DYNAMATIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED


ANNUAL REPORT 2023-24

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Dynamatic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries, I take pleasure in presenting you with Audited Financial Statements for the year 2023-24.
During the year under review, your Company recorded Consolidated Net Revenue of 14,293 million with Consolidated EBITDA of1,594 million & Profit After Tax of `1,218 million.
Last year, we shared with you the progress of our transition to the new and larger facility, Dynamatic Aerotropolis, strategically located near Bangalore International Airport. This state-of-the-art facility, together with our wholly owned subsidiary, Dynamatic Manufacturing Limited, continues to be instrumental in driving our export production of aerospace products. These advancements underline our commitment to growth and excellence in the global aerospace industry.
Spanning 1.5 million square feet at Dynamatic Aerotropolis, with 240,000 square feet of built-up area, and an additional 60,000 square feet at Dynamatic Manufacturing Limited dedicated to detail parts manufacturing, we have significantly increased our capacity. This expansion equips us to efficiently handle orders for the assembly of large aerostructures as well as meet the growing global demand for highquality parts manufacturing.
- James Clear
The fiscal year 2023-2024 has been a period of strategic development for Dynamatic Technologies spanning our Hydraulics, Aerospace, and Metallurgy divisions.
Dynamatic 2.0: We continued investing in advanced manufacturing technologies to enhance production efficiency and quality in aerospace components. We also matured our SAP systems, focusing on the new
'S-curve', which is centralised, digitised, standardised, systemised, enhanced, and collaborative.
Aerospace Division:
Dynamatic has been supplying flight critical Flap-Track-Beam Assemblies to Airbus for the past 17 years, first as Tier-II and then as Tier-I. Today your company produces Flap-Track-Beam Assemblies on a global sole-source basis directly for the A330 aircraft and indirectly for the A320 Family aircraft, with superior quality and deliver performance making Dynamatic a center of excellence for this critical product for Airbus.

The Flap-Track-Beam Assemblies manufactured by Dynamatic for all Airbus aircraft are highlighted in red in the above image.



Airbus A220 Doors Program launched by Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Union Minister for Civil Aviation, General Vijay Kumar Singh (Retd), Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Shri Vumlunmang Vualnam, Secretary, Civil Aviation along with Rémi Maillard, President, Airbus India on 8th February 2024.
During the year under review, your company has signed a long-term contract with Airbus to manufacture and supply main passenger doors, service doors, cargo doors and over-wing emergency exit doors for A220 aircraft. Aircraft doors are critical structures, incorporating advanced technologies to meet stringent requirements for safety and overall efficiency.
Dynamatic Technologies has also signed a long-term contract with Dassault Aviation, a world-renowned aerospace manufacturer, for the manufacturing and assembly of flight-critical aero structures for the Falcon 6X.


Contract Signing: Dynamatic Technologies & Dassault Aviation on Falcon 6X Aerostructures and Primary Parts on 18th Jan 2024
As part of the Make in India initiative, Dynamatic Technologies will leverage its expertise in precision engineering and state-of-the-art facilities to manufacture and assemble critical aero structures for Dassault's flagship Falcon 6X aircraft under this agreement. This collaboration further strengthens the relationship between the two companies, while showcasing Dynamatic's position as a preferred supplier of aero structures in the aerospace industry.
Dynamatic Technologies entered a significant partnership with Deutsche Aircraft to manufacture the rear fuselage for the D328eco regional turboprop aircraft. This collaboration supports the "Make in India" initiative and positions us as a pivotal player in the global aviation supply chain.

Dynamatic Technologies strategic partnership with Deutsche Aircraft to manufacture Rear Fuselage for the D328ecoTM

Hydraulics Division:
Over the past year, we introduced new highperformance hydraulic pumps and systems aimed at enhancing efficiency and lowering operational costs for industrial applications. However, based on field feedback, we had to temporarily reduce production and implement some ongoing adjustments to the product. These changes affected sales and overall profitability. Despite these challenges, the product continues to provide significant value to our customer and remains a crucial component of our future strategy.

The Hydraulics segment faced a slowdown this year due to the aforementioned pause for product design modification and also due to poor monsoon conditions in India, impacting revenue and margins. However, business recovery started during the second half.
Metallurgy Division:
During the past two years your company's metallurgy division has been shrinking its exposure to the automotive sector and has been focusing on a strategic transition towards aerospace and defence. The corporate restructuring completed last year enabled Eisenwerk Erla GmbH, Germany, to minimize the impact of reduced demand on its profitability. Looking forward, the subsidiary's strategic location and technical expertise are positioning it to enter the aerospace and defence sectors.
Dynamatic's credit rating of 'IND A' from India Ratings & Research (Ind-Ra) reflects the company's financial health, operational efficiency and effective strategic management. With recently created facilities and a stable outlook, your company is optimised for future growth and internally generated investment opportunities.
Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for your continued support as we navigate through these challenging times. With our diversified business segments and strategic initiatives, I am confident that Dynamatic will prosper in the future.
I thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Udayant Malhoutra Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director

