Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to present to you, on behalf of our Board of Directors, a report on your Company's performance in FY20.

During the year, we delivered strong meaningful innovations for customers across our business lines and supported our new product introductions with increased marketing spends, improving our brand recall and awareness. Our Go-to-Market strategy enabled us to add quality channel partners and also improved our distribution reach in existing geographies over last year. Information technology continued to be a significant business enabler. Integration of powerful IT tools in our supply chain operations and sales function delivered improved business efficiency by enabling better engagement of stakeholders in the value chain and enhanced ease of doing business.

Our Go-to-Market strategy enabled us to add quality channel partners and also improved our distribution reach in existing geographies over last year.

Macro-economic Overview

The sluggish global economy of 2019 affected India, too, along with the homegrown cyclical economic issues. The country's GDP growth fell to below 5% in FY20, a sharp slide from 6.8% in FY19. The last quarter of the financial year was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, impacting our supply side as well as demand resulting from a total lockdown of the country in the last two weeks of the fiscal. The lockdown dragged down economic activities across India in March 2020, and Crompton felt the recessionary impact as well. The extended lockdown will impact the overall growth in the next fiscal significantly across sectors, and the first quarter is expected to be severely impacted. We do expect the impact to ease during the second quarter though normalcy may be fully restored only during second half of the fiscal. During this period, we expect to see recovery, driven by our market-leading innovations, once the economy fully opens up again. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we took all precautionary measures for business continuity while maintaining safety norms laid down by the Government of India.

Growth Drivers

India's march towards energy-efficient urbanisation and rural electrification will continue owing to the Government's continued focus to drive electrification and affordable housing under various schemes. We offer unmatched value and innovation to consumers, in both the mass and the premium segments, catering to those new consumers of electrical goods and those who are more aspirational buyers. Gross disposable income and per capita income have both increased in India, giving the average households better resources for appliance upgrades.

Business Performance

During the year, our Total Income was 4,570.84 crore. Profit After Tax was 494.70 crore, up by 22% from `402.52 crore in the year before.

The Electrical Consumer Durables (ECD) segment displayed a growth of 5.46%. Until the impact of imposed lockdown on demand in March 2020, this segment was delivering strong double-digit growth. Portfolio refresh of Water Heaters and Air Coolers delivered significant traction in the market. New product introductions across business segments such

as Duratech and SilentPro in Fans and Wide voltage and Ultima series of agricultural pumps in Pumps also contributed to this growth. In the Lighting segment, LED segment registered high single digit volume growth and the segment witnessed relative price stabilisation in the second half of the year. Inverter lamps was a consumer meaningful innovation launched during the year which works even during power failure.

I am happy to report that through our cost control programme, Project Unnati, we have managed to save `144 crore in the year under review. We are ploughing back these savings into disruptive concepts, designs, and technology.

Five-dimensional Growth Strategy

Our five-pillar growth strategy gives us a clear direction, and these are the highlights of the year:

Brand excellence: We have promoted Crompton through multiple channels as a brand for consumers of the new millennium, as aspirational and tech-forward as they are value-conscious. Everything we do mirrors what consumers want for a perfect life.
Portfolio excellence: We continued giving consumers unprecedented engineering through our differentiated products, for instance the human-centric lighting system that offers 'colour temperature control' for indoor illumination to mimic sunlight. Digital and solar technology were harnessed for our range of pumps. Premium range of fans such as SilentPro and Energion offered appealing aesthetics coupled with technology upgrades resulting in significant energy savings.
Go-to-Market excellence: We focussed on being everywhere we should be to take full advantage of the new demand in uncharted territories and to cater to the growing demand in our existing territories. Both distribution and sales got the digital push for better datagathering and decision-making.
Operational excellence: We invested heavily in information technology to control costs and improve performance. Through backward integration in fans, we have added to our in-house capacity and capability.

Organisational excellence: We conducted an employee survey with a 96% response rate and this has formed the basis of in-depth work in several areas. Data-driven tools were used for hiring and performance assessment.

Looking Ahead

We have everything we need to take our leadership position further, though the past year has shown that significant challenges will remain in the coming year. We shall continue to implement our 5 pillar strategy, leveraging big data to create a leaner and stronger Crompton.

Sincerely,

Hemant Nerurkar

Chairman

Our 5-Dimensional Growth Strategy

Brand Excellence

Our focus has been on promoting Crompton as an aspirational and innovative brand that is focussed on meeting the needs and desires of all its consumers. Today's consumers, as our insight shows, follow a combined digital and physical journey as part of the purchase process. We have focussed on the critical touchpoints in the consumer journey to build brand awareness and preference in an impactful manner.

We ramped up our brand awareness efforts across media to increase consumer recall of our products such as the Aura ceiling fan (with 5-year Duratech warranty) and the Anti-Bac LED bulb. These products have disrupted the market with never-seen-before features such as a five-year warranty, displaying our commitment to engineering reliability, and a function of killing bacteria, respectively.

The ability to put ourselves in the consumers' shoes lets us take note of the smallest detail and make a big difference. We worked on increasing consumer awareness about our appliances segment, with our first large-scale advertising campaign on water heaters, positioning the benefit as 'The Perfect Hot Water' and this resulted in much stronger sales and market share gains.

To assess and improve retailer knowledge of our products, a knowledge essential for correctly informing customers and thereby pushing sales, we ran a mystery shopper programme. The Cricket World Cup 2019 gave us a huge viewership to create awareness for our fans and LED lights. Digital advertising efforts were expanded, as we launched specific campaigns on personal digital devices. This was complemented by tie-ups with and driving digital traffic to major e-commerce platforms.

All our brand promotion activities are aligned with the consumers' journey, and data analytics enable us to understand which direction we should take next. We are a company whose innovative products surpass consumer expectations and our campaigns are structured to build awareness and recall of our brand.

Portfolio Excellence

Our products are not only designed with best-in-class technology and a customer-centric approach, but they are also upgraded continually to match evolving needs. The main focus is on product differentiation, enhancing value and performance enhancement, be it in the affordable category or the premium category. We are achieving this through digital solutions and the use of new, improved materials and components.

We have refreshed our entire range of water heaters and incorporated power-saving technologies in fans, lights, and appliances. Some of these enhancements are part of premiumisation, where we have identified such an opportunity.

Technology has been harnessed in various ways to add value and improve efficiency. The Internet of Things is core to our professional lighting segment and we have launched a wireless indoor lighting control system aligned with the circadian rhythm of the human body. Also, one of our industry-first innovations is a pump with a digital control panel, with a single-phase preventive switch-off feature.

In the category of fans, a segment in which we are the market leader, we have invested significantly in consumer research and laboratory research and development. Attuned to consumer needs, we launched the SilentPro fan, a product that, as the name indicates, makes no noise and ensures excellent air delivery.

