Creating connections that matter
We believe meaningful employee experiences are built through moments of celebration, recognition, and being truly heard. In FY 2024-25, we continued to strengthen this foundation—fostering a culture where people feel connected to each other and to our shared purpose.
From Yoga Day and Environment Day to cultural celebrations like Dandiya, Dussehra, Christmas, and Women’s Day , our events brought people together, celebrated diversity, and reinforced community across teams. Beyond celebration, we amplified listening through townhalls, reward ceremonies , and real-time feedback channels.
Our Chief Listening Officer (CLO)
To strengthen our culture of open dialogue and continuous improvement, we introduced Amber as our Chief Listening Officer (CLO), an AI-powered platform that engages directly with employees to capture real-time feedback. With an engagement score of 80/100 and a mood score of 4/5, Amber has helped surface insights that translate honest conversations into meaningful action.

Partnerships were established with COEP Technological University, Pune, and the University of Warwick, UK. Next-gen learning programs in GEN AI, SDV, and Cybersecurity saw employees clocking over 64,000 hours, strengthening critical skills for organizational growth.
The Company remains committed to building a robust leadership pipeline through structured development programs. Under the flagship LeaderBridge Academy, LeaderBridge Prime for senior leaders was successfully completed by 40 participants, while the LeaderBridge FuEL program engaged 40 top talents at mid management, equipping them for future leadership roles. Advanced leadership programs from TMTC, including Blue Mint (for early career talent), Sustain X - Sustainability Leadership Series, TGELS-Tata Group Executive Leadership Seminar, and TGSLS – Tata Group Strategic Leadership Series, were deployed to enhance managerial capabilities. The signature LEAP manager development online learning journey saw 1,241 managers successfully complete the program, strengthening leadership effectiveness across the organization.
Workforce Planning played a significant role in identifying critical roles and successors, while competency assessments were conducted for senior leaders to identify the top 200 talent across the global organisation.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW STATUTORY REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This year our diversity ratio increased from 15% to 16%, reflecting steady progress in building a more inclusive workplace. We continue to make significant shift in our diversity efforts grounded in strategy, empathy, and sustained effort.
At our organization, diversity is not just a principle— it is a key focus area and a cornerstone of our culture. In 2024–25, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) journey was guided by four core pillars: Communication, Growth, Hiring, and Enabling, through which we launched impactful programs and campaigns.
The Company began the year with Fireside Chat sessions featuring our women employees—safe, open spaces for them to share their stories, challenges, and aspirations. These sessions helped our leadership gain deeper insight into the lived experiences of our workforce and enabled the development of stronger, more empathetic support systems.
The Company’s SHEros campaign was one of the most impactful DEI initiatives this year. Strengthening Allyship was the motto with which this campaign was launched. Objective was to encourage Managers to be the Allies. Managers across functions nominated high-performing women from their teams, sharing their journeys and acknowledging and highlighting the value they bring. With over 65+ such journeys being shared across a period of 2-3 months, SHEros helped amplify inspiring voices and fostered allyship across the organization.
In 2023–24, the Company introduced the LeaderBridge Wings program to support mid-career women professionals in enhancing their capabilities and preparing for leadership. Through structured upskilling and mentorship by senior leaders, several participants successfully transitioned into new roles in 2024–25, marking a proud milestone in our commitment to career growth.
REIGNITE Program was launched in 2023–24 with a strong platform of training and internship for women engineers on career break, thereby enabling them to restart their professional journey. The program helped TTL to build a steady pipeline of ready pool of engineers, upskilled in the latest technology, to be leveraged by TTL and industry at large. Last Year REIGNITE 1.0 was launched in the ER&D roles. 15 top-performing candidates from that cohort were successfully hired in various forms of engagements, which is a true testament to the program’s value and impact. The outcome of 1.0, encouraged us to come up with REIGNITE 2.0 in 2024–25, this time in Digital
Enterprise roles. Program launch was welcomed with stupendous response from all Professional online Platforms wherein it was posted. This structured three-stage program welcomed over 900+ applications, with 60+ women selected for the Explore stage (orientation and initial assessment). Following their performance, 34 candidates progressed to the Elevate stage, where they are undergoing intensive technical and behavioral training. Those who succeed will move to the Engage stage, a one-month internship with dedicated mentorship, leading to full-time opportunities with us or other organizations. REIGNITE continues to reaffirm our commitment to enabling second career opportunities for women on career breaks.
In another key step this year, the Company updated and enhanced the scope of Crèche benefit policy to expand support for working mothers.
This year, the Company placed special efforts to socialize and enhance awareness of RAINBOW-TTL’s DEI Program. Every month, employees are engaged on TTL’s Internal Communications Platform-Viva Engage, creating awareness by celebrating Diversity Themed Calendar Days observed across the globe through engaging and informative communication collaterals that are shared. Leveraging tools like email campaigns and VivaEngage, we ensured that messages reached every employee with meaningful content. These efforts not only celebrate our diverse identities but also educate and inspire our teams across locations.
The year 2024–25 has been one of momentum and measurable progress. Through programs like SHEros, LeaderBridge Wings and REIGNITE and through policy enhancements and active engagement, we have deepened our commitment to creating a workplace where equity is embedded, and diversity is embraced. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to expanding these efforts, nurturing inclusive leadership, and ensuring that every individual—regardless of background—can thrive and lead.

34. MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS ETHICS
In 2024–25, our organization deepened its commitment to business ethics as a critical pillar of our culture and governance. Ethics is not just a compliance measure, it is embedded in our dayto-day decisions, leadership accountability, and employee trust. This year, we introduced and enhanced several key initiatives to strengthen our ethics ecosystem, expand participation, and bring transparency to the forefront.
We launched Leadership in Business Ethics (“LBE”) Survey—a bi-annual, perception-based, independent survey aimed at understanding how ethics is experienced across all levels. It covered employees, associates and value chain partners (included for the first time). The survey assessed five critical dimensions: Leadership Engagement, Environment for Ethics, Awareness and Training, Ethics Counsellor’s Role and Systems and Processes. The LBE survey helped us identify key areas of improvement, particularly where awareness or systems needed strengthening. A comprehensive action plan was created and shared with ELT members, and implementation has already commenced. These improvements will enhance ethics training and communication, strengthen escalation and reporting mechanisms, equip ethics counsellors with more tools to act effectively.
Compared to our 2022 baseline, we observed a massive positive shift in scores across all segments, particularly among associates and value chain partners. The participation rate also increased significantly, showcasing growing trust and involvement in ethical governance across the ecosystem.
To foster transparency and instill confidence, we introduced a dashboard-driven reporting system for all ethics cases filed. These dashboards are shared with Ethics Committee members and help to highlight the nature of cases, actions taken, and resolution timelines serve as a clear message that no ethical violation is overlooked, regardless of role or location. This initiative has contributed to enhanced awareness, stronger accountability, and a visible commitment to ethical practices.
To enhance participation and awareness around ethics, we launched two major employee engagement initiatives this year: Ethics Quiz Competition - an Ethics Quiz conducted through our internal platform Viva Engage, receiving a tremendous number of nominations. The quiz not only tested awareness on ethics policies, Tata Code of Conduct (TCoC), and real-life scenarios, but also revealed a high level of understanding among employees about ethical
values and principles. The enthusiastic participation reaffirmed that ethics is truly being embedded into our day-to-day thinking and practices.
After the Quiz Competition, Tata Technologies Ethics Case Study Competition was launched which was in line with the Group Level Annual Competition held. The Competition saw 15 crossfunctional teams enrolling, each comprising 3 to 5 members, across departments and geographies. To support and prepare employees participating in the Ethics Case Study Competition at the group level, we organised a dedicated Ethics Boot Camp. This program provided teams access to a range of ethics learning resources, including case study videos from the Tata Group and recordings of winning entries from previous years. Senior leaders and subject matter experts from TTL mentored the teams, guiding through various perspectives on ethical dilemmas. Additionally, we created a group cohort on our internal communication platfrom, allowing participants to share ideas and collaborate effectively. To further enhance they readiness, we arranged trial sessions with members of our ELT, helping teams prepare for the final rounds at the Tata Group level.
In 2024–25, we expanded our Ethics Committee, inviting fresh nominations from the leadership team. This expansion has helped us increase global representation, infuse diverse perspectives into ethical governance and ensure balanced and inclusive decision-making.
A bigger committee brings more context, cultural understanding, and consistency in upholding ethical standards across business verticals and geographies.
Our journey in 2024–25 reinforces the belief that ethical culture drives sustainable performance. Through proactive surveys, transparent practices, global governance, and leadership accountability, we are creating a workplace where integrity is lived, not just expected.
As we move forward, we remain committed to being an organization where ethics is not an option, but the foundation of everything we do.
35. TATA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED SHARE BASED LONG TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME 2022 (TTL SLTI 2022)

-
iii. Confidentiality of Security Details: Folio Nos/DP ID/Client ID should not be disclosed to any unknown persons. Signed blank transfer deeds,
delivery instruction slips should not be given to any unknown persons.
-
iv. Update your address and bank details: To receive all communication and corporate actions promptly, please update your address, bank details, Email ID, etc., with the Company or Share Transfer Agent or DP, as the case may be.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Global headline inflation continued its downward trajectory, declining from 6.7% in CY 2023 to 5.8% in CY 2024. However, it varies widely across regions— while many advanced economies are making significant progress toward meeting their target inflation rates, some emerging markets continue to grapple with high inflation due to currency depreciation and lingering supply chain disruptions. As inflationary pressures eased, major central banks began to pivot away from tight monetary policies and initiate gradual interest rate cuts, potentially improving liquidity conditions and supporting a revival in private investment.
Economic review[1]
In CY 2024, the global economy proved resilient, achieving a growth rate of 3.3% despite challenges from geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions and shifts in monetary policy. The consistent pace amid numerous obstacles highlights the remarkable persistence of global economies. While advanced economies expanded at a modest 1.8%, emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) registered a growth of 4.3%.
EVOLVING GLOBAL TRADE LANDSCAPE
The global trade landscape is being reshaped by escalating tariff and reciprocal measures prompting a global economy strategic rethink across sectors, particularly in manufacturing. The immediate impact of these tariffs includes increased costs for businesses and consumers, increased uncertainty in cross-border transactions, and renewed disruptions in global supply chains. These developments are also amplifying market volatility and straining relationships between key trade partners. As a result, there is a growing shift toward supply chain reconfiguration and a recalibration of global economic interdependencies. This landscape is expected to significantly impact global supply chains, especially in the aerospace and automobile sectors. These industries depend on complex international networks to source raw materials and specialized components. As trade costs rise and uncertainty grows, companies are reassessing their operations. In aerospace, where companies depend on seamless import of high-grade metals and precision parts, the shifting trade environment will lead to increased production challenges and forced strategic shifts in sourcing. This uncertainty has prompted manufacturers to halt exports, revise production plans, and seek new supply chain configurations, compounding difficulties for sectors still stabilizing from recent global disruptions.
GDP growth projections (in %)
However, many organizations are responding by rethinking their sourcing strategies and speeding up digital supply chain transformation. Companies are also exploring more localized and diversified production setups. While these adjustments may mitigate some risks, economists continue to warn of broader economic slowdowns, with revised growth forecasts for major economies such as the US and China.

Regional overview & outlook
North America
The US economy grew by 2.8% in CY 2024, driven by strong consumer spending and a strong labor market. However, the introduction of new tariffs in early 2025 has introduced significant economic uncertainties. The tariffs could lead to higher inflation and reduced economic growth. While US monetary policy was expected to ease in CY2025, the Federal Reserve may proceed more cautiously with rate cuts, given the inflationary impact of tariffs and evolving trade-related risks and its impact on economic uncertainty.

Europe
The European economy is projected to experience a gradual recovery, with euro area GDP growth forecasted to accelerate to 0.8% in CY 2025 and 1.2% in CY 2026, following a modest 0.9% expansion in CY 2024. This recovery is expected to be supported by monetary policy easing, continued implementation of NextGenerationEU spending, and a gradual recovery in external demand.
However, the recent imposition of U.S. tariffs has introduced significant uncertainty. These measures are anticipated to dampen export growth and add inflationary pressures. In response, the European Central Bank has cut interest rates for the seventh time since June 2024, reducing the benchmark rate to 2.25% to support economic activity amid these trade tensions.[2]
Germany, Europe’s largest economy, continues to face structural challenges. The country’s manufacturing sector, particularly its automotive industry, is navigating through a complex transition towards electrification and digitalisation while contending with growing competition from Chinese manufacturers. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s economy is showing increased resilience, with growth projected to reach 1.1% in CY2025, reflecting stabilising domestic demand and the gradual normalisation of monetary policy.