COMPANY PERFORMANCE:
Despite global supply chain disruption and increasing inflationary pressure on commodity prices due to prevailing geopolitical conditions, Dynamatic Technologies has reported strong business performance in FY2024. Consolidated net sales for FY2024 were Rs. 1,42,933 lakhs, increased by 8.6% as compared to Rs. 1,31,577 lakhs in FY2023. The top line growth was driven by better product mix and inventory management. Consolidated EBITDA for FY2024 was reported as Rs. 15,941 lakhs down by 12.10% as compared to Rs. 18,126 lakhs during FY2023. The operating margins impacted due to subdued performance of Hydraulics segment during the year owing to unfavorable monsoon conditions in India and a production pause in the UK to implement a major product design modification. EBITDA margin for the year under review was 11.20% compared to 13.80% in FY2023. Increase in costs of material, labour and other expenses caused for decrease in margin year on year.
SEGMENT PERFORMANCE:
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE: The Aerospace & Defence segment recorded a revenue of Rs. 51,009 lakhs compared to Rs. 43,737 lakhs in FY2023. Segment EBITDA for the year was Rs. 13,094 lakhs, reported alongside Rs. 11,682 lakhs in FY2023.
The aerospace segment reported a growth of 16.6% y-o-y in FY2024 driven by resilient performance of Aerospace industry, strong commercial order book, supply chain improvements and ramp-up of production at its new site on receipt of requisite customer qualifications. However, margins significantly got impacted during the first half of the year owing to the delay in getting customers' qualifications for the relocation of Indian facility from rented to own facility.
Nevertheless, the company has successfully contracted to manufacture all variants of Airbus A220 doors, as well as aerostructures for the Falcon 6X of Dassault. Additionally, in March 2024, your company proudly announced a new partnership with Deutsche Aircraft, the German OEM based in Munich, Germany. The collaboration focuses on producing the Rear Fuselage for the 40-seater D328eco regional turboprop aircraft. This marks a significant milestone for the "Make in India" initiative and will bring work to the highly capable ecosystem here. All these large contracts are expected to transform our aerospace business substantially over the next two to three years.
A strong order book and continued revenues from large Global OEMs like Airbus A330, Airbus A220, Dassault new work FAI and Deutsche Aircraft alongside focus on increasing business on detailed parts at Dynamatic Manufacturing Limited (DML) is expected to ramp up the revenues in the coming years.
HYDRAULICS: During the year, the Hydraulics segment experienced a slowdown due to unfavourable monsoon conditions in India and a production pause in the UK to implement a major product design modification. This affected both revenue and margins in the UK and India. However, it is evident now that revenues recovered in the second half of the year following the successful completion of the required design modifications. The projection for FY2025 looks strong as we have good monsoon projection along with an increased demand on Construction and Industrial Segments.
Revenues for this segment decreased to Rs. 44,834 lakhs compared to Rs. 46,166 lakhs in the same period last year. EBITDA for FY2024 was Rs. 3,771 lakhs and Rs. 8,748 lakhs during last year.
METALLURGY: The Metallurgy segment remained under pressure due to a demand shortage as the German automotive industry stayed weak. The completion of corporate business restructuring during the year helped Eisenwerk Erla GmbH, Germany, minimize the impact of lower demand on its profitability. However, the strong technical capabilities of this subsidiary are enabling it to transition into the aerospace and defence business going forward. There are some large defence campaigns at advanced stages, and we expect to conclude them shortly.
Metallurgy segment has shown an y-o-y growth of 13%, primarily as result of successful negotiations with customers owing to protective shield process undertaken by the company. However, revenue of the segment was impacted in the second half of the year due to inflation and lower demand in auto sector
Revenue for this segment was Rs. 47,081 lakhs compared to same period last year Rs. 41,661 lakhs. Segment EBITDA was Rs. 2,467 lakhs compared to Rs. 1,714 lakhs in FY2023.
Going forward, the segment performance will be majorly driven by availability of raw material, input commodity prices and cost of financing to end customers. Focus on high margin product mix, rationalization of low margin products alongside development of aerospace castings and forgings in the future is expected to drive the business growth in the coming quarters.
SALE OF WIND FARM LAND:
During the year under review, the Company completed the sale of windfarm land (357.867 acres), including buildings, located at Varapatti Village, Sulur Taluk, Coimbatore, to the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited (TIDCO) for the establishment of the Southern Defence Industrial Corridor. The Company received a compensation amount of INR 10,710.81 lakhs. It retained approximately 87 acres of land with greater strategic value for future development. Consequently, a gain from the sale of the windfarm land and buildings has been recognized during the current quarter and disclosed as an exceptional gain. The proceeds were primarily utilized for deleveraging by pre-paying long-term debt, leading to subsequent interest cost savings and improving credit metrics and potential rating upgrades. With this execution, the Company has demonstrated its commitment to being part of this significant initiative by the State Government of Tamil Nadu, which holds national importance.
STATE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFAIRS:
Over the years, Dynamatic Technologies has created its own brand image and has found its niche presence in the industry. Dynamatic Technologies supplies products to the world's renowned Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) such as Airbus, Boeing, Bell Helicopters, Deutsche Aircraft, Dassault Aviation, Daimler, BMW, Macdon, JCB, John Deere and Mahindra & Mahindra.
The Company is focused on expanding the size of business with existing customers and expanding its customer base with addition of new customers. With a strong business foundation, technological excellence and industry recognition for products, we are confident of creating utmost value for all our stakeholders.
During the year under review, your company was honoured to be recognized by Boeing Defence & Space as their outstanding supplier of the year 2023. This recognition further validates your company's unwavering commitment to supporting Boeing's safety, quality, sustainability, and delivery goals worldwide.
DML, your company's wholly owned subsidiary signed a contract with Airbus for the manufacturing of detailed parts for Airbus commercial aircraft. This partnership is a significant milestone for both companies, as it combines the expertise and resources of DML and Airbus Aerostructures. With this collaboration, both companies aim to enhance their capabilities, improve efficiency, and deliver exceptional products to the aerospace industry.
Further, your company successfully completed the first delivery of Airbus A220 Escape Hatch Door assembly to Airbus Atlantic and signed a long-term contract for manufacturing and assembly of Flight Critical Aerostructure for Falcon 6X with Dassault Aviation. In addition, your company received business award from Airbus to manufacture A220 Doors, which are critical structures, incorporating advanced technologies to meet the stringent requirements for safety and overall efficiency.

GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO
The world economy proved more resilient than expected in 2023, despite significant monetary tightening and lingering policy uncertainties globally. Economic expansion in the latter half of 2023 exceeded expectations in the United States and several major emerging markets, driven by higher-thananticipated government spending and retail consumption. Stability in employment and income levels was enhanced by an unexpected surge in labor force participation. Despite considerable central bank rate increases aimed at price stability, the economy showed resilience, supported by households in advanced economies utilizing savings accumulated during the pandemic.
The IMF reports global economic growth of 3.2% for 2023. Developed economies grew by 1.6%, while emerging and developing economies achieved a 4.3% growth rate, thereby averting a global recession. Inflation decreased gradually across most regions due to interest rate hikes.
Meanwhile, economic expansion remains modest by historical standards, constrained by high borrowing costs, reduced fiscal support, and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. These factors have led to limited productivity growth and increased geo-economic fragmentation. [Source: IMF Report (April 2024)]
OUTLOOK
According to International Monetary Fund (IMF), the growth outlook for emerging economies is projected at 4.2% in 2024 and in 2025. In contrast, advanced economies are anticipated to expand by 1.7% and 1.8% in 2024 and 2025, respectively. While the world economy averted the worst-case scenario of a recession in 2023, a prolonged period of low growth looms large. Growth prospects for many developing countries, especially vulnerable and low-income countries, remain weak, making a full recovery of pandemic losses even more elusive.
New price pressures triggered by geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing tensions in Ukraine and conflicts in Gaza and Israel, could elevate interest rate forecasts and depress asset values, particularly where labor markets remain constrained and core inflation persists. Variations in the pace of disinflation across major economies may also provoke currency fluctuations that strain financial sectors. Monetary policy continues to focus on adjusting inflation to meet targets, setting the stage for sustainable growth over the medium term. Growth disappointments could also result from the real estate industry's worsening problems in China or, globally, from a disruptive shift to tax increases and spending cuts.

