Financial Performance
The Financial Year (FY) 2021-22 remained a highly volatile and challenging year for the entire world economy as the world witnessed the
severe second wave of COVID-19 owing to widespread lockdowns across the globe induced by the deadly second wave followed by a third
wave though its intensity was not that grave and ended with rising geo-political tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
The Indian Automobile Industry also witnessed some volatility at the beginning of FY 2021-22 as the domestic economic growth was
temporarily dented in by the second wave of COVID-19. This combined with continuing supply chain disruptions, escalating geo-political
trade tensions, mounting oil and commodity prices and inflationary pressures and overall volatility that came as a storm which consequently
dragged the growth prospects of economy as whole. However, widening reach of vaccines, pent up demand and timely fiscal and monetary
policy measures helped the Indian economy to withstand the challenges and there was a strong bounce back in economic activity.
Despite the overall volatility, your company effectively managed to perform well during the year under review with improved capacity
utilization and recorded significant growth in sales volume.
Amidst this scenario, the total income for the year under review increased by 102.35% to Rs. 35729.80 million as compared to
Rs. 17657.33 million in FY 2020-21.
In terms of number of wheels, the Company has achieved sale of 17.89 million wheel rims during the FY 2021-22 against sale of
13.36 million wheel rims during the FY 2020-21, showing an increase of 33.91%.
The Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Tax (EBIDTA) increased by 111.66 % to Rs. 4658.09 million in FY 2021-22 from
Rs. 2200.72 million in FY 2020-21.
The Depreciation and other amortization have increased to Rs. 768.70 million in FY 2021-22 from Rs. 723.11 million in FY 2020-21.
Profit before tax during the year under review has increased to Rs. 3035.18 million from Rs. 638.29 million in FY 2020-21 recording an
increase of 375.51%. The profit after tax (before comprehensive income) have also increased to Rs. 2054.64 million from Rs. 492.50 million,

The Indian economy grew 8.7% in FY 2021-22, with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanding 4.1% in the March quarter from a
year ago. The GDP growth for FY 2021-22 takes the economy above its pre-pandemic level and is an improvement after contracting
6.6% in FY 2020-21. But the January-March quarter expansion was the weakest in the previous fiscal year. It is lesser than the
5.4% growth seen during the December quarter of FY 2021-22. At the same time, the 4.1% growth in March quarter of FY 2021-22
is an expansion over the meagre 1.6% growth seen during the fourth quarter of FY 2020-21.
Strong Comeback post COVID Shock for Automobile Sector
Impacted by supply-side challenges, total automobile dispatches during the last financial year fell 6% in all segments, dragged down
by lower sales of two-wheelers and entry-level cars amid rising vehicle and fuel costs. As per the data released by the SIAM, two-
wheeler sales fell by 11% to 1,34,66,412 units with scooter sales falling 10.55% to 40,09,076 units and motorcycle sales dropping
10.30% to 89,84,186 units. In March, the two-wheeler sales nosedived 21% to 11,84,210 units as motorcycle and scooter sales
declined by 21% each to 7,86,479 units and 3,60,082 units, respectively. During the year, passenger vehicle sales during FY 2021-
22 stood at 30,69,499 units, up 13.20% from 27,11,457 units a year ago, mainly driven by a 40% growth in sales of utility vehicles.
The Commercial Vehicles sales for the last year grew 26% to 7,16,566 units, while three-wheeler sales were up almost 19% to
2,60,995 units.
In April 2021 to March 2022, Passenger Vehicle Exports increased from 404,397 to 577,875 units, Commercial Vehicle Exports
increased from 50,334 to 92,297 units, Three Wheeler Exports increased from 393,001 to 499,730 units and Two Wheelers Exports
increased from 3,282,786 to 4,443,018 units in April 2021 to March 2022 over same period last year.
The year saw huge volatility in manufacturing due to supply side bottlenecks and the momentum for the next year seems solid on
the back of good order book along with order backlogs.
Automobile Sector Recovery post Covid has been solid and was backed by pent up demand. The below table indicates strong
momentum for many segment of automobiles to maintain growth momentum and reach very close to pre Covid peaks.
Total Vehicle Sales Trends
Domestic Trends are very encouraging and we expect the momentum to carry in FY 2022-23 to post stronger growth for all segment
of vehicles. PV segment seems to outperform and may surpass the all-time highs in FY 2022-23 backed by very strong consumer
demand.