Asia remained the global growth engine, with India benefiting from strong domestic demand, digital innovation and infrastructure development. China maintained a moderate recovery momentum supported by fiscal measures and resilient exports, with the central bank adopting a measured easing stance to sustain growth. Japan’s economy is experiencing a gradual recovery in private consumption, supported by strengthening wage growth. However, demographic challenges continue to constrain long-term growth potential.
The region however is negatively impacted by the recent imposition of U.S. tariffs. Export-driven economies in Southeast Asia are expressing concerns over the potential negative impacts on their economic outlooks.
Outlook
Despite ongoing challenges and economic turbulence, the outlook for CY25 and beyond remains cautiously optimistic. Global GDP is projected to grow at a steady 2.8% in CY 2025 and 3.0% CY 2026, supported by resilient consumer demand and strategic policy adjustments. Inflationary pressures are expected to ease further, with global headline inflation declining to 4.3% in CY 2025, allowing central banks to continue their transition towards more accommodative monetary policies.
Trade tensions are likely to remain a significant factor in the economic landscape, with the potential for further tariff adjustments as countries respond to US measures. For businesses, adaptability and strategic foresight will be essential. Regional trade partnerships and diversified supply chains are expected to become even more crucial and emerging markets are likely to play a prominent role, leveraging their expanding consumer base and manufacturing capabilities. With a foundation of strong, adaptable policies and a focus on innovation, the global economy is well-positioned to navigate challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
Indian economy[3]
The Indian economy maintained its momentum and emerged as one of the fastest-growing major economies amid a complex global landscape and achieved GDP growth of 6.5% in FY 2024-25. This resilience was primarily driven by robust macroeconomic fundamentals, strong domestic demand, and continued policy focus on structural reforms.

Inflation remained broadly within the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) target range, supported by proactive monetary policy, despite supply-side pressures and global commodity volatility. The RBI maintained a calibrated policy stance, managing inflation and supporting economic growth.
Headline inflation eased to 4.6%, primarily due to a moderation in food inflation. Monetary policy measures played a crucial role in maintaining liquidity and supporting economic activity. Foreign direct investment (FDI) remained strong, particularly in manufacturing and other key sectors.
The RBI reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.00% in its April 2025 monetary policy committee meeting, following an earlier cut to 6.25% in February 2025, alongside a CRR reduction to 4% in 2024. This marks back-to-back rate cuts as the RBI shifts to an accommodative stance in response to easing inflation and global uncertainties, including the impact of new US tariffs. These measures have injected additional liquidity into the financial system, eased borrowing costs and are expected to further support credit availability and economic growth.
This uptick in industrial activity reflects strong domestic demand and a more positive business outlook. The manufacturing sector, after experiencing some moderation

The preparation of the Company’s BRSR information requires the management to establish or interpret the criteria, make determinations about the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported information.
Measurement of certain amounts and BRSR Core metrics, some of which are estimates, is subject to substantial inherent measurement uncertainty, for example, GHG emissions, water footprint, energy footprint. Obtaining sufficient appropriate evidence to support our opinion does not reduce the uncertainty in the amounts and metrics.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of report of the other auditors on separate financial statements of such subsidiaries as were audited by the other auditors, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and its associate as at 31 March 2025, of its consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion

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.
Revenue recognition - Fixed price contracts where revenue is recognized using percentage of completion method See Note 22 to consolidated financial statements

This involves computation of actual cost incurred and estimation of total cost on each contract to measure progress towards completion (the input method).

there is an inherent risk and presumed fraud risk around the accuracy and existence of revenues recognized considering the customised and complex nature of these contracts and significant inputs of IT systems,

Other Information
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Holding Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor’s report thereon.
Management’s and Board of Directors’/Board of Trustees Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs,
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its associate in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies/ Board of Trustees of the Employee Stock Option Trust included in the group and the respective Management and Board of Directors of its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company/ Employee Stock Option Trust and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies/ Board of Trustees of Employee Stock Option Trust included in the group and the respective Management and Board of Directors of its associate are responsible for assessing the ability of each company/ Employee Stock Option Trust 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/ Board of Trustees either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies/ Board of Trustees of Employee Stock Option Trust included in the group and the respective Board of Directors of its associate are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company/ Employee Stock Option Trust.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.

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.

(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Tata Technologies Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) as of and for the year ended 31 March 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and such [company/companies] incorporated in India under the Act which [is/are] its associate [company/companies] and joint venture [company/companies], as of that date.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
In our opinion the Holding Company, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2025, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The Holding Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. 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 Holding Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to 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 controls with reference to financial statements include 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 Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Other Matter
The internal financial controls with reference to financial statement insofar as it relates to one associate company, which is a company incorporated in India, and included in these consolidated financial statements, have not been audited either by us or by other auditor. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, such unaudited associate company is not material to the Holding Company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

(iii) Current versus non-current classification
2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Group's operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the group has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
2.1 Basis of Preparation
(i) Statement of compliance
The Consolidated Financial statements of the group comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024; the related Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 and the Material Accounting Policies (together referred to as 'financial statements').
(iv) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
d) Income Taxes
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The major tax jurisdictions for the Group are India, United Kingdom and the United States of America. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
The Group uses the following critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions in preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
- a) Useful lives of Property, plant and equipment
e) Deferred Taxes
The Group reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting year. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the year in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards become deductible. The Group considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. 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 carryforward year are reduced.
b) Impairment of goodwill
- Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.
f) Expected credit losses on financial assets
c) Business combination
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s history, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting year.
In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required in identifying whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets (including useful life estimates) and liability acquired, and contingent consideration assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations.
g) Revenue Recognition and contract assets
The Group uses the percentage-ofcompletion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to estimate the efforts or costs

create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
- h) Defined benefit plans and compensated absences
2.2 Basis of consolidation
-
Subsidiaries (Also refer Note 39)
-
The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The financial statements comprise the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024.
The Company consolidates all entities which are controlled by it.
The Company establishes control when; it has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect the entity’s returns by using its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The results of subsidiaries acquired, or sold, during the year are consolidated from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
- i) Leases
The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Group uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All inter-company transactions, balances and income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that
Changes in the Company’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Company’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

into the functional currency at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a 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.
Investment in Associate
Associates are those entities over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. The results, assets and liabilities of an associate are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting as described below.
Equity method of accounting:
(iii) Foreign operations
An interest in associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date in which the investee becomes an associate and is recognized initially at cost. The financial statements include the Company’s share of profits or losses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date significant influence commences until the date significant influence ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments in the nature of net investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the Balance Sheet.
-
Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the respective months (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions).
When the Company transacts with an associate of the Company, unrealized profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in its an associate.
- All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and held in foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), a component of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized in FCTR is transferred to the statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
2.3 Foreign currency transaction and translation
- (i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
2.4 Revenue recognition
The Group earns revenue primarily from providing Engineering, Research and Development (ER&D) services, Digital Enterprise Solutions (DES) services, solutions for education business and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services and products.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are re-instated
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an

