The Company's Investment Property consists of two properties in Mumbai lying vacant and two properties in Chennai, one lying vacant and one let out on rent with a lease term of less than 12 months.

On transition to Ind AS (i.e. 1^st April 2016), the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all Investment Properties measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Investment Property.

The fair value of the investment properties are determined by an accredited Independent valuer, who is a specialist in valuing these types of investment properties and is a registered valuer as defined under Rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The valuation model in accordance with that recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee has been applied. The resulting Fair Value Estimates are classified under Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy (Refer Note 41.2).

The Company has no restrictions on the disposal of its Investment Property and no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop Investment Property or for Repairs, Maintenance and Enhancements.

iv) During the previous year, considering the economic crisis in Sri Lanka and market conditions of Bicycle Industry in India, the Company has recognized an impairment provision of ?23.45 Cr. in respect of Investments made in its Sri Lankan Subsidiaries.

Investments at fair value through OCI (fully paid) reflect investment in unquoted equity securities. The Company has irrevocably designated the unquoted equity securities as FVTOCI on the basis that these are not held for trading and considers these as strategic investments. Refer Note 41.1 for determination of their fair value.

*Represents amount less than ?0.01 Cr.

Notes:

i) During the year, the Company subscribed to 46,29,916 equity shares of face value of ?10 each of Dalavaipuram Renewables Private Limited at face value, amounting to ?4.63 Cr.

The above loans have been given for the purposes of expansion and general corporate purposes.

There are no loans and advances which are either repayable on demand or are without specifying any terms or period of repayment.

Loans are non-derivative financial assets which generate a fixed interest income for the Company and measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount may be affected by the changes in the credit risk of the counter parties.

During the year, the Company has invested an aggregate amount of ?3,981.00 Cr. (Previous Year ?3,432.90 Cr.) in the units of various Cash Management Schemes of mutual funds, for the purpose of deployment of temporary cash surplus and has ?229.03 Cr. (Previous Year ?293.30 Cr) in mutual fund investments as at year end. The total consideration received on the sale of units during the year was ?4,058.98 Cr. (Previous Year ?3,431.43 Cr.)

Trade Receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally have Credit period to a maximum of 120 days. For terms and conditions relating to Related Party receivables, refer Note 37. There are no dues by directors or other officers of the Company or any of them either severally or jointly with any other person or debts due by firms or private companies respectively in which any director is a partner or a director or a member, other than as disclosed in refer Note 37.

b) Terms/Rights attached to class of shares

The Company has only one class of shares referred to as Equity Shares having a par value of ?1 each. The holders of Equity Shares are entitled to one vote per share. Dividend proposed by the Board of Directors, if any, is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Repayment of capital will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

a. General Reserve - Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act, 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

c. Retained Earnings - Retained earnings are the profits/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss/(gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.

e. Cash Flow Hedge Reserve - The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in fair value of designated portion of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges. The cumulative gain or loss arising on changes in fair value of the designated portion of the hedging instruments that are recognised and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss only when the hedged transaction affects the profit or loss, or included as a basis adjustment to the non-financial hedged item.

A provision is recognised for expected warranty claims on products sold during the last one year (2 years in respect of certain components), based on past experience of the level of returns. It is expected that most of these costs will be incurred within one year after the reporting date. Assumptions used to calculate the provision for warranties were based on current sales levels and current information available about returns based on the applicable warranty period for all products sold.

Note: The unspent CSR amount of ?5.63 Cr pertains to ongoing projects, deposited in a separate bank account in accordance with Schedule VII of the Companies Act ("Act”) in compliance with second proviso to sub section 6 of section 135 of the Act before 30^th April 2024. The balance in the designated account is ?5.63 Cr.

Note: In respect of other than ongoing projects, there are no unspent amount that are required to be transferred to a fund specified in schedule VII with the Companies Act (the act) in compliance with second proviso to sub section 5 of section 135 of the act.

Note 32. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company's Standalone Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

a. Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgement, which has significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Standalone Financial Statements.

i. LeasesDetermining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Company as lessee

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination.

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow.

Refer Note 39 for information on potential future rental payments relating to periods following the exercise date of extension and termination options that are not included in the lease term.

b. Estimates and Assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Standalone Financial Statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

i. Impairment of Non-Financial assets including Investment in Subsidiaries

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.

ii. Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

iii. Revenue from Contract with Customers

The Company estimates variable considerations to be included in the transaction price for the sale of goods with rights of return and volume rebates. The Company's expected volume rebates are analysed on a per customer basis for contracts that are subject to volume threshold. Determining whether a customer will be likely entitled to rebate will depend on the customer's rebates entitlement and accumulated purchases to date.

iv. Allowances for Slow/Non moving Inventory and Obsolescence

An allowance for Inventory is recognised for cases where the realisable value is estimated to be lower than the inventory carrying value. The inventory allowance is estimated taking into account various factors, including prevailing sales prices of inventory item and losses associated with obsolete/slow-moving/redundant inventory items. The Company has, based on these assessments, made adequate provision in the books.

v. Employee Benefits

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment leave encashment benefit and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. 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. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds where remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term of defined benefit obligation. 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. Further details about defined benefit obligations are given in Note 35.

vi. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, Credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 41 for further disclosures.

