Global economy turned out to be stronger than expected in Financial ear 2023-24. As central banks
across the globe continued to guide inflation towards pre-pandemic levels, economic activity grew
steadily, defying warnings of stagflation and global recession. Major economies were able to support
aggregate demand through expansionary budgetary spending and rising private consumption.
Moderation in energy and commodity prices were able to support the nascent recovery of private
capex.
The Indian economy has showed resilience and emerged as the fastest growing major economy,
with GDP growth rate of 7.6%1 for F 2023-24. Core industry output has reported a growth in F
2023-24 driven by higher output of coal, cement, steel, and power sectors. The ratio of real Gross
Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) as percentage of GDP rose to 34.9% in F 2023-241, driving the
growth of the capital goods sector.
Infrastructure development continues to be a focus area for the government with multiple projects
being executed under the initiatives – PM Gati Shakti and the National Infrastructure Pipeline.
Development of access-controlled expressways, Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) and Multi-
modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) will significantly reduce the cost of logistics and improve the
competitiveness of Indian products in global markets.
Manufacturing sector has emerged as one of the key drivers of economic growth in F 2023-24.
India is emerging as a preferred destination for organizations looking to diversify their supply chains
and align them with shifts in global trade and geopolitics. Efforts by government and industry partners
to develop domestic capabilities across the value chain in sunrise sectors like semiconductors,
defence, and electric vehicles will increase the share of manufacturing sector in the overall GDP.
Hydrogen, as a fuel, offers immense potential to decarbonize sectors like steel, refining and
transportation. The Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme, with
an outlay of 17,490 crore2, seeks to establish the hydrogen ecosystem in India by offering fiscal
incentives for production of Green Hydrogen and manufacturing of electrolyzers. With favourable
policies and improving investment climate India, will continue to attract investments in low carbon
technologies.
The growth prospects face headwinds from rising geopolitical conflicts and disruption to trade and
energy flows. While business sentiments have improved marginally in developed economies, inflation
continues to be stubborn delaying prospects of economic revival. Increasing trade protectionism is
altering flows of capital as countries look to pursue self-sufficiency and economic security.