Committed to a consumer-led value proposition, we launched inverter bulbs that have a backup capacity and continue to remain lit even after a power failure. The two variants of this inverter bulb have one-hour and four-hour backup capacities.

While our pumps business was impacted by the extended monsoon, we have launched several new high-performance products in this segment. One of our focus areas in product development is solar pumps, where we foresee an uptick in demand from the farming industry in the next three years. The Government, under its scheme named KUSUM, plans to provide further impetus to solar pumps business with targets to install 27.5 lakh pumps over the next 5 years. During the year under review, we have also invested in the right skills, so that we can manufacture pumps with a wide range of voltage for urban and rural areas.

Our strategy of positioning the right products at the right points, delivering cost-effective innovation, remains our strength across all the segments.

Go-to-Market Excellence

Our strategy is focussed on creating an agile Go-to-Market (GTM) organisation that will deliver the right product at the right place according to the channel and customer segmentation. We are also building a huge digital sales data bank at the distributor and retail levels, and this data analytics is helping us drive sales and increase the productivity of the people. We are also focussing on strengthening our footprint in rural, e-commerce and alternative channels to reach the end consumers.

We worked to expand our reach further and we are now present in approximately 60% of the electrical goods stores in India during the year. This was achieved through the following initiatives:

1500+ new direct channel appointments.
Tally patch implementation to track secondary sales. 50% of the Company secondary sales can now be tracked through Tally patch.
A Field Assist mobile application that helps each salesperson create a week's plan on visits, calls, and orders.
The launch of the new Dealer Portal helps our channel partners monitor the status of the orders generated, schemes settlements, stocks etc.

New ways to identify potential sales opportunities include our tie-up with a major HVAC distributor. This relationship will give us early leads on where new constructions are coming up and, therefore, provide a headstart in pitching our lighting solutions.

We are targeting rural channels with towns with populations of 50,000 to 1 lakh through a focussed approach. It will comprise both a traditional channel and microfinance network to enable rural consumers with financing at their doorstep.

Through technology and disruptive thinking, we are identifying gaps in the market and devising strategies to capture market share. We are working on disruptive changes in the area of ease of doing business for channel partners in order to facilitate this.

Operational Excellence

We are constantly innovating but also streamlining our operations and identifying areas of potential cost savings, so that our bottom line remains tightly controlled, allowing for the most competitive price points in the market. Our strategy is based on a flexible approach to in-house manufacturing, investment in automation, and gathering digital data to cut through the clutter.

A significant operational development during the year was the Dealer Portal, a new platform being rolled out for order tracking. Two other major investments were in the Field Assist App for the sales – a productivity management tool for the frontline sales team that empowers them using data analytics, and the distributor management system – a secondary sales tracking system that accounts for around 50% of our business.

In the supply chain, we have been able to leverage the benefits of GST via consolidation of our warehouses. This has helped us significantly improve our stock availability metrics while giving us cash savings in the form of lower inventories. Leveraging our robust Sales and Operation Planning (S&OP) work process, our placement efficiency measure continued to improve across the last three years and stands at ~90%. Renewed work processes, improved standards and leveraging technology in partnership with new-age partners fuelled improvement in Secondary OTIF% (On-time In-full) as well as cost results. During the year, we focussed on multiple vendors who would cater to the markets for both water heaters and air coolers, helping us feed more demand in all seasons.

While we were affected by the slowdown in the macro-economic environment, we also have mitigating measures such as becoming more competitive, remaining the cost leader in the market, building a wider distribution base, and packing more value in each product.

The highlight of our cost control measures is Project Unnati, a programme that has brought us noteworthy benefits by making operational expenditure more efficient and identifying ways to lower expense and enhance quality from product design stage to the retail supply stage. Backward integration in fans was one such area; we now have in-house capacity for winding, power coating and work is underway for liquid painting. We have an on-going programme, named Project Delight, for quality improvement. This is a quality review at the top management level, and its elements are: identification of critical quality issues throughout the organisation; strategy formulation and roadmap for continual improvement; freezing of the quality dashboard; working on product line-wise gap areas; and tracking on a monthly basis by the top management. This builds the foundation for a quality culture across all product lines.

Our ability to rein in expenditure while keeping the products world-class gives us an advantage in a scenario where performance, reliability, and safety regulations have become stricter, with more stringent norms from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government of India.

Driving down costs for all four of our businesses and also controlling some indirect costs have freed up capital to be spent on brand advertising, thereby overcoming slowdown challenges to a degree.

Organisational Excellence

Our investments in research and development are matched by our investments in building the capabilities of people. We use cutting-edge technological tools to pick top talent, assess performance, and enhance engagement through a system of feedback. Alongside hiring in key senior positions, we train and develop internal human resource for future leadership and keep the talent pipeline always flowing.

During the year, the Innovation structure was strengthened with creation of a Central Innovation Organisation, headed by the Chief Technology Officer. Significant steps are being taken to leverage open source innovation, IoT, among others. The leadership team was further strengthened by the appointment of the Heads of Sales and Distribution and the Lighting Business. The capability-building journey in Crompton continues with various initiatives such as the deployment of widespread automation in customer facing areas, analytics and Design Thinking to expand our reach to customers in medium and small-sized Indian towns.

In addition, a company-wide Employee Engagement Survey was conducted, with an extraordinarily high response rate of 96%. The survey was based on the employee perception of the Company brand, line manager behaviour, performance management, rewards and recognition, and job content.

The overall engagement score was calculated at 63%. This survey has formed the basis of in-depth work in various areas.

Our staff receive career planning guidance and our succession planning remains updated. This ensures that the organisation is always ready with the right candidate to assume a new responsibility. Many critical positions were filled in from our internal talent pool as a result of these initiatives.

Our robust employee development programmes are aimed at building best-in-class capability in the areas of go-to-market; operational excellence and quality; brand and portfolio management; and innovation. During the nationwide lockdown following the COVID-19 outbreak, we continued our employee upskilling through virtual lessons under our newly launched digital initiative e-GuruCool, making them ready for future opportunities.

Management Discussion & Analysis

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have grown at sub 5% level in FY20, as per the forecasts shared by Ministry of Statistics. Domestic demand slowed more sharply than expected owing to low confidence and stress in non-banking financial companies and declining credit growth. The slowdown has affected key Indian sectors such as automobile, aviation, real estate and consumer goods. The recent global outbreak of the novel COVID-19 also severely impacted the Indian economic activity towards the end of FY20 and is certain to have a major impact in FY21.