INDIAN ECONOMY
Amidst a complex global economic environment and evolving geopolitical circumstances, India's economic resilience continues to be a source of optimism. As the world's fifthlargest economy, India is projected to retain its position as the fastest-growing major economy. During FY2023-24, India's GDP growth remained relatively high at 7.8%, fueled by strong domestic demand, moderate inflation, a stable interest rate regime, and sufficient foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, a strategic acceleration of economic reforms and increased capital expenditures facilitated construction activity and fostered significant employment opportunities within the country.
India effectively navigated inflationary pressures in FY2023- 24, which remain a significant challenge for many developed economies. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate exhibited a slight decline, reaching 5.69% (provisional) in December 2023 compared to 5.72% in December 2022. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) played a pivotal role by maintaining the policy repo rate at 6.50%, striving to achieve a balance between supporting economic growth and managing inflation. Additionally, India's per capita Net National Income (NNI) at constant (2011-12) prices had an increase of 6.08%, rising from Rs 98,374 in FY2022-23 to Rs 1,04,550 in FY2023- 24. This growth in disposable income has resulted in a surge in household consumption across both urban and rural areas, thereby stimulating demand across various sectors.
On the supply side, industrial activity, particularly within the manufacturing sector, maintained its momentum. The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing remained robust in February-March, achieving a 16-year high in March. The services sector also exhibited robust growth across all categories, with the PMI for services consistently exceeding 60 during the same period, indicating sustained and substantial expansion.
OUTLOOK
In 2024, India is well-positioned to retain its status as the world's fastest-growing major economy. Leveraging the advantages of its favorable demographic profile and advancements in both physical and digital infrastructure, India boasts a promising future outlook. Strategic increases in capital expenditures, coupled with proactive government policy initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes, are poised to generate further economic growth. The IMF projects a consistent expansion of the Indian economy at 6.8% in 2024. India's robust economic prospects establish a strong foundation for further acceleration in the years to come.

Overview
Risk management is a continuous process that is accomplished throughout the life cycle of a Company. It is an organized methodology for continuously identifying and measuring the unknowns; developing mitigation options; selecting, planning, and implementing appropriate risk mitigations; and tracking the implementation to ensure successful risk reduction. Effective risk management depends on risk management planning; early identification and analysis of risks; early implementation of corrective actions; continuous monitoring and reassessment; and communication, documentation, and coordination
The Company has a well-defined Risk Management Policy which has been developed after taking cognizance of the relevant statutory guidelines, Company internal guidelines, empirical evidences and stakeholder feedback. Dynamatic Technologies believes that Risk Management is the culture, processes and structures that are directed towards the effective management of potential opportunities and adverse effects within the Company environment. Our business plans articulate the key business objectives of the Company through a set of specific goals that have to be achieved in the short-term and strategic goals aimed at achieving our aspirations in the medium term. Several risks can impact the achievement of a business objective. Similarly, a single risk can impact the achievement of several business objectives. Our risk management practices seek to sustain and enhance the long-term competitive advantage of the Company. Our core values and ethics provide the platform for our risk management practices.

Dynamatic Technologies Limited Risk Management Framework
The Following framework shall be used for the implementation of the Risk Strategy

Key Business Objectives
We have a business planning process, and we quarterly review the business objectives of the Company. The corporate performance is measured, monitored and managed on an ongoing basis. The focus of risk management is to assess risks to the achievement of these business objectives and to deploy mitigation measures. This is done through periodic review meetings of the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Council.
Risk categories
The risk landscape in the current business environment is changing dynamically with the dimensions of Cyber security, Information Security & Business Continuity and Data Privacy figuring prominently in the risk charts of most organizations. To effectively mitigate these risks, we have deployed a risk management framework which helps proactively identify, prioritize and mitigate risks. The framework is based on principles laid out in the four globally recognized standards.

The following broad categories of risks to the business objectives have been considered in our risk management framework:
Strategic: An organization implements strategies in order to reach their goals. Each strategy has related risks that must be managed in order to meet these goals. Risks to the successful execution of the Company's articulated strategies. These originate from the choices we make on markets, business mix, resources and delivery models that can potentially impact our competitive advantage in the medium and long-term.
Operational: Risks inherent to business operations including those relating to quality, delivery, cost competition.
Compliance: Risks emanating out of the policies and procedures. This also includes Regulatory Compliances covering various federal, state, local and foreign laws relating to various aspects of the business operations which are complex and non-compliances can result in substantial fines, sanctions etc.
Governance: The current corporate governance models usually cater to the financial sector. Thus, current corporate governance principles haven't proved to be reliable during serious financial crisis, We feel that there is a need to place a heavier focus on identifying, monitoring and managing catastrophic risks, irrespective of the chance of such risks actually occurring. This also includes the reputational risk
Reporting: We encourage employees to report risk concerns to managers, who would communicate and coordinate information to be addressed by the appropriate parties.
Key Risk Management Practices
The key risk management practices include those relating to identifying key risks to our business objectives, impact assessment, risk analysis, risk evaluation, risk reporting and disclosures, risk mitigation and monitoring, and integration with strategy and business planning.
Risk identification and impact assessment: Risk register and internal audit findings also provide inputs for risk identification and assessment. Risk survey of executives across units, functions and subsidiaries is conducted on an annual basis to seek inputs on key risks. Operational risks are assessed primarily on three dimensions, namely, strength of underlying controls, compliance to policies and procedures and business process effectiveness.
Risk Evaluation: Risk evaluation is carried out to decide the significance of risks to the Company.
Risk Reporting and Disclosure: Risks to the achievement of key business objectives through the maintenance of Risk register are reported and discussed with the Risk Council and Committee.
Risk mitigation and monitoring: Risk mitigation is done based on risk score which is based on risk impact and risk probability. Risk are transferred, treated or tolerated based on Risk scores
Integration with strategy and business planning: Identified risks to the business objectives in the near term, medium- term and long-term are used as one of the key inputs for the development of strategy and annual business plan. Key strategic initiatives are identified to mitigate specific risks.