63
Sswl Key Growth Drivers Post Covid
Post COVID, SSWL worked extensively on China plus one philosophy and marked many global territories to record highest ever
exports revenue for the company. SSWL went on aggressive development plan to further push for global market share in Steel
& Aluminum wheel industry to make this shift permanent. The exports went up around 3X in FY 2021-22 with larger mind space
captured by SSWL in FY 2021-22. We expect with entry of alloy wheel exports we will be able to continue this journey in coming
years. SSWL reports highest ever Alloy wheel segment sales in FY 2021-22 with the help of strong customer belief in SSWL
development capabilities. We expect to work closely with customers and ensure strong growth momentum in coming years for alloy
wheel segment.
SSWL expects to maintain double digit revenue growth with its focus on all segments of automobiles in FY 2022-23. The Company
is committed towards reduction of long term liabilities with the help of consistent double digit EBIDTA margins. Company is keeping
strong focus on ROC and other return ratios to ensure financial matrix improvement.
Industry Outlook
The Automobile sector is expected to a very strong growth in FY 2022-23 on a weaker base and very strong consumer demand
in all segments. Post Covid there is a strong pent-up demand in all segments and we expect the industry to maintain very strong
volume growth.
We expect PV segment to report more than 12% Growth in FY 2022-23 with order back log supporting the demand. Supply chain
bottlenecks will remain most important factors for manufacturing.
Commercial vehicle segment is expected to grow more than 15-18% in FY 2022-23 with very strong government infrastructure
spend and base line capex returning for the sector. The sector still remains well below FY 2018-19 peak performance but slowly
gathering pace to catchup some lost ground.
2 & 3 wheelers are bearing strong demand slowdown current for past few years with cost of ownership increasing every year. The
industry has reached almost a decade low for the segment and we expect the industry will try to stabilize around the current output
levels and will turn the corner for better perspective in FY 2022-23. We expect the industry to report in 5-7% volume growth in
FY 2022-23. Stronger farm income and normalcy in rains will also help to attain the growth.
Export Outlook
Exports again remain robust and it seems that India is catching up with the world with the help of Make in India initiative catching
strong undercurrent.
Export Sales Trends
We expect Indian automobile makers making all attempts to improve global market share and continue to gain momentum for higher
exports in FY 2022-23. Major thrust is being put on developing the alloy wheel segment export market and ensure it sails the similar
journey in line with Steel Wheels.
Opportunities
SSWL is looking to expand its presence in alloy wheel with global passenger car segment customer. In view of that we are expanding
the capacities also to cater the global demand. Globally Alloy wheel is very popular with more than 80 % wheel penetration. It gives
huge export opportunity to SSWL to imitate the steel wheel exports story. As an organization we are focusing on developing this
segment of market to become globally competitive and take market share. This segment of business has huge potential towards
value addition and bringing foreign exchange to the country. This remains top priority for SSWL to grow its alloy wheel presence in
coming 2-3 years.
Threats
The global economy is going through a rough patch with huge surge in commodity prices bringing in a log of Inflation in developed
world. This poses a larger risk for the global economy which may have its impact on Consumer demand due to decades high
64
STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
Inflation. The global economic turmoil can pose a threat to Indian growth dynamics and can hit consumer sentiment. This can be a
probable threat for automotive market sentiment also.
Financial Performance with respect to Operational Performance
In FY 2021-22 Company achieved the highest ever topline as well bottom-line in its history. Revenue from operations stood at
Rs. 3559.95 crores in FY 2021-22 as compared to Rs. 1749.42 crores in FY 2020-21. The company witnessed growth across
all the segments it is operating in and outperformed the overall industry in terms of annual growth rate. The two key drivers for
the Company in FY 2021-22 were Exports which grew by 203% with overall Exports reaching the best ever figure of Rs. 829.00
crores and alloy wheels which grew by almost 109% to reach Rs. 704.00 crores for the year. The PAT for FY 2021-22 stood at
Rs. 205.46 crores vs Rs. 49.25 crores in FY 2020-21. Considering the stellar growth in PAT as well as cash accruals the Company
prepaid Rs. 122.00 crores of its term liability in FY 2021-22 and remain focused on optimally utilizing the accruals going forward
keeping the overall goal of deleveraging as well as maximizing Return on Capital. Further Company is working aggressively on
keeping the overall sales mix tilted towards EBITDA accretive businesses like Alloy Wheels and Exports.
Risk & Outlook
Steel & Aluminum is the primary raw material for the products of the company, and is a very significant part of the final product cost
of Steel & aluminum wheel. Rising steel & aluminum prices continue to be a reality and pose a challenge to inventory and financial
management for the company in this competitive auto component sector.
