Note :
1. Figures for FY17 onwards are as per Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013.
Hence these figures are not comparable with the corresponding figures reported for the previous years.
Dear Stakeholders,
FY22 was an eventful year with the country weathering two waves of COVID-19.
The global economy is projected to have grown by 5.9% in 2021, the fastest rate
recorded in over four decades. After recovering from a historic contraction of 7.3%
in the preceding year, India’s economy is estimated to have grown by 9.0% in FY22
surpassing pre-pandemic level.
The demand environment remained largely favourable with passenger vehicle and
commercial vehicle segments clocking healthy growth whereas two wheeler and farm
tractor segments had marginal decline. Semiconductor shortages continued in FY22.
Supply chain and logistics related issues have been chaotic and last but not the least,
commodity price increases globally and in India has been extremely challenging.
Group Performance
The group aggregate Total Revenue grew 31% to `5,440 crore, highest ever revenue
for the group. Though the growth was partially due to low base and commodity
price adjustments, the group companies continued to gain market share with key
customers, and grow the international business to post healthy growth. Through
various cost savings and operational improvement initiatives, we were able to sustain
the EBITDA margin despite significant increase in the material cost.
The group companies continued to focus on operational improvement initiatives
to handle the inflationary pressures and saw good traction with new business
development initiatives during this period.
Operating Companies

The Company participates in a number of defined contribution plans on behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense
recognised in relation to these schemes represents the value of contributions payable during the period by the Company
at rates specified by the rules of those plans. The only amounts included in the balance sheet are those relating to the
prior months contributions that were not due to be paid until after the end of the reporting period.
In accordance with the Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, eligible employees of
the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both
employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’
salary.
The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the Government.
The Company has a superannuation plan for the benefit of its employees. Employees who are members of the
superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the years of service and salary drawn.
The Company contributes up to 15% of the eligible employees’ salary to LIC every year. Such contributions are
recognised as an expense as and when incurred. The Company does not have any further obligation beyond this
contribution.
The total expense recognised in profit or loss of ` 105 Lakhs (for the year ended 31 March 2021: ` 96 Lakhs) represents
contributions payable to these plans by the company at rates specified in the rules of the plans. As at 31 March 2022,
contributions of ` 18 Lakhs (as at 31 March 2021: ` 16 Lakhs) had not been paid. The amounts were paid subsequent
to the end of the respective reporting periods.
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 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs
upon completion of five years of service. The Company makes annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC). The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation.
The defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk and
salary risk.
Investment risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined
by reference to government/high quality bond yields; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it
will create a plan deficit.
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.
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.
The following table summarises the position of assets and obligations relating to the plans:

The current service cost and the net interest expense for the year are included in the ‘Employee benefits expense’ line item in the statement of profit and loss.

(iv) The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows.
Particulars As at As at
31 March 2022 31 March 2021
Discount rate 7.30% 6.90%
Salary escalation 8.00% 8.00%
Attrition 3.00% 3.00%
Notes:
(i) The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the Balance Sheet date for the estimated term of the
obligations.
(ii) The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors.
(iii) The entire plan assets are managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase
and attrition. The sensitivity analyses have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely
that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using
the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit
obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 4.2 years (2021 - 4.8 years). The expected maturity analysis of
undiscounted gratuity is as follows:
The Company holds strategic investments in subsidiaries and Joint venture/associates (collectively called “the Group”)
that are primarily engaged in single segment viz., manufacturing/marketing of components and providing technological
services for Transportation industry and also provides consultancy and other services to the Group.Segment reporting
information is provided in Consolidated financial statement of the Group.

There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company has adequate internal processes to assess, monitor and manage financial risks. These risks include market
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. The Company currently does not hedge or use derivative financial instruments to mitigate
foreign exchange related risk exposures.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets at the end of the reporting
period are as follows:
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease against the relevant foreign
currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change
in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary
items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A negative number below
indicates a decrease in profit or equity where the Indian Rupee strengthens by 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5%
weakening of the Indian Rupee against the relevant currency, there would be a opposite impact on the profit or equity.