Note 33. Standards issued but not yet effective

There are no standards that are notified and not yet effective as on 31^st March 2024.

Note 34. Stock Options

During the year fresh grant of 19,480 options under ESOP 2017 scheme was approved by the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

With reference to the grants approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the

Company, the Company has recognised expense amounting to ?7.51 Cr. (Previous Year - ?7.85 Cr.) for employees services

received during the year which is shown under Share based payments (Refer Note 23).

Note 35. Employee Benefits Obligation Defined Benefit Plan a. Gratuity

Under the Gratuity plan operated by the Company, every employee who has completed at least five years of service gets a Gratuity on leaving the organisation at 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The fund has the form of a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of the plan assets and reviews the level of funding in the gratuity plan. The scheme is funded with an Insurance Company in the form of qualifying insurance policy. The following table summarizes the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet.

Notes:

i The entire Plan Assets are invested in insurer managed funds with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

ii The expected/actual return on Plan Assets is as furnished by LIC.

iii The estimate of future salary increase takes into account inflation, likely increments, promotions and other relevant factors.

b. Provident Fund

The Company's Provident Fund is exempted under Section 17 of the The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of

separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefits vests immediately on rendering of the

services by the employee. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust (including any decrease in value of investments) and the notified interest rate. The exempt provident fund set up by the company is a defined benefit plan under Ind AS 19 - Employee Benefits.

d. Contributions to Defined Contribution Plans

During the year, the Company recognised ?6.84 Crs (Previous year - ?4.85 Crs) to Provident Fund under Defined Contribution Plan, ?9.73 Crs (Previous year - ?9.29 Crs) for Contributions to Superannuation Fund, ?0.85 Crs (Previous year - ?0.86 Crs) for Contributions to Employee State Insurance Scheme and ?0.34 Crs (Previous Year - ?0.24 Crs) for Contribution to National Pension Scheme in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Note 36a. Contingent LiabilitiesNote i

a) Matters wherein management has concluded the Company's liability to be probable have accordingly been provided for in the books. Also Refer note 17

b) Matters wherein management has concluded the Company's liability to be possible have accordingly been disclosed under Note 36a ii Contingent liabilities below

c) Matters wherein management is confident of succeeding in these litigations and have concluded the Company's liability to be remote. This based on the relevant facts of judicial precedents and as advised by legal counsel which involves various legal proceedings and claims, in different stages of process

(a) Draft Assessment Orders received from Taxation Authorities and Show Cause Notices received from various other government authorities, pending adjudication, have been assessed by the management and considered appropriately in the standalone financial statements.

(b) The uncertainties and possible reimbursement in respect of the above mentioned contingent liabilities are dependent on the outcome of various legal proceedings and therefore, cannot be predicted accurately.

(c) The Company considers the Cash flow in each of the cases to be uncertain and hence considered as Contingent Liabilities.

Terms and Conditions of transaction with Related Parties

The sale to and purchases from Related Parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free (excluding inter-corporate deposits) and settlement occurs in Cash. For the year ended 31^st March 2024, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by Related Parties.

As the liabilities for gratuity and leave encashment are provided on actuarial basis for the Company as a whole, the amounts pertaining to the key management personnel are not included above.

Note 38. Segment Information

Effective 1^st April 2021, the Company has re-organised certain business units and its operating structure and in view of the structural changes, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the business as three primary segments -"Engineering”, "Metal Formed Products” and "Mobility”, and in accordance with the core principles of IND AS 108 - 'Operating Segments', these have been considered as the reportable segments of the Company.

The Management Committee headed by Managing Director (CODM) consisting of Chief financial officer, Leaders of Strategic Business Units and Human resources have identified the above three reportable operating segments. It reviews and monitors the operating results of the operating segments for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment using profit or loss and return on capital employed.

The Engineering segment comprises of cold rolled steel strips and precision steel tube viz., Cold Drawn Welded tubes (CDW) and Electric Resistance Welded tubes (ERW). The Metal Formed Products segment comprises of Automotive chains, fine blanked products, stamped products, roll-formed car doorframes and cold rolled formed sections for railway wagons and passenger coaches.The Mobility segment comprises of Standard bi-cycles, Special bi-cycles including alloy bikes and Speciality performance bikes and fitness equipment. The Industrial chains and new business namely, Optic Lens, TMT Bars and TI Machine building are reported as Others for the purpose of segment reporting.

Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocated corporate assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to any segment. Expenses that are directly identifiable to segments are considered for determining the segment results. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments are included under unallocated corporate expenses.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Note 39. Leases

The Company has lease contracts for Land and Building used for the purpose of Warehouses and Factories. Leases of such assets generally have lease terms between 2 and 95 years. The Company's obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor's title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets and some contracts require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments, which are further discussed below.

The Company also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the 'short-term lease' recognition exemptions for these leases.

The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the period is explained in Note No.4b

Set out below are the carrying amounts of lease liabilities included under financial liabilities and the movements during the period:

The Company had total cash outflows for leases (including short term leases) of ?13.00 Cr. in 31^st March 2024 (?10.83 Cr. during the year ended 31^st March 2023). The Company also had non-cash additions to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of ?2.21 Cr. during the year (?1.62 Cr. during the year ended 31^st March 2023). There are no future cash outflows relating to leases that have not yet commenced.

The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Company's business needs. Management exercises some or certain judgements in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised (see Note 32).

The company does not expect undiscounted potential future rental payments relating to periods following the exercise date of extension and termination options that are not included in the lease term

Company as Lessor:

The Company has entered into operating leases on one of its factory buildings from December 2022 onwards having lease term of fifteen years. Rental income recognized by the Company during the year is ?4.68 Crs (Previous year - ?3.76 Crs). Future minimum rentals receivable under operating leases as at 31^st March are as follows:

The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans, current investments, other financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

i. The fair values of quoted equity investments are derived from quoted market prices in active markets.

ii. The fair values of certain unquoted equity investments have been estimated using Discounted Cash-flow Model (DCF). The valuation is based on certain assumptions like forecast cash-flows, discount rate, etc.

iii. Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices.

Note 41.2. Fair Values Hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company's assets and liabilities:

Note 42. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise of borrowings and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as trade receivables, cash and short-term deposits, which arise directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTOCI investments and enters into derivative transactions.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by a Risk Management Committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Risk Management Committee provides assurance to the Company's senior management that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that the financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

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.

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 Company.

The Company, as per its forex policy, uses foreign exchange and other derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate exposure.

The Company 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 forex policy.

The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 5%.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to 5% appreciation in USD and EURO exchange rates on foreign currency exposures as at the year end, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company's profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Conversely, 5% depreciation in the USD and Euro rates against the significant foreign currencies as at 31^st March 2024 and 31^st March 2023 would have had the same but opposite effect, again holding all other variables constant.

Equity Price Risk

Equity Price Risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investments in equity securities.

The majority of the Company's investments are in the shares of group companies, which are carried at cost. The Company has investments in other equity investments, of only ?5.76 Cr. as at 31^st March 2024. (As at 31^st March 2023 - ?8.74 Cr).

B. Credit Risk

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 both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, loans and advances and derivative financial instruments. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentrations of credit risks.

Exposure to Credit risk - The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum Credit exposure. The maximum exposure to Credit risk was ?1,778.25 Cr. as at 31^st March 2024 and ?1,526.10 Cr. as at 31^st March 2023, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks, short term deposits with banks, trade receivables, derivative instruments, mutual fund investments and other financial assets excluding equity investments.

Credit risk from balances with banks and investment of surplus funds in mutual funds is managed by the Company's treasury department. The objective is to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss.

Of the above, ?229.89 Cr. (Previous year - ?160.75 Cr.) is backed by Export Credit Guarantee Cover/Letter of Credit as at 31^st March 2024.

C. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements.

The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. Furthermore, the Company has access to funds from debt markets through commercial paper, non-convertible debentures, and other debt instruments. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/low mark to market risks.

The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

As at 31^st March 2024, the Company has undrawn committed lines of ?288.98 Cr. (As at 31^st March 2023 - ?276.79 Cr.)

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities based on Contractual undiscounted payments:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates

The effect on Profit before tax on increase of 50 basis points will be ?1.15 Crs (Previous year : ?1.18 Crs). Conversely, decrease of 50 basis points would have had the same but opposite effect.

Note 43. Capital Management

The Company's capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long-term and short-term goals of the Company.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and long-term product and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through internal accruals, nonconvertible debentures, external commercial borrowings and other long-term/short-term borrowings. The Company's policy is aimed at combination of short-term and long-term borrowings.

The Company monitors capital employed using a Debt equity ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowings in the current period.