Despite short-term challenges, long-term Indian economic growth outlook continues to be positive. Growth is expected to rebound owing to lagged effect of fiscal and monetary stimulus, subdued oil prices and improvement in health of Banks and NBFC sector. IMF estimates India's GDP to grow at 4.8% in CY20 and 1.9% in CY21 making it one of the very few large economies expected to register a positive GDP growth. However, the outlook for FY21 remains very uncertain due to the disruption caused by COVID-19 as till date there is a nationwide lockdown severely impacting economic activity.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

I. Electrical Consumer Durables Industry in India

The Electrical Consumer Durables (ECD) segment in India is poised for growth owing to rising income levels, increasing urbanisation and improved reach. Rural electrification programmes of Government will drive growth in rural sector. Demand for improved aesthetics and superior technology are driving growth in the premium segment of the industry.

A. Fans

The domestic fan market continues to grow in line with the economy with annual volumes estimated to be around 65 million units. This product category continues to grow owing to structural demand drivers such as extended summer spells and rising temperatures. Rural penetration is being driven by increased electrification, market penetration and better income levels. Growth in urban households is majorly driven by shorter replacement cycles owing to premiumisation, better ergonomics and energy-saving technologies. The mandatory new energy rating system, will increase demand for compliant products.

Key Growth Drivers:

1. Government Schemes:

Government schemes like Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) and Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna (DDUGJY) schemes are anticipated to positively influence the fans market.

2. Focus on Energy Efficiency:

Starting FY2020, new energy-efficient norms have been mandated by BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency). This would require upgradation of current portfolio to new norms by the existing market players. Also, increased awareness on energy savings are driving growth of energyefficient products in the urban households. Energy-compliant products are poised to see multi-fold growth going forward.

3. Performance of Housing Sector:

The residential property space has struggled with demand softness over the last few years. As the financing environment along with consumer confidence improves, demand in mid and affordable segments will bounce back. Along with overall revival in housing sector, Government initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and Smart City projects will collectively add up to 15 million new houses over the next 2-4 years. The Government has also announced an outlay of ` 25,000 crore for the completion of stalled housing projects. These initiatives augur well to drive growth in demand for fans.

B. Pumps

The water pump industry is estimated to be at ` 7,500 crore. Rising building construction and industrialisation activities, increasing agriculture activities and depleting groundwater levels will continue to drive demand for water pumps across India in the longer run.

Key Growth Drivers

1. Growing dependency on groundwater

Growing irregularity of the monsoon is catalysing groundwater dependency with a consequent higher demand for agricultural water pumps.

2. Government Initiatives

Increasing rural electrification along with Government programmes to improve water infrastructure and development of sanitation services across the country will continue to play the role of major growth drivers. Increased focus on energyefficient products will start contributing as a key growth driver in the near future.

3. Solar-powered Water Pumps

The solar energy sector is fast emerging as an attractive industry. Water pumping systems based on solar-based energy are gaining acceptance, backed by Government initiatives. Under Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM) scheme, the Government intends to install 27.5 lakh solar-based water pumps over a period of five years that will reduce dependency of farmers on the power grid.

C. Appliances

The consumer appliances industry is expected to grow rapidly owing to increasing purchasing power of the growing middle class and continued urbanisation in the country. A part of this growth will be contributed by the rural sector due to improved rural penetration, income levels and electrification. A favourable population composition in terms of increasing number of nuclear families and easier access through online channels will continue to aid growth in demand. Feature-rich products offering convenience and improved aesthetics will drive premiumisation in this segment.

a. Water Heaters:

The revival of the housing sector in terms of new constructions along with rising income levels will drive growth in Water Heaters industry. Improved brand awareness with respect to technological superiority and willingness to pay a premium owing to higher income levels are driving market share in favour of branded products.

b. Air Coolers:

The Indian air coolers industry is well positioned to grow on account of rising temperature levels and a growing middleclass. Feature-based products with better technology and performance are driving faster growth of branded products.

II. Lighting Industry in India

The Indian lighting industry continues to be competitive but exhibited a relative stabilisation of prices in second half of FY20 specifically in the consumer lighting space. Major growth drivers of the industry are rural electrification, infrastructure development, construction of new homes, and consumer trends towards better light. Government schemes such as Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti and UJALA (LED lighting) schemes are a major impetus to the industry's growth. Connected lighting solutions have found successful application in residential and commercial domains which has added further to the growth of the industry.

Opportunities

1. Government Schemes and Programmes: Government's infrastructure push by various initiatives augments well for longterm growth of our business. Government's renewed focus to push solar power in agriculture sector under Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM) scheme is positive and opens new opportunity in solar pumps business. Government's thrust on "Affordable Housing" and "Housing for All" augur well for the long-term growth of electricals consumer segment.
2. Electrification: Continued focus of Government to improve electrification in rural areas through initiatives like 'Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY)' are creating new markets for electrical products.
3. Increase in disposable Income: With long-term prospects being bright for India's GDP, rise in consumer's disposable income will lead to shift towards premiumisation/ value added products coupled with cultural shift towards nuclear families present bright prospects for ECD and Lighting business.
4. E-commerce Business: COVID-19 global pandemic is a defining event of FY2020 and it will have implications on across various sectors. It also reflects change in consumer buying behaviour. E-Commerce will be a vital channel and an economic driver for both domestic growth and international trade.
5. New Generation Technology: Introduction of new products through advancement

in technology will improve core customer experience. Rapid adoption of Smart and IoT-connected solutions shall be an enabler to drive business growth.

Threats

1. Economic Slowdown: The global economy is in a synchronised slowdown due to trade barriers, deterioration in manufacturing activity and global trade. Most of the nations are going through recession and collapse of their economic structure. As it has impacted the employment level around the globe, a shift to avoid discretionary spend behaviour can be observed.

Slowdown in the Indian economy due to current global developments and uncertainties could adversely impact growth in the short-term. Possible impact could also spill over to channel partners and back-end supply chain partners. Disruption in supply chain and change in consumer spend behaviour pose certain risk to business.

2. Pandemic: The outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 has disturbed the political, social, economic, religious and financial structures of the whole world. It is also observed that the economic recovery from this fatal disease is only possible by FY21 because it has left severe impacts on the global economy and the countries face multiple difficulties to bring it back in a stable condition.
3. Material and Currency Headwind: Significant increase in metal prices (Copper, Aluminium and Steel) and strengthening of Dollar could enhance the overall product cost and put pressure on margins.

Management Outlook

Your Company remains focussed on three key objectives – growing sales faster than the market, operating profit growth at least in line with sales growth and converting all of the profits to cash. It has a strong focus on launching innovative meaningful products, enhancing brand awareness through promotional activities and implementing strong go-to-market strategies. The global COVID-19 outbreak has imposed a recessionary sentiment across the globe and impacted your Company's performance in the last quarter. Challenges posed by epidemic are likely to impact the performance in 2020-21 though the long-term outlook for the industry remains structurally positive. Your Company has taken precautionary measures amidst the COVID-19 outbreak to safeguard its people and operations. It was amongst the first to enable work from home for all its offices, non-essential travel was stopped and all those who had to travel were required to only use safe modes of travel and avoid public transport. As operations and activities are being allowed to resume, your Company is ensuring strict compliance to Government guidelines on health and safety of its workforce. It has implemented a business continuity plan across all organisational departments to ensure smooth operations. To aid continuity in operations, it made a comprehensive plan to conserve cash by cutting all non-essential and avoidable costs.