Addressing the social, civic and environmental issues, your Company made significant contributions
in Financial ear 2023-24 with projects on Education, Rural Development, Watershed Management,
Afforestation, Solid Waste Management, Scholarship Program, Cummins Powers Women and Monsoon
Resilient Maharashtra. Following are the details of some of these key projects:
Nurturing Brilliance: In 2006, Cummins India Foundation (CIF) initiated the ‘Cummins Scholarship:
Nurturing Brilliance’ for meritorious students from financially and socially disadvantaged backgrounds
to pursue professional degree and diploma (in Engineering) courses. Cummins provides mentoring to
selected students by senior Cummins employees who mentor students throughout the entire duration
of the course. Additionally, Cummins facilitates improving of students’ soft skills by providing students
with e-learning soft skills module. During F 2023-24, the Company supported 229 students under this
program. Additionally, this year your Company expanded the program to aspirational districts in India-
Vidisha, Guna in Madhya Pradesh, Ranchi in harkhand, and Dharashiv in Maharashtra.
Technical Education for Communities (TEC) is Cummins global initiative that aims at bridging the
technical skills gap (between training provided by educational partner and local industry requirements)
through local vocational education programs. It delivers a standardized education platform to help
education partners develop market relevant curriculum, train teachers, provide career guidance and
secure on-the-job learning opportunities for students. Cummins TEC focuses on enhancing the
employability of the students. In F 2023-24, total number of 544 students were trained at two TEC sites
in India (Phaltan and olhapur SMA ).
Cummins College of Engineering for Women (CCEW) was conceptualized and launched in 1991
in Pune with financial support of Cummins India Foundation in partnership with Maharshi arve Stree
Shikshan Samstha. In 2010, CCEW was launched in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The objective is to support
CCEW to be a globally renowned institute for imparting quality education and to develop women leaders
in engineering and technology. The support provided to CCEW is across the three pillars of infrastructure
development, student development and faculty development. Cummins’ senior executives are also
deeply involved in this signature project, frequently interacting with the staff and students. With support
from Cummins, CCEW Pune has received NAAC ‘A’ accreditation and CCEW Nagpur has received
NAAC ‘B’ accreditation. In F 2023-24, more than 750 girls benefitted from the support.
Organic Waste Management: Building year-round initiatives from successful programs on festival waste
processing - Our Nirmalya and Patravali programs over multiple years addressed the waste generated
during two major festivals that took place every year in the state of Maharashtra. The Nirmalya project
is a multi-dimensional, multi-stakeholder level project that involves months of planning, logistics and
coordination during the annual Ganesh festival. Cummins helped Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to
establish decentralized Nirmalya segregation collection process and centralized unit for composting.
Cummins has also established value chain for organic compost generated from Nirmalya benefiting to
marginalized farmers PMC Gardens across the city. In F 2023-24, more than 2 Lac citizens were
made aware, 236 Tons of Nirmalya was converted into organic compost. Implementation partners
supported by Cummins created awareness in 30 immersion ghats where more than 50,000 Ganesh idols
got immersed at home.
Z ero Waste Slum Project: The project aims at strengthening the existing waste management system
and make the communities zero waste communities. The approach of the project is based on pillars
like, awareness regarding segregation of waste at source, collection of waste scientific disposal of
the waste and change in mind set to keep the surrounding clean healthy. With continuous focus on
monitoring implementing health safety measures for waste pickers with our intervention through
different initiatives, door to door coverage maintained at 7% and 5 major chronic spots in the area have
been eliminated. Cummins work with NGO partners with focus on community participation to take the
responsibility to make keep the community clean healthy to live impacting more than 4,000 residents
from the low-income community.
Afforestation: Rapid urbanization has resulted into vastly depleting green cover for the city. With
growing demands of residential and commercial spaces, the green localities are now being converted
Water Neutrality: India is grappling with severe water stress, with 54% its boundary experiencing high to
extremely high levels of water stress. The impacts of climate change, manifested in erratic rainfall patterns
and the heat island effect, further exacerbate this situation. Urbanization also plays a significant role in
intensifying water stress by placing strain on infrastructure and depleting both surface and groundwater
resources. The rapid expansion of urban areas has also led to extensive deforestation, resulting in
soil erosion and the siltation of water bodies, thereby diminishing their storage capacities. Therefore,
integrated water management has become a pivotal aspect of Cummins’ Energy and Environment
Initiatives in India. These initiatives adopt a scientific approach, incorporating elements of hydrogeology,
local topography, biodiversity, and addressing local needs and challenges to formulate sustainable, long-
term strategies. ey focus includes enhancing storage capacity, promoting water conservation, mitigating
water pollution, and raising awareness while supporting biodiversity conservation efforts. In F 2023-24,
1 new pond was created at a site in Pune, and a new open well was dug at an educational campus in
Pune. Approximately 1.4 km of stretch was desilted at hadakwasla Dam. In F 2023-24, more than 900
Mn Gallons of water was conserved through the desilting and storage efforts.
Clean technology: Globally we are experiencing warmer temperatures, changing weather patterns which
is disturbing the usual pattern of the nature. There is a need for products and services which are ‘clean’ to
reduce or optimize the use of natural resources, as well as reduce the negative effect on the planet. With
the aim to building healthier, cleaner, resilient, and sustainable communities, Cummins supports tech-
based solutions which are innovative, are towards protecting and enhancing the environment. We partner
with incubation centres in India to support early-stage start-ups in the space of energy and environment
by providing initial funding. This program was initiated in F 2020-21 and in F 2023-24 has supported
3 start-ups in the space of water pollution and wastewater treatment, circular economy, sustainable
mobility, clean energy, etc.
Equality of Opportunity
Local Community Care with its comprehensive approach towards serving the underprivileged and
marginalized, Cummins has collaborated with organizations focused on disadvantaged sections of
society such as the visually impaired, hearing impaired, elderly residents, orphaned children, tribal girls,
and more. These collaborations aim to enhance the infrastructure and safety standards of NGO premises
through activities like building construction and repair, upgrading facilities such as kitchens, toilets, and
dormitories, conducting safety audits, ensuring proper electrical fittings, and implementing cost-saving
measures like installing solar power units and establishing kitchen gardens.
During the F 2023-24, Cummins extended its support to four NGOs, benefiting a total of 404 direct
beneficiaries. The primary focus of this year’s initiatives has been on leveraging assistive technology
and incorporating digital solutions. As part of this effort, a pilot project introducing AI-powered smart
glasses was implemented in an institution supporting visually impaired girls. These smart glasses enable
Rural Dev elopment: Cummins commitment towards holistic rural development has touched the lives of
people in 17 villages in 2023. The program was expanded to the aspirational district of Nandurbar. This
program has benefitted more than 3 ,000 lives in rural areas.
As part of the water conservation initiatives in the villages, more than 300 Mn Gallons of water has
been conserved through check dams, desilted of natural water streams, ponds and percolation tanks. To
provide access to clean and safe drinking water, Cummins installed 4 units of water purification plants
and water ATMs. Water ATMs being run and maintained by women Self Help Groups have provided
additional income opportunity to 40 women in villages.
Cummins continued support for improving school infrastructure in villages. More than 12 schools in
model villages are being upgraded with Cummins support serving more than 2,400 students every year.
EmpowHer is an initiative for financial inclusion and independence of women in model villages. Under
this program, we launched the initiative “Udgam” at Phaltan Megasite, which aims at creating awareness
about sanitary hygiene, usage of sanitary napkins and enabling entrepreneurship by setting sanitary
pads production machine to produce eco-friendly napkin at lower cost. This successful model has been
replicated other plant locations. Cummins teams actively support and monitor these projects to ensure
ongoing enhancements in production quality, safety, and marketing strategies.
In continuation of these efforts, newer initiatives under EmpowHer have been initiated creating
opportunities for alternative livelihood and income generation options for women in rural areas. 1 1 new
women’s self-help groups have been formed and provided with entrepreneurship training in various fields
such as tailoring, papad and roti making, chick incubation centers, kitchen gardening, poultry farming,
among others. These initiatives have positively impacted over 2,000 women. Furthermore, the initiative
has been extended to the aspirational district of Nandurbar.
Strategic Projects
Monsoon Resilient Maharashtra ( MRM) started with the vision to address the scarcity of water in
Maharashtra, making communities less dependent on Monsoon and resilient to the vagaries thereof.
MRM is a unique model of watershed development which incorporates hydrogeological studies along
with GIS mapping to identify high impact areas for treatment. To ensure sustainability of the project,
MRM focuses on participation and capacity building of the community. To take the project to scale,
collaborations with stakeholders is an essential component of the project. In F 2023-24, MRM was
expanded to a new extremely drought prone region and aspirational district of Dharashiv in Maharashtra.
Under demand side more than 360 farmers were supported to help improve their income. Improved
productivity of more than 30 acres of waste land. More than 100+ women farmers supported to aide
increase income through improved allied activities. Around 100 extremely poor household supported
through goat rearing and poultry units.
Cleaner Air Better Life (CABL) is a collaborative platform where industry, entrepreneurs, governments
and civic society can work together for addressing sources of air pollution. Multi-stakeholder engagements
were undertaken through the year 2017-1 under the four task forces constituted by Cummins and
NITI Aayog in une 2017 (under Cleaner Air Better Life Initiative). Accordingly, action plans have been
designed under this initiative to address identified sources of air pollution with a mission to improve
air quality and therefore contribute to better quality of life across urban and rural India. In F 2023-24
Cleaner Air Better Life continued its expansion in both urban initiatives and crop residue management
while expanding its reach to 216 villages in the state of Punjab and Haryana covering around more
Cummins Powers Women: Cummins Powers Women partners with a network of global nonprofit
organizations that have existing, outcome-based programs focused on areas where significant barriers
exist to the advancement of girls and women. Cummins’ investment supports a range of effective
programs, including grassroots teaching and mentoring, financial stability through entrepreneurship,
leadership training and strategic guidance to non-profit leaders. The program was initiated in India since
2019 and three gender equity initiatives were launched with our global non-profit partner, Rise Up.
Phaltan Town Dev elopment project was conceived with a vision to make Phaltan the best town to
live and work in its category and size in India. The interventions in Phaltan are organized under three
overarching categories aimed at developing the town into a ‘Clean, Green, and Smart’ urban town. The
initiatives under clean town focus on solid waste and sanitation facility improvements in the town, the
work under green town focuses on creating green lungs and green spots within the town and the work
under smart town focuses on smart infrastructure for the town and schools. Along with this, the focus is
also on improving the public infrastructure of the town like roads, internal lanes, bus stops, markets, etc.
The town has witnessed a substantial enhancement in cleanliness and sanitation facilities, reflected
in the notable improvement of the Swachh Sarvekshan ranking from 264 to 29 and Mazi Vasundhara
from 9 to 24. Efforts to divert 1,369 tons of waste annually from landfills and integrate 40 informal
sector workers have led to a significant expansion of street sweeping and waste collection services,
now covering ,250 households. Civil infrastructure upgrade was done in three municipal schools have
benefited 400+ students, encompassing safety walls, improved floors, playgrounds, and enhanced toilet
facilities. Smart school initiatives, including digital infrastructure like smart TVs, screens, and CCTV
camera installations, have been implemented, benefiting 600+ students across four municipal schools
and establishing a reading plaza. The completion of landscape and infrastructure maintenance for a

Information” and the ISAE 3410 “Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements” both issued by
the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (collectively referred to as “the Standards”). These

information in the audited standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31,
2024 and the underlying trial balance.
Evaluated the reasonableness and appropriateness of significant estimates and judgments made by the
Management in the preparation of the Identified Sustainable Information.

Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of
Cash Flow for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material

2. 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and
total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), changes in equity
and its cash flow for the year then ended.
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the “Auditor’s
Responsibilities 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 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
K ey audit matters
4. ey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.

Other Information
5. 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 in the 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.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with gov ernance for the Standalone Financial
Statements
6. 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, changes in equity and cash flow of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting
records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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
7. 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.
. 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.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with
reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (“the Order”), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Act, we give in the Annexure B a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.
(a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge
and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

as it appears from our examination of those books except for the matters stated in paragraph 14(h)
(vi) below on reporting under Rule 11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as
amended) (“the Rules”).
(c) The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flow dealt with by this Report are in
agreement with the books of account.
(d) In our opinion, the aforesaid standalone financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act.
(e) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on March 31, 2024, taken
on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2024, from
being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of the Act.
(f) With respect to the maintenance of accounts and other matters connected therewith, reference is
made to our remarks in paragraph 14(b) above on reporting under Section 143(3)(b) and paragraph
14(h)(vi) below on reporting under Rule 11(g) of the Rules.
(g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements of the Company and the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate
Report in “Annexure A”.
(h) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor’s Report in accordance with Rule 11
of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in our opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us:

there were any material foreseeable losses.

Education and Protection Fund by the Company during the year.

or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other persons or
entities, including foreign entities (“Intermediaries”), with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall, whether, directly or indirectly,
lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on
behalf of the Company (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the
like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
(b) The management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds
have been received by the Company from any persons or entities, including foreign
entities (“Funding Parties”), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or
otherwise, that the Company shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other
persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding
Party (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of
the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and
(c) Based on such audit procedures that we considered reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the
representations under sub-clause (a) and (b) contain any material misstatement.
v. The dividend declared and paid during the year by the Company is in compliance with Section
123 of the Act.
vi. Based on our examination, which included test checks, the Company has used accounting
software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit
log) facility. However, the audit trail feature did not operate throughout the year. Accordingly,
the question of our commenting on whether the audit trail was tampered with, does not arise.
15. The Company has paid/ provided for managerial remuneration in accordance with the requisite approvals
mandated by the provisions of Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements under
clause ( i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements
of Cummins India Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting (“the Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of
its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention
and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’ s Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the
Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal
financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements was
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system with reference to standalone financial statements and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements
included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system with reference to standalone
financial statements.
6. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation
of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system
with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, based on the internal
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by ICAI.

account and records examined by us during the course of our audit, and to the best of our knowledge and
belief, we report that:
i. (a) (A) The Company is maintaining proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative
details and situation, of Property, Plant and Equipment.
(B) The Company is maintaining proper records showing full particulars of Intangible Assets.
(b) The Property, Plant and Equipment are physically verified by the Management according to a
phased programme designed to cover all the items over a period of 2 years which, in our opinion, is
reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to the
programme, the Property, Plant and Equipment has been physically verified by the Management
during the year and no material discrepancies have been noticed on such verification.
(c) The title deeds of all the immovable properties (other than properties where the Company is the

2.1 to 3 to the standalone financial statements, are held in the name of the Company.
(d) The Company has chosen cost model for its Property, Plant and Equipment (including Right of
Use assets) and intangible assets. Consequently, the question of our commenting on whether the
revaluation is based on the valuation by a Registered Valuer, or specifying the amount of change,
if the change is 10% or more in the aggregate of the net carrying value of each class of Property,
Plant and Equipment (including Right of Use assets) or intangible assets does not arise.
(e) Based on the information and explanations furnished to us, no proceedings have been initiated
on or are pending against the Company for holding benami property under the Prohibition of
Benami Property Transactions Act, 19 (as amended in 2016) (formerly the Benami Transactions
(Prohibition) Act, 19 (45 of 19 )) and Rules made thereunder, and therefore the question of our
commenting on whether the Company has appropriately disclosed the details in the standalone
financial statements does not arise.
ii. (a) The physical verification of inventory excluding stocks with third parties has been conducted at
reasonable intervals by the Management during the year and, in our opinion, the coverage and
procedure of such verification by Management is appropriate. In respect of inventory lying with third
parties, these have substantially been confirmed by them. The discrepancies noticed on physical
verification of inventory as compared to book records were not 10% or more in aggregate for each
class of inventory.

Sections 177 and 1 of the Act. The details of related party transactions have been disclosed in the

financial year.
xviii. There has been no resignation of the statutory auditors during the year and accordingly the reporting

has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that any material uncertainty exists as on the date
of the audit report that the Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the date of balance
sheet as and when they fall due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however,
state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of the Company. We further state that our