Factor of global growth has become a key linkage between economies and the consumer sentiment. Global growth is still limping
on weak wicket and manufacturing output is still shrinking for a large part of the globe. The world economies are making a base
after financial crisis and will keep the growth parameters for company in check as the cross border trade is suffering due to low
consumption. We are constantly de-risking ourselves by broadening our product reach and extending our reach to across the globe
to avoid geographical slowdown risk.
Top customer concentration is a risk as above 75% of revenues come from domestic market customers and company is increasing
its foot print in Export markets by catering to wide ranges of segment and customers. Company has ventured into alloy wheel
segment to improve the product category to de-risk itself from being only in steel wheel segment. Company is also moving ahead on
Alloy wheel market development to further de-risk the steel wheel dependency from Domestic and export customers.
Foreign currency movement also poses the risk towards the corporate performance as global currencies swings are extreme due
to various macro issues persisting in current environment. This may act as a headwind for some time to come till situation becomes
normal and volatility among global currency recedes to normalized levels. The Company is working aggressively to build larger
export to hedge the import currency risk.
To mitigate the risk, the Company continues to strive to improve its operational performance and develop new components, which
are technologically superior and have an edge over the competitors.

STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S
To The Members of
Steel Strips Wheels Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
1. Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Steel Strips Wheels Limited (“the Company”), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2022, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash
Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state
of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2022, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity
for the year ended on that date.
2. Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit
of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code
of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
3. Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have
determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
4. Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
• The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
• Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
• If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
5. Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of
the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
69
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
6. Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal 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.
7. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
Notes on Financial Statement for the year ended 31st March 2022.
1) CORPORATE INFORMATION
Steel Strips Wheels Limited (the Company) is a public limited Company registered in India under the Companies Act 2013 (Erstwhile
Companies Act 1956). Its Shares are listed on both Bombay stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. The Company is a leading
manufacturer of Automotive Wheel rims.
These financial statements were approved and adopted by company’s board of directors in its meeting held on 13th May 2022.
2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1) BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) notified under
section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act)(to the extent notified), read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.
Effective April 1, 2016, the company has adopted all the Ind As standards and the adoption was carried out in accordance with
Ind AS 101, “First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, with April 1, 2015 as the transition date. The transition was
carried out from Indian Accounting Principles generally accepted in India as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and except for the changes in accounting policy
discussed more fully below, are consistent with those used in the previous year.
1.2 Basis of measurement
The Standalone financial statements have been prepared under the historical convention, on the accrual basis of accounting
except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.
1.3 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
2) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
A. SALE OF GOODS
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the
buyer of goods as per the terms of contracts, the Company retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually
associated with the ownership and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived
from the sale of goods. The Company collects GST on the behalf of the Government and therefore these are not economic benefits
flowing to the company. Hence they are excluded from Revenue.
Further Revenue is measured by the Company at the fair value of the consideration received/receivable from its customers and
in determining the transaction price for the sale of finished goods, the Company considers the effect of various factors such as
price differences and volume-based discounts, rebates and other promotion incentive schemes (“trade schemes”) provided to the
customers. Adequate provisions have been made for such price differences and trade schemes with a corresponding impact on
the revenue. Accordingly, revenue for the current year is net price differences, trade schemes, rebates, discounts, etc.
B. INTEREST INCOME
Interest income from a financial instrument is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company
and the amount of income can be measured reliably using EIR method. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross
carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash
flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
C. OTHER INCOME
(i) Dividend Income is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders
approve the dividend.
(ii) Revenue in respect of claims is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists with regard to the amount to be realized
and the ultimate collection thereof.
D. Duty drawback and export incentives
Income from duty drawback and export incentives is recognized on accrual basis.
3) Leasing
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116-Leases effective 1st April, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has
applied the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognized on the date of initial application (1st April, 2019). Accordingly,
previous period information has not been restated.
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for Land and Buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract is
or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
79
Notes on Financial Statement for the year ended 31st March 2022.
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of
an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease
liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short term leases)
and leases of low value assets. For these short term and leases of low value assets, the Company recognizes the lease payments
as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated
from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The
lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using
the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. The lease liability is
subsequently re-measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount
to reflect the lease payments made. A lease liability is re-measured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in
the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The re-measurement normally also adjusts the
leased assets.
4) ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES ON INCOME
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax
authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where
the company operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at
the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the
current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all
deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against
future taxable profits.