SEBI with an objective to improve the standards of Corporate Governance in India and in line with the needs of dynamic market mandates listed entities to bring in transparency, accountability and report the same in the Annual Report for the benefit of the stakeholders.
Corporate Governance involves the value systems of a Company including the moral, ethical, and legal value framework within which business decisions are taken.
Effective corporate governance practices constitute the strong foundation on which successful commercial enterprises are built to last. The Company's philosophy on corporate governance oversees business strategies and ensures fiscal accountability, ethical corporate behaviour and fairness to all stakeholders comprising regulators, employees, customers, vendors, investors, and the society at large.
The Company has a strong legacy of fair, transparent and ethical governance practices and operates within accepted standards of propriety, fair play, justice and aims at creating a culture of openness in relationships between itself and its stakeholders. It has set up a system which enables all its employees to voice their concerns openly and without any fear or inhibition.
The Corporate Governance practices followed by the Company are compatible with International Standards. Your Company has established systems to encourage, recognize employee participation and volunteering in environmental and social initiatives that contribute to Organizational Excellence, Sustainability, Human Resources Development, health of its employees and that of the neighbouring community etc. These actions have become an integral part of your Company's operating plans in discharging social responsibilities too.
The Company believes that a strong disclosure regime is a pivotal feature of market-based monitoring of corporate conduct and is central to the ability of shareholders to exercise their voting rights effectively and that Corporate Governance is vital in enhancing and retaining its stakeholders' trust. The guiding principles of Corporate Governance are becoming an integral part of the business. The Company's Board exercises its fiduciary responsibility in a broad sense in every facet of its operations.

- Upholding, sustaining and nurturing core values in all facets of its operations through growth and innovation.
- Maximizing national wealth and adhering to transparent actions in business
This philosophy has helped the Company to transform itself into a higher plane of leadership, better transparency and accountability.
The Company's commitments towards Corporate Governance started well before the law mandated such practice. The Company continuously reviews its Corporate Governance policies and practices with the clear goal of not merely complying with statutory requirements in letter and spirit but also to constantly endeavour to implement the best international practices of corporate governance in the overall interest of all stakeholders.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Members of Dynamatic Technologies Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements of the subsidiaries referred to in the Other Matters section below, 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ('Ind AS'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2024, and their consolidated profit, their consolidated total comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and their consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
- • The Parent's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report and Corporate Sustainability Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone 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 and will 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, compare with the financial statements of the subsidiaries audited by the other auditors, to the extent it relates to these entities and, in doing so, place reliance on the work of the other auditors and consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Other information so far as it relates to the subsidiaries is traced from their financial statements audited by the other auditors.
- • If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, 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 Parent'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 including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Board of Directors of the companies 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 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 Parent, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- • Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Parent 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 the management.
-
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
(a) We did not audit the financial statements of seven subsidiaries whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 95,146 lakhs as at March 31, 2024, total revenues of Rs. 86,233 lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 368 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, and our report in terms of subsection (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 1 (g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Dynamatic Technologies Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the "Parent") and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the parent and its subsidiary companies, which are incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Parent and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 Consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Parent and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India.
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 and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent 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 at March 31, 2024, based on the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting insofar as it relates to two subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based solely on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1 Reporting entity
Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company") together with its subsidiaries (including step subsidiaries) collectively referred to as ("the Group") is incorporated and domiciled in India. The Company was incorporated in 1973 as Dynamatic Hydraulics Limited under provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. In 1992, the name of the Company was changed to Dynamatic Technologies Limited. The Group is in the business of manufacturing automotive components, hydraulics components and aerospace components. The Company is listed in India with National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange.
1A Basis of preparation
i Statement of compliance
These Consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 ('the Act') and other relevant provisions of the Act.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
ii Functional and presentation currency
These Consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Group's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise mentioned.
iii Basis of Measurement
The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following:
- (a) Defined benefit and other long-term employee benefits where plan asset is measured at fair value less present value of defined benefit obligations.
- (b) Certain financial assets and liabilities that are qualified to be measured at fair value, and
- (c) Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
iv Use of estimates and management judgments
The preparation of Consolidated financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS, management requires to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding to the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Significant Judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the current year is included in the following notes:
(a) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note 3:
The useful life of the assets are determined in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life is different from that or is not prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance.
(b) Income taxes- Note 49:
In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
(c) Provisions and contingencies- Note 20, 26 and 38:
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the reporting date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may vary from the figure estimated at end of each reporting period.
(d) Post-retirement benefit plans- Note 43:
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions which include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at each financial year end on the government bonds.
(e) Impairment of financial assets- Note 5, 6, 10, 13, 14 and 44:
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(f) Leases- Note 40:
Ind AS 116 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 Group 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. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Group has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.
(g) Non-current assets held for sale- Note 52:
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the assets held for sale has been estimated using valuation techniques (including income and market approach), which include unobservable inputs. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as "Held for Sale" and its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Recoverable amounts of assets reclassified from "Held for Sale" have been estimated using the Management's assumptions which consist of significant unobservable inputs.
v Measurement of fair values
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Group require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the note 44 of financial instruments.
1B Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 50. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Parent acquires control until the date the control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on inter-company transactions between group companies are eliminated. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment losses from the Group perspective. Amounts reported in separate financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interest, if any. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
Non-controlling interest are presented in the statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the shareholders of the Group.
i Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control is accounted for at carrying value. Transaction costs that the Group incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill or capital reserve, as the case maybe. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of each reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
The Group applies the anticipated acquisition method where it has the right and the obligation to purchase any remaining non-controlling interest (socalled put/call arrangements). Under the anticipated acquisition method, the interests of the noncontrolling shareholder are derecognised when the Group's liability relating to the purchase of its shares is recognised. The recognition of the financial liability implies that the interests subject to the purchase are deemed to have been acquired already. Therefore, the corresponding interests are presented as already owned by the Group even though legally they are still non-controlling interest.
ii Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the excess is a negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in capital reserve. Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
2 Material accounting policies
i Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to working condition for its intended use and estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is provided on a Straight Line Method ('SLM') over estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value by the Management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged.
The Group's range of estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Category of assets | Useful life estimated by Management |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land | Over the period of lease tenure |
| Buildings | 30 years |
| Plant and machinery* | 10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
| Measuring instruments* |
10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
| Electrical installations* | 10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
| Data processing equipment |
4 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 -10 years |
| Tools, dies and moulds | 9 years |
| Vehicles* | 10 years |
| Motor boat* | 20 years |
| Assets taken on lease: | |
| - Leasehold improvements |
Period of lease tenure or useful life of assets whichever is lower |
* The Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which Management expects to use these assets based on an internal assessment and technical evaluation where necessary. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act ,2013.
The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in statement of profit and loss within other gains / losses.
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains / losses.
Advance paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date classified as capital advances under other non current assets and the cost of the assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work in progress.
ii Other Intangible assets
Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.
Internally generated intangible assets
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