a) Corporate information:
Cummins India Limited (‘CIL’ or ‘the Company’) is a public company domiciled in India and is
incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act applicable in India. The Company’s
shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India. The registered office of the
Company is located at Cummins India Office Campus, Balewadi, Pune. The Company is
engaged in the business of manufacturing, trading and selling of engines and allied activities.
(CIN : L29112PN1962PLC012276)
The standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 were authorised for
issue in accordance with the resolution of the directors on May 29, 2024.
b) Basis of preparation:
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of division II of
schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (Ind AS compliant schedule III).
The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets
and liabilities:
- certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) which have
been measured at fair value,
- assets held for sale are measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell
- defined benefit plans - Plan assets are measured at fair value
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Company’s
normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets
for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained
its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and
liabilities.
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value on initial recognition and at each
balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair
value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s
ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling
it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is described, as follows, based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
i) Level 1 — uoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
ii) Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
iii) Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and
liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level
of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarises accounting policy for fair
value.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis,
the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes:
Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions (Refer note 35 and
44)
Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) (Refer note 4, 5, 9 to 13)
Investment properties (Refer note 3 and 44)
Property plant and equipment, capital work in progress and investment properties are stated at
cost of acquisition or construction net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss (if any).
All significant costs relating to the acquisition and installation of property plant and equipment/
investment properties are capitalised. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other
repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the financial
year in which they are incurred. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to
be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciate them separately based on their specific useful
lives.
Depreciation is computed on straight line method based on useful lives, determined based on
internal technical evaluation, as follows:
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the
end of each reporting period.
Freehold land is carried at cost. Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains and losses
arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment which are carried at cost are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Leasehold improvements are amortised on straight line basis over the period of lease.
Transfers are made to investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers
between investment property and owner-occupied property do not change the carrying amount
of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or
disclosure purposes.
e) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following
initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised over their
respective useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the
intangible asset may be impaired.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains and losses arising from disposal of intangible
assets which are carried at cost are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
f) Inv entories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for
obsolescence.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for
as follows:
Raw materials : cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Finished goods and work in progress : cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity.
Traded goods : cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Material cost is determined on weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Material in transit is valued at cost incurred till
date.
The Company’s financial statements are presented in INR ( ), which is also the functional
currency of the Company.
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the functional currency spot rates prevailing
on the date of transactions. Monetary foreign currency financial assets and liabilities are
translated at functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. The resulting
exchange differences are appropriately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non - monetary items
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non- monetary items
measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in
the fair value of the item.
Revenue from contracts with customers for sale of products is recognised, generally at a
point in time, when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that
reflects the transaction price which is the consideration that the Company expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods, excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the
government e.g. goods and service tax (GST). The Company has generally concluded that
it is the principal in its revenue arrangements.
The Company provides retrospective volume rebates to certain customers once the
quantity of products purchased by them during the period exceeds a threshold specified
in the contract. Rebates are offset against amounts payable by the customer and are
reduced from revenue. To estimate the variable consideration for the expected future
rebates, the Company applies the most likely amount method for contracts with a single-
volume threshold and the expected value method for contracts with more than one volume
threshold. The selected method that best predicts the amount of variable consideration is
primarily driven by the number of volume thresholds contained in the contract.
The Company typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at
the time of sale. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The Company provides installation services that can be either sold separately or bundled
together with the sale of products to a customer. The installation services can be obtained
from other providers and do not significantly customise or modify the product sold.
Contracts for bundled sales of products and installation services are comprised of two
performance obligations because the promises to transfer products and provide installation
services are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable. Accordingly, the Company
allocates the transaction price based on the relative standalone selling prices of the products
and installation services.
The Company recognises revenue from installation services over time, using an output
method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company.
Revenue from sale of products is recognised at a point in time, generally upon delivery of
the products.
The Company has long-term service contracts with customers. Revenue from service
contracts is recognised over time i.e based on the proportionate completion method.
Completion is determined as a proportion of costs incurred till date to the total estimated
contract costs. Provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen. The
Company considers that this method is an appropriate measure of the progress towards
complete satisfaction of these performance obligations under Ind AS 115.
In case of other service contracts, revenue is recognized over time, using input/output
method, when services are rendered and on receipt of confirmation from customers, as the
case may be.
v i) Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred
to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer
before the customer pays the consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is
recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due when
billing has been done) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the
Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised
when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities
are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
ix) Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate method (‘EIR’). 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 amount
of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating EIR,
the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of
the financial instrument but doesn’t consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is
included in Other Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
x) Rental income is recognised on straight-line basis over the lease term, other than escalations
on account of inflation.
xi) Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive payment is
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That
is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except
for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities
to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying
assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the
date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of
lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised,
initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date
less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the
cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated
useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the
accounting policies in section “o” impairment of non-financial assets.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured
at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments
include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected
to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing
rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not
readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased
to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the
carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease
term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change
in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of
an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
offices and warehouses. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to
leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising on such
leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased
asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents
are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
j) Employee benefits
The Company operates following post-employment schemes, including both defined benefit
and defined contribution plans.
A) Post-employment benefits
A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions
into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay
further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the
benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Company has
defined contribution plans for post employment benefits in the form of superannuation
fund for management employees and provident fund for non management employees
which is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India/regional provident
fund commissioner. In case of superannuation fund for management employees
and provident fund for non management employees, the Company has no further
obligation beyond making the contributions. The contributions are accounted for as
employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contribution is recognised as
an asset to the extent cash refund or reduction in future contribution is available.
Funded Plan: The Company has defined benefit plans for post-employment benefits
in the form of gratuity for all employees, pension for non management employees and
provident fund for management employees which are administered through Company
managed trust/Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Unfunded Plan: The Company has unfunded defined benefit plans in the form of post
retirement medical benefits (PRMB) and ex-gratia benefits as per the policy of the
Company.
Liability for above defined benefit plans is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the
Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial method used
for measuring the liability is Projected Unit Credit method. In case of provident fund for
management employees, the Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if
any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
The Company’s contributions and such shortfall are charged to the Statement of Profit
and Loss as and when incurred.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit
liability or asset. The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit
obligation as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current Service costs, past-Service costs, gains and
losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset
ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability)
and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net
defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which
they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods.
Liability for compensated absences is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance
Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used
for measuring the liability is Projected Unit Credit method. Under this method, projected
accrued benefit is calculated at the beginning of the year and again at the end of the year
for each benefit that will accrue for active members of the plan. The “projected accrued
benefit” is based on the plan’s accrual formula and upon service as of the beginning or end
of the year, but using a member’s final compensation, projected to the age at which the
employee is assumed to leave active service. The plan liability is the actuarial present value
of the “projected accrued benefits” as of the beginning of the year for active members.
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available
for use or sale
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
- How the asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the asset
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried
at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation
of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is
amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another
asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
l) Income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, as the case may be.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the taxation laws prevailing and applicable for the relevant assessment year. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the
basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income taxes are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their tax bases in the financial statements. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in the tax rates is recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized. 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 tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and
in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet
date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. A disclosure for a contingent liability is
made where there is a possible obligation arising out of past event, the existence of which will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation arising out of past event
where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance
cost.
The Company tests non financial assets for impairment at the close of the accounting period if
and only if there are indications that suggest a possible reduction in the recoverable value of an
asset. If the recoverable value of an asset, i.e. the net realizable value or the economic value in
use of a cash generating unit, is lower than the carrying amount of the asset, the difference is
provided for as impairment. However, if subsequently the position reverses and the recoverable
amount becomes higher than the then carrying value the provision to the extent of the then
difference is reversed, but not higher than the amount provided for.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a
known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense
item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it
is intended to compensate, are expensed.
Where the grant relates to an asset, it is either recorded as deferred income and is recognised
as income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset, or adjusted
against the cost of the asset.
When the Company receives non-monetary grants, the asset and the grant are recorded at
fair value and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the
pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments.
When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions with an
interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is
regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognized and measured at
q) Financial instruments
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.
Financial assets
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets
not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component are measured at transaction price. For all subsequent measurements financial
assets are classified in following categories:
A) Debt instruments
This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such assets
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR).
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees for cost that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortisation is
included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally
applies to loans and trade and other receivables.
ii) Debt instruments fair value through OCI (FVTOCI): Debt instrument is classified
as FVTOCI if the financial asset 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.
When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other
gains/(losses).
iii) Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL): Debt instruments not
classified as amortised cost or FVTOCI are classified as FVTPL. The Company has
not classified any debt under this category.
B) Equity instruments
Equity instruments held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments,
the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI the subsequent changes
in fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. If the
Company decides to classify an equity instrument as FVTOCI, then all fair value changes
on the instrument, excluding dividends are recognized in OCI. There is no recycling of the
amount from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity.
The Company has elected to present all equity instruments, other than those in subsidiary,
joint ventures and associate, through FVTPL and all subsequent changes are recognized
in Statement of Profit and Loss.
C) Derecognition
A financial asset (or wherever applicable, a part of the financial asset or part of a group of
similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flow from
the assets have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from
the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flow in full to a third party
under a pass through arrangement and either a) the Company has transferred substantially
all risks and rewards of the asset or b) has transferred control of the asset.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss and credit risk exposure on the financial
assets that are debt instruments measured at amortised costs e.g. loans, deposits, trade
receivables, lease receivable and bank balances.
The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance
on trade receivables and lease receivables. The application of simplified approach does
not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment
loss allowance based on lifetime ECL’s at each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company
determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12 month ECL is used to provide for
impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If
in subsequent period the credit risk reduces since initial recognition, then the entity reverts
to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix, based on the age of the
receivables classified into various age buckets, to determine impairment loss allowance
on portfolio of its trade receivables. The matrix is based on its historically observed default
Impairment loss allowance including ECL or reversal recognized during the period
is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is
reflected under the head ‘Other Expenses’ in Statement of Profit and Loss. The impairment
loss is presented as an allowance in the Balance Sheet as a reduction from the net carrying
amount of the trade receivable, loan, deposits and lease receivable respectively.
Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. The Company’s financial liabilities
include trade and other payables, other financial liabilities, loans and borrowings and
derivative financial instruments.
All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Amortised cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings,
trade and other payables. After initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit
and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortisation
process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are integral part of EIR. EIR amortisation is included as
finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Deriv ativ es
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to
hedge its foreign currency risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized
at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered and are subsequently
remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value
is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the Statement of
Profit and Loss.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109,
the Company does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification
requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded
in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair
value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host
contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value though
profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair
value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging
instruments.
After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity
instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets, which are debt instruments, a
reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those
assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. If the Company
reclassifies the financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the
reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following
the change in the business model.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance
Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the Company when the
distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
a) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to
the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified
as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder
of the Company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are
treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are 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 events such as bonus
issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of
shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.