Increasing urbanisation, the Government's efforts to revive infrastructure and housing development, rural electrification and rising disposable incomes along with better brand awareness will provide sufficient impetus to the industry's growth. Your Company continues to aspire to become one of the leading brands in Electronic Consumer Durables and Lighting.

FINANCIALS

The table below depicts the standalone financial performance of your Company for the year ended 31st March, 2020.

		(` crore)
Particulars	Year ended31st March,2020	Year ended31st March,2019
Revenue from operations	4,511.97	4,478.91
Total income	4,570.84	4,527.17

OVERVIEW OF COMPANY'S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Total revenue for the year remained flat as Sales in March 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 disruption and the subsequent lockdown from 23rd March, 2020. March is a crucial month for Sales as a significant amount of the trade channel stocks up in preparation of the summer season and this sudden lockdown led to a sharp curtailment of sales leaving the Company with lower sales, higher inventories and reduced collections. There was limited time for taking any action to reduce costs and as a result the profitability for March and the fourth quarter was impacted.

Tax expense was lower due to a reduction in the Tax rates announced last year and the effect of the tax refund granted for the year 2016-17.

Consequently, the Profit After Tax grew by 22.90%, much faster than the 4.76% growth in Profit before Tax.

Members may also note that the lockdown caused by COVID-19 has been extended till 17th May, 2020 though with some relaxations and this will impact the performance in the ensuing quarter and year.

20th November, 2019	53,438
26th November, 2019	96,563
16th March, 2020	56,900
Total	2,98,052

Accordingly, the total paid-up share capital of the Company as on the date of this Report is 1,25,45,67,944 divided into 62,72,83,972 equity shares of 2/- each.

The applicable disclosures as stipulated under SEBI (Share-Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 are provided in Annexure 1 to this Report.

DIVIDEND

Given the uncertain economic outlook, the Board considered it prudent not to recommend any Dividend for FY20.

In terms of Regulation 43A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("Listing Regulations"), the Company has adopted a Dividend Distribution Policy and is available on the Company's website at https://www.crompton.co.in/media/Dividend-Distribution-Policy.pdf and the same is attached as Annexure 2 to this report.

NON-CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Your Company has redeemed Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs), Series A amounting to ` 300 crore on 24th June, 2019.

Presently, NCDs aggregating 350 crore are listed on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. Out of these NCDs, Series B amounting to 170 crore are due for redemption on 24th June, 2020.

The disruption caused by COVID-19 has been severe. While the Company has sufficient cash reserves, these could be needed to augment working capital as the operations normalise. The Company has always met its working capital as well as capital expenditure requirements by and large through internal accruals. The current National Lockdown, especially during the peak summer season, has impacted our cash flow and consequently, the working capital cycle is likely to get lengthened. The Company has resumed production partially in all the plants, the other operations are set to resume progressively as and when the Government announces relaxations. We foresee demand revival from the second half of the financial year, and it is important to persist with investments to enhance our competitiveness and market leadership. Therefore, it is prudent to infuse additional funds through the issuance of NCDs to retain adequate liquidity to support business continuity and growth over the next 12 to 18 months.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking to raise ` 300 crore (Rupees Three Hundred crore) by issue of rated, secured, listed, redeemable non-convertible debentures on Private Placement basis.

CREATION OF DEBENTURE REDEMPTION RESERVE

Your Company has maintained Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) at ` 75 crore created in FY 18-19. The DRR maintained is adequate for the NCD redemptions due for redemption on 24th June, 2020.

To emphasise on the values of transparency, ethical behaviour, empowerment and accountability, the Company has formalised the 'Code of Conduct' for Directors and all employees of the Company. The Code lays down principles and standards that govern the actions of the employees during conduct of the Company's business. It covers all dealings with vendors, customers, and other business partners.

The Company has laid down a Vigil Mechanism for Employees, Directors and Vendors to report concerns on any unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or any violation of the Company's Code of Conduct.

The Company has implemented an IT tool that helps track statutory compliances as close as possible to the actual due date. Any deviations are highlighted for prompt corrective actions. Functional owners are responsible for taking preventive actions. This web-based compliance management system not only helps adhere to the regulatory requirements, but also develops a culture of self-regulation and accountability within the organisation.

- i) The Company launched an energy-efficient range of fans under the brand name Energion which works on ActivBLDCTM (inverter) technology and saves up to 50% on energy bills for the consumer. This range of fans works on the widest range of voltage (90V-300V), has the highest power factor of .98 and least total harmonic distortion value.
- ii) High efficacy industrial and outdoor products - The energy efficacy of these products has seen a reduction in energy usage by over 25% compared to other products offered.
- iii) These lamps and battens provide illumination sufficient to cater to basic requirement (with 30% level of dimness) in the case of power outage. These products use the latest Lithium Ion battery solutions.
3. Procedures in place for sustainable sourcing (including transportation) and percentage of inputs sourced sustainably.
- (i) Sustainability Roadmap

The Company has been continuously striving to enhance sustainability associated with its sourcing practices.

The sustainability roadmap of the Company includes strategy of one vendor per platform, common supplier basket for different product lines, sourcing from tightly knit clusters, optimising logistics to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and carbon footprint, re-working packaging to minimise wastage and re-use.

(ii) Supply Chain Partnering

Sustainability is extended to vendors through responsible procurement practices and selection criteria focussed on the protection of the environment, societal interest seeking resource efficiency, improving the quality of products and services. The Company is committed to improving awareness among Vendors, on legal compliances, enhance eco-efficiencies, employee health and safety through various initiatives.

Vendors and service providers are encouraged to adopt management practices detailed under the International Standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and other Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) guidelines. New vendor development process consists of stringent adherence check against EHS and statutory and legal norms laid under State Factory Acts. Existing vendors undergo periodic EHS assessments as a part of routine audits and are required to demonstrate sustenance for business continuity. Contract manufacturing agreements provide for compliance with accepted standards on issues related to EHS and labour practices.

(iii) Packaging Materials and Process

The Company has adopted recycling and reuse of metal bins for the handling of semi-finished components for selected categories, thereby eliminating wooden packaging. The Company is investing to secure cargo during despatches by improving loading procedures.

Initiatives like specification standardisation, value analysis and value engineering resulted in using lightweight and durable packaging materials. Optimising standards and material design and eliminating unnecessary packaging have resulted in effective management of packaging waste.