An internally -generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
- the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
Freehold land is not depreciated
- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
- the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internallygenerated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internallygenerated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including on internally generated software is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as and when incurred.
Amortisation
The Group amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives of intangibles are as follows:
| Category of asset | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Application Software | 4 years |
| Prototype development | 10 years |
The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
iii Impairment
a) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU's expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
b) Financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.
c) Non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and Intangible 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
The carrying amount of the 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 amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
iv Leases
a) The Group as a lessee:
The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and plant and machinery. The Group 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 Group assesses whether:
- (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset,
- (ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and
- (iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes 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 recognized 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.
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 amortized 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 Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value assets and short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
b) The Group as a lessor:
Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
v Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost is used. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to sell. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis. Inventories are stated net of write down or allowances on account of obsolescence, damage or slow moving items.
The method of determination of cost is as follows:
-
- Raw materials and components on a weighted average basis
-
- Stores and spares on a weighted average basis
-
- Work-in-progress includes costs of conversion
-
- Finished goods includes costs of conversion
-
- Goods in transit at purchase cost
The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realizable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realizable value. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed periodically and is provided as considered necessary.
vi Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers and is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to in a contract with a customer and excludes trade discounts, volume rebates and amounts collected on behalf of government. For certain contracts that permits the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
Where the Group's contracts with customers include promise to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer, the Company assesses the goods/ services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation is made to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
The Group considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of' such goods, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc. to determine whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.
Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.
Service income including management fees is measured based on transaction price and is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established and on the performance of services.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Unearned revenue ("contract liability") is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenue.
vii Other income
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividend income is recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approves the dividend.
viii Financial instruments
a) Financial assets
1) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables and debt securities are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction cost that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
2) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial instrument is classified and measured at
- amortised cost
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt instruments;
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investments; or
- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not classified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flow and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment). This election is made on an investmentto-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mistake that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets, at FVTPL:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost:
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Debt investments at FVTOCI:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
3) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
4) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
- the Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial asset but assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Group has transferred an asset, the Group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the Group has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
b) Financial liability
1) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
2) Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified party fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized 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 recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments and Hedge Accounting
In the ordinary course of business, the Group uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. The instruments are confined principally to forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and collars. The instruments are employed as hedges of transactions included in the financial statements or for highly probable forecast transactions/ firm contractual commitments. Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The Group adopts hedge accounting for forward foreign exchange and interest rate contracts wherever possible. At inception of each hedge, there is a formal, documented designation of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes, inter alia, items such as identification of the hedged item and transaction and nature of the risk being hedged. At inception, each hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving an offset of changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at the inception and on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of designated hedges is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
The Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve, and is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecast transaction.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the statement of profit and loss for the period.
In cases where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as and when they arise.
ix Employee benefits
a) Defined benefit plans
The Group's gratuity plan is a defined benefit plan. The present value of gratuity obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuations carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of remeasurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The Group's gratuity scheme is administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India and the provision for the same is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary. Provision is made for the shortfall, if any, between the amounts required to be contributed to meet the accrued liability for gratuity as determined by actuarial valuation and the available corpus of the funds.
b) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short-term employee benefits, which include benefits like salaries, wages, shortterm compensated absences and performance incentives and are recognised as expenses in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid e.g. short term cash bonus, if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by the employee and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ('past service cost' or 'past service gain') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
c) Compensated absences
The employees of the Group are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carryforward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods. The Group records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit method as at the reporting date.
d) Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards employee Provident Fund to Government administered Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Group's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
e) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes cost of restructuring. If the benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of reporting date, then they are discounted.
x Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. 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 year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss and are generally recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognized in OCI:
- equity investments at fair value through OCI (FVOCI)
- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and
- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries including goodwill are translated into INR, the functional currency of the Group, at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into INR at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the statement of profit and loss. However, when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity.
xi Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except for the cases mentioned below:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction;
- temporary investments related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- taxable temporary difference arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 Group recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets, unrecognized or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realized.
The Group offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
xii Provisions (other than employee benefits)
a) General
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
b) Onerous contract
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
xiii Contingent liability
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
xiv Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent includes cash on hand, 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, and bank overdrafts.
xv Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before taxes for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.
xvi Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the owners of the Group for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during reporting period.
The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the reporting date, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that is dilutive and which either reduces earnings per share or increase loss per share are included.
xvii Segment reporting
Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments viz. Hydraulics, Aerospace, Automotive and metallurgy and Others.
xviiiWarranties
Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of sale of goods.
xix Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to revenue, it is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate. When the grant relates to an asset, it is treated as deferred income and recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
xx Discontinued operations and assets held for sale:
a) Discontinued operations:
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from those of the rest of the Group's business and which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and
- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations or
- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re- sale
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operations meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When a operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit and loss is re-presented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
b) Assets held for sale:
Non-current assets and disposal group are classified as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over net assets value of acquired subsidiaries on the date of such acquisition. Such goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently, if there are any indicators for impairment.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generating unit (CGU) or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. The chief operating decision maker reviews the goodwill for any impairment at the operating segment level, which is represented through groups of CGUs. The carrying amount of the CGU was computed by allocating the net assets to operating segments for the purpose of impairment testing.
The carrying value of goodwill, net of translation differences and impairment allocated to operating segment are as follows:
| Entity acquired | Allocated operating segment |