amount that reflects the consideration which the Group expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
Invoices are usually payable based on the credit terms agreed with customers which vary up to 150 days.
-
Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized and measured by units delivered and efforts expended.
-
Contract assets are recognized 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.
-
Revenue related to fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Group provides services is recognized based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight lined over the period of performance.
-
Unearned and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognized when there are billings in excess of revenues.
-
In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using percentageof-completion method (‘POC method’) of accounting with contract cost incurred determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
-
In accordance with Ind AS 37, the Group recognizes an onerous contract provision when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
-
Revenue from the sale of internally developed software and third-party is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is delivered to the customer. In cases where implementation and / or customization services rendered significantly modifies or customizes the software, these services and software are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of the product.
Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Group reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.
- Revenue from the sale of third party software is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition
-
The Group’s contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. The Group assesses the products / services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
-
The Group is also in business of solutions for education business and in business of supply of third-party software. In such cases, revenue for supply of such third-party products are recorded at gross or net basis depending on whether the Group is acting as the principal or as an agent of the customer. The Group recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration when it is acting as a principal and at net amount of consideration when it is acting as an agent.
-
Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, commission, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, commission, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with

impairment, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.
of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting year. The Group allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure 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.
-
The Group uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
-
The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when discarded / scrapped. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit and loss in the reporting period in which they occur.
Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
-
The Group exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. 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 product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
-
As 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.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
-
Contract fulfilment costs are generally expensed as incurred except where they meet the criteria for capitalization. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
-
(ii) Depreciation:
The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method considering the nature, estimated usage, operating conditions, past history of replacement and anticipated technological changes. Taking into account these factors, the group has decided to retain the useful life hitherto adopted for various

condition for recognition are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.
categories of property, plant and equipment, which are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Act.
Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost of acquisition, after reassessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is recognised as capital reserve.
The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Type of Asset | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Lease hold | Lower of Lease period or |
| improvements | estimated useful life |
| Buildings | 5 to 25 years |
| Plant and | 1 to 21 years |
| machinery | |
| Computer | 1 to 4 years |
| equipments | |
| Vehicles | 3 years |
| Furniture & fixtures | 1 to 21 years |
| Software | 1 to 4years |
The interest of non-controlling shareholders (if any) is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisitionby-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end with the effect of any changes in the estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Goodwill represents the cost of acquired business as established at the date of acquisition of the business in excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount.
2.6 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.
Business combinations between entities under common control is accounted for at carrying value.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
Internally generated intangible asset arising from development activity is recognized at cost on demonstration of its technical feasibility, the intention and ability of the Company to complete, use or sell it, only if, it is probable that the asset would generate future economic benefit and the expenditure attributable to the said assets during its development can be measured reliably.
2.8 Research and development cost
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
Software not exceeding H 25,000 is charged off to

the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks (half year or less from the date of acquisition), net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company’s cash management system. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current liabilities.
2.9 Financial instruments
a) Financial assets:
(i) Classification
The group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either though other comprehensive income, or through profit and loss), and
Financial assets carried at amortised cost:
those measured at amortised cost.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where the group has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
- (ii) Initial recognition:
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
(iii) Measurement:
Subsequent to initial recognition, nonderivative financial instruments are measured as described below:
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents:
- (iv) Impairment of financial assets:
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks (half year or less from the date of acquisition). For

value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. In determining the allowances for doubtful trade receivables, the Group has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at amortised cost:
Borrowings, trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
(v) Derecognition of financial assets:
The group derecognizes a financial asset when
(iii) Derecognition
-
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
-
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
-
retains contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
When the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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 recognised to extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(iv) Derivative financial instruments
The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in foreign operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency.
The Group limits the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management policies including the use of derivatives. The Group enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank.
b) Financial liabilities
- (i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair

asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the income statement.
As at March 31, 2025, none of the group’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and right to use assets were considered impaired.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets / liabilities in this category are presented as current assets / current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
2.11 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable than an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which the reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are determined at present value based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract.
2.10 Impairment-Non Financial assets
Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right to use assets
At each balance sheet date, the group assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with finite lives and right to use assets may be impaired. If any such impairment exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use, are tested for impairment annually at each balance sheet date, or earlier, if there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
2.12 Earnings per equity share:
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares during

the year adjusted for treasury shares held and dilutive potential shares, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
2.13 Taxation
Income tax comprises current and deferred taxes. Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except when they relate to items that are recognized outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case tax is also recognized outside profit or loss, or where they arise from the initial accounting for business combination.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
- (i) Current income tax:
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the year. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.
The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
- (ii) Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
- (iii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
The Company evaluates Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) provisions across jurisdictions on an annual basis. While the MAT provisions under the Income Tax Act 1961 are not applicable during the current financial year, the Company falls outside the ambit of CAMT provisions under US tax regulations.
2.14 Employee benefits:
- (i) Post-employment benefit plans:
The Company participates in various employee benefit plans. Pensions and other postemployment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the employee. The
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences

expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense during the year when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
With effect from April 1, 2003, this plan was amended and benefits earned by covered employees have been protected as at March 31, 2003. Employees covered by this plan are prospectively entitled to benefits computed on a basis that ensures that the annual cost of providing the pension benefits would not exceed 15% of salary.
The Company has the following employee benefit plans:
a. Provident fund
In accordance with Indian law, Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both, the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee’s salary. The Company has no further obligations under this scheme beyond its periodic contributions.
Separate irrevocable trusts are maintained for employees covered and entitled to benefits. The Company contribute up to 15% of the eligible employees’ basic salary to the trust every year. Such contributions are recognized as an expense when incurred. The Company has no further obligation beyond this contribution.
c. Gratuity
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 to 30 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company makes annual contributions to gratuity funds established as trusts. The Company account for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an estimated basis for the year end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method as on the Balance Sheet date.
b. Superannuation
The Company has two superannuation plans, a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. An eligible employee on April 1, 1996 could elect to be a member of either plan.
Employees who are members of the defined benefit superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service and salary drawn. The monthly pension benefits after retirement range from 0.75% to 2% of the annual basic salary for each year of service. The Company account for superannuation benefits payable in future under the plan based on an estimated basis for the year end and on an independent actuarial valuation as on the Balance Sheet date.