The investment properties consist of office premises and plants. As at March 31, 2024 the fair
value of the properties is 1,416.71 Crore (As at March 31, 2023: 1,453.73 Crore). These
fair values are based on valuations performed by a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of
Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. A valuation model as recommended
by International Valuation Standards Committee has been applied. The Company considers factors
like management intention, terms of rental agreements, area leased out, life of the assets etc. to
determine classification of assets as investment properties. The rental income considered in the
table above is from the date of rental agreement or date of re-classification from property, plant and
equipment as applicable.
Description of v aluation techniques used and key inputs to v aluation on inv estment
properties
As per the DCF method, fair value is defined as the present value of future cash flows that can be
withdrawn from the Company. To estimate the cash flows available, projected cash flows of the
Company are considered for certain future years (explicit forecast period). Based on the projected
cash flows, the free cash flows from subject properties are estimated. The Company has discounted
the net cash flows to arrive at the present value of free cash flows. After the explicit period, the
subject properties will continue to generate cash. In DCF method, therefore, perpetuity value/
capitalized value/terminal value is also considered to arrive at the value of the subject properties.

The Company has compiled this information based on intimations received from the suppliers of
their status as Micro or Small Enterprises and / or their registration with the appropriate authority
under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,
and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in an outcome that requires a material adjustment to
the carrying amount of assets or liabilities effected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its
assumptions and estimation on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post–employment medical benefits and
The discount rate is the parameter most subject to change. In determining the appropriate discount
rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Mortality tables tend to
change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity
increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations
are given in note 40.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured
using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from
observable markets if available, otherwise, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair
values. udgements 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 the financial
instrument. Refer note 44 for further disclosures.
For estimates relating to warranty, statutory matters and NEPI (refer note 39)

notes 41(b) and (c) above are as follows:
42 As set out in section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company is required to contribute
20.01 Crores (March 31, 2023: 15.57 Crores) towards Corporate Social Responsibility activities,
as calculated basis 2% of its average net profits of the last three financial years. Accordingly, during
the current year, the Board has approved and the Company has contributed 20.01 Crores (March
31, 2023: 15.57 Crores) to Cummins India Foundation towards eligible projects as mentioned in
Schedule III (including amendments thereto) of the Companies Act, 2013. Apart from the above
contribution to Cummins India Foundation, the Company has not made any direct expenditure/
contributions of capital nature. Unspent contribution amounting to 3.67 Crores (March 31, 2023:
1.55 Crores) has been transferred by the Company to a separate bank account as per the
requirement.
The Company has well written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk
and investments which seek to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial
performance due to external factors. The Company uses derivatives to hedge foreign exchange
risk exposures. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. All
derivatives and investment activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist
team that has appropriate skills, experience and supervision. As per the Company’s policy no
trading in derivatives for speculation purpose may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews
and approves policies for managing each of these risks.
The Company’s activities are exposed to variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency
risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
a) Market 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. Market risk comprises three types of risks as
follows:
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency
exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, GBP and Euro. Foreign exchange
risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
Management has set up a policy to manage their foreign exchange risk against their
functional currency. To manage the foreign exchange risk arising from recognised
assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward contracts.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity relating to possible change in foreign
currencies with all other variables held constant:
Crore
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Currency % change Effect on profit before Effect on profit before
tax and pre-tax equity tax and pre-tax equity
USD 1% 0.21 1.05
Euro 1% 0.05 0.60
Others 1% 0.02 0.15
Total 0.28 1.80
The movement in the pre-tax effect is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative
financial instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and financial assets
and liabilities denominated in various currencies. Although the derivatives have not
been designated in a hedge relationship, they act as economic hedge and offset the
underlying transactions when they occur.
Interest rate risk is the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument which
fluctuates because of changes in the market interest rates. In order to optimise the
Company’s position with regards to interest income and interest expense, treasury
team manages the interest rate risk by balancing the portion of fixed rate and floating
rate in its total portfolio.
Borrowings of 100 Crores outstanding as at March 31, 2024 (As at March 31, 2023
: 350.04 Crores) were at floating rate linked to T-Bill / MIBOR + applicable spread.
The Company invests its surplus funds in mutual funds which are linked to debt
markets. The Company is exposed to price risk for investments in mutual funds that
are classified as fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from
investments in mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification and
investment in the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits approved by the Board
of Directors.
Profit after tax for the year would increase / decrease as a result of gains / losses on
mutual funds classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under financial instrument
or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk
primarily from trade receivables, contract assets, other receivables, deposits with banks and
loans given.
Senior management is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each new
customer before standard payment, delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company
assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past
experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external
assessment. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date for all customers. The maximum
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial
assets disclosed in note 10 and 13.
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s treasury department
in accordance with Company’s policy approved by the Risk Management Committee.
Investments of surplus funds are made within the credit limits and as per the policy approved
by the Board of Directors.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect
any losses from non-performance of the above assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk
at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note
5, 9, 11, 12 and 13.
c) Liquidity risk
As per the Company’s policy, treasury team invests surplus cash in marketable securities
and time deposits with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide headroom
to meet the operational needs. At the reporting date, the Company held mutual funds of
441.31 Crore (March 31, 2023: 6 9.93 Crore) and other liquid assets of 291.77 Crore
(March 31, 2023: 391.27 Crore) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for
managing liquidity risk.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based
on contractual undiscounted payments.
The gearing ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as
shown in the balance sheet plus all other reserves attributable to equity shareholders of the
Company.