As at 31 March 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamatic Limited, UK | Hydraulics and Aerospace |
5,685 | 5,476 |
| JKM Erla Holdings GmbH, Germany (consolidated) | Metallurgy | 3,712 | 4,997 |
| Total Carrying value at the end of the year | 9,397 | 10,473 |
As at 31 March 2024, the estimated recoverable amount of the Metallurgy CGU was below its carrying amount. Accordingly, an impairment loss of Rs. 1,335 lakhs has been recognized (Refer Note 37) and the carrying value of the CGU post the aforesaid impairment is Rs. 3,712 lakhs.
The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the purpose of impairment test, recoverable amount of the CGUs has been determined based on value in use which is based on specific calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period and the range of each assumption mentioned below:
| Particulars | As at 31 March 2024 |
As at 31 March 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate* | 15% to 15.7% | 18.50% to 19% |
| Terminal growth rate ** | 1.5% to 2% | 2% |
*These discount rate(s) are based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company.
** The cash flow projections include specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate has been determined based on management's estimates of the long-term compound annual EBITDA growth rate, consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make.
The directors believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of the CGUs is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the related CGUs.

*The Parent's investments in its German operations are held in Eisenwerk Erla GmbH, Germany (EEG), an indirect step down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. EEG, is wholly owned by JKM Erla Holdings GmbH, Germany (JKM Erla), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of JKM Erla Automotive Limited, India (JEAL), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. EEG is currently undergoing a transformation from automotive and foundry businesses to the aerospace business. Considering the various challenges involved, viz., the supply chain crisis at OEMs, current inflation in Europe, and the steep and unpredictable increase in the cost of gas and electricity being faced by corporations across Europe, EEG undertook corporate restructuring measures through the "Protective Shield Process by Self-Administration" under the applicable German Laws, and in this regard, a financial resolution plan was filed before the local court at Chemnitz, which got approved by creditors in favour of EEG. Consequent to this, the local court at Chemnitz passed its final order and ended the protective shield through self-administration proceedings effective 1 August 2023, and related credit balances and net gains were adjusted. Of the same, an amount of Rs. 2,544 Lakhs has been recognized under other income and INR 1,763 lakhs under exceptional items.
Owing to the aforesaid intra-group restructuring measures, JKM Erla engaged in the business of setting up automotive component processing/manufacturing units was decided to be dismantled with the aim of streamlining the Group's holding structure for German operations, and accordingly an application has been made before appropriate authorities and is awaiting necessary order. In the interim, the 100% shareholdings held by JKM Erla in EEG was assigned to JEAL and this intra-group restructuring does not impact the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The restructuring carried out by EEG also envisaged refinancing of certain borrowings of EEG by way intragroup loans. To fund these intra-group loans, during the year, the Parent borrowed a term loan from a bank, the proceeds of which were permitted to be utilized in investment in overseas subsidiaries. As part of the annual impairment assessment of goodwill relating to the German operations, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of Rs. 1,335 Lakhs in the year ended 31 March 2024.

The section explains the judgment and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are:
- a) recognized and measured at fair value
- b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.

| Total financial liabilities | 1,05,327 | - | 500 | - | 500 |
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes investment in equity, preference securities, mutual funds and debentures that have quoted price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for investment in equity shares included in level 3.
Fair valuation method
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values.
A Financial Assets:
(i) Fair value of all these financial assets are measured at balance sheet date value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair value are assumed to be almost equal to the balance sheet date value.
B Financial Liabilities:
- (i) Borrowings: It includes loans taken from banks and financial institution, cash credit and bill discounting facilities. Borrowings are classified and subsequently measured in the financial statements at amortized cost. Considering that the interest rate on the loans is reset on a monthly / quarterly basis, the carrying amount of the loan would be a reasonable approximation of its fair value.
- (ii) Trade payables and other liabilities: Fair values of trade and other liabilities are measured at balance sheet value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair values are assumed to be almost equal to the balance sheet values.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments:
Derivative instruments used by the Company include forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps, options and interest rate caps and collars. These financial instruments are utilised to hedge future transactions and cash flows and are subject to hedge accounting under Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" wherever possible. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All transactions in derivative financial instruments are undertaken to manage risks arising from underlying business activities.
The following table sets out the exposure and the fair value of derivatives held by the Company as at the end of each reporting period:
| 31 March 2024 | ||||

iii) 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 Group'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 and long term debt. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
A) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currency of the Group companies. The functional currency of the Holding Company is primarily INR. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are USD, GBP, EURO and CAD etc.
Management monitors the movement in foreign currency and the Group's exposure in each of the foreign currency. Based on the analysis and study of movement in foreign currency, the Group decides to exchange its foreign currency

STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Members of Dynamatic Technologies Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 Responsibility 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 the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

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.

- • The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report and Corporate Sustainability Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
- • Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
- • In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
- • If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with 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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS specified 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; 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 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 and Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- • Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
- • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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.
- • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company") as at March 31, 2024 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 with reference to standalone financial statements based on the internal control with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements 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 with reference to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements
A company's internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