(iv) Distribution and Logistics

An efficient distribution network is an asset to any industry and is one of the key contributors to sustainability and profitability. The Company has strategically consolidated storage locations and introduced Warehouse Management System practices for finished goods across the country for quick and easy serving of customers, better transparency of stocks and lower carbon footprint.

The Company does not allow any vehicles which are not having valid documents, including PUC certificates inside the factory, nor use them for transportation purpose.

Import substitution across products and components in Lighting and Fans has been initiated.

The Company uses managed centralised print services, with the help of password authentication, which minimise usage of paper and ink.

4. Steps taken to procure goods and services from local and small producers, including communities and capability building initiatives, undertaken for local and small vendors.

The Company encourages the procurement of goods and services from local and small producers surrounding its plant locations. The contractors, engaged in the plants, mostly employ workmen from the nearby villages.

Vendor selection is determined by the following factors:

1. capability, quality, performance and on-time delivery;
1. compliance to legal, environment, health and safety guidelines;
1. readiness to participate in sustainable supply chain management programme; and
1. total cost.

The Company collaborates with its strategic vendors and partners in developing their product and technical skills. It also engages with them through various training and development initiatives at regular intervals, makes frequent visits to Vendors' factories and conducts impactful workshops to reward and recognise their contribution through scorecard assessments, etc.

The Company signifies and trains its vendors to meet the EHS requirements across all its plant locations.

This practice is not only greatly improving the Vendor efficiency but also considerably reducing the Company's carbon footprint.

In addition to this, the Company widely promotes vocational skills, development and training programmes to improve the livelihood of the neighbouring community.

5. Mechanism to recycle products and waste and the percentage of recycling of products and waste (separately as <5%, 5-10%, >10%)

The Company adopts comprehensive Environment Management Practices to focus on the conservation of natural resources across all its operating units. It has stringent waste management policies for internally generated wastes.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the 'Company'), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2020, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the Standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2020, and profit, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 45 to the standalone financial results which explains COVID-19 that has caused significant disruptions in the business operations of companies across India and has caused significant accounting and auditing challenges. One such challenge being inability for the Company to conduct a physical verification of inventories for the year-end 31st March, 2020 due to Government having imposed restrictions during the lockdown on account of health, travel and safety concerns.

The Company's management, however, conducted physical verification of inventories on dates other than the date of financial statements but prior to the date of the board meeting to be held for the purpose of adopting the financial results at certain locations (factories and warehouses) and has made available the documents in confirmation thereof. Inventories, being material to the financial statements/results of the Company, the Standard on Auditing (SA) 501, Audit Evidence - Specific Considerations for Selected items, cast a duty on us to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence and condition of inventories.

We have performed alternate audit procedures based on documents and other information made available to us, to audit the existence of inventories as per the Guidance provided by the Standard on Auditing (SA) 501, Audit Evidence - Specific Considerations for Selected items, and have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to issue our unmodified opinion on these standalone financial results.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Goodwill (refer notes 2 and 38 to the standalone financial statements)

On the demerger of the Consumer Business from Crompton Greaves Limited (CGL) (now CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited) and in terms of 'Scheme of Arrangement' the assets and liabilities of the Consumer

Business along with certain brand usage rights were transferred to Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (CGCEL). The excess of liabilities over net assets based on fair value and the share capital amounting to ` 779.41 crore, was recorded as Goodwill in the books of CGCEL. The Company has adopted the policy of amortising the goodwill in the books of account, on the outcome of impairment test if there is an indication of impairment as at the reporting date. Based on the valuation done by the management's consultant, the value of the goodwill is more than book value of goodwill as at 31st March, 2020, and hence, there is no indication of impairment.

We draw attention to note 45 to the standalone financial statements and our observations under paragraph Emphasis of Matter of our report. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows, determination of discount and terminal growth rates, which are the basis for computing the value of goodwill and the assessment of recoverability, these are the key judgement areas. In view of the above, the Company has carried out an impairment assessment of goodwill using the valuein-use model which is based on the net present value of the forecast earnings of the cash generating units. The computation involved using certain assumptions around discount rates, growth rates and cash flow forecasts. Accordingly, this is considered as the key audit matter.

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed the audit procedures in the circumstances as stated above, including:

a) Critically reviewing the Company's assumptions pertaining to externally derived data in relation to key inputs, such as, long-term growth rates and discount rates;
b) Assessed the appropriateness of the forecasted cash flows based on our understanding of the business and sector experience;
c) Recalculated the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount the cash flows and assessed those rates to be reasonable based on knowledge of the economic environment and the risk premium associated with respective industries and countries.
d) Compared the cash flow forecasts used in the impairment assessment prepared by management

consultant with the budgeted numbers to the extent available;

e) Evaluated the reasonableness of the forecasts made by the management by comparing past forecasts to historical results, where this was available, and by comparing to the current year results of the Company;
f) Subjected related key assumptions to sensitivity analysis;
g) Evaluated whether the Company's disclosures concerning the sensitivity of the impairment assessment to changes in key assumptions, reasonably reflected the risks inherent in the valuation of goodwill;
h) Skeptically reviewed management's assumptions, judgement and the appropriateness of the valuation model used;
i) Tested the mathematical accuracy of management's calculations.

Our audit procedures did not reveal material variations.

2. Ongoing tax matters, including provision for tax

The Company's unsettled tax positions includes matters under dispute which involves significant judgment to determine the possible outcome of these disputes. These provisions are estimated using a significant degree of management judgement in interpreting the various relevant rules, regulations and practices. Provision for tax is also based on the presumption of significant estimates and assumptions on the allowability / disallowablilty of claims at the assessment level. Hence, it is considered as a Key Audit Matter.

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed audit procedures, which including:

a) Obtained understanding of the key uncertain tax provisions and also obtained information of completed tax assessments and demands / refunds received by the Company during the financial year 2019-20;
b) Critically reviewed the processes and controls in place over tax assessments and demands / refunds through discussions with the management's internal experts / external consultants and

reviewed the communications with those charged with governance pertaining to this issue;

c) Involved our tax team to discuss with the appropriate management to critically evaluate the key assumptions in estimating the tax provisions and assessed the possible outcome of the assessment / demands of the disputed claims. Our tax team considered past precedence and other rulings in evaluating Company's position on these uncertain tax positions.
d) Assessed whether the Company's disclosures in Note 31 to the standalone financial statements - Contingent liabilities and commitments, adequately disclose the relevant facts and circumstances and potential liabilities of the Company.
e) Further, considered the effect of all the information in respect of uncertain tax positions as at 1st April, 2019 and provision for tax to evaluate whether any review was necessary to Company's position on these uncertainties.

Our audit procedures did not reveal any negative observations in the matter.