44 Fair v alues
The following table provides a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of
the Company’s financial instruments other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable
approximations of fair values and investment properties.
The Management assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,
trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts
largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is included at the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale.
The fair value of investments in mutual funds is based on the price quotation at the reporting date
obtained from the asset management companies. The Company enters into derivative financial
instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions. Foreign exchange forward
contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of market observable
inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present
value calculations.

in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies

assets of the Group 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,

an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,

joint venture/associate respectively that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, no
funds (which are material either individually or in the aggregate) have been received
by the Company or any of such subsidiary/joint venture/associate from any persons or
entities, including foreign entities (“Funding Parties”), with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company or any of such subsidiary/ joint
venture/associate shall, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (“Ultimate
(c) Based on the audit procedures, that has been considered reasonable and appropriate
in the circumstances, performed by us and those performed by the auditors of the
joint venture/associate which are companies incorporated in India whose financial
statements have been audited under the Act, nothing has come to our or other auditor’s
notice that has caused us or the other auditors to believe that the representations
under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e) contain any material misstatement.
v. The dividend declared and paid during the year by the Holding Company, its associate
company and joint venture, is in compliance with Section 123 of the Act. The subsidiary
Company has not declared/paid any dividend during the year.
vi. Based on our examination, which included test checks and that performed by the respective
auditors of the associate and joint venture, which are companies incorporated in India whose
financial statements have been audited under the Act, other than in respect of one joint
venture as described below, the Group and its associate have used accounting software
for maintaining books of account which have a feature of recording audit trail (edit log)
facility. However, the audit trail feature did not operate throughout the year. Accordingly, the
question of our commenting on whether the audit trail was tampered with, does not arise.
The following remark was included in the audit report dated May 21, 2024, containing an
unmodified audit opinion on the financial statements of Valvoline Cummins Private Limited,
a joint venture of the Holding Company issued by an independent firm of Chartered
Accountants, which is reproduced as under:
Based on our examination which included test checks, the Company has used accounting
software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail
(edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions
recorded in the software, except that audit trail feature is not enabled for direct changes,
if any, made using certain privileged or administrative access rights to the underlying
database. Further, during the course of our audit no instance of audit trail feature being
tampered with was noted in respect of the accounting software.
17. The Group has paid/provided for managerial remuneration in accordance with the requisite approvals
mandated by the provisions of Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act. The provisions of Section
197 read with Schedule V to the Act are applicable only to public companies. Accordingly, reporting
under Section 197(16) of the Act is not applicable to the associate company and joint venture.

Auditor’ s Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference
to consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under
Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those
Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls
with reference to consolidated financial statements was established and maintained and if such
controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an
understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other
auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial
controls system with reference to consolidated financial statements.
Opinion
. In our opinion, the Holding Company, its subsidiary company, its associate company and joint venture,
which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal
financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