b Functional and presentation currency
These Standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been roundedoff to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise mentioned.
c Basis of Preparation
The Standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis of accounting, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been accounted as follows:
- (i) Defined benefit and other long-term employee benefits where plan asset is measured at fair value less present value of defined benefit obligations.
- (ii) Certain financial assets and liabilities that are qualified to be measured at fair value, and
- (iii) Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
d Use of estimates and management judgments
The preparation of Standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets on the date of the Standalone financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses for the year. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these standalone financial statements have been disclosed in the following notes:
(i) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note 3:
The useful life of the assets are determined in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life is different from that or is not prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance.
(ii) Income taxes- Note 51:
In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
(iii) Provisions and contingencies- Note 20, 25 and 37 :
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the reporting date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may therefore vary from the figure estimated at end of each reporting period.
(iv) Post-retirement benefit plans- Note 44 :
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions which include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at each financial year end on the government bonds.
(v) Impairment of financial assets- Note 4, 5, 6, 10, 13, 14 and 46:
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(vi) Leases- Note 40:
Ind AS 116 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. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.
(vii) Assets held for sale: (Refer Note 53):
Non-current assets and disposal group are classified as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.
e Measurement of fair values
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company requires use of valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of some of the company's financial assets and liabilities where active market quotes are not available. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date. The measurement of fair values, for both financial and non financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 45: financial instruments.
f Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to working condition for its intended use and estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is provided on a Straight Line Method ('SLM') over estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value as defined by the Management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged.
| Category of assets | Useful life estimated by Management |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land | Over the period of lease |
| Buildings | 30 years |
| Plant and machinery* | 10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
| Measuring instruments* |
10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
| Electrical installations* | 10 years, 13 years and 21 years for 3 shifts, 2 shifts and 1 shift respectively |
|---|---|
| Data processing equipment |
4 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 -10 years |
| Tools, dies and moulds | 9 years |
| Vehicles* | 10 years |
| Motor boat* | 20 years |
| Assets taken on lease: | |
| - Leasehold improvements |
Period of lease tenure or useful life of assets whichever is lower |
Freehold land is not depreciated.
* The Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets based on an internal assessment and technical evaluation where necessary. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act ,2013.
The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains / losses.
Advance paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date classified as capital advances under other non current assets and the cost of the assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work in progress.
g Intangible assets
Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have finite useful lives, are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.
Internally generated intangible assets
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.
An internally -generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
- the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
- the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internallygenerated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internallygenerated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including on internally generated software is recognized in profit and loss as and when incurred.
Amortisation
The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives of intangibles are as follows:
| Category of asset | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Application Software | 4 years |
| Prototype development | 10 years |
The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
h Impairment
(i) Financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
(ii) Non-financial assets
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment 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-inuse) 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
The carrying amount of the 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 amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
i Leases
(i) The Company as a lessee :
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and plant and machinery. 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 recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes 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 recognized 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.
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 amortized 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 of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(ii) The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
j Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost is used. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to sell. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis. Inventories are stated net of write down or allowances on account of obsolescence, damage or slow moving items.
The method of determination of cost is as follows:
- Raw materials and components on a weighted average basis
- Stores and spares on a weighted average basis
- Work-in-progress includes costs of conversion
- Finished goods includes costs of conversion
- Goods in transit at purchase cost
The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realizable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realizable value. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed periodically and is provided as considered necessary.
k Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers and is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in a contract with a customer and excludes trade discounts, volume rebates and amounts collected on behalf of government. For certain contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
Where the Company's contracts with customers include promise to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer, the Company assesses the goods/services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations is made to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of' such goods, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc. to determine whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.
Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.
Service income including management fees is measured based on transaction price and is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established and on the performance of services.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Unearned revenue ("contract liability") is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenue.
l Other income
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
m Investments in subsidiaries
Investment in equity shares in subsidiaries is carried at deemed cost less impairments if any in the financial statements.
n Financial Instruments
i) Financial assets
1) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables and debt securities are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or liability is initially measured at fair value plus transaction cost that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
2) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial instrument is classified and measured at
- amortised cost
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt instruments;
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investments; or
- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not classified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flow and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment). This election is made on an investment-to-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mistake that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets, at FVTPL:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost:
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVTOCI:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI:
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial asset but assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
ii) Financial liability
1) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
2) Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss .
Amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified party fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized 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 recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments and Hedge Accounting
In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. The instruments are confined principally to forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and collars. The instruments are employed as hedges of transactions included in the financial statements or for highly probable forecast transactions/ firm contractual commitments. Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The Company adopts hedge accounting for forward foreign exchange and interest rate contracts wherever possible. At inception of each hedge, there is a formal, documented designation of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes, inter alia, items such as identification of the hedged item and transaction and nature of the risk being hedged. At inception, each hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving an offset of changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at the inception and on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of designated hedges is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve, and is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecast transaction.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the statement of profit and loss for the period. In cases where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as and when they arise.
o Employee benefits
(i) Defined benefit plans
The Company's gratuity plan is a defined benefit plan. The present value of gratuity obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuations carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of remeasurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
through Life Insurance Corporation of India and the provision for the same is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary. Provision is made for the shortfall, if any, between the amounts required to be contributed to meet the accrued liability for gratuity as determined by actuarial valuation and the available corpus of the funds.
(ii) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short-term employee benefits, which include benefits like salaries, wages, shortterm compensated absences and performance incentives and are recognised as expenses in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid e.g. short term performance incentive, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by the employee and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ('past service cost' or 'past service gain') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iii) Compensated absences
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit method as at the reporting date. Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to the Standalone statement of profit and loss and Other comprehensive income.
(iv) Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee Provident Fund to Government administered Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
The Company's gratuity scheme is administered
(v) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognizes cost of restructuring. If the benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of reporting date, then they are discounted.
p Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. 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 year end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss and are recognized in profit and loss, except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognized in OCI:
- equity investments at fair value through OCI (FVOCI)
- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and
- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
q Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except for the cases mentioned below:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction;
- temporary investments related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the forcible future; and
- taxable temporary difference arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets, unrecognized or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realized.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
r Discontinued operations and assets held for sale:
(i) Discontinued operations:
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from those of the rest of the Company's business and which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and - is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations or - is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re- sale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operations meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When a operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit and loss is re-presented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
(ii) Assets held for sale:
Non-current assets and disposal group are classified as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.
s Provisions (other than employee benefits)
(i) General
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(ii) Onerous contract:
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
t Contingent Liability
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation arising from the past events that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
u Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent includes cash on hand, 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, and bank overdrafts.
v Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before taxes for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
w Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the owners of the Company for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during reporting period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the reporting date, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that is dilutive and which either reduces earnings per share or increase loss per share are included.
x Segment reporting
Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments viz. Hydraulics, Aerospace, Automotive and aluminium castings (Discontinued operations) and Others.
y Warranties
Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of sale of goods.
z Cash dividend to equity holders of the Company
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
aa Exceptional items
An item of income or expense which by its size, type, nature or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and the same is disclosed in the notes to accounts.

- (a) The Company has subscribed to the Dynamatic Manufacturing Limited's equity share on 25 March 2024 under Rights issue towards 3,50,00,000 equity shares at face value of INR 10 each.
- (b) The Company's investments in its German operations are held in Eisenwerk Erla GmbH, Germany (EEG), an indirect step down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. EEG, is wholly owned by JKM Erla Holdings GmbH, Germany (JKM Erla), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of JKM Erla Automotive Limited, India (JEAL), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
EEG, is currently undergoing a transformation from automotive and foundry businesses to the aerospace business. Considering the various challenges involved, viz., the supply chain crisis at OEMs, current inflation in Europe, and the steep and unpredictable increase in the cost of gas and electricity being faced by corporations across Europe, EEG undertook corporate restructuring measures through the "Protective Shield Process by Self-Administration" under the applicable German Laws, and in this regard, a financial resolution plan was filed before the local court at Chemnitz, which got approved by creditors in favour of EEG. Consequent to this, the local court at Chemnitz passed its final order and ended the protective shield through self-administration proceedings effective 1 August 2023.
Owing to the aforesaid intra-group corporate restructuring measures, JKM Erla, engaged in the business of setting up automotive component processing/manufacturing units was decided to be dismantled with the aim of streamlining the group's holding structure for German operations, and accordingly an application has been made before appropriate authorities and is awaiting necessary order. In the interim, the 100% shareholdings held by JKM Erla in EEG was assigned to JEAL.
The restructuring carried out by EEG also envisaged refinancing of certain borrowings of EEG by way intra-group loans. To fund these intra-group loans, during the year, the Company borrowed a term loan from a bank, the proceeds of which were permitted to be utilized in investment in overseas subsidiaries.
As part of the annual impairment assessment of the Company's investments in Germany, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of Rs. 671 Lakhs in the year ended 31 March 2024 in respect of its investment in JEAL.