3. Estimates - Provision for warranty

Computation of provision for warranties and returns involves critical evaluation of historical data with respect to the nature of repair and returns, and estimation of costs in respect of future warranty claims and refunds. In view of the estimates being based on facts and circumstances that can change from period to period, this is considered to be a significant management judgement. Hence, a Key Audit Matter.

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed audit procedures in the circumstances as stated above, which includes:

a) Reviewed management's contract risk assessments by enquiries, inspection of minutes of meeting and review of correspondence with customers, where available. As we have the knowledge gained through field involvement and feedback on review of the operation, contract and project reviews, we also assessed the justification for and the accuracy of provisions;
b) Reviewed the recognition and appropriateness of provisions by re-computing the amounts,

obtaining management statements, evidence and supporting documents, such as, correspondence with clients or legal assessments of internal sources, where available;

c) Considered the historical accuracy of estimates made by management through reviews of actual facts. In order to gain a complete and clear understanding, additionally performed enquiry procedures and reviewed relevant documents.

Our audit procedures did not reveal any observations of any material differences.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, 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 in the 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 Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes 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;

Annual Report 2019-20 133

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, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

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 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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)

(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls 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 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 Company's ability 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; and
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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 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 financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance 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 standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report, where applicable and 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.

Annexure 'B' to the Independent Auditor's Report

(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the 'Company') as of 31st March, 2020 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 Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting 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 (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 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 (the 'Act').

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable, to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. 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 over financial reporting was 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 system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 standalone 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 Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 control over financial reporting 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting 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, read together with Note 45 to the standalone financial statements and our observations under paragraph Emphasis of Matter of our main report, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of 31st March, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

c) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value.

d) Current vs non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

e) The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

f) Fair Value Measurement:

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

• Level 1: Level 1 inputs include financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date;
• 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 estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and
• Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

2. Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in crore and have been rounded off to two decimal as per the requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

3. Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures along with contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcome that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information. The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

Assessment of functional currency [Refer Note (1.4)];
Financial instruments [Refer Note 41];
Estimates of useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets [Refer Note (1.5) and (1.6)];
Impairment of investments [Refer Note (1.12)]
Valuation of inventories [Refer Note (1.10)];
Measurement of recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units [Refer Note 38];
Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation, key actuarial assumptions [Refer Note 35];
Provisions and Contingencies [Refer Note (1.13) and 31];
Provision for product warranty [Refer Note (1.13)]
Recognition of revenue from contracts based on stage on completion [Refer Note (1.14)]; and
Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets [Refer Note (1.18)].
Estimates related to Share-based Payments [Refer Note 39].

4. Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

5. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

(a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on PPE (other than leasehold land) has been provided based on useful life of the assets as estimated by the management on Straight Line Method. The useful lives used are in agreement with those specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of following category of tangible assets where the useful life is considered differently based on technical evaluation.

Plant and equipment– maximum 21 years
Furniture and fixtures maximum 15 years

Premium paid on leasehold lands are amortised over the period of lease. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the management estimate of useful life, where the lease period is beyond the life of the building. In other cases, buildings constructed on leasehold land is amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a PPE are measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are accordingly recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

6. Intangible assets

(a) Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(c) Amortisation

Intangible assets comprise computer software purchased, which are not an integral part of the related hardware and technical know-how and are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 5 years, which in management's estimate represents the period during which the economic benefits will be derived from their use.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising as a result of business combination is not amortised and is tested for impairment every year.

(e) Research and development cost

(i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
ii. the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;
iii. the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
iv. the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;
v. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
vi. the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

7. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Impairment loss is charged to the Statement of profit and loss in the year in which the asset is identified as impaired. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised or relates to a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount in the previous periods. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Goodwill impairment

For testing of impairment of goodwill, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involve, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

8. Borrowings and loans

Borrowings and loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. It is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

9. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying 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 respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

10. Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, where considered necessary, as under:

(a)	Raw materials,components,stores and spareparts	:	At lower of costcomputed, onweighted averagebasis and netrealisable value
(b)	Work -in-progress– Manufacturing	:	At lower of costof materials, plusappropriate productionoverheads and netrealisable value

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

(c)	Finished goods –Manufacturing	:	At lower of costof materials plusappropriate productionoverheads and netrealisable value
(d)	Finished goods –Trading	:	At lower of costcomputed, onweighted averagebasis and netrealisable value

The cost of inventories has been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in the production are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

11. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, call deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

12. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

(a) Financial assets

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i. those measured at amortised cost, and

ii. those to be measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, 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. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) or Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) or Amortised Cost.

Debt instruments

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

• Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument (unhedged) that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.

• Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a 'pass-through' arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the

asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralised borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits and bank balances

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

b) Trade receivables - The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

(b) Financial liabilities

The Company's financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts, hedge accounting is not followed and such designated 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 through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time of issuance of guarantee. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

13. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows.

A contingent liability is disclosed when there is a possible but not probable obligation arising from past events, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

14. Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from goods and services:

The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of assets (goods or services) to a customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation and the progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/arrangements with the customers as the service is performed.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established.

(c) Interest income

For all interest bearing financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

(d) Other income

Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

15. Government grants and incentives

Government incentives, such as export benefits etc., are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

The Government incentives are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Company recognises as expenses. The related costs for which the incentives are intended to compensate or immediately if the costs have already been incurred.

16. Employee benefit plans

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company's contribution to defined contribution plans, namely State governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

Defined benefit schemes in the form of gratuity liability and post-retirement medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discounting rate used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximately to the terms of related obligations.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents that present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme of assets.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

(d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

(e) Share-based Payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of Share-based Payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share-based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as 'employee benefit expense' with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

17. Leases- Operating

Ind AS 116, Leases, requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

The Company as a lessee:

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (RoU) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. RoU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The RoU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The RoU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. RoU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related RoU asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Lease liability and RoU asset have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

18. Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority; and
ii) there is intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences (if any) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary difference or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, only if, they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

19. Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, by using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

20. Exceptional items

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

21. Segment accounting

(a) Segment accounting policies:

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. The Company identifies primary business segment based on the different risks and returns, the organisation structure and the internal reporting systems. Secondary segments are identified on the basis of geography in which sales have been effected. In addition, the following specific accounting policies have been followed for segment reporting:

i) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.
ii) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
iii) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
iv) Segment results include margins on intersegment and sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.
v) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

(b) Inter-segment transfer pricing:

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

22. Statement of cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of cash flows exclude items which are not available for general use as at the date of balance sheet.

38 DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD (IND AS) 36, IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Company's operating division (not at segment level), which is not higher than the Company's operating segments. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are as follows:

		` crore
Particulars	As at31st March, 2020	As at31st March, 2019
Electric Consumer Durables	590.10	590.10
Lighting Products	189.31	189.31
Total	779.41	779.41

The recoverable amount is based on a value-in-use calculation using the discounted cash flow method. The valuein-use calculation is made using pre-tax budgeted EBITDA projections of the next five years which is considered by the Board as a reasonable period.

