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.
The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise the amount of the relevant reserves as per the balance sheet of the Holding Company and its share in the post - acquisition increase in the relevant increase of the subsidiary companies and step down subsidiary company.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Holding Company's financial statements.
The excess of cost to the company of its investments in subsidiary companies and step down subsidiary company over its share of the equity of the subsidiary companies and step down subsidiary company at the date on which the investments are made, is recognised as "Goodwill on consolidation" being an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary companies and step down subsidiary company as on the date of the investment is in excess of cost of investment of the Holding Company, it is recognised as "Capital reserve" and shown under the head "Reserves and surplus", in the consolidated financial statements.