At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it
becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
MAT credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income
tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as
an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,
the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews
the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer
convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.
5) IMPAIRMENT OF NON FINANCIAL ASSETS
A. At each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested based on internal/external factors, for impairment so as to
determine:
(i) The provision for impairment loss, if any; and
(ii) The reversal of impairment loss recognized in previous periods, if any,
B. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is
determined:
(i) In the case of an individual asset, higher of the net selling price and the value in use.
(ii) In the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of the
cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.
(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value at the
weighted average cost of Capital, from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life).
Post impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life.

STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
Notes on Financial Statement for the year ended 31st March 2022.
6) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents balances include cash in hand, fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks,
other bank balances such as dividend accounts, which have restrictions on repatriation, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in
value.
7) INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The cost in respect of the various items of inventory is
computed as under:
a) In case of raw materials at weighted average cost plus direct expenses. The cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
b) In case of stores and spares at weighted average cost plus direct expenses. The cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
c) In case of work in progress at raw material cost plus conversion costs depending upon the stage of completion.
d) In case of finished goods at raw material cost plus conversion costs, packing cost, excise duty (if applicable) and other overheads
incurred to bring the goods to their present location and condition.
8) Financial Instrument
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
On initial recognition, all the financial assets and liabilities are recognized at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset
or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the
financial asset or financial liability except trade receivables which are recognized at transaction price.
Subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized 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.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
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.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or
loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables
maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange 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.
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.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized 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 statement of profit and loss. 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.
Equity Share Capital
(i) Equity shares
Equity shares issued by the Company are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary
shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
De-recognition of financial instruments
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial
81
asset and the transfer qualifies for Derecognition under Ind-AS 109. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in
the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is determined using the valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for
which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs.
Based on the three level fair value hierarchies, the methods used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities include
quoted market price, discounted cash flow analysis and valuation certified by the external valuer.
In case of financial instruments where the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments,
carrying amount is considered as fair value.
9) Property, plant and equipment(PPE)
Fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credit availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment
and those which have been revaluated are stated at the values determined by the valuers less accumulated depreciation and cumulative
impairment. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of freight and other incidental expenses and interest on loan taken for the acquisition of
qualifying assets up to the date of commissioning of assets.
Subsequent expenditure related to PPE is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will
flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day to day
repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during
which such expenses are incurred.
Gain or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposable proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
The exchange differences arising on reporting of long term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
depreciable capital asset, have been added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and shall be depreciated over the balance useful
life of the asset.
Die Tooling, developed in-house, includes cost of material and other direct/ incidental expense on in-house development.
Tangible Assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work in progress”.
Transition to Ind AS
For transition to Ind AS, The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its PPE recognized as of 01 April, 2016
(transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
10) DEPRECIATION / AMORTIZATION ON TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over useful life. The depreciable amount of an asset is
the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
A. OWNED ASSETS
(i) Pursuant to applicability of Schedule II, of Companies Act 2013, with effect from 1st April 2014, Management has reassessed
the useful life of tangible assets based on the internal and external technical evaluation. The Depreciation on fixed assets is
provided on straight line method in accordance with applicable Schedule of the Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) Depreciation for addition to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated on pro-rata basis from the date of such addition or,
as the case may be, up to the date on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.
(iii) Residual values of assets have been considered at 5% of the original cost of the assets.
(iv) Difference of Exchange Rate fluctuation on imported plant and machineries procured out of long term foreign currency loans
is amortized over the residual life of relevant plant and machineries.
(v) Depreciation on assets carried at carrying amount as on 01.04.2014 and is depreciated as per Straight line method over the
remaining useful life of the assets. Further the assets whose remaining useful life are nil, has been recognized in the opening
balance of retained earnings. Refer the same as transitional provision
(vi) The depreciation calculation is based on the balance useful lives of assets and shift working. Depreciation on assets used
on double shift basis have been increase by 50% for that period and Depreciation on assets used in triple shift basis have be
calculated on the basis of 100% for that period, Except for assets in respect of which no extra shift depreciation is permitted
(indicated by NESD in Part C of the schedule).
(vii) Management has reassessed the useful life of plant and machineries based on the internal and external technical evaluation
which is higher than useful life prescribed under the act. The reassessed useful life is tabulated as:
Location Useful Life as per Average useful life Balance Avg. useful Life as on
Act (in Years) (in years) 01/04/2014
Dappar 15.00 23.85 17.11
Chennai 15.00 23.29 19.72
JSR 15.00 24.96 23.17
Seraikella 15.00 15.00 15.00

STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
B. LEASED ASSETS
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 effective 1st April, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has applied
the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognized on the date of initial application (1st April, 2019). Accordingly,
previous period information has not been restated.