The key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations are as follows:

a) Earnings (before interest and tax) margin: The margins have been estimated based on past experience after considering incremental revenue and savings from the efficiencies and cost saving initiatives driven by the Company.
b) Discount rate: Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a cash generating unit and is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital.
c) Long-term growth rate: The growth rates used are in line with the long-term average growth rates of the Company and are consistent with the internal / external sources of information.

The assumptions used are reviewed annually as part of management's budgeting and strategic planning cycles. These estimates may differ from actual results. The values assigned to each of the key assumptions reflect the Management's past experience as their assessment of future trends, and are consistent with external / internal sources of information.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Based on the above assumptions and analysis, no impairment was identified for any of the cash generating unit as at 31st March 2020 and 31st March, 2019 as the recoverable value of the cash generating unit exceeded the carrying value.

The Company has also performed sensitivity analysis calculations on the projections used and discount rate applied. The Company has concluded that, given the significant headroom that exists, and the results of the sensitivity analysis performed, there is no significant risk that reasonable changes in any key assumptions would cause the carrying value of goodwill to exceed its value in use.

B. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;
Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Financial instruments measured at fair value

D. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

Credit risk;
Liquidity risk; and
Market risk

Risk management framework

The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee (RMC) for identification, evaluation and mitigation of operations, strategic and external risks. RMC has the overall responsibility for monitoring and recovering the Risk Management Plan and associated practices of the Company.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The RMC oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

i. 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 investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company's interestbearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Company is as follows.

		` crore
Particulars	As at31st March, 2020	As at31st March, 2019

Current maturities of non-current borrowings	170.00	300.00
Total	349.72	649.26

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

ii. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers, investment in mutual funds and cash and cash equivalents.The Company makes provision on trade receivables based on Expected Credit loss (ECL) method based on provision matrix.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Trade receivables

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company has a detailed review mechanism of overdue trade receivables at various levels in the organisation to ensure proper attention and focus on realisation.

Summary of the Company's exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

	458.71	565.98

Expected credit loss assessment

Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

Particulars	` crore
Balance as at 1st April,2018	14.21
Impairment loss recognised/ (reversed)	11.92
Write-off of bad debts	(6.49)
Balance as at 31st March, 2019	19.64
Impairment loss recognised	27.96
Write-off of bad debts	(24.36)
Balance as at 31st March, 2020	23.24

Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits

The Company held cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with banks and financial institutions. The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an on-going basis and is considered to be good. Investment of surplus funds are made in bank deposits and other risk free securities.

Derivatives

The derivatives (forwards and options for foreign currency payments) are entered into with banks and financial institution counterparties with good credit ratings.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Investment in mutual funds

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non performance by these counter parties.

Other than trade receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but not impaired.

iii. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due at reasonable price. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation. The Company monitors cash flow requirements and aims at optimising its cash return on investments and to maintain the level of its cash and bank balance and other highly marketable mutual fund investments at an amount in excess of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The contractual cash flows are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments.

iv. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of investments. Thus, Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.

v. Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its receivable and payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts and options foreign exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.

Company do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

42 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Equity share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company's capital management. The Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management's judgement of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence. The management and the Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders. The Company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.

The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments. Total equity comprises all components of equity.

The Company's adjusted net debt-to-equity ratio at 31st March, 2020 was as follows:

		` crore
Particulars	As at31st March, 2020	As at31st March, 2019
Total borrowings (including current portion of long-term debts)	349.72	649.26

Total equity	1,467.80	1,098.48
Adjusted net debt to adjusted equity ratio	(0.16)	(0.02)

45 COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to businesses across India. The management has considered the possible effects, if any, that may impact the carrying amounts of inventories, receivables and intangibles (including goodwill). In making the assumptions and estimates relating to the uncertainties as at the balance sheet date in relation to the recoverable amounts, the management has considered subsequent events, internal and external information and evaluated economic conditions prevailing as at the date of approval of these financials results. The management expects no impairment to the carrying amounts of these assets. The management will continue to closely monitor any changes to future economic conditions and assess its impact on the operations.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the 'Holding Company'/'Company') and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the 'Group'), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2020, and the 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 notes to the Consolidated financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2020, and of consolidated profit, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in India in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 45 to the consolidated financial results which explains COVID-19 that has caused significant disruptions in the business operations of companies across India and has caused significant accounting and auditing challenges. One such challenge being inability for the Company to conduct a physical verification of inventories for the year-end 31st March, 2020 due to Government having imposed restrictions during the lockdown on account of health, travel and safety concerns.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Goodwill (refer notes 2 and 38 to the consolidated financial statements)

On the demerger of the Consumer Business from Crompton Greaves Limited (CGL) (now CG Power and

Industrial Solutions Limited) and in terms of 'Scheme of Arrangement' the assets and liabilities of the Consumer Business along with certain brand usage rights were transferred to Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (CGCEL). The excess of liabilities over net assets based on fair value and the share capital amounting to ` 779.41 crore, was recorded as Goodwill in the books of CGCEL. The Company has adopted the policy of amortising the goodwill in the books of account, on the outcome of impairment test if there is an indication of impairment as at the reporting date. Based on the valuation done by the management's consultant, the value of the goodwill is more than book value of goodwill as at 31st March, 2020, and hence, there is no indication of impairment.

We draw attention to note 45 to the consolidated financial statements and our observations under paragraph Emphasis of Matter of our report. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows, determination of discount and terminal growth rates, which are the basis for computing the value of goodwill and the assessment of recoverability, these are the key judgement areas. In view of the above, the Company has carried out an impairment assessment of goodwill using the valuein-use model which is based on the net present value of the forecast earnings of the cash generating units. The computation involved using certain assumptions around discount rates, growth rates and cash flow forecasts. Accordingly, this is considered as the key audit matter.

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed the audit procedures in the circumstances as stated above, including:

a) Critically reviewing the Company's assumptions pertaining to externally derived data in relation to key inputs, such as, long-term growth rates and discount rates;
b) Assessed the appropriateness of the forecasted cash flows based on our understanding of the business and sector experience;
c) Recalculated the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount the cash flows and assessed those rates to be reasonable based on knowledge of the economic environment and the risk premium associated with respective industries and countries.
d) Compared the cash flow forecasts used in the impairment assessment prepared by management consultant with the budgeted numbers to the extent available;
e) Evaluated the reasonableness of the forecasts made by the management by comparing past forecasts to historical results, where this was available, and by comparing to the current year results of the Company;
f) Subjected related key assumptions to sensitivity analysis;
g) Evaluated whether the Company's disclosures concerning the sensitivity of the impairment assessment to changes in key assumptions, reasonably reflected the risks inherent in the valuation of goodwill;
h) Skeptically reviewed management's assumptions, judgement and the appropriateness of the valuation model used;
- i) Tested the mathematical accuracy of management's calculations.