As per our report of even date
For Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants LLP For and on behalf of the Board
ICAI Firm Registration Number : 304026E/E-300009
a) Corporate information
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Cummins India
Limited (‘CIL’ or ‘the Company’) and its subsidiary (together referred to as ‘the Group’) for
the year ended March 31, 2024. The Company is a public company domiciled in India and is
incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act applicable in India. The Company’s
shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India. The registered office of the
Company is located at Cummins India Office Campus, Balewadi, Pune. The Group is principally
engaged in the business of manufacturing, trading and selling of engines and allied activities.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2024 were
authorised for issue in accordance with the resolution of the directors on May 29, 2024.
b) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of
division II of schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (Ind AS compliant schedule III).
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the
following assets and liabilities:
- certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) which have
been measured at fair value;
- assets held for sale are measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell;
- defined benefit plans - Plan assets are measured at fair value.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Group’s
normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets
for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained
its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and
liabilities.
c) Principles of consolidation
i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group
and are not consolidated from the date that control ceases. Control is achieved when the
Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Profit or loss on each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of parent of the
Group and to the non- controlling interest.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances. The financial statements of all
entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that
of the parent company, i.e. year end on March 31.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant
influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. A joint venture is a type of
joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing
of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Investments in associates and joint venture companies have been accounted for by using
the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost. The
carrying amount of the investment is adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition changes in
the investor’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture.
The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the
associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the
Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity
of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when
applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting
from transactions between the Group and the associate and joint venture are eliminated to
the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture. If an entities share of losses of
an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture
(which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net
investment in the associate or joint venture), the entity discontinues recognizing its share
of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate
or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the entity
resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the
share of losses not recognized.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting
period as the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture,
the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference
between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant
influence or joint control and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from
disposal is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Group measures financial instruments at fair value on initial recognition and at each Balance
Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value
of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s
ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling
it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is described, as follows, based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
i) Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
ii) Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
iii) Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and
liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level
of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarises accounting policy for fair
value.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis,
the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes:
Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions Note 35 and 47
Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) Note 4, 5, 9 to 13
Investment Properties Note 3 and 47
Property plant and equipment, capital work in progress and investment properties are stated at
cost of acquisition or construction net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss (if any).
All significant costs relating to the acquisition and installation of property plant and equipment/
investment properties are capitalised. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the financial year in
which they are incurred.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the
Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Depreciation is computed on straight line method based on useful lives, determined based on
internal technical evaluation as follows:
Roads 10 years
Vehicles 8 to 9 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the
end of each reporting period.
Freehold land is carried at cost. Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains and losses
arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment which are carried at cost are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Leasehold improvements are amortised on straight line basis over the period of lease.
Transfers are made to investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers
between investment property and owner-occupied property do not change the carrying amount
of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or
disclosure purposes.
f) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following
initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised over their
respective useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the
intangible asset may be impaired.
Softwares are amortised over a period of useful lives from the date of purchase/date of
completion of development and put to use (3-5 years), being the estimated useful life as per
the management estimate or license term whichever is less. The amortisation period for an
intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed atleast at the end of each reporting period.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains and losses arising from disposal of intangible
assets which are carried at cost are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
g) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for
as follows:
Raw materials : cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Finished goods and work in progress : cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity.
Traded goods : cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Material cost is determined on weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Material in transit is valued at cost incurred till
date.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in INR (`), which is also CIL and
subsidiary’s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the functional currency spot rates prevailing
on the date of transactions. Monetary foreign currency financial assets and liabilities are
translated at functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. The resulting
exchange differences are appropriately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non - monetary items
i) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers for sale of products is recognised, generally at
a point in time, when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount
that reflects the transaction price which is the consideration that the Group expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods, excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the
government e.g. goods and service tax (GST). The Group has generally concluded that it
is the principal in its revenue arrangements.
The Group provides retrospective volume rebates to certain customers once the quantity
of products purchased by them during the period exceeds a threshold specified in the
contract. Rebates are offset against amounts payable by the customer and are reduced
from revenue. To estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebates, the
Group applies the most likely amount method for contracts with a single-volume threshold
and the expected value method for contracts with more than one volume threshold. The
selected method that best predicts the amount of variable consideration is primarily driven
by the number of volume thresholds contained in the contract.
The Group typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time
of sale. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS 37 Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The Group provides installation services that can be either sold separately or bundled
together with the sale of products to a customer. The installation services can be obtained
from other providers and do not significantly customise or modify the product sold.
Contracts for bundled sales of products and installation services are comprised
of two performance obligations because the promises to transfer products
and provide installation services are capable of being distinct and separately
identifiable. Accordingly, the Group allocates the transaction price based on
the relative standalone selling prices of the products and installation services.
The Group recognises revenue from installation services over time, using an output method
to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. Revenue from
sale of products is recognised at a point in time, generally upon delivery of the products.
The Group has long-term service contracts with customers. Revenue from service contracts
is recognised over time i.e based on the proportionate completion method. Completion is
determined as a proportion of costs incurred till date to the total estimated contract costs.
Provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen. The Group considers
that this method is an appropriate measure of the progress towards complete satisfaction
of these performance obligations under Ind AS 115.
In case of other service contracts, revenue is recognized over time, using input/output
method, when services are rendered and on receipt of confirmation from customers, as the
case may be.
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred
to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer
before the customer pays the consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is
recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the
Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due when billing has
been done) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers
goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is
made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as
revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
ix) Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate method (EIR). 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 amount
of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating EIR
the Group, estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of
the financial instrument but doesn’t consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is
included in Other Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
x) Rental income is recognised on straight-line basis over the lease term, other than escalations
on account of inflation.
xi) Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive payment is
established.
j) Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is,
if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make
lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date
the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised,
initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date
less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost
reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful
life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting
policies in section “o” impairment of non-financial assets.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the
present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include
fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable,
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing
rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not
readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased
to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the
carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease
term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change
in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of
an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of offices
and warehouses. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases
of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases
and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising on such
leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased
asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents
are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
k) Employee benefits
The Group operates following post-employment schemes, including both defined benefit and
defined contribution plans.
A) Post-employment benefits
A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions
into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further
contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the
benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Group has
defined contribution plans for post employment benefits in the form of superannuation
fund for management employees and provident fund for non management employees
which is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India / Regional Provident
Fund Commissioner. In case of superannuation fund for management employees and
provident fund for non management employees, the Group has no further obligation
beyond making the contributions. The contributions are accounted for as employee
benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contribution is recognised as an asset to
the extent cash refund or reduction in future contribution is available.
Funded Plan: The Group has defined benefit plans for post-employment benefits in
the form of gratuity for all employees, pension for non management employees and
provident fund for management employees which are administered through Group
managed trust / Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Liability for above defined benefit plans is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the
Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial method used
for measuring the liability is Projected Unit Credit method. In case of provident fund
for management employees, the Group has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if
any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
The Group’s contributions and such shortfall are charged to the Statement of Profit
and Loss as and when incurred.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit
liability or asset. The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit
obligation as an expense in the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss:
- Service costs comprising current Service costs, past-Service costs, gains and
losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset
ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability)
and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net
defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which
they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods.
Liability for compensated absences is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance
Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Actuarial valuation method used
for measuring the liability is Projected Unit Credit method. Under this method, projected
accrued benefit is calculated at the beginning of the year and again at the end of the year
for each benefit that will accrue for active members of the plan. The “projected accrued
benefit “ is based on the plan’s accrual formula and upon service as of the beginning or end
of the year, but using a member’s final compensation, projected to the age at which the
employee is assumed to leave active service. The plan liability is the actuarial present value
of the “ projected accrued benefits “ as of the beginning of the year for active members.
The present value of defined benefit obligation denominated in INR (`) is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash flows by reference to the market yield at the end of
the reporting period on the government bonds that have terms approximately equal to the
terms of the related obligation.
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available
for use or sale
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
- How the asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the asset
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried
at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation
of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is
amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another
asset.
During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
m) Income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, as the case may be.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the taxation laws prevailing and applicable for the relevant assessment year. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the
basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income taxes are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their tax bases in the consolidated financial statements. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilized. 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 tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity
and the same taxation authority.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is
used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
The Group tests non financial assets for impairment at the close of the accounting period if and
only if there are indications that suggest a possible reduction in the recoverable value of an
asset. If the recoverable value of an asset, i.e. the net realizable value or the economic value in
use of a cash generating unit, is lower than the carrying amount of the asset, the difference is
provided for as impairment. However, if subsequently the position reverses and the recoverable
amount becomes higher than the then carrying value the provision to the extent of the then
difference is reversed, but not higher than the amount provided for.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a
known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
q) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense
item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it
is intended to compensate, are expensed.
Where the grant relates to an asset, it is either recorded as deferred income and is recognised
as income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset, or adjusted
against the cost of the asset.
When the Group receives non-monetary grants, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair
value and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the
pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments.
When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions with an
interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is
r) Financial instruments
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.
Financial assets
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets
not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component are measured at transaction price. For all subsequent measurements financial
assets are classified in following categories:
A) Debt instruments
This category is most relevant to the Group. After initial measurement, such assets
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR).
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees for cost that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortisation is
included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally
applies to loans and trade and other receivables.
ii) Debt instruments fair value through OCI (FVTOCI): Debt instrument is classified
as FVTOCI if the financial asset 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.
When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other
gains/(losses).
iii) Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL): Debt instruments not
classified as amortised cost or FVTOCI are classified as FVTPL. The Group has not
classified any debt under this category.
B) Equity instruments
Equity instruments held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments,
the Group may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI the subsequent changes
in fair value. The Group makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. If the
Group decides to classify an equity instrument as FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on
the instrument, excluding dividends are recognized in OCI. There is no recycling of the
amount from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Group may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity.
The Group has elected to present all equity instruments, other than those in joint ventures
and associate, through FVTPL and all subsequent changes are recognized in Statement of
Profit and Loss.
C) Derecognition
A financial asset (or wherever applicable, a part of the financial asset or part of a Group of
similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flow from
the assets have expired or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from
the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flow in full to a third party
under a pass through arrangement and either a) the Group has transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of the asset or b) has transferred control of the asset.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss and credit risk exposure on the financial
assets that are debt instruments measured at amortised costs e.g. loans, deposits, trade
receivables, lease receivable and bank balances.
The Group follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on
trade receivables and lease receivables. The application of simplified approach does not
require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment loss
allowance based on lifetime ECL’s at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group
determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12 month ECL is used to provide for
impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If
in subsequent period the credit risk reduces since initial recognition, then the entity reverts
to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
As a practical expedient, the Group uses a provision matrix, based on the age of the
receivables classified into various age buckets, to determine impairment loss allowance
on portfolio of its trade receivables. The matrix is based on its historically observed default
rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward looking
estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and
changes in the forward looking estimates are analysed. The Group has presumed that
default doesn’t occur later than when a financial asset is 90 days past due.
293 Annual Report 2023-2024 l
Notes to consolidated financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2024
Impairment loss allowance including ECL or reversal recognized during the period is
recognized as income/ expense in Statement of Profit and Loss . This amount is reflected
under the head ‘other expenses’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The impairment loss
is presented as an allowance in the balance sheet as a reduction from the net carrying
amount of the trade receivable, loan, deposits and lease receivable respectively.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. The Group’s financial liabilities
include trade and other payables, other financial liabilities, loans and borrowings and
derivative financial instruments.
All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Amortised cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings,
trade and other payables. After initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit
and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or cost that are integral part on EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance
cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de recognition of
the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss.
Derivatives
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to
hedge its foreign currency risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized
at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered and are subsequently
re measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value
is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit
and Loss.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109,
the Group does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification
requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded
in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair
value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host
contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value though
profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair
value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging
instruments.
After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity
instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets, which are debt instruments, a
reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing
those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. If the Group
reclassifies the financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the
reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following
the change in the business model.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance
sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
s) Dividend distribution
The Group recognises a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the parent when the
distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Group.
a) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to
the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified
as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity
holder of the parent company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes)
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid
equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are 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 events
such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders of the parent company and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.