Investment in equity shares of subsidiaries are not appearing as financial asset in the table above being investment in subsidiaries accounted under Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements which is scoped out under Ind AS 109.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1: It includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes investment in equity, preference securities, mutual funds and debentures that have quoted price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unquoted equity securities.
Fair Valuation Method
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
A Financial Assets:
Fair value of all the above financial assets except investments are measured at balance sheet date value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair value are assumed to be almost equal to the balance sheet date value.
B Financial Liabilities:
- (i) Borrowings: It includes loans taken from banks and financial institution, cash credit and bill discounting facilities. Borrowings are classified and subsequently measured in the financial statements at amortized cost. Considering that the interest rate on loans is reset on yearly basis, the carrying amount of the loan would be a reasonable approximation of its fair value.
- (ii) Trade payables and other financial liabilities: Fair values of trade payables and other financial liabilities are measured at balance sheet date value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair values are assumed almost equal to the balance sheet date values.
- (iii) Derivative financial instruments: Derivative instruments used by the Company include forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps, options and interest rate caps and collars. These financial instruments are utilised to hedge future transactions and cash flows and are subject to hedge accounting under Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" wherever possible. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All transactions in derivative financial instruments are undertaken to manage risks arising from underlying business activities.
The following table sets out the exposure and the fair value of derivatives held by the Company as at the end of each reporting period:

46 Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose to financial risks: 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. 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's Audit Committee 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 Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal auditor. Internal Audit function includes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
i) 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 and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The carrying amount of financial asset represent the maximum credit exposure.
Trade and other receivables
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Customers of the Company are spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum credit period and takes appropriate measures to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. Recurring credit evaluation of credit worthiness is performed based on the financial condition of respective customers.
Expected credit loss assessment for Trade Receivables as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 are as follows:
The Company establishes an allowance for credit loss that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables based on past and the recent collection trend. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is primarily from trade receivables as at 31 March 2024 amounting to INR 20,688 (31 March 2023: INR 16,263). The movement in allowance for credit loss in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was as follows:

|---|---|---|
| Balance as at beginning of the year | 277 | 157 |
| Amounts written off | - | (16) |

| Balance as at end of the year | 392 | 277 |
ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as the become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Management monitors rolling forecast of the Company's liquidity position and cash and bank balances on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out by the Management of the Company in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

DYNAMATIC HYDRAULICS®

DYNAMATIC LIMITED, UK
Dynamatic Hydraulics®, Swindon, UK, witnessed top line growth with revenue of £16.2 Mn which is a 6% growth YoY. This growth was driven largely by the revenues from new projects which continued to progress from initial volumes to full scale production.
The inflationary situation in Europe and UK have continued to present significant challenge to the business in terms of materials, utilities and labour cost. Whilst we have made changes to ensure cost optimisation and develop several risk mitigation strategies it has been a year of rising costs which are reflected in the overall performance.
Future Outlook
Looking forward, 2024 continues to have inflationary challenges but we have a strong order book. The company is doing its very best to off-set inflationary pressures by pivoting a larger percentage of its supply chain to India.
Additionally, the company is developing new products and exploring new markets (applications) which will further broad base our profile w.r.t. product, customer and geographical spread.
James Tucker Managing Director Dynamatic Limited, UK
DYNAMATIC-OLDLAND AEROSPACE ®
DYNAMATIC LIMITED, UK
Dynamatic-Oldland Aerospace® division in the UK continues to prosper with a good mix of business across a varied range of aircraft in commercial & military markets. This includes Airbus Flaptrack parts for A318, A319, A320, A321 & A330. Airbus - flaps, landing gear, wing structural items for A400M & A330. C130J Engine structural parts, plus the Dassault Falcon 6X programme which has just entered initial production phase.
This year we achieved sales of £21.5 Mn compared to £20.2 Mn in the prior year. During this financial year we have invested in new technology, enhanced the skill-set of our people through targeted training activities and recruited additional highly skilled staff.
Future Outlook
The outlook for Dynamatic-Oldland Aerospace® is extremely positive with well-established positions on several growing aircraft platforms. We are very well positioned to take advantage of growth in existing programme demand and of new opportunities. Material availability continues to be a challenge that we expect to continue in the foreseeable future as demand expands but supply is impacted by macro conditions such as the Ukraine War in Europe.
The focus of our business remains one of new technology development which emphasises delivery of customer satisfaction and this in turn enhances the unique partnerships we have built with our clients.
Our state-of-the-art robotic manufacturing cells and our robust internal processes enable us to continually deliver high standards of quality and embrace an 'industry 4.0' methodology within our machining factories.
We have demonstrated new standards of machining by manufacturing new structural prototype parts and we have several new opportunities being pursued which give us our consistent strategy of making regular investments to remain at the leading edge of technical advancements.
Dynamatic has a unique strategy of offering their customers a complete engineering solution end to end. The Group is offering an Indian / UK Aerospace business mix.
Already we have seen the benefits of collaboration and close alignment of the aerospace team, regardless of geography, will be at the Centre of furthering leading technical solutions to our customers and improving financial performance.

Our turnover at €52.4 Mn for the period April 2023 to March 2024 was higher by €2.6 Mn as compared to the previous financial year. First half of FY was driven by good demands, unfortunately second half of the business year the economic frame of condition was influenced by restrained customers. The ongoing Ukraine conflict is creating continually uncertainty, inflation is lower than year before but still noticeable. Energy supply in gas and electricity seems stable but costs are significantly higher for corporations across Europe, especially in Germany.
However, the German Government's protective policies and support for industry has helped the company to minimise the impact and at the end, the situation could be managed well. Improvement in revenue due to successful negotiations for price increase from all customers isn't visible enough because of industry independent slowdown in demands.
Eisenwerk is currently in the process of transformation from an automotive/foundry-focus to the aerospace business. Considering the various challenges viz.; supply chain crisis at OEMs; current inflation in Europe; steep and unpredictable increase in the cost of gas and electricity being faced by corporations across Europe, Eisenwerk could finish successfully corporate restructuring measures through 'Protective Shield process by self -administration' under the applicable German Laws.
Eisenwerk had submitted a financial resolution plan to the court, based on which a creditors· meeting was convened by the Chemnitz court on 28th June 2023, in which the aforesaid resolution plan was voted and approved by the creditors in favour of Eisenwerk based on which the local court at Chemnitz, vide its final decision/order dated 27th July 2023, ended the protective shield by self-administration proceedings with effect from 1st August 2023, by accepting the legally binding confirmation of the financial resolution plan submitted by Eisenwerk. With this all-creditor balances have been adjusted and proceedings closed.
*Numbers restated as per IND AS

Future Outlook
- Increase of productivity inside the foundry processes for saving costs and improving the quality level.
- Focus on high margin product mix, ramp-up of existing products, customer diversification and capacity utilization
- Expanding the machining capabilities to improve the margins and have a positive impact on the market position.
- Diversify into aerospace forging products in collaboration with our parent company Dynamatic Technologies Limited.
Notwithstanding the above, the economic environment should improve after a transformation process from the automotive sector into general industry and aerospace sector.