d. Bhavishya Kalyan Yojana (BKY)
Bhavishya Kalyan Yojana is an unfunded defined benefit plan for employees of the Company. The benefits of the plan include pension in certain cases, payable up to the date of normal superannuation had the employee been in service, to an eligible employee at the time of death or permanent disablement, while in service, either as a result of an injury or as certified by the appropriate authority. The monthly payment to dependents of the deceased / disabled employee under the plan equals 50% of the basic salary drawn at the time of death or accident or a specified amount, whichever is greater. The Company account for the liability for BKY benefits payable in the future based on an estimated basis for the year end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method as on the Balance Sheet date.
The Parent Company has replaced its employee benefit scheme BKY with Group Term Life Insurance (GTL) policy with effect from November 2019. Accordingly, with effect from December 2019, the Company has continued to carry obligation under this scheme based on actuarial valuation for those beneficiaries having claims under this scheme before the date of discontinuation.

retirement. Employees separated from the Company as part of an Early Separation Scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent disablement are also covered under the scheme. The Company account for the liability for post-retirement medical scheme based on an estimated basis for the year end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method at the year end.
- (ii) Compensated absences
The Company provides for the encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment. The liability is provided based on number of days of unutilized leave at each balance sheet date based on an estimated basis for the year end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method at the year end.
Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur. Re-measurements recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss in the year of plan amendment.
2.15 Share based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to the employees via the Share based long term incentive scheme 2022 (“SLTI 2022”).
Equity-settled transactions
Costs comprising service cost (including current and past service cost and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) and net interest expense or income is recognized in profit or loss.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share options outstanding account in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equitysettled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense for a year represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that year and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
The obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting year, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in
During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Parent Company has curtailed its Postretirement Medicare scheme, which is an unfunded defined benefit plan to exclude all employees who will retire after December 31, 2020. Accordingly, with effect from January

the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Group as a lessee The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/ or service conditions are satisfied.
Group as a lessee
The Group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straightline method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Cash-settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.
2.16 Dividends
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 as per Ind AS 10.
2.17 Government Grants and Incentives
Government Grant and Incentives are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the relevant conditions and the incentive will be received. Incentives are recorded at fair value where applicable. Incentives are recognised in the statement of profit and loss, either on a systematic basis when the company recognises, as expenses, the related costs that the incentives are intended to compensate or, immediately if the costs have already been incurred. Incentives related to income are presented as an offset against the related expenditure, and government grants that are awarded as incentives with no ongoing performance obligations to the Group are recognised as income in the period in which the grant is received.
The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Group, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase

Sub lease
option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
At the inception of the sub lease contract, the Group classifies the sub lease as a finance lease or an operating lease based on criteria in Ind AS 116 Lease.
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.
The sub lease which is classified as an operating lease, the lease liability and right to use of the head lease is not derecognised. The lease income which would be received from the sub lease over the lease term is recognised as other income in the Statement of Profit or Loss Account.
The sub lease which is classified as a finance lease, the lease liability of the head lease is not derecognised, instead the right to use asset of the head lease is derecognised and net investment in sub lease is recognised. The interest income received on the net investment in sub lease is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss Account over the lease term.
2.19 Cost recognition
The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and have been classified according to their nature.
2.20 Exceptional items
The Group considers exceptional items to be those which derive from events or transactions which are significant for separate disclosure by virtue of their size or incidence in order for the user to obtain a proper understanding of the Group’s financial performance. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition costs, impairment charges, restructuring costs and profits and losses on disposal of subsidiaries, contingent consideration and other one-off items which meet this definition. To provide a better understanding of the underlying results of the year, exceptional items are reported separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Group as a lessor
At the inception of the lease the Group classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight- line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Group is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
2.21 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS – 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its consolidated financial statements.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate the consideration in the contract.

Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill has been allocated to the service segment of the Group as Cash Generating Units ("CGUs").
The movement in goodwill during the year is on account of foreign exchange fluctuation.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was determined based on value in use. Value in use was determined based on future cash flows, which requires use of assumptions such as growth in the sales, gross margin and operating income margin.
The assumptions are build basis the group’s past experience, the existing economic conditions and trends, estimated future growth rates and anticipated future economic conditions. None of the key assumptions are sensitive to any of the CGU’s recoverable amount.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW STATUTORY REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The calculations use financial budgets approved by the management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using estimated long-term growth rate of 5% as at March 31, 2025 (5% as at March 31, 2024). These growth rates are consistent with forecasts included in the industry reports. The discount rate considered is 12.20% as at March 31, 2025 (16.22% as at March 31, 2024).
An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation to a change in key assumptions (operating margin, discount rates and long-term average growth rate), based on any reasonable change, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount.

Note:
In the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Government of India added a new section 115BAA (the "New Tax Regime") on September 20, 2019 through the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act 2019. This section gave domestic companies the option to pay income taxes at the lower rate (25.17%, inclusive of surcharge and cess) subject to the rules/ conditions outlined in the said section. The company evaluated the underlying assumptions in lights of the business reality and made the decision to choose the new tax regime, which took effect in the last quarter of FY 2023-24. The effect of this change had been recognised in tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2024 on effective tax basis. This had resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense of H 12.22 crore for the year ended March 31, 2024 on account of remeasurement of deferred tax assets.

Note:
In the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Government of India added a new section 115BAA (the "New Tax Regime") on September 20, 2019 through the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act 2019. This section gave domestic companies the option to pay income taxes at the lower rate (25.17%, inclusive of surcharge and cess) subject to the rules/ conditions outlined in the said section. The company evaluated the underlying assumptions in lights of the business reality and made the decision to choose the new tax regime, which took effect from Financial year 2023-24. The effect of this change had been recognised in tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2024 on effective tax basis. This had resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense of H 12.22 crore for the year ended March 31, 2024 on account of remeasurement of deferred tax assets.