Our audit procedures did not reveal material variations.

2. Ongoing tax matters, including provision for tax

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed audit procedures, which including:

a) Obtained understanding of the key uncertain tax provisions and also obtained information of completed tax assessments and demands / refunds received by the Company during the financial year 2019-20;
b) Critically reviewed the processes and controls in place over tax assessments and demands / refunds

through discussions with the management's internal experts / external consultants and reviewed the communications with those charged with governance pertaining to this issue;

c) Involved our tax team to discuss with the appropriate management to critically evaluate the key assumptions in estimating the tax provisions and assessed the possible outcome of the assessment / demands of the disputed claims. Our tax team considered past precedence and other rulings in evaluating Company's position on these uncertain tax positions.

e) Further, considered the effect of all the information in respect of uncertain tax positions as at 1st April, 2019 and provision for tax to evaluate whether any review was necessary to Company's position on these uncertainties.

Our audit procedures did not reveal any negative observations in the matter.

3. Estimates - Provision for warranty

Principal Audit Procedures

We have performed audit procedures in the circumstances as stated above, which includes:

a) Reviewed management's contract risk assessments by enquiries, inspection of minutes of meeting and review of correspondence with customers, where available. As we have the knowledge gained through field involvement and feedback on review of the operation, contract and project reviews, we also assessed the justification for and the accuracy of provisions;

b) Reviewed the recognition and appropriateness of provisions by re-computing the amounts, obtaining management statements, evidence and supporting documents, such as, correspondence with clients or legal assessments of internal sources, where available;
c) Considered the historical accuracy of estimates made by management through reviews of actual facts. In order to gain a complete and clear understanding, additionally performed enquiry procedures and reviewed relevant documents.

Our audit procedures did not reveal any observations of any material differences.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, 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 in the 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 Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act, 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 changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the Company included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting

records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group 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 preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors 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 companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls 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 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 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 to cease to continue as a going concern; and
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company included in the consolidated financial statement 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.

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, where applicable and 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.

As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report that:

a) we have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;
b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of those books;

Annexure 'A' to the Independent Auditor's Report

(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (the 'Company') as of 31st March, 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (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 respective 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 (the 'Act').

Auditor's Responsibility

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting 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, read together with Note 45 to the consolidated financial statements and our observations under paragraph Emphasis of Matter of our main report, the Company has, the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of 31st March, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Mumbai, India.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group).

1. Significant Accounting policies

1) Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation
- a) The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (the 'Ind AS') notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.

b) Basis of presentation

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2020 were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on 15th May, 2020.

c) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:

1. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
1. Defined benefit plans plan assets measured at fair value.

These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies with those used by the parent Company. Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

When parent Company has sold materials to a supplier / vendor, who has processed further the said material and sold it to a 100% Subsidiary of the parent Company; the value of such transaction of purchase/sale has been eliminated in consolidated financial statements.

d) Current vs non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

f) Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity:

• Level 1: Level 1 inputs include financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date;
• 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 estimate. If all significant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and
• Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

4. Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates prevailing on reporting date are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

5. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

(a) Recognition and measurement

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of PPE are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of PPE comprises:

i) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.

ii) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its estimated residual value.

Plant and equipment– maximum 21 years
Furniture and fixtures maximum 15 years

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Depreciation on addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro-rata to the period of use. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ residual value is adjusted prospectively.

6. Intangible assets

(a) Recognition and measurement

Intangibles are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount of the asset. These are included in Statement of profit and loss within other gains/ (losses).

The estimated useful life and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

(b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(c) Amortisation

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill arising as a result of business combination is not amortised and is tested for impairment every year.

(e) Research and development cost

(i) Research cost

Revenue expenditure on research is charged to Statement of profit and loss under the respective heads of accounts in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii) Development cost

Development expenditure on new product is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i. the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
ii. the Company has intention to complete the development of intangible asset and use or sell it;
iii. the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

iv. the manner in which the probable future economic benefit will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;
v. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
vi. the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development reliably.

Development costs on the intangible assets, fulfilling the criteria are amortised over a period of five years, otherwise are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangibles under development.

7. Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill impairment

8. Borrowings and loans

9. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying 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 respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

10. Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, where considered necessary, as under:

(a)	Raw materials,components,stores andspare parts	:	At lower of costcomputed, on weightedaverage basis and netrealisable value
(b)	Work -inprogress– Manufacturing	:	At lower of costof materials, plusappropriate productionoverheads and netrealisable value
(c)	Finished goods– Manufacturing	:	At lower of cost ofmaterials plus appropriateproduction overheads andnet realisable value
(d)	Finished goods– Trading	:	At lower of costcomputed, on weightedaverage basis and netrealisable value

The cost of inventories has been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down, if the finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

11. Cash and cash equivalents

12. Financial instruments

(a) Financial assets

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i. those measured at amortised cost, and
ii. those to be measured at Fair Value either Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) or Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at Fair Value either Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) or Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) or amortised cost.

Debt instruments

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent measurement

• Amortised cost

• Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'passthrough' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a 'pass-through' arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised and the proceeds received are recognised as a collateralised borrowing.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for recognition and measurement of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. deposits and bank balances.
b) Trade receivables The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

(b) Financial liabilities

The Company's financial liabilities comprise of borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments, trade payable and other liabilities.

Classification

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In the case of loans and borrowings and payables, financial liability is recognised net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

Other financial liabilities

These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting of financial instruments

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. For these contracts hedge accounting is not followed and such designated 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 through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

The amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
The amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised.

13. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments

Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated amount of contracts remaining to be extracted on capital account and not provided for.

14. Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from Goods and Services

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/arrangements with the customers as the service is performed.

(b) Dividend income

Dividend is recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established.

(c) Interest income

(d) Other income

15. Government grants and incentives

16. Employee benefit plans

(a) Short-term employee benefits:

(b) Post-employment benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

The Company's contribution to defined contribution plans, namely state governed provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The contributions are classified as Defined Contribution Scheme as the company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans:

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from Investment plan amendments are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit and loss as past service cost.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan asset is reduced from the gross obligations under the defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

(c) Long-term employee benefits:

(d) Termination benefits:

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(e) Share-based Payments:

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of Share-based Payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled Share-based Payment, the fair value on the grant date of the award given to employees is recognised as 'employee benefit expense' with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated by an independent valuer basis Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

17. Leases- Operating

The Company as a lessee:

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (RoU) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

for the year ended 31st March, 2020

circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
