All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss
in the period in which they are incurred.
2.26 Current / Non-current classification
The Company classifies an asset as current asset when:
? it expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
? it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
? i t expects to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
? the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when -
? it expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
? it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.21 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal / constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of receivable can be measured reliably.
Product warranty cost:
The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product failures. The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty claim will arise, being typically upto three years.
The Company also has back-to-back contractual arrangement with its suppliers in the event that a vehicle fault is proven to be a supplier's fault. Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claim based upon historical levels of recoveries from supplier, adjusted for inflation and applied to the population of vehicles under warranty as on Balance Sheet date. Expected recoveries towards warranty cost from the vendors are estimated and accounted for as receivable when it is certain that such recoveries will be received if the Company incurs the warranty cost. Supplier reimbursements are recognised as separate asset.
Contingent liability:
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
? Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or
? Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets:
Contingent assets are not recognized in the standalone financial statement since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.
2.22 Investments in wholly owned subsidiaries
Investments in wholly owned subsidiaries are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements.
2.23 Segment reporting
Operating segment reflect the Company's management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors (the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / (loss) amounts are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to the segment on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities.
2.24 Insurance claims
Insurance claims are recognized for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
2.25 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
? the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
? it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

G. Guarantees
The Company had executed a Deed of Corporate Guarantee in favour of SIPCOT for CST Soft Loan of ? 6,000.00 million.
H. Management's assessment
The amounts shown under contingent liabilities and disputed claims represent the best possible estimates arrived at on
the basis of the available information. The Company's tax jurisdiction is in India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgement 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.
Further, various government authorities raise issues/ clarifications in the normal course of business and the Company has provided its responses to the same and no formal demands/claims has been made by the authorities in respect of the same other than those pending before various judicial/regulatory forums as disclosed above. The uncertainties and possible reimbursement in respect of the above are dependent on the outcome of the various legal proceedings which have been initiated by the Company or the claimants, as the case may be and, therefore, cannot be predicted accurately or relate to a present obligations that arise from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate cannot be made. The Company expects a favorable decision with respect to the above disputed demands / claims based on professional advice, as applicable and, hence, no specific provision for the same has been made. The above assessment also involves detailed evaluation of complaint received by a regulator. Also refer note 28(b).
36.2 Compliance with Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency Norms ('CAFE')

Accordingly, the Company believes that computation of average fuel efficiency based on sales recorded is in compliance with the prevalent norms as at the reporting period end. It may be noted in this context that such compliance was subject to scrutiny by the regulatory authorities on the basis of the filings made by the Company and the scrutiny for such compliance was completed by the regulatory authorities on the basis of the filings made by the Company and confirmation on compliances has been obtained by the Company.
Based on their assessment, management has confirmed that they do not expect any material impact on the financial position for the year ended March 31, 2024 post such scrutiny by the regulatory authorities. Further, the Company has also obtained relevant legal advice / opinion.
Note:
The expenses are included in note 33 - Employee benefit expenses under "Contribution to provident and other funds".
37.2 Defined benefit plan
(i) Refer note 2.15 for the accounting policy of the defined benefit plan
(ii) The defined benefit plan typically exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, 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. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risk
Decrease in the Interest rate will increase the cost of providing the above benefit and thus increase in the value of liability. 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.
Note:
(i) The investments in subsidiaries (refer note 7) is accounted at cost less impairment, if any.
(ii) The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as trade receivables, loans, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts and trade payables, because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
42.3 Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
? Credit risk
? Liquidity risk
? Market risk
The Company's treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse the exposure by degree and magnitude of risks. The treasury function reports periodically to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established a risk management policy to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risk and adherence to limits. Risk management systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's trade receivables, treasury operations and Government receivables.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Management considers that the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Company is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single customer since the products are sold to and services are provided to customers who are spread over a vast spectrum and hence, the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low.
The credit worthiness of the customers are assessed through a strong credit risk assessment policy of the Company. The Company's domestic sales operates primarily on a cash and carry / advance model and do not carry significant credit risk. The Company's credit period on export sales varies on case to case basis based on market conditions and are normally backed by a letter of credit to cover the risk.
Cash and cash equivalents and other investments
In the area of treasury operations, the Company is presently exposed to counter-party risks relating to liquid funds and short term and medium term deposits placed with public / private sector banks. The credit risk is limited considering that the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings and repute.
42.3 Financial risk management (contd.)
Government receivables
The credit risk on receivables from government agencies / authorities is nil considering the sovereign nature of the receivables. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financial obligations. In addition, the Company has concluded arrangements with well reputed banks, and has unused lines of credit that could be drawn upon, should there be a need. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits.
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
Currency risk - Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies of USD, EUR and KRW.
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase in the INR against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the rate used in order to determine the sensitivity analysis considering the past trends and expectation of the management for changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes the outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the INR increases 5% against the relevant currency.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or fair values or 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 exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk), interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
Currency risk - Exposure to foreign currency
The Company's exposure in USD, Korean Won and other foreign currency denominated transactions mainly on import of components, royalty payments and export of vehicles gives rise to exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company adopts natural hedge strategy and discounting of export bills to minimize currency fluctuation risk. The appropriateness / adequacy
49 The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on November 13, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The Company will assess the impact and its evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.