In the statement of profit and loss for the current year, operating lease expenses which were recognized as other expenses in
previous periods is now recognized as depreciation expense for the right-of-use asset and finance cost for interest accrued on
lease liability. The adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the profit for the year and earnings per share.
11) INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION
Intangible assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credit availed, if any, less accumulated amortization and cumulative
impairment. Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits are attributable to the asset will flow
to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life. The
estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on number of factors including the effects of obsolescence etc.
Intangible Assets not ready for the intended use on the date of balance sheet are disclosed as “intangible assets under development”
12) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as
transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn
down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other income or
finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting period.
13) BORROWING COST
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized/ inventorized
as part of cost of such assets till such time the asset is ready for its intended use/or sale. Qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
14) Provision
Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a 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 recognized 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 recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured
reliably.
15) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed 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 part events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be
measured reliably.
16) Employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end
of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the
reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as
current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Provident Fund & Employee State Insurance
Contribution towards provident fund and employee state insurance for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the
Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any
further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.
83
Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in accordance with the
Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation
or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan
in Company is funded through annual contributions to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) under its Company’s Gratuity Scheme
whereas others are not funded. The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company’s liability
is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit
obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement
gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity
and in the balance sheet. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Compensated Absences
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end
are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating
compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end
are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit
method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes
in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognized immediately
in profit or loss.
17) Share-based payment arrangements
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with
a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity
instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit and
loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity settled share option
outstanding account. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair
value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured
at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the
service. For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognized for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the
fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the
liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the year.
18) TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
A) Functional and Presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (rounded off
to lakhs).
B) Transaction and balances
The foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency
amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
The foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate at the end of each reporting period. Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency shall be translated using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates
different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements shall
be recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Foreign exchange differences recorded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss,
within finance cost. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on net basis.
19) SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker “CODM” of
the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment. The Company
has monthly review and forecasting procedure in place and CODM reviews the operations of the Company as a whole.
20) EARNING PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
attributable taxes and dividend on cumulative preference shares for the year) by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled
to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for event of bonus issue/right issue etc; bonus element in a rights issue to existing
shareholders; share split; and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
84
STEEL STRIPS WHEELS LIMITED
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
21) Operating cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization 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.
22) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and
judgments which have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statement:
a) CONTINGENCIES
Judgment of the Management is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/
litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
b) ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ADVANCES
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated
irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectible. Impairment is
made on ECL, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
c) DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined
using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in
future. These includes the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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.
d) 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 Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model.
The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment
is required in establishing fair values. Judgments 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.

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 Business Risk Management committee that advises on financial
risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. This Business Risk Management committee provides
assurance to the Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and
procedure and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each risk, which are summarised as below:
Market risk
a) Price Risk
Fluctuation in commodity price in global market affects directly and indirectly the price of raw material and components used by the Company
in its products. The key raw material for the Company’s business is HR Steel and Aluminium ingot. The Company has arrangements with
its major customers for passing on the price impact. The Company is also regularly taking initiatives like VA VE (value addition, value
engineering) to reduce its raw material costs to meet targets set up by its customers for cost downs.
b) Interest rate risk
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 long term debt
obligations with floating interest rates. The Company is carrying its borrowings primarily at variable rate.

d) Credit risk
The 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 towards the Company and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and deposits with
banking institutions. The maximum amount of the credit exposure is equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables.
The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. The Company’s primary customers
are major Indian automobile manufacturers (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Non-OEM clientsare subjected to credit assessments as
a precautionary measure, and the adherence of all clients to paymentdue dates is monitored on an on-going basis, thereby practically
eliminating the risk of default. The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. Primary banking institutions are
major Indian and foreign banks. In long term credit ratings these banking institutions are considered to be investment grade. Also, no
impairment loss has been recorded in respect of fixed deposits that are with recognised commercial banks and are not past due
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk encompasses any risk that the Company cannot fully meet its financial obligations. To manage the liquidity risk, cash flow
forecasting is performed in the operating divisions of the Company and aggregated by Company finance. The Company’s finance monitors
rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining
sufficient headroom in its undrawn committed borrowing facilities / overdraft facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach
borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