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 sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for borrowings at the
end of the reporting period. The analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of
the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used and represents
management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rate had been 50 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit
for the year ended 31 March 2022 would decrease / increase by `35 Lakhs (31 March 2021 ` 38 Lakhs). This is mainly
attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowing.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the
reporting period.
The Company’s receivables are wholly from its subsidiary companies and Joint venture/associate companies. The
Company did not have any history of bad debts in earlier years in respect of the receivables from the subsidiaries
associate and Joint venture/associates. Further, the Company has assessed that there is no credit risk and thus no
allowance for impairment of trade receivables was required to be recognised.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term
and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual
cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment
periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the
earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To
the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of
the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to
pay.

payments as at 31 March 2022

The Group does not have any capital work-in-progress that has exceeded its cost compared to its original plan. Capital work-in-progress
includes certain projects whose completion is overdue. Expected completion schedule of such projects are as follows:
Impairment assessment
The Group tested the assets relating to the Group’s entity in the United States (Rane Light Metal Casting Inc.) for impairment. In order to
carry out the above assessment, projections of future cash flows of the operating step-down subsidiary based on the most recent long-
term forecasts, including selling price as well as volumes are estimated over the next five years. The estimation of sales volumes is based on
management’s assessment of probability of securing the new businesses in the future, adverse business impact and uncertainties arising due
to COVID-19 pandemic to the extent known. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial statements may differ from that estimated
as at the date of approval of these financial statements depending on the circumstances that may evolve in the future.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below. The values assigned to the key assumptions
represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both
external and internal sources.

generating unit (CGU) is determined based on fair value less costs to sell in respect of goodwill allocated to CGUs represented
by the quoted market prices of the underlying listed investment (being RML, REVL, RBL) using Level 1 inputs. The key level 1
input is the closing market value of each of these CGUs.
- In respect of the goodwill allocated to REVL related CGU, based on the market value of the underlying listed investment as
at 31 March 2022, the Group noted a need for an impairment assessment. Consequently, the management has assessed
the recoverable amount of the CGU based on the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived therefrom.
The recoverable amount is established to be higher than the carrying amount of CGU and hence no impairment was
required to be recognised as at 31 March 2022.
- G
oodwill allocated to Rane Holdings Europe GmbH CGU was not significant in comparison to the total carrying value of
Goodwill.
- A
s regards the goodwill allocated to RT4U, the recoverable amount is determined based on the fair value less cost to
sell model. This involves significant judgments and estimates including determination of comparable companies and
transactions, implied market multiples and projected revenue.
Assumptions

Projected revenue growth rate 43%
Based on the assessment, management has recorded an impairment of ` 163 lakhs for Goodwill allocated to Rane t4u Private
Limited.