Notes:
-
(i) Statutory bonus at the revised rates pertaining to year retrospective to the notification dated on 01.01.2016 (i.e. from 01.04.2014 to 31.12.2015) was not provided pending similar cases contesting retrospective applicability of the said notification in various Honourable High Courts. During November 2016, considering the industry practices, the management after internal deliberations decided to and has paid the incremental bonus covering the fiscal year of the said notification i.e. from 01.04.2015 to 31.12.2015 aggregating to H 5.55 crore, which was presented as exceptional item in the financials for the year ended 31.03.2017. The incremental bonus for the FY 2014-15 is continued as contingent liability pending similar cases contesting retrospective applicability of the said notification in various Honourable High Courts.
-
(ii) The Company has ongoing disputes with Income Tax Authorities relating to tax treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses for Corporate tax, the tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by the Company as deductions and the computation of certain allowances.
-
(iii) Service Tax Department had raised demand amounting to H 5.11 crore (for the period April 08 to September 08 - H 1.57 crore and for the period October 08 to September 09 - H 3.54 crore) for delay in filing the prescribed declaration for availing Cenvat credit. Aggrieved by the order, company had preferred an appeal with CESTAT. The appeal was decided in favour of the company during January 2016. Subsequently service tax department filed an appeal with High Court in 2017. The case being question of law, the High Court admitted the appeal in December 2018. Considering the merit of the case, confirmation of demand is likely to be remote, hence contingent liability has been disclosed to the tune of H 19.20 crore (March 31, 2024: H 18.43 crore) consisting of demand of H 5.11 crore and interest and penalty of H 14.09 crore (March 31, 2024: H 13.32 crore).
-
(iv) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on the receipt of the judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.
-
(v) The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.

Employee benefit plans
The plans typically expose the company to the actuarial risks such as: investments risk, interest risks, longevity risk and salary risk
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds when there is a deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability. The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary risk
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
In respect of the plan in India and Sweden, the actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are carried out for March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 by Willis Towers Watson, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, are measured using the projected unit credit method on a proportionate basis.
The fair value of plan assets are majorly balance mix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments. The Trust activities are managed by mix of professional employees representing management and employees.
- 33.4 The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Holding company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity.

-
1 Investments in mutual funds: The fair value is derived based on the closing Net Asset value published by the respective mutual fund houses.
-
2 Derivative instruments: The fair value is derived based valued using the forward pricing valuation technique, using present value calculations.
-
3 Contractual financial asset: The fair value is derived based on the valuation report obtained as it is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

37.3 Financial risk management
In the course of its business, the Group is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.
The Group has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to:
-
Create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Group’s business plan.
-
Achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
37.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
37.5 Foreign currency exchange rate risk:
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective consolidated entities.
Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Group operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in U.S Dollar, Great Britain Pounds, Euro and Swedish Krona, against the respective functional currencies of Tata Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries.
The Group, as per its risk management policy, uses foreign exchange and other derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate exposure. The Group evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. It hedges a part of these risks by using derivative financial instruments in accordance with its risk management policies. For further details with respect to Foreign Currency Risk (other than risk arising from derivatives) refer below details.
Furthermore, any movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Group against major foreign currencies may impact the Group’s revenue from its international operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Group’s cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing the Group’s capital expenditures.
The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its exposure in foreign currency. The information on derivative instruments is as follows:
-
1 Trade receivables
-
2 Cash and Cash Equivalent
-
3 Other Bank Balances
-
4 Loans
-
5 Borrowings
-
6 Trade payables
-
7 Other financial liabilities
-
8 Other financial assets
-

37.6 Interest rate risk
The Group’s investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing deposits/debentures and long term growth mutual funds. Hence, the Group is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
37.7 Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, loans, investments, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets.
Out of the total trade receivables, no single customer has balance more than 20% of the gross receivable.
The remaining balance of trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable and, where appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of Standalone financial statements 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.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone

financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report 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 with reference to the aforesaid Standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Tata Technologies Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2025, based on the internal financial controls with reference to 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 (the “Guidance Note”).
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to 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 Standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
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 financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to 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 controls with reference to financial statements
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
include 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 Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to 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 financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. Company overview
TATA Technologies Limited (“TTL or the Company“) was incorporated on August 22, 1994 as a Private Limited Company in the name of Core Software Systems Private Limited. The name of the Company was subsequently changed to Tata Technologies (India) Limited. On February 8, 2001, the Company changed its name from Tata Technologies (India) Limited to Tata Technologies Limited. The Company is headquarter in Pune, India. The Company has six offices located at Mumbai, Jamshedpur, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Coimbatore, Chennai and a branch office located in Japan that enables it to provide high quality, cost-effective services to clients.
The Company is the subsidiary of Tata Motors Limited (which is the Holding Company).
2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of Preparation
(i) Statement of compliance
These financial statements comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024; the related Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) for the year ended, the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity, and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 and the Material accounting policies (together referred to as ‘financial statements’).
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
These financial statements were approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on April 25, 2025.
These 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 crore, unless otherwise indicated.
- (ii) Historical cost convention
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, except for the following:
-
certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value or amortised cost;
-
defined benefit plans plans; and
share-based payments
- (iii) Current versus non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current – noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
- (iv) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Critical accounting estimates:
- (a) Useful lives of Property, plant and equipment
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
- (b) Income Taxes
Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve
Annual Report 2024-25 325
324 Engineering a software-defined future
CORPORATE OVERVIEW STATUTORY REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
(f) Defined benefit plans and compensated absences
complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its longterm nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
(c) Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. 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 is reduced.
(g) Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
- (d) Expected credit losses on financial assets
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
- (e) Revenue recognition and contract assets (to the extent of projects where revenue is recognized on percentage completion method)
The Company uses the percentage-ofcompletion method in accounting for its fixedprice contracts. Use of the percentage-ofcompletion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
2.2 Foreign currency transaction and translation
-
(i) Functional and presentation currency:
-
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
2.3 Revenue recognition
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
The Company earns revenue primarily from providing Engineering, Research and Development (ER&D) services, Digital Enterprise Solutions (DES) services, solutions for education business and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services and products.
- (ii) Transactions and balances
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are re-instated into the functional currency at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a 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.
-
Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized and measured by units delivered and efforts expended.
-
Revenue related to fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Company provides services is recognized based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight lined over the period of performance.
-
In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using percentageof-completion method (‘POC method’) of accounting with contract cost incurred determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
(iii) Foreign operations
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into presentation currency as follows:
-
Revenue from the sale of internally developed software is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is delivered to the customer. In cases where implementation and / or customization services rendered modifies or customizes the software, these services and software are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of product.
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the Balance Sheet
-
Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the respective months (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions).
-
Revenue from the sale of third party software is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
-
The Company is also in business of solutions for education business and in business of supply of third-party software. In such cases, revenue for supply of such third-party products are recorded at gross or net basis depending on whether the Company is acting as the principal or as an agent of the customer. The Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration when it is acting as a principal and at net amount of consideration when it is acting as an agent.
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and held in foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), a component of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized in FCTR is transferred to the statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, commission, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, commission, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
Invoices are usually payable based on the credit terms agreed with customers which vary up to 150 days.
Contract assets are recognized 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 and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognized when there are billings in excess of revenues.
In accordance with Ind AS 37, the Company recognizes an onerous contract provision when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
- The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate Standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in the contract. Where Standalone selling price is not observable, the Company uses the expected cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements.
The Company reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.
- The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. 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 product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition
-
The Company’s contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. The Company assesses the products / services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
-
Contract fulfilment costs are generally expensed as incurred except where they meet the criteria for capitalization. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular when considering if