The investment properties consist of office premises and plants. As at March 31, 2024 the fair
value of the properties is ` 1,416.71 Crore (As at March 31, 2023: ` 1,453.73 Crore). These
fair values are based on valuations performed by a registered valuer, as defined under rule 2 of
Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. A valuation model as recommended
by International Valuation Standards Committee has been applied. The Company considers factors
like management intention, terms of rental agreements, area leased out, life of the assets etc. to
determine classification of assets as investment properties. The rental income considered in the
table above is from the date of rental agreement or date of re-classification from property, plant and
equipment as applicable.
The Group has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment properties and no contractual
obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment properties or for repairs, maintenance
and enhancements. Fair value disclosures for investment properties are provided in Note 47.
As per the DCF method, fair value is defined as the present value of future cash flows that can be
withdrawn from the Group. To estimate the cash flows available, projected cash flows of the Group
are considered for certain future years (explicit forecast period). Based on the projected cash
flows, the free cash flows from subject properties are estimated. The Group has discounted the
net cash flows to arrive at the present value of free cash flows. After the explicit period, the subject
properties will continue to generate cash. In DCF method, therefore, perpetuity value/capitalized
value/terminal value is also considered to arrive at the value of the subject properties.

The Group has compiled this information based on intimations received from the suppliers of their
status as Micro or Small Enterprises and / or their registration with the appropriate authority under
the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and
the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in an outcome that requires a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities effected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its
assumptions and estimation on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due
to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post–employment medical benefits and
the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial
valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the
future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality
rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at
each reporting date.
The discount rate is the parameter most subject to change. In determining the appropriate discount
rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Mortality tables tend to
change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity
increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations
are given in note 42.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured
using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from
observable markets if available, otherwise, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair
values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial
instrument. Refer note 47 for further disclosures.
For estimates relating to warranty, statutory matters and NEPI (refer note 39).

The estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation,
seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on
defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of
the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis are based on a change in a significant assumption, keeping
all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of an actual change in
the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in isolation from
one another.

a) Market 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. Market risk comprises three types of risks as follows:
The movement in the pre-tax effect is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and financial assets and liabilities denominated
in various currencies. Although the derivatives have not been designated in a hedge relationship,
they act as economic hedge and offset the under lying transactions when they occur.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity relating to possible change in investment value
with all other variables held constant:
` Crore
% change March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Effect on profit before Effect on profit before tax

Mutual funds 0.50% 2.21 3.45
Profit after tax for the year would increase / decrease as a result of gains / losses on mutual funds
classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk primarily from
trade receivables, contract assets, other receivables, deposits with banks and loans given.
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Group’s treasury department in accordance
with Group’s policy approved by the Risk Management Committee. Investments of surplus funds
are made within the credit limits and as per the policy approved by the Board of Directors.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any
losses from non-performance of the above assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 5,9,11,12 and
13.
c) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed by Treasury function. Treasury team monitors rolling forecasts
of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet the operational needs.

time deposits with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide headroom to meet the
operational needs. At the reporting date, the Group held mutual funds of ` 441.31 crore (March 31,
2023 : ` 689.93 crore) and other liquid assets of ` 299.89 crore (March 31, 2023 : ` 396.69 crore)

benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of
capital. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in

The following table provides a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of
the Group’s financial instruments other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable
approximations of fair values and investment properties.

Non-current assets
Investment properties 977.31 1,019.04 1,416.71 1,453.73
The Management assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,
trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts
largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is included at the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale.
The fair value of investments in mutual funds is based on the price quotation at the reporting
date obtained from the asset management companies. The Group enters into derivative financial
instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions. Foreign exchange forward
contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of market observable
inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present
value calculations.