30 Other income
32 Purchase of stock-in-trade
37 Other expenses
The income tax expense for the year can be reconciled to the accounting profit as follows:
38.1 Includes amount pertaining to pending income tax litigations for certain assessment years, which the Company has
opted to settle under the Vivad Se Vishwas scheme. In view of this, RHL has created a provision of ` 733 lakhs for the year
ended 31 March 2021 towards income-tax in respect of earlier years.
The Group participates in a number of defined contribution plans on behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense
recognised in relation to these schemes represents the value of contributions payable during the period by the Group
at rates specified by the rules of those plans. The only amounts included in the balance sheet are those relating to the
prior months contributions that were not due to be paid until after the end of the reporting period.
The major defined contribution plans operated by the Group are as below:
In accordance with the Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, eligible employees
of the Group are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which
both employees of the Group in India and the Group make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the
covered employees’ salary.
The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the Government.
The Group entities in India have a superannuation plan for the benefit of its employees. The Group entities in India
contribute up to 15% of the eligible employees’ salary to LIC every year. Such contributions are recognised as an
expense as and when incurred. The group does not have any further obligation beyond this contribution.
The total expense recognised in profit / (loss) of ` 1,499 Lakhs (for the year ended 31 March 2021: ` 1,426 Lakhs)
represents contributions payable to these plans by such entities at rates specified in the rules of the plans.
(a) Gratuity
The Group’s entities in India have 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 days salary payable for each completed year of service.
Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. Some of the entities in the Group makes annual contributions
to gratuity funds established as trusts or insurance companies. The Group accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits
payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation.
The defined benefit plans typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk and salary
risk.
Investment risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate
determined by reference to government/high quality bond yields; if the return on plan asset is
below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
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.
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.
(iii) Amounts recognized in statement of profit and loss & other comprehensive income in respect of these defined
benefit plans are as follows:
*Group’s share of other comprehensive income pertaining to Joint Venture / associate entities amounting to `35 lakhs
(31 March 2021: `15 lakhs) not included in the above.
The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability is included in other comprehensive income.
The Group has invested the plan assets with the insurer managed funds. The entire plan assets are managed by Life
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The data on plan assets has not been furnished by LIC. The expected rate of return
on plan asset is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund
during the estimated term of the obligation.
The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion
and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market. The expected rate of return on plan
assets is based on the composition of plan assets held (through LIC), historical results of the return on plan assets, the
Group’s policy for plan asset management and other relevant factors.
(v) The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
Particulars Valuation as at
31 March 2022 31 March 2021
Discount rate(s) 5.40% to 7.32% 4.20% to 6.91%
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
Executives and staff 4.50% to 12.00% 4.50% to 12.00%
Operators 4.50% to 12.00% 4.50% to 12.00%
Attrition rate
Executives and staff 3.00% to 40.00% 3.00% to 47.00%
Operators 1.00% to 8.00% 1.00% to 5.00%
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation
as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may
be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been
calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied
in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
In respect of a US subsidiary of Rane (Madras) Limited [Rane Light Metal Casting Inc.]
Rane Light Metal Castings Inc. has a 401k plan set up for its employees. The contributions payable to these plans by
Rane Light Metal Castings Inc. are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
The total expense recognised in profit or loss of ` 108 Lakhs (for the year ended 31 March 2021: ` 114 Lakhs) represents
contributions payable to these plans by LMCA at rates specified in the rules of the plans.
Pension -
A participant is eligible for his normal retirement pension after the participant has attained age of 62 and terminates
employment. A participant shall receive a monthly benefit payable at normal retirement age equal to:
- $23:00 multiplied by years of benefit service from December 2003 to 10 October 2005; plus
- $24:00 multiplied by years of benefit service from October 2005 to 09 October 2006; plus
- $25:00 multiplied by years of benefit service from 09 October 2006, to 08 October 2007; plus
- $26:00 multiplied by years of benefit service from 08 October 2007 to 16 December 2010; plus
- $16:00 multiplied by benefit service after 16 December 2010.
Disability benefit:
The benefit will be payable in the form of a lifetime pension until the earliest of: recovery, death or normal retirement
date.
Death benefit:
If a participant dies after he/she has become vested under the Plan but before he/she begins to receive a retirement
pension benefit, his/her spouse will receive a 50% survivor benefit if he/she has been married at least one year.
The liability with regards to the Plan are determined by the actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary,
at each balance sheet date using projected unit cost method. Rane Light Metal Castings Inc. contributes all ascertained
liabilities to the registered investment companies which are held under a separate trust through custodian, Charles
Schwab, as permitted by the Department of Labor, USA.
Rane Light Metal Casting Inc. is exposed to various risks in providing the above pension benefit which are as follows:
Interest rate risk: The plan exposes Rane Light Metal Castings Inc. to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates
will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value
of the liability (as shown in financial statements)
Investment risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular
investment
Salary escalation risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase
rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of
increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability
(i) Movements in the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows:
(iii) The amount included in the balance sheet arising from the entity’s obligation in respect of its defined benefit plans
is as follows :
(iv) Amounts recognized in statement of profit and loss in respect of these defined benefit plans are as follows:
Particulars 2021-22 2020-21
Current service cost 54 60
Net Interest expense 43 64
Components of defined benefit costs recognized in profit or loss 97 123
Components of defined benefit cost recognized in other comprehensive income
Remeasurement on the net defined benefit liability:
- Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustment (240) (70)
Return on plan assets 190 (455)
Net income / (cost) in other comprehensive income (50) (525)
Rane Light Metal Castings Inc. has generally invested the plan assets with the insurer managed funds. The insurance
company has invested the plan assets in Government Securities, Debt Funds, Equity shares, Mutual Funds, Money Market
Instruments and Time Deposits. The expected rate of return on plan asset is based on expectation of the average long
term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligation.
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected
salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible
changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The results of sensitivity analysis is given below:
Sensitivity analysis
Particulars As at As at
31 March 2022 31 March 2021
Projected benefit obligation on current assumptions 4,847 4,892
Delta effect of +0.5% change in rate of discounting (329) (366)
Delta effect of -0.5% change in rate of discounting 368 412
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis
presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that
the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been
calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as
applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 10 years. The expected maturity analysis of
undiscounted gratuity is as follows:

potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk. The Group
uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is
influenced mainly by the individual credit profile of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
The risk management objective of the Group is to hedge risk of change in the foreign currency exchange rates associated with it’s
direct & indirect transactions denominated in foreign currency. Since most of the transactions of the Group are denominated in its
functional currency (INR), any foreign exchange fluctuation affects the profitability of the Group and its financial position. Hedging
provides stability to the financial performance by estimating the amount of future cash flows and reducing volatility.
Market risk is the risk that changes in the market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect
the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
The Group operates on a global platform and a portion of the business is transacted in multiple currencies. Consequently, the
Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales in the United States, European Union and other parts of the world, and
purchases from overseas suppliers in different foreign currencies. The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign
exchange forward and options contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations
arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange and
option contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the
reporting period are as follows:
The Group is mainly exposed to US Dollar and EURO currencies. The following table details the group’s sensitivity to a
5% increase and decrease against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign
currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably
possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency
denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a
currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower. A negative number below indicates a decrease
in profit or equity where the Indian Rupee strengthens by 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the
Indian Rupee against the relevant currency, there would be a opposite impact on the profit or equity.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is not a complete reflection of the inherent foreign exchange risk considering the
fact that the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the
risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank
or a financial institution. It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover specific
foreign currency payments and receipts within a specific range. The Group also enters into forward foreign exchange
contracts to manage the risk associated with anticipated sales and purchase transactions ranging from 6 months to one
year by covering a specific range of exposure generated. Adjustments are made to the initial carrying amount of non-
financial hedged items when the anticipated sale or purchase transaction takes place.
The foreign exchange forward and options contracts mature within 12 months. The table below analyses the derivative
financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as of the Balance Sheet date:

The Group has designated foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign
exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash
flow hedge reserve are expected to occur and reclassified to the Statement of Profit and loss within 3-12 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective
effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging
instruments, including whether the hedging instruments is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains
unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by
adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns
with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or
loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve for the year ended 31 March 2022 is as follows:
Particulars As at As at
31 March 2022 31 March 2021
Balance at the beginning of the year 132 (184)
Gain/loss recognised in other comprehensive income during the year (net of tax) (132) 309
Acquisition of non-controlling interests - 7
Balance at the end of the year - 132
The Group adopts appropriate policies to ensure that the interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate. This is achieved
partly by entering into fixed-rate instruments and partly by borrowing at a floating rate.
If interest rate had been 50 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit
for the year ended 31 March 2022 would decrease / increase by ` 388 Lakhs (` 331 Lakhs). This is mainly attributable to
the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowing.
The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic
rather than trading purposes. The Group doesn’t actively trade these investments.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the
reporting period.
If the fair value had been 1% higher / lower, profit for the year ended 31 March 2022 would increase / decrease by
` 45 lakhs (31 March 2021: ` 45 lakhs) as a result of the changes in fair value of equity investments which have been
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, investments carried at cost and deposits with banks and
financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables. The carrying amounts
of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
The Group’s trade and other receivables consists of a large number of customers, across geographies, hence the Group
is not exposed to concentration risk.
48.7.1 Expected credit loss for investments, loans and security deposits
The estimated gross carrying amount of default is Nil (31 March 2021: Nil) for investments, loans and deposits.
Consequently there are no expected credit loss recognised for these financial assets. The credit risk on derivative
financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings.
48.7.2 Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
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 based on: a) Past trend of
outstanding receivables over a rolling period of past 24 months and b) actual amount of outstanding receivables as on
the reporting date.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the respective board of directors, which has established
an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the respective company’s short-term,
medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast
and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity with agreed repayment periods. The below
information has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date
on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that
interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate at the end of the reporting period.
The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest
payments as at 31 March 2022