using the straight-line method considering the nature, estimated usage, operating conditions, past history of replacement and anticipated technological changes. Taking into account these factors, the Company has decided to retain the useful life hitherto adopted for various categories of property, plant and equipment, which are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Act.
costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
2.4 Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.
The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Type of Asset | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Lease hold improvements Buildings Plant and machinery Computer equipments Vehicles Furniture & fixtures Software |
Lower of Lease period or estimated useful life 5 to 25 years 1 to 21 years 1 to 4 years 3 years 1 to 21 years 1 to 4years |
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure 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.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end with the effect of any changes in the estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when discarded/scrapped. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit and loss in the reporting period in which they occur.
2.5 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the month in which they are available for use. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically at each financial year end.
Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work- in-progress.
Internally generated intangible asset arising from development activity is recognised at cost on demonstration of its technical feasibility, the intention and ability of the Company to complete, use or sell it, only if, it is probable that the asset would generate future economic benefit and the expenditure attributable to the said assets during its development can be measured reliably.
As 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.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Software not exceeding H 25,000 is charged off to the statement of profit and loss.

project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
financing component are measured at transaction price.
- technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
(iii) Measurement:
-
Subsequent to initial recognition, nonderivative financial instruments are measured as described below:
-
its intention to complete the asset;
-
its ability to use or sell the asset;
-
how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and;
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks (three months or less from the date of acquisition). For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks (three months or less from the date of acquisition), net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company’s cash management system. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current liabilities.
- the availability of adequate resources to complete the development.
2.7 Financial instruments
(a) Financial assets:
- (i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets
in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either though other comprehensive income, or through profit and loss), and
-
those measured at amortised cost
Investment in subsidiaries and associate:
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics.
The Company has accounted for its investment in subsidiaries and associate at cost less impairment.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost:
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where
(ii) Initial recognition:
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
When the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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 recognised to extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.”
the Company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
2.8 Financial liabilities
- (i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
(iv) Impairment of financial assets:
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. In determining the allowances for doubtful trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at amortised cost:
Borrowings, trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
(v) Derecognition of financial assets:
(iii) Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
- the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109 .
retains contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW STATUTORY REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
(iv) Derivative Financial Instruments
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use, are tested for impairment annually at each balance sheet date, or earlier, if there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in foreign operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
The Company limits the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management policies including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank.
Although the Company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than it’s carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the income statement.
As at March 31, 2025, none of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right to use assets were considered impaired.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets / liabilities in this category are presented as current assets / current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
2.10 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which the reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are determined at present value based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract.
2.9 Impairment - Non Financial Assets
Intangible assets, Property, Plant and Equipment and Right to Use Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that any Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets with finite lives and Right to use Assets may be impaired. If any such impairment exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that

not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
2.11 Earnings per equity share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for treasury shares held and dilutive potential shares, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and foreign branches where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
2.12 Taxation
Income tax comprises current and deferred taxes. Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except when they relate to items that are recognized outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case tax is also recognized outside profit or loss, or where they arise from the initial accounting for business combination.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
- (i) Current income tax:
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the year. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the year. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.
The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
- (ii) Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is
- (iii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as a deferred tax asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax in the future.

2.13 Employee benefits:
- (i) Post-employment benefit plans:
The Company participates in various employee benefit plans. Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense during the year when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss in the year of plan amendment.
With effect from April 1, 2003, this plan was amended, and benefits earned by covered employees have been protected as at March 31, 2003. Employees covered by this plan are prospectively entitled to benefits computed on a basis that ensures that the annual cost of providing the pension benefits would not exceed 15% of salary.
The Company has the following employee
benefit plans:
a. Provident fund
In accordance with Indian law, Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both, the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee’s salary. The Company has no further obligations under this scheme beyond its periodic contributions.
Separate irrevocable trusts are maintained for employees covered and entitled to benefits. The Company contribute up to 15% of the eligible employees’ basic salary to the trust every year. Such contributions are recognized as an expense when incurred. The Company has no further obligation beyond this contribution.
c. Gratuity
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 to 30 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company makes annual contributions to gratuity funds established as trusts. The Company account for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future
b. Superannuation
The Company has two superannuation plans, a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. An eligible employee on April 1, 1996 could elect to be a member of either plan.
Employees who are members of the defined benefit superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service and salary drawn. The monthly pension benefits after retirement range from 0.75% to 2% of the annual basic salary for each year of service. The

right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
The Company has curtailed its Postretirement Medicare scheme which is an unfunded defined benefit plan to exclude all employees who will retire after December 31, 2020. Accordingly, with effect from January 2021, the carrying value of liability has been recognised based on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method for those beneficiaries having claims under this scheme before the date of discontinuation.
e. Post-retirement medicare scheme
Under this unfunded scheme, employees of the Company receive medical benefits subject to certain limits on amounts of benefits, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade and location at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Company as part of an Early Separation Scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent disablement are also covered under the scheme. The Company account for the liability for post-retirement medical scheme based on an estimated basis for the period end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method at the financial year end.
(ii) Compensated absences
The Company provides for the encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment. The liability is provided based on number of days of unutilized leave at each balance sheet date based on an estimated basis for the period end and on an independent actuarial valuation under Projected Unit Cost method at the financial year end.
Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of plan amendment.
2.14 Share based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to the employees via the Share based long term incentive scheme 2022 (“SLTI 2022”).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share options outstanding account in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
Costs comprising service cost (including current and past service cost and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) and net interest expense or income is recognized in profit or loss.
The obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional

fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of rightof-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-ofuse assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/ or service conditions are satisfied.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Cash-settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-
2.15 Dividends
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 as per Ind AS 10.
2.16 Leases
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. Company as a lessee The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from nonlease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and have been classified according to their nature.
Company as a lessor
2.18 Exceptional items
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
The Company considers exceptional items to be those which derive from events or transactions which are significant for separate disclosure by virtue of their size or incidence in order for the user to obtain a proper understanding of the Company’s financial performance. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition costs, impairment charges, restructuring costs and profits and losses on disposal of subsidiaries and other one-off items which meet this definition. To provide a better understanding of the underlying results of the year, exceptional items are reported separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.19 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS – 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its Standalone financial statements.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate the consideration in the contract.
Sub lease
At the inception of the sub lease contract, the Company classifies the sub lease as a finance lease or an operating lease based on criteria in Ind AS 116 Lease.

Note:
In the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Government of India added a new section 115BAA (the “New Tax Regime”) on September 20, 2019 through the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act 2019. This section gave domestic companies the option to pay income taxes at the lower rate (25.17%, inclusive of surcharge and cess) subject to the rules/ conditions outlined in the said section. The company evaluated the underlying assumptions in lights of the business reality and made the decision to choose the new tax regime, which took effect in the last quarter of Financial year 2023-24. The effect of this change had been recognised in tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2024 on effective tax basis. This had resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense of H 12.22 crore for the year ended March 31, 2024 on account of remeasurement of deferred tax assets.

(i) Securities Premium identified seperately for consolidation adjustment
During 2010, based on the approval of Shareholders of the Company at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held on March 5, 2010 and the Order of the Honourable High Court of Judicature at Mumbai dated April 16, 2010, the Company had utilized balance in the securities premium account to the tune of H 46.66 crore towards one time charges/cost (including change in accounting policy for provision for doubtful debts) incurred by
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements
the Company and its subsidiary companies. The amounts relating to the Company amounting to H 17.32 crore had been adjusted to the Securities Premium Account. An amount of H 29.34 crore equivalent to the total amount of adjustments relating to the subsidiaries had been identified and segregated from the balance in the Securities Premium Account for adjustment on consolidation. Of this total adjustment made H 1.58 crore and H 16.58 crore relates to provision for doubtful debts of the Company and its subsidiary companies respectively on account of change in accounting policy with regard to provision for doubtful debts.
Consequently, such excess provisions for doubtful debts on account of the said collections have been written back to the Securities Premium Account. The subsidiary companies have realized from doubtful debts upto March 31, 2021 H 6.18 crores. Accordingly the said amount has been transferred from the Securities Premium identified seperately for consolidated adjustment to Securities Premium Account and the balance amount of H 23.16 crores (March 31, 2024 H 23.16 crores) relating to the subsidiaries is continued to be disclosed separately as securities premium account for adjustment on consolidation.
(ii) Capital redemption reserve
As per Companies Act, 2013, capital redemption reserve is created when company purchases its own shares out of free reserves or securities premium. A sum equal to the nominal value of the shares so purchased is transferred to capital redemption reserve. The Company has transferred the amount to Capital redemption reserve from Securities Premium.
(iii) General reserve
The Company has transferred a portion of the net profit of the Company before declaring dividend to general reserve pursuant to the earlier provisions of Companies Act 1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.
(iv) Share options oustanding account
The Share options outstanding account is used to record the fair value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock options and transferred to the general reserve on account of stock options not exercised by employees.
(v) Retained earnings
Retained earnings comprises of the Company’s undistributed earnings after taxes.

Notes:
-
(i) Statutory bonus at the revised rates pertaining to year retrospective to the notification dated on 01.01.2016 (i.e. from 01.04.2014 to 31.12.2015) was not provided pending similar cases contesting retrospective applicability of the said notification in various Honourable High Courts. During November 2016, considering the industry practices, the management after internal deliberations decided to and has paid the incremental bonus covering the fiscal year of the said notification i.e. from 01.04.2015 to 31.12.2015 aggregating to H. 5.55 crore, which has been presented as exceptional item in the financials for the year ended 31.03.2017. The incremental bonus for the FY 2014-15 is continued as contingent liability pending similar cases contesting retrospective applicability of the said notification in various Honourable High Courts.
-
(ii) The Company has ongoing disputes with Income Tax Authorities relating to tax treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses for Corporate tax, the tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by the Company as deductions and the computation of certain allowances.
-
(iii) Service Tax Department had raised demand amounting to H 5.11 crore (for the period April 08 to September 08 - H 1.57 crore and for the period October 08 to September 09 - H 3.54 crore) for delay in filing the prescribed declaration for availing cenvat credit. Aggrieved by the order, company had preferred an appeal with CESTAT. The appeal was decided in favour of the company during January 2016. Subsequently service tax department filed an appeal with High Court in 2017. The case being question of law, the High Court admitted the appeal in December 2018. Considering the merit of the case, confirmation of demand is likely to be remote, hence contingent liability has been disclosed to the tune of H 19.20 crore (March 31, 2024: H 18.43 crore) consisting of demand of H 5.11 crore and interest and penalty of H 14.09 crore (March 31, 2024: H 13.32 crore).
-
(iv) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings as it is determinable only on the receipt of the judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.
-
(v) The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.

Employee benefit plans
The plans typically expose the company to the actuarial risks such as: investments risk, interest risks, longevity risk and salary risk
-
Investment risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting Year on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting Year on high quality corporate bonds when there is a deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
-
Interest risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
-
Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
-
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
In respect of the plan in India, the actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are carried out for March 31, 2025 by Willis Towers Watson, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, are measured using the projected unit credit method on a proportionate basis.
The fair value of plan assets are majorly balance mix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments.
The Trust activities are managed by mix of professional employees representing management and employees.

35.2 (b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 1, 2 and 3 financial instruments included in the above tables:
-
Investments in mutual funds: The fair value is derived based on the closing Net Asset value published by the respective mutual fund houses.
-
Derivative instruments: The fair value is derived based valued using the forward pricing valuation technique, using present value calculations.
-
Contractual financial asset: The fair value is derived based on the valuation report obtained as it is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
-
35.2 (c) As per Ind AS 107 “Financial Instrument: Disclosure”, fair value disclosures are not required when the carrying amounts reasonably approximate the fair value. Accordingly fair value disclosures have not been made for the following financial instruments:-
-
Trade receivables
-
Cash and Cash Equivalent
-
Other Bank Balances
-
Loans
-
Trade payables
-
Other financial liabilities
-
Other financial assets
-
Lease liabilities
35.3 Financial risk management
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.
The Company has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to:
-
Create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s business plan.
-
Achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
35.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
35.5 Foreign currency exchange rate risk:
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective consolidated entities.
